God, teach me what to do next.

It has been quite awhile since i last blogged.

Time really flies, its MAY already which means to say i have been into the workforce for close to 5 months already. Work has been a toil to me recently, because of the company's uncertainties and partly because of the workload which im facing. Initially i really enjoyed advertising, helping to build brands and all, figuring out the various industries. but now that im given one huge ass project, i feel constraint and tied down, not being able to explore others. have been working till 11plus everyday, which makes me wonder if all these are worth the efforts of staying up late just to complete them.

My parents have been saying why not just find a simple 9am to 6pm job and paying me the same amount. but sometimes i am afraid to just quit and regret. and yet should i stay on and trust the company?

I really dont know but to put everything into the potter's hands and hanging onto Jeremiah 29:11.

What is advertising

In marketing and advertising, real power comes from the ability to create or “invent” a perceived value for the service, product or message. To do so successfully you need to develop empathy, and apply it over the wants of the audience. Value drives everything.

It is the second day of chinese new year and im already sick of eating, its really mindless festive eating which makes you eat regardless of you feeling hungry or not. There are honey crackers, bakkwa, pineapple tarts in every household.

anyways, this year's new year is a nice time to catch up with relatives whom we haven met for awhile and i have enjoyed myself during the 4 days break. just sad that good things come to an end as i have to be back at work tml despite the office being closed. but ohwells i just have to do it.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! 恭喜发财, 事事順利!

I'll build you a fire

Life have been passing really fast lately. January seems to be coming to an end really soon. Have been in my job for 3 weeks. Starting to look at advertising in a new perspective and it is a really fast-moving and dynamic environment. and that is where i start to think if working in an advertising industry would be suitable for me. been thinking alot lately, but unable to come into a conclusion.

sometimes i feel happy, sometimes i feel motivated, sometimes i feel sad, sometimes i feel angry, sometimes i feel excitied, sometimes i feel discouraged, sometimes i feel... however all these show in my face. emotions, tame down.

2012 - New Start

This year I have,

- turned 21

- graduated

- travelled to Genting, BKK, China, Batam

- run OHDEEDUP for a year

- lead Gkids for a year too

- baked and cooked

- made some new friends

- handled my finances v poorly

- made some mistakes and screwed things up

- started to find a full-time jobs

I felt like 2011 has been challenging for me, many times it felt like i am moving forward 3 steps and falling 2 steps back down. However there were happy times, being closer with friends and family and I am glad to have them by my side. There might be times where I grumble and whine alot, tears and frustrations, but I want to thank God for sustaining me through and making me stronger.

As 2012 approaches, let a stronger and calmer me take it on. It is a year of transition into working life, Jesus, take the wheel.

Christmas came home to us

This year christmas was slightly different from the past few years. I dont really know why, but maybe cause dad bought the christmas tree and added to the 'christmasy feel' Presents wrapped, placed under the christmas tree, festive goodies, good food, playing Michael Buble's Christmas Album, blissful :) it was a great time spending with family and friends ♥♥♥♥

• Candylicious Christmas Party with Cellgroup
• Studio M Hotel Stay with my fav. girls
• Brunch @ Kith Cafe
• Christmas service with Shirley
• Christmas caroling with Gkids

Besides all of these, We are the reason for this Christmas.

As little children we'd dream of Christmas morn
And all the gifts and toys we knew we’d find
But we never realized a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

We are the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the years went by we learned more of our gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying in the rain
Because of love
Because of love

Have a merry little Christmas everyone!
