Image is Power

It took leave on Tuesday (20 May) and it was totally unproductive as i didn't do anything at all except sitting in front of pc whole day long chatting with friends and facebooking. I did something a little bit productive was updating my resume online. Since I have started work about 4 years back, I have not been updating my resume. While updating, i also browsed through jobstreet to see what are the current job offers. Nothing better to do, i actually submitted my resume to a few companies to try out my luck if there will be any calls to attend any interviews. Truthfully, I have started to explore to see where do i actually stand with about 4 years work experience.

I went back to work on Wed (21 May). I wasn't very motivated to work but just have to clear up my work which I need to. Speaking about that, i have quite a lot of outstanding tasks that I have not done and the deadline is end of this month....sigh....nevertheless, i just have to dread myself to get things started before my boss nags at me...well she has not nagged at me so far as I have been able to deliver my work before the deadline. :p

The American Idol (Season 7) ended on Thursday and yes, my favourite idol, David Cook was crowned as Season 7 American Idol. I admire his talent and he does have the charisma of being a singer. To add on...he is cute too ! This year AI was awesome...lots of nice songs =). Can't wait for the next season which is one year from now.

Yesterday, my company Sports Club organized a movie day for us at Cineleisure. We managed to register ourselves early to get good seats for Indiana Jones. Since some of my colleagues can't make it, I offered the extra tickets to Bee and Jen Ping. Since Bee forgot to bring her hp and was caught in a meeting last minute. She and Jen Ping came late as they also can't find each other at the Kelana Jaya LRT station. They came in 1 hour late for the movie and managed to watch the second half. Sometimes when you never expect this kind of drama to happen, it is bound to happen ! sigh...Overall, the movie is good ! harrison ford was still so cool though he isn't young anymore.

After the movie, Michelle and I headed to The Social, Bangsar to join June and my biggest client for drinks. My client and June were there earlier with other friends for dinner. I ordered a glass of beer (Heinekein) and Michelle ordered her forever favourite, Stout and she wanted in warm instead. The songs played last night was crappy. I didn't like it at all plus need to entertain my client who can quite irritating. Nevertheless, we just have to suck it all up since it is our million dollars account. My client got very happy last night and bought me and Michelle another round of beer and stout. The waiter gave me a bigger glass this time. We were all chatting and my client accidentally spilled my beer. I was happy as I don't need to finish it up but he felt bad and wanted to order a new glass. Luckily I stopped him. Shortly after that, Michelle and I left as we were getting too bored and tired to entertain him. When I got home, it was about 2am and were smsing Taki for fun before i washed up and went to bed.

Oh yes...how could i ever forget. June signed us up for a Corporate Grooming and Etiquette Workshop (1/2 day) which was hosted by our HR Dept. The image consultant was Dolly Kee from Image Power. Initially, we were pretty turn off when we saw her pic as it was like some pic taken in late 80's. However, when we met her in real life, she is indeed a lady who carries herself well in corporate world and professionally groomed with full confidence. The session was fun and indeed learnt a lot about the beauty of being groomed professionally and building self confidence. Dolly owns a company called Image Power. The website is http://www.imagepower.com.my/. After the session, I truly believe that Image is Power and always know how to make decision at the right time. There is no second chance for first impression !

Just came back from massage at Chakras. It was a good one ! I'm still deciding whether i will be joining MY and TAC for drinks tonight. The feeling is worse when you know that none of your friends can make it. sigh....counting the time now...
