I like waking up at 9am, turn on lappy and eat breaky whilst waiting for it to warm up, sitting in my room in my casual clothes, reading work emails and preparing my presentation deck.ahhh i could get used to this.
big bubble above my head with the words "Freelance"
nah... *takes a toothpick and pokes at it*
It's no fun being stuck in between 2 big new biz pitches. hmmm why us? Guess we have taken it in our stride. Looking on the positive side, its good experience. Just that timing is bad, with all the festivities going on, totally does not put us in the mood for pitching. Getting the creative engine to start is bad enough, now to toggle between 2 big brands just makes it more difficult.
Wanting to give both pitches our best, we hang in there.... actually feel kinda bad that he is doing more work than i am :P Still not used to the working style? or just that its a very different approach from the other. regardless, still very pai seh... all i can do is to hang in there with him and put in my best.
Can't wait for 7th Jan to be here!!
On the other hand, X'mas went past in a flash. checking around it seems tha most ppl is hving a quiet X'mas this year. Spent 2 days taking walks at nature reserve with PH, Sab and Russell (the dog haha). Got a kick out of saying "sit russ, come here russ" haha okay cheap thrill :P. It was nice basking and soaking in nature. I am still a nature gal at heart, very good break to be away from technology (erm except for handphone camera), city buzz and overcrowded streets. It was a relaxing walk and managed to do little jog spurts with Russell, the overdued exercise that i need. Piccies of the walks are up on my facebook :)
First year being involved in the Chinese Ministry evangelistic outreach, a very different experience from the English one. As i thank Him for the gifts that the Lord has given me, it was my way of honoring Him with it as well. Was truly happy and blessed that i was a blessing to this ministry.
Did minor X'mas shopping this year, but still managed to bless the ones that are really close to my heart. Missing the ones that i cld not meet up during this festive season coz of the work commitments... will try to make up for it after the BIG DAY! To the one overseas, i hope you are hving a great holiday :) Blessed X'mas my dear.

Tdy i totally lost it at work... not sure if it is the stress of the big pitches coming up + 2 days of crisis management. To add on, it does not help to hear management saying: He has alot on his plate. I cld not react to that statement. Honestly, we all do.Being named as the "Dream Team" certainly does not help the situation. How do we manage your expectations then? Are we benchmarked against a 100% hit rate, especially if it is a media lead one? I really do not want to go there. By any normal circumstances, it would be a leverage, but am not so sure how useful it wld be for me now.
Lost it not in the sense of breaking down. Lost it in the sense of aggression; a source of letting it out. It's been 2 years and if you have not noticed, i take the soft approach. Smehow, i was already irritated by your actions, and if you could not take my no for a NO, then face the consequences. Yes i fought bk. Warning signs have been given, but you insisted on stuffing your shoes in my face. You certainly asked for it. Whilst the other gals will just whine and push you again, all the accumulated irritation just did not want to stay in.
Surprisingly, her solution when she saw the initial signs of me going berserk was "let's have wine" *roll eyes* erm, right that wld resolve all the issues. It seems this attempt was futile as i ignored the request, and no wine was served.
Does not help that i have been bugged by a temp who is senior than me, hving more years in the industry, and was suppose to help out in the pitch. But i am more often, harassed by her for discussions/meetings which seems to be a waste of time as there is not much progression on her end.
Am truly dreading work tomorrow. Which is part of the reason why i am still awake at this time. This wk went past in a flash, not good coz it only means that the deadlines are drawing nearer. Am totally not in the mood for x'mas celebration, with all these happening. The only thing that is keeping sane for this x'mas is serving You.
Thank God a destress session is in place. K session is CONFIRMED on Sat with the melb gals + 1 male mic hogger haha

It's been a while since i have blogged... so many things have happened... too lazy to blog all of it coz i have been addicted to Facebook platform to provide my updates. To much to be updating on both ends. So a bullet list of updates:- Was down with shingles the week before and spent my time working from home. Yes, i was on MC, but to certain management it seems that MC does not mean you stop working. Oh well, some things that we have to live with on top of the disparity.
- Tried to spend as much time with the jet setter who returned for a 2 week holiday. One dinner date + one night outing was all we managed to squeeze in, but it was fun never the less :)
- Packed weekends and sleeping at the wrong time of the day.
- Doing more driving. Successfully bugged R2 into letting me drive his car *yeah*
- Got myself a "bf"... all for fun sake. No, am not in a relationship if tha's what you are about to ask. But just staking the title upon a friend/working partner... afterall, it's an exchange program between the 2 companies. We seem to be a losing end coz my "bf" is always not turning up for the gatherings! humph! They got the better deal out of this exchange program haha
- Gosh, we have been using this word for the longest time but i have not blogged about it. The buzz word in the office is : 自High
Hilarious! Have a merry x'mas *with Indian accent + head shaking*
about
Settling down once again in the buzzing city of Spore...yet hoping not to be affected by the "busy" culture, hoping to maintain some stillness and quietness....more inspired to run after God's plan for her life... desiring to live a God-centered life
This is me - eve
