Like the Touch of Rain

Like the Touch of Rain

Like the touch of rain she was
On a man's flesh and hair and eyes
When the joy of walking thus
Has taken him by surprise:

With the love of the storm he burns,
He sings, he laughs, well I know how,
But forgets when he returns
As I shall not forget her 'Go now'.

Those two words shut a door
Between me and the blessed rain
That was never shut before
And will not open again.

Edward Thomas

I am extremely uninspired with regards to this horrible horrible Tales of the Heike which is so boring and so full of war-stuff that it's like a repeat of War Lit, but in a much more boring, droning fashion. (T_T) I weep.

Anyway, I predict that this poem is prophetic, but in a much less serious way, because it is supposed to rain tomorrow, according to the weather forecast. Sigh. I really dislike rain.xP

The 5 Stages of Dying

Hello

Today I was reading the advertisement by the Singapore Hospice Council and it lists Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's 5 stages of dying. Trust me. It's both depressing and snaps you into the reality of your upcoming death [one day... it WILL happen.-_-"].

Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance

I don't think it applies only to dying.. I think these 5 stages actually occur in a lot of other situations like if someone dumps you or something heartbreaking like that. Hmm.

So today I was much busier helping them prepare stuff for submission to competitions and the like.^_^" And I had to research stuff too! AGAIN! Oh. And then I was merrily surfing around DeviantArt.=)

Isn't it morbidly funny? =P It is also ironic and... Strange.

And isn't this SO CUTE? xD

And this is pretty! And cute.=) And sweet too!

I know. All are drawings, none are photographs. But o well.^_^

Today, they showed me this booklet thingy they put together to present to the client. It was SO well done. I swear, I was practically INSPIRED by the sense of accomplishment one would feel when looking at the put-together package [after slogging hard for 3 days with no sleep apparently, and that's not even an exaggeration]. But it was simply.. a touch of brilliant marketing. Honestly. And they even added an extra touch that tied in perfectly with the client. ;) Yet, it still blended in with the overall package. Seriously. I was very impressed.xD

And looking at the work they have done, kind of like a collection of the work done in the past year, I was like.. when I saw those, I liked EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! xD So yes. I was inspired. Again. Haha.=X

*is easily moved*

And then it made me think of how proud you could be to present these brilliant ideas to your clients! Although the clients can be very demanding. Like calling every 15 minutes or something [trust me. I know. I have to pick up the phone ALL THE TIME.] to ... I don't know. Discuss something of DEATHLY importance.

So I must say that I think I would enjoy the work they do. I don't think I'll hate it except that it gets repetitive.. But then again. Which job isn't repetitive? The pay though... The pay is a fabulous disincentive to work in this industry and the long hours.. Thankless work you put in is even more reason to avoid it like the plague.

Working in a bank would induce boredom and repetitiveness as well but hey.. At least you get better pay right?

I think I'll relook career options once I finish this internship. I think 3 months should be enough to help me see if this is what I want to do.. I hope. If I still am not sure.. Hmm. That could be troubling indeed.

I always wish I were creative and good at designing and drawing though. That's something I'd like to do but cannot EVER do. O well.=) Dealing with clients can be *cough* fun too!

Besides DeviantArt, more alice nine. stuff.=D Yay!

I think the important people look terribly good here.xD Hooray!

In the days to come, I think they're going to start giving me more stuff to do and responsibilities to handle.=) I'm looking forward to it!

Work and Japanese homework. Oh glory! We are SLIGHTLY more experienced about worldly matters [ie: work], a LITTLE richer [hah!] and one step closer to reading all about alice nine., Gackt, w-inds. and HYDE without relying on translations!!! xD

cheers

When I'm, you know, free.^_^" And I feel like baking and eating chocolate chip cookies!!! I was SO tempted to do that just now but I was just so tired and I was watching Desperate Housewives! xD Which is REALLY nice to watch. Haha.=P
