it's called time management people!!!!

i'm pissed. i'm damn pissed.

i seriously think that those people spell deadline as DATELINE and not DEADLINE. there's a reason why it is spelt DEADLINE and not DATELINE.

what pisses me off more is the fact that they are always asking me for deadline so that they can work backwards and plan their time... and every single time, the deadline cannot be met. i can understand sometimes why the deadline cannot be met, and i will try my best to postpone the deadline, but i appreciate it if someone were to tell me that they need more time and they cannot meet the deadline given. and not conveniently assume that the deadline can be postponed.

argh!

It's Friday...

... instead of the usual excitement expressed by all of us at work, the mood today is solemn. a few of us knew that a war was coming our way... but until then, we all remained calm.

just before lunch, the bomb was launched. hence, this is the start of the war between the creative team and the rest of the agency... mainly the PR team.

it saddens me that within such a small family, a war has to be declared. it all started because of greed, ego and insecurity.

until the general speaks of the next plan of action, we shall all wait patiently.

i was in bangkok (yes... again) last weekend. as usual, i spent all my money there... and came home totally broke.

1 pair of pants
2 skirts
3 bags
2 pair of shoes
6 pair of earrings
3 bangles
2 brooches
2 hats

yay! i love my new purchases. no more shopping until chinese new year... i'm serious!

Going down memory lane...

my blog turns 1 year old this month.

going through my blog entries was like going down memory lane. so much has been captured in here and when i reflected back on them, i realized how much i've grown. frankly speaking, it was a year of adversity, both in my professional life and my personal life.

i recalled my days in mccanns. the frustrations i went through. how unhappy my life was when i was there. i also distinctively remember tendering in my resignation and how my bosses handled my resignation.

it was also the year when my 5.5 year relationship hit a dead-end. how i was living in denial for months until i accepted the truth as it is and the time i cried for weeks. but as time heals all wounds, i managed to pick myself up and go on with life. of course, there're also some amazing friends who helped me along the way.

i believe that my life did hit rock bottom last year. but when life hit rock bottom, there's no way out but up... i'm pretty happy with my life now. something that i've not felt in a long time.
