We had our annual media event this afternoon and instructions from above was to mingle and interact with the clients since we are 'client servicing' executives.

Well, in the two months I have been there, if I was not involved in the trainings a week back, the clients I have interacted with could be counted with my fingers. Because of the trainings, I could at least identify and recognise some of the people I met today.

Anyway if you know me, I am not the PRsy type of person. I am not comfortable at parties and when I answer quizzes regarding parties, I would always choose the 'You look for a familiar face and speak to him/her all night' option. But I made an effort to go around today, and managed to talk to clients quite comfortably (at least there were no awkward silences).

However, in my trying attempt to remember the names of the clients I had met before (people like to be remembered and recognised), I sounded like a groupie when I saw C*rrine, the editor of a certain women's magazine (I am sure you know which one). This was the first time I met her, but I recognised her immediately. I just blurted out 'You are C*rrine right?' a tad too enthusiastically. I regretted it the moment I said it. She must be thinking I am a fan of her mag, which I am not. I don't mind reading the mag, that's for sure (esp when it was passed on from my bro's gf = free), but I definitely prefer other mags.

We proceeded to have dinner at Jumbo seafood restaurant where I stuffed myself silly again. I mean, how can I resist the prawns and crabs that were looking at me pathetically cuz no one wants to eat them? Haha! Ya, I just gained half a kilo from that meal, I am sure.

Just read the email from WaiPeng about Alumni Day and realised that someone from our co. is going to be a speaker...hmmm are we going? I guess not right? Heh.
