Word games are fun but dangerous too.
I think I got myself into unnecessary trouble :O
I get too carried away when someone knows how to hold a conversation quite well. :P
Next move...
Take a step back~

Was on the way to work ytd when Hwee called to say that I actually didnt need to go down..
Thought of U-turning back.. On second thoughts, decided to meet Sm since I havent seen her in a long long time..
We ended up catching a movie - paranormal activity, and ultimately, sat at Starbucks till 6am.. :O











Oh, and I just received news that I won't need to report to work today too~
I need a good slp~ Have been NOT been slpg well =X

It's finally Sunday.
One more week till my last day~~
Glad that I'm finally (really finally) over and done with ultra late nights...
But at the same time, I'll also miss the good ol' company :)


And some good (IMO) music for the week:


Crappy vid, but a rather catchy song..


This is addictive~~ :O

Back from the doc..
I've gotten myself an infected eye due to overexertion of my sight..
Too much concentration on the computer screen --> dry eyes --> vulnerable to germ, bacteria and what not..
Which leads me to...

Getting myself a 2 day MC.. Whee~~~ So damn happy.. cos this means I won't need to do the broadcast transcripts for ep 3!! (Or maybe I still need to but lesser pages :D) It's gonna be at least 50 fucking pages!! So now you know why I dread going to work? Anyways, 2 MORE WEEKS till I'm over and done with my attachment!!! PHEW~~~

Hwee asked me the other day if I'd want to extend my contract till Feb.. I gave her a straight ans "NO".. And I'm actually quite proud that I had the guts to tell her NO in the face. You see, the problem with me is, sometimes (ok, most of the time) I find it difficult to say "NO".. So instead of saying "NO", I'd say "Maybe".. and that "Maybe" would then translate to, Ok, I guess she's fine with it. Let's make it a deal then. And the next thing you know, I'd start complaining till the cows come home. :P So... that was how I was (still am at times) and I'm trying to change :)

I was updating my resume the other day and I realised that I really learnt a lot more when in advertising, really.
While I could go on and on writing what my skills accquired and roles were when I was in advertising, I could only name 4 things I learnt for these past 6 mths, i.e: digitize footage, sort footage for editors, logging and transcribbing and application of skills on hardware and software. -.-II Sometimes I look back at what I've been doing and I think, Man, I've wasted my time for 6 bloody months! But then again, I guess it's true that while you gain some, you also lose some (though I THINK I've lost more than what I've gained =X)

Also, there's this lady who's been pissing us (the other interns and me) off lately..
I appreciate her kind intentions but I guess she needs to be flexible, or rather, think abit more and open her eyes wider.
Almost a month ago, this lady had asked me to send her a copy of my resume. Me being the procrastinator obviously did not action on it right away. I sat on it for almost 2 weeks before she started calling me, asking me for it. Ok, I get your point. And so, I sent. 2 hrs after I sent it over to her, she called me up, telling me to go for an intv the NEXT day @ 11am. I told her I wasn't able to make it as I have been working night shifts.. She then asked me if she could schedule the intv on another day. I said yes, and guess what she said? "How about this Friday 10am?" I was like, Hello, which part of night shift do you not understand? I need slp!!. Ok, so i told her nicely that I might not be able to make it.. But she was bloody stubborn, she said, "Nvm lah, I'll tentatively out your name on the list ok?" ... By then I was like, Whatever..

Other incidents which the other interns encountered were like her calling them up 3 times a day just to ask for ans that can be found in their resumes.. Like, "When did you grad from ... ", "Why did you leave Starbucks?" (Obviously it was a part time job, my friend was what? 16 then? And I'm pretty sure resumes will state the nature of the job. So she should just open her eyes wider), etc..

Speaking of resumes, I've been sending quite a lot of them lately.. But none has given me a positive reply =X

On a separate note, I'll be going to town with my mum tmr~~ Whee~
Retail therapy !!

Also, time to make plans with PEOPLE~~ :P

Okaes, and now, time for some pic sharing..

The Chronicles of BLA...



5am in the morning, after we've had our breakfast.



Staring hard at the computer screen...



Then he's slacking again :P



Obviously he is. HAHA



And finally, GOING HOME~~ why the sians face :O

Finally got down to updating my resume (FINALLY, like after 2 months..) ~~
Will write my cover letter soon, maybe tonight.
Can't wait to send them out...
And if I'm lucky, I'll be scooting off to interviews soon~~ Yay  \(^^,)/
Yes, I'm anticipating this new "lease" of life because this time I really know what I want.

November is here~
Time to countdown!!        (^^,)v
No more graveyard shifts, no more waiting, no more lousy pay checks, no more eye bags, etc...
Welcome back social life, welcome back precious sleep, welcome back healthy lifestyle ~~~          v(^^,)V

A lot of drama and politics happened at work over the past 2 days..
I could go on talking about it... But then, it's a really long story.. So I'd rather not~~ :D
Anyway, a lil' bit of drama and politics here and there won't harm, will it? =P

</div>



BUMP BUMP ~Dance edit~
I like how the blur and jumpy effects worked out with her dance moves~~ ^^




This would make a good ad for Nike.. Who's with me? Heh.~~~

Back from my gym session~~~
It's been awhile since I perspired a bucket full of water~~~ :O
Boy,did feel good!! To have beads of water trickling down your forehead, and sliding down your chin~~~ :)
To make things even better, there wasn't any form of disturbance/harassment today~~~

I won't complain about work today...
In fact, I have decided to look at things in a different light.
As much as I have decided that I dislike production/post production, I've been taking things in my stride.. Learning and picking up as many things as possible in the post-pro industry (I'm actually quite a klutz when it comes to such technical stuff =X).. It'll then become "I quit not because I can't do it, but because I have a choice not to do it". I know, my ego's acting up again. =X

I need to cut down on suppers!!!
I'm been having supper every night.. without fail~ :O
I guess I'll just order tea from now on..
Yes, tea it'll be.. To keep me up all night!!
I must resist!!

Ok, back for more~~
Going to work soon!

I WANT TO GO HOMEEEE~~~~~
Yes, I'm still at work!!!!
I have been at work since ytd 9pm.. =X

I foresee 3/4 of my sat gone~~ =X
Weekends will never be the same again.

This seriously sucks BIG TIME.

By 30th Nov, I would have

- put on weight (cos of the suppers I have almost every night, and the lack of exercise due to exhaustion. Hah, maybe I'd be able to take part in Biggest Loser Asia Season 2 huh~)

- look like a panda due to the lack of sleep

- harmed my skin ( I am already having a breakout, again due to a lack of sleep =X)

Blah blah blah..

I know I complain a lot.. I can't help it~
