WORKING Holiday in London

Amsterdam is awesome!
Even youth hostel is cooler than anywhere else.

We? I don't know him!
Am I in the same category with him? Gosh!

London 377

I spend the whole morning to locate the four offices.
Oh, I see this even though it's not the Red Light District here.
Well, she's not attractive.

16.5.08

To my surprise, Paul hasn't forgotten to pick such
a little people out after so many months.
He is quiet. He gives a gentle smile and says "good"
when he sees work he likes.
He suggests me to go there for a couple of weeks
when I come back from amsterdam.

London 373

Small company. Big People.

I got another email.

Interesting, I like him!
I took physics, chemistry and biology at A-levels,
I majored Economics and Finance at university,
then started as an art director after graduation.

London 370

I sent an email to Steve Henry few weeks ago.
I wanted to tell him the reason why I didn't go to TBWA after W+K
as what he suggested.
I even made a gutsy request...

Oh, he replies me!!!!

London 369

I have had enough hard times outside.
Now it's his turn to step on me. Annoying!

(you may wonder "who is he?"
I had the same question "WHO IS HE?")

London 368

"What? after all those bad experiences in Edinburgh,
you still want to go to Amsterdam?
You've been to many interviews in London already,
so what, nothing comes up! Do you know why?
I really don't understand you, you're still like
a fresh graduate after working for some years.
Do you know how many more months you could survive
on your saving? Then you'll have to go back to Hong Kong!
What's wrong with you?..."

One values the results, the other one values the experiences;
One is practical, the other one has dreams.

Rabbit: The problem is someone doesn't know to respect others!

London 366

I write this email to a friend first.

London 367

Then I write to Gerry talking about the money concern politely.
Again, He disappears!

It's like a benefit acrobatics.
He will never know how bad I felt!

London 365

London 364

When I return to London, I get Gerry's email.

London 363

I watch him enjoying his decent-sized dinner.
He tells me this the moment he asks the waitress for the bill.

I feel sick. So sick that I'm able to vomit a pineapple fried rice
for him to take away as night snack.

London 362

Gerry text me that evening.
He would like me to work on a tv spot with one of their copywriters.
He suggested us to meet.

This guy claims to be so busy that he has to
go back to the office after dinner.
I suggest to have a quick drink at pub.
He picks a Thai restaurant,
he orders quite a lot of food.
Isn't he in a hurry?

He takes a laptop with not much power.
(It sleeps after showing just two 30 seconds tv spots)
Aren't we meeting up in order to know more about each other's work?

London 361

Another song by Beyond.

lyrics:
Where does the road ahead go?
Who comes along with me?
There is no guide, I have to find out the hard way.
Following dreams is like moth flying into fire,
are there some crazy like me?
It's getting dark and cold, I try my best to hide.

How many dreams have you followed naively?
How many dreams have you given up dejectedly?
Facing disappointment with silence.
it hurts in my heart of hearts.

London 360

After Gerry said "IF we will be able to win a pitch in MARCH,
we MAY hire." ( he said something different in email page 1 page 2 )
no matter how he praised for my work, none of his words could get into my ears.

Edinburgh isn't beautiful anymore.
I'm cold. I want to go home!

London 359

London 358

How comes Managing Director is here?

London 357

London 356

Well, I told myself I came to London all the way from Hong Kong,
Going to Edinburgh is relatively easy.

He replied me immediately,
Then i bought the tickets and went to Edinburgh.

London 355

Don't forget Edinburgh too!
Michael said there are many new artists.
Gerry from Leith left me message before,
shouldn't miss this chance!

Both Gemma and Michael reminded me to ask them
to pay for the tickets to Edinburgh.
I emailed Gerry about this ... no reply.
