I'm the most filial!

I'm the most filial, for spending 5% of my free time with my family and 95% behind this screen
I'm the most filial, for not talking much to my brother even though he's always just beside my computer.
I'm the most filial, for I frequently shoo them off when they just want to talk more with me, citing having no time.
I'm the most filial, for I many times gave a disappointed face at the food my grandma cooked, when she always put in her best
I'm the most filial, for I have not hugged my grandma since 12 years ago.
I'm the most filial, for not even remembering their birth dates.

I'm the most filial, because they think I am.

An early birthday celebration for me, heheh.
Would not be in town for 30th cuz I'm going for a little getaway!
An all-guys tour. I wonder what would we end up in.
Think hangover.

Redang, here we come!

So it's all back to planning what to do, where to go, and how to do them.

Sometimes I wonder have i grown strong emotionally or am I getting detached from emotions. I've done an extensive test on Personality Traits and i get this under my emotional section.

Neuroticism (Emotional stability)

This trait refers to the way you cope with, and respond to, life's demands. Approximately 16% of respondents have a lower neuroticism raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is calm and emotionally stable. Based on your responses, you come across as someone who is rarely bothered by things, and when they do get you down the feeling does not persist for very long.

Reflective question: When do your emotions (or lack of emotions) get in the way of good decision making?

I guess the answer to that question should be good for military style decision-making but bad for the creative side. I used to think it doesn't matter but as I mix with new groups of people, out of my comfort zone, I realized what has been working for me now may not work in the soon future.

And the next point I've confirmed is that after teenage, a guy would appear much more attractive if he's driven, passionate about his interest and most ideally have a bright future. (Ps. different from rich spoilt brats) HAHAHAH.

Back to the point, I've been through quite a number of shit holes, stood up by myself again, again and again. Important question is, have i grown strong or have I grown detached, numbed and senseless. I didn't feel much about today's disappointment. But that's good for this case as I could quickly move on and seek for more opportunities.

And due to the regret, I'm officially *quite* free for the next one year, which calls for new plans. My friend in Brisbane is inviting me over to her apartment, and I'm thinking it's really a good opportunity. Apparently the cheapest flight there by Qantas is only 700 dollars. But I'm always just talks about such unusual ideas. Ah fuck, I should really stop restraining myself and go for it.

Yesterday night was spent chilling and chatting at a kopi tiam again. I'm starting to really appreciate having friends that understand me and listen to all my complaints and insecurities. I used to be the one listening, and am glad that now there is people to listen to me.

Recently, whenever I had an inspiriting blog idea, I'd either be too busy or lazy to blog. So ironically, now that I've both time and energy, I'm missing out ideas. Dang.

Life has been fulfilling and packed. Holiday is here. 8 weeks of it but probably all will be used up for Far East Plaza (FEP) Marketing Communication planning. The team is much much more efficient than I'd expect. Thumbs up! =)

These few days are the time I'm starting to slow down my pace of life and catch a few glances at the lives around me. I don't know how to exactly put my thoughts across here. All I can say is I have been learning very much from my friends. A lot about life.

They are right. Time passes so much faster when you turn twenty. Life would become more of a pursuit than a journey. Cause everything just happen so quickly and so much more things are demanded on you, you don't have the luxury to take it your way slowly.

I'm learning how to have fun amidst the busiest or most-worrisome situations. =)

Blogger's weird these days. I don't see icons and shortcuts here anymore. Lazy to find codes for posting pictures hence I'd leave photos later.

Hmm.

Life's been really good. It's so good that I'm already starting to think I'd miss all these days soon when the semester ends and internship steps in. I'm not a workaholic yet I'm enjoying every single part of these projects, campaigns, assignments and reports.

Major ones are mostly down as of last Friday and all would end next Monday. Oh man, everything's so fast it's already August. National day tomorrow! I can still clearly remember last december and it feels just like a few months ago.

Good news kept setting in for me, I'm damn glad about all these, but have little time to express my happiness. I'd have to concentrate on next piles of work every other time. I realise that I'm starting to achieve all that I've been hoping for and even more. Heheh. I guess all that I'm missing out now is just that someone.

But maybe not this time, just not yet. Occasionally I'd envy those who are attached. Other times I'm glad I'm single and free. Besides, I've other things to concentrate on first.

Are You Guilty? Campaign

Frankly, I'm very proud of my team. On a personal level, I feel our campaign is awesome. Considering all other modules that we have to multi-task with this FYP, we've done a great job. We've achieved all visions and objectives we've set for ourselves and even more. Getting all those sponsors are what we'd not have expected. I've learnt from Ms Nga that asking is always free. Hahah.

Other than sponsors, I'm proud that we've managed a considerable event. Not too much work was put in yet the amount of target audience was definitely cool. 120 people. The last event we managed was only 20 odd kids! Liaison with the movie theater and sponsors was also quite impressive I think. Of course not on a professional level, but I think for first-timers we've learn a lot. And yesterday I was at marina square and saw a similar but professional Movie Screening event. I grinned. Everything there was so similar to Are You Guilty? movie screening. The goodie bags, the ticketing booth, the lucky dip, the photographer, and the attention it got from passers-by. All these we've done it even without anyone else guiding us.

My Dream

I received a call about a month back. It's about my internship, and from then on I've gotten my dream job. A Marcom Agency for a considerable organization. It's for Far East Plaza! And basically the 6 of us would be the Agency for all Advertising and Promotion for the mall. Budget given for the year-long campaign is a quite a lot, but i can't say how much since its sensitive. From conceptualizing, planning, executing and evaluating, all would be done solely by us.

=D
