Thursday night @ Club Cliq & Sugar...ai, 4 glasses of wine + 1 baileys and already dead...but then watching catwalk was pretty fun~

Friday: Working in the morning as usual, packing afterwards.

To be true, I enjoy working. It might not be the best company to work in, boss might not even make sense sometimes, and I might not be able to learn a lot, but then I feel the efficiency is coming back again.

In other departments' eyes, marketing is nothing but spender who doesn't care about company's well-being as a whole. And we dont' even perform. Sure enough, there're blames we shall hold liable. As a part of the marketing team and especially for online marketing, coming up new ideas and creatives on weekly, or even daily basis is part of our job. When one creative does not perform, new idea has to come up. To be true, I enjoy each brainstorming session, because that's when all the brain sink in. I like being creative too.

To everybody else, "thinking" is something abstract. They cannot see the work behind each "thinking" process - actual copy, artwork and layout, booking media and setting media-id, tracking performance, making sure projection and forecast are met, communicating the creative to every channel, and keeping everything under the budget. Not to mention the timeline for each "thinking" might probably be just 1-2 hours and then another layout and artwork have to come up right away when the "thinking" does not perform. Nonetheless, these are often overlooked by most people.

A few months ago I was confused about my value as a person and a part of the marketing team too. Yet it's getting more clear to me that we are worthy enough to spend. Then again, we still have rooms to improve, as slightly better is still a "better".

And therefore I will still be the first one to arrive the office everyday =)

Definition of Seven Eleven and a convenient store
7-11 sev·en e·lev·en (svn -lvn)
The company has its origins in 1927 in Dallas, Texas, USA. Open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., hours unprecedented in length, hence the name. The company began to use the 7-Eleven name in 1946 and started business in Hong Kong in 1981. Today, 7-11 extended hours to 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Today the store hours "7-11" are no longer relevant.
con·ven·ient  (kn-vnynt)
adj.suited to your comfort or purpose or needs; "a convenient excuse for not going"
accessible- capable of being reached;
expedient - serving to promote your interest

Sorry I am no 7-11 or convenient store that operates 24/7 and available at your demand or service.

T'was  a good night chatting with Salus and watching tvb online. Hope everything'll start anew with the holiday and all that =) Aiyaiyai think I have to file the tax now, and I don't even know how to start...

Mom was challenging me why I use "hihi" instead of "hi hi". Haha. She's so into her television channel man.

With my limited budget and all that, which one would you prefer if you were a mom?

5/10: Confused about certain person's personality and sexuality - that is so weird OMG. And as truth is hidden behind the ironically and literally glamorous mask (haha), what I found is nothing but lies that are hidden underneath.

It'll suck for them to know the truth.

Dreaming two nights in a row. Damn.

Happy Mother's Day =)

5/9: Crying again. Hai. Why is it haunting me so bad recently? At around 2:30pm I went to take a walk at the Kowloon Park for a bit. It was sunny alright, and the weather was warm. I saw people swimming, I saw kids touring the park, I saw some old men walking, I saw a Philipinno lady reading a book. People are all unrelated and yet related as a community. It was quite peaceful actually.

But the chaotic sense of uncontrollability reigns over me. I feel like being chewed bits by bits. What I need is, stop thinking too much. What I want is, a company to sit beside me *probably on the left* and watch all the happenings without saying anything or judging me for who I am.

Nice evening and dinner with Alice. Some moments of not thinking about what I shouldn't be thinking

公司出現左隻狼。。。一隻無頭髮的狼 wa ha ha ha

5/8: 又喊

因為﹐覺得﹐D人真系好無禮貌﹐覺得﹐平時拒D態度已經好難頂﹐點解要我就拒﹐細過我就大晒架喇咩

拒話﹐"你知我不嬲都系甘架喇"

我應翻拒﹐得啦﹐明

心諗既系﹐心淡

不嬲都系甘就可以繼續系甘架咩﹐甘我夠不嬲都系甘又得唔得? 醉左﹐就可以上黎訓。Friend? "Aiya其實拒好關心你架"?

系咩

I was reading Bertha's xanga a minute ago and started cracking up. She was telling how her PhD-Chinese  flatmate, who barely speaks English, came up with the words "'Mass Destruction Weapon," when they played Scattegory - "M" as the letter and "Something you are afraid of" as the category.

Then I cracked up. Cos' the first answer that came to my mind was ""M" leaking out from...and dripping down to...or dirtying my..."

Damn, that's the difference between PhD and MBA. Last year this time I was still back in the States. We had a scategory game once too. When the letter was "B" and the category was "Movie/TV star," I got nothing but "Bobby Au Yeung." Speaking of being a local Hong Konger with no sense of American-ess.

Half a year ago when Vico told me about the workshop series he was attending, I was motivated, eager to explore and be explored. Nonetheless when I was still filling up the sign up form, the organizer told me that they could not let me join. We all know the reason, and they think I am not ready to take up new challenge yet. I should wait for another 2-3 years at least.

Today Denden was telling me about this same workshop he just started. He said, people who are afraid of looking at the past should attend, because without looking back it'll just haunt you forever. To certain extend, I know that I must look back, but then I guess I can't, at least for now. I started looking back the pictures 2-4 years ago, and they scared me. Each and every piece of picture frightens me. I realized what was not realized back then, but realization hurts. Reality and recognition of reality hurts. Right now even when I am typing all these down, nothing but tears roll down my face, because simply writing about it is painful enough.

It is still haunting me in certain way.

And I don't like the way I look now. I should be 5lb less. It was the best. I used to think like, liking tasty food is a natural respond, but it's a temptation to uncontrollability. Water, on the other hand, is pure. It's clean. It's tasteless. And now I like eating. Can I be 5lb less? I doubted. Will I be 5lb more? I don't know.

I guess the organizer was right, I still need some time.

Wedding was fun. 我真系無搶花球架﹐拒自己跌落黎架。。。Bertha I need your wedding now, so that I can get another 花球. Haha. speaking of positive reinforcement.

When the one who used to have a crush on you became somebody with makeups on (sometimes quite heavily), what you'd feel is perhaps weird, weird, and weird. Slightly funny, and slightly waska-b-b-b. Whatever that means.

But then I guess, the good thing is the person should have moved on. Or like, would like to move on.

Puipui: If possible, ask Mom to call me. I have a $600 Swarovski coupon that's expiring in July. Ask her what she wants to get =)

Krispy Kreme at 4pm for free because Adrian knows the people working there. He got half a dozen at no cost =P

During lunchtime at a 茶餐廳, they started asking me about my idea of how "rice and noodle" is something to be eaten at dinner time and my past eating habits. Hai...

I mean, while I can still pretend to be all casual about this topic, there is still something in my heart that I cannot let go. I feel like, it's something happened so long ago that doesn't usually ring a bell to me. But at the same time, it did happened.

想既係﹐唔好再問我點解。始終發生左既事﹐永遠會有條刺響度。死Gai, 拒明知E個系我弱點﹐仲奸笑甘同拒地講﹐繼續問啦繼續問啦

Today's marketing event is at Mong Kok, should work ok.

So tired after a whole days' work. Bet Koufu is too. He looked tired in the office. Must be stressful at his position.
