I’ve been putting this post aside for awhile, was still contemplating on the consequences of it all. Should I blog about work or not? A lot of friends and family have asked me if I found a job…and I guess after explaining yourself 30 times, all you feel like saying is… “Yes”.
So for the benefit of those who don’t know, I started work in May/June at Ogilvy Public Relations as a PR Associate. “Holy Guacamole!” why didn’t I go into Economics where the moolah is? Government, Banking, Finance, Trading, Broking?!!! Coz my degree IS in economics? Well plain and simple, I’ve realized that economics wasn’t my calling.
It’s been great for the past 3 months; I came in knowing I had 2 friends in the building, Penny and Nick and I must thank them both for giving me prep work for my interview, and of course the moral support.
Everyday, i come into work, and at 9 on the dot, my phone’s caller id will flash – PENELOPE PEREIRA. I pick up the phone and on the other end penny goes “Shall we?” and I’ll go “OK!” Every morning, we’ll go down to the Ya Kun Kaya Toast for our usual.
“Auntie, our usual”
“1 teh bing, 1 teh siew tai big cup da bao!”
I’d just like to recap my first day here, i woke up, power dressed myself in a shirt, pants and killer heels. And those heels were really KILLER HEELS, coz they gave me blisters every single time i wore the.i never learn my lesson, i always hope shoes stretch in time… Check out the damage below. I’ve since then have thrown away those pair of shoes, and invested in new ones from Topshop and Zara.



More about work in another post…for now…time to go mountain biking!
