I feel giddy with fatigue. What a day.

Javelin B Girls
Jessica - 1st
Carissa - 3rd
Yinghui - 6th
O.M.G. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Liyan can testify how big my reaction was and how high i jumped when i got Mr Lim's SMS about results. OMGGGGGGGGGGGG :D:D:D
HOW ELSE CAN I SAY, WELL DONE?! Congrats congrats congrats. :D
Ok actually i started this entry with feelings of S:( [it's supposed to be a frowning sad smiley (IRONY!) read from left to right] But thinking about NY throws and their absolutely fantastically smashing record-high-on-the-happiness-scale results makes me feel damn =:) [it's supposed to be a eyes-lighted-up smiling smiley]
Then,
Shotput C Girls
Alicia - 3rd
Wingshan, Stephanie - DNQ
OMGGGG WELL DONE MAN HAHAHAHAHA! Wow. Sec 1, 2 medals. I REALLY WANT TO KNOW HOW THAT FEELS. Aah Wingshan and Stephanie...
My day started at about 6.30am, and i went down to CCK stadium, the usual way, MRT then 307 (in retrospect, i should have just walked instead of waiting for the bloody bus which took damn long) Met the girls for a while only, i was reading the results board while they went to jog and afterwards just hung around at the jav track talking to MrLim.
It was surreal standing at the jav track again. I cant imagine myself there just what, 9 months ago? Wow. Ah well, 往事只能回味?
Left stadium at 7.45am and ran to catch 307 to take to the stop after CCK station, only to just miss a 67. So took the next one, and reached office at about 9.05am. Which isnt too bad. CONSIDERING I DID ABOUT 1.5H FREE OT IN THE END TODAY.
HAIII. Long long story. And yes, about the Postcards.
So today i made my first "sales pitch", sorta.
Actually in retrospect, ok this is quite scary, but it seems like my intuition guided my subconsciousness to do the last post about the Postcards. Because today is Friday and Fridays are MMI Internal Meeting Days and just yesterday evening, Liyan told me that the intern doing postcards (Complication #1 - actually the intern was the one initially tasked to do the Postcards. Then somewhere along the way, suddenly we got involved too and we progressed in our own direction) is going to present her postcards today.
So today was also the first time i ever went into their MMIIM, when Alex suddenly thundered down the stairs and told Liyan and i to prepare and go up to present our postcards.
Mistake #1 - Totally unprepared. Wasnt thinking straight and my train of thoughts totally derailed.
Mistake #2 - (only realized upon retrospection) Should have set down the reasons why we did it this way. To explain ourselves and also to adequately cover our asses.
Mistake #3 - Maybe i should have explained the Math part more. Especially the Log(istics) one. ARGH that's my favourite one actually. :(
Mistake #4 - WHY WAS I FEELING SO FREAKING NERVOUS. HAHAHAHA now that i think back i feel so silly. Omg. I should have totally just done it the primary school PW way - stand in the front, next to the projector, point/draw on the board if necessary. Actually i was standing away from the screen but in front of the board, i should have drawn/written.
Mistake #5 - I was posed a question like "So is this your final product?" and i stupidly answered "This is just Version 1..." which got me a "Then what is Version 2?"
I should have just said "Yes that is how i would do it. I wouldnt change anything else." because yes like Liyan said, er duh we would have changed everything we wanted to change before presenting it right?!
Ok what's done is done. Now what matters is what are we going to do next.
Thinking about this immediately makes me feel like an attitude attap chee. Which i also realize, is rather indicative that advertising/being the Ideas Person is not for me.
Self-Revelation Of The Day - About my Ideas/Thoughts/Creative Products, if i cannot do it my way, then i wont want to do it.
Because i dont take ownership of it and then it becomes pointless for me.
I think i am horribly overbearing. This is such a good springboard for future interviews and
"Tell me, other than what's on paper, who are YOU?"
"Ok other that my 1 A and 3 Cs, i am horribly overbearing, too."
I hope i didnt behave too badly today. Arghhhh. Ok actually today Alex was Alex the Hero, to me. I am probably biased because he liked our idea and was the only one actively voicing his support. And he was the only one who bothered to let us know the outcome of the meeting and vote. While the other 2 were performing taichi.
Haii dont feel like writing anymore.
Long day ahead tomorrow. I'm quite glad i'm working for Li Wei Song/Li Si Song concert tomorrow. Yay some local songwriting talent goodness.
Haii.
Shit i think my keeping of a blog is very indulgent to my own self-perceived wittering but maybe world-perceived crap. Zzz.
