Four Months Old

I start working as Brand Executive in Dutch Lady Team, Leo Burnett on May 26, 2008. Till now, it's more than four months already without realizing the time past. Another 2 months to go to finish my probation.

Although is kind of hectic working life I'm having now BUT seem like I keep telling everyone I LOVE MY JOB! This job is tiring, have to stay up late almost every single day, a lot of killing deadlines to meet, have to meet those "snoopy" requirements from sarcastic clients... OVERALL, I love it, haha :D I will complain at times, for sure, but this job is really challenging. I would just say I'm a lucky girl to get what I love. God loves me a lot :)

I never think of I'll be in this industry till now, I also can't believe I'm here. Sound silly?! Yea, it is. This is my first job, I'm a fresh graduate and I'm in LB. Surprisingly, LB rarely hire new blood, I mean fresh graduate. Thanks to my director for giving me this chance. Why I'm saying so?! Actually the interview I been called for is for P&G Team, she shared about Dutch Lady Team too. How I wish I'm part of Dutch Lady Team rather than P&G - this is what running in my mind during the conversation with her. The headcount she had for DL Team is Brand Manager but she is more than willing to give me a chance instead. She try her best to switch the manager headcount she had to executive. Actually they would prefer someone having experience so that they can on hand once on the job.

I'm a lucky girl *sweet smile* to have the opportunity to start my 1st job in this well known international advertising agency and the great part is, working with Leo Burnetters here is GREAT!

My life in LB is great! "GREAT" is one word I can describe about LB. I learned a lot a lot... more than you can imagine, is not just all about work but the surviving skills in this rat race. Haha! not that "rat race" comparing corporate, this is the great part bout LB. People here are great & niceeeeee.

The baby project I'm handling now is fabulous! Happy to work with the team. Again, they are great! Can't wait for the day, "the day of birth of my baby" - new launch of product. The upcoming project is great too. It is a regional job. I know my life will be more busier & hectic than now BUT I really can't wait for it too. Thanks God for giving me the opportunity to work on this regional job. Great challenges are ahead. A lot more for me to learn.

Yea, everything is kind of on track now. I will work hard for what I want!
