monotonous shades
life has been rather dynamic these days. been dashing about almost everyday. running 2 events for dentsu soon. 1 conference & 1 signing ceremony. been recce-ing places for them too. and getting in touch w suppliers for corporate gifts. meanwhile been running q abit. gonna run again tom too. & meeting up with friends from all around. met dexter to run on mon, the gang couldnt make it on tue to run so ran in the gym. then headed home for dins before driving to t1 to send ling soph & friska off. gonna miss em man. sighers. wont see em for a year. GOSH. then nearly fell asleep driving home. nonetheless..singing to myself in e car, slapping myself awake, and imagining that im a f1 driver did help me get home fast nuff for bed. sup to send zhu'en off this morn at 5am but i really couldnt wake up lah. met merv for ytf today too. & had the patissier cakes thereafter. yums. gonna meet david mike enthu & sihowe tom. gonna run with e gang before that though. then fri gonna meet wong & others for dinner & ktv. woots. then sat & sun there ll be asmu retreat at sentosa.jam packed week.
today, i took a long time to head home. on my way.i started thinking alot. i came to a realization that i am actually going to step into a different phase of my life very soon. after my exchange in jan and with half a sem left in SMU proper, i am gonna be stepping into the workforce. guess being in this internship made me realize how people wish they were back in school. all my colleagues are kinda persuading me not to go into advertising. but somehow i do see a place for myself there. i do want to achieve great things. like many of them, i won't be happy being stuck as an AE, so i am determined to prove my worth in due time. if this is really what i want, i will fight for it no matter how much it takes. just like how much i really want to complete my marathon, or how much i really want my exchange to happen, or even how much i really wanted to be skinny in the past. the crux of these matters lie in the heart; how much am i willing to put myself in them.
i cant say for sure that advertising is DEFINITELY right for me. but i will never know till i try. perhaps after this internship i will have a better idea, and that can steer me in the ideal direction.maybe after graduation & after working in this field for some time, i will find that advertising is something that i really cant do for the rest of my life. am i going to stick to it just cause i have been doing things related to it or cause i have been telling my friends of my passion in this field? hell no! it will be ridiculously foolish to do that. one of those things i am thankful for in SMU is how they nurture us into adaptable individuals who can survive well in changing environments. so even if advertising is really not for me, i can plunge my head elsewhere & perhaps that will be really what i want to do. yeah. guess that's my take on life right now.
louis recommended me this awesome shopping site. omg addicted now. (:
