Its always been a long time since I last update my blog. Basically, I have nothing much to brag or blow you over with. Its always the usual complains. WORK.
Since the last entry, I am with my second job now. Working in a Multi-National JAPANESE company has indeed broden me. Let me clarify, broden the amount of procedures, paper work and approval parties involved.
Since production days, I have been bull-dozing everything down with whatever I need to do. Even with my previous company, I just need to bull-doze together with my boss. Now, even when I want to dispose a pen, I need to write it off officially and have it dispose the proper method. Ok, I am a tac exaggerating...
Let me just run through the recent jobs so far... I am missing my production days. Its tough days when you do not even know the day of the week, but its been the most exciting job to hold. The glamerous yet unglam of them all. I miss the times on the roof top when one of my PAs almost got blown off by the wind, everybody panic and started to run to keep everything and everybody safe. Or the time when I was a tac away from being knocked down by a car and yet the barger can come out of the car scolding me. Or even scoop myself down to pour coffee for the director and the "stars"... priceless experience, humbling period...
Working as Marketing Exec in this local private school was a hell... well, at least when I was still there. Looking back, the place has actually been a training ground for me... working like nobody's business and getting scolded for the most unneccesary matter and constantly getting nagged at... LIFE... Although nothing was taught about marketing in the true essence, I learnt some of life's most sort after answers... Finally learn the essence of self-motivation... Thanks Bernard...
With my new job, even the agency which hunt me down ask me am I ready for a "down-grade". Currently, I am only holding asst executive position... After meeting up with the ppl with my current company, I am eager to start work immediately... its like a dream job of sort... managing a digital workshop, I have the chance to work with all the cameras and videocams which is totally what i have always wanted... picked up the offer without even negotiating the pay... just shy of a month in my new job, my boss transfered to another dept while I also got transfered out of the dept... still in constant contact with my ex-boss, I keep him updated about the happenings of whatever I am doing and the "new" direction of my current boss. We agreed that the "new" direction will not work, but anyway, I am not even an executive to start off with, so, no say... (as of now)... not entirely convience of the new directions, but anyway, I will push thru... hoping this will be the gate to a better future... I want the hectic life back...
Talking about hectic life, I was talking to a classmate of mine, we agreed that we are never contented... when we have a tough job, we complain about the job demanding too much, when we have a slack job, we complain about not challegenging... LIFE..
It has been more than 7 months since we came back from US... I am still missing the life there... was talking to my ex-boss about USA recently after seeing all my desktop photos of USA... And yes, I only have the US photos on my webshots in office... instantly, it spark loads of memories... labelling it "time of my life" would be an understatment... Its my reality in denial... the perfect world fall flat in the face of reality... I am weak, period...
I painted a picture with the sun and the sea, birds floating up in the skies, fishes happy deep in the sea. Flowers bloom with the loving warmth in the sun, lushful greens fill the canvas. What a wonderful thing a brush can do, all in the backyard of reality. Welcome back to reality.

Its been a long time since I updated my blog with a proper entry.
Just accepted a job offer this afternoon as a Marketing Executive with EASB. Was skeptical but decided to go head on to find out if my skepticism prove to be wrong. Though not the ideal job i had in mind, which one by one rejected me, I am sure I will be able to make the best out of it and gain some valuable experience.
Its seems like some of my classmates has been spilled out into the work force while others is still trying out their luck. Indeed, luck plays an extremely important part in job seeking esp the fresh grads from the so call private schools. The brand name of local universities seems to work well with employers while "private students" seems to have to work that extra mile to secure an employment.
Caught Army daze with my princesses, princes and queen. Saw the movie donkey years ago but I was a great refreshment. When I watched the movie, it was before my NS days. Now, it has a very different meaning altogether. Its true sometimes when a person is put through some things, they have a whole new different perspective on the same issue.
Its been a busy weekend with all my dong cheng stuffs and it will be another busy weekend next week while west coast cc prepares for a exhibition display featuring various troupes.
Disappointment soar to new heights, while encouragements took a dive. Priorities set in well with them. I saw a light coming, its time to react.
Timmy Thomas shouted how he was dying inside, but I really want to hold you. You Hong Ming told a tale of 2 relation, oh so dear to me...

Looking at my feet tingling, my eyes brought me to as far as I can see, yet nothing I saw, a leap to nowhere had crossed my mind. guilt mears restricted my movements, choices decided but not made. how long should I wait, how far will acceptance be.

Artist :Vitamin C Title :Graduation
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives Where we're gonna be when we turn 25 I keep thinking times will never change Keep on thinking things will always be the same But when we leave this year we won't be coming back No more hanging out cause we're on a different track And if you got something that you need to say You better say it right now cause you don't have another day Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down These memories are playing like a film without sound And I keep thinking of that night in June I didn't know much of love But it came too soon And there was me and you And then we got real cool Stay at home talking on the telephone with me We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair And this is how it feels
As we go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives change Come whatever We will still be Friends Forever
So if we get the big jobs And we make the big money When we look back now Will our jokes still be funny? Will we still remember everything we learned in school? Still be trying to break every single rule Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man? Can we ever find a job that won't interfere with a tan? I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye Keep on thinking it's a time to fly And this is how it feels
As we go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives change Come whatever We will still be Friends Forever
We will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now? Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow? I guess I thought that this would never end And suddenly it's like we're women and men Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round? Will these memories fade when I leave this town I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
As we go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives change Come whatever We will still be Friends Forever

Its been about 2 weeks since I came back from the States. I am still missing the life there. Fantasy has been slap back into reality. I figure its about time to make a record of my travel tale.
Its been a pleasure travelling with 5 gorgeous babes. Places like Disneyland, Universal Studios, New York New York, and Marilyn's bed are memories that will stay with me for a long long time.
We had lots of hilarious moments and everybody has their fair share of unglam moments. A lot of time were spent on the road. The longest being a 30++ hours from Oklahoma to Vegas.
Took some photos, not as much as I thought I will though. Now, its killing me cause I have to edit the photos due to some dirt on my ccd.
Vegas: Overall, this place is a disappointment. The biggest boo boo is that I did not manage to place any bet on any table!!! I am there at the world's casino and I did not gamble, despite pulling the jackpot a few times. Its not the safest of place but you do see police almost everywhere. The Strip of casino is very beautiful. However, you can see the distinct difference just a street away. And MGM is green in colour, eeks...
We took a coaster ride at New York New York which has a 84feet drop and the highest point is 100++ feet. Its one of the best coaster I have taken so far.
San Francisco: This is the romantic city that I would love to be in. Everything is either uphill or downslope. There was lots of walking up and down hills and slopes. The cable car is a darling. Spent most of the time at the place just looking at the city and how romantic it is.
L.A: Hollywood is another disappointment. Since I have been in the media line, I know nothing in it is glam, but hollywood seems so run-down compared to San Fran. The consolation was Disneyland and Universal Studio. We were behave like kids let lose by their parents.

A slap by reality hit hard on my face, Steve B blasting his love because of open doors, Christina Aguilera is so beautiful that words can bring her down.
Joy I have a bundle, Bundle of it I had, The innocence laughter stay fresh within.
OKC taught me a lesson, bring me lots of joy, ends me in guilt and lost.
