The Tidiest Desk in CG Goes To...

Me. Used to. Now...

This is the messiest and untidiest desk I've ever had in CG...Newspaper ads, quotations, drafts, letters, magazines, brochures, etc. Photo doesn't do justice, coz it's way messier in real-life. Irritated but no time (or can't be bothered at current bz period) to do filing, next load coming in real soon and I'm gonna be well buried.

职业病

1 sleepy morning while waiting for train, I was listlessly reading the wordings on the poster which features a starlet holding a beverage when something caught my eye: "... dazzlting everyday." Got me awake instantly ha... got such a word meh? Reach office, checked, no such word. God... wat a big cockup... Today, I was at the same station in the same sleepy (if not, sleepier) state again, and saw that they've revised the copy to 'dazzling'.

Such a mistake is really horrendous... somemore so many posters and so big too. In the A&P field, 'everyone makes mistake' is totally unacceptable. Every single word, grammar, spelling, phrasing, etc counts, since it is published to the whole world to see. Damn stressed when I have to proof-read all my ads, website content, advertorials and even internal emails... Gotta read over and over again and irritatingly some errors just like to hide up... Doesn't help when I have bosseS who can't seem to differentiate between commerce and commence, apologies and apologizes, former and formal, weird sentence phrasing, and many more. Get the idea? Of coz, I made a few boo boos before too.. e.g. For my email subject title which I sent to all colleagues, I forgot to delete 'For your approval pls'. My colleague actually replied me 'Approved.' (-_-)" Another one was when I sent an email to all colleagues again, this time I forgot to delete the rest of the corresponding messages between me & my boss... heng nothing fiery in it! And heng its all internal emails too... but I was embarrassed enough man...

So, it's become my habit to mentally scan through and edit the copy of anything that I see/read. Applies for conversations too... so... too bad if i caught you lah hee...

Lunch @ Peony Jade 14 May 08

Been to this restaurant @ Clarke Quay quite a few times already. Ambience is nice and food is yummy! They serve their self-brewed lager too... taste good, similar to my fave hoegaarden.

They have All You Can Eat A-La-Carte Buffet of 40 dishes... can have a one-time order of Shark's Fin, Scallop, Peking Duck, etc. Prices are quite reasonable too... though so far I haven't paid for any of my meals there yet heh heh!
