A Series of Unfortunate Events -.-

I have been down on my luck. And I'm sure I am!

Just last week, my nose got smashed by a stupid carpark gantry barrier while i was chasing for a cab. And Oh yes, there's no need to tell me how dumb it was! haha.

it hurt the most and i nearly fainted, i swear!
My nose bled and got all swollen and i cried like a baby!
was on mC for 2 days after that and came back to office with a plaster.
that was a joke right i know, and the worst of all, that night when i'm back in office, was TP DND.

And yup, i went there with a plaster on my face.
I mean, there's no need to look beautiful at such occasions,
but at least - i needed a decent face to go with.
self esteem was down to the max over the few days when i was so worried that it'd leave a scar.

But thank God!
My wound is healing and hope it goes away real soon. =)
I'm back as a happier person over the weekend after not having to put on a plaster anymore -
though the wound is still there.

and my exam for this term has finally ended.
accounting and econs were crap.
it's because i did not study hard enough, and accounting paper was the toughest so far.
i was depressed for the entire month of exams, and thank god marketing paper picked me up!
cuz i think i'd score well for that.
thank god.
at least give me an A for that pleaseeee?

Went back to work yesterday, slept with my eyes open the entire afternoon.
i was stoning like a block of wood. soooo tired!

and then, i went back to TP last night for OLTC.
it was a shock to me that many things were not done properly,
and we just had to do evrything over and over again.
stayed till 3am with Gene, and I swear I was dying.
Of course, the kids were tired too after being grilled by both of us the entire night.
A pleasant surprise was that small Mark appeared (new lecturer from chem eng)
he stayed up with us the entire night, and gave his inputs on manpower flow as well.
i was impressed by how fast he managed to blend himself with the programme, and even gave suggestions.
he used to be from some union in NUS back in school, young guy lah.
he's a hell different from our beloved infamous Mark Tan please!
stayed with us till 3am, and sent us home.
how sweet can that be!
and i was even more surprised to know he's jac's long time friend, and joins wallace for mahjong sessions since long time ago! wa lao, what a small small world. =)

and today, i'm like a zombie and i think i will be until the end of today.
tell me how unfortunate my life is getting recently -
the videos recorded for a few ppl yesterday, suddenly deleted!
and now we're desperately trying to recover the corrupted memory card.
and if not, i'll have to call and apologize and request them to re-film.
tell me that i have an apologetic touch in my voice on the phone? why me! sigh!

I am so going home earlier tonight
think my mum had been missing me. hahaha.
i havent been home early ever since i started working here. epic right?
it's been more than a month.
and i miss my baby nephews. they're such lovely dudes these days. =)

alright, i'm praying that my bad luck goes away soon.
i hope to film more and more ppl soon! increase quota! so friends, help me out! hehehe.

bye, lunchhhhh

Insanity

My paper On monday was gross.
it's the hardest paper i have ever came across since I started studying in MDIS.
Well, it was an utterly disappointment in myself because if I have bothered studying more on theory, i could have done better.
now, i'm even worried of not getting a C for it, hopefully im right that i'll pass.

this week had passed really quickly.
On monday night, i had company dinner.
Boss's treat at grand Hyatt Straits Kitchen.
it was a mighty brainstorming and story telling session.
but i had my fair share of fun listening to interesting things said by my director (some shareholder)

That also meant - Grace, more work on canvassing please.
there had been alot of pressure placed on canvassing side.
I am already trying my best, i really would say.
everyday i'm packed with lots of weird things to do
that i cant focus on just looking for schools.
i mean - seriously, after sending email, u call. u cant possibly be calling the same sch every single day that has passed.
but i am glad that work has progressed.
now i have finally 2 institutions who are damn keen on working with us
which i am DAMN happy and proud of myself.
at least thats a great sense of satisfaction, with motivation.

I'd been asking the whole world to do video for me.
of course there are those that, i don't ask cuz i know they really don't have the time.
but i'm glad there are those that who'd still do it for me despite the busy schedule.
these few weeks had been damn gross.
too much things that have happened that i feel like i'm crumbling down.

I'm thankful that my boss has been really kind and patient with me.
i aspire to be like her 4 years down the road, running the show.

and yes, btw, i appeared on tv.
which was utterly embarrassing lah! haha.

Many things happened this week.
exams, work, and mixed feelings. it was gross.

first time in my life - i suffered from some sort of anxiety attack for exam on monday
i was so stressed up, totally couldnt process in my brain
before, during and after the paper.
now i AM seeing the downside of taking part time degree with a full time job.

then. Met Gerald.
too long a story to tell. but things got a little out of control.
at least on my side.
i was confused over the little butterflies in my stomach when we met and i wondered hard on what it was.
was feeling really lost and din know what to do.

but thank god. a phonecall kinda pulled me out from there.
and i realised, i really need to treasure my r/s with bf, someone that i know i love but i'd been taking him for granted.

perhaps, life has been too good with him around?
I nv had to worry that he's not going to be around.
He's always been there, whenever i needed him. as much as he could.
perhaps its him being too nice and showering too much care, that made me forget that,
hey, u need to be a little more appreciative.

it was a wake up call.
I was nv so scared of losing someone. I guess.
Because i actually opened up my mouth and told him about my confusion.
i thought i needed to.
and to my surprise, he wasnt angry at all lah.
that was madness right
all he said was, as long as u're still here, i'm happy.
OMG i nearly died.
the sense of guilt that i felt was gross.
but i was damn happy. =)
there i knew, i din have to make a choice at all. Because, he was and is my choice.

thank god towards the middle of the week, my mixed emotions were back to normal
and now im just damn tired from studying.

i think i need the bed.
so much work waiting for me to do in office
and so much more to study
i'm losing my balance already, really.

cant wait to go back to TP this sat to meet the asc kids
and cant wait to go for Pan's bdae party
I need a break!!!!!

lovely, good night!
I'm gonna study a little more and slp and wake up tomorrow morning.
Ciao. =)

Great - did nothing!

Ok great, I spent my whole day doing nothing.
CRAP and i just waited my 100 bucks of not working.
SIGH> grace chan wake up!

go study study study!!!!!!!!!

BYE!

Hello! TGIF

I am finally OFF today.
But that does not mean anything - because i took off to study!
and it is unpaid leave! means I'm losing $100.

Met up with Wallace, Juv and Mag last night
I finally had a life.
haha. it was the entire night of blabbering about my work
and laughing about anything and everything.
I think it's definitely damn good for de-stressing!

Alright then!
I'm going off for lunch.
after waiting for 1.5 hours
i'm so sleepy.

study study study!

BYE.

It's been the longest time?

Wah! I just realised I havent blogged for like damn long?!
Guess work and studies had taken a toll on my life. Totally..

it's been 2 weeks since i last updated.
and time flies. I'm having my papers next week - and i am totally not ready.

Work has been stressful as to liaising with institutions
it's definitely not easy
but i am glad because - i'm given all the space I want to create and innovate programs
The team is small but we work closely together
There's a new sales n marketing manager who joined yest
and wow she's been teaching me tonnes of marketing tips.
i'm really excited and i hope i learn much from her!

sometimes, it's really the people you work with that counts
there are people who let you start from scratch, and watch you grow
there are people who let you start from scratch, and guide you along while you grow
i think i really prefer the latter.

It's been impressive meeting staff at managerial levels
and watching my boss do her presentation
i really aspire to do as well on my own
as i create a SOP for people who'll be coming in later to the company

I have been commended to be doing well at my work
and im definitely happy about it!
i guess i'm a people person, i really cant work and function well if i don't get along in the first place
- that can be an adv or disadv altogether.
I work very well with my boss, she's been teaching me many things and open to questions and i know about her life though i have only met her for 2 weeks
imagine, i knew my ex boss for 2 years.

The Prevview Portal is finally launched this week
and we're all very happy about it!
but i guess i'm feeling a little OUT of the crowd since many of them are involved in the website making
i know nuts about it
and i cant even help to check grammar
sometimes it does feel bad.
thank god there's this intern, who's a punk from NP to help filming with video and editing
I am REALLY sure i get along damn well with people younger than me. NO JOKE.
haha!
and so yup, he sits beside me and we often talk crap in front of my boss. =p

My Dir is giving us a treat at Buffet at Hyatt Hotel this friday
like WOAH!
but seriously, i'd rather not go.
because it's supposed to be my off day - to chiong for my exams...
but can i say no?
it's the first time i get to meet other people from the other companies as well - office downstairs
it's complicated!
=D

had been addicted to a korean show
and i finished it at high speed
havent been slping well.
and really - i think im dying for exams
sigh.... but it's really damn hard to study after work everyday
i am, experiencing the real side of work and study life.

I'm gonna be interviewed tomorrow by Mediacorp
channel 8 and channel 5
Im acting like a jobseeker who will be asked about benefits of Prevview job portal!
And i was indeed struggling with the chinese script that i've written
like wa lao!
my chinese is damn lousy.
Watch out for news on me on thursday evening! haha im excited but hope i dont look FAT.

ok. im going to bed now.
my eye rings are looking really bad...

it may be a long time till i write again.
good night! =D
