i'm suffering from message overload and facing message complexity from studying for tml's mid term. gosh, i haven been doing hardcore studying for such a long time.
at least aft tml i'll be able to breathe a little, just a wee bit, easier.
during the break, i just need to:
1. churn out my persuasive speech on illegal online d/l;
2. start my hypothetical-thought-term paper;
3. compile a 4-page report on the most hideous website i've ever seen;
4. churn out a campaign proposal;
5. find a group for my group speech;
6. start reading my $44 IMC textbook;
7. start rummaging for articles relating electronic broadcast to climate change.
and the list still goes on...
and i have a week for all those. (so kids in sn, don't complain abt the projects you have to do.)
anw, for some bitching and nonsensical ramblings:
i realised some people around are well, pretty shameless. or over-confident, depending on how i prefer to look at it. some actually do self-promotion and self-recommendation. if whatever content that they have is substantial, in-depth and well-supported, i have nothing to say. but sometimes, i think some are too eager to impress that they don't think through their thoughts and arguments beforehand. in the end, they are "selling" their incoherent, half-baked arguments.
it just irritates me to know how much a few pple take pride in their half-baked arguments and not strive/attempt to improve on their arguments or back their ideas with supporting evidence.
if you really have a writer's block and can't think of a very sophiscated, coherent argument (like me), at least attempt to google/wiki or find some quotes to back your arguments.
do i sound i little degrading? i hope not. i'm just bitching. haha.
anyway, read the most unusual report a few days ago. it had quite a bit of emotive language, which is weird for a report. most reports try to be objective but Article 19 on freedom of expression in singapore used really colourful emotive language. that's quite amusing when i was reading while feeling sleep-deprived and grouchy at 1am. quote, "private and family owned newspapers were run to the ground by Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, in his fervour to control the domestic press."
it's just so... unlike a study report.
anyway, better get back to study.
a pinch of positive visualisation, a dash of hypothetical thought and a sprinkle of perceptual accentuation. voila!
