Drained...

Goshdarnittohell! My colleagues stumbled upon my blog! If you are reading this, you know who you are. All my angst and disgusting self-indulgent rantings.... (like this one) will be known! Oh woe is me... *put back of hand to forehead and swoons*

Oh, who the heck cares?! I don't.

Life has been nothing but one project after another, one press release after another, one more deck and another and another and ANOTHER! And the worst thing is that I have to do other people's work, despite numerous reminders for them to take more responsibility, despite the fact that we agreed to split up work and yet all of it still lands in my lap! Why must I take responsibility for someone else's work? They say it's called being a grown up, I call it being a bloody stupid, naive sucker.

As though I don't have enough work already, as though I have not been pushing 16 hours a day for the past 3 weeks and 14 hours a day for the past 5! And coming in to weekends as well! Why is it that she gets to go off gallavanting and I'm stuck here? Is it fair? Hell no! But can I do anything about it? Sure, QUIT. Like someone like to say, "if you can't take the heat, get out". I'm that close to saying to hell with it all. I feel like one of those lava vents under the sea, pumping out boiling water but no one knows or see because I'm just a tiny dot in the vast ocean.

I really feel like blowing up, like hurling a chair through the window and watching it plummet 11 storeys down and crashing into someone's Civic or Accord.

If it weren't for my AE coming in tomorrow, I think I would have.

I feel really, really tired...

New year, new promotion

Yeah, I got promoted. I'm a PR Consultant now. It's the equivalent as an Account Manager in the advertising industry. They promoted me in December last year but I forgot to blog about it until now. Hey, I'm busy and blogging no longer resides in my priority list.

It used to be something I did everyday and sometimes I would blog a couple of times a day. But no longer. I realised that I was using blogging to vent my feelings that I could not do otherwise. I didn't want to vent to my friends because to be honest, I didn't want their opinions. I just wanted to tell the world how I felt without being judge. I realised now, how childish and immature that was.

I've started keeping a journal again to write my deepest, darkest, angsy thoughts and feelings. I've forgotten how nice it was to physically scratch pen to paper. It's almost like using a fountain pen to pen a letter on onion paper to a penpal. Ahh... the good old days. Haha.

A nightmare or a premonition?

Black columns of billowing smoke rises above what was once a city. Now, it bears little semblance to the once vibrant towers of prosperity. Beneath the scorched skies, lie bits of debris; debris comprising of steel, cement and human flesh. Home’s a wasteland, a basin of death and decay. The aftermath seems serenely silent, seemingly innocent to the blinded. Slowly, a hand, an arm then a head gingerly pushes through the rubble. Dazed and dying, battered bodies begin to emerge from where they had fallen. A bone-chilling scream splits the heavy air like a knife. A mother holds her child to her bloody bosom, her charred head bowed in grief, and later both bodies bowed in death.

Do you see death? Do you see forgiveness? Do you even care…?

Event's done but PR still dragging

Lord, I'm so tired. It's a fucking holiday today and I'm in at work. NO ONE else in in here. I was also working last Saturday and Sunday. I'm not sure how long I can last like this. My body is already telling me to stop. Eversince the AJTT project, I've been suffering gastric problems and now it's worse. I feel nausea for no reasons from time to time. And I eat so little these days. Example: A medium set of McD's Fillet O'Fish. I finish the fries and that's it, I can't go anymore. What the hell, man... And the most stooopid thing is that I'm no thinner for it! I ask you, is that injustice or what? I suffer and I suffer for nothing.

Anyway, this is just a ranting session. The whole of the 10 days stationed at the press centre was damn exhausting. I run the Press Centre for 10am - 10pm, on top of that I continue with my PR duties of writing press releases and getting them out. Then I still had to write the MC scripts for every single day. And every day there is a different activity and there are multiple activities and the retailers are so slack in giving me info that I do all of the research myself, rather than wait for them. And if they do give me the info, it's usually 3 hours before the event starts. Bleeding idiots. On top of that. I have to brief the MC every evening and sometimes I have to stay on to see that everything is ok. Then, after that, I go back up to the press centre and work resumes for me until 2 - 3am in the morning, churning out press releases and what nots. I've not had a weekend or a day to myself to rest since the end of the 10 day event.

I've been so busy and tired that I don't have the energy to meet up with anyone. For that I apologise to you, if you're reading this, Friend.

The only good thing is that I'm going to Cambodia tomorrow for a couple of days and I'm so switching off my roaming on my mobile phone.

crashing echos
I believe our biggest issue is the same biggest issue that the whole world is facing, and that's habitat destruction.
~ Steve Irwin ~

I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.
~ Steve Irwin ~

I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.
~ Steve Irwin ~

See, I've always seen Jacques Cousteau as a hero, mate. He's a legend - like my dad, just a legend. And so what he did for conservation in the '60s through the '70s was just phenomenal. ~ Steve Irwin ~

The reason I love the sea I cannot explain -- it's physical. When you dive you begin to feel like an angel. It's a liberation of your weight.
~ Jacques-Yves Cousteau ~

~ André Tchelistcheff ~

Blinding ignorance does mislead us. O! Wretched mortals, open your eyes!
~ Leonardo Da Vinci ~

Many have made a trade of delusions and false miracles, deceiving the stupid multitude.
~ Leonardo Da Vinci ~

Sometimes our lives are not what they seem, Sometimes things aren't like they are in lifestyle magazines, We see what we want to see, in this miracle of clay.
~ Suede ~

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation.

Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion.
~ Francis Bacon ~

When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or our family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument.
~ Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh ~

Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.
~ Henry Ford ~

Anger as soon as fed is dead - 'Tis starving makes it fat.

Don't you wish there were a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence? There's one marked 'Brightness,' but it doesn't work.
~ Gallagher ~

Leave it to a girl to take the fun out of sex discrimination.

Of war men ask the outcome, not the cause.
