When the time comes...

when i have too much money to flaunt these r the items I am dying to have...

1. Yammi yogurt or Yoguru machine in my kitchen
- So I can have yogurt as my dessert and for breakfast every single morning. I have already replaced my icecream cravings with frozen yogurt for quite sometime already.. I simply love it! I can have it everyday. I will buy this machine or open a branch in my backyard maybe? so my girl friends can just drop by for a frozen yogurt anytime. (Free Toppings included)

2. Jacuzzi at the roof top
And I shall have champagne and strawberries under the starry starry night with my girl friends...

3. Shall invest in my maid
Other than doing house chores, i shall also invest in my maid to take up hair dressing skills as well as mani and pedi skills so i can get her to blow/style my hair everyday and do my mani and pedi. She get to earn extra cash, and i get to do all this at my own house! Plus, she gets to upgrade her skills which will come to good use when she goes back to her country!

4. Kenzo clothes and Ferragamo Heels
I love love luuuuuurve Kenzo for the deconstructive design which are one of a kind and Ferragamo heels which are so comfy. I will buy all of their new season arrivals and will wear them everyday.

5. Annual shopping trips to US, HK, UK
US for post Thanksgiving sales, HK for summer sales and UK for Harrods boxing day sales

6. My very own Cat Farm
Will adopt all the stray cats. Educate public on resposible pet ownership and actively promote micro chipping. Haunt down on pet abuse cases and the abusers will get maximum punishment.

Ok this is in my list for now. Will list down more when I remember...

Lady of Leisure

lady of leisure
A polite term for an unemployed woman.
urban dictionary

So yah, time flies so fast when you gain the title of Lady of Leisure. Is been OMG 2 weeks already? dang...

I dont really feel it yet, as I have been really busy. With what? i donno. I have just been so busy.

Catching up with friends for lunch whom I didnt meet up for some time, hanging out at my fiancee's office and just doing what i feel like doing.

My first to-do on the list was all the things that i couldnt do when i was employeed. Like sending clothes to dry-cleaners and sending my tiffanys for polishing. (Don't ask me why.. I am spending more money when i am jobless)

And i swore to myself i will go to yoga everyday but this week i fell sick with stomache flu + PMS. not a good combi to stretch myself out in a hot room.

But today! I did something so fruitful. I went to a clearance sale of my fav boutique, and bought 1 skirt, 1 dress and 2 tops!! And usually this will cost close to 1k or more.. and guess how much i spent?????
.
.
.
.
.
wait for it.
.
.
.

Total of $124! OMG! I am doing such a good job as a budget tai tai!
Thatz one good thing of being unemployeed. I get to be the first to go to all these fantastic bargain haunting :D

Anyways, I will be off to HK in 2 weeks time, and probably that is the reason why I do not feel as bored as yet.

Ok gotta go~ Got drinking sessions tonight! Gosh lady of leisure is a busy title!

Another new milestone

After 9 months stint in advertising/digital i decided it is time for another new milestone.

I missed being in a bigger company to get exposure and to get to know more people. And i did.

Work wise.. it is just work. :/

But people I met.. Oh my... it's been up and down. Most of them are incredible individuals.. Handful are the worst of worst you could ever imagine they existed.

They sent me off with such affection, for past week i had doubts if i had made the right decision to leave. The team has been so great. We were never this close before. We bonded so well which made the worst bearable.

And the emails I received from the local agencies.. I almost choked with tears.

End of the day, I know I did a great job left with a good name to them, I am glad i inspired them, I am happy they appreciate me, I am overjoyed that I made some great friends which will last long time to come.

So here I come, my tai-tai hood..! (really wonder how long I can tahan this though..?!)

Well I am starting off with Ferragamo sales tomorrow, followed by monday a hair cut, massage and a facial. I truly deserve this after the 9 months of hardwork.

Drag me to Hell

To sum it up she totally deserved to be dragged to hell cuz she killed her poor little kitty! A Very good reason!

Spot On!

Hilarious but sadly i totally understand this..
Heez, i bet you are feeling guilty...

Augmented Reality

I am not a geek, and know nuts about technology, came upon augmented reality when we were presenting to the client about digital in future.. And i am so fascinated! uber coolness.

This is so awesome and cool. Imagine how your future can change?
Advertising will just go up another level (think of 3D ads in the magazines), our living will be so much more convenient (think of wearing goggles and you look outside and the building and road names will just map out for you), name cards with your own 3D character popping out... is like so awesome!

Long Time no Say

yah today heez commented i didnt blog for the longest time.
True.. was super busy lah..
day by day passes so quickly, and all i wanna do nowadays is to stay at home snuggle with my cats and to exercise..... with Wii. ;)

so what have i really been doing?

I have been eating Jln Tuakong Fishball noodles every saturday without fail. It is sooooo goooood.. only reason i look forward to saturday is this noodles. L.O.V.E.

Also, working lor. work work work.. BORING. at least i get to knock of before 7 almost everyday so is not that bad actually!

And planning the wedding planning.. OMFG.. is a chore.. thinking of planning is a major migraine..so much to think about.. bridesmaid dresses, brothers clothes coordinations, need to diet, when to go for teeth whitening, food, date, is it dinner or luncheon, how many days, flowers, table setting, color theme, need IPL or not?, wedding cake or mini cupcakes, my dress, his suit color, wedding band design, rent or borrow the wedding car, honeymoon, venue, photographer, videographer, what kind of wedding photos.......... AAARRRGGGHH

I really feel like getting a wedding planner and ask them to do everything for me.only if i strike toto!! My mom volunteered but i rejected her :\ she says everything can be done in a month... i seriously had to raise my eyebrow...

So i have been busy :)

Activation from T Mobile

So love it!
Brings a smile on my face.. Imgine this at Raffles Place outside during peak hours.. Happening! :D

Post holiday Depression

Had about 10 days off for Christmas and New Year.. Then looked forward to the CNY holidays and with the courtesy from Mccann, we got one whole week off... And i seriously did not use my brain that much for past one week. Except when i was playing golf..

Now there are no more holidays left for the whole of Feb and Mar.. :(
Next is Phuket in Apr for beach nua holiday and HK in Aug for shopping holiday..

i am depressed.. my head hurts cuz i used my brain for past 8 hours.. time to go home.

So finally got hitched!

It's the new year!
And i realised i have not been blogging.. :) work was busy, life was busy, really had no time!

Lot happened in 2008. and more changes to come in 2009.

And to sum it up, this is what happened :)



Happy Blessed New Year! :)

our song

We have finally found our song..

Yes this is our song after being together for 22 months and 24 days..
A song that was playing on the radio in the car that we knew at that moment we loved this song.

Embrace "Gravity"

I am so tired

Ever since i started this new job, i am clocking average 10 hours a day and max 13 hours sometimes.
i knew it was not going to be easy, but i am taking it ok.

Today is my 13th day, and i have already picked it up and going full throttle.
had to get used to the process, understand the nature of work, getting to know new people.. And i am getting hang of it.

This is one challenge I wanted to take before moving on to something bigger. And i am learning new stuff everyday. It is so different from what i used to do, but it made me realise all these years from my previous coys, i was able to build such a strong foundation for myself. Which I am where I am now. So I am very thankful for that.

People warned me enough of what ad agency is like. Esp if it is a big one. but so far, i am enjoying it.. Hopefully i will feel the same when my probation ends.

Now all I ask for is one night of good sleep.

Something to ponder about

You are a bus driver. The bus, your company, is at a standstill, and it’s your job to get it going. You have to decide where you're going, how you're going to get there, and who's going with you.

Most people assume that great bus drivers (read: business leaders) immediately start the journey by announcing to the people on the bus where they're going—by setting a new direction or by articulating a fresh corporate vision.

In fact, leaders of companies that go from good to great start not with “where” but with “who.” They start by getting the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the right seats. And they stick with that discipline—first the people, then the direction—no matter how dire the circumstances.

When it comes to getting started, good-to-great leaders understand three simple truths.

First, if you begin with “who,” you can more easily adapt to a fast-changing world. If people get on your bus because of where they think it’s going, you'll be in trouble when you get 10 miles down the road and discover that you need to change direction because the world has changed. But if people board the bus principally because of all the other great people on the bus, you’ll be much faster and smarter in responding to changing conditions.

Second, if you have the right people on your bus, you don’t need to worry about motivating them. The right people are self-motivated: Nothing beats being part of a team that is expected to produce great results.

And third, if you have the wrong people on the bus, nothing else matters. You may be headed in the right direction, but you still won’t achieve greatness. Great vision with mediocre people still produces mediocre results.

I am going to be a f$%#ing awesome bus driver! yeah! :D

This is what i call an "Exit with Style and Glamour"

Haha.. so we slaved and whored ourselves to the client for past 3 years and finally bear the fruit of hard work and sweat. (Although we are still not very sure which client has nominated us :P)

On Sept 4th 2008, attended the Marketing Agency of the Year award ceremony and we won Bronze of Email Marketing Agency of the Year.
Not too bad, as our agency is not as well known in the region as in the US or in Europe..



We have finally set up our own office and moved in to Shenton way. The office is real nice and we are more than excited that we have finally have our place in Singapore.

So this was real nice to get appreciated by the clients, just few weeks before my departure. This rounds up all purrfectly, of the wonderful 34 months I had in this company.

I am sure even without my presence ;P , Acxiom will do very well and aim for "Local Hero" next year! Thank Goodness, I wont be competing in the same category :)

Another milestone

i have been sooo super busy with work and all the travelling that I had no time to update my blog..
So what have i been up to?

Oh the big news.. I have resigned! I am giving up this very good life of mine to another new place..
I really love my job.. I have the best client I can ever ask for. And I have purrfect work-life balance. I work from home most of the time. I am free of office politics. I earn very good money with regular pay increments and my bonus comes in every 3 months. I declare my own holiday. And lastly I am bloody good at what i do.

And with much thoughts (seriously i thought about it for 3 weeks when offer was made!) i decided to let go and do something more challenging.. I need to think far where my career is headed and what I want to be in 5-10 years.. yes I want to be someone.. MD or CEO.. and this new job will give a very good networking opportunities and a solid (I hope!) stepping stone :) So i made up my mind. I am more sad to leave my clients than my colleagues!! boo hoo..

If i am married with kids most likely i would have stayed. But now I am 30, and when the opportunity comes, you need to grab it and hold on tight. I am very blessed as I believe this new job was guided by God as so many things fell in its place and all was so smooth.. And the amount of blessings I received.. It is one testimony I tell you!

I love to go for interviews.. I get calls from headhunters quite often. Some i turn down, some I go for interviews to find out my market value worth. And most of the time they cant pay me that much.. Yes seems like I am paid over average, but why am i always broke? :P
And all these interviews helped me with my interview skills and my people skills as I got more and more comfortable with the interviews :)

So I am moving on.. 2nd of Oct at the new place, new job scope, new colleagues.. And I am so looking forward to it!

Weekend shopping trip to Hong Kong!

Hong Kong is crowded.. Too many people everywhere.. And they are all super skinny!
Can you believe at boutiques, the largest size for men is waist 31? *faint*

Anyway shopping is still fabulous! Way better than the GSS in Singapore this year.. It absolutely fullfilled my shopping deficiency.



There were lot of hilarious moments.

1) We drank the tea that was meant to wash the utensils - which i knew, but then i forgot. But actually we agreed that this tea tasted the best!

2) We were late for check out. But we passed this fabulous boutique that I couldnt resist. So we went in,saw this pretty dress I had to get it so forgot to even look at the price tag went to the cashier.. and it was a whooping 200+!!

3) The boutique offered free cakes which they refused to give it to me as a take away. i had to dine in.. we were already late for hotel check out and about 20mins away from the hotel, i was still arguing with the cashier why cant they bloody give me the cake on a napkin.. Mich was panicking all e way trying to pull me out from the boutique.

4) We had to buy the famous roasted goose back and we had to be at the airport by 6. We only had like 1 hour still headed down to lan kai fong and in midst of all the tight time we had still managed to go into H&M glanced around. Mich only made 1 floor but within 8 mins, i went to all the floors.. I am the champion of shopaholic! But with all this commotion, bloody hell, the goose sold out! aarrgh

One thing we learned. Mich and I can never join the Amazing race as partners, as we will stray into shops, need starbucks coffee breaks and we still need to dress up while racing..

Day 1 damage:



Day 2 damage:


Day 3 damage:


Total Damage = About SGD 3,200

But I am super proud of myself! As nowadays I purchase stuff sensibly only those that I really like and I need!!
Definetely HK is on my must visit for sales country list for next year!

Christian the Lion

This is so touching!! :D
