Okay.. for now...

too cool

straightening out priorities

I am not good at juggling, I must admit.
Sometimes I get distracted.
Mind busy thinking about other things.
But can you say that I am not good if I purposely drop one of the balls?

1 more month

I left office early today. I was all too exhausted from my lack of sleep due to the World Cup finals. Of course, I had the Oranje flag flying... and it was disappointing... I turned off the TV the moment the whistle was blown. Too much I have to comment about the game. The referee was questionable. Puyol was so unsportsmanlike. Robben was just wasteful.

It was the kind of game not parallel to the excitement exuded from the 3rd 4th placing game between Germany and Uruguay. At least I got half my predictions correct, but not like a certain Paul. Paul has become a pop culture. I hate him. (Okay.. I am talking like he's a person) But whatever la.. impressive record.. I am not an octopus person. The odds of him getting all 8 correct was 1/256. And his streak has not been broken yet. One would doubt that he will be retired now. Who knows? Can we use him to see if 2012 exist?

Overall... it was a good... wait... a great world cup :)

This song seems to befit the event... which brought the world together :)


Anyway... some pictures of GSK after exactly 2 months here.

A pouch containing a lavender soap...

Colleague got me this from Hokkaido from the recent company trip. Quite cute. It's funny how she said this is the most "boy-suitable" thing she could find in Japan.

Part of GSK.


Yean's New Ribena Artwork launch. The design on the bottle looks awesome! The purple is now really outstanding and eye-catching! And to the right, some drawings made by SCSOA. Very nice drawings.. All sold for charity :)


The New Sensodyne Rapid Relief Promo Truck starts its nationwide tour to promote the newest
variant.


Boss entering the "opened" Sensodyne Box. (Noticed it's 3D)

Anyway, do catch the truck! :D It started at Subang today. I can provide the schedule if you are interested. Basically there would be detailing about Rapid Relief - everything about it, including how it works; free dental check-ups, free samples.

what

I would do to get back everything I have lost in the last two weeks...

in my blue jeans

When I started working in GSK, I didn't quite know what I was expecting. I guess I wasn't thinking much. I kept wondering if I could survive the 12-week long placement. Now about halfway into it, I feel that the end can't come any slower. In other words, I am rather enjoying myself. I definitely could see myself in pharmaceutical industry. It's testament to GSK and how much they have exposed me so far. Although in some moments, I wished they would give me a little bit more responsibility, I can still safely say, I have no regrets trying this out. I am having the time of my life here.

It's true I am still fresh. Through my eyes, I still see things that could be better. I have not reached the stage where I would just accept things as it is. I guess it's good that I can rebel about things now. Improvements can be made, and I can see the future.

But I digress, I am only a guy in blue jeans. I am not yet a boss of the company; one who wears LV coats or Clark shoes... although I can confidently say that I am halfway there ;) No one can deny me the rights to see things my way. I guess I have my own ways... but I always sing my praises to the One who is always by my side to guide me what should be done.

In my opinion, I feel the best person to get advice from, or the ones who can tell you a lot about their job are those who are in the middle of the company; whether in terms of position or years served. If you ask the newer ones, they are pretty much like you, but they are able to share stories a bit on their previous company. Those can be quite interesting, a true representative of this versus that. But, if you ask those at the top, they won't reveal much. They have reputations to take care of... whether it is the company's or their very own. And I feel they choose their words too carefully.

Now.. if I am a reporter.. I think that's not what I want...

I would like to have the story told as it is... from all angles. And I know I can get that from the "middle". They are the true experts, the driving force of the company. They know everything about the things they are selling, they are the ones who make the money, they are the ones who can be honest to us.

But again I digress.... I am a student.. an inquisitive and curious one. All I want to do is learn as much as time allows me to...

one of those days..

:):

haha.. sighs..

shaking hands

I love this comic... (Taken from TheOatmeal). It's cute and funny!

It totally depicts some people I know... Well.. hope you enjoy!

marketing is fun!

Some more food pictures!

Something Western this time.

My junior big breakfast.

Location somewhere in Ampang. The place is called "The Bakery". Their food is quite decent. But a tad bit pricey. Like my plate above... it is RM20. But the toasted bread was good! And the sausage.. delightful!

I wished I had gotten what a colleague got though... (although it took super long)

THIS.

Anyway.. .I did not go back to work after that.. (we lunched for nearly 2 hours!)... instead I did my interviews with some pharmacists.. It wasn't always pleasant.. But some of them were genuinely nice to talk to! Some of them.. well.. not so.. I wished I had not wasted my time with them..

But I digress... SO .. I went to 15 pharmacies in 4 hours - 7 interviews. Not bad I would say :) :) About 20 mins each pharmacy I visited including my travels..! AWESOMENESS!

It was a tired day... bumped into a teacher from Nottingham at KL Sentral too... :)

guess the *ahem*

Got my *ahem* today.. Wonder what I shall do with it.. Use it tomorrow? Or keep it for something more useful? ;)
