okay okay i heard voices of complaints and questionings.

"why is that jasmine tay topped in all 3 awards for sms?"
"wth!! you mean you've been chatting with alex everyday?"
"why my name aint there?"
".........."

hahahas let me explain...

jas sms me everyday, day or night. i spent over 10 smses with her everyday. definitely no one can beat her record on that. so she deserves all three awards.

no matter how busy they are, joyce and alex will always chat with me in msn every monday to friday in the office.

got shocked with the mentioning of alex's name? heh hehs... he's a good chatter in msn alright. surprisingly we can chat more stuffs compared to some other contacts in my msn list.

dont be surprised if your name is not found there even if you do think you should. msn wise, is based on number of times online and chatting with me. sms wise, the most number in that period. ITP meetups-er wise, i simply cant list out everyone right. so just dragged out afew more often kinds.

been enjoying my ITP with lots of freedom. drink at least 2 cups of coffee/tea/milo everyday with biscuits till i got so heaty. trying to quit eating biscuits but the drinks are essential. just brought my packet of green tea leaves there to force myself to drink it to digest the fats that i'd accumulated for the past 1 month.

all left, i'm alone in the marketing department in singapore. handled all kinds of things - so far did:
+ calculating of corporate gifts in preparation to courier to europe and vietnam

+ printing of resumes urgently since there'll be no one left in the marketing department after my departure

+ "building" an internal library, basically for the use of marketing intelligence (most tedious work of all currently)

+ sent files and datas over to partner IBM and eileene (mentioned earlier, she's actually in malaysia, our marketing manager over there)

+ sent quotations back to design company for issuing of invoices and sent invoices to finance department to process for payment

+ packed marketing materials for europe all by myself (including 80 annual reports, just imagine how heavy is everything)

+ entering of databases into our CRM software

+ helped out in designing short survey and tabulating of results

+ new assignment: basically doing internal research on "brand" with surveys and report to be done

cool ITP right?! i'm so glad to be attached to this company at times, though it's rather messy for some parts. but i've been reminding myself of how lucky i am, compared to others. at least i've got few great returns:

> nice boss who's got such a tight schedule yet cares for me. since he's vice president of asia pacific sales in this global-wide company, he has to fly around for business. yet, he'll always take a morning walk around the office to have a small chat with every single staff, including me! whenever he checks on my log book, he'll add in more points and even taught me extra things that even i dont get to study in school. example: ACID test.

> nice colleagues who chat and smile to me and will always offer help whenever i need

> lots of freedom since boss is always not around. even if he's there, he dont dropby to check on me more than 3 times a day

> got the whole department to my own: personal computer, desk, nice sceneries since it's at 28th floor of suntec

> get to do multi-tasking which i prefer

> 2 pantries for me to make my coffee/tea/milo and have biscuits everyday

> exceed lunch hour but no one scolds me

> listen to discsman even if boss passes by

> friends drop by often to accompany me since i'm in city area

seriously, i am fortunate. and i felt so loved and blessed with having so many nice friends around me. especially jas who dont mind making the turn and will always come down lunch with me before going baycourt, making me feel lonely no more during lunch.

and my LO's a great person too! he even lame with me when he came to visit me during ITP. he's darn funny. even claimed that he'll talk to my boss if he gives me less than B grade. wahahahs. praying hard for an A!!!
