another WIP while waiting for the sun to set...










last tuesday was harry potter's premiere night in london. we all know how unpredictable london's weather is, case in point wimbledon matches. it would always rain during wimbledon season so they invested on having a roof made on center court. but then it just rained once this season and they barely used the multi million roof.
anyway, here's the scenario duing the half blood prince's premiere night:

The premise is that educated and affluent women were under attack.
Is it really true, though?
Could it be that people somehow expect a higher standard of behaviour from them, simply because they'd been to university and are rich? So that when they behaved foolishly (or were stupid, dangerous, anti-social, or whatever), the dissappointment made the people lashed out more viciously?
Of course that assumption is wrong. Highly educated and rich people are not exempt form foolishness.

facebook and twitter are banned in China for now.
i feel so disconnected from the world. the office folks are using VPN back home to get their access to facebook.
when will this end?
Tomorrow :) heading back to Singapore tomorrow.
Russell Reynolds was asking me to consider moving back to Beijing to manage a team of 40 for one of the world's biggest IT company.
Will they think I am a himbo if I tell them I am not moving back because i want my facebook? ha!

a big disappointment.
Hé (合) (by the Teng Company) i honestly have little respect for musicians who play a recorded track which is louder than the live instruments that is supposed to be showcased.
Three Stones (T’ang Quartet’s Leslie Tan plays the first three preludes of Bach’s solo cello suites to the dance choreography by Aaron Khek.) was the only highlight. i was quite surprised that the dance featured two male dancers in homoerotic choreography. the choreography was interesting, but the two dancers lacked practice and it showed. it could have been much, much better.
The Loop of Fortune (by Action Theatre PAN.OPTIKUM) - what a disappointment. the fireworks became the highlight rather than the performance itself.
my final thought - even a free programme should have some standard.
Back to the 80s
woah.... new song from Aqua!! .... listen to the lyrics... gosh.. im nostalgic for the 80s...
Back in the Ronald Reagan days
When we put sattelites in space
When boys wore skinny leather ties
Like Don Johnson from Miami Vice
When M&M was just a snack
And Michael Jacksons skin was black
Back when the coolest thing in store
Was a Commodore 64
Back to the 80's
Back to Soap
Back to Rocky and Cherry Coke
Those were the days
And we go
Back to the 80's
And hey there Mr.T
To Twisted Sisters on MTV, yeah
Those were the days
I come back
To Iron Maiden and 7UP
Bananarama and Breakfast Club
Come Back, Yeah
Come Back, Yeah
I Come Back
When Huey Lewis was the news
When we went flying with Tom Cruise
When shoulderpads and looking tough
Lost a dare to David Hasselhof
To many men with heavy makeup on
To many poodles with guitars
Thanks for all the joy you've given us
You will always be our superstars
Back to the 80's
Back to Soap
Back to Rocky and Cherry Coke
Those were the days
And we go
Back to the 80's
And hey there Mr.T
To Twisted Sisters on MTV, yeah
Those were the days
I come back
To Iron Maiden and 7UP
Bananarama and Breakfast Club
Come Back, Yeah
Come Back, Yeah
I Come Back
Hooray for Cosby and Rubicks Cube
Hooray for Dynasty and Moon Boots
Hooray for Devo and Barber Curls
Hooray for Poltergeist and Barbie Girls
Back to the 80's
Back to Soap
Back to Rocky and Cherry Coke
Those were the days
Lets go back
Back to the 80's
To Mr.T
To Twisted Sisters on MTV, yeah
Those were the days
I come back
To Iron Maiden and 7UP
Bananarama and Breakfast Club
Come Back, Yeah

this is just to remind myself to post something later.
The month of June always feels the strangest nowadays. After not being in school anymore for so long, I have started to detest June. Why? Because everywhere feels more crowded because students are walking along the streets instead of being in school or at home doing homework. People at work are on leave all the time because they need to bring their kids out somewhere - this means that single people like me are obliged to cover their asses while they are away.
I think the only good thing about June is that the traffic on the roads and MRT in the morning seems a little less congested.
June was also spent discovering RESTAURANT CITY on Facebook. Normally I am quite slow with jumping onto the bandwagon with these things, which is why I only started playing it now. At present I have eight staff working in my restaurant, and saving up $$$ to do a good interior overhaul when the time is right.
Renovation works are nearly complete, and my parents and I will be moving back home this weekend. I am not sure if I will be sleeping there by Sunday, or stay at the temporary place till we have really cleaned up everything. It will be strange to walk around floors that feel chalky and dusty.

Here’s a guide I share with new account servicing teams who join my company, Paprika. These are methods of working I’ve picked up through the years and working styles I‘ve come to value and see in individuals that stand out.
A piece of advice I’d like to offer is that communications is not about drawing lines. It’s about integration across all lines (ATL, BTL, POSM & Digital), all disciplines (PR, CRM, events & communications) and all channels that a customer engages with.
Times are changing the dynamics of our industry and we’re fast moving away from advertising to communicating and engaging.
The following areas are covered:
A) A MOMENT BEFORE WE PLUNGE IN
B) OUTLINE OF WORK AREAS
C) THE BASICS OF ACCOUNT SERVICING
1. Organisational Skills
2. Time Management
3. Written Communications & Presenting Information
4. Relationship Building
D) BEYOND THE BASICS
1. Watch, Listen, Read & Understand
2. Communicating
3. The Art Of Presentation
4. Knowing Which Buttons To Press
5. Difficult Clients
