我的長假...終于要結束了

生活總有走不下去之時
在苦尋出路的日子里,
就當是放自己一個長假,
在悠悠假期里累積能量,
然後, 重新出發.

我的長假...終于要結束了.
有點捨不得和擔憂
畢竟, 休息了好一段時間
在新環境里可以勝任嗎？
希望我可以學習許多新環境里得到的新知識 .

She's back!

Of late, Ms C is back to haunt me through emails...

Firstly, when the inaugural issue of the newsletter was published, she wrote this nice thank you email to me and another colleague:

I am very pleased to see the inaugural issue of XYZ Bridge. It is a well written and design piece of communication. Good work and thanks for the effort both of you have put in for this newsletter. I would like to see a hard copy of the newsletter, can you please send me one.

Next she wants a copy of the updated marketing calendar:

Thanks for the update, Agnes. Yes, pls look for alternative collaboration opportunities with ABC to promote our japan titles. How's everything going along over your end? Please send me a copy of the marketing calendar updated mtd.

Well no one is indispensible in a company. I guess Ms C seriously thinks she truly adds value to the organisation. Ignorance but then again what does she know? Lol...

王力宏蓋世英雄演唱會，21 October 2006

It was a night of extravagant musical lineup. Lee Hom displayed his talents on the guitar, piano, violin, drums and er hu, giving his audience a short unplugged acoustic set '不要害怕', '大城小愛' and 'WHY' followed by piano crooning ballads like '一首簡單的歌' and '流淚手心'.

I was totally mesmerised and captivated by his violin performance.... Love theme from 新天堂乐园

Indeed a multi-instrumentalist and performer.

Burnt weekend :(

Thought I could enjoy my weekend but sadly no... Need to work on a huge marketing plan - an interview assignment which is due next friday.

Please put together a trade show marketing promotion plan within the allocated budget that ensures:
· An eye catching booth, featuring the survey
· Promotional communications for potential attendees at the show to ensure details of the survey reach the widest Singaporean HR audience possible
· Leads are generated at the show, fulfilled, followed-up and tracked
· HR professionals interested in the survey have the opportunity to meet with ABC company face to face at the event to learn about the findings

The plan should include:
· The objectives of trade show attendance and how they will be measured
· All the logistics you would need to co-ordinate to ensure all deliverables in time for the trade show
· Ideas for the trade show stand
· Communications pre and post event
· How you would organise colleagues and suppliers to achieve the launch objectives

Though tedious, I will try my best for this presentation. If its His Will, I am sure the job will be mine.

Hopefully the much-anticipated long weekend Deepavali and Hari Raya Puasa I will get some precious time to myself.

Why dream of love, when love has died...

Staged to coincide with the IMF in September 2006, Forbidden City: Portrait of an Empress ended its run yesterday.

A historical retelling of the story of China's Empress Dowager, the story is seen from the eyes of an American painter, Kate Carl, who is commissioned to paint the Empress' portrait.

The Empress recounts her amazing journey from a young imperial concubine to become the Empress of China and the pressures she faced. The musical explores the myths surrounding her reign, from the controversial death of her only son to her ambitious tussle for power.

This musical number captured my heart....

Why dream of love?

Is this what eyes were never meant to see
The end of hope and all it meant to me
How can I find the strength to carry on another day
Without my pride there’s nothing left to say
Is this the way my life was meant to be?

Too late for me to say that I was wrong
Perhaps the weak believe that they are strong
I thought that if I tried I’d find a way to earn their trust
Yet all I’ve know and loved has turned to dust
It seems there was no way I could belong

The fire that burns within your heart
The pain that tears your life apart
The rain that falls from broken skies
The love I lost beneath the lies
And must I face the truth alone?
Is this the end of all I’ve known?
The years I gave, the tears I’ve cried
Why dream of love, when love has died…

I know one day the story will be told
And in the end the secrets will be sold
And will they look at me and say I should have known the end
Perhaps I did but why should I pretend?
I only dreamed of love, and growing old…

The fire that burns within your heart
The pain that tears your life apart
The rain that falls from broken skies
The love I lost beneath the lies
And must I face the truth alone?
Is this the end of all I’ve known?
The years I gave, the tears I’ve cried
Why dream of love, when love has died…

The years I gave, the tears I’ve cried
Why dream of love, when love has died…
