It was a fun (if tiring) experience even just queuing up for 12 hours, and I'm sure it was far more tiring (though perhaps more rewarding?) for all the staff working behind the scenes to ensure the success of the event. I must say I'm really terrible with faces and names, though, and I wasn't really thinking too clearly by the time the end of the day rolled around, so I'm afraid I don't quite recall speaking to you, unless you were the staff member who was tasked with looking after my things...?

I was not happy when I started working at your age, becasue, just as you go through, I had no time left for myself. Becoming an employee to someone changes our life so much especially if we used to be university students. I remember I was confused and totally unhappy about that. But you seem to enjoy what's happening to yourself, which is a relief. Blogging should not something like an assignment, I suppose, and I totally understand it's hard to keep up with posting as frequently as before. Please don't pressure yourself too much about that. Happy blogging! Congrats on your job, and it’s good you enjoy your job!

I do a diverse range of stuff - meet with the media - facilitate internal comm such as newsletters and news in the intranet - liaise with other businesses and organizations - plan and execute events etc. It's a 5 day week in Singapore but the hours are 8.30 - 6, not 9 - 5. Yes, we're overworked. T___T I'm online quite a bit too! But mostly for e-mail or researching something. When I get back, I go online to chat and watch stuff, since I'm too pooped to do anything else that requires more effort.. like blogging. I have a newfound admiration for you though! You manage to blog even while working. I sure am struggling with this! o.O Hey Katy!

And whoa that's a long work day... do you work 5 days a week over there in Singapore? I find that I don't want to go online when I get home from work since I'm online all day AT work... I guess if you have too much time to go on net, you get soo sick of it. =S Congrats on your job.. what do you do exactly?

Corporate Communications Officer puts me at a very basic level in terms of rank. It's one step lower than a manager. I was just joking about the similarities between CCO and CEO, being only one letter different. HAHAHA!! Not really, actually.
