SO TIRED

I had a really tough week!!!
Finally, I'm almost over my probation, and just waiting for paperwork to be done.
But I did not get the 300 increment that i expected.
it was just a 200 increment.
i was pretty disappointed.
Because i need the money!!
Sigh told my boss that i wasn't happy with the increase, and of course she gave me tonnes of reasons. Which i understand in the company's point of view, but obviously not mine.

It's taking me awhile to adjust to this disappointment.
at the same time, i had been jaded by the amount of work that i had to do over the week.
Having just 1 person working like that i'm doing, is just not enough.
at least, it's not fast enough.
there's so much things to do that i have to set priority.
but which is my priority, hard to define.

worked till 9.30pm on Wed night.
missed class. because we had to prepare for the big event on thurs and fri.
it was just mitch and I who stayed back.
just to keep rendering the videos until they're playing fine to be put on tv the next day.
it was really annoying.
because, come on, marv was the one who was in charge and i had to stay back and skip class.
WTH.

Next morning was HR summit.
The big event where all HR management ppl from all sorts of companies will gather.
it was at MBS convention hall.
We were there at 7.30am till 7pm.
I talked and introduced about our product to the HR managers and directors who visited our booth, all the way from 8am to lunch, then 1pm to 6pm.
It was super tedious, given the fact that there were only 4 of us doing that for the entire day.

The mascots were adorable lah!
i loved the bright orange and blue blazers they wore.
It definitely brought in the crowd. =)

Till friday evening, we actually got 70 companies to sign up for our free trial!
and of course, another 100 over namecards waiting to be explored.
On my end, I have gotten quite a few GOOD contacts for canvassing.
it was like... HURRAY! haha.
but it's all hard work, and i know we just have to expect MUCH more work to come on Monday.

all the follow up will just KILL.
and I will be once again drowned in canvassing work, calling up the whole world to tell them i have about 100 employers on board, including the big players, so that you ppl frigging get your graduates on board now.

im both excited and stressed at the same time.
having no idea how to increase the database within 2 months.
God bless me please. =)

I spoke to several HR directors during this event.
it was quite scary but i think i did well. :)
i think it was a great experience for all of us who were there, to practise our presentation skills
and of course to reply all those sharp and difficult questions posed.
It was an eye opener, to a real networking session of the corporate world. :)

Of course, hard work brings backaches and my feet were not mine at the end of yesterday.
I am still very tired now, despite having slept 10 hours last night.

My brother and sis were back since wed midnight
baby ethan is lovely and really adorable.
just that he cries ALOT in the middle of the night waking the whole family up.
and tell me, how to slp well with all these kids around in the house?
if i'm dead aslp still, means i am really exhausted - like thursday night when i slept at 10pm.

finally getting back to my books tomorrow.
hehe. with tingxuan while he does his project work.
i had been so out of touch for the past 1 month.
this new job is taking a toll on me.
and i really hope i will manage well this term.

Tx and I just applied for a HDB flat last night.
hehe. it's our first attempt and i can say i was really excited about it. :)
it felt very very weird, while we're applying. because that really sounds like a commitment.
of course i don't think i'll get it at our first try since Janice had tried it 6 times and to no avail.
but i am really happy. hehe.
and i am sure im not regreting this. i hope he feels the same too. =)

alright. im going back to my shows.
i need to watch some shows to feel that i'm still alive.
goodnight! :)
