Fujifilm Polaroid

Stumbled across the net and saw this http://www.toastspree.blogspot.com/

Selling leather bags for polaroid cameras as well as albums for films.. nice albums they have. And i think they sell colourful films too! That's the main purpose i was searching for.

Promotion?

Promotion? No promotion?
Why can't i feel the differences?
If you ask me whether i'm happy abt it, hmm not really.
If you ask me whether i'm unhappy abt it, not really.

When A told me this piece of gd news, my heart sung.
Are we going to use "that way" again? Not surprising, yet another disappointment.
Why? The reasons go on and on.

The feeling is different when i was promoted to JAD back then.. it was totally different because i could feel the appreciation but not this time round. Shouldn't you make it official?

I had a chat with my good colleague, rather a friend in the company whom we often share views together. She was knocking some senses into me on our way home and i was like.. awaken by it. I think it's time to do something. I can't let him take advantage of me all the time just because i'm easy going? (Not that kind of advantage u r thinking of, btw he's a gay). He is just taking me for granted and i think i need to stop this.

I know some ppl are just waiting for things to happen. Waiting for me to be the scapegoat, to be the 1st to walk into the Tiger's cave. And the Tiger is too afraid of us and so he always ordered his subordinates to tell us. This pig (i think he's born in the yr of a pig) is always hiding behind the entrance, rather hiding behind me as well. Why are you always "pulling my back legs" (literally translated from chinese saying and it sounds funny). If i don't go in, when will i be able to stop this? It can go on and on.

We've worked out a good strategy to achieve what i want. Not in a bad way..i know it sounds like i'm habouring some evil thoughts but trust me, it's not.. i'm just trying to get the benefits i deserve.

While tweeting just now, i can feel my heart throbbing.
I think tmr is gonna be even worst.. would be equivalent to my Traffic Police test.
Wish me luck, im gonna be nervous.
Stay tuned~

Who moved my cheese?

I wouldn't say it's a COMFORT zone because its not like i'm taking lots of money and doing nothing in the office. Hell NO!

I just felt that i'm not ready to see the world.. a place that i am really on my own. A place where they just give you a project/pitch and u are left to do alone together with just a copywriter. A total mind xxxx. Can i really live up to my own expectations or rather from the new boss? I wouldn't dare to take the risk to move to somewhere where i have 10-20% of confidence and i should say i'm lack of the courage and i'm not ready to move my cheese.

When one day i feel like.. ok i think i can handle this, alone, well i'm confident enough to achieve something out from there..well, then it's time to move on.

June has left the company after working for 23 yrs. What gave her the courage? To leave somewhere where she has grown up since 20 yrs old. She has gone through days when she was still a young girl to a young adult.. and getting married and now has 2 kids in secondary schs. I can really admire her courage for stepping out of her zone. Many have felt it was incredible and unbelievable and i believe boss was least expecting it to happen but well, it happened. She said the other side really offered her quite a big and that was really an eye opener.. literally. If the offer was not so great, i wouldn't think she will jump.

When i think it's the right time.. i would do the same. Don't wanna jump to something where i have less confidence in.. And when i'm ready, i make sure it's the right choice and i won't regret it.

Never regret in my life and don't wish to.

Jewellery box

Saw this at AnBC and also at couple of places. Same design throughout. Am looking for something old school. Maybe they have it in smooth brown leather without the crocodile skin type? I saw lots of the crocodile skin type.. Looks kind of auntie.

No longer apathetic abt singapore situation

I was once an ignorant young woman who doesn't seems interested in issues like politics.. news etc. As long as it doesn't affects me.. nah i'm not interested. I'm not going to listen to anyone telling me how bad LKY and on and on. I'm bad in Maths and i'm sure most of the creatives are as well. I'm not good in Geography at all. I always have an excuse saying that i don take Geography for my O levels. "Didn't everyone take geography during lower sec?" Yes i do, a guilty smile i gave them. When ppl start talking to me about countries.. i donno a single shit. It's not about knowing individual countries but knowing the states in a country. With little general knowledge, i seemed like another young singaporean who only knows how to watch dramas and talks about branded stuff and not know what was happening around. Erm.. i do noe a bit of IT stuff if i were to squeeze in another plus point to my knowledge. I'm sure many singaporean girls are like me.

After that, my colleague who is sitting beside me pasted a world map on the wall just behind me. So every time when i wanna check out the countries/states i can go have a look and rmb them. Sometimes they would test me too! It's just too bad that i couldn't rmb some. But as time goes by.. i start to rmb some.. i hope i did. Paris in France? London in UK? San francisco part of USA? (reconfirming by looking at the world map fr google). They have actually asked a few female colleagues of my age and they are quite pathetic like me. Except some girls who actually has a globe at home that they could refer to? Or more educated parents who taught them at home? Maybe they are really interested in such things? Maybe these doesn't come across to be important for me. Maybe if i were to travel around Europe, it would be a better way to learn this fast. I've covered most of the well-known asian countries and it makes me understand them better.
Ok enough of geography... that's not the point.

I started reading yahoo news every morning when i stepped into the office because of the peer pressure that my older colleagues are giving me, saying i shld read more and be more aware of things happening. Creatives need MORE general knowledge than other ppl. I could only say..ya if u ask me things abt present situation i might noe a little more than some history/geography related stuff? The guys always tune in to Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, History Channel and NEWS. So that's the difference between the younger women and the older men. Our interests are diff at the beginning. Why did i choose to read yahoo news instead of Straits times online? Yahoo news are summarised, less dry, more casual, more entertainment news and i find it really amusing by reading the threads and comments below. And those are the real voices from singaporeans. After reading so much of it.. i started to realise that.. how am I, as a young singaporean gonna survive in my nx 10 yrs? Rising costs for HDB was one of the factors that hit me straight.

Ppl around me are getting married and suddenly i just feel like checking out the prices and layouts of the new BTO flats. Looking at the prices and hearing the money my frens had to fork out.. make my jaw dropped. Holding a calculator, calculating the 5% cash deposit/down payment they have to fork out initially, set my fingers numbed. Senior telling me...after adding all the interest etc., you are actually paying double of the original price! I chose not to believe it and asked my fren to continue the conversation. After calculating.. it was ard $700k compared to the original of $472k with 30 yrs of HDB loan. She has to borrow 5% ($23k) from her parents for the down payment and i heard she may be able to get it back after deducting from her cpf or sth like that, kinda forgotten abt it. She's getting a DBSS. Their CPF account are empty now! She told me since it's a DBSS, she will have to pay ard few hundreds gradually and eventually $1.6k a mth for max in future. She's 24 yrs old so by the time she pays off the loan.. she's already 54 yrs old. She needs to save a lot because CPF is empty and she needs to continue working till 60-65 yrs old before retirement.

Facebook as well as other social medias really plays a big part in this coming election. I have to vote this year and so i'm no longer apathetic abt sg situation. I have to read through the stuff in order for me to vote wisely. Slowly it became an addiction. Watching videos from fren's wall and sharing them across. Not only from my friends but also stuff fr other netizens fr fan pages. My wall was flooded with politics everyday. Nicole seah played a big part by politically awakening me. Speaking from a perspective of a 24 yr old.. truely voices what we, the gen y feels. That is why, she has so many supporters.

Few more days to the general election and i hope opposition parties can gain more seats in the parliament. I'm not concerned abt having fresh painted walls for my block but a voice to be heard in the parliament.
