Sometimes being nice isnt enough...

Final 2 days before 2006. The day start with an appoinment with Ben, our carpet man. He is responsible to put up carpets at our concourse area for our CNY promo. Then met Alex, a very nice guy who have been helping me with producing the deco at the mall. A stop over at Zang Toi and in the afternoon a photoshoot for our over the dateline calendar.

They say that when a man loves a woman, he will climb the highest mountain and swim the seven seas, just to --- . Ive asked my office mates to be the model for my shoot and they agreed. Yat, who is considered as Facility Management can do gal was going to be photograph at the bowling centre while Chok, F&M exec will do the shopping at Zang Toi. With one condition, his partner must be the gal from the salon at our mall. By all mean, if she's lovely Im all set. And yes, she's kinda sweet. The photoshoot went well. But the pix werent. I was trying to portray a couple shopping happily but what I got was a sugar daddy and his mistress. Dissaster!

The thing is, the whole evening became great when, my Chok were paying for everything. We played bowling when we're only suppose to shoot some pix. He even brought us to dinner at Monte's, my fav western food restaurant. Wooing the gal he was. And to my and Yat's amazement, the gal responded positively. And the best part, Chok even told her that he's married with a kid!

You see, Chok is a nice guy. He really is. So perhaps in a way he deserve to receive such respond. But not all guys are that lucky.

As nice as you could be, as much as you would live your life for someone, sometimes you wont get the same luck.

New Year, New Resolution, Same Old Me

8 Months. That is quite a while. Working is busy, at least mine is. 8 months ago, I was employed. And to my surprise, Im still here. Its fun. Working in a shopping mall. Trust me, it is. You go to the office at nine never knowing what time you will go out. Like today, Ive just arrived at home. Well, I stayed back at the mall because me and my friends went to see the Actorlympic at TAS. Its a good one, miss it you shouldnt.

Did I tell you what I do here? Im working under the advertising & promotion department. My work scope? Everything from event organising to buying ice cream for a crying kid. Office hour? Depends on the season. Is the pay good? Sort of. Do I love working here? Damn I do.

Theres always drama here at the mall. Today, a kid was stuck at the escalator and fell down. Then when I was reading through the paper, somebody complain to the editorial that our foodcourt shortchanged him. 1 cent! 1 bloody cent! And Im still looking for vendors for our Chinese New Year promotion.

My whole life has changed. Bit by bit. Social life. New environment, new friends, new problems.

The thing is, I promise myself, that starting next year, I wanna make sure I read my blog at least once a week. My life is like soap opera, and why not bitch about it to everyone. Later.
