Counting Down

Spending way too much these days. Food, apparels, gadgets, skincare & the list goes on. Not forgetting the money I’m gna spend this summer break. Gna be so broke when the semester start. &without me knowing it will soon be grad trip. Ugh. Now, I need to think of ways to save up for grad trip. Not to mention, I’m not yet done with my “to buy” list. Hello camera, I need to get my hand on you soon.

Anw, 20 working days more to end of internship. Yes, 20 working days sound better than 1 month. HAHA. Ways of motivating yourself to go to work every morning. So yes, I’m all excited to end internship! Not that I’m not enjoying work, but I really want to just be a couch potato! SLOTHHHHHH. Haha.

Speaking of which, I need to send in my claims soon. Otherwise, I’ll never ever get them. $200plus bucks on cab solely. Oh dear OT, please don’t do this to me for the rest of my internship. &yes, my elog. Should start doing them & have them sent to the tutor this week. Otherwise, I foresee an email coming my way.
 

Skincare

Recently got myself a bottle of SKII Treatment Essence & about to get my hands on Kose Medicated Sekkisei Sun Protector & Laneige White Plus Renew White Mate. Gosh, the amount of money spent on all these facial products. (Ka-ching Ka-ching, gone!)

Ohwell, I guess they are worth the investment. Afterall, I wouldnt want sagging skins when I’m older. So yes, money well-spent! HAHA. 

Something to share (okay, more of a note to myself). 

Chance upon this skincare regime on the web, & decided to give it a try. Have been following it religiously for the past 1 month, and yes, I do see much improvement although my dark eyes circles are still bothering me. So any products to recommend?

The 5 step regime:
1. Double Cleansing: Cleansing your skin with makeup remover and cleanser before going to sleep.

2. Message & Mask: Apply facial mark at least 2-3 times a week after cleansing, at night. (Do not leave it overnight!)

3. Tone: Toner helps to remove dead skin cells & residue from your cleansers.

4. Essence: Put this on before your moisturizers. Allow your skin to absorb the essence for at least 5 mins before applying your moisturizer.

5. Moisturize

-

6. Sunblock (in the day): Apply sunblock 20mins before heading out of home. Yes, apply them even if you’re gna stay indoor the whole day!

A little go a long way I guess. So start taking care of your skin while you’re young.

To get through

“Every mistakes made is worse off than the previous.”

I seriously wonder when will i stop making these g’damn mistakes over & over again. &for goodness sake all these mistakes involve money. Here we are are not talking about ten or hundreds of dollars. It’s thousands! Ugh.

Someone once said that problems that can be solved with money aren’t problem. Really? But, how well does this actually reflect on my working capabilities.

Starting to dread what I’m doing. This is definitely a job I can’t see myself doing in the future.

Numbers, numbers, & more numbers. &the one thing I dread is exactly numbers. (pretty much explain why I can’t do math for nuts. Then again, I can’t think of anything I can do well. FAILURE.)

The stress level is increasing at an exponential speed. I can hardly catch my breathe. Piling workload, never ending request. Really, can I just clear them off my plate before being asked to do anything?

3 months, just 3 more months. From how I’m actually liking the job, to how I’m dreading it so damn much. I really can’t wait to get over & done with this. &i must say this probably is my worst working experience thus far. Or probably the worst period of my 22 years! &no, I’m not exaggerating. I’ve never, I repeat, never, dread something this much & feeling so damn stress that it’s affecting my goddamn appetite & failing my body.

Argh. Hang on, just hang on. &for goodness sake, quit making mistakes that can be avoided should I be more careful.

Ongoing process.

11 weeks into PI, almost hitting the half way mark.

The past 11 weeks have been an eye-opener for me. It definitely set me thinking about my future. What it is that I exactly want, what actually suit me best. Yet to find the answer I want, but one thing I’m sure; I’m not settling for anything that will have me desk-bound.

Sure it sound stupid. Cause c’mon, isn’t that the nature of most jobs? But I really can’t see myself doing that. I need a job that allows me to be out of office. Perhaps not on a daily basis, but at least once a week? (That’s somewhat enough to keep me going, really). &most importantly, it must be something I enjoy doing. Cause passion is the one that keeps you going at the end of the day. Money may be important in the beginning, but when you get worn out, I guess passion is the only thing that you can comfortably fall back on for the much needed assurance and strength. This, I strongly believe.

Workload is increasing, &I seriously can’t wait for the new executive to be in. At least this will help ease the workload a little? Cause at some point, work really stress me to breaking point. Incompetency, maybe. But I’m truly thankful for the exposure that the team is giving me. How they allow me to experience the work of an executives, and how they trust me to liaise with the media owners and creatives. It really give me a better idea of how a media agency work, first-hand.

I’m looking forward to what the next 13 weeks will bring. Sure it gna be stressful, but I guess I just got to learn to cope with it all. Only then will I grow and learn. (:

On a sidenote, I’m looking forward to GSS Korea this summer. However, I really need to get down settling those admin stuff. But before that, the school need to approve the courses. Ugh.

I’m really excited about traveling around Korea. It’s rich heritage and culture, distinctive architectures, scenic landscapes, food, & KPOPPPPPPPPP! :D Haha. All excited to explore the country. (:

&perhaps a short trip with K before the semester starts? Seriously, why not? Before fyp reality hits me hard when the sem starts, getaways sure gna help. LOL. But really, traveling with the bro may not be that bad an idea. It’s good to have such awesome companion who I can be so comfortable with. (:

To end this off,

Hello my precious weekend,
Please don’t pass by in a blink of an eye.
Yours truly. 

Perhaps work is too stressful for me. Dreams revolve around work these days. Excel worksheets, clients/media owners’ email, and endless call made. Not to mention, I actually woke up in shock thinking I’m late for work on a Saturday morning. Oh life.

Work-life balance, where are you? ):
