".................but the bad thing is I am only given 2 weeks and sadly this is gonna be my last. "
Today has been a day that everything finally went right. My mentors brought me to present some of the ideas I had for certain clients to the creative director. And it seems like he did enjoy what he saw, i hope. And then he asked the golden question, "Is this your last week here?", which I replied, "Yes. Tomorrow is my last day in fact"
In comes my mentor who interjected, "Actually he would like to extend his work experience here for a few more weeks......."
And the CD agreed!
Well something as small as this can actually make me sooo happy. Goes to show that I really really love what I am doing. I figured that even if it means I don't get paid but I am still relishing it goes to show that I truly love this. It's getting more exciting now, cos this time I might actually get to follow through with those ideas I presented and hopefully make it come to life. Also, I think I might get paired up with an intern Art Director to form a team as he mentioned. Of course I don't want to hope too much yet. For all you know, if some stupid HR cockup takes place, I might not get to stay after all. But at least I can take comfort in the fact that the people here are receptive for me to stay on.
Sceptics might think that "well....they are not gonna pay you......so its not loss to them". I beg to differ. All I want is for an avenue to do what I love and at the meantime I am loving it.
Lastly I wanna say that I am really appreciative and grateful to the guidance my mentors provided me especially giving me the opportunity to show what I could do. And I know I am in good hands. Here...take a look at one of the ads the two of them created which exemplified why

"The harder you fight for something and when you finally get it, the more you would cherish it"
To more hard work to come
Cheers
