10 Times Busier, 100 Times Tougher But Feeling 1000 Times Better

I hereby declare I LOVE my job.
No, not because of the free booze at the 251 post party last night where I blabbered so much rubbish which made my colleague said this before i left work today, "I have to adjust to your new postural". What does he even mean by that? I said the same thing back cos he also blabbered many Hmm.... Ok, anyway, I love my job Just simply because it makes me feel good. Though at the start of the week (Today) I already listed down like 20 things with deadlines I have to meet. Damn.

Of course there are shitty times at work, but well, if there ain't no shit, it ain't no work. Overall, I just think of the good times more than the bad. Though I just successfully finished the trailer shoot, cast meeting and workshop over the weekend (which are only small parts of the project), the tiny sense of achievement is enough to keep me going. I was the assistant producer who coordinated the whole shoot, the coolie who helped moved props, the relief Director when the actual one has to leave for something urgent and the FOH staff who gives out free goodies of condoms and feminine wash to audience. And When I'm back in the office, I'm a Programs Executive fighting for sponsors. Wow. Its quite an experience for 2 half months aint it?

Especially after both post parties of 251 and TITOUDAO, it just tells me how good one will feel whenever a project is over. The satisfaction, it just overcomes and the rest are forgotten. Everything's just sweet after the bitter, and the bond I see in this big family is just fantastic. Nobody is left out and all are sincerely appreciated, though.... they may not be rewarded. I don't think you can get much of this anywhere else. Not at my last workplace at least. People are not even treated equally, we were purely just slaves of those who ARE also our slaves.

Though I suffer from ultimate stress, I kip fighting to meet deadlines and I miss them too, I had sleepless nights over work, my low confidence bugs me at times, I have to work loads of OT once in a while and I'm not being paid for that, even my weekends may be gone, the pay is rather minimal but still, I hope I'll be confirmed by the end of the month. Its my last trial month, I'm actually worried I wun get this! Can you believe it???!!! Ewwww..... I'm really a working adult already.

I still do my best to enjoy myself as much as I can though. Talking nonsensical stuff and do silly things with RobRob & Siong Siong , play the pool/tennis, catcha movie, curse at soccer matches, club only every 3 months now (excludes social party please, ak hem... its work.), blah blah blah. I appreciate RobRob & Siong Siong whom I spend almost every weekend with. I guess most probably cos we are all single and enjoythe company of idiots (as I always say... I'm a kid at heart). Cos you know, once people are attached they tend to neglect and forget about their friends. You know.... People like ..... Taitai.... haha! I bet she'll be tagging to claim her innocence later.

I am a Proud Kidult!
