Special request from laoda....here's a post ;)
Well, went to meet up with the Asiasoft ppl today, got some small-scale sponsorship from them (better than nothing ar). The meeting was quite an eye-opener, my first with "office ppl" eh, we had some ideas (they nvr tot of) for them to market their games better, they also had some ideas for our camps as well. I was also curious to find out what issit that the companies look out for, what do they hope to gain from sponsoring our events. It helps when we meet them face-to-face, have a simple chit-chat compared to emailing.
Marketing has been shitty as expected, got rejected by almost everyone I sent a proposal to. Maybe it's something to do with the way I go about calling them, but most of the time, I get diverted away from the person I wana speak to by the telephone operator who just throws me an email address and all I can do is email the proposal to the marketing personnel and hope against hope tt he sees from my perspective how the company stands to gain by sponsoring us for the events.
Before the holidays started, I told myself to read up on bio in preparation for nxt sem's LSM1401 since I totally don't have bio backgrd, not even O'lvls. Since late Apr til now, haven't done any reading yet. SLACK! Still no motivation to start sia, zzz. Only read 2 storybks, played lots of Pangya, busy wif marketing, and recently, started watching Supernatural.
Its quite a nice show to watch really, the rivalry, jealousy, envy between Dean and Sam, how they're willing to die for each other, always watching each others' back as they hunt down demons and those supernatural stuff. The way they complement each other is always a pleasure to watch. Dean being a college kid, always the one researching and reading up about how to handle the "monsters" they're about to face, Sam being the tougher one, taking care of his younger brother, usually calm and composed even when in danger. The show is also very funny, full of humour. The kinda lame conversation they have with the monsters before they fight, really cannot take it sometimes, lol. I really love the car Dean drives though, a Chevy '67 Impala. Really hope to find the model kit in future, hoho.
Went to watch Fantastic 4 with Jie Ren and Jeff eh, a spontaneous decision at JP aft they suddenly ask me out to tok cok at JP. Life's kinda boring if everything was properly planned out initially eh? Such surprises are kinda fun to have sometimes. I din even intend to watch the movie in the first place, lol. Well, besides watching Jessica Alba and all that graphics, the plot is crap really. Similar to Spiderman 2, the "bad guy" suicides to save the world (there was nothing the F4 could do to save the world if the Silver Surfer din help). The movie is too different from the comic, according to Jie Ren, so I guess that turns ppl off, particularly those who followed the comic/cartoon in the past.
There wasn't much football to watch aft the EPL ended and this is one of the few yrs w/o World Cup or Euros to watch, so bored to death w/o football on wkend nites! There was the last match of the Spanish La Liga which will decide who wins the title and man, was it exciting to watch Real Madrid play. They were down 1-0 in the 1st half when their title challengers Barca went something like, 3-0 up? They were playing well but couldn't put the ball in the net and their opponents managed to score a goal with only occasional chances. What more to explain than a 65% possession? After some substitutions, they somehow made a fortuitous comeback winning the tie 3-1 and claiming the title.
Results are still on the downhill, hope to make a u-turn nxt sem if possible, looks like on average, I'm a straight B's student in uni at best, hahaha. Gotta work the proper way if i manage to discover it, do a "REAL-move". =P
