I'm loving it

It's been some time since I penned my thoughts! Well, was busy with lots of stuff, adjusting to new colleagues, workplace, assignments and personal issues. Of cos there are ups and downs, but whatever. I had much fun yesterday!! Yoohoo...

Yesterday's event was at Raffles Hotel, also the last event of my company for the year. As usual, my role was to talk to the media/ interviewees and facilitate interviews between them. To date, I probably did this about 3 times but as previously there were seniors so I was overshadowed and I left the job to my seniors as well cos I felt super tongue-tied. Haha. This time, couldn't escape as only 2 in my team (including me) were available.

At first, I felt quite apprehensive talking to those people we picked out for media interviews cos it's abit like networking and everything but after the first few I got better and felt more confident. Although at the beginning it was like I started to stare at my senior and asked for cues, haha... Anyway, after most of the reporters got their jobs done, we proceeded to sit down for dinner and watch the awards ceremony as well as listen to Minister's speech. (I cannot tell you if it's boring or interesting cos all of us already had his printed speech in front of us, haha). It wasn't anything unexpected. In the midst, I tried my best to small talk with those reporters on my own and I am very happy I could make this effort. At least I wasn't that quiet like last time. Probably I knew more of the project now and had some "meat" to sell to the reporters. Phew!

Anyway I am super happy that I tried though it helped that the reporters were more relaxed and friendly at a dinner rather than at a media conference. Hehe. Guess I will continue to improve and perservere. After the dinner, I was at such an adrenaline high! (maybe it was the food too - made me super duper full and feeling super fat after that)

I am glad for this small achievement and will continue to perservere. Need to come out of my shell man, which I admit I often sink into it due to laziness and fear. Oh, for the bad things I experienced, let's sweep it under the carpet then. "Remember only the good stuff " (sounds like a radio's tagline)

This Monday - got to do a presentation on my company to some visitors. Stressed, never done it before and I suddenly kena "arrowed"! Sighz, must prepare, must prepare.
