26 June, 2007 - Ms Social Butterfly wannabe in Dragonfly

I feel so proud of myself today..like i have a little accomplishment by my own set standard..the director and my manager had a little meet up session wif me, he promised that i will get my Q2 incentives even though i am in the probabtion period...though i noe it's not going to be alot since the sales figures for Q2 were bad..but best of all, he promised to give me '100% meet the budget' for Q3 even though Q3 is going to be bad because "the team has good opinion of you and you are doing well.." :)) it's really like a little pat on my shoulder for all the efforts and time i invested here. Wah i feel so heady and happy the whole day after that even though i have this strange feeling that he might be saying it for the sake of saying it but nevermind la, wun die to hear nice stuff heehee

Had meeting the whole day and then dinner wif our suppliers at a Japanese restaurant in St. James. Half the dishes were beef and i ate only chicken and mushrooms keke The meat are served raw and we bbq them over a little stove fired by charcoal..best part is we don't smell stinky after dinner surprisingly.

Proceeded to Dragonfly (again..) for drinks. HS Loo (Penang), Tiyaporn (Thailand), Raymond (Philippines), Shirley, Sarah, KH and me finished a bottle of hard liquer..maybe it's the heavy dinner but i am amazed that after my 7th cup of drinks, i can still stay alert and PR..KH kept asking me to bottoms up wif the guys.. "hey build relationships wif these people, they are going to be very helpful in your work and career" yak yak yak buay tahan, sibeh ali...i feel like a Ms Butterfly flitting around in Dragonfly. But then again, KH is right, it's important to have that personal touch in all relationships. During dinner cum entertainment tonight, i suddenly feel "alive" and excited. It's like i found my PR switch..i remembered why i like regional marketing..because i get to meet people from with different work culture and basically, i think i still prefer to work wif men..or women who have just a little wee bit more male hormones than the typical women typically the guniang types. (oh must emphasize that i cannot stand insecure people feeding of others by making them feel lousy) I might have found a balance to PR without being "fake", can still hala hala and be straight forward..so essentially that's not considered fake haha talking cock again

Happy day..momentarily forgot about "so many people leaving" episode..then got reminded again cos i had to sign on 3 farewell cards put in a paper bag. First time in my career i am signing 3 farewell cards TOGETHER..and i ended up writting the same wishes for all 3 cards...how uninspiring..

PS. If there is ever an emotional thermometer, i think mine will show very sharp cyclic chain. Up and down very fast before i can spell "wait"
