This is the 3rd time I'm blogging in this cold cold boring office...... I think boss is really very bias, got favouritism...... Well, I'm just saying how he treat my other colleagues. Not me, because I never talk to him unless showing him my stuff. Today, he, his wife and my senior manager went to their new shop again. This is funny, my senior manager is there to dye her hair. When? During office hour of course. Oh is that what they mean by setting a good example?? Boss brought her down to dye HAIR!!! omg.... Initially, my senior manager is supposed to do one thing. In the end, boss asked my other colleague to do.... How bias can he be. Pity my colleague. Well, today, I printed out all the stuff to show him. Just as I was about to sit on the chair, almost butt touching the chair, he said " Can I talk to you later? You leave these here, I talk to you later, I'm busy with work now"........ So embarrassed.... Then I faster stood up again and said ok.... And left his room.... Nuts... Busy about the salon right?? I think their hearts and soul are all in that new salon cum beauty shop.... He can jolly well close down this company if he want. Is that new shop really that important than this company? This company can earn thousands for one event. Does that shop earn that much? In a day??? Oh my.... Heck care....
Today, I used office printer to print out all my work that I've done for this company. Lol... The ink was new, but I used until it became half... So, out of guilt, I stopped printing lol.... Somemore I printed 2 copies each, because one is for submission of report and one is for myself to keep. The printing are all in full pages. Wahahaha.... Maybe before I leave this company then I print the rest. If not wait they ask why the ink so fast used up. My colleague know I'm printing my work here, but she don't mind as she hated the boss too. Just now when boss was in, I already started printing, he passed by me and asked whether those stuff I showed him are printed using my printer. I said yes. At that point of time, I was printing a poster. He asked what is it. I said it's my colleagues work lol... Then he nod his head and left. Actually that poster was done weeks ago, and the clients already accepted the design lol.... Lucky he didn't ask much. Some more the client not under him hahaha.....
Haiz.... Boss just went to his shop like that, without telling me whether he accepted my work or need any changes or not. Haiz.... So now, I'm so bored.... Nothing to do leh...... Hope 5pm can come faster.
This Saturday, I am invited to their official opening of the new shop. Haiz... Don't feel like going... But what to do? No choice.... Give face la... Some more must share money with my colleague to buy the flower thing to congratulate them that day. Pay so less already still must spend money buy them that thing... Poor me... Sob sob... This company head n leader sucks.... I know... I know how they treated everyone, although they never treat me like that, but I know. I won't wan to work here next time haha.... Who want? Some colleagues are telling me they are planning to leave when they found a job. I think this company can close down one day... I'm saying the truth, because there's not much staff here. Even if one staff left, this company will stuffer...
Enough of talking this stupid company... I mean, company with bias boss and bosses who think they are good..... Yucks....
Hmmm... I love the time when they are not around. Me, sitting at the corner, can do my own stuff alone haha... I even played msn game with my bf just now lol....
Haiz... Another half hour will be 5pm... Hmmm... Maybe I can surf net... Buaiz...

Haiz..... Working is so tiring...... =(
Long time never update my blog liao. Too lazy.... Too tiring la....... Work is getting more and more boring. Especially when I need to design the company's portfolio. To me, it's important and I want to make the portfolio special and nice. Since Monday I've been doing it, until Thursday, my boss came and asked what am I doing. I told him I'm designing the portfolio. He took a look at them and said that's not what he want, and rejected EVERYTHING! I really hate that. First, he didn't tell me what exactly he want. He only handed the old portfolio to my colleague and asked her to pass it to me to re-design. I thought he wanted the same format of the portfolio.... The old portfolio looks like a folder which you can slot the proposal into it. It consist of 3 pages at the front and 3 pages at the back. I did the same format, only that I redesigned the whole thing. And now, boss told me he wanted something out of the box. I asked whether he still want the 6 pages thing. He said no, he said I can design as many as I want, then at the end of the day we can try to see how to fold the portfolio. He must be kidding. How to fold a folder to so many pages? I told my colleague that he rejected all my work. My colleague said he is nuts. She took a look at my designs and said she love them, but she just told me that the boss is like that. Even at first if I do according to what he said, he also will reject. He love to make people do things again and again. Hump! Hate him. Pervert. All my hard work gone. Hate it.... Waste my time. Never mind I got plenty of time to waste. Till now, I'm still designing the portfolio, only 1 work at the moment. The more he waste my time, the lesser work I'll do for him. Hump!
On Thursday, lady boss asked whether I can stay behind after work to help her fold the invitation cards for the people as she is going to open a new salon soon. I said ok without thinking. In the end, around 4 plus then they started printing the cards. I was supposed to leave work at 5pm, in the end, helped them till 7pm then go home. Arggggg...... Waste my time again. Folding 100 invitation cards and slothing them into envelopes. The next day, my colleague told my other colleagues that the boss is too much, making me stay till so late... And she complained and complained... I just kept quiet and smile... I'm glad I'm visible to them.... I'm gald that someone at least cares for me there ... =)
On Friday, my colleague drove me and one other colleague out to Hougang Mall to have lunch. We had KFC there. While eating, two of them kept talking bad about the boss, lady boss and the senior manager. I've long heard that boss and senior manager is bad, but to me, I still think they are ok. However, they told me that I'm new, so I still don't know how bad they are. They love to ask people do things for them. My colleague said last time when she was new she also thought they are nice, so they kept using her. Now, she knew how to protect herself. They told me not to promise to stay over again after work to help them, coz my pay is low and that is not my job too. The opening of the new salon is their own personal matters, but they asked me to do, and some more till so late. They said they are not teaching me to be bad, but teaching me to learn not to be bullied by others. Haiz.... Do I really look like that kind of person who people love to bully? Because everywhere I went for work, alot people will tell me the same thing....
Some of the things they said also got points. I've decided not to help them if they asked me to stay again. After what they told me, I finally realized that the office has so many conflict and people with mask. My senior manager is like a friend to me, first day of work helped me with alot of things. Sometimes I also felt she is so cute, but I never knew that she is that type of person. It's not that I listened to what my colleague said and judge her like that, but I saw it with my own eyes, and there's some proof for me to see too... Sigh.... Office life also can have so many things. That day, we really chatted alot, and gossiped alot. My colleague and me had the same views on someone and someone haha.... Then we really laughed out loud. They said I am bad as I am only there for one month and realised so many things there. Hehez.... What my colleague and me said is not impossible.... Although that matter looks like it can only happen in TV drama, but TV drama things can happen in the real life too.... In the office, there's only 7 people including me, my boss, lady boss and senior manager..... there's 3 people in one gang, they are the boss, lady boss and senior manager, the rest is me and the colleagues haha.... One of the colleague is also a manager, but she didn't care about the boss and so on and just concentrate on her work. And she's also the one who brought me to KFC haha.... Poor life.... Shake head.... Lucky I am leaving soon after my attachment haha.....
I hoped the boss can appreciate what everyone had done for them.... haiz...
Going Sri Lanka again on the 21st to 23rd of May. 2oth is the last day of my attachment, 24th is the first day of school.... Haiz.............. No time to rest. Actually, my mum and brothers are all going Sri Lanka on the 20th.... But I have to go with others on the 21st, as I need to finish my attachment first. My lady boss knew it and said that she can allow me to go on the 20th and won't tell my lecturer haha.... hmmmm..... I am still deciding...... Keke.....
For the reflection of the attachment, I should say that I learnt one thing..... I came to realise how ugly is the society..... No matter how hard the life is, some things really cannot say out, and must tolerate.... Haiz.....
Talking about reflection, I need to finish writing it on the SIP log book already. It's the 4th week, I only wrote the 1st week reflection, and the rest I really don't know what to write wahaha.... Ok got to go.... Cracking brain time!

I'm in the office again heh heh..... So boring that I don't have the mood to do my stuff . So I decided to blog here. Actually, since yesterday I already don't have the mood to do work. They asked me to design their company portfolio, the one which they put their notes in the portfolio and distribute to all the clients. I felt that their old portfolio is so nice and creative. Now I don't have the inspiration to design a new one. Actually, since yesterday I've been designing already, but I am doing it very slowly. Today also.... I don't even have the mood to come to work today one. So tiring. Eyes also swollen due to lack of sleep. So hungry now...... Haiz.....
Hmmm.... On Sunday, I finally met up with Bao Zhen. We went Chinatown together to buy cds. Some of the new albums are quite cheap. I don't really know whether it's pirated, because the packaging looks so original. Cyndi Wang new album only cost $3.90. F.I.R new album also around that price. I wanted to buy Li Sheng Jie cd album, but after that, I saw Twins cd album, only $4.80, same as Li Sheng Jie, so I was wondering which should I buy. After pondering for a moment, I decided to grab Twins cd, as I only have one of her song in my pc. For Li Sheng Jie, I have 2, so I think I better grab the Twins cd. However, got a bit regret, because the songs are normal, not say nice or not nice. The nice songs are on the tv commercial lor. However, there's some free postcards given. It's actually twins picture la. The cd album really looks so original.
Had a long chat with Bao Zhen that day. We really don't have any secrets in mind. It's really great to catch up with friends once in a while.
Haiz.... Feeling moody now. I'm really tired. Super duper tired...... Tired of this tired of that, even tired of my life. My life sucks.... Hate it.... Hate myself....
Tripped myself yesterday near the drain. Stupid me, really hate myself. Was blind yesterday, that's why I tripped. S***! Now my leg felt a bit weird. Don't know is pain or wat. A little bit like sprained my leg like that. But I won't go see docter one. Never never!!!! Unless I can't walk! But if can take mc also good. No need to work. Haiz..... I am so tired I really wish I can take MC!!!
Hate this life!

I'm dead beat!
Just came back from fort canning park. It's very fun today. I went to eat with my bf at plaza singapura. After that, our staff met us somewhere there and drove us to fort canning park with a big lorry. There are actually 20 over people helpers there. I was so lucky to be sitting in front of the lorry with air con because my colleague pulled me and one girl in. Just got to know that girl today. Made a friend there =) My colleague said nvm, the rest of the girls and guys can sit behind. Even my bf also sat behind lol. Just got to know that girl today. Made a friend there =)
When we reached that place, I saw my banners..... Oh my god.... So touched.... I wanna cry.... Lol.... I saw my banners, entrance arch and signages there.... Haaaa..... A pity I never take any photos there. Hmmmm.... Then we got down there and my colleague started to brief us a while later. Then we also went to change our t-shirts. There's only 8 girls including my colleague there. My colleague is the one in charge as she is from the office, as for me, I'm only the girl doing attachment there, but she treated me well, giving me simple task to do. the 5 girls there are actually a gang. I mean, they are friends and are all part timers. However, one girl is very in-cooperative. She wore high heel shoes there to work, in fort canning park! She must be crazy. Next, she is so impolite as when my colleague is briefing, she just sat on the chair as if she's the princess. Next, she also wore wrong thing to work today. She wore a long pants instead of shorts. My colleague therefore, wanted her to wear the fairyland story costume. The theme is actually peter pan, she is supposed to wear the fairy costume, shoes as well as the bandana, but she doesn't want. My colleague is so angry with her. All the girl's friend started to please that girl, by lending her their shoe, their pants and volunteering to wear the costume. My god why are they so good to her? Moreover, that girl had been pulling a long long face all the time. She is so thick skin, everyone is giving way to her, but she doesn't feel ashame at all. Gosh...
Around some time later, my colleague, who is in charge of the ice cream corner, gave my friend and I one ice cream each. The rest of the girls didn't really have anything at all. My colleague also put me and that friend together to be in charge of the coaster art under the children's corner. Saw alot of kids there with their parents. They are so cute..... A pity there's not alot of coaster plate there, therefore, most of the time, people kept standing in front of the booth to wait for the plate.
Didn't have my dinner there. Around 7.30 we ended the children's corner booth and began packing up. The place was in a mess, as if a war had just ended. After that, sat there for quite long. One of the staff wanted to buy rice, so we asked them to drive us out to the mrt. My colleague, my friend and me began to leave that place first. We ignored the 5 girls there lol.... Wonder how they go home just now. We personally felt that we didn't do anything wrong, it's their attitude problem. They came here to work, but wanted to choose what they want to do. If they don't like, they just reject. I don't think there's such good things in this world. Their attitude is really so childish. Especially that girl who love pulling a long face. Haiz.....
Overall, I must say that this event is so fun, but tiring.... And sweaty... it also rained a bit today.... The event ended at 9.30pm. My poor bf is still helping out to unfix everything there now.... Oh poor thing..... Things are not so easy for guys there.... but it's easy for the girls there... Hehe... Especially me, who have a colleague to protect me lol.... I think next week there's one more event for standard chartered bank. Eh.... another saturday burned.... Diaoz..... I think I'll miss the people there after my attachment ended.... Sigh..... What to do? This is life....
Eh... Need to go.... I'm just so dead beat now... Give me a break!!! I'm going to lie flat on the bed now... Adios......

It's been so long again since I blog. Too busy and lazy to blog haha... This few weeks after I reached home from work, I'll bath and on tv to watch, because I thought that I'm online the whole day in office, I'll be scared of the com at home. Today is Friday, so I am glad I can sleep late today. However, I still need to help out in running the show tomorrow. It's the first time I go fort canning park although I always passed by there sometimes. My bf is also working as they need a lot of man power tomorrow. Hehe... But I think we'll be allocated to different place. Bought a black shorts today for the sake of tomorrow's event. Sigh.... Didn't try it as it cannot be tried in the shop. So I bought it, only for 5 bucks lol. I tried it just now and realised it's so baggy at the bottom, but the waist is fine.... Duh...... I think I'm going to embarass myself tomorrow... Heck care... I really heck care..... Well... It's just so awful!! Who ask me last minute then buy haha....
A friend from Ngee Ann poly asked what am I working as for my attachment. I told her graphic designer. She said it's very cool... But.... Who will understand the difficulty designers face? From my point of view, I think that graphic designer is better than product designer, as they don't have to think much of consumer, budget, ergornomics and so on... However, now I think that all designers lives are hard to lead. Sigh..... For me, I'm always designing in the office.... Sometimes I think that the designs is good enough, then my colleague showed it to the client. Sometimes client will request for some other stuff or even asked us to modify our stuff. Fair enough, it's alright as they are the client and they are the ones organising the event. I'll do what they want me to do. I just hate the boss who rushed us to do 14 icons and in the end, never even use one of the design at all because he said that the client don't want to pay for that, so he don't want to do for them. My colleague was also doing 14 designs. She was complaining to me and said that the boss is stingy because he already earned so much from the client and still, he is unwilling to provide little bit things for them. It's just some icons which my boss can print out easily from the printer.... He is earning few thousands for 1 event... How stingy can he be. I'm just so fed up that he rushed us to do so much then in the end said he don't want to use. He didn't even asked the client properly first before calling us to do the designs...
Sometimes I also think whether I'm a cheap labour in that company. Well, I must say that the people there are good. They treated me well, but sometimes don't know whether they are playing with me. My lady boss, she is opening a new salon this April. She wanted me to design an invitation card for her. She said she want it in 4 pages, then I did for her, when it's almost done, she said she wants to change it to 3 pages.... Diaoz.... Then she even said she want the card to look classy.... My god, I've finised everything and then she came along to ask me change the format and contents. Ok.... I'm not angry, as it's not a tough work haha.... But, felt I'm being fooled..... ='(
Overall, I don't really hate the people in my company. They are good. haha.... But it's quite stress when the events are coming out... Everyone is rushing, it's just like I'm in school rushing my project lidat. Even a small small designer like me also have to rush as they needed my banners and stuff to be hung up for the events lol... Headache....
Arggg I hate to think tomorrow... My precious Saturday is gone! Ahhhh... And I don't think I'll get extra pay too... Sigh.... Attachment is good for those company who needs employee, and only need to pay half month salary to them only... How miserable can it be???

I'm so stress out in work. This Saturday my company is doing a family day events for Citibank. It's at fort canning park. It's such a big project there. I am supposed to design all banners as well as entrance arch there. Lucky my colleague helped me, or else I need to do over 30 designs.... Oh well, forgot whether I mention before. My boss wants me to go down this Saturday to take a look at my design. Argggggggggg....... Saturday burned..... However, it may be quite interesting to take a look at my own designs there hehehe.....
Well, sometimes I felt I can't finish my work in office, sometimes I wish that time can drag slowly lol.... But it's quite stupid thinking too. Sometimes I bring the work home to do as I'm afraid of my mood swing boss. I am afraid he may want to see my work suddenly but I can't provide haha.... That's what everybody said about him. He love to scold people whenever and wherever he love when his mood is not good. He even scolded a media corp artist before too lol.... I love the time when he is not in office. Actually, most of the time he is not in the office hehe....
Yesterday, went jogging with my bf in TPY stadium. I must be nuts. Haven been jogging for so long. After I jogged 2 rounds, I walked 1 round and gave up lol.... can't take it.. Can't breathe! Think I need to train my stamina if I am serious in jogging every week.... But... Haha.... See first.... Today I woke up with aches all over me... Including my hand muscles.... Haha....
Actually, I thought I have lots of things to blog... But I've forgotten after so many days.... Haha.....
Sucks, tomorrow is Monday again.... Hate it....

Well well... Didn't kept my promise to continue the story yesterday hehehe... Erm.... I am now in office blogging lol. That's because I finished my work. my 13 banner designs.... Can die! Hmmm... Today boss not in again. Then 1 of my colleague took leave, the other one went for event as she is in charge of it, one of them took half day off.... Boss wife just came back, she is doing her work busily now. Then the other auntie sit quite far away from me, hehe... I'm so free today. Boss wife thought I alot of things to do hehe... Yes I do, but I've finished them all.... Took 3 days to do. Most of them I re-design. Hmmm... So boring.... I still got about 2 and a half hour to end my work. At the mean time, I can slowly print out my stuff and save my stuff in my thumb.
I shall continue with my story......
Matthew asked Wendy whether she need any last hug before they depart. Wendy hugged him tightly, half crying, saying that she didn't want to break off with him. However, Matthew kept silent. After the last hug, Wendy told Matthew that she is going home. Matthew then departed. However, after Matthew left, Wendy went back to the park and sat on the bench. She sat there crying bitterly. After a while, she took out her handphone from her pouch. She had turned it into silent mode before she meet Matthew. She was shocked to see 20 missed calls and 10 message received in her handphone. All the calls are from Michael, Gerald as well as her brother. The messages are mostly from Gerald and Michael. Just as Wendy wanted to call one of them, her phone rang again. It was from Sandy. Sandy was an adult friend of Wendy. She was 27 years old at that time. She called Wendy and told her that she knew what had happened to her as Gerald told her. She said Gerald was very worried about her, why didn't she answer his call. At that point of time, Wendy was very very touched by what Gerald had done. She felt that there's actually someone who cares about her afterall. Wendy apologised to Sandy. Sandy consoled Wendy and told her that life must carry on no matter what. After Wendy felt better, she put down the phone and called her brother first. Her brother was also very worried about her. He said that he know the matter from Gerald. Gerald also know Wendy's brother. Wendy's brother said that he will wait for her at the bus stop to go home together. She agreed and hung up the phone. Straight away, she message Michael and Gerald. Michael told wendy that he's been trying to reach her for don't know how many times. He scolded Wendy for not listening to his call. Gerald scolded Wendy too, as he felt that Wendy is so stupid to meet that heartless Matthew. After Wendy told everyone that she was fine, she walked to the bus stop to meet her brother. Just as she was about to go, she saw Matthew sitting at the void deck. He looked unhappy. Wendy was puzzled, but decided to left.
After Wendy met her brother, she left home with him............
The next day....
Wendy messaged Matthew, telling him that she will wait for him no matter what. However, Matthew didn't reply her at all. Wendy felt hurt. Again, she began crying in her room.
A year passed by, Wendy had been single all along, although there are some guys after her during the past year. One day, Janson called Wendy and decided to meet her out for movie. Wendy accepted the invite, but wasn't as excited as that time when she admired him. They went out for dinner as well as Movie. In Wendy's heart, she felt that janson is still the right man for her. Wendy had given up on Matthew after they had broken up for 4 months. She came to realise that Matthew had been cheating on her. She hated him very much.
Janson was still with her girlfriend. Wendy was disappointed. She told herself that she won't trust any relationship anymore in her life unless she really meet the right person.
On Christmas, Janson sent Wendy a Christmas card. Wendy was overjoyed. She also sent him a Christmas card in return, together with a letter. In the letter, Wendy told Janson how she felt about him. She said she really thank him for giving her a very sweet memories all this while. She told him to take care of himself and all the best wishes to him and his girlfriend.
After Christmas, Wendy received a surprise phone call from Matthew. He wanted to meet Wendy out for a drink. Initially, Wendy rejected the invitation as she really hated him very much. However, after much pleading, Wendy finally accepted the invitation.
Both of them met at one shopping mall. Wendy was a bit nervous as she felt that they had not meet for very long. However, she wanted to stay calm and see what Matthew is up to. Matthew asked Wendy to watch movie. Wendy refused and said that she need to eat her lunch first. Matthew doesn't want to let Wendy have her lunch. Wendy was so angry that she shouted at Matthew, saying that she was hungry. If Matthew didn't want to eat, he can watch the movie all by himself. Finally, Matthew decided to accompany Wendy for her lunch first before going for a movie. After lunch, Wendy and Matthew proceeded to the cinema. Matthew wanted to watch the movie which Wendy wasn't interested in. However, Matthew ignored Wendy and went to buy the tickets for both of them. Wendy was dragged into the cinema by Matthew. In the cinema, Wendy and Matthew was very quiet. They were concentrating on the movie.
After movie, Matthew decided to watch another movie. Wendy was bored and said no. In order to test Matthew, Wendy said that she wanted to leave. She was hoping they can go somewhere better instead of spending their day in the cinema. Matthew tried to stay Wendy, but Wendy was keen to go. Wendy walked to the bus interchange, and Matthew followed behind, speechless. Wendy was scolding Matthew in her heart. The bus came and Wendy went straight up to the bus, saying goodbye to Matthew. When the bus left, Wendy knew that Matthew is still standing at the bus interchange, but she was unwilling to take a look at him. She just stare somewhere else, pretending that Matthew didn't live at all. She told herself that she won't accept his invitation anymore in her life. She hated him still as before.
That very night, Matthew messaged Wendy. He told her that he really love her very much, and was hoping Wendy could give him another more chance to be together. This time, Wendy was quick enough to reject him. Matthew told her how much he love her and also told her that he was dying due to some sickness. He sincerely hope that Wendy can forgive him that time and accept him. Wendy knew that Matthew was lying again. She couldn't believe that there's actually such lame person in the world. She replied Matthew and told him that he was irresponsible, always lie to her last time, don't care about her feelings and all that. Matthew kept apologising and said that it was indeed his fault last time. Wendy still couldn't forgive him and rejected him straight away. However, she told him that he can definitely find someone better than her. Matthew didn't think so, but couldn't help it when Wendy rejected him so many times. From that day on, Matthew and Wendy never contact anymore.
Up to date, Matthew is STILL LIVING HEALTHILY IN THIS WORLD.
1 year had passed again. Wendy finally found the right guy for her. Janson had lost contact with Wendy. Wendy still has his phone number but wasn't willing to call him to chat or date him out as she felt that she need to be faithful to her boyfriend. She love her current boyfriend very much as he treated her very well.
Till now, Wendy had 2 wishes. Firstly, she hoped that Janson can keep in contact with her, even a chat on the phone is good enough. Second, she really wants to know whether Janson had love her before last time.
Moral of the story:
Don't be deceive by bad guys/girls. Be sure to find someone who love you more than you love him/her. Don't be stupid to listen/ believe lame excuses.
End of story........
This story is told to me by my friend. I think she had tried many things in her life. It's a must to go through torment and hell in life, but that's the way of growing up. Isn't it? Hope she can live happily ever after with her current boyfriend now. =)
Hmmmm.... It's still early!!! When can I go home???? Argggg... Forget it... Let's surf net now! Hehehe... =p

Wahahaha.... Been slacking in the office today. It's all the stupid laggy lap top fault. It's so laggy that I want to throw that lap top away. This morning, I wanted to print out 1 copy of my work to show my boss, 1 COPY is all I need. However, the stupid laggy lap top kept hanging. Don't know why.... Yesterday was fine. Hmmm.... So from 9am, I clicked "print". And till 10am, nothing came out of the printer. In between the time, the com did hang a few times and I went to restart it. At 10am, I gave up as nothing come out from the stupid printer. Then I decided to hold my work for the boss to see haha. Then, my colleague "A" came and asked me for the work I did for her last week. I told her the stupid printer is not working, been waiting 1 hour for it to print my stuff. "S" heard and she laughed very loudly. Then "A" asked me to send her my stuff thru email to her. In the end, the stupid com cannot open photoshop. What the S***. Waited so long for it to load.... After a while, "A" passed by my table, then she asked me still haven send? I said the photoshop cannot open haha...
All the way till 11am, I started to try printing the stuff again.... I clicked "print" at 11am, the printer started working when it's 11.30am... Haha..... I'm really wasting my time today. All the lap top fault. Before 12pm, I showed boss my work. He said he ok and asked me to send him through email.... OMG.... Stupid com hang again... Argggg.... Then I heck care everything and went out for lunch lol.
After lunch, then I really start to do my new design. There's alot of terms of those exhibition stuff that I don't understand. Things like what is a truss, cariculture, entrance arch and so on. Cannot blame, my English too weak lol... Then there's some problem with the scale of the file. It's so big..... If we were to print out that banner, it's taller than us .... So I really got difficulty resizing the file. Lucky one of my colleague is also doing it. She helped me in resizing my stuff. =) We were dividing the work among both of us. I design 7 truss, and she design another 7 truss.
Hmmmm.... surprisingly, I slept at 10pm yesterday. I broke my record. I think it's been 10 years since I slept so early. I guess I must be too tired yesterday. Today, I woke up so refreshing. I didn't even sleep in bus. I never yawn while working too. I feel good.... Hehe.... But if I don't really like to sleep so early. Don't know why. Haha......
Here's a story to share with you by my friend.............. (P/s: This is going to be a very long old grandmother story... So.... Be prepared)
Everyday when Wendy go home by bus, she will passed by Matthew and Janson house. She hated Matthew to the core as Matthew let her down once. As for Janson, she had lost contact with him although Janson promised her that he will keep in touch with her. Wendy was deeply in love with Janson once. Janson was interested in her too although he has a girlfriend that time, but he kept his commitment to his girlfriend. Therefore, he rejected Wendy but was willing to date her out and keep her company. He even sms-ed her whenever he is free.
Once, Wendy and Janson's classmate were having a BBQ party. Wendy and Janson were invited. Both of them were the last to leave the BBQ party. Seeing that it's so late, Janson took the initiative to send Wendy home by taxi. Wendy was overjoyed. However, during the journey, Janson's handphone rang. It was his girlfriend.... Wendy felt soured in her heart. However, she remained quiet and calm. Wendy doesn't wants to be a third party to anyone. She believe that one day, Janson will accept her. So she waited for him.... 1 year, 2 years.... Until one day, Matthew approached Wendy. At that time, Wendy doesn't know that Matthew was interested in her. Whenever Matthew dated her, she will turn up to no avail. One day, as Wendy and Matthew was chatting on the phone, Matthew suddenly said that he love her and would like Wendy to accept her. Wendy was shocked..... However, she asked Matthew to give her time to consider.
Wendy was very confused. All this while, Wendy find Matthew a very nice and adorable person. She knew that she had waited for Janson for 2 years.... She love him very much. However, she realised that Janson will not accept her. That very evening, Janson called Wendy. She was so happy that she picked up the phone with a wide grin on her face. While chatting, Janson mention about Matthew. He knew that Matthew love Wendy very much. Wendy was very very disappointed. She told him that she will consider.
At night, Wendy was tossing and turning on the bed. Her mind was very confused. She started to think about the times Matthew and her had spent. A big smile appeared on her face. She had finally made her decision.....
The next day, Matthew called Wendy. He asked what is her answer. Wendy said that she will accept him, provided that Matthew give her some time to build up the relationship. Matthew was overjoyed. So is Wendy. Finally she found someone who love her.
Things started to change 3 months later.... Matthew had stopped calling Wendy and asking her out. Everytime when Wendy called Matthew, his phone will either be switched off or he will either answer and said that he is busy. His friends are beside him and he is inconvenient to talk. Wendy felt neglected. During the past 3 months, Wendy and Matthew had never quarrel before. Wendy was puzzled why Matthew had started avoiding her. Once, Richard called Wendy and told Wendy to be careful of Matthew as he is not a good guy. Wendy knew that Matthew hated Richard, so she thought Richard was talking bad about Matthew that time. She ignored the warning by Richard.
End of the month, before Valentine's day, Matthew sms-ed Wendy. Wendy was shocked after reading the sms. The text says "I think we have to break". It was her first day of work in her new company. After seeing that sms, Wendy remained calm and kept smiling here and there to her customer. She was actually shivering with cold, her mind was filled with the texts "I think we have to break". The next sms came.... It says "I hope we can still be friends after we break up. Sorry, I hope you can forgive me". Wendy replied "Can I come look for you after my work? I'll wait for you below your block". No reply was given..........
After work, Wendy went home to change. Her bestfriend, Michael, knew about the news and called her. Wendy cried very loudly on the phone. She went under her block to cry. Michael kept persuading Wendy to go home, but Wendy was reluctant to listen. She hang up the phone and went to take bus straight away to Matthew's house. She reached that place and sat on the tables and chairs below the block and sms-ed Matthew. Matthew did not reply the message. She waited for 1 hour, crying bitterly below the block. Another bestfriend of Wendy, Gerald, called Wendy many times, but Wendy was too stubborn to pick up the phone. Gerald sms-ed many many times to Wendy, telling her that it's no use waiting under the block. Matthew will never turn up. Wendy ignored the message. Finally, Matthew sms-ed Wendy after a while, he asked her to wait for him in the park near his house.
Wendy ran to the park and waited for Matthew. Matthew arrived and she asked him why did he wanted to break up with her. Matthew said that his mother forbid them to be together. In a fuming tone, Wendy told him that if he really love her, he wouldn't mind what his mother said. However, Matthew said that's not the point. He said that he got some illness which he can't tell her. He said he doesn't wants to drag her down. Wendy didn't believe at all... However, she finally realised that if Matthew don't love her anymore, it's no point keeping him to her side. She released her hand and let go of Matthew. She found the reasons given by Matthew are lame.
Hey! Is the story interesting??? Heh heh heh..... Written based on a true story of my friend. I've written alot today, take a break, have a kit kat guys. The story will be continued tomorrow. Stay tune.... hahaha...... Tell me what you think of the first episode of the story hehe....

SIGH.......................
I hate SIP. It's not that fun as I thought last week. Today, boss was in the office. He wanted me to design signages. First signage is "food". I did one and showed him. He said it's too complicated. Then, I re-design the signage. My colleague said it's ok. My boss said it's too simple.... Grrrr..... I don't really know what he want. Cannot too simple cannot too complicated. He showed me some pictures of swimming pool and sky. Oh my god.... What does "food" got to do with swimming pool and sky??? In the end, I make the backgound of the signages in blue colour lol. Thought he might like blue.... Diaoz.... Haven finish designing today. Shall continue tomorrow. I heard "A" said that tomorrow she have work for me to do. Sigh.... Stress out now..... So boring I can die....
Well..... Before I start work, I heard my bf said that my lady boss, who is also my boss wife, is actually a Miss Singapore Universe last time. However, today then I confirmed that she is Miss Singapore Universe 2003 as my colleague told me hehe. She is Miss Angela Tay. She is no longer "Miss", but "Mrs". Hmmm..... She is quite pretty, but I must say there's definately some changes after she give birth to children. I think she definitely has the quality to win that award haha.
Borrowed two vcds from mum shop to watch today. The first one is "frozen impact" by Ted McGinley and blah blah blah...... Second one is "Max Keeble's Big movie" by some kids la.... Don't really know them hahaa... Just find that the cover and the sypnosis looks interesting. Shall start watching them now. Feeling sleepy.....

Hi..... I'm back to blog... Long time never blog liao. Been so busy last 2 days during work. 2nd day of work, I was late for work. I'm so blur. Initially I am supposed to take a train to pasir ris, then change bus to my work place. That day, when I reached pasir ris, I saw the train arrived opposite, so without thinking, I ran over to the opposite side and hoped on the train lol. Just as the door closes, I was shocked.... I was thinking what the hell am I doing.... Then I went back to Tampines again. Lucky that time the train arrived already, so I ran to the opposite side again and hoped on the train... Then I returned to pasir ris again lol... Sigh.... I'm still as blur as ever. But I was late for 15mins.... No one said anything when I reached the office hehehe....
2nd day of work, I asked "S" whether I got anything to do, "S" said no, then "S" asked "A" got thing for me to do or not, then she said yes, she gave me the work some time later, then I began to work on it.
3rd day of work, I reached there on time, and asked "S" again got thing to do or not. "S" said no.... "A" also say no... After that no one said anything.... So I began surfing the net lol. After a while, "S" said I can help her do research for exhibitors. So I helped her to do research. It's so damn boring.... Diaoz.... After my lunch time, finally "S" gave me a design project to do hehe.
4th day of work, I was late again as I took other bus to work. "S" wasn't there as she went out for presentation. Then I asked "A" got anything to do again. "A" said yes, and she gave me 2 proposal, and asked me design stage back drop and 2 poster. After a while, "M" came and gave me 2 big box containing 200 magic inks. She asked me to test the ink, if there's no ink I can throw them away. Then the pen caps are all misplace too, she wants me to replace the caps back. Diaoz.... Hard work.... After lunch, I helped "M" to test the ink.... So sleepy man.... She gave me 200 magic ink, I returned her 20 magic ink lol.... Coz all magic ink doesn't have any ink! Waste my time. I couldn't finish the design that "A" gave me, so the next day I went back to the office and continue the last poster. Finally "S" told me she got work to give me do. Then she gave me so so so many proposal... Diaozzzz...... Headache.... must design 1 poster, 2 invitation cards, 1 other poster for another company, 4 signages too! OMG! Altogether I have 9 designs to do including the last poster for "A". I'm very slow in doing the designs. Therefore, I only manage to finish 2 designs that day. Lol... SLow man.... For the 4 signages, I'll do it on Monday. As for the rest, "S" said she will do over the weekends at home hehe.... I asked wether she want any help, she said nvm as it's too troublesome for me hehe... Wow she's so kind. But I feel bad.....
Hehe... during the 1 week attachment, I must say that overall, this company is ok. Just that they like to throw last minute work for me to do, I was so free the first few days they never give me do, when the dealine is near then they ask me do... So funny.... Plus everyday I must ask them got things to do or not. Every morning as I reached the office, I'm also like an invisible person to them, coz no one will notice me.... Some will talk on the phone, some of them their head will be lowered on the desk, busy doing something. But sometime I will just smile at them lor hehe.... Everyday I will go home sharp either at 5pm or 5.05pm lol..... I'm always the first one to leave that office. Haha... Like eating snake lidat... That day I was too boring until I went to download msn on my lap top. However, not many people are online so early. Somemore it's week day too. Guess most of them are also working... Boring man.... Hope I will not be assigned to anymore work this monday hehehe....
Today, I went to TP design road show with my bf. Was lost in Singapore river as we are not too sure of the venue. In the end, we asked one uncle who is in charge of the boat ride for tourist. He taught us how to get there, then he also gave us a map of some buildings near Singapore River. How kind of him. My bf and I walked all the way from one end to another haha... Finally I found the place. I saw some yr 3 senior there, wearing so formal... The designs were fantasic. I wonder will my design be like theirs when it's our turn for the road show.... Haiz... I love the VSC work best. Everyone have their own name card there. It's designed by them. So creative and interesting.... I'm beginning to regret as I never collect all the nice nice name card.... Sigh....
Hmmm.... Well.... I need to use my off day wisely. I want to see drama now hehehe.... Adios...

This is the 3rd time I'm blogging in this cold cold boring office...... I think boss is really very bias, got favouritism...... Well, I'm just saying how he treat my other colleagues. Not me, because I never talk to him unless showing him my stuff. Today, he, his wife and my senior manager went to their new shop again. This is funny, my senior manager is there to dye her hair. When? During office hour of course. Oh is that what they mean by setting a good example?? Boss brought her down to dye HAIR!!! omg.... Initially, my senior manager is supposed to do one thing. In the end, boss asked my other colleague to do.... How bias can he be. Pity my colleague. Well, today, I printed out all the stuff to show him. Just as I was about to sit on the chair, almost butt touching the chair, he said " Can I talk to you later? You leave these here, I talk to you later, I'm busy with work now"........ So embarrassed.... Then I faster stood up again and said ok.... And left his room.... Nuts... Busy about the salon right?? I think their hearts and soul are all in that new salon cum beauty shop.... He can jolly well close down this company if he want. Is that new shop really that important than this company? This company can earn thousands for one event. Does that shop earn that much? In a day??? Oh my.... Heck care....
Today, I used office printer to print out all my work that I've done for this company. Lol... The ink was new, but I used until it became half... So, out of guilt, I stopped printing lol.... Somemore I printed 2 copies each, because one is for submission of report and one is for myself to keep. The printing are all in full pages. Wahahaha.... Maybe before I leave this company then I print the rest. If not wait they ask why the ink so fast used up. My colleague know I'm printing my work here, but she don't mind as she hated the boss too. Just now when boss was in, I already started printing, he passed by me and asked whether those stuff I showed him are printed using my printer. I said yes. At that point of time, I was printing a poster. He asked what is it. I said it's my colleagues work lol... Then he nod his head and left. Actually that poster was done weeks ago, and the clients already accepted the design lol.... Lucky he didn't ask much. Some more the client not under him hahaha.....
Haiz.... Boss just went to his shop like that, without telling me whether he accepted my work or need any changes or not. Haiz.... So now, I'm so bored.... Nothing to do leh...... Hope 5pm can come faster.
This Saturday, I am invited to their official opening of the new shop. Haiz... Don't feel like going... But what to do? No choice.... Give face la... Some more must share money with my colleague to buy the flower thing to congratulate them that day. Pay so less already still must spend money buy them that thing... Poor me... Sob sob... This company head n leader sucks.... I know... I know how they treated everyone, although they never treat me like that, but I know. I won't wan to work here next time haha.... Who want? Some colleagues are telling me they are planning to leave when they found a job. I think this company can close down one day... I'm saying the truth, because there's not much staff here. Even if one staff left, this company will stuffer...
Enough of talking this stupid company... I mean, company with bias boss and bosses who think they are good..... Yucks....
Hmmm... I love the time when they are not around. Me, sitting at the corner, can do my own stuff alone haha... I even played msn game with my bf just now lol....
Haiz... Another half hour will be 5pm... Hmmm... Maybe I can surf net... Buaiz...

Haiz..... Working is so tiring...... =(
Long time never update my blog liao. Too lazy.... Too tiring la....... Work is getting more and more boring. Especially when I need to design the company's portfolio. To me, it's important and I want to make the portfolio special and nice. Since Monday I've been doing it, until Thursday, my boss came and asked what am I doing. I told him I'm designing the portfolio. He took a look at them and said that's not what he want, and rejected EVERYTHING! I really hate that. First, he didn't tell me what exactly he want. He only handed the old portfolio to my colleague and asked her to pass it to me to re-design. I thought he wanted the same format of the portfolio.... The old portfolio looks like a folder which you can slot the proposal into it. It consist of 3 pages at the front and 3 pages at the back. I did the same format, only that I redesigned the whole thing. And now, boss told me he wanted something out of the box. I asked whether he still want the 6 pages thing. He said no, he said I can design as many as I want, then at the end of the day we can try to see how to fold the portfolio. He must be kidding. How to fold a folder to so many pages? I told my colleague that he rejected all my work. My colleague said he is nuts. She took a look at my designs and said she love them, but she just told me that the boss is like that. Even at first if I do according to what he said, he also will reject. He love to make people do things again and again. Hump! Hate him. Pervert. All my hard work gone. Hate it.... Waste my time. Never mind I got plenty of time to waste. Till now, I'm still designing the portfolio, only 1 work at the moment. The more he waste my time, the lesser work I'll do for him. Hump!
On Thursday, lady boss asked whether I can stay behind after work to help her fold the invitation cards for the people as she is going to open a new salon soon. I said ok without thinking. In the end, around 4 plus then they started printing the cards. I was supposed to leave work at 5pm, in the end, helped them till 7pm then go home. Arggggg...... Waste my time again. Folding 100 invitation cards and slothing them into envelopes. The next day, my colleague told my other colleagues that the boss is too much, making me stay till so late... And she complained and complained... I just kept quiet and smile... I'm glad I'm visible to them.... I'm gald that someone at least cares for me there ... =)
On Friday, my colleague drove me and one other colleague out to Hougang Mall to have lunch. We had KFC there. While eating, two of them kept talking bad about the boss, lady boss and the senior manager. I've long heard that boss and senior manager is bad, but to me, I still think they are ok. However, they told me that I'm new, so I still don't know how bad they are. They love to ask people do things for them. My colleague said last time when she was new she also thought they are nice, so they kept using her. Now, she knew how to protect herself. They told me not to promise to stay over again after work to help them, coz my pay is low and that is not my job too. The opening of the new salon is their own personal matters, but they asked me to do, and some more till so late. They said they are not teaching me to be bad, but teaching me to learn not to be bullied by others. Haiz.... Do I really look like that kind of person who people love to bully? Because everywhere I went for work, alot people will tell me the same thing....
Some of the things they said also got points. I've decided not to help them if they asked me to stay again. After what they told me, I finally realized that the office has so many conflict and people with mask. My senior manager is like a friend to me, first day of work helped me with alot of things. Sometimes I also felt she is so cute, but I never knew that she is that type of person. It's not that I listened to what my colleague said and judge her like that, but I saw it with my own eyes, and there's some proof for me to see too... Sigh.... Office life also can have so many things. That day, we really chatted alot, and gossiped alot. My colleague and me had the same views on someone and someone haha.... Then we really laughed out loud. They said I am bad as I am only there for one month and realised so many things there. Hehez.... What my colleague and me said is not impossible.... Although that matter looks like it can only happen in TV drama, but TV drama things can happen in the real life too.... In the office, there's only 7 people including me, my boss, lady boss and senior manager..... there's 3 people in one gang, they are the boss, lady boss and senior manager, the rest is me and the colleagues haha.... One of the colleague is also a manager, but she didn't care about the boss and so on and just concentrate on her work. And she's also the one who brought me to KFC haha.... Poor life.... Shake head.... Lucky I am leaving soon after my attachment haha.....
I hoped the boss can appreciate what everyone had done for them.... haiz...
Going Sri Lanka again on the 21st to 23rd of May. 2oth is the last day of my attachment, 24th is the first day of school.... Haiz.............. No time to rest. Actually, my mum and brothers are all going Sri Lanka on the 20th.... But I have to go with others on the 21st, as I need to finish my attachment first. My lady boss knew it and said that she can allow me to go on the 20th and won't tell my lecturer haha.... hmmmm..... I am still deciding...... Keke.....
For the reflection of the attachment, I should say that I learnt one thing..... I came to realise how ugly is the society..... No matter how hard the life is, some things really cannot say out, and must tolerate.... Haiz.....
Talking about reflection, I need to finish writing it on the SIP log book already. It's the 4th week, I only wrote the 1st week reflection, and the rest I really don't know what to write wahaha.... Ok got to go.... Cracking brain time!

I'm in the office again heh heh..... So boring that I don't have the mood to do my stuff . So I decided to blog here. Actually, since yesterday I already don't have the mood to do work. They asked me to design their company portfolio, the one which they put their notes in the portfolio and distribute to all the clients. I felt that their old portfolio is so nice and creative. Now I don't have the inspiration to design a new one. Actually, since yesterday I've been designing already, but I am doing it very slowly. Today also.... I don't even have the mood to come to work today one. So tiring. Eyes also swollen due to lack of sleep. So hungry now...... Haiz.....
Hmmm.... On Sunday, I finally met up with Bao Zhen. We went Chinatown together to buy cds. Some of the new albums are quite cheap. I don't really know whether it's pirated, because the packaging looks so original. Cyndi Wang new album only cost $3.90. F.I.R new album also around that price. I wanted to buy Li Sheng Jie cd album, but after that, I saw Twins cd album, only $4.80, same as Li Sheng Jie, so I was wondering which should I buy. After pondering for a moment, I decided to grab Twins cd, as I only have one of her song in my pc. For Li Sheng Jie, I have 2, so I think I better grab the Twins cd. However, got a bit regret, because the songs are normal, not say nice or not nice. The nice songs are on the tv commercial lor. However, there's some free postcards given. It's actually twins picture la. The cd album really looks so original.
Had a long chat with Bao Zhen that day. We really don't have any secrets in mind. It's really great to catch up with friends once in a while.
Haiz.... Feeling moody now. I'm really tired. Super duper tired...... Tired of this tired of that, even tired of my life. My life sucks.... Hate it.... Hate myself....
Tripped myself yesterday near the drain. Stupid me, really hate myself. Was blind yesterday, that's why I tripped. S***! Now my leg felt a bit weird. Don't know is pain or wat. A little bit like sprained my leg like that. But I won't go see docter one. Never never!!!! Unless I can't walk! But if can take mc also good. No need to work. Haiz..... I am so tired I really wish I can take MC!!!
Hate this life!

I'm dead beat!
Just came back from fort canning park. It's very fun today. I went to eat with my bf at plaza singapura. After that, our staff met us somewhere there and drove us to fort canning park with a big lorry. There are actually 20 over people helpers there. I was so lucky to be sitting in front of the lorry with air con because my colleague pulled me and one girl in. Just got to know that girl today. Made a friend there =) My colleague said nvm, the rest of the girls and guys can sit behind. Even my bf also sat behind lol. Just got to know that girl today. Made a friend there =)
When we reached that place, I saw my banners..... Oh my god.... So touched.... I wanna cry.... Lol.... I saw my banners, entrance arch and signages there.... Haaaa..... A pity I never take any photos there. Hmmmm.... Then we got down there and my colleague started to brief us a while later. Then we also went to change our t-shirts. There's only 8 girls including my colleague there. My colleague is the one in charge as she is from the office, as for me, I'm only the girl doing attachment there, but she treated me well, giving me simple task to do. the 5 girls there are actually a gang. I mean, they are friends and are all part timers. However, one girl is very in-cooperative. She wore high heel shoes there to work, in fort canning park! She must be crazy. Next, she is so impolite as when my colleague is briefing, she just sat on the chair as if she's the princess. Next, she also wore wrong thing to work today. She wore a long pants instead of shorts. My colleague therefore, wanted her to wear the fairyland story costume. The theme is actually peter pan, she is supposed to wear the fairy costume, shoes as well as the bandana, but she doesn't want. My colleague is so angry with her. All the girl's friend started to please that girl, by lending her their shoe, their pants and volunteering to wear the costume. My god why are they so good to her? Moreover, that girl had been pulling a long long face all the time. She is so thick skin, everyone is giving way to her, but she doesn't feel ashame at all. Gosh...
Around some time later, my colleague, who is in charge of the ice cream corner, gave my friend and I one ice cream each. The rest of the girls didn't really have anything at all. My colleague also put me and that friend together to be in charge of the coaster art under the children's corner. Saw alot of kids there with their parents. They are so cute..... A pity there's not alot of coaster plate there, therefore, most of the time, people kept standing in front of the booth to wait for the plate.
Didn't have my dinner there. Around 7.30 we ended the children's corner booth and began packing up. The place was in a mess, as if a war had just ended. After that, sat there for quite long. One of the staff wanted to buy rice, so we asked them to drive us out to the mrt. My colleague, my friend and me began to leave that place first. We ignored the 5 girls there lol.... Wonder how they go home just now. We personally felt that we didn't do anything wrong, it's their attitude problem. They came here to work, but wanted to choose what they want to do. If they don't like, they just reject. I don't think there's such good things in this world. Their attitude is really so childish. Especially that girl who love pulling a long face. Haiz.....
Overall, I must say that this event is so fun, but tiring.... And sweaty... it also rained a bit today.... The event ended at 9.30pm. My poor bf is still helping out to unfix everything there now.... Oh poor thing..... Things are not so easy for guys there.... but it's easy for the girls there... Hehe... Especially me, who have a colleague to protect me lol.... I think next week there's one more event for standard chartered bank. Eh.... another saturday burned.... Diaoz..... I think I'll miss the people there after my attachment ended.... Sigh..... What to do? This is life....
Eh... Need to go.... I'm just so dead beat now... Give me a break!!! I'm going to lie flat on the bed now... Adios......

It's been so long again since I blog. Too busy and lazy to blog haha... This few weeks after I reached home from work, I'll bath and on tv to watch, because I thought that I'm online the whole day in office, I'll be scared of the com at home. Today is Friday, so I am glad I can sleep late today. However, I still need to help out in running the show tomorrow. It's the first time I go fort canning park although I always passed by there sometimes. My bf is also working as they need a lot of man power tomorrow. Hehe... But I think we'll be allocated to different place. Bought a black shorts today for the sake of tomorrow's event. Sigh.... Didn't try it as it cannot be tried in the shop. So I bought it, only for 5 bucks lol. I tried it just now and realised it's so baggy at the bottom, but the waist is fine.... Duh...... I think I'm going to embarass myself tomorrow... Heck care... I really heck care..... Well... It's just so awful!! Who ask me last minute then buy haha....
A friend from Ngee Ann poly asked what am I working as for my attachment. I told her graphic designer. She said it's very cool... But.... Who will understand the difficulty designers face? From my point of view, I think that graphic designer is better than product designer, as they don't have to think much of consumer, budget, ergornomics and so on... However, now I think that all designers lives are hard to lead. Sigh..... For me, I'm always designing in the office.... Sometimes I think that the designs is good enough, then my colleague showed it to the client. Sometimes client will request for some other stuff or even asked us to modify our stuff. Fair enough, it's alright as they are the client and they are the ones organising the event. I'll do what they want me to do. I just hate the boss who rushed us to do 14 icons and in the end, never even use one of the design at all because he said that the client don't want to pay for that, so he don't want to do for them. My colleague was also doing 14 designs. She was complaining to me and said that the boss is stingy because he already earned so much from the client and still, he is unwilling to provide little bit things for them. It's just some icons which my boss can print out easily from the printer.... He is earning few thousands for 1 event... How stingy can he be. I'm just so fed up that he rushed us to do so much then in the end said he don't want to use. He didn't even asked the client properly first before calling us to do the designs...
Sometimes I also think whether I'm a cheap labour in that company. Well, I must say that the people there are good. They treated me well, but sometimes don't know whether they are playing with me. My lady boss, she is opening a new salon this April. She wanted me to design an invitation card for her. She said she want it in 4 pages, then I did for her, when it's almost done, she said she wants to change it to 3 pages.... Diaoz.... Then she even said she want the card to look classy.... My god, I've finised everything and then she came along to ask me change the format and contents. Ok.... I'm not angry, as it's not a tough work haha.... But, felt I'm being fooled..... ='(
Overall, I don't really hate the people in my company. They are good. haha.... But it's quite stress when the events are coming out... Everyone is rushing, it's just like I'm in school rushing my project lidat. Even a small small designer like me also have to rush as they needed my banners and stuff to be hung up for the events lol... Headache....
Arggg I hate to think tomorrow... My precious Saturday is gone! Ahhhh... And I don't think I'll get extra pay too... Sigh.... Attachment is good for those company who needs employee, and only need to pay half month salary to them only... How miserable can it be???

I'm so stress out in work. This Saturday my company is doing a family day events for Citibank. It's at fort canning park. It's such a big project there. I am supposed to design all banners as well as entrance arch there. Lucky my colleague helped me, or else I need to do over 30 designs.... Oh well, forgot whether I mention before. My boss wants me to go down this Saturday to take a look at my design. Argggggggggg....... Saturday burned..... However, it may be quite interesting to take a look at my own designs there hehehe.....
Well, sometimes I felt I can't finish my work in office, sometimes I wish that time can drag slowly lol.... But it's quite stupid thinking too. Sometimes I bring the work home to do as I'm afraid of my mood swing boss. I am afraid he may want to see my work suddenly but I can't provide haha.... That's what everybody said about him. He love to scold people whenever and wherever he love when his mood is not good. He even scolded a media corp artist before too lol.... I love the time when he is not in office. Actually, most of the time he is not in the office hehe....
Yesterday, went jogging with my bf in TPY stadium. I must be nuts. Haven been jogging for so long. After I jogged 2 rounds, I walked 1 round and gave up lol.... can't take it.. Can't breathe! Think I need to train my stamina if I am serious in jogging every week.... But... Haha.... See first.... Today I woke up with aches all over me... Including my hand muscles.... Haha....
Actually, I thought I have lots of things to blog... But I've forgotten after so many days.... Haha.....

Today boss not in again. Then 1 of my colleague took leave, the other one went for event as she is in charge of it, one of them took half day off.... Boss wife just came back, she is doing her work busily now. Then the other auntie sit quite far away from me, hehe... I'm so free today. Boss wife thought I alot of things to do hehe... Yes I do, but I've finished them all.... Took 3 days to do. Most of them I re-design. Hmmm... So boring.... I still got about 2 and a half hour to end my work. At the mean time, I can slowly print out my stuff and save my stuff in my thumb.
I shall continue with my story......
Matthew asked Wendy whether she need any last hug before they depart. Wendy hugged him tightly, half crying, saying that she didn't want to break off with him. However, Matthew kept silent. After the last hug, Wendy told Matthew that she is going home. Matthew then departed. However, after Matthew left, Wendy went back to the park and sat on the bench. She sat there crying bitterly. After a while, she took out her handphone from her pouch. She had turned it into silent mode before she meet Matthew. She was shocked to see 20 missed calls and 10 message received in her handphone. All the calls are from Michael, Gerald as well as her brother. The messages are mostly from Gerald and Michael. Just as Wendy wanted to call one of them, her phone rang again. It was from Sandy. Sandy was an adult friend of Wendy. She was 27 years old at that time. She called Wendy and told her that she knew what had happened to her as Gerald told her. She said Gerald was very worried about her, why didn't she answer his call. At that point of time, Wendy was very very touched by what Gerald had done. She felt that there's actually someone who cares about her afterall. Wendy apologised to Sandy. Sandy consoled Wendy and told her that life must carry on no matter what. After Wendy felt better, she put down the phone and called her brother first. Her brother was also very worried about her. He said that he know the matter from Gerald. Gerald also know Wendy's brother. Wendy's brother said that he will wait for her at the bus stop to go home together. She agreed and hung up the phone. Straight away, she message Michael and Gerald. Michael told wendy that he's been trying to reach her for don't know how many times. He scolded Wendy for not listening to his call. Gerald scolded Wendy too, as he felt that Wendy is so stupid to meet that heartless Matthew. After Wendy told everyone that she was fine, she walked to the bus stop to meet her brother. Just as she was about to go, she saw Matthew sitting at the void deck. He looked unhappy. Wendy was puzzled, but decided to left.
After Wendy met her brother, she left home with him............
The next day....
Wendy messaged Matthew, telling him that she will wait for him no matter what. However, Matthew didn't reply her at all. Wendy felt hurt. Again, she began crying in her room.
A year passed by, Wendy had been single all along, although there are some guys after her during the past year. One day, Janson called Wendy and decided to meet her out for movie. Wendy accepted the invite, but wasn't as excited as that time when she admired him. They went out for dinner as well as Movie. In Wendy's heart, she felt that janson is still the right man for her. Wendy had given up on Matthew after they had broken up for 4 months. She came to realise that Matthew had been cheating on her. She hated him very much.
Janson was still with her girlfriend. Wendy was disappointed. She told herself that she won't trust any relationship anymore in her life unless she really meet the right person.
On Christmas, Janson sent Wendy a Christmas card. Wendy was overjoyed. She also sent him a Christmas card in return, together with a letter. In the letter, Wendy told Janson how she felt about him. She said she really thank him for giving her a very sweet memories all this while. She told him to take care of himself and all the best wishes to him and his girlfriend.
After Christmas, Wendy received a surprise phone call from Matthew. He wanted to meet Wendy out for a drink. Initially, Wendy rejected the invitation as she really hated him very much. However, after much pleading, Wendy finally accepted the invitation.
Both of them met at one shopping mall. Wendy was a bit nervous as she felt that they had not meet for very long. However, she wanted to stay calm and see what Matthew is up to. Matthew asked Wendy to watch movie. Wendy refused and said that she need to eat her lunch first. Matthew doesn't want to let Wendy have her lunch. Wendy was so angry that she shouted at Matthew, saying that she was hungry. If Matthew didn't want to eat, he can watch the movie all by himself. Finally, Matthew decided to accompany Wendy for her lunch first before going for a movie. After lunch, Wendy and Matthew proceeded to the cinema. Matthew wanted to watch the movie which Wendy wasn't interested in. However, Matthew ignored Wendy and went to buy the tickets for both of them. Wendy was dragged into the cinema by Matthew. In the cinema, Wendy and Matthew was very quiet. They were concentrating on the movie.
After movie, Matthew decided to watch another movie. Wendy was bored and said no. In order to test Matthew, Wendy said that she wanted to leave. She was hoping they can go somewhere better instead of spending their day in the cinema. Matthew tried to stay Wendy, but Wendy was keen to go. Wendy walked to the bus interchange, and Matthew followed behind, speechless. Wendy was scolding Matthew in her heart. The bus came and Wendy went straight up to the bus, saying goodbye to Matthew. When the bus left, Wendy knew that Matthew is still standing at the bus interchange, but she was unwilling to take a look at him. She just stare somewhere else, pretending that Matthew didn't live at all. She told herself that she won't accept his invitation anymore in her life. She hated him still as before.
That very night, Matthew messaged Wendy. He told her that he really love her very much, and was hoping Wendy could give him another more chance to be together. This time, Wendy was quick enough to reject him. Matthew told her how much he love her and also told her that he was dying due to some sickness. He sincerely hope that Wendy can forgive him that time and accept him. Wendy knew that Matthew was lying again. She couldn't believe that there's actually such lame person in the world. She replied Matthew and told him that he was irresponsible, always lie to her last time, don't care about her feelings and all that. Matthew kept apologising and said that it was indeed his fault last time. Wendy still couldn't forgive him and rejected him straight away. However, she told him that he can definitely find someone better than her. Matthew didn't think so, but couldn't help it when Wendy rejected him so many times. From that day on, Matthew and Wendy never contact anymore.
Up to date, Matthew is STILL LIVING HEALTHILY IN THIS WORLD.
1 year had passed again. Wendy finally found the right guy for her. Janson had lost contact with Wendy. Wendy still has his phone number but wasn't willing to call him to chat or date him out as she felt that she need to be faithful to her boyfriend. She love her current boyfriend very much as he treated her very well.
Till now, Wendy had 2 wishes. Firstly, she hoped that Janson can keep in contact with her, even a chat on the phone is good enough. Second, she really wants to know whether Janson had love her before last time.
Moral of the story:
Don't be deceive by bad guys/girls. Be sure to find someone who love you more than you love him/her. Don't be stupid to listen/ believe lame excuses.
End of story........
This story is told to me by my friend. I think she had tried many things in her life. It's a must to go through torment and hell in life, but that's the way of growing up. Isn't it? Hope she can live happily ever after with her current boyfriend now. =)
Hmmmm.... It's still early!!! When can I go home???? Argggg... Forget it... Let's surf net now! Hehehe... =p

Wahahaha.... Been slacking in the office today. It's all the stupid laggy lap top fault. It's so laggy that I want to throw that lap top away. This morning, I wanted to print out 1 copy of my work to show my boss, 1 COPY is all I need. However, the stupid laggy lap top kept hanging. Don't know why.... Yesterday was fine. Hmmm.... So from 9am, I clicked "print". And till 10am, nothing came out of the printer. In between the time, the com did hang a few times and I went to restart it. At 10am, I gave up as nothing come out from the stupid printer. Then I decided to hold my work for the boss to see haha. Then, my colleague "A" came and asked me for the work I did for her last week. I told her the stupid printer is not working, been waiting 1 hour for it to print my stuff. "S" heard and she laughed very loudly. Then "A" asked me to send her my stuff thru email to her. In the end, the stupid com cannot open photoshop. What the S***. Waited so long for it to load.... After a while, "A" passed by my table, then she asked me still haven send? I said the photoshop cannot open haha...
All the way till 11am, I started to try printing the stuff again.... I clicked "print" at 11am, the printer started working when it's 11.30am... Haha..... I'm really wasting my time today. All the lap top fault. Before 12pm, I showed boss my work. He said he ok and asked me to send him through email.... OMG.... Stupid com hang again... Argggg.... Then I heck care everything and went out for lunch lol.
After lunch, then I really start to do my new design. There's alot of terms of those exhibition stuff that I don't understand. Things like what is a truss, cariculture, entrance arch and so on. Cannot blame, my English too weak lol... Then there's some problem with the scale of the file. It's so big..... If we were to print out that banner, it's taller than us .... So I really got difficulty resizing the file. Lucky one of my colleague is also doing it. She helped me in resizing my stuff. =) We were dividing the work among both of us. I design 7 truss, and she design another 7 truss.
Hmmmm.... surprisingly, I slept at 10pm yesterday. I broke my record. I think it's been 10 years since I slept so early. I guess I must be too tired yesterday. Today, I woke up so refreshing. I didn't even sleep in bus. I never yawn while working too. I feel good.... Hehe.... But if I don't really like to sleep so early. Don't know why. Haha......
Here's a story to share with you by my friend.............. (P/s: This is going to be a very long old grandmother story... So.... Be prepared)
Everyday when Wendy go home by bus, she will passed by Matthew and Janson house. She hated Matthew to the core as Matthew let her down once. As for Janson, she had lost contact with him although Janson promised her that he will keep in touch with her. Wendy was deeply in love with Janson once. Janson was interested in her too although he has a girlfriend that time, but he kept his commitment to his girlfriend. Therefore, he rejected Wendy but was willing to date her out and keep her company. He even sms-ed her whenever he is free.
Once, Wendy and Janson's classmate were having a BBQ party. Wendy and Janson were invited. Both of them were the last to leave the BBQ party. Seeing that it's so late, Janson took the initiative to send Wendy home by taxi. Wendy was overjoyed. However, during the journey, Janson's handphone rang. It was his girlfriend.... Wendy felt soured in her heart. However, she remained quiet and calm. Wendy doesn't wants to be a third party to anyone. She believe that one day, Janson will accept her. So she waited for him.... 1 year, 2 years.... Until one day, Matthew approached Wendy. At that time, Wendy doesn't know that Matthew was interested in her. Whenever Matthew dated her, she will turn up to no avail. One day, as Wendy and Matthew was chatting on the phone, Matthew suddenly said that he love her and would like Wendy to accept her. Wendy was shocked..... However, she asked Matthew to give her time to consider.
Wendy was very confused. All this while, Wendy find Matthew a very nice and adorable person. She knew that she had waited for Janson for 2 years.... She love him very much. However, she realised that Janson will not accept her. That very evening, Janson called Wendy. She was so happy that she picked up the phone with a wide grin on her face. While chatting, Janson mention about Matthew. He knew that Matthew love Wendy very much. Wendy was very very disappointed. She told him that she will consider.
At night, Wendy was tossing and turning on the bed. Her mind was very confused. She started to think about the times Matthew and her had spent. A big smile appeared on her face. She had finally made her decision.....
The next day, Matthew called Wendy. He asked what is her answer. Wendy said that she will accept him, provided that Matthew give her some time to build up the relationship. Matthew was overjoyed. So is Wendy. Finally she found someone who love her.
Things started to change 3 months later.... Matthew had stopped calling Wendy and asking her out. Everytime when Wendy called Matthew, his phone will either be switched off or he will either answer and said that he is busy. His friends are beside him and he is inconvenient to talk. Wendy felt neglected. During the past 3 months, Wendy and Matthew had never quarrel before. Wendy was puzzled why Matthew had started avoiding her. Once, Richard called Wendy and told Wendy to be careful of Matthew as he is not a good guy. Wendy knew that Matthew hated Richard, so she thought Richard was talking bad about Matthew that time. She ignored the warning by Richard.
End of the month, before Valentine's day, Matthew sms-ed Wendy. Wendy was shocked after reading the sms. The text says "I think we have to break". It was her first day of work in her new company. After seeing that sms, Wendy remained calm and kept smiling here and there to her customer. She was actually shivering with cold, her mind was filled with the texts "I think we have to break". The next sms came.... It says "I hope we can still be friends after we break up. Sorry, I hope you can forgive me". Wendy replied "Can I come look for you after my work? I'll wait for you below your block". No reply was given..........
After work, Wendy went home to change. Her bestfriend, Michael, knew about the news and called her. Wendy cried very loudly on the phone. She went under her block to cry. Michael kept persuading Wendy to go home, but Wendy was reluctant to listen. She hang up the phone and went to take bus straight away to Matthew's house. She reached that place and sat on the tables and chairs below the block and sms-ed Matthew. Matthew did not reply the message. She waited for 1 hour, crying bitterly below the block. Another bestfriend of Wendy, Gerald, called Wendy many times, but Wendy was too stubborn to pick up the phone. Gerald sms-ed many many times to Wendy, telling her that it's no use waiting under the block. Matthew will never turn up. Wendy ignored the message. Finally, Matthew sms-ed Wendy after a while, he asked her to wait for him in the park near his house.
Wendy ran to the park and waited for Matthew. Matthew arrived and she asked him why did he wanted to break up with her. Matthew said that his mother forbid them to be together. In a fuming tone, Wendy told him that if he really love her, he wouldn't mind what his mother said. However, Matthew said that's not the point. He said that he got some illness which he can't tell her. He said he doesn't wants to drag her down. Wendy didn't believe at all... However, she finally realised that if Matthew don't love her anymore, it's no point keeping him to her side. She released her hand and let go of Matthew. She found the reasons given by Matthew are lame.
Hey! Is the story interesting??? Heh heh heh..... Written based on a true story of my friend. I've written alot today, take a break, have a kit kat guys. The story will be continued tomorrow. Stay tune.... hahaha...... Tell me what you think of the first episode of the story hehe....

Then, I re-design the signage. My colleague said it's ok. My boss said it's too simple.... Grrrr..... I don't really know what he want. Cannot too simple cannot too complicated. He showed me some pictures of swimming pool and sky. Oh my god.... What does "food" got to do with swimming pool and sky??? In the end, I make the backgound of the signages in blue colour lol. Thought he might like blue.... Diaoz.... Haven finish designing today. Shall continue tomorrow. I heard "A" said that tomorrow she have work for me to do. Sigh.... Stress out now.....

However, today then I confirmed that she is Miss Singapore Universe 2003 as my colleague told me hehe. She is Miss Angela Tay. She is no longer "Miss", but "Mrs". Hmmm.....

Hi..... I'm back to blog... Long time never blog liao. Been so busy last 2 days during work. 2nd day of work, I was late for work. I'm so blur. Initially I am supposed to take a train to pasir ris, then change bus to my work place. That day, when I reached pasir ris, I saw the train arrived opposite, so without thinking, I ran over to the opposite side and hoped on the train lol. Just as the door closes, I was shocked.... I was thinking what the hell am I doing.... Then I went back to Tampines again. Lucky that time the train arrived already, so I ran to the opposite side again and hoped on the train... Then I returned to pasir ris again lol... Sigh.... I'm still as blur as ever. But I was late for 15mins.... No one said anything when I reached the office hehehe....
2nd day of work, I asked "S" whether I got anything to do, "S" said no, then "S" asked "A" got thing for me to do or not, then she said yes, she gave me the work some time later, then I began to work on it.
3rd day of work, I reached there on time, and asked "S" again got thing to do or not. "S" said no.... "A" also say no... After that no one said anything.... So I began surfing the net lol. After a while, "S" said I can help her do research for exhibitors. So I helped her to do research. It's so damn boring.... Diaoz.... After my lunch time, finally "S" gave me a design project to do hehe.
4th day of work, I was late again as I took other bus to work. "S" wasn't there as she went out for presentation. Then I asked "A" got anything to do again. "A" said yes, and she gave me 2 proposal, and asked me design stage back drop and 2 poster. After a while, "M" came and gave me 2 big box containing 200 magic inks. She asked me to test the ink, if there's no ink I can throw them away. Then the pen caps are all misplace too, she wants me to replace the caps back. Diaoz.... Hard work.... After lunch, I helped "M" to test the ink.... So sleepy man.... She gave me 200 magic ink, I returned her 20 magic ink lol.... Coz all magic ink doesn't have any ink! Waste my time. I couldn't finish the design that "A" gave me, so the next day I went back to the office and continue the last poster. Finally "S" told me she got work to give me do. Then she gave me so so so many proposal... Diaozzzz...... Headache.... must design 1 poster, 2 invitation cards, 1 other poster for another company, 4 signages too! OMG! Altogether I have 9 designs to do including the last poster for "A". I'm very slow in doing the designs. Therefore, I only manage to finish 2 designs that day. Lol... SLow man.... For the 4 signages, I'll do it on Monday. As for the rest, "S" said she will do over the weekends at home hehe.... I asked wether she want any help, she said nvm as it's too troublesome for me hehe... Wow she's so kind. But I feel bad.....
Hehe... during the 1 week attachment, I must say that overall, this company is ok. Just that they like to throw last minute work for me to do, I was so free the first few days they never give me do, when the dealine is near then they ask me do... So funny.... Plus everyday I must ask them got things to do or not. Every morning as I reached the office, I'm also like an invisible person to them, coz no one will notice me.... Some will talk on the phone, some of them their head will be lowered on the desk, busy doing something. But sometime I will just smile at them lor hehe.... Everyday I will go home sharp either at 5pm or 5.05pm lol..... I'm always the first one to leave that office. Haha... Like eating snake lidat... That day I was too boring until I went to download msn on my lap top. However, not many people are online so early. Somemore it's week day too. Guess most of them are also working... Boring man.... Hope I will not be assigned to anymore work this monday hehehe....
Today, I went to TP design road show with my bf. Was lost in Singapore river as we are not too sure of the venue. In the end, we asked one uncle who is in charge of the boat ride for tourist. He taught us how to get there, then he also gave us a map of some buildings near Singapore River. How kind of him. My bf and I walked all the way from one end to another haha... Finally I found the place. I saw some yr 3 senior there, wearing so formal... The designs were fantasic. I wonder will my design be like theirs when it's our turn for the road show.... Haiz... I love the VSC work best. Everyone have their own name card there. It's designed by them. So creative and interesting.... I'm beginning to regret as I never collect all the nice nice name card.... Sigh....
Hmmm.... Well.... I need to use my off day wisely. I want to see drama now hehehe.... Adios...
