Today was a day of... mixed blessings. But maybe more up than down.

Didn't start off right; I woke up late for work, at 8 am. Normally I wake up at 7 am and leave the house by 8 am to catch the 8.15 am bus to get to Tanjong Pagar by 9 am.

So I had to take a cab down instead; bloody expensive since it's peak hour and there's ERP as well.

But during lunchtime, when I went to submit my December timesheet, the lady asked me what I was doing in Uni. So I told her Soci, and then she asked, "How do you feel about media?" (The company I'm working in is an advertising agency.)

I was kinda stunned, but I told her I'd never had any experience with it and went on to ask her some other stuff about what it would involve. In the end, she took down my number.

Then, after lunch, someone gave me tickets to a movie premiere; it was a Chinese movie, "Linger", and I didn't even know anything about anyone in it, lol. My sis told me the lead actor was formerly from F4, and later on while we were in the cinema, Joseph told me that the lead actress is very famous in China too. *shrugs*

Was kinda weird though, coz the premiere was really a gala premiere, so the lead actor was there. Maybe just for the fanservice. When I got to Cine tonight at about 8.50 pm, the outside was packed with people and there were black Merces and Beemers driving off and a few security guards, the kind dressed in black suits and wearing earpieces. I think 80% of the population in Cine tonight was female and under the age of 20.

Joseph and me actually contemplated selling the two tickets that we had to see if we could get maybe 50 to 100 bucks for each of them. :D But we ended up going into the theatre and despite the fact that it was supposed to start at 9 pm, the lead actor probably didn't even step *into* Cine till maybe 9.15; continuing to excite all the fangirls outside with his mere um.. presence.

And we were sitting in the theatre for another 15 minutes, I think, and wondering what was taking so long, before the lead actor came in and gave some little speech before the movie started. And Joseph got a little fangirly. Lol. He got really excited and he started taking pictures of the guy with his phone. And then he moved to seats further up front to take more pictures. Maybe he'll post those pictures on his blog. :)

Anyway, back to the office; just before I got off from work, the two ladies I sit next to asked me if I could continue come in once a week to carry on the work I was doing for them. Apparently, they churn out the data that I'm putting together once a month, but this year they've requested the reports for one whole year at one go instead.

So I've been offered a part-time job and I think, along with some interest in taking me on for a permanent job.

And to top it all off, when I got home, my mummy got me the two Cirque du Soleil DVDs that I wanted!! :D
