life's a one way road

Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) is debutting in ASIA. Shanghai & HK to be more precise. Hitting the chinese markets. WHY WHY WHY? WHy dun hit the SG market first?!! They rather hit the not-so-happening fashion market of the country we all 崇洋 (all thanks to the strat group mates this word is highly used nowadays... but guess none of u will be at this site so hurh hurh.) than hit the more trendy sg. Haiz...
Oh my my... good old Sweden memories. Miss the snow. Miss the fresh air. Miss the slow pace of life. Miss the vast lands. Miss the greens. Miss the crazy party filled raslatt. Miss Bus 1 to sch. Miss Juneporten. Miss A6. Miss bank streets. Blehz. And i know pple going there next sem. I also want to go. And guess wat... it has started to snow in wat used to be my 2nd home. But the scandic pple r not that excited abt it apparently... coz summer came late n winter came early. I would trade my place here with my buddy ANYTIME which he agreed to... just that we haf yet to figure out how that's going to work.. Hurh hurh... essentially it means NO GO. Booo...
Hmmm... back to H&M... So want H&M stuff still muz fly out to get. *sobz* but at least now can fly to a nearer destination. Hurh hurh... nubbad.. considering got friends from HK & pple going there for exchange & the fam in Shanghai. & plans with my dearest gals brewing & trying to coincide the dates with my colleague & promising to visit pple over there... looks like i'm set to hit HK next year. WAHAHAHA... then shun bian hit the friendly neighbours. OMG. *excited* HOLIDAY! Hope i can squeeze a short nearby trip before that though... Hmmm....(mental note to thyself: SAVE MOOLAH. NO SHOPPING. NO SPLURGING)
Okie... I realise i'm starting to like Strat... just as the sem is coming to a close. I just like the subject. the wholeness of the subject. THE BIG PICTURE. and i has brought to my attention a lot of diff companies. very interesting indeed. Just like how i got to know a lil more abt the fashion industry other than just shopping n helping them up their profit margins. At least i'm starting to make some sense in what i've been trying to study all these 3+ years. But it's a lil too late hor... need to go back n dig some stuff up to once again benefit from this course of study. Well.. maybe they should haf a lower level of strat course in yr 1 sem 1 to let pple like me see the big picture at the start. Well at least i will just get by my sems dreading n wondering why on earth i'm studying some of the stuff. though i must admit a lot of stuff still remains useless coz u won't really use them in the office. Ultimately, SOFTSKILLS r still THE most impt.. at least in my opinion.
And... guess wat... managers think i'm dumb or something lah. 2 had differing opinions on how i should record down the messages from the voicemail (to write or to type straight into excel) and so they spent like 10 mins 'arguing'. Hell manz... i'm no 10 year old kid. Grrrr... N so i got a lil pissed off n i stopped them in a GL way. oppz... haha....
Super long post... it's been awhile.
