In a Book-ishy Mood!

Photobucket


Just read finish Madonna- like an icon book and it's really good!
Talks about the icon's ups and downs in her life and her usage of music as a form of escapism from the struggles in her life.- Her confrontation of pain, loss, depression, insecurities in her music.

Talks about her sad traumatic history as well and how she managed to overcome all her obstacles. - How she moved on with her failures and mistakes, learnt to grow up fast independently in a harsh environment, her constant struggle to separate her 'totally-in-control' cool public persona with her emotional personal-being, her toning down of her overly-provocative expressive image due to serious loss of fans, and how she eventually won some of them back through music and performance itself.

Most importantly, this book illustrates the human side of her, one of which the over-sensationalized scandal-loving commercial media chooses to neglect. It talks about her vulnerability and how she gained inner strength and power through religion and family, how she managed to be in full control of her own commercial image and identity and got affected by harsh criticisms and exploitation by people she trusts along the way. How she learnt to guard herself, accept inconsistencies and fickleness of popular mass-market consumption, and take control of her emotions.

It depicts how hard she works at giving her best for entirely all of her works, and fighting her insecurities restlessly so that she could remain on her throne, to be truly deserving of being branded as the Immortalized, Larger than life, Queen of Pop till today.

Sherry

I'm extremely selective about the event assignments that i go for. I only take up CLEAN event assignments. I stress that i only take up CLEAN event assignments.
NO sleazy assignments for me. NO assignments that would damage my image or damage my reputation.
NO WAY. ABSOLUTELY NO WAY. It's important for my image, my future, my moral values, and my reputation.

And most importantly, I respect myself immensely as an individual. I would stand firm on this forever. NOTHING AND NO-ONE, NO-ONE IN THE WORLD would make me change my mind about this stand. I respect myself a lot and I believe strongly in my own moral values and guard my own image and reputation strongly and stringently. I would never never never never never ever allow anything or anyone to tarnish my reputation or image. This would remain firm. Forever.

Happy Early X'mas peeps!

Oh Btw, Magic Clean is damn good!!!!!! I actually love cleaning! hehe! So other than Cif, i love Magic Clean too!


My best X'mas present was given to me today...
I really thank God for it...
I thank God that all my hard work and sufferings from rushing to work, then rushing to do my assignments, then back to studying, then back to assignments and all again, all that hussle bustle were worth it.. They were all worth it. All my sufferings and the hardship were worth it. Actually i feel like you know i'm in Tom and Jerry the cartoon series. Run here run there, forever running. Aiyah. Wadeva lah. ( Don't scold me for talking nonsense. I think i'm in a siao-mode now. )

I thank God that I have weeks to rest before my next school term starts. THough i'm gonna work still,at least i won't have to rush like a mad-dog...and get stressed like crazy. Cos got no submissions or assignments or exams now. If got too many things, I would feel like throwing all my plates and forks and spoons from the kitchen outta my windows and wait for people to scream at me! Or shoot rubberbands at everyone I see.

Actually, I really hope to be able to work as a part-time copyrighter while studying at the same time...Would be good for resume purposes as well...and can get more exposure,... and at the same time, would help me in writing better academic papers for school. But, i really need to study my school's schedule again. Yah..and another problem is that...what if it clashes with events? AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! It's like i'm in that ''I can't choose everything, i gotta choose either this or that option'' again. I cannot want everything, and do everything at the same time simultaneously.
If I can manage to do everything at one go, then i'm really SUPERWOMEN, WONDERWOMEN, PERFECTWOMEN LIAO MAN.

And another problem is that, my writing style....not everyone may like my writing style... like maybe some people think i'm childish, some people think i'm stupid, some people think i'm idiotic. I can't like open their brains up and plant a ''SHerry is the best'' seed into their heads. And my another worry is that i definitely cannot back up as a designer while writing copy, coz my hours would be irregular and school is damn important to me. I can't afford to work work work and do everything 24/7, then my assignments how?! Then my lectures and tutorials how? I can only work on designs on project, ad-hoc freelance basis, not like permanent part-time. Haiyah, Don't noe why i think so much also. Maybe i should just go underneath a tree and meditate about peaceful things now. Or please, send some birds to sing some happy songs to me.
Or maybe i should really go migrate to become a nun now lah. But i think they would reject me. Where got nuns on earth wear big earrings and heels. HAHAHAHAHA. WHERE GOT NUNS GO ZOUK OUT ONE.HAHAHAHAHAHA.

And it's really not the designing that is tedious, it's the changes... coz each time something gotta be changed or moved fast, i stress. Then sometimes programme hang i stress even more. Then Final Artwork is another thing. That one also stress. And then the printing part, also stress, colour not right, another stress. And changes and Final Artwork and the printing part are inevitable. And i need to save my brain energy for my many many many assignments and exams too. Haiyah, can someone just insert more brain energy into my mind each time i need more brain juices please? Maybe they should invent a Brain energy petrol kiosk lah.

And I need to be able to sleep peacefully when i need to. I cannot like in the middle of the night pop out and worry here worry there about printing matters.. So cannot cannot, i can't do design and copyrighting together on permanent part-time basis. If not i really go SIAO MAN! i'm damn afraid that i would have to do design and copyrighting together ultimately... Aghhhhh!!!!!! I really don't know!!!!! Sigh...so many many things i hope to do...so little little time. So much worries!!!!!! I really gotta sit down and set my priorities straight. Please send me a singing bird to sing some peaceful songs for me please.

Okay. My next option would be sales. like product sales,retail sales, part-time. Coz the stress is only there and then. And i'm loud and love to talk anyway. So yah lah, the only stress would be the sales quota. But it's only there and then. It's really weird, coz while doing sales part time while studying last time, i think i was earning more than when i worked as a designer full time after graduation. It's like after graduation with a basic cert, i was earning lesser full time! How Weird lah! How come like that?! More Stress, more hours and lesser pay. How come?! It's true that i love design a lot, and have great passion for that, but pragmatism and passion....really gotta weigh...which is more important....For now..maybe still can...but how about when i turn 27....28? Ah! i think i'm going crazy again!

But No. 1 is always studies first, always would be.

SHERRY SIAO ALREADY. YES. SHERRY REALLY SIAO ALREADYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Thank you God, for your great X'mas present. I would continue to study even harder..
Thank you God. THank you God. Thank you God. Thank you God. Thank you God. THank you God.

I THINK I'M GOING SIAO AGAIN!
THE SHERRY-SIAO-SYNDROME IS COMING BACK AGAIN! HAHAHAHA!

OKAY NITEZ WHILE I GO BACK TO MY THINK-HERE-THINK-THERE-FOREVER-CANNOT-THINK-STRAIGHT-MODE.

SHERRY-ONG-THE-ALWAYS-STRESSED-AND-SIAO-DING-DONG!!!!!

OH MY GOD! I LOVE MISS SWAN!

SHE'S FRIGGIN' COOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!hahah!
Watch this! Damn farnie lah! hahhahaha!




AND I STILL LOVE LADY GAGA! I LOVE HER COSTUMES! THEY ARE SOOOO LOUD!!!!
She reminds me of Madonna, like a style icon, and a chameleon.

Yes! I think that Madonna is damn damn good at marketing herself! I decided to write about her for my last school's blog entry for school-work ( yes! that was wad i was busy with! it is considered as an important assignment too! haha! wish me luck plz!
: 0 ) because she interests me ( better to write about sth that i would not be bored writing about! haha! ) , and i think she's the best example of a pop icon who is damn good at retaining the media's attention ( using the media to her advantage, instead of evading the media, same like Paris hilton! for self-promo!- the creation of her ( Paris Hilton's ) on-screen personality, an alter-ego,''Barbie'', utilizing the personality of the conventional EXAGGERATED ''bimbo'' stereotype that interests everyone! And that alter-ego and personality works well in the entertainment line! That's really really brilliant! ) , ( back to Madonna ) and still keeps people interested in her till today. She still sits on the throne of pop culture till today. Everything about her can be commercialized- her clothes, her pictures, her style, her books, her everything. She's a really smart businesswomen! She's a legend!

And she keeps updating her looks!
I couldn't recognize her from her Louis Vuitton bag ads actually.
Saw it so many times on mags. But totally couldn't recognize her!
The bunny ears are nice!!!

Here:

Pop culture. Flashy flamboyant outfits. Various disguises. Adventurous personality. Experimental music. Tangible Strong stage presence. Charisma. Influences. Controversies. Out-right provocative sexiness. Gay Culture. Contradictions( except for this! ) . Feminism ( except for this too! ) Pop art. All these makes Madonna, Madonna. ( And i spot the same similarities in Gaga too! )

And it's interesting.....coz...the same women actually embodies the opposing characteristics of a good mum, a protective maternal figure, and is the successful author of a popular children’s book- The English Roses.

It almost seems like this pop icon has developed for herself different distinctive complex, extreme alter-egos which plays different extreme roles simultaneously in society.....that of a commercial entertainer who embraces controversial attention and publicity, a responsible mum, an emotional ballad singer ( the Damsel in Take a Bow MV ), an empowered individual ( her rags to riches personal life-story ), an astute and opportunistic businesswomen, as well as an established author. In fact her name is a direct contradiction in itself, as Madonna is actually the name of Virgin Mary, and the image of pure virgin Mary is a blatant contrast to the provocative sultry siren Madonna portrays herself to be....


And back to Gaga!
It's like the marketeers know how to lift her up from the pack. And her identity is soo sooo strong.
People would go like ''That's so Gaga!''. It's her individualistic style!

Merry Early X'mas Everyone! I love the world today! haha!

Hi peeps!
I'm really glad to be having my holidays now. Finally.
I'd still be working and all...but it's a break from school. : )
Sorry if.....during my times of stress, i might have been a little curt and all.
That's becoz i was kan chiong about things, and din have time to articulate my points across like usual. But it feels great for me to talk lesser too.

I think i gotta learn to talk lesser as well. And listen more to people.
That makes it un-Sherry right...but u know sometimes it's really hard to find your identity.
Sometimes situations call you to grow up, and shut up and be a boring person.
In the first place, i'm never a conventional person, I had always been like that ever since the day that i'm born. And no...i've always been extroverted, but I've learnt not to be that extroverted due to bad experiences. So don't get it wrong or be offended if i look like i'm damn unfriendly or choose to cut conversations short. I'm just protecting myself.

Sometimes i feel that people should think about what they say first before saying them out loud. You need to care about how people would feel and all. Becoz we're all humans right, we might get upset with things and all. And the words would stay in our heads for life.
20 years down the road, we'll still remember. Can't be erased, never could be.

No no, I'm not talking about criticisms here, not those superficial criticisms and all..I'm immune to all of those already..i'm talking about extremely strong words that trigger lousy feelings within you and you feel your entire soul just goes into disintegration momentarily. And you felt weird, becoz usually people deem u as a strong character, why then does your soul even disintegrate temporally out of a sudden? Maybe God, that's a test for me. And that is something that i would learn to manage and would be immune to in times to come as well.

Yah, but that's life lah. We have our ups and downs, our party times to unwind. And the downs would never stop, hence we all gotta learn to handle all of these properly. We step onto Earth, we study, we work, we live. And we're all die one day. We'll never know when as well. That is life. It's very unpredictable. And everything is temporal.
We can't take anything with us when we die. So let's fully utilize our time properly on earth, since everything is temporal.


Love,
Sherry!

Finally...I can really rest. Away from all the exams and stress and submissions. ( still got a bit more...actually...a wee bit...but these would all end today.)

I need to thank God.
I really thank God for allowing people to reap the sows they seed.....Thank God for believing in me, and during those extremely difficult times...or when times when i feel like i'm really going crazy, he has been there, and arranges things to happen so that i would grow to be a better stronger individual. I thank him for the fact that he makes me learn things the hard way. I thank God for giving me a wonderful family and really understanding friends and make me realise who is important to me and what is important to me. I thank him for giving me the privilege to live on, giving me countless chances to prove myself, in teaching me to be humble, down-to-earth always and never be complacent, and strive hard and to always put in my best effort in everything i do for my own future. I thank him for teaching me how to respect each and every individual.

It's coming to the end of year...and i'm glad that though my life is hectic and all...i actually find a sense of satisfaction that this is the most fulfilling year of my life- the year when i make full use of my time properly, and when i push myself to work harder, and even harder for my future.

love,
Sherry.

Stress! Stress And more Stress!

I think i'd officially be on M.I.A mode till the 7th December.
I've got a very important exam for this new module on the 7th December.
Got work commitments in between too.
And yup, tight submission deadlines.... in between as well.
I should be able to officially rest after the 25th of December....

And i still don't understand why the prank caller still keeps disturbing me.
Becoz i was seriously expecting an important call today and it was another call from the prank caller, adopting his usual style of approach.

So it did get quite irritating as i was navigating towards an important number to make an important call and my phone kept ringing for such trivial matters and i would have to alternate between pressing 'ignore',checking out for important smses and navigating towards the important number. I seriously don't think i have the luxury of time to make an invisible ''SMS FRIEND''. Would make it a point to ignore most foreign numbers from today onwards...

Based on critical judgment, If the objective of his call is to befriend a new friend ultimately, I don't think this technique is really workable as it serves no function to add value to one's life. His General target audience, assuming that they fall within the same demographics and psychographics classification, ( a restless individual, young 20s, juggling school and work, and other commitments altogether, nonchalant about certain things and have serious attitudes about serious issues. ) would definitely not be impressed by such an approach. Does not present a form of novelty, neither does it present itself as a tasteful, cool, meticulously-crafted, sincere ( in a sense that i did some research about you already before i devised my approach ), light-hearted and comical, creative, graceful,gung-ho or stylish approach. ( does not fall in any single category of the aforementioned different features of a good approach. ) This particular technique would definitely not trigger any strong emotions and inducement to accept the friendship.

If the objective of his call is to annoy a person, technically speaking, it would induce slight annoyances during important moments. Hence, he might have achieved a little success in the beginning stage of attempting to annoy. However, this particular style of approach, having a predictable nature, can be ignored after viewing constant repetition of dials with different foreign numbers, and a constant particular number which is registered in one's mind due to repetition. ( which probably is his main-line. )

In conclusion, His investment of substantial time to the commitment of prank-calling
is not really worth-while and would not be effective in the long-run.
Even though his psyche and point of view may differ significantly with the general audience, the time he spent on this particular commitment, with this particular style of communication that would not prove to be tactically effective is valueless.

Hence it's advisable, that he should actually spend his time on better investments which could actually enhance his life significantly in a positive sense. Because, seriously, time is important and we should never take it for granted.

I'd really reward myself with a good rest after the 25th December man.
Things should be better after the 7th December.

Thanks a lot folks for listening to all my whines. haha. Please pray for me k?
My exams and assignment grades and all. They are very very important to me. : )
I'd really reward myself with a good rest after the 25th....

Have a great week ahead!!!!!!! : )

regards,
Sherry
