i am kristy

Seriously I never knew the extent of that until I did it! It feels sooooo good, esp after walking around the whole day in SoHo and Lan Kwai going to venues and talking to managers/staff, handing out my card, making sure the promo is going alright etc. It's interesting cuz some places are really into it and have heaps of positive feedback, in others there's little interest and they're not even using our coasters! aiya... Will go around later in the week to makes sure they are... it was pretty fun though, being amongst it all

ok so far in my first week I've:
- helped delivered coasters and stands to 58 venues, and taken pictures in SoHo, LKF and Wanchai (check out current campaign atVenue Alliance)
- help take my laptop to get fixed in Wanchai
- gone to four meetings with Simon (Wanchai, Taikoo, SoHox2)
- picked up a cheque in Happy Valley
- helped to take our end of year accounts to the accountants in TST
- drafted letters, replies, quotes, invoices and a press release
- sorted out a licence for trade promotion competitions for a client
- talked to SCMP and Apple Daily for advertising fees

- changed the water several times
- put together my cabinet and another one, which has a drawer jammed

ok I think that's enough for now, I'm sure more will come along. I guess it's all good being busy and all, it gives me something to do and I admit I like multi-tasking. I guess I need to learn to prioritise and focus on what's important. The time we have is so valuable!

And besides work there's lots of other stuff I wanna be doing! Mel's in town till Sunday, so want to spend as much time with her as possible - so met up with her and Neens after work, shopping, eating and just got home a lil while ago...

Girls night at Amy's last nite was great! I really loved it and knew God was leading us during that time. And it gets me excited about what God is going to teach us and use us to encourage and support each other. Good thing it'll be fortnightly, a bit more manageable.

180 is such a blessing and just want to serve in any way, so this weekend I'm helping out with the food&beverage, which is always a favourite... hmm might be making ambrosia, a taste of NZ :) yummm
which reminds me there's 8am prayer meeting tomorrow, so better go to bed (dpma I will be there!!)

woah long blog - thanks for reading
