the tough gets going.
failure will only come when we give up.

koc - revisited
after 4 yrs, one of my fave bands of all times - kings of convenience - is back to perform for the mosaic festival @ the esplanade!
performing in front of a sell out crowd, i was once again enraptured in their mellow vocals and simple stage set up. their songs never fail to comfort me in a way that otherwise only very old frds can. as they belted out their old hits, it was as if i was walking down memory lanes - reminiscing the times when i was first touched by their vocals and remembering the faces of the people who were once so dear in my life - lovers and friends alike.
on a side note, our little company (olc henceforth) has celebrated its first month of operations 2 days ago - ups and downs, joyous times and times when u questioned why u decided to drop everything for this, the many sacrifices made and the times when u cd pull ya hair out trying to get things rite. yes all these in a month! without sounding excessive melodramatic, it's been quite a rollercoaster ride.

my tunes
i shall take a break from blogging about work , no matter how tempting it is to keep blabbering about the current challenges etc...
instead, i wanna list the songs tt sets me in a good mood these days when i catch a listen on the radio while driving, strangely songs tend to sound that much nicer when heard over the car stereo. oh well, here goes (in no particular order):
1. ke$ha's blah blah blah (i know, it's kind of nonsensical but i likey)
2. avril lavigne's alice (underground) ( i havent watched the movie yet. damn:( )
3. ke$ha's tick tock ( yea, i m so digging her and her sob sob start up story hehe)
4. taylor swift's fearless (didnt like her music style initially but guess, she's the kind that grows on ya)
5. lady gaga's telephone (yea, the video's the blast!)
on a side note, i LOST my tiffany ring in the novena gym showers today! extremely distraught by the incident :( - this ring's been with me for the last 6 years, everyday, on my finger! and now, as i run my thumb over my middle finger, i feel the loss immediately.
my heart bleeds.

that's the way love goes...
someone mentioned today that i am a loser in love...and i actually was short of a quick rebuttal to tt. i pondered a little over the remark and yea, i cant find evidence of any sorts in the last couple of yrs that actually could stand as evidence to the contrary.
so yea, coming to the age of 32 and still painfully single, with the longest rs the one i had back when i was in my early 20s, i guess i have to concede that in the l. department, i might really just be a big loser after all.
i was never lucky in love. the several episodes i have in my life thus far were all fleeting and usually end with me and the other party not even bothering to keep in touch. don't know why but i never am good with maintaining a rs cordially - the ups were crazy highs, the downs were the ones that no sane person can recover from. the in-betweens doesnt exist for me, it was always intense and speedy - pretty much like a car gg at 140km/hr without a working brake pad, the crash was really imminent.
i dont know where i m actually going with this entry really. i guess its just ramblings triggered by a very real possibility that actually got verbalised by a third party that i was hoping i wont hear it actualised out in words. the l. word. how elusive.

the daily grind
these days, work starts @ 11 am for me, the daily grind involves the following:
1. rushing down to office to open the door for our aunty staff (whom we fondly refer to, internally of cos, as our "old fogies")
2. ra-ra-ing and settling them before the official work starts
3. updating the previous days appts status
4. clapping and cheering whenever the bell gets ring
5. updating results on the board
6. solving questions that come suddenly about product and stuff, sending emails, follow ups etc etc
7. ra-ra-ing again when the results are below expectations or nearing expectations
8. discussing about training, HR matters, sales etc etc
9. wrapping things up and tabulating the system
10. putting on the board what to discuss for tmr plus some monkeying ard with D. or having his frds come over
everyday ends with me feeling pretty drained from the day's activities. i guess thats entreprenuership for ya - when the onus of survival falls entirely unto our own laps, instead of having the "company" to rely on for operations or fall backs, every minute detail becomes crucial and a point to be wary of. it's tiring but at the same time, when things go our way, the pride and joy from knowing that all that planning and risk taking have paid off are just enormous. let's hope the day comes when we look back at our beginning and beam with so much pride as to how much we have achieved - that, i m sure, will be sweet.
p.s. i am so into ke$ha - tick tock is infectious!
