Are Your Presentations Powerful Or Pathetic? 4 Persuasive Presentation Preparation Tips
shoulder aches
09 February 2011
Pissed pissed pissed totally totally pissed off. Now I just want to go home and freaking hide under my blanket and sleep. Good bye world.
My fucking shoulder is aching since morning. I’m only 27 but I’m aching like a 60 year old with bad rheumatism. What’s wrong with you! *attempts communication with bad shoulders* Urgh.

delayed depression
for a moment there, i was amazed at myself for not getting into fits. i was amazed at myself for being entirely cool about a super long email that's packed with a fair amount of explosives that'll usually ignite me. i was amazed that i'm still feeling chirpy.
then i realised.. hours later, i started to dwell on it. eventually i started to visualise my imagination. then i started feeling indignation. then i started feeling crappy like it's the worst day ever and i just want to go home and sleep.
zzzzzzz......
my intention to recharge and restart my new year with more positive energy has gone back into hibernation.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
I spent (or rather, burnt) my weekend helping out at AFAX.
I don't mind having to work almost 12 hours each day, waking up before the sun is up and not being able to spend time with my husband BUT there were incidents that were undesirable and mostly irritating because of inconsiderate people.
However, I chose to retain the memories of only the good ones and soon, I'll forget about those unhappy moments.
I enjoyed meeting new people, working backstage, smiling and chatting earnestly with some of my fellow colleagues & the freelance production crews, seeing the artistes / famous cosplayers up-front, shaking the hands of Hironobu Kageyama of JAM Project, getting to listen to what Aniki has to say and hearing his earnest replies (which made me felt touched and teary for a very long time until I wanted to rush up and hug the old man), listening to JAM Project & Angela's concert & feel my adrenaline rush up to an ultimate high (saikou desu!), have Aniki grin at me (his mgr is very cute and his name is Ryohei), shaking hands & exchanging name cards with Danny Choo (actually this happened later in the office), Kaname-san giving me his printed cosplay card & wanting to give me a light stick during the concert, my playful elbow jabbing session with Angela + May'n's Japanese translator, Scandal's Japanese translator's surprised but kind compliment about my Japanese being good (when it sucked), getting to know first-hand that Kaname & Alodia are pretty humble and nice people, meeting my own friends there .... these memories are worth keeping.
So unhappy incidents aside, I've had rewarding moments and I guess it's enough.
I had fun. :)

加油，JC! | 遗憾 | 我累了
02 May 2010
因为突然工作上出了点状况得呆在家里解决，昨天没能到机场替JC送行。
这将是我刻在心里，一辈子也无法抹去的遗憾之一。
我不善于用言语表达。
越是对我重要的事，越是无法用言语以对。
只能默默的以行动上来呈现。
今年...我目送了JH，HG，JC 离开。
虽然依旧能保持联络，不过已不能像以前一样天天混在一起。
不能否认，这对我的工作心态有着很大的影响。
即使我天天很努力的鼓起勇气去迎接新的一天，但总是力不从心。
我企图以开朗乐观的心情去面对一切，但铁人也终于累了。
孤军作战很累。
好累。
昨天为了工作而烦，忙，慌... 我折腾了一整天。
从我被电话“吓醒”的那一刻，就一直在电脑面前忙。
手机片刻都没闲着。不停地麻烦到愿意（虽然很勉强）帮我的人们...
我内心很愧疚。虽然大伙儿都说不是我的错，我就是很习惯自责的一个人。
唯一庆幸的事，我并不是孤军作战。大家都很努力的一心想把事情解决好。
人总得往好处想不然我会疯掉。内心很感谢这群体贴的人。
我明白他人若愿意帮你，这并不是他们因该的，而是我的福分。
对于那些对我施与好意的人们，我得心藏感恩。
到了将近凌晨...终于一切都解决完了。终于...我也能够松口气了。
但我的身体出了状况。
因为紧张了一整天，身心没办法松懈下来。
我... 跟妈妈要了颗镇定剂。
阿威也因为见到我在同一个下午内经历了无数次的崩溃而感到心疼和不知所措。
因为内心很慌，我开始喃喃自语，发呆，冒冷汗，跟个疯婆子没两样。
这一面的我很脆弱所以不常展现出来。
为了让我找回好心情，我们去看了午夜场。
我们看了阿牛的《初恋红豆冰》。
这部片子意外的好看也很好笑。
虽然也有比较感伤的情节不过并不会让人感到不舒服。
我也情不自禁的笑了。
战战兢兢的一天就那么过了。
希望明天会更好。

prawn fishing
04 April 2010
went to Heidi's first mth bday celebration just now. managed to pass Ranna the present and was about to settle down to grab some food and the sms came.
lost my appetite after that.
went back to work after that even though it's a saturday.
found out what went wrong and settled it with SPTL. heng the supervisor on shift is a nice guy.
luckily both JC and gu are around to accompany me too.
it started raining when we were at Ranna's chalet so when we went to get our bike to go to my office, gu forgot to bring along my helmet (left at the chalet) so he had to walk back. i waited @ the shelter but he took 15 mins to go back n forth and by the time he returned, he was all drenched. nonetheless, he was still giving me his smiles and stood by me when i was feeling down. "through thick & thin", he said. my gu is still the best.
anyway, problem arose because of an unfortunate technical glitch, or so to speak. it was nobody's intention to have this happen although i wouldn't say it's a huge prob. but anyway, it got settled so that's that. didn't want to think about it anymore. so what if i got it sorted out? thankless job. sometimes i wonder why i put in so much effort. JC ask me not to blame myself cos not my fault/problem but i can't help it. i always blame myself first whether or not it's my prob.
anyway,
then i went prawn fishing with my colleagues; Kerry & James, JC & Chai Yee, & my gu. James' friend (forgot the name) joined us later. it's my first time trying out prawn fishing and we went to this rather ulu place in pasir ris but surprisingly (to me la), there's quite a lot of people. it's pretty relaxing to fish for prawns cos ur mind is solely focused on the yellow float which tells me whether i've got a prawn on my line. caught 2 big ones and one female one. then... got played by the same prawn 5 times. stupid thing bit my bait several times but escaped each time. SHIT. it's fun because of the crowd i'm with and it's fun to watch people getting excited with their catch. James' friend is pretty enthu too. came with a box of fish hooks and stuff. he could've been our audio guy if not because of his "over-experience" which is kinda ironic. he gave me some advice but still... the prawns are getting away from me!!! RARRR!! he managed to catch one after he took over my fishing rod lah.
waaaaait & wait & wait...
-horz.jpg)
finally!!
this night activity took a load off my mind and my attention was all on the prawns.
we left at about 2+AM in the morning. fished for 2.5hrs (or a little more).
was nearly sabo-ed to bring back the prawns but heng we didn't if not my mom will fry me.
anyway, it's fun. wouldn't mind go prawn fishing again next time. :)
lionel is online (facebook) while i'm writing this entry. we're now sharing our "prawn fishing" experience. it'll be fun to hang out with my cousins to fish for prawns too. he 'onz' me liao but duno when it'll happen cos we all don't have car. =_=" hah.

we were invited to gu's HR SVP's hse along with the rest of gu's colleagues from Discovery. her hse is HUGE! and she prepared a feast for us. we got lost a little while trying to find her house and it kinda dawns unto me how great the disparity between the rich, the middle-income grp, and the poor can be. just look at the houses! omg. i must admit for a moment there, it did inspire me to wanna just push myself to a point in my career where i could perhaps...one fine day afford all these...but then, that thought kinda float away real soon thereafter lol.

my lovely colleagues crowded around my desk and gave me one of the best presents i've ever received. XD
I've been warned that something's coming my way altho i have no clue what it was and today was the day to reveal the mysterious package they've gotten for me.
wrapped inside a isetan paper bag was this queer looking pink box.
in fact, when i took it out i was still pretty clueless what it was.
i thought perhaps it was some figurine.
there was this picture on the box so i was 50% sure it's some sort of figurine UNTIL i turned it to the other side and found the word 'fragrance' lol.
so it's a perfume!
and it's the strangest looking thing ever!
what i was later informed, was that this is a line of perfume launched by Gwen Stefani with her Harajuku back up dancers and my figurine was one of the back up dancers with hair like grapes and i thought it looked like 'da chang jing' (jewel in the palace). lolx
but the cuteness of it all grows on me and the more i look at it the more i like it.
the perfume smells like baby powder. i like. haha better than flower scent.
here's a peek at how the whole set would look. =D
Image Source: Layers of Meaning
it fits nicely with my collection. lol
but i placed it there for the photo shoot only.
not as if i'll really leave it there!!!
later give ppl use until no more!
