Fly or Die?

about me

A neurotic, nail biting, slightly schizo, caffeine crazed copywriter who doesn't know better than waste her life in the pursuit of the golden pencil a.k.a The One Show. To console me, click here.

people mentioned in this blog

I realised that it is increasingly difficult for you to identify who's who in this blog. So here's a rundown. Will try to categorise entries to names but that will take some time, cause I still haven't figured out how to do it.
In the agency
Big Billy - Boss, my Creative Director
Donna - beautiful bimbo Account Executive
Heng - the art director I used to work with
Hoe, Mr - my favourite client
Jenna - the art director I'm working with now
Susan - street smart Group Account Director
Tina - my Traffic Manager
Tomas - fellow copywriter, confidante

Beyond the agency
June & Mila - my best gal pals
Matt - the guy dating me
Minnie & Moe - my guppies
Trish - the friend who set me up with Matt

*all names have been changed.

I'll paste work here periodically. But none of them will be real client work - just my own initiates and doodling.

awesome ad of the week

G-Day Coffee TVC. Scene opens on guy trying to slide down a dry water slide. He gets stuck. He finally manages to squeak all the way down. TVC ends with him savouring a mug of G-Day coffee and the tag "Save water for G-Day coffee". A bit unreal but I love the humour. And the talent, the Each Other actor (I forgot his name), is super. He makes it work.

fly or die

Wednesday, December 31, 2003
It's a big thing, you know. This countdown thing. If your colleague asks you, 'What are you doing tonight?' And you answer, 'Nah, staying home and watching National Geographic. It's cheetahs tonight.' Bet your bottom dollar you'll be branded uncool, unhip, unwanted. Get this. Alcohol Quotient equals Cool Factor. The day after the hangover, they'll sit round and regale each other on how much they drank, what they drank, who they drank with, who puked, who swore, who's the dickhead or slut, and who didn't get home. And that will be a bloody good party. Pencil chewed at 7:00:00 pm //

It's the last day of the year. Seems like a good day to turn over a new leaf and stop being such a slacker. "But won't this blog take more time away from 'serious' work?" (Stuff in double quotes are by my responsible, law-abiding alter-ego.) Nah, tis supposed to be inspiring. "Yeah, right!" My CD a.k.a Big Billy gave me the evil eye the other day. 'Show me the metal!' he roared. Yeah, same drill. Win some Kancils (Malaysia's advertising Oscars) or I'll get a fancy boot mark on my butt. Ooh, I'm scared. Still it leaves me with no choice but make one life changing resolution for 2004. Fly or die. Pencil chewed at 6:37:00 pm //
