fireworks and firewire- august

happen to chance upon the fireworks last last week. this is my fav shot, purely unedited or photoshopped. thought it was thunder in the beginning... dumb me! was my first time hanging out with my boyfriend's clique. it was okay. quite fun:) goood things always dont last, just like fireworks.

saturday, maxine had a photoshoot with KK. maxine should part time as a model! lol. ahmed was there to make a making-of collage. i am there to juga bags.heehee. and to camwhore and take pictures.

yes, when u r a model, u can ask for a guy to help wear shoes and its perfectly logical. tho i thought maxine's a real pro for changing in those not very nice conditions.

while juga bags, its only natural to feel bored. i discovered my camera got a Vibrant mode, and the colors come out damm rich. nice!

our day didnt end at duxton hill. ended with Wall-E. i felt it has got a touching and a really unique storyline. i love eve too. haha.

sometimes i feel like a headless chicken @ work. what am i doing? do i know? sometimes i dont know. what if i dun get the deal? why is my global team even more disorganized than me, n not much of a help compared to other regular brand person? why i am not merticulous enough? i think its cause i am not kiasee/kaisuu enough. but lets minimize the negativity and enjoy the good/bad things in life.

been shopping a lot at this fashion. i used to reject shopping at this fashion but i totally change my thinking, seeing the clothes my mgrs wear from TF and they look as nice as anything from a bysi shop. anyway, i really like their pencil/office skirts! just want to share with u girls coz nice fitting skirts are hard to come by... esp for pear shaped asian gals!!!!

teething problems

depressed.

i am having loads of teething problems now that i officially caught onto the Real workload. my boss is quick to encourage me, telling me not to let things affect me. but after the high of finishing exams, its back to the low of screwing presentations and doing/saying things clumsily.

oh well. i hope they can laugh it off. i would say the learning curve is damm steep and accelerated for me.

anyway. here is a few things, important things i lack and am cultivating
1. analytical skillls.
2. sense of urgency

sense of urgency sounds very DEJA VU. my exboss says the same thing abt me the last time! dont let history repeat itself!!!

got quite pissed off with bf, coz i feel he doesnt know how to encourgae/motivate and simply make me feel better when i am sad and depressed and feeling shitty. dammm.

after sem3

i love saturdays.

saturday was the day after the dreadful sem 3. saturday was the day i went to have som fun in SUCH A LONG LONG BLOODY time.

finally managed to hangout with my best all time girlfriend. i couldnt tell she had rebonded her hair. lol. her hair was fine n straight to begin with anyway. its a complete waste of money to spend on rebonding! better to have the one hundred extra dollar when u r indulging life in hk with ur bf! heehee. *i am almost green with envy!

we went to the Jovian's one year old birthday bash. a voiddeck party!

think his parents have great friendship building skills. so many sisters n brothers, uncles n aunties gathered together just for him. hahaha.

i spend a great day with bf today. just walkin in the shoppin mall buyin random things... like a SAVINGS PLAN!!!???

its time to be managing finanical wealth peeps! esp if u got a permanent job which you dun want to screw up. i better make sure while i spend, i have saved too.

here's to a bright future!*cheers!:)

lookin foward to the day i look forward to work

everyday i make the same annoucement to my bf that I DONT WANT TO GO TO WORK.

actually my mgrs feel this way too. we all prefer to stay at home. hahahahah.

i really like my job as brand executive. i really can put my knowledge to use... i am so lucky! as i said for the umpteenth's time- i just need to prove them right.

anyway, the last day of my assist mgr came n went. it was a teary goodbye for her, havin spent 1.5 years at SLS. if i had spent more time working under her, think i would have sobbed too.

what should i reflect upon this week?

my biggest flaw- inconsistency.

i am dogged by this flaw since the day i started work at hella. *hah* i am just too heck abt the details. i will be working on this. its easier than improving on IQ...

Genting n KL

July
it was a happy trip to Genting. overall. coz i did have a silent argument with BF which kinda just melts away and everything is over before i can yell at him and be angry. cool. so i will just kinda embarrass him by lettin every1 know what funny things he did.


not many. bt funny! like, using a too-short ear phone for his TV screen in the coach.

went for fish spa. it was dammmmmmmmm ticklish but effective. my feet's dead skin was food for the many many fishie. the more effective it was, i .e the larger the no of fish biting ur dead skin away, the more ticklish it was. a conflicting 10 mins of fish "spa".

i duno to be happy it was effective or tortured coz of the squirming/tickish feeling i had to endure... i like this pic at the theme park. coz of the hoodie jacket. hahahahahahahahaha.

August
this month is to KL for companyy dinner which i "fought" for the chance to go coz it clashed with my PR exam. i took exam early to go KL..... worth it. dearest BF brought me to airport n have brunch with me. and to say goodbye to me...:C

flight was bumpy, i had the great luck to be seated next to GM. erm, the journey to hotel was relatively fast though checkin was horribly slow. our view outta the room, was not-bad.

after the slow checkin, we were only left with 1h to shop. it was like AMAZING RACE. it was stupid and funny and i didnt buy much. luckily.

we sprinted back to hotel coz we were warned not to treat dnd like a chinese wedding dinner. anyway, we were late in the end. mi and my senior brand manager (SGM), were into overdrive trying to fix up our hawaiian outfit.

we were cutting our grass skirt to make it shorter, tying the lei to make it nice, tying the hair for it be prettier. putting makeup. being all dolled up.

the marketing team in SLS: with my SMB and assit mgr for ambi pur.

think my superiors all have good genes and are good looking people. this pic is to show off the fake tattoo.

D&D was quite a pleasant experience. i got jusco vch which i spent away already. the food is so-so. we mingled and i was introduced to loads of great people whom i will be working with. we danced in a clubbing atmosphere after the d&d. (and you imagine dancing in a grass skirt to the rythem of trance music??)

we had beer and white wine all in the same night. i just want to sleep!!!!!!! i dont llike the taste of alcohol. this is something i will have to be used to.

sunday is the last day in KL and we made a mad dash at Sunway Prymid. picked up a nike jacket, a mng bag and diva earring. not bad a loot i would say in a span if 90 mins.

this d&d made me appreciate my colleagues even more. they r such great, jolly, helpful people!!!

bf went to pick me up:)) and then he indulge in getting me a big mikey mouse to hug to sleep in lieu of him! ^hearts^ him!!

melange

i made a big fuss abt not wanting to go d&d.

this after i made a big fuss about dying to go d&d.

the grass is always greener on the other side?

a melange of conflicts notions swirlings in me.

life has been so hectic that we didnt celebrate our first anniversay! can you imagine.... god! i never thought both of us can forget FIRST YEAR anniversary and be so bo-chap about it.

i see my friend trying so hard to get into marketing. i wonder about life. really, how do you beg life just to give u a change to try something you want badly? not like, we are at our internship period, where we can CHOOSE where to intern at. now we are other people's mercy to be CHOSEN. i sometimes think it really is all written in the stars!!!!!!!

i saw another friend's nic at MSN. it was "happy with this life". i am glad all/most of us feel this way. its the start of a new month and there is a lot to be count my blessings for. i know the grass is NOT always greener on the other side.

my objective before june, is to prove myself capable in my workscope.

if not...
