Barffie The Whine Connoisseur

I got promoted to Trailer Producer on this day in history.

I would like to first thank Soo Ping for giving me all the chances
to do trailers and being incredibly patient with me n my errors…
Seng Wah for speaking up for me this morning n being my career consultant n teaching me ways of the world…
Anna who always helped me in trailers n stuff…
And of cos Harry who taught me things,
made me appreciate the finer things in life,
and also helping me in my career path…
And also Fong and the other producers who were patient with all
my grouchiness, my carelessness, my noisy demeanour…

Congrats to Jeff who got the permanant position…

But I can’t help but feel guilty towards Fong.
I took something tt shld be his.
I’m much younger, less experienced,
but he really inspired me in the earlier days to be more
watchful of other ppl’s feelings in work,
and being more active and helpful and stuff…
Even though I always diss him and beat him up…
But he’s really a brother-figure or something ler…

But the rest told me tt I did better trailers,
he’s better in production and stuff…
So the criteria – I would make a better choice…

I shld really stop whining and complaining abt how my life sucks.
Cos life has really been nice to me.
I got this job, almost weeks after I grad (before I got my dip)…
Got a stable income (albeit a little low) thingy,
never mind the initial boring shitass things I hv to do,
having great colleagues who tolerated me and taught me things,
all the chances and opportunities tt were given to me…
And now at the age of 22/23,
I got promoted to a producer’s position.
And having a great new bf…
Even though he’s leaving for KL soon,
but it’s good for both of us also,
we can concentrate on our careers a little more this way.

Many times I thought of leaving,
but I hv to admit tt my laziness had put off me quitting
n going elsewhere for quite a long time.
The familiarity of the place, the stability, the fun people…
They did play a part in keeping me there for longer…
Comfort zone indeed.
But I’m glad I stayed long enough to see this day…

2003 had been hell, but I survived it and emerged stronger…
2004 is the time I shld strive again,
and make good of my opportunity,
to say thanks to those who supported me…

I am grateful.
Big hug to all of you.
