will be going for a dental appointment tomorrow, hopefully the dentist will extract my wisdom tooth/teeth and i will be on medical leave for the rest of the week~! still thinking if i should extract 1 or both, the teeth is really irritating me. i can imagine my swollen cheeks. i only have ONE book to pass me by, i have no time to get another! hope this will be a good rest for me as well, have been working far too hard...i'm getting burnt out soon.
please wish me luck as well, can't imagine the pain of extraction!
somebody, give me a new job.

my first project, amore women's day out is finally over. it was thoroughly an enriching experience for the past 3 months, i have learnt alot during this period (and also lost a fair bit of sleep and social life). working in events, in this company has humbled me alot. no more the princess in me, without lifting a finger to do the littlest of things. working in events is really TIRING, and zero glam factor. trust me, whatever they show in the movies is purely FOR SHOW.
at the same time, i have gotten to know many many people whom i may not have gotten a chance to meet had i not ventured into events, and this is something i am grateful for. i have received words of thanks from my partners which is probably the only job satisfaction i get out of working in this company. people that you have been liaising actually make the effort to meet you at the event to get to know you - a definite a feel-good experience. this is called real trust and teamwork.
i realised that working requires a GREAT deal of trust between you and people. so many things are agreed upon without actual meetups and things still eventually fall into place, making the whole journey a smooth one. this i think, needs an good deal of trust, i find it actually remarkable that in this dog-eat-dog world, people need each other in order to maintain social order. this is real sociology - trust is a social glue!
i have much to say during my 3 month project, but also much much more to learn as well. learning is a never-ending process and it really depends on the learner. i feel sad that i am getting jaded abit too early...perhaps i should have never started working so soon. well, i guess i have to make the best out of it now. it is now also time to think through the pros and cons of staying in this company, in this line...
