It’s pretty late. Just finished watching a DVD. I’ve got things on my mind. Am happy yet sad at the same time.

My ex colleague just PMed me saying that the EHM2009 won a gold medal for the Effie Awards. Boy oh boy am I proud. I really didn’t expect it. It was a passion based project that I worked on. CSR, the earth and charity has always been something that I love doing.

I was one of the two Project Managers for that project. I knew that when I sent in my email to TKE, my director thought I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. Perhaps I was even a joke to them. But as I said, it’s based on my passion and my previous work with Unilever. I took it on.

I first discussed it with him when I got the blast email from TKE. He told me to give it a shot. Do something that I loved. So, I took the plunge and dove right into it. There were times when I myself thought I was kidding myself. I wanted to give up, wanted to hand the title over to someone else. He never failed to encourage me, telling me to prove everyone around me that they were wrong. Some ex-colleagues thought I was crazy enough to take that job as it was FOC. I had to sacrifice a lot of my personal time for it. It was good that I took it up. It occupied me during my lonelier days.

Having said all that, it was truly a remarkable experience. Working closely with WWF and all the top guns of LB. This little girl did leave her impact. I can do things bigger than me.

But as am typing away, deep inside…I wish I could share the joy I have over this award with him. I felt like texting him. Would he care? Perhaps not. So I shall share it with anybody who would be proud enough of me. This little girl who is trying to make it big in her very own life.
