It's been a hectic first two days of the ASEAN Ministerial Meetings but people are swearing the worst is yet to come.

Anyways I've been having a lot of fun learning to set up conferences and using "aggresive negotiations" with the event company to get what we wanted, when we wanted it. Apparently my Director/Ops thinks that I'm too good natured, so she was trying to train me to be nasty and hound pple so that things get done... Reminds me of what I had learnt previously about task-oriented and people-oriented bosses. I guess given my character, it would be pretty hard for me to be the task-oriented type. People who know me well enough will know that I'm quite the people-oriented "softie" so I will never (or almost never) make life hard for other people as I recognise the fact that other people are also wage-earners like me.

That being said, my character will or should not be an excuse for not being an efficient and effective person at work. Whipping people into shape first requires me to whip MYSELF into shape first. Discipline is the key. Which is why I'm still insisting to write this blog entry when I'm supposed to be sleeping...

The only thing good (and bad) about me is my stubbornness and commitment to whatever I deem is important to me. I guess that's how much importance I put on this event.
