Fly or Die?

fly or die

Thursday, October 28, 2004
Matt's debut Dinner is done. "Are we going to talk? My half a million blog readers are wanting to know what's the deal," I ask. It's the first time we meet since BloggerGate. He smiles a little and look at me with those sad brown eyes. He is quiet but not visibly upset. He honestly is quite good at torture. "Okay," he sighs. "So?" "Fine. It's your blog. Write whatever you want." "And?" "And what?" "You didn't sulk for 3 days to tell me this, did you?" He sighs. I sigh. "Tell you what. Let me post an entry in your blog." "Let you what?" "Don't you want to educate me on this whole blogging thing? Just one entry." My mind raced. Hmm ... risky, risky. But on the other hand, what the heck, the man has the right to defend himself. And it could be potentially be fun too. So I agreed. But on conditions. I warn, "Don't you dare change anything, post any pictures, reveal who I am or who you are. If not, this Fly will die. And take you along. Last but not least, please do grammar and spell checks." I've sent him a guest blogger invite. I don't know when he will post his debut entry. Or what he'll write about. So, all I can say is, watch this space. I might live to regret this. Pencil chewed at 5:17:00 pm //

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.

my zany portfolio

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.
