The time of the year....end of 2008
It's the time of the year again to reflect on yourself again, what have you did for the past 365 days before the dawn of the new year... Time really flew in a blink of an eye... just like taking a deep breath... and it's already December!!!!
I have started in another new company for almost 3 month and it felt that I was with the company for years. The first two months past like a wind, before I knew it I have did an award ceremony for MOM which I can still remember clearly that my hand was trembling on the keyboard at the FOH during the award ceremony. Now I'm churning proposals day-in, day-out and manage to organise one of my very own event for NLB. I'm waiting anxiously for many more events that I have proposed... although I have lost many... but I believe one day I will be able to do a BIG event.
However, this job of mine starts to create a strain in my r/s... is not that he is not supportive but he don't see the reason why I work so hard at time till the point of breaking down... I don't really know why either at time.. but what I do know it gives me a "kick" out of it just to see my creation been executed and appreciated. And, working here have been wonderful as you are been appreciated and the colleagues have been very supportive for each other every time. We always have a joke around, "When in doubt/trouble, look for the GOD". The "GOD" is none other my BOSS. He is always there to "support" us and I found him a very smart businessman. He is someone that practice & preach the 7th effective habits that is believing in interdependet work environment rather than independent. We gone through lessons almost everyday where colleagues will share their experience or knowledge of different aspect of work so that we can learn from them. We sort of keep learning everyday... sometime is really a drag when you have to juggle the time between handing up your proposal & going to the lesson/meeting. That's one of the reason why my time in the company pass so fast everyday - I havent have time to take a breath to stone!~!~
I felt lucky that I have taken the step to leave the previous company I was with... the last I visited my ex colleague in the event I was suppose to work with... it din't come close to what I'm doing right now... and I believe my colleague were very stress trying to put the event up for the client... from the 3 months that I have left the company they only did TWO event for the B client and thats all.. what happen to all the promised concerts, conference, etc... I fear it's not going to last long... plus the recession is going to hit the shore hard, my company is already on the red alert to embrace the storm ahead but by the sound from my ex colleagues they are still aimless of the future.... before I left the company I thought I was not cut out for the event industry but the truth is I was not cut out in that complicated company politic. I was able to manage my client and excuate my event with ease and without any pressure from my management or fear that I might screw up anything. Not that my management don't know what I have did, my boss has access to all our emails and know what we say to our client. But the amount of respect and trust, may working for the company an ease and worth. Not forgetting the treats that our boss always give us during lunch and sometime party friday. But the strange thing is our turn over-rate for the past 3months are rather high.... need to be there long enough to find out the dark secrets!~!~
I realise that every company will have a funny character... the last one was my ex boss and this company has a sudo event manager which thinks he know everything. He is rather an exile in our company as everyone don't likes him. He usually very "broke" and sometime forgets to return poeple money when they help him gets his lunch. He usually gets on people nerve as he is very disorganise in his planning. But how "broke" can a person be, if I tell you he drove a lancer!~!~~ and had an expensive maintance girlfriend who is rich but he claims not spoilt by the parents? He is those kind of people who embrace the amercian culture, talks like one, and think like one - SELFISH!~! Sometime, I felt that he should be humble... he once told me that his gf's aunty have an apartment at a expensive place (forget where is it but from the sound of it, it's like some prestige place) and the gf's parent want their children to be independent despite been rich and will want her to move out of the house when she graduate. Been dote by the aunty, the aunty offer to lend the place to his gf and the gf wish that he can move in with her. He told me that it requires like $2k to rent the place... unless he is earning LOT LOT more than I do, I serious think he is crazy to move out from his home to stay with his gf!~!~ The last event that we had with him, ended with my colleague very pissed with his client and him. I tell you its also one of the terrible 3hrs that I have encountered so far. Enough of the "weirdo" of my company.
2008 is also the year of many happy occassions- Bee got married and now had a beautiful baby girl. Kx settle down and start a new family with F, AL's baby boy has finally arrive to this world, one of my ex collague, J's baby girl is arriving soon next year, and one of my friend just got married a few days ago... So many wedding bells, so many babies around. It's very hard not to think that I'm actually getting OLD!~!~!~! 1 more stop to the number 3 and before I knew it I'm going turn 30 in 2 more years to go.... Sometime when I think about it, it's kind of scary. I still remember vaguely when I'm much younger, we talk about getting married, wanting to settle down at 27 and have babies, etc now I'm 29 I think everything can wait till much later.. and I think when I reach my 30s, prehaps what I want is a space that I call my own....
I also find that there is distance between my friends... I missed the days I had with U and Kx having a glass of wine on our hand... and I have not heard from my production group friends for a month... with everyone busy with their projects... I wish to reconnect back with them althought it's going to be hard to meet up with KS but at least I should make an afford to date U out to continue our wine indulge... I find it very relax and calming after a drink or two.
I'm looking forward to the getaway with SJ... I find it a must once in awhile to getaway from everything - just to soak youself in the pool, reading a book in your hand under the sun to really reflect what you have done for the past 12 months. Make your own self reflection, note down your new year resolutions and focus your strength for the upcoming year. It's a pit-stop that I always like to have to clear my thoughts and find back my strength... and reconnect back to the detech self....
