hey
back after another week
this week was a week of chaos and achievement.
CHAOS.
1. i freaking emo-ed through half of the week. feeling lost and lonely. it got damn bad until i "passed it on" to someone else.
2. i found out what some ppl thought of me. got damn pissed and started spewing vulgarities in the office. kinda dumb. but it never feels good to know how your good intentions transform and become interpreted into something of evil intentions.
ACHIEVEMENTS.
1. i overcame the tendency to become emo after a talk with ms tayshwuyueh. we understood how short life is, and time should not be wasted on crying over spilt milk.
fall > cry abit > get up > move on. [this will be one of my new principles]
2. i ran my first 20km. Creative Technology's Walk-a-Jog happened yesterday. my initial plan was to finish 16km. but thanks to my colleagues, they tempted me into running 20km. so i ran and ran throughout.
at 10km, my timing was 1h10mins! better than my timing during the HUMAN RACE! i was damn happy and was even more motivated to complete the remaining 10km asap.
so i ran and walked, ran and walked until the final 1km. i had a massive cramp. MY QUADRICEPS (layman's term: thighs) tensed up suddenly. immediately i had to sit down and control my breathing.
ppl from the back caught up and kept asking if i was alright. some even wanted to massage my legs for me. i had to smile to each and everyone of them, assuring them that i am alright. in the end, a first-aider came to help me up. and i completed the remaining distance limping. -.-
this 20km run is really one of my milestones. if my legs still allow, i will continue running and perhaps i'll join the standard chartered marathon next year (this year i cant because im too young...not 18 yet).

on the side note.
i feel this time i screwed up. really managed it badly.
im still waiting for you. dont misunderstand me please.

after a long break, im finally back.
big 'thank you' to eugene and jiayi for REMINDING me to update.
anyways. lots of stuffs happened during my absence.
1. INTERNSHIP AT CREATIVE TECH.
2. NIKE HUMAN RACE 10K
3. NEWEST DISCOVERY (HOW STUDENTS ARE ALWAYS STUDENTS)
intern-ed at creative for 1.5 weeks alr.
actually im enjoying myself because i really had something for creative's products. being able to "connect" with them once more brings me great joy.
im posted to WWCR (World Wide Customer Response) which means that im dealing with technical support for all the countries. however im in the team that is in charge of USA.
main jobscope: provide tech support via email.
its quite interesting to see how cranky some americans get when their product isnt functioning. more often than not, im laughing to myself while replying the mails. ppl around me should be thinking that im crazy. =X
being the WEIZI i've always been, i never liked the idea of giving lots of PR messages before dealing with the problems. im alittle worried that supervisors will get offended by my style..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the nike human race is the first running event that i ever participated in.
im not really a fan of running long distances because i cant stand the feeling of tightness in the chest as well as the lack of energy in the limbs.
after that race i realised that my stomach really controls my whole body.
during the run, my stomach started to ache for no particular reason. every step i took made me shake, it was so unbearable that i had to stop running and walk for quite some distance. thus causing my timing to be so crappy.
at the end of it, im really glad i pulled through. at least i didnt quit halfway and give myself various reasons to think it was right to quit.
more runs like that perhaps? creative is organising one and i signed up for the 8km run. 12sept i think. =)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
today i finally couldnt stand it.
i had another revelation.
when i have a revalation, it is never good. i have to always convince myself to accept the ugly side of this world.
i've never dared to defy/anger ppl of higher authority for no reason.
i always thought that everything in the PICARD should be followed by everyone at some point.
Punctuality
Initiative
Character
Attitude
Responsibility
Discipline
since the start of my internship, im really struggling to follow my principles.
if i follow them, i'll get left out.
if i dont follow them, i'll piss the senior staffs off.
i know i can control myself. but i really cant imagine myself being a loner walking up and down creative. sighs.
acceptance or principles. now i know why so many ppl fall to wrong path, the urge to be accepted is really overwhelming. once you lose self-control, you are bound to head the wrong way..
p.s. im really sorry for my lack of decisiveness. please forgive me.
