June was an eventful month.
The whole of May and first two weeks of June were dedicated to the launch of Lifetime.
Having spent almost 5 years in the industry and the company, it was my first involvement in a new channel launch.
I've left the Malaysia market for awhile and being back briefly was good although some things and people still prove to be challenging.
I think the event was a success and the hard work was paid off :)
Counting down to 6pm on 14 June was one of the coolest things in my career. That moment was truly money can't buy and celebrating your fruit of labour is indeed one of the best.
A week later on the 18th morning, I received an sms notification that S$1,100 was withdrawn from my account at 12:21am. I thought I saw the wrong thing and called the bank to verify. Someone stole S$1,500 from my account without my atm card but with my pin number. Scary isn't it? This happened in Singapore and yes, till today. I have yet to ask the bank for more details but have since gotten my money back after much frustration. That was the first time I made a police report and I hope it would be the only and last time.
A week later, I turned 30th and celebrated with family and friends. Family was so sweet to throw us a surprise party on my birthday's eve. Although I kinda expected it because the excuse thought by Mr. Grumpy was not good enough, I'm very appreciative and touched by the efforts.
I always thought turning 30 means a lot but I think as long as you live life, it's after all a number. I'm really very thankful for the things that happened in the last decade, the people whom I met, the highs and lows. My life is not the best but it's great to me! And I count my blessings all the time.
After the surprise celebration, we mourned the loss of a great family man who passed away due to lung infection worsened by the haze. Gosh, I didn't expect the haze to be that serious and life-threatening. He was a very generous man who treated us like his own grandchildren. He has bought us so many gifts and given us so many treats and with that, I believe he is at a better place now.
Flew to Hong Kong for work on 26th and had an extended celebration for myself and an early one for Mr. Grumpy. After Disneyland, some shopping, good dinner, a not quite happening night at Lan Kwai Fong, lots of food and perspiration later, we came back late last night, in fact this morning and Mr. Grumpy flew off to Jakarta at 620am. He barely slept! And he's not even here for his 40th. Biggest bummer!
Also, I have to fly off to Manila on Wednesday. Not something I look forward to and I can't wait for July and August to be over.
Till then, happy July!
