The world after i trimmed my eyebrows

I started work - a 4 day stint at Global Business Insights, today.
They needed a native Indonesian speaker to do some industry study for a project and voila, i landed myself a quick buck thanks to some recommendations. The pay is not bad, and it beats vegetating in hall in the midst of dust and grime.

All i had to do is sit in my air-conditioned cubicle, make one thousand and one phonecalls to various indonesian companies and gather market information. The first half hour as i sat there listening to instructions, i nearly hyperventilated to death. So much business terms! Stockist, distributors, carbon steel, alloy steel, hot rolled, cold drawn, had to ask about estimated volumes of productions, market share, and not to mention that i had to sorta translate them all the indonesian.

cheem-inology.

After some boo-boos and hem-hawing a little, i think i got the hang of it.

Of course, i would die if i have to do telemarketing-ish job for 7 hours a day, 5 days a week and every single weekday of the month. But for 4 days and for the moolah i'm pocketing, it's not too bad.

Briony got into the finals of the make-up competition for Emerge and one of the perks for being her model is that i get free eyebrow trimming. I didn't know that trimming one's eyebrows would make such a difference to one's face. yay i'm happy. :)

I'm glad i didn't get down to blogging right after my exams ended because if so, this would have been one helluva depressed and nasty post. But i shall save myself the heartache and tuck it in some hidden corner where it doesn't threaten my sanity.

That's all for updates. over and out.
