Yay! I'm officially employed!
So damn freaking HAPPY!!!
A good start for the NEW YEAR!!
Whoo~~ I shall skip the misfortune that happened this mrng =X

Anyways...

The HR person told me it's not a permanent job..
I will be freelancing for them for 6mths, afterwhich, they'll convert me to full time if I am good enough. But I think chances are they will cos my department only comprises of 2 people~~ :O Yes, 2 PEOPLE. It'll only be me and my boss :P of course, there's good and bad. The good thing is, with minimal ppl along the communication channel, things get done faster.. In the sense that there's minimal obstacles. The bad thing is, since there're only 2 of us, one of us is bound to be swarmed with work. And I can foresee that it'll be me.. :P Plus we'll be working with India.. we're 2.5 hrs ahead of them :O

But whatever it is, I shall not be complacent. I mean, no one in this world is indispensable.. では, これから頑張れます！！

2 of us.. I was pretty amazed actually.. He told me tht in Malaysia and India, the interactive dept consists of at least 150 staff !! :O Singapore, wad are you doing?! Make use of technology!!

I spent several days researching on Interactive media since I totally have no experience in that area (unless u consider the brief I wrote for APB's leaderboard during my internship days an experience. But it was like wad? a 10 mins exp? :O). I was so afraid that the interviewer would ask me stuff on those interactive stuff, but phew~ I later find out that the department that I will be working in is like a jack-of-all trade - TV, print, interactive, but mostly BTL.

The HR person asked me when I could start work. And me, giving the standard answer received a shock. I'm asked to start TMR!! :O
Cos the current freelancer is leaving on the 23rd. I guess the reason why I'm getting this job is also because they (desperately) need someone to take her place. It's ok. Whatever the reason is... It's GREY!! I'm more than glad!

Oh, another important thing.. I also have to thank my friends for recommendations and encouragements here and there. So to Jess, Serene and Joyce, if you're reading this... Thank you!! <3 Jess, thanks for the interactive tutorial! :)

I wonder what is wrong with me..
1 injury always does not seem to be enough..
Maybe my body is self-abusive?

Having scraped off my skin on my right knee on Friday,
I injured my left knee 3 times, ON THE SAME BLOODY SPOT, on Saturday..
Did I mention that I bruised my left knuckle on Thursday?

Sigh..

Now my knees hurt when I walk, so soreeeeeee
I feel like an old lady.

Somebody, give me my own bubble already!

A tradition that we have been following for the past few years.
I love traditions, i love revisiting the same ol'feelings with the same ol'people.

2006, 2007.. 2009 :)
We had crazy kickass k-boxing in 2006, then 2007 we opted for a milder pasta dinner.
2008 the guys celebrated w/o me, and now, 2009! 
Same old, same old.

It was pre-celebrated x'mas dinner.
With all of us working now, it's hard to find a common day/time to meet up and do it like we used to do in the past. But i'm glad we all made the effort nonetheless ;) And all the crazy xmas present shopping we did the day before. Haha. Quite hilarious if you ask me :P

 And with all us working now, we had a wee bit bigger budget to spend at Kazu :p

Kickstarted the day with pre-drinks at.. starbucks :D
What did you think it was? Cocktails? NO! PEPP MOCHA IS LOVE!
I'll weep a river when the x'mas drinks are taken off the menu in starbucks.


Hot chocolate - Green tea frapp - Pepp mocha standing tall!


( Photos & such.. :D )


I love my quads!
 
 

You know Christmas is round the corner...
When you see the tree at home getting filled up each passing day..

I just got home from my fab dinner with the darlings, and lo'behold!
I got a shock at the amount of presents cozying under the tree! 
Hahaha. And of course, i have photos to share! 
Of the nephew's hand-made ornaments :p
They stick out amidst the glitz, ribbons & beautiful ornaments we have on the tree ;)
I love personalized trees, and how he left his own "personal" touch to it.
You should have heard him go "WAHHHHHH" when we lighted up the tree before him.

It's so easy to satisfy kids, isn't it? To make them happy and excited.

Spread the festive cheer! I braved the crowds to grab all the presents and i'm done!
When you're working.. it's a lot tougher to find time to finish the x'mas shopping.



Hail the shopping queen! :D
December is the unofficial month to be broke, so broke.

I'm going to bed now, not setting an alarm for the weekend.
ITS BEEN TOO LONG SINCE I'VE HAD UNDISTURBED REST.
And rest, i need.

Goodnight people.
I'm tired and sniffling away. I hope i don't fall ill now -_-
My sunday's burnt thanks to work again.
Oh, the joys working life bring.
Well at least i'll be at the airport, will grab popeye's while i can ;)

*sniffles and scuttles to bed*
