Going into sales from Mediacorp was a very natural progression for me. I joined ArtPrint Media as an Asst Sales Manager from late October 07 to 12th March 08. ArtPrint Media was a very young design and print company with a brand new management and almost none of its staff more than 4 months old. They had a team of designers, sales executives as well as a very inexperienced production crew.

Over the few months that I was there, the sales team brought in clients such as Carrefour, City Chain, Gramophone & serviced existing clients such as Chomel & Munchy Donut among others. I knew the potential the company had and stayed despite the inexperience of the management and their constant hick-ups.

However, from December to March, the company has been late in paying their employees almost every month. Our pay for December was only paid on the 26th of January 2008. Almost an entire month late. That means that I celebrated Christmas and New Year's with barely any money. That was the most inconsiderate and I thought unforgiveable sin an employer could commit.

This is the post that I've been wanting to write for so long. I've even thought of the title. But now I'm not even going to use it. Its just been so crazy around here. My last day at work was last Tuesday and I started my new job on Wednesday. I've haven't had any time to even think about it. On my last day though, I do remember feeling a sense of disbelief that I was leaving after 2 years (2 years already?!) and that I had to take everything since I wasn't coming back.

I've learnt so much working there. Gained really valuable experiences that I'll take with me for life. I'll also like to think that I've grown alot working there, so much more than the previous job. Working in media's really fun and dynamic but also really tough so I guess I should be proud that I survived it. I'm gona miss being a part of it, no matter how small. Especially the perks. :p

Moving on though, my life has been a little hectic and training for my new job has been so new and intense. Even though the working hours are easier, the pressure to make it is high. I want to. I have to. Trying to get my priorities right and juggling what my heart or mind wants is so hard. To make things better/worst(?), I'm in a relationship(?) that's uncertain and scary all at the same time. It almost really is just one day at a time.

A few weeks ago, somebody a sked me how my week was and I had had such an insane week, that I couldn't help but laugh. Right there and then. She probably thought I was mad.

Wish me luck cause I'm gona need it.

A bunch of friends and I went to Bintan 2 weekends ago. We stayed at the Indra Maya Villas with a view of the South China Sea. It's really not as modern or luxurious as it looks on the website but it was spacious, homey and comfortable. The villa also had a private pool where we saw the most amazing sunset. Pity I didn't take any pictures of it as I was in the water but it was really beautiful.

We spent 2 whole days by the pools, the beach, the jacuzzi. (Got sunburnt!) I also got to drive everyone around in the buggy which was hella fun. On the 2nd day, we even did some kayaking. And I was swimming in the sea when I saw a jellyfish right beside me and nearly freaked out. It was awesome though! I'll go again in a heartbeat. If money and time permits.

I didn't fall in love or anything. I just got played. Got taken for an emotional rollercoaster I never intended and had no control over. And it really fucking sucks. I feel like one of those stupid guys that girls fool cuz they're bored or just cuz they can. I guess I should be grateful that Bel understood completely and broke it down for me. Yeah, she can spell 'sucker' in 25 different ways! Don't ask me how. This will probably go down in history as her favorite joke. I guess I should be glad that someone finds this whole thing amusing.
