i am still blogging cause i love writing.
i just watched DISTRICT9 & i love its gritty style & i like the plot. i also like its portrayal of the Aliens stranded in Earth.
i especially love the last few scenes cause it provided a lot of food for thoughts...
how can a fellow human being be more than willing to kill its own species?
how can a different species be more than willing to protect a human being who is more unlike than like them?
how did it happen that humans have less compassion for their own species compared to aliens?
how...? why...?

OCBC mightsaver ad aug 09
whenever i see the current OCBC Mightsaver Ad, i just feel irked and pissed off.
i feel that the message it is sending just kinda degrades the female populations. and it degrades them right from they are just kids. as seem through my twenty-something-years-old mind. (not sure about what the kids think though, would be interesting to find out.)
i get that the core message is to encourage kids to save much as possible.
but isnt it for a rainy day, as my teachers advocated during my primary sch days???
now, the kid want to save up his money so that he is deemed qualified and eligible enough to ask his female classmate out!? Gosh! will the female classmate turned up her nose if she knows that the kid is not a mighty saver & doesnt have one hundred dollars(or should it be million?) in his bank?
why do they equate desirability with money? as though all girls make friends with boys based on how much they saved...?
i prefer saving for a rainy day over saving for a member of the opposite sex just so that he/she is impressed.
that is just dumb and materialistic. & implying that girls will choose bread over money any time any day!

the feminist in me.

Good FoooOOood
we had been enjoying really good food for past working week! we went to Earle's Swensens to take advantage of the one-for-one promo lunch main course & it was very worth it. less than $50 for 4 of us. i guess the best part is that each main course comes with free flow salad bar. hence you are gauranteed to be full.
if you know me, i am not a person who lives on salad, but the greens are fresh & i esp like the mango chicken salad :) in fact, my other colleagues like it so much we went back again in 3 days.
it was our 2nd anniversay. so i think we are entitled to splurge... on food at least. we went to the PS cafe at dempsey. nice ambience. main course so-so but i do love the chocolate cake.
it is the first time i see fish n chip served up in a bowl...
i ordererd a brasied chicken pie which i cant finish. i like the mash potatoe texture but too bad that isnt much gravy...
And ... the desert! double chocolate cak with vanila ice cream. we were very very full. but we managed to stuff the cake inside us. hahahah. if you like moist, warm cake with rich chocolatey taste, this is a must try!:) very rich!!

too many calories in a day. =X
i think my bf is a poor thing, he doesnt deserve to be fat! or round! hahah. because his appetite is actually considered small for his size. hurhururhurhuhr. regardless. i still *heart* you.
he mentioned he MIGHT be outstationed. if so, i think it will be great! i will be praying you get this big break. i can only hope he will be outstationed in countries which i actually can afford (and look forward) to visit.

SLS D&D 2009
we are lucky that we choosen the first flight to KL and not the second. we are lucky that we chose to take the train and not the cab even though it's slightly more expensive per head.
because our colleagues from the second flight bumped into a demonstration when they were in the cab going to the hotel. jam there for quite a few hours & very innocently too. time was of essence and the plans they made to go shopping before the D&D was thrown upside down. the demonstration pretty much took up 90% of the original free time.
i woke up at 5.30 am to catch the 8am flight. Many thanks to ALEX SHIEH who help me print out the silkair confirmation slip. Many thanks to ALEX SHIEH for waking up at 6pm to pass me that. you are truly a good friend for keeps! :)
D&D was enjoyable. nothing to complain about... despite i had drawn a mini fridge in the sure win lucky draw. i mean, how am i supposed to go shopping with that in tow? lucky i got a colleague who help me to handcarry to Sg together on his earlier flight.
other colleagues won a tissot watch and a WII as well. how cool is that? lucky peeps!:) SLS ppl are quite lucky as a whole. i mean, in that whole D&D that is 140 of Msians and only 10 of us. there is 15 special lucky draw prize winners and 2 of them are from SLS! whats the probability of that happening?
tiger beer happens to be a free flow drink which none of us are interested in. =X the HR director was desperate of ppl to finish the barrel of beer he ordered.
D&D pics are at my facebook if anyone is keen to see. =D
after a good night sleep at Le Meridian, we were off to explore shopping malls again. hurhuhur. i am never tired of shopping. truly a shoppaholic.
i did my hair at a really good price. if i live in KL, i would probably be a regular with that salon. i am pretty satisfied with the results. jeap yip (my last visited salon) really really pales in comparision and i am left to search for a cheap and good salon which i can be loyal to.
even though work is not very stressful i wonder how come i feel tired so easily. i feel like i cant keep my eyes open. my eyes are reduce to tiny slits because my eyelids feel too heavy to open them.
Sucks!!!!!
there are many friends whom i yearn to catch up with. i really cant wait to see them again. sigh. it really feels like we forsaken each other in our busy lives... how many friends will i be left with at the end of the day?

mood:bouyant
hm, i am pleasantly surprised that they called me for a sec interview. i totally gave up any expectations cause they told me if i were to be shortlisted, i would receive a call on sat itself. i didnt & i thought it would be the end of story.
oh well. sometimes when one truly habour no expectations, things will turn out to be better. thing will work itself out.
ya. i am feeling this way. things will work itself out. things will right itself. i shouldnt fret. just go with the flow & be happy go lucky.
:)
i suddenly feel very patriotic. cause i am so proud of spore. maybe cause it nearing national day again. i am amazed and proud that construction projects i.e. shopping malls, spring up so often & frequent. they get constructed without anyone caring much so it feels like, all it takes is a weekend and TA DAH we get a new shopping mall to explore all over agin.
this is the way i feel towards ION. i've yet to finish exploring but i already think it definitely lift Orchard Road up a few notches in terms of the (shopping) places to visit in the world!

yet another 'no''
well, i have been to about 4 interviews with prospective employers now & i made the mark for none.
but its ok cause all involve hideous amt of traveling courtesy of my ulu home address. UGHHHHH. why am i disadvantaged BECAUSE of where i live?? why do i FEEL disadvantaged because of where i live???? prospective employers think that i live TOO FAR from the office. omg. i hate it. i wanna live in places like TPY, AMK, TBR... sux sux sux.
anyway. went to interview for product exec. i guess deep down my sixth sense know i cant make it. i was intimidated slightly by the interviewer who was pretty tough talking.
but still was pleasantly surprised when they DID call me. though its because they wanna offer me a position as account exec. jeex.
jeez. i didnt impress as a product/mktg exec but i left behind a impression that made them think i will be a good account person? Is it my amazing rapport building skills??? my pleasant disposition?
whatever. diasappointing. then i just stay in my current co, they wanna train me as account exec anyway & i am learning from the sales manager himself.
have decided to take a break from looking out for jobs. i think i am having crisis at work. sourcing premiums is a headache. so is making something that people will buy.

progress
i've already spend 1.5 years in this lovely company of mine. i think i no longer am a job hopper coz i am happy where i am.
i thought i grew a lot a lot too. time seem to past by very fast week after week and i feel tired regardless of how taxing (or not taxing) work is. i wonder why. maybe i am just getting old. i feel llike i experience too much compared to peers who are still schooling.
i had gone though my first appraisal here & given proper decent increment! its encouraging to see my boss n colleagues getting promotion coz this company believes in retaining talents and also taking action to show its appreciation.
this week seems extra short coz we did a fair amt of trade visiting... but still, i feel tired.
this month is the first time that i spend SOOooOOOO much just on stuff for myself! holiday, handphone, skincare, clothes, shoes, bags... everything add up to my MONTHLY salary!!!!!
& i am still shopping around for a pair of sneakers & cap.

concrete plans
here are some concrete plans worth sharing
1- my soft ins event is tomorrow, 4pm. less than 24 hours away but i am still here. if i need to rehearsal at least 3 times- i need about 2 hours. sigh...
2-D&D is early-aug. erm. not as exciting.i am not saying i cant wait. need i say more?
3- 5 day trip to taipei is in mid- aug. i cant wait. HOLIDAYYY. need i say more?
4- i "heart" pixon. even though its touchscreen and my SE contacts are all screwup and i cant be bothered to make everything consistent.
work is pretty fun and made up of loads of laughter. i laugh so much that i'm slightly worried that ppl cant take me seriously or may find me annoying. but if work isnt fun what's the point of working and going to work.
something miraculous to share- we hit our last financial year's targets despite the stupid bursting of economy!!!!!!!! very WOW. maybe it is due to trade overloading/overstocking instead of true sales... but really who can blame the sales dpt when they delivered good news like this?

drag me to hell
everytime for the past 3 saturdays, i had been trying to go to the night safari with bf. but it always had to rain on me... & when it rains, we will have to take a rain cheque. why is my luck so great?
our wet weather plan included catching a movie. DRAG ME TO HELL. i like! i like its blatant b-grade feel and the ridiculous special effects that just happen to be funny and gross. one doesnt need to care about the plot & should just enjoy being grossed out :)

i should be so lucky
we were like a production line, repacking those AP CAR products. we were fast & efficent because we had teamwork. so NO NEED OT! :)
after work, we drop by Change Alley to look at fashion boutiques but nothing caught our eyes. it was pure window shopping.
off to Cityhall to meet old colleague, E! who had a new hairstyle yet again. we were gossiping, bitching, window shopping and eating. the happiness of hanging with a gal pal.
i drop by Kate Spade. & i saw a tote which look pretty nice and the price was quite attractive. well, i think it was GSS pulling off its magic. cause i decided to buy a piece of overpriced canvas made expensive by a branding.
& when i walked out of the boutique, someone tapped me on the shoulder and said i was spotted paying with Mastercard!& hence I am rewarded with a $10 Dorothy Perkins gift card and I am also eligible for a lucky draw! wheeeeeeeee. very nice!
so... it turned out to be a one day promo & i was just being at the right place at the right time with a super broad dash of luck.
i entered the lucky draw and waited patiently for the draw... only to find out that i didnt win. like, duh. that's only the norm. we left the place, feeling lucky to be spotted at least. & then... i got a call from an unknown number & it turned out that i did win something afterall!!!!!!
not the grand prize but i guess some consolation thinggy which i will be picking up later!:)

end of fy
its the end of financial year and people are leaving yet again. leaving for better jobs at least in terms of salary. is the economy bad? apparently not. to certain ppl at least.
i am wondering, when will i get called up for a interview and later be informed that i am offered a job??
i thought i did well at the previous interview but then again, maybe i am not good enough and there is simply too many better people who can do better things. which is the truth i guess. then its kinda of demoralizing to realize that.
but my self confidence is still intact. no worries.
on a bright side, maybe my new colleagues will include a cute guy. maybe i will have motivation to put more makeup and let less makeup go to waste.... hahahaha. we all agree we need some eye candy in the ofit unanimously.

hate hate waiting
waiting is a simple process which tires me.
i dislike it. hate it. even tho i might know what i am waiting for ... it's still a pain in the ass. i just hate that time is slippin past ur fingers and yet, there is seemingly nothing you can do except to... well, wait. and wait.

love affair
well. its great to be young. its even better to be young and already know what you are working towards.
i love marketing. i just do. the moment i scored good grades for it back in polytechnic. hahahaha. now... it just feel like i duno what to do with myself professionally besides marketing and communications.
i am lucky to have a foot in fmcg & also to discover that i do love it sincerely and whole heartedly.
i love having to launch new product. liasing with suppliers. working with global team, no matter how shitty. developing creative visuals. coordinating point of sales materials. drafting press release. organise events. sourcing partners. (but i hate the cold-call-to-follow-up part). human relations with my internal departments and suppliers. media planning. ( i have no idea/experience abt the number game in mktg yet though)
"i hope to be a brand manager in 3 years."i kinda stunned myself with the ease and conviction that i spoken that with. did i really say that without thinking?

melaka & j.b.fun & food.
bf&friends planned a road trip to melaka to play paint ball so i tagged along. it was lotsa fun even though we lost our way a bit initially and had to wake up at 5am to get ready.
we played go-kart which i skidded off the track and got a lot of big ugly bruises to show for now, paintball which i was lousy at coz no stamina to run and shoot, and archery which i got no strength to pull the bloody arrow strong enough to shoot properly. gave up after 5 tries. and below is my fav pic of the day.
dear bf had to hold the bow steady for me to pull the string and even then, i dont have enough strength in my arm to do it. i suck. i know. he's so sweet. i know that too. haha.

after we are finished with the resort in melaka, we drove for another 3 hours to reach J.B for our dinner. which is the must-have- CHEAP & GOOD SEAFOOD. yum yum yum yum.
it was truly very enjoyable. better than i thought. not as bad as i feared. coz it was the first time that i hung out with his friends. & lucky they find my sense of humour acceptable. hahahahahaha. & they are a bunch of nice & easy going ppl too.
& just now, we went deliberately to bukit merah to eat the claypot laksa only to discover that the stall close at 3.30 pm promptly. omg. its like they earn enough for a living in just 6 hours!!!!!!!!
looks like we have to go there again!
error= embarrassed of myself
i made a boo boo. & i feel so embarrassed of myself. coz i made the boo hoo not due to ignorance but plain carelessness & also cause i assume things and was lazy to check things out. & hence i reported wrong info to my bosses! DIES!!
very horrifying. i wish i can have a hole to hide my face.

fashion & car
credit to kelly giang for givin me the chance to see my first fashion/catwalk show. in the comfort of a air conditioned marque. dun need to squeeze. hurhurhur.
more memorable moments included the model with the super long veil which got blown off the catwalk by the air conditioned...
and the model who took off her shoes n walk barefoot halfway.
loved the shows by jimmy choo and coach.
witnessing catwalks really delivers the message that modeling is hard! shoes so high. shoes so loose. cant wear proper undergarments- i hate the idea of that! haha.

bf has been car crazy. it might be due to his work. or due to pressure from me. i hadnt brought him back home ever though we have been dating for a yr plus. because my parents reject a motorcyclist as a person whom their daughter dates.
happy for him. it's a big purchase! i am happy for myself cause i dun need to hear about cars and COE again ... so everyone is happy.

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.
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?
