Cheerios!

Thanks to all who text me...I know I was a cause for concern these couple of days and weeks...*grin* me=touched...really. I'm alrite =)

Let's see. I'm really excited about a new project that's coming up. My boss told me briefly yesterday that we are in the running for a job, with a high possibility of landing it, for a mini coffee table book. It's actually one of our clients (a union) that's celebrating their 60th anniversary this year, and they were initially asking for a quote for one of those boring souvenir magazines. Cindy (boss) tried to sell them another idea, which they have rather taken to it. The idea is to write sixty stories about the union, since its history. Sixty untold, uncut and compelling stories that people and members didn't know about; sixty stories to reminisce, laugh or cry about. Something people would want to pick up and read, and not stop till they are done. I'm thrilled...really excited about this. The very thought of getting down to interviewing and talking to the persons involved and writing their stories sends a rush of adrenaline down my spine...wahahaha...

But the client has yet to say yes to it. They are still pending the EXCO approval (afterall the stories may spin off some gossip fodder and in a very real sense, they may even air some dirty linen...I don't know), plus, whether their Management counterparts (not the Union side, but the company side) is willing to pay for it. We'll know their decision come next Friday, 19 Jan. And all of us are crossing our fingers...twisting in fact. Ha!

In the meantime, I'm contented with my next assignment (on top of my usual ones). A small one. I'm writing a feature story on the adidas customised track shoes for one of SAA's sports magazines. Yay. I've more or less thought about how to angle that story liao.

I brought Isa shopping for her birthday on Weds after work. Our haul wasn't too bad. I bought a skirt and a jacket. She bought the same skirt and jacket, plus two blouses, another skirt and a pair of jeans. Nice. Haha..We (office peeps) paid for that skirt and jacket for her as her birthday prezzy. That girl always comes dressed in some jeans and t-shirt, or denim skirts. Time for a revamp. Haha...In the end, I had a good time throwing clothes to her n asking her to try them on, and she had a great time trying 美美的 clothes. Haha. Shopping is just so fun...so therapeutic. Sigh...No money liao. This shopping trip marks the second this week. I met fen on Sunday for shopping too, after she was Wong Yi's ROM receptionist. That day, I bought a pair of atas-looking pumps, a top and a skirt. Haha...seems like I've been buying skirts only. Hmm...I need to go shop again. Actually I'm not spending CNY this yr too, as a mark of respect for my grandad who passed away last year. But I thought I would like to have some new clothes for the new year is all. Then again, I buy new clothes almost every month. Gawd...I've sure burst my credit card for the past three months liao. *cold sweat*

It's sucky how after this string of holidays, everything is gonna end with the coming and going of CNY. Then it's full steam ahead after the celebratory season is over. Work work work...I hope it will be a fulfilling year (work especially) this year.
