After a most exhilarating but hectic month at work, I am surprised I am not feeling the total exhilaration of visiting Tokyo again ... tomorrow. Tokyo is one of my favourite cities in the world, but I have been engaged in some of the most exciting activities at work over the past month, that I haven't had the time to sit, relax, take a breath and for reality to sink in.
There has been so many challenges over the past month at work and there were exciting and not so interesting tasks that I was given, but I felt that I gave my best and thankfully, it was good enough. I finally managed to plan an entire Marketing, Advertising and Promotional campaign all by myself and I am high on achievement ecstasy. I am finally putting my love of Marketing to practise, and in the next two months, so of which I will not be around, some of my advertising ideas will be floating along the public streets of Sydney. This is kick-ass goodness.
I have been submerged at work for such a long time and it is great to be able to be given a really meaty task that I can sink my teeth into. It is not only great to work with a cohesive team, but also with managers who appreciate what I do. No more lazy bosses that I feel I have to make up for. What a great difference this makes and it makes all the hard work much more exciting.
Usually, I would have covered this entire post with my trip to Tokyo to see my idol Akina again (top that!) but I have been ranting on about work. It's pretty unusual if you are a regular reader and I guess I just want to say that perseverance pays!
It will my fourth trip to Tokyo and now I am on a Friday evening, after placing my last piece of necessity that I can remember in the luggage, trying to ramp up my excitement levels by blogging. Though it's only a week, it will be jammed with three concerts with my lovely Singaporean Akina fan/friends, a food bazaar (with my aunt), farewell drinks and dinner with Shige, Ueno trip with Catherine, two dinners with Leslie and lots of shopping, talking and eating. Life just doesn't get this good, and my eyes will be wide open looking for ideas to share at work. Have I officially turned into a workaholic?
