Fix me

So it’s Sunday...
Since yesterday, you’ll see me slogging over the computer, trying to finish a PowerPoint presentation for tomorrow with a nagging headache. (Quite used to that pain now.. it’s there- the first to greet me every morning)
Never thought that having PowerPoint and Photoshop skills are essential in my job. Think Wenting will be very proficient with them (she’s in charge of all our school projects’ PowerPoint and she did a few WCP projects with Photoshop) And now, I’m spending ages experimenting with the damned applications.

So work isn’t that smooth…
Beside the fact that perfect colleague/s is/are leaving, being bemused about your job scope and trying hard to take in as much new things as possible- aren't as easy as I thought.
For a start, I am a Brands-idiot (Be it Car, Fashion or Watch), a moron with business news and have zero knowledge/ creativity when come to fashion show productions (after all, I’m more of an Amazing Race ‘planner’)…
Trying to learn everything by myself- are not easy. It doesn’t help when the company is on a hectic pace with those back-to-back events/shows for the past month. Everyone is moving fast and I am the only one in slow motion… Interrupting their hectic pace to clear my questions seem to be selfish and irritating~ although my colleagues are always more than happy to help.

And with the flu bug plaguing me for the past days, it’s been a real struggle to get by each day. I started to yearn badly for someone by my side… to fight the blues with me.. Gosh… Can get real emotional and teary easily these days….
But I’m fighting to hold my emotions down… Cos this moment of vulnerability is luring me to make hasty decisions…
I’ll be holding the fort bravely… I know that I’ll get by the tough and uncertain ‘apprentice’ days… Soon I’ll be master of the trade.

By the way, I finally drove an Auto car after 2 years of obtaining my Driving license (Dad owns a Manual car) last Thursday.
I can drive… really….
Just that I don’t know how to unlock the steering wheel, can’t move the gear box and can’t find the button to move my side mirrors back to visibility…. almost…. (I managed to get the car roaring to life with trials and errors)
Bloody hell….. It took me 6 min just to move out of the parking lot and Ally, my passenger aka colleague was amused by my antics, yet feared for her life…
Nevertheless this brave woman still managed to sit in my car calmly (with a watchful eye).And this is the same woman who can, in case of emergency/ rushing for time, run barefooted about public areas eg: a shopping mall…. What a gal!
