I need sleep

First day of work and I'm already begging for sleep or that one day weekend to come quick...

A short pause

For some fresh air.

Everything seems to take on full speed for me at the moment, and I can hardly even find time to eat nor breathe! Geez. Crazy I tell you! Yup, I've started working in the Investment Bank :) Everything's rolling at maximum speed, one the fastest pace I've ever worked in.

As scary as it may seem, it is interesting at the same time and to have to go through the rigorous long hours, it's a challenge indeed. Nonetheless, the whole of my batch are just an amazing bunch of abangs and kakaks! I'm already in love with all of them and as people close to me would guess, I'm slowly feeling the close attachment ( yup, I get very attached quite quickly! ) we will all have. We went for lunch together, all 15 of us! :) Being the youngest in the team does have it's own perks btw, as always.

What I know is, in a day's work, my confidence level sure did boost up ten notches, my knowledge level increased tremendously, decision making became an important thing in my life all of a sudden and the motivation and anticipation is building. Stress level pun naik la of course, DUH! But I kinda love the strong, aggressive pressure. I'm praying hard that God will give me the strength to get through this without breaking down, InsyaAllah. Amin

To the rest, Ashley, Syafiq, Daniel, Azy, Shawn, Ash, Leong, Colin, Patrick, Cheam, Jun, Germaine, Jin, Chen, and Fei, thank you for being by me throughout today! and for making my very tiring evening into a happy one working on that presentation with you guys, Daniel and Leong. You'll get used to me being as hyper as just now when I'm tired. Pretty soon the whole batch will, I'm sure :) I'm anticipating breakfast in the morning Cheam. Yum yum! :) and Colin and Patrick, please don't 'volunteer' on behalf of the rest of us to become the best top batch please! pffft

Ajjrina believes in the good of others. So do I :)

but....sometimes, it just annoys me to the brim to witness how people cannot either see another person happy or contented, or just can't be happy for another. Seriously. At the same time that they cannot or choose not to be happy for you, they want to know everything about that 'happy' story. Pffft.

If they had a problem with it, why can't they just table it out and say it from the beginning. Instead some would prefer to choose to rub it in to make one feel so annoyed, one just decides to shut. Funny option to go for and at those times, given the circumstances, yup, consequences need to be weight. Especially when the whole world just don't seem to be watching that same play as you are.

I just don't understand the concept of "I feel this way, and I'd EXPECT you to know it, without me having to say anything" these days.

Smart phones can be annoying

At times like these I (sometimes, well most of the time NOT) regret reactivating my BB. Or even so, I'd regret if I were to own an iphone for that matter. As I am currently working full time, full speed and on the go on the upcoming YCM summit, the phone just doesn't stop beeping. Smart phones do come in handy, but it can also start becoming something you cannot live without in fear that you might miss that call or email from this and that company. Paranoid much?

Laju betullllll companies companies ni reply. and there goes one beep, two beeps, continuous sound of beeps and my hands will have to start typing a follow-up email in return and start setting up dates to meet up. To propose a strong convincing deal and win the case! Well, at least that shows that these companies are doing work in the office reading my email and replying immediately! :) Well to be honest, I've missed this pressure. Those times in UKEC when I had gone through so much and at the same time experienced just so much! So much for a 19 year old to experience. I am surely having fun learning and at the same time polishing up my communication skills whilst liaising with these corporate figures. Amazingly, I used to think that it would be difficult to approach them given their standing as top corporate leaders in the country and my standing as just a student, but boy was I wrong. They're such amazing people indeed! You'll feel it even more when you meet them in person. Successful, up there on the top most of the corporate ladder, yet humble and down to earth. Really, an experience that money can never buy :)

Not even a million of a million dollars!

Not funny if I end up bbm-ing with these companies/ corporate figures in the future! haha! Ok, not funny actually. It's weird.
