ARGH!!!! This is soooo frustrating! My first Blog entry for friendster and I had to wait almost half an hour for the page to load!!!!

Anyway, just got my FIRST pay check from my new job. It feels soooOOOooo good and sooOOOooo much better than the previous job. Not being sourgrapes here but I feel that this current position should’ve been what I should’ve pursued in the beginning. I mean, i never have to fake being busy coz there’s always stuff to be done! U must think I’m crazy to love that much work, but I do love it, mainly coz the work is enjoyable and the ppl in the office are top of the world to work with! It’s better than having to pretend to be busy coz that’s all you can do (oops, better not go on, I may get sued)…

Hmm.. just got back from the gym today. Actually, back from swimming at Fitness First. It’s a beautiful place to be in. The view is SPECTACULAR! It’s at the 5th floor of One George St and if you’re not afraid of heights, swimming there is really romantic coz it’s an opened space and there are all these beautiful buildings surrounding it! How cool is that!

Anyway, back to the topic of work. Just completed my first ‘assignment’ 2 weeks into first joining the company. Had to be part of a perfume launch by Loewe. Thoroughly enjoyed myself eventhough there were a few times that I panicked coz it was hot, then coz it rained, then coz it was too hot again. Then, panicked coz there was almost no contestants for our kissing marathon (but daniel ong did a fantastic job in pulling those couples that we needed for our marathon); not to mention a number of shocking moments, like when an old uncle started eating our buffet food meant for the press (luckily it was AFTER the event), shocked when my pants tore (had to buy a new one), shocked when the couples could kiss for 5 hours, shocked when i found out that i still smelled like the perfume even after I went home and took a bath… shocked when 2 gals came up and wanted to take part in the contest but they couldnt coz one of the gals (really loudly and proudly) pronounced that it was her first day of her period, shocked that there were 2 guys who wanted to kiss each other also… many shocks, but all in all it was soooo fun! I could get used to this life.. hehehe…

Now’s the time for me to take my nap. I can only pray that adter I press the save button, this goes straight to be published so I dun waste my effort… My IBM seems smaller and more dull compared to the apple powerbook I use at work… hmm.. i wonder why… hmmm…. Good nite!
