been wondering if I’ve bitten off more than I can chew this time… yes, yes it’s so cliched, but I’m too tired to think of anything else. In the next 2 weeks, I will need to have:

-designed 2 posters, 1 banner and 3 newsletters;
-found out how to set up and distribute said 3 newsletters to 3 different audiences;
-received quotes and overseen the installation for above posters and banner;
-asked for and received at least 3 design proposals and vetted these proposed proposals; -hantam-ed my vendor for not doing a good job and overseen his rectification, if he even decides to do it at all, and I got no heart to hantam him coz he looks so 沧桑 all the time;
-overseen the last banner being put up;
-thought up a new design for the big ‘tree’;
-proposed and set up at least 3 new promos;
-set up all the new collaterals for the existing places;
-dreamt up the proposal for the next vm;
-bought all materials for said vm and set up proposal
-redone the last 2 sentences if proposal is not accepted
-collate all orders for further collaterals
-tested daily and resolved the website forms issue
-tested daily and resolved my colls’ email problems (tho why this is my problem, i know not)
-completed data-entry and mailers for the crm which averages 100/week

yes, in the next 336 hours, I will need to have done all of the above, plus

-the usual twice a week visits (they are a must!);
-daily phone calls;
-last minute design requests from those over-grown babies;
-as well as watch TV (for which my boss will growl at me) but I miss watching 康熙 and I will sulk if I don’t see 小康 at least once a week ;
-consider whether to watch Transformers and give up considering due to lack of time and money;
-play D2 an hour a day because I stupidly got myself hooked again;
-try to download and play Granada Espada;
-try to pass by a CD shop and fork out money for my Lao Da’s new CD+DVD;
-do research for my yet-to-be-decidednew buys (NDSL? PSP? Sony W200? SLR? Digital?);
-shop for new shoes, clothes and bags before GST and NETs charges increase (jac very kiang leh, fast leg fast hand);
-suffered through the decision that will determine my as-yet unknown future as a confirmed member of this company;
-and try to sleep at least 5 hours daily

I wonder when the renovation works for the other 3 places will start.

Not that it’s not fun playing catchup, since after these 2 weeks, I will look forward to (if I’m not half-dead by then) the JUMP lucky draw (must we go to J8 again??? IMM nearer better wat), Jacky’s concert, and 2 HP events: movie and book. I’ve already changed Sat schedules with my coll so’s I can go collect the book early (7am!) on sat and read it alllll the way through the weekend. I’m still wondering if I should take the Monday off, just in case. Half-Blood Prince already took me 3 days without sleep.

also need to play catchup on the geek world. I seem to have left it far far behind leh. Haven’t been to SLS for months already, and I only went to Funan 2 weeks ago after duno-how-long. Miss it leh, looking at and drooling all the gadgets and thingys that you want but you can’t have, checking out prices, adding, subtracting, planning and finally deciding ‘bo lui la, mai buay’. So far, am still totally clueless on the console scene, but I really do WANT one, key word being WANT, to entertain me during 2-hour long journeys.

Now the warring factions, namely SH and Jac, have made me torn between PSP (bigger screen, mp3s and video! but not so many cutesy games) and NDSL (got more cutesy games and RPGs! but screen so small and who wants to use a stylus to dududu at a small screen? want to dududu muz be like zhen jie, du liao money come!)

I need a new camera as well, seeing that my FujiFinepix may have decided to conk out 4 months before the proposed tokyo trip (autumn leh!). still undecided about what brand to buy, altho the latest Sony ones are not bad (NOT the T20 though!!) and they use MSPD! My W850i and my future PSP can form 1 family liao. But I don’t want to buy into the whole brand thing just yet, so still must think think abit.

Oh and I still haven’t installed Ubuntu yet! I am SO not going to make it even as a Level 1 geek.  Must up at least 10,000 experience points or so I thk.
And so, the catchup story goes on and on and on…

I’m missing this again. and it’s strangely very early this year. 2 weeks before the event, everything on the website is still blinking “Coming Soon”. Maybe not knowing who’s performing makes it easier

June 27th 1.00am ~ and now qh tells me Paul is going for it. first i miss 500 in taipei, now i miss Paul in HHY. naaabeeeehhhh I think I should stop chasing after MD… why waste money on a bunch of kids when I can waste it on 2 men…OOPS!!!! i need a shrink, who can help me?

cb face # 1 smiled at me today, voluntarily, early in the morning. *thunder and lightning*   i thk my face froze when i tried to smile back…lucky never trip and fall down.

cb face # 2 came over to me to talk abt work, and she joked with me, and even pushed me a little while laughing. *thunder, lightning, tsunami, earthquake and volcano* nabeh, thk she tio gong tao.

こわい !!!!!! something very very weird is going on in the office…i scared. *sniff sniff*

so, I’m either going to strike few-million-dollar-TOTO or 4d or whatever (and I will believe in miracles then because I do not buy, nor do I know how to buy TOTO and/or 4D) or going to pick up $3000 from the ground this weekend or i’m gonna get heartily chewed up into minced meat and spat out as dog food by my boss.

got to partner the boss in the stock take next week. 3-mth probation review coming up in 2 weeks. my senior didn’t manage to pass hers 2 weeks ago.  so much lesser chance for me??

Unfortunately I thk my good luck quota for the next 3 mths kena used up by the 2 cb-face-encounters, because I met a sales guy today, damn he was cute and works right across the road, but got no chance to work with him.

so everybody wish me luck. blessings required here.

nabeh, i hate dealing with idiots with no construction know-how but still want to ya-ya… where got give photos until like that???  might as well send them a bloody 3-d model of the entire shop…siao eh.

I won my first ever real-life mahjong game last weekend! even though my flowers escaped to my lao da’s shirt 80% of the time! so cool i actually managed to win. thanks to the expertfor all your lessons *lubya*  must continue coaching me, k?

i need something else to occupy my mind on mindless train rides back and forth between Boon Lay and Eunos.  As i stood my way back on 2 aching feet earlier this evening, listening to WAES, flashes of JUMP came and went, especially the part where the 5 of them 4 of them were stomping their boots against the floor    I’d like to see that again.

unbelivable, June is almost half over.  and in 16 days time, we will have made it half-way through 2007.

in another 2 months, I will have reached my life’s half-way mark (assuming I even make it to 70).

i have not achieved anything that would make my ancestors proud.  I haven’t achieved anything that would make me proud. 

i fucking need more time!
