The very first day

After the first day of work, questions started racing through my mind. I really wonder if PR is really what I want and I have the skills and ability to handle the job scope. I am very concious of making mistakes that may become unforgivable in the future. PR is ultimately a small small industry in SG. Knowing one person makes it seems that you know all of them. On a brief occasion, I was linked to so many other people at the meer mention of TO's name. Hmmm.....why like that? Can there even be a distinction in this industry? Realised that my colleagues are actually all very nice. They may not be very chatty with me all at once, but I am slowly working towards it. You know how a new boi reacts wen he goes to school? I do not want to be the one to break up their very intimate conversations now and then. I do not know whose who yet. And beginning to worry that the parties that I need to attend might be taking too much of my social life. I do not want that as MT, BL, JW etc are coming back form Australia. Wonder why, but they are like priority in my life now. Just looking forward to hanging out with them.

Towards the end of the day, I was a a client's for a product briefing. The companys office was a double wow for me. I think TO or MT would like the office. U cannot go to the bar? Then bring the bar to you lor. Hahaha. Tried asking "intelligent" questions to the client, I am not sure if they came across as silly or simply not related to the campaign that we are pitching for. But i told myself to try. Not to show my worth to my supervisor, but to warm up on my side. If I don't try or make mistakes, I will not learn fast enough to keep up with the rest.

Throughout the day I was thinking of TO and MT. I think I am drawing my support and comfort from knowing that they are certain I will make it through, and that PR is what I can do. I just have to think that every moment of my job, is something glamourous. I must not let my guard down at all. With all the branded products that I am dealing with, I must have product knowledge.

Off to an event at the National Museum now. Handling the media. TO why you not here? Sigh
