i miss popo :(

popo is sick. she is admitted to hospital & diagnosed having a tumor in her intestine :(

i just called her day before she admitted to hospital. she already not feeling well for about 2 weeks. when i talked to her, her voice was so weak but still she nagged me as usual, to eat my meals on time, becareful when i'm going home at late night ... asking me when i'm getting my car ...

mom is taking care of her at night. she called me this afternoon to check on me. yay, check on me, cause i wasn't feeling well since last thursday. popo is worry with me too though she is in hospital now *TOUCH*

omg i miss her so much!

trying to hold on my tears and called both my brothers to talk to them, they always got way to stop me from crying.

i have a very close relationship with my popo till my popo from dad side jealous. what to do. i stayed with her since i was 13 till i entered universities. i still remember how lovely she is ... she woke up very early every morning to prepare breakfast for me. i was very bad, i will sleep as much as i can, will only wake up when she walked up again and appeared in the doorstep (else i will continue to sleep, sleep and sleep). i was always last minute, rushing like hell so she will make sure my cereal/coffee/milk temperature is warm enough for me to drink immediately.

every night i will sure talk to her before sleep, any topics. haha! i still remember when i was in university, i miss her more than my mom :) she is a very strict person but i know what she did all for our own good. without her, i won't be one i am today. thank you so much popo! and i really love you.

*miss her miss her*

i want to go home but uncle said no need to go back. anyway, i will try to make a short trip back. cause i really miss her and just want to make sure i'm there to give her my support.

*pray pray pray* God bless popo!

today is 12th apr. yay, i know. i know it's not 1st apr but nobody said i can't trick one on 12 apr right? muahahaha!

hmmm... as promised, i will start writing on a seris of my life working in an advertising agency. and today is my 1st entry! see, i kept my promise, even though im super duper tired now. only slept for 2 hours plus last night & rushed for a shoot super early this morning and sacrify my bejeweled gaming time all just because to keep my promise. touch??? *sayang sayang* big girl/boy won't cry!

i was graduated in marketing but started my 1st job as brand executive in an advertising agency. why?? advertising is totally a @#$%^& to me and i have better offers at the same time. why?? why am i so stupid choosing to be in this industry? and i still remember i cried during my 1st week. im struggling like hell, everything is totally new to me, i have no idea on the process flow which is a must know if you are in the industry. after days of crying, i tell myself, okay im going to take it as a challenge, if really not work, im going to leave after one month. guess what, this coming 26th may will be my 2 years with Leo Burnett already. hehe!

choosing to be in this industry not because i'm stupid k! people in this industry are all great and talented k! ahaha! hmm... i chosen this industry simply because i love brand planning, the satisfaction seeing the brand you build in days and days time growing is unexplainable. i'm really lucky to be given the opportunity to work in Dutch Lady account, which i get to not only doing ATL (above-the-line, like TV commercials, radio commercials and print) but BTL (below-the-line, for e.g. interactive, in store, event, pr, crm, social media marketing and etc) as well, in a word, 360 of the marketing plan.

working in this industry, you really need to scarify your time, you will become ffk queen (fong fei kei, in cantonese) among your friends. but i believe in hardworks you putting in will be paid off. that's the energy to push me further. you just need to be in love with your work, else you will ended up complain and complain, and complain, but things still the same. guess everyone work till certain point of time, they will "collapsed" but for me, i think the recognitions i get for all my hardworks really help (like my baby yes doing so well, winning so many awards *proud of my baby yes*). haha! i'm type that really need recognition. everyone looking for different kind of return, you just need to find it, make sure you get it (show of achieving something), once you do it, magic happened!

photos shared earlier were actually taken during my today shoot. i do wish i own that 3 storeys bungalow and that prada paper bag was only for display purposes. hehe!

fun part working in agency is all about teamwork. i used to prefer to work individually when i was back in university time. since i working in Leo Burnett, i start to realize how important working in a team. everyday we meet different people, everyone with different characteristic, we communicate with different people, we talk to different people, that's all the fun i get working in advertising industry. apart of this, i think working environment really crucial, Leo Burnetters are fun and cool! There's no office politics, when work the art directors might treat you really strict but off work, wow, they are just like any other of us, and they are so genuine.



snapshot from today shoot


people in brand team will be more volatile comparing to creative people. we are always on the go, we will need to go out meet client, suppliers ... in short, different people everydays.

and not to forget, deadlines! hahaha! guess you guys will know that advertising industry is always about deadlines, deadlines, and deadlines! as a brand people, you will need to plan your timeline well so that you wouldn't be struggle with deadlines (easy to say but... well, you just need to manage it). that's the reason, you will become ffk queen among friends, last minute, material deadlines then your dates will just gone! haha!

seem stress? no worries, just to share with you guys some tips i used to release stress and balance up my stress level.

Tip #01
*love* zee avi. when im stress up, i will just keep playing her songs with my ipod touch while doing work or maybe early in the morning before leaving for work with speaker. jazz songs just lessen my tense and it is really important so that i can calm down and think properly. (i'm pretty emo+bad temper people, i will get on fire very fast, still learn to control my temper) my favourite song of her will be honey bee *nice nice*




Tip #02
and not to forget bejeweled. gaming will move your focus away from work and have your own little time. thanks to DiGi broadband, i can enjoy a pretty good broadband service though i'm stay at 25th floor. and it ease my life, i can do work & check my email though i'm out for whole day meeting. you just need to look for ways to make yourself work efficiently, that's one of the way.



my easy-to-carry-everywhere DiGi USB modem & my baby ipod touch


alright, till here for today *yawnnnnninggg*

good night, guys! hope you all do enjoy my very 1st post for this series ;)

no content

recently, am influenced by both caryn & mio, i started to pack lunch from home.

caryn is having severe gastric problem so she needs to make sure she eats on time and having more good food (good food = food that more suitable for someone who has gastric problem? less oily, no spice, less ... less this less that foods hmm... sounds like patients huh? shhh... caryn will cubit me). mio le, pack lunch from home, so you can eat more healthy foods rather than oily+very-ajinomoto foods out there and mainly wanna save money. caroline le, getting new car soon *stress* means i need to be really careful in every single penny spent. gosh, my life is going to be tougher. life is getting tougher esp me this commitment freak :(

i was chit-chatting @ bistro with mio during lunch time the other day, "hey why you seem like long never update your blog huh??". guess what she replied me, "aiyo no content to update le, my life so boring, everyday go work, come back from work ..." *speechless*

what she said, true also. guess that's why i rarely update my blog too. if just blog for the sake of blogging, i believe you guys gonna be bored till death reading the same contents in every single blog entry. no way, not what i will do ;) i won't choose to torture you guys this way.

hmm. i have to stop having this kind of stupid boring life cause life is too short for me to waste it this way, no way! must find a way to make it to be more colorful. i don't wanna end up my life like bluefish. she kept complaining how meaningless her life now is in singapore, and yet still don't wanna listen to me, come back malaysia (at least she got 4C to entertain her).

*ting* maybe i should share more about my works. yay, maybe i can write a series of blog entries regarding life in advertising??? cool! ON! and maybe another series on save money tips, home packed lunch recipes ... cool cool cool! ON ON ON!

stay tune for the series ya!
