*ring ring~*

Listen to the conversation below.......

Debbie: Good afternoon, can I speak to someone in-charge of sponsorship for college events please?
Ms Popular: Sorry, our boss meeting.

Debbie: Good afternoon, (conversation same as above)
Ms Nestle: Sorry we cannot sponsor anything.

Debbie: (same as above)
Ms Berjaya Coffee: Hold on, please. (transfer the call)
Debbie: (listening to background music for 2 minutes, then decided to hang up)

Debbie: (again the same line of words)
Ms Tesco: Hold on arr...... (then hangs up)

These are just some of the few conversations I had with a few people from the companies I called up for sponsorship. How did I feel? You bet I didn't feel great. As of today, I gave up. Been owrking on a few sponsors for 2 weeks, but only one responded with a handful of door gifts (one is better than nothing, I supposed). Life at this point is tough, and stressful. I've finally understand how some people can succumb to a condition called 'stressed out'!! (0.O)" It really is as bad as it sounds. It'll drain you emotionally. It's funny to think that I've motivated a few people and can't motivate myself as this point of life.

To add to my dismay, I suck at being a leader. Trust me, I'm no good leader. I 'thought' I was initially until I found out being a leader means facing with critism, failures, and unsupportive people all the time. There will be negative forces around you all the time who'll try to bring you down all the time when you are working on some major project (and yes, I learn that line from The Apprentice, and it's really as true as they say it).

I wonder how people like Arroyo or Megawati can become Presidents of their respective country for a few years. They must have face a zillion time more pressure, critism, and back-stabbing compared to what I'm facing now. How did they managed to pull-through?? I just don't know. Why the heck did they chose me as a leader for our college community? Was it because I was the Head of Academic's daughter? Was I a better scape-goat? I bet I fulfilled all these requirements.

If I could make time stand still, I would wanna stop the clock back then when I was in secondary school. Life then was simple and nice. Or perhaps the time when I was in YDP. Everything was perfect~ If only I could runaway from all this hassle, I would. If only ......................

just another day..... posted at 7:52 PM.
