exams & sydney

I have 2 more exam papers to sit and 2 more weeks to live on campus. If everything goes well and hopefully all goes well, then i'm off for good. Back to Malaysia, back to my normal 20 sticks per day of Marlboro and back to where i left things off. Last Friday's exam paper was a tough cookie. Brand Building. I answered two essays instead of three. There goes to my 4 nights effort of reading plus comprehending Keller and Buddle's notes. Particular and most-paid-attention-to chapters were absent from the 5 page exam paper. I memorised the Power Grid, the long Brand Value Chain, the CBBE Pyramid, 7 deadly sins of Brand Management and more but yeah~ they were bunch of no show-ers. I did manage to answer two essays tho'. One is on brand positioning, which i depicted Benetton's positioning in the q, where i blatantly assumed on the 4 steps of positioning, and the other one is on brand extension, where Disney, Milo and Pantene were some examples i pointed out. Dua per tiga. Dissapointed but heck, let bygones be bygones yea.

Let me stress out on my two upcoming papers mmmkay. No conscience space of mine is vacant to worry on the past. The last paper is on the 15th. *Joy*. Results will be out on the 24th. *Dang!*. There goes my stay in Sydney. Anxious and uncertain thoughts will try to sweat my palms and deter my sanity. *Drama drama drama*. Hopefully all goes well. Insyaallah.

Wishing all the best to those who are having their share of exams this month
