IFF workshop

Was given the chance to attend a perfumery workshop @ IFF and it was an eye opener. Veryy interesting to learn about top, middle and bottom notes. cirtrus notes. floral notes. herbercous notes. etc etc.

we were separated into groups & asked to match a perfume based on the diffferent notes given &... we were the ones to match it best!! hurhurhuhr. i was pretty cocky/confident that our group will be able to do it... so i was glad that we did manage to come up with the best mix if not, i would feel worse for my cockiness. hururhurhur.

we won an elegantly designed USB thumb for our efforts.

i love workshops! ended earlier than a regular day too!

worries

my compulsive disorder is the act of worrying.

for example, the reason i cant sleep now is because i am worrying abt tomorrow. abt tmr's meeting. abt going thru the motions in life.

since i worry so much, i try not to think about the fact i worry too much. go with the flow as they say. just do what is needed.

í am irked by boss's comment. the passion comment AGAIN. so it has been 2 months down the road and nothing in me changed. well. i just try to do my best as a marketer in training. i want to do it well. but does it mean i have to be so "passionate" in what i am doing?

why does she make me feel wrong, that i do not or appear not to have passion? i feel mad that i feel i am wrong coz puh leeeze. how many ppl have passion in wht they do for a living in this big fat world? i mean, its great if you have it, but so wat if i dont??


gah!

on a totally diff note: Chong Pang Nasi Lemak's chicken wings R reallly very memorable! went there for dinner .... and it lingered in my mind right up till the moment i am awake the next day with a hungry stomache. it is the first thing that came to mind.

australia... finally.

we have booked the flight to Perth... !!!!!!!!! that's about 5 months earlier and i just hope Au $ doesnt go up higher.

we are bound to go a second Au city but we were not sure which yet. Gold Coast seems like a better destination... all the theme parks there are drool worthy... compared to Melbourne. but I practically made a promise to visit ahho there. i myself feel bad if i dont make my way if i have a choice... just hope there is another good airline deal so that i can go Mel as well.

i bumped into an ex-colleague from Pasta mania.& the first sentence was "you lost weight!!". erm. just how round did i use to be?? (cause i dont believe i was ever fat. hurhur). not that i am skinny now, coz 45kg sounds pretty normal what. anyway, i also cant believe that the ex-colleague & his bunch of friends made their way down to the KOUFU deliberately for lunch when there office is near queenstown... KOUFU is just.... bland.

it seems like i am not occupied enough during work. it seems like i always get these kind of dry period in my jobs. its very LOL coz i know kelly would love to be in my position... hence i am not complaining. it just that its scary coz i will be the first one to be kicked out, isnt it?
