Vote For Tan 2006!

My customer service department has recently informed me about the number of readers who complained about the length of my blog.
The last time it was the infrequent updates.
Sigh... I really do not want to be involved in marketing after all.
Humans are never satisfied.
Wonder if it is too late to change my major?

Anyway, this week has been surreal. The campaigning alone for the post of MUSA (my university’s student association) Editor has been great. I have never felt so confident and at home in school since… well pre-K.

Poster of my face everywhere around the campus grounds, giving out leaflets to friends and strangers who are now my friends, people coming up to me to wish me luck and shake my hand. Even if I do not secure the post (results at 2.30pm, Monday @ the MUSA lounge) I am happy that I have tried my best to get the post. It is a win-win situation for me really. If I get the editor post, it will look good in my CV and I’ll have the opportunity to create something cool for the people. If I lose, then I will have a lot of free time to write-in any articles I want to do (I am already the magazine’s sub-editor), do my assignments well (I hope to up my credit average to at least a distinction average in order to get a post-graduate scholarship in communications overseas. Well, that is the current plan anyway) and maybe find myself a girl for once. :P

Campaigning period official started last Friday but the General Secretary only told us like around 2pm so the competitors (there are 2 other parties fighting me for the post!) and I had the weekend to properly design my posters and such.



To Mark and Jinny, thanks for all your help. I really need Photoshop on my coms, man. Such a wicked program!

So anyway, I only got my picture inserted into my poster on Tuesday morning and handed in the master copy for MUSA’s approval. It was rejected due to the word REWARD: HE WILL GIVE YOU A MAGAZINE WORTH PICKING UP.

“I’m sorry, but they say you cannot put the word REWARD. You cannot promise the people anything,” said Gen Sec. I was like… Ok what ever! Hahaha! Kononnya I cannot promise to do my job well in my posters.

Same thing happened for the second time too. I apparently cannot use the word GIVE. Arrrggg! So frustrating!

Lost my car keys, finally bumped into the girl of my dreams, found back my keys at Sunway Security office, submitted my poster's master copy, approved by MUSA, had a drink with the girl of my dreams and found out that she is so much more than anything I could ever possibly dream about, went on a poster photocopying rampage, totally blew-off the antagonists from The December 2005 Incident, gotten a nasty paper cut from my posters and spent about RM10 on 1901 Hotdogs in one sitting (I can’t help myself! They must have put LSD in them!).

Besides that, my faithful white fully-authentic Petaling Street Nike sneakers decided to permanently retire after I ran up and down campus to put up posters on every empty notice board I could find. Well, running back and forth between my parked car at the elephant walk to campus grounds 3 times in a day may also contributed to my shoe’s demise.

In conclusion, I have never felt so good about life and myself in general. I think I may be on the right path for once.

PS: I am going to get a digital camera tomorrow! The Panasonic Lumix FX 9! The blog will have more pictures in the future. But Woon also invited me to a Mechwarrior tabletop game tommorrow @ Comic's Corner SS15 at 2pm. I was planning to bring along the gang too (Sean, David, Mark) but now we will have to see if i can get back on time.

I got to go cell now. Vincent, out!

EDIT: Woon called it off. His shore leave was cancelled. Tommorrow, my dad, David and I are going out to buy the camera. Big sister adviced us to check out Sungai Way first for the lowest prices.
