House Warming Gathering
At my sis' and bro-in-law's house warming gathering.
Was bored so I used their PC for a while. Experiencing the new Vista OS. Came onto Youtube.com and came across a new song by my favourite band's handsome lead guitarist-turn-singer releasing his first own album!
~~~~~
其实还爱你
by F.I.R's 阿沁 Real
我討厭 陰天的風 冷的那麼刺痛
只有你 能夠撫平所有的寂寞
昨天的風箏在角落 被誰丟到了路口
我很不想讓你 找到離開的理由
每一夜 閉上眼睛 我看到了惡夢
你微笑 但是旁邊的人不是我
天空切開一道裂縫 直接割到我心中
不想裝作脆弱 也不想愛得懦弱
其實我非常愛你 不想失去你
難道我沒有權利說我不願意
你給了他的吻 雖然只有餘溫
可知道我多渴望抓住你的心
我知道他很愛你 你怕他傷心
我每天假裝開心 害怕你離去
可不可以任性 求求你不要去
藏在我心裡 最後一句 其實還愛你
每一夜 閉上眼睛 我看到了惡夢
你微笑 但是旁邊的人不是我
天空切開一道裂縫 直接割到我心中
不想裝作脆弱 也不想愛得懦弱
其實我非常愛你 不想失去你
難道我沒有權利說我不願意 哦～
你給了他的吻 雖然只有餘溫
可知道我多渴望抓住你的心
我知道他很愛你 你怕他傷心
我每天假裝開心 害怕你離去
可不可以任性 求求你不要去
藏在我心裡 最後一句 其實還愛你

My First (Not So) Private Event : )
I went for my first "private" event function with my bosses Paul and Catherine at the Old Parliament House (Now the Art House) yesterday.
The event was suppose to be a private launch of Swarkovski crystal lighting. Talking about their most famous chandeliers, Swarkovski is the name. But now, they have modernised and is infusing new modern technologies to be used in modern comtemporary interior decor and its creatives.
I got a press release kit and some door gifts to. I got a couple very beautiful Swarkovski crystals. And I like them.
Hope I could attend more of these functions. I heard that there are also other private functions that have door gifts of free handphones and MP3 players. Wow : P
As for the function, guess it wasn't so private. There were architectural students and many, many other people. Guess the most famous ones I know of are architects from DP Architects. A local but a world renowned architectural company. They were there for a seminar which a Swarkovski staff was talking about the different things their new lighting crystals could do using the basic idea of the refraction of light.
My bosses and I didn't socialise much. The place was cramped with people. And so we decided to leave instead of having the buffet there. We didn't even see the crystal displays as it was too crowded.
~~~~~
And so, we went for our dinner. My bosses brought me to Robertson Quay's Sketches, an Italian restaurant. And they treated me a meal again (Wah lau. My bosses are so good to me. Must work hard or else very sorry to them). We all made and customised our own pasta.
After the dinner, we went to Suntec City's KBox for some karaokeing. We had fun.
Though they're older than me, and the songs they sang were either oldies or songs from the 80s, I didn't mind (Well, they are the ones paying for everything. What's there to complain? Lol).
For me, I sang most of the new songs to update my bosses, sang by either male or female song artists.
I enjoyed the KTV session very much, especially its been a few months since my last one.
Paul definitely rocked. His singing definitely can hold. He can even sing the female part of duet songs with me. Lol. Catherine is good too, even though she said her singing is bad. Its just that she didn't sing Mandarin songs much. So most of the times, she was singing oldies or other English songs. If she practise more Chinese songs, I think she will rock even better.
Looking at this pair of husband and wife playing together made me envy them. They are sure blessed (^.^)

There's Always Sunshine After the Rain : )
I went to lunch with my dear bosses today.
Chaffeured by my great boss Paul, along with Catherine, we headed down to Holland V for lunch during the rains.
I had nice plate of chicken mushroom noodle. The white chicken meat was smooth tender. The mushrooms were tasty. After that, we went for desserts. Paul treated me that.
Crapped a lot with Paul. He wanted me to treat him back egg tarts for tea-break. Sure that wasn't a problem, but I was too busy with work in the afternoon. I shall do that tomorrow ifI can.
Going for a private invite for a Swaskorski crystal exhibition event tomorrow with my bosses. I will dress myself less casual and more formal tomorrow for work, me without my spectacles like I usually is.
Most probably my bosses would say, "Wah.. Jeffery so handsome today."
Then I'll say, "Must not throw my bosses' face mah.."
I am not thick skin. I bet they're going to say these tomorrow. Ha ha ha.
Tired.. Going to sleep.

F**king Sh*t!
My chest feeling a bit "crushed" and compressed.. A bit pain.
This was because I didn't sleep with my bolster last night, especially when I like to sleep in a foetal position.
And what the fuck happen to my big huggy bolster?
Some freaking bird flew into my room when I was out for work and shit all over the place. My wall got shitted. My window got shitted. The head of my bed frame got shitted, and ultimately also kanna my bolster.
I had asked my mother to look at the disaster ground and asked if she had open my room's window but she said no. She even wondered if it was the shit work of common house lizard.
But I told her definitely not common house lizard loh. Did an army of lizards came and shit all over the place? Definitely not right? What did I do to offend them to do that if that's the case anyway? (Lol)
So it must be a bloody idiotic bird. Fucking bird. I'll cage it if I ever catch that damn bird.

A Sneak Peek of My Office..
I was bored in my office. So I took a few pictures for you peeps out there watching to see, how nice my office and the things around are (actually just pretty empty and neat that's all lah).
The latest iMac is a sleek-looking machine, but hangs more than my home PC. More expensive than my home PC. Even reading one normal CD can hang. Hang cannot stop the progress of hanging.
Who says iMac is stable? Nonsense! Lol. (But the recovery system is good lah.)
Another good thing not shown here is my LEATHER office chair. Damn comfy. Got head rest one. Like those for meant for senior excutives or managers you see in TV shows.
Actually there's one picture of me sitting on it show on a previous post (when I was bored).

My company name, hopefully as branded as those brands it features in the future.

My down-to-the-floor windows. Not too bad for the view.

Brains On Meditation.
My brains can't seem to focus now. So here I am blogging a blog post from my fulltime job's workplace for the first time.
I was working on some minor changes of some job tasks the whole morning. But after lunch for the early afternoon, there wasn't really anything for me to do except uploading of my work to my local server.
Paul wanted me to start thinking of working on an advertsing/presentation webby for our company. Went through few of the related magazine publisher webbies which also published their articles online. Frankly speaking, the required visually display contents are not related to what my boss wanted me to do. The only thing I referenced on is the "luxurious" sleek and neat style Paul wanted. But it is so simple to do that I tell you.
Still we're always looking for new break-throughs every now and then.
What made my head big was the possible contents that he wanted to market for our company and magazine. Without that, I can't do the webby's content structure and then its invidual content layout. I didn't ask him about the deatils as I think I should be the one researching for that. Still it is a bit scary that if I came out with something, he might want to change it and effectively it might be a revolution work for me. Why? Because he doesn't exactly know the technical hoo-haas when I created the website. And it'll certainly be a waste of time and effort if he ever does that.
So for now, I should just brainstorm, put all the things I got when I get home. And then show it to him before I make any further move.
Multimedia, including web project like this is certainly a hassle on the pre-planning stage. A minor change in plan may sometimes be revolutionary work. I'll do anything to prevent "double work".
Another thing on my mind is the change of layout style of a certain section on my magazine. This time, it was Catherine. She shown me a Chinese magazine and another English which had pretty good layout on their related sections. But I guess, my dear husband and wife bosses will have to meddle it out to what the doctrine style (look and feel) of the whole magazine they want first before I touch on anything.
On one hand Paul wanted out of the league of the typical layout he sees out of what most magazines do in the market. But on the other hand Catherine wanted something that catches the eyes of people, normally. I do like Catherine's introductions but I do not want to be a creative killer of following the crowd either. But I think the best judges would be our target audience readers who might give us better opinions instead.
After blogging all these, I have a clearer mind of what I am going to do next.
Hooray!

"Sunday Bloody Sunday"
Just came back home from a couple of movies with cousins Vel and Lynn. Finally watched Frank Miller's novel-to-movie "300".
Before that, we did watched another movie, "The Hitcher". But this movie was so short. It lasted for only one and a half hours. That's why all of us went to watch a second movie.
But both movies have one thing in commmon. There's a lot of blood splattering and gore around. But the best blood spills (and sexual scenes) are that of "300". Very artistic cinematography indeed.
Damn. I seem to dislike Sundays. Because its a prelude to Monday, a working day. But yet, I always enjoy my first working day of the week somehow. Nonsense arh me.

Forgetting Time~
I am feeling tired now. But I still feeling good.
Perhaps being busy made me forget time, of how it travels some how slowly..
I had a good day at work today. The issue for April, the second issue of my magazine is 90% done, and things start to ease down. I'm more relaxed yet I feel the urge to work for more. A certain hunger in me.
My boss, Paul, even wonders why I'm so hardworking, as I started to do the month of June's issue's sections. But I told him, if I don't do anything, I'll be slacking! I doubt he wants to see me slacking.
I went lunch with with my bosses, Paul (my CEO) and Catherine (my General Manager). They were treating Edmund, the "bao ka liao" assistant manager who took care of things in the business group. Yes, it is group of companies, not just a company. He helped Affluent took care of the hassle IT stuff. Along with us, there's also the General Manager of Mova, my parent comany's GM, Beatrice.
As a junior staff, I am very indeed honoured to share a table of gourmet dim sum with them, in a good restaurant at Furama Hotel. We all enjoyed our food. Paul even ordered Edmund and I each a bowl of delicious shark's fin soup, and also other dim sum dishes which was well recommended by the senior management there.
After we went back to office, I got a free gift of a very nice keychain of Perrier Jouet champange bottle and a melted but still very sweet and tasty dark choc, both from Loang & Noi.
With bosses like them, how can I not work hard for them?
Like I said, I am "LL" to do so. Haha. Because I am indeed very grateful to how they "pamper" me, that's why I am willing to work hard now.
Perhaps, that's what I am feeling good about (^.^)
After a long day, I still went to CityLink to get my new contact lenses and bought a new album, Stefanie Sun's "Against the Light" from HMV! Wee!
~~~~~
Like I said, I am tired today. Because I went to club yesterday night.
My initial plan was to club or actually I wanted to drink till about 1am then I go home, but well in the end, I had more fun.
I went MoS with Alex with a free entry SMS. Got a couple pints of Bacardi Breezers while we listened to the grooving music and watched the crowd growing from nothing to one that's happening.
Till a certain time, both of us got bored. Beforehand I did call for Xiaomei to come. She was initially relunctant to come. But upon receiving an SMS from her asking whether we're actually clubbing, we know she's actually still interested and tempted to come and club, even though her work time ends 12.30am and initially turn down to com and club.
And so for two hours to 12.30am, Alex and I were thinking and sending her tempting messages to psycho her to come down. Lol. And she came in the end.
And I got more drinks for everyone and I made sure we all had fun by being participative, even though I was tired~
But Xiaomei Janet and Alex sure have their own fun teasing each other at the finger guessing game, at the dance floor and even outside when we left! And they didn't stop when we were at the McDonald's getting some bites. Looking at them play, it made me happy too, because I know they enjoyed themselves.
Damn, they sure made me feel old. They're like kids when they play. And I was too tired to even move a little more actively. I even had cramps dancing for a couple of hours.
Suddenly then, I feel older than I use to be. I am not active as I use to be. I still feel something is still missing in my life. And I need to find out what is it.
I am feeling tired now. But I still feeling good.

逆光
by 孙燕姿
也许我一直害怕有答案
也许爱情浸在风里打转
离开释怀 等断肠又重来
有时候自问自答
我不要困难把我们挤散
我自卑自己那么不勇敢
你还没有到达
拥抱过还是害怕
用力推开你我依然留下
有一束光
那瞬间是什么痛的刺眼
你的视线
是谅解为什么舍不得熄灭
我逆着光却看见
那是泪光
那力量我不想再去抵挡
面对希望
逆着光感觉爱存在的地方
一直就在我身旁
☆。.。.。.

我逆着光确看见
那是泪光
那力量我不想再去抵挡
面对希望
逆着光感觉爱存在的地方
一直就在我身旁
我以为我能后退反复证明
这份爱有多不对
背对着你如此漆黑
感觉疲惫
却看见打开窗才发现你就是光芒
有一束光
那瞬间是什么痛的刺眼
你的视线
是谅解为什么舍不得熄灭
我逆着光确看见
那是泪光
那力量我不想再去抵挡
面对希望
逆着光感觉爱存在的地方
一直就在我身旁

I Need to do Something Different.
My weekend gone, just like that. Didn't feel that I really had a break over the weekend.
Been with the west-sider guys for CashFlow board game again. But I really had a bloody bad hand and bad luck for the game on Saturday night. Sunday was basically dozing and playing game at home. Absolutely aimless.
Basically I was just resting my poor body with is lacked of energy (perhaps absorbed by work) yesterday. Today is Monday again.. Time to work again. Haiz..
Well.. I know I got to work, because I am the only staff and I just started out my career. This meant I had to work because I am "LL". Not really because I love my work very much. Feeling lonely at work.. that kind of feeling. No MSN there either. No colleagues to talk to except my bosses.
I am just hoping that something different or something happening would happen in my life right now. So at least I wouldn't be so bored by the same work thing everyday.
Oh well time to head for work. Take cab : P
My weekend gone, just like that. Didn't feel that I really had a break over the weekend.
Been with the west-sider guys for CashFlow board game again. But I really had a bloody bad hand and bad luck for the game on Saturday night. Sunday was basically dozing and playing game at home. Absolutely aimless.

Free
by Corrinne May
I see the morning glory
It winds upon the tree
It tells the untold story of how things were meant to be
You saw the universe
Caught up in desperate dreams
You came and changed the ending
Changed it to save my fate
You led the revolution
You left your legacy
Embraced the struggle
in the face of mortality
I know I'm not alone in this
Help me believe
I can be free
I can be free from this place
Beautiful healer
Beautiful grace
Help me to see
Everything fall into place
Wake me from dreaming
No more deceiving
Break these chains
It's still the same old story
This great divide
Between the want and waste
And all the hunger inside
I heard the news today
Now I'm trying to find my place
I'm just a single voice
What can I do to erase
All this misunderstanding
All this anarchy
Six degrees of separation
Sometimes it's so hard to see
That we are not alone in this
I need to believe
I can be free
I can be free from this place
Beautiful healer
Beautiful grace
Help me to see
Everything fall into place
Wake me from dreaming
No more deceiving
Break these chains

When Things Fail..
I just got back home. Feeling a bit disheartened and... sad..
I had worked till about 4pm plus and I was hoping my weekend starts for the better as I wished. But things were always not meant to be. Zane went on her blood donation trip without me. And there was suppose to be a plan to go clubbing with my west-sider friends at the St. James Power Station tonight. But the plan failed after a week of waiting.
One of the key clubbing initiates, Claudia had fell ill. I wished her to get well soon. I heard from Claudia that Chee Wee and Huimin couldn't make it for the clubbing too. Although I understand that things are always not meant to be. Right now, I still feel a bit dissappointed.
After work, I went for a lonely lunch plus dinner combined at Big O cafe and restaurant, where Mr Thomas worked for his part-time.
But he wasn't working there today. I guess at that time, I was looking for some company with my friends..
But still, I tried to enjoy my meal alone with a cup of hot mocha and a spiced coriander duck as my main course. The duck was really nice but I had a really hard time cutting it when I tried to eat the inner meat. In the end, I gave up because it was making my hands tired. Though it was quite an expensive meal, I did enjoy the taste. I treated it as my reward for surving my 9-day continuous work.
After my meal, I went for a walk and look-around from Marina Square, to City Link and then Raffles City. I was basically just wandering. Got to note that my fav singer, Stefanie Sun's new album will be coming out on 22nd March at the HMV.
At Raffles City, there was a roadshow for South Australia's lifestyle goods and products. I didn't know why, I came to appreciate those arty farty contemporary stuff for display. Even for red wine, I would take a second to look at it in detail. It seems that work had somehow integrated into my nervous system. Its like I'm studying them.
After the short walk-around, I went to deposit my cheque I finally got from freelancing for ACP magazines through mail.
After that I went home alone and here I am feeling kind of sad after reading a post on Junlong's blog..
Like that grandfather, I was hurt my someone whom I loved, and now I am trying to rebuild myself on my own. But those agony and bouts of sadness would come and haunt me sometimes. Although I didn't think of her anymore, but the sadness she brought me is something that'll always be etched in my heart I guess..
Now I'm just waiting for God to send someone to save me or something..
I am feeling tired now.. going to nap for a while..

I am a Blessed Worker.
Finally I reached Saturday, my 9th straight day of work, and hopefully today the end of the continuous work. I really want to take a full day break tomorrow.
I miss my friends. I miss hanging out with them. And I hope I can work half day today also. I just have so many things I want to do with my friends.
Sick of working I am but still I have to psycho myself that whatever I worked is because my work is important and I am important to my bosses.
So "important" I am to my bosses that I could take a free ride of my CEO's latest Mercedes-Benz home, when my bosses both live in Kembanggan, east of Singapore. Great bosses aren't they?
~~~~~
Yesterday during work, it was the first time I got pek check with work. Why? I kept trying to start another job task in hand but the old ones kept on hauting me, changes requested by clients. Even worse, I was kind of bored, restless and lethargic yesterday especially in the afternoon, I start making mistakes missing out certain details or part of my work. Hate when that happens.
How bored was I am yesterday?
I found ways to amuse myself and my bosses when I am on the negative side. Helps cheer everyone up.
Speaking about my bosses, here's a picture of them.
Yup. My bosses are a beauty and a handsome. They're wife and husband. This photo was taken at an invite only event of Ferrari's 60th Anniversary. Paul told me if I get to learn photography (like I have the time to..), next time he could bring me to such posh events and see how the rich live. I don't mind going of course. Cos' I treat it as an experience.
But of course, I don't need to know how the rich ridiculously live their lives. If I were them, I would most probably do the same, but with a little more charitable events bah.
~~~~~
I really hope I can get off work early. I want to be a blessed person who is able to give. I want to donate blood along with FRIEND. I want to do the things I want and need to do.

Another Day.
Today is the seventh day of work. Yesterday is quite a good day. Done a lot of good work which won praises from my bosses in which I somehow got the that "sian kong" to totally revamp some sections of the the magazine to look better.
My favourite words from my CEO Paul were not the typical praises of "well done" or "good job". It is "Keep up the good work. After your probation we'll discuss better remuneration packages for you."
And I'm obviously thinking about more $$$. Lol.
Anyway, tired and bored at work I am. I tried doing some things lame in the office between my bosses. I put my sext pictures on my iMac desktop wallpaper and tiled them. Of course, I knew when my bosses see them, they sure make a lot of comments, good or bad, sarcastic or not. But it certainly made them laughed and in turned made me cheer up too working "alone".
Another good news, Paul realised I was always late (well, I am only late for 10 or 15 minutes). And he was starting to realise it was a problem against the black-and-white rules. So, he decided to give leeway by letting me start my day at 9.30am and end at 6.30pm (Hey! Its against the black-and-white leaving late too! I always leave work at 7.30!).
That is better. A lot of times I was late because I miss the bus and in which my transport got to move in a slow congested traffic. I didn't bother to explain all these in details cos' these are things I really can't control. I could wake up earlier to take an earlier bus but I would wake up later than I want to be.
Well, 9.30am is a good timing. If I woke up late, I can take cab without the peak hours charges : P
Hope I can go into a pro-active working mood today like yesterday. Time to go. Ta!
(Damn. I really need to get picutres for my blog!)

Not Enough Time..
Oh my God. I've been working for 5 straight days now. And now I feel so tired as I generally slept only 7 hours per day.
On weekdays when I reached home, there's only enough time for me to relax before I could have any fun and entertainment. I normally would go to sleep after some chit-chat with FRIEND. Sure working life is no fun. Its even worse without any colleagues to whine to (I never whine in front of my bosses, its a taboo for me).
Damn it. I still have 4 more days to go.
I really hope the clients could make up in their minds what to do for their advertising. Their changes really sickens me and waste my time on better productive work.
Taking cab to work now. I really need some entertainment..

Weekend Burning!
I am now feeling a wee-bit high drinking last night at Zouk + Phuture with my BMT buds Alex and Chee Keong. Bumped into other BMT mateys like "Y" and Pinhan with his girl friend (or girlfriend? Hehe).
To make everyone a little happier, I treated them a couple of jugs. Its been quite some time I've seen Chee Keong and Alex, especially Chee Keong. Judging on their career and financial situation, now I seem to be the richest guy than the both of them.
Well, life is always full of twists and turns. But most of the time, where you go is normally where you chose to be, regardless of the positive or negative consequences that came to you. One must be prepared for the the bullshit of life he or she is going to face.
For me? I got my own "ordeals" to go through too.
Had a pretty long day yesterday and was feeling tired after work. I went home to take a nap before I went to club.
My first day was a learning day for me. The outgoing designer, Loren is a very gracious and a reponsible person. She taught me thoroughly and systematically what I am suppose to do for my job after she left. The things I learnt were pretty basic in regards to publishing line technics.
But the most impressive things she did was teaching to the advancement of my InDesign software skills. At ACP Asia, what I learnt for InDesign was pretty basic. I am a lazy person who always thought that clicking on the tool bar is faster that using shortcut keys (because my fingers are short). But now, using an iMac, I am forced to learn to use many, many shortcut keys. And surprisingly, know how slowly I pick up things, I managed to pick most of the common shortcut keys somehow. In return, I also taught Loren some of the shortcut keys she actually didn't know.
Now, I can proudly say, my InDesign technical skills is officially on the intermediate level rather than basic.
Oh well, gotta head for work. Though I know I must work, but it still feels so sian working on a Saturday, and I might be working late tonight : (
Now I am really hoping someone can come and entertain me.

Simple Life.
Hello people! Well I wonder if people really did visit my blog. Cos' its sure been really quiet.
Anyway, haven't been blogging for quite a few days, which is unlike me. Nope I'm not exactly busy these days though I am doing my own favourite hobbies like reading, cybering and exercising.
This week I have been exercising throughout, I'm either running or working out in my room. Feel very good sweating it out. Its like back to the good old days during my secondary school days and poly days when I made myself looking good and being fit again.
I am physically tired. But I am also socially bored. Haven't been going out with my friends doing things or chilling out etc. The only time is yesterday, where Johnson and Hong Yun came to my house to play Cashflow board game again.
It was fun. The first game I struggled quite badly. But the second game, it was a perfect breeze for me. I stayed on in the rat race game to watched both Hong Yun and Johson struggled there for about 5 hours! Hong Yun won both games in an instant once he enytred the second part of the Cashflow game. I don't mind losing, because the process was fun!
But I really do miss chilling out, pubbing or clubbing. I was hoping to chill out tonight before I start work tomorrow and then work through my weekend and then continue the week after...
A bit sian when I knew I had to work one shot 7 days for the moment I start work but.. oh well.. What to do? Life's like that. Life sucks especially at starting periods which is normally tough. I'll have to bite through it.
Going to Soon Wei house for more social games.. Wonder if I'll go chill tonight.. Hmm...

My Lunar Birthday : )
Lunar Calendar: 1st Month, Day 15 "Chu Shi Wu" or "Yuan Xiao Jie" (Lantern Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day.) Yes, today is also my lunar birthday too for this very special Chinese festival on the lunar calandar.
I received an extra ang pow from mummy as my birthday gift.
A pity that CNY is going to be over though.. Hope next year's CNY could be even better!
~~~~~
I had a bad night last night. I was suppose to wake up before 6am to see if I can see the moon eclipse on my birthday.
But sadly, I couldn't see the astronomical event that happen every 3 years. Before that could happen, I tried to sleep, but I got a tummyache and diarrhea. I guess Marmite yeast soup doesn't mixed with NutriSoy very well. So much for my itchy mouth..
Anyway, during the afternoon, I went to watch the war film with my best friend, Elvin, Letters from Iwo Jima by Clint Eastwood. It is the other companion movie to Clint's earlier movie release, Flags of Our Fathers. The differences are basically the viewpoint stories between the Japanese and the Americans on the importance of Iwo Jima.
But the movie was not spectacular. It is like a movie documentary. Unlike Flag of Our Fathers, this film has less battle scenes' excitement. This movie features mainly on the psychological struggles of the Japanese soldiers. If you don't understand the Pacific war or even like war films, you might find the movie boring.
But for me, the movie turns out to be quite average although Ken Watanabe still rocks.
My rest of my Sunday was pretty boring. Junlong suddenly called me before the movie as he wanted to chat with me. A man don't really call another man unless he's bloody bored. So I entertained Junlong after my movie by playing online game with him. It was fun..
..but somehow, I rather have more excitement and entertainment doing realtime activities with my friends.
I actually feel quite lonely now..

I Found A New Job (Again) : )
In the end, I went for the second interview without submitting my design works. But still upon reaching there, I still have to do their test there at their office, to design their pages.
I felt a bit stressed at first, as I was being stared by 3 pairs of eyes, the outgoing deisgner whom I'm going to be replace, the general manager Catherine and my CEO, Paul.
I was using a Mac computer. I wasn't use to the Apple command key. kept pressing the alt key for for shortcut functions. I know what I was going to do. But I was just doing the test a bit slowly. In the end, I got basically what they wanted for their design style.
Their magazine, named Affluent, just published their first bi-monthly copy. It was basically a fresh new company. The good thing about the magazine is, the design style is basically set and template done. but the bad news is, I'm going to replace the outgoing designer, whom the bosses said she was ill-disciplined.
Sounds familiar? yeh. I replaced an outgoing designer at another company last year October. And for this case, not only that, I'll be the only graphic designer yet again, for the third time, without any fellow co-workers, except my higher ups.
And like the job I did at Bukit Timah, I was to be left alone and to what-ever I needed or assigned to do. Deja vu. but this time, I know what to do, rather than being a blur sotong, and with an art director who doesn't direct me at all.
This time is basically the same. but I realised I got to be more independent. Anyway, its a new magazine, the bosses say. I can do whatever creative to sell as long as I followed their rules. A perfect training ground for me, yet there's alot of things that I knew I got to learn.
This is publishing. I guess I would be visting the printer too when the time comes. but for now, I got to learn to pick up working with a Mac again. And learn to be routined. Been having my own time too much. Might take some time to adjust.
Anyway, after the test, I was offered the job immediately. They said I was the better choice out between myself and another designer girl. They said they preferred my shut up and just-do-it attitude, and I listened to them. And I do have some experience working in the publishing line.
I immediately signed my employment letter, and I would be starting work next Friday and through the next coming weekend for starters.
Thanks to Linda again. Without her referrals to ACP Asia publishing and later on, to this current job, I think I'll still be bumping between odd job and freelancing. With the introduction to ACP Asia, I doubt I'll get this job an easier way.
With this job, I can better settle down, concentrate working towards my ultimate dreams.
I owe Linda two treats, hope to treat her soon. And I also hope to see her cute dog, an English Spaniels, Kookee!
And thank you God for giving such a blessing, an angel friend 0: )

I was using a Mac computer. I wasn't use to the Apple command key. kept pressing the alt key for for shortcut functions. I know what I was going to do. But I was just doing the test a bit slowly. In the end, I got basically what they wanted for their design style.
Their magazine, named Affluent, just published their first bi-monthly copy. It was basically a fresh new company. The good thing about the magazine is, the design style is basically set and template done. but the bad news is, I'm going to replace the outgoing designer, whom the bosses said she was ill-disciplined.
Sounds familiar? yeh. I replaced an outgoing designer at another company last year October. And for this case, not only that, I'll be the only graphic designer yet again, for the third time, without any fellow co-workers, except my higher ups.
And like the job I did at Bukit Timah, I was to be left alone and to what-ever I needed or assigned to do. Deja vu. but this time, I know what to do, rather than being a blur sotong, and with an art director who doesn't direct me at all.
This time is basically the same. but I realised I got to be more independent. Anyway, its a new magazine, the bosses say. I can do whatever creative to sell as long as I followed their rules. A perfect training ground for me, yet there's alot of things that I knew I got to learn.
This is publishing. I guess I would be visting the printer too when the time comes. but for now, I got to learn to pick up working with a Mac again. And learn to be routined. Been having my own time too much. Might take some time to adjust.
Anyway, after the test, I was offered the job immediately. They said I was the better choice out between myself and another designer girl. They said they preferred my shut up and just-do-it attitude, and I listened to them. And I do have some experience working in the publishing line.
I immediately signed my employment letter, and I would be starting work next Friday and through the next coming weekend for starters.
Thanks to Linda again. Without her referrals to ACP Asia publishing and later on, to this current job, I think I'll still be bumping between odd job and freelancing. With the introduction to ACP Asia, I doubt I'll get this job an easier way.
With this job, I can better settle down, concentrate working towards my ultimate dreams.
I owe Linda two treats, hope to treat her soon. And I also hope to see her cute dog, an English Spaniels, Kookee!
And thank you God for giving such a blessing, an angel friend 0: )

Xuete (Shit)!
Damn it. Just woke up early just now to try and do some design works to be shown to the interviewer for my second interview later on in the morning..
..but shit happened.
When I opened up my Illustrator programme, it couldn't run..
Worst, I don't have the installer with me as I lent it to someone else (and don't know who some more).
If you asked why I didn't do it earlier, this design test was given to me on on Thursday evening. I didn't had the time to do it on that night also because I was doing other stuff.
Yesterday, I had worked for my part-time catering for almost 12 hours.. By the time I reached after doing some of my banking stuff, it was already 10pm plus. After dinner and showers, it was already almost 11pm when I was really damn tired..
Tried to wake up after midnight to work but my body was just too tired from all the physical work I did for the part-time, in which it was a day where I did all every single task that I had to do for that part-time job within a day. From prepartory packing, to moving of equipment and food, to setting of the buffet all by myself (first time and it was a big buffet) and to unpacking and cleaning. And also, two things I hate to do most, making namecards and ironing of table clothes.
Haiz.. Now, I hope the interviewers would accept my request to design the pages on spot by using their programme and workstation.. *Sigh..*

Sick of Working Part-Time..
Haiz.. So fast. My days of rest are going to be over. Tomorrow, I'll be going back to work part-time for the catering company.
So sianz. Everytime after I organised, clear all the mess and tidy up their store, the things is messed up again when I go back after a couple of days. Wah piang. No wonder full-timer Rizal is sick of his job there also.
So siaz.. I rather use the the time for tomorrow to finish up their webby.. Shouldn't have promised them to work part-time tomorrow, so sickening.
~~~~~
I suddenly had to go for a job interview for a magazine publisher just now. The interview went pretty well, and now, I have one more test to go.
Paul, whom I suppose who is the chief editor passed me some pictures and wanted me to design a few pages of their magazine as a mock-up test for me. They wanted to test my design aesthetics.
The deadline is this coming Saturday morning. I haven't seen the pictures but I hope its gonna be easy for me. I'll be revolutionising their magazine design feel. Cos' I seriously thought that their magazine design is too.. simple. Lack a sense of boldness.
Well, got to think of that for tomorrow night.
Damn.. Suddenly so little time to do things. Crap!
