title : Lost Touch
Hello world. Just back from 7- 10pm school to the comfort of air-conditioned bedroom. The weather these days is really getting super hot - literally sweat like waterfall. Don't know what hit me to type these once so familiar words into search bar and find myself back to this blog. I am glad my memory did not fail me to remember this small world of my thoughts and memories, though mostly negatives. I guess I've lost touch with penning down my most direct thoughts and feeling, but it sure feels good to start over again. An update on my life...the missing pages. - Working at M - While I randomly click through my blog archive, it brings me back to the post that talked about the scary feeling of leaving schools to venture into the working world and the post that write on an article about finding the dream job. Well, almost 6 years have past since then, it's really fast how time flies isn't it. In year 2013, I have joined company M in the field of advertising and promotions, and it had always been my dream to try out a marketing job. At M, the department is really small, just me and my colleague that report straight to the general manager. Because of how small a team we are, we would usually have to cover all aspect of the marketing job, and when I say ALL, it really is ALL.....that includes - A&P with landlords, media, newspaper, digital ads, magazine, sponsorship, media loan, store openings, social media, workshops, press release, website, blogs, media invites and so much more... Couldn't describe just how lucky I am to find myself in this job. Although the job scope is highly demanding and definitely over-loaded, but there is never a day of dullness. As the company expand, the list of stuff to learn expanded too. The marketing aspect is just too dynamic...I was exposed and involved in cafe, web, and many first times in workshop planning, photography, videography etc. Like a roller coaster ride, it was freaking stressful but exciting. Taking with me all the valuable skill set that I pick up along the way. I could say, M is a stepping stone in my life, and it's great that I get to be exposed to such experience. Through here, I've met many young and energetic colleagues and learn my way through interpersonal skills which I still work to improve on. The job that landed me with opportunities annually June to travel to Japan, each trip with more discerning mission and learning objectives, but that also brings me to widen my social network with people from around the world. - Start of a Student Life Again - And now in year 2016, I've finally stop procrastinating and enrolled myself into university studies. I took up a double degree in a rushed decision, and a nudge by my primary school friend. It all started from a small casual talk on not doing anything and wanting to do something about it, which later on leads to a meet up for a school open house and ended off with the decision to commit ourselves into degree studies. University study is NO JOKE, much more so that I need to juggle so hard between school and work. Mostly leaving me with no time for anything extra. My weekends and even weekdays are mostly burnt with group report and presentation, and I couldn't count just how frequency I fall sick as I push myself too hard. Just so in the month of July, almost every other week I'll take an urgent leave, which I thought might get me fired if this carries on. Student life is hard. And almost everyday I am swamped with thoughts that perhaps university study is really not for me. Sigh, with 2.5 - 3 more years to go, and a backside full of debts (direct translation). Let's see how it goes. --- Time check 12.40am, it's time to head to sleep. Menses got me feeling so exhausted. Good'night world... Shall update the rest of the missing pages next time. If I get the chance and motivation to. Till then. Life has it's way of carrying on...watch as the chapters unfold. Ultimately, all the dots will link. |
