It's amazing how happy and satisfied you can be when you finally managed to do what you've always wanted + the fact that it rendered very positive feedback.. Your feet may be aching from walking in those 4inch heels but hell it was worth it. To see all things pretty (from a regular and plain dining hall to something that looks pretty neat with all the floral and lighting!) and that event goes on smoothly (special mention to the OCR team in president's speech!), is just a matter of hard work. Lots of late nights, sleepless mornings, pending RSVPs, finalizing of catering and vendors, matching up of the corporate color to our collateral, shuttle services to event venue and man, I can list it all.. Especially the whole telan-all-the-sakit-hati-ness that comes together with it and just hustle on!

 I've always and will always be proud to be part of OCR. Corporate Events team FTW! xx

Office of Corporate Relations - Corporate Events team ftw!

I don't do this often but here's a few snapshots of my colleagues and student ambassadors after our whole event is over! Phewwww like finally and we can all have a breather before the next comes up..  

 Just check out how wide my smile was hahaha. It was *radiating* with happiness because I can now go home on time. :P

One of those day where the visit that I helped with went well.

 Gotta love humble and easy going professors from Swiss who are in SG for a few days. They make me love my job more.

 The dress I wore was from Lexi Lyla and I foresee myself wearing it pretty often.
Perfect material (it stretches and hugs your body perfectly. Yes, the tummy bulge can be seen quite too. Hehe.), I love the neutral colors for the dress and it's simple-decent-elegant (to me) for work. I even got a few compliments on what I wore that day.

Nothing to hate, just love.

"Sometimes you hit a wall when you were expecting a door."

Amidst the fact that work has really start to kick in for me, uni will be starting very soon too and no kidding that I'm anticipating both with open arms. Haha. I mean, it's either I do this now or later so might as well start early, start while I've yet to have any real commitments. I hope to give my full attention to learn more and faster when it comes to work and to revise everyday before I fall asleep. I don't know if I'm going to turn those words into actions but I'm very sure I'll try my best. 

Ain't gonna think too much about failure (ps; need to be hell-yeah-positive) and not being able to run the events smoothly for this is my first year in doing all things. Mistakes may be inevitable but I wanna learn and make that one hell of a lesson. Though that being said, I hope no major faults happen. #prayforshiqin

All that aside..

• Student Ambassador Recruitment from the 16th to 18 Jan. Am so gonna be damn tired managing the registration table, students who'll be doing the data entry, might need to interview if they are shorthanded. That's not all, I only am clocking off at 7.30pm.

• SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA on the 17th! I applied PM Leave just for this because I want some time to prepare and look extra good! Hahaha. Anyone at the FREE STANDING area? Holla me! Then perhaps we can party the night away, together.

• Free ticket to PARENTAL GUIDANCE, 19th MORNING @ 10.15AM! Hahaha what a timing. Good news is that I'm going with my colleague at L5! Thank god she checked her email and asked me if I'm going with anyone because I'm not! Ps; I thought we were given a pair of tickets but noooo, just 1. That's all. Zzz. NUS has got too many staffs uh. 

• UNGU BAND, 19th EVENING @ 8.30PM! AHHHHH thank god Zaimah wanted to come along. If not, a ticket will be wasted because I accidentally bought extra 1 as I thought Syaff's bf will be joining. And smarty me, didn't check the amount that was transferred. Just straight away buy onlyyyy.

Haha okay la that's all for today. xx

Blues.

I can't believe my last post was almost a week ago. I know I was supposed to start blogging about my BKK trip but I was away from Thur-Sun in JB, celebrating Hari Raya Haji with my beautiful crazy family members and that left me with no time to have a proper blog post. Thus this is all the rambling I can afford to do during office hours. Just for you information, towards the end of the year, we usually have slightly more free time because the events and visits have tone down abit. 

Anyway.. What I wanted to complain about is that I've gained weight and I'm utterly depressed as of last week and perhaps, the week before but the fact that I ain't doing anything about it, worries me. I still eat happily like as if I'm going back to my original weight of 40kg (now am 44kg) with a blink of an eye. But of course la, that's not gonna happen unless I worked like how I used to. Example; At Kidz Amaze, run after the kids, hold birthday parties and games that requires me to climb the maze up to 3-5 level or even waitress-ing with Java Link. Somehow I miss working like that. Like.. Using my energy to the fullest. Instead of sitting on my desk, behind my desktop, preparing tons of things before a 1 day event filled with action and that's it. :(

But of course, we all need to move on and be somewhere different. Have a change of environment and what nots. When I come to think of it, the very least I've improved. That, is my personal opinion. Now, to improve even more. Long story cut short, after going through my latest photos, I don't see the advantages to having a high cheekbones. I feel fat, 70% of the time. And my tummy + arms make me looks preggie. That sucks balls and I have no choice but to go back to my usual weekly swimming with Grandma (Monday night that is) + CardioMix on Saturday mornings. Damnn it's really do or die. Or rather, do or be depressed. Hahaha k enough of being whiny and irritating. I shall get back to "work" and see you readers soon.
Right, like as if I'll be seeing any of you real life. :P

Office of Corporate Relations.

I've been with them for a quarter of a year. Fast huh? And the University Awards (UA) was my first event.

Those two photos above are taken together with the whole of Corporate Events team (director, deputy heads, managers, executives and MAOs) and the ones below are together with out Student Ambassadors that helped us during our events!

Work may look all cool, calm and collected but no one really knows how crazy it is behind the scene. Fun, yes. Tiring, yes also! Anyway, let me take back my words, it's not 'look all cool', we ARE a whole bunch of cool people! :P

Peace in my heart please.

Honestly, I don't like to blog about the "bad" or "sad" things happening and also about my "personal" + "work" life. By personal life, not necessarily about love but also family and friends included and for work, it's not that I don't want to share but haiya idk la. I'm having truckloads of what ifs at this point of time and I need to stop trying to "run-away" from whatever situations I'm in.
Actually, I don't even know what I'm talking about. I think I'm just rambling. Maybe.. All I need is a getaway, not a "run-away" (whatever that means anyway hahaha).

I wish I was strong enough to live like one but both of us.

Sure, things may be tough and rough but I'm not gonna let those get in my way. I need to learn to be more positive and that only through some pain will I gain. Aside from that, I've been faithfully going for terawih prayers. I don't know how to explain myself here but this year, things are different. I don't have to wait for my parents much persuasion to ask or remind me to go the mosque but I myself, wants to go. You get what I mean? Yeah I'm surprised at myself for this "change". Though I admit I'm not the best muslim out there. My only week point is dressing up a lil openly at times, usually are sleeveless tops.( Never tube tops coz I feel damn damn uncomfortable baring my shoulders for the world to see. And yes, I've posted pictures of me in those but I only dare to do so when I'm home. Haha.) For this Ramadhan, I just feel like.. Somehow or another, time is running out.
