a new enviroment

Hey hey, finally got time today to actually do some decent writeups. Yea, been a busy week at work, much of the work were handed to me after lunch hrs which made me work till after 6pm. Haven really seen much in the agency yet, but of cause its like only a week and its pretty much hard to say the direction I am heading to. But of cause this whole week have been working on the stuff for Lasalle Sia's open hse which would be happening on the first week of Feb. I was tasked to assist and work on the school's info graphic map as well as the EDM(Electronic Digital Mailer some new ass media). Been quite fun learn abit more on layouts and stuff. Apart from all this I feel next week would be a more tedious week as I have more jobs on hand to clear.

I bumped into Cheemun last night haha, to learn that he actually quit his job as a vidz editor which after talking to him felt that he made the right choice of leaving the industry and sometimes its quite true passion and making a living out of it usually don't gel. Well sometimes got to be realistic! Well all the best to his new leash of career!

Erm finally received my cheque from JWT. Yea!! At least there is some cash for me, before my new jobs pay. At the same while collecting the cheque had the chance to meet jimmy and erika but ryan was missing in action. Darn missed him twice man, first was BlackMagicDesign (POST PRODUCTION HOUSE) party then now this. Think he hates me haha!! As always had crappy talk cock session with them, always teasing me. But still I love them, the most fun loving peeps!

Well end off with some snapshots again!

Yea the last cheque issued by JWT Singapore's MD Angus Fraser.


Yea my little corner in the office.


In the office's library that faces the PSA harbour. Yea!

its official

I signed my letter of appointment with Alchemy n Partnership, was appointed the role of Jr. Art Director. I would be working hard on this post and hopefully gain sime real good experince. As per said in my last entry my team would be servicing DBS, Peugeot Cars , lasellaSia college of Arts and a Cosemtic brand which I have no idea what it is. Really nervous to start work on monday, hopefully everything will turn out well. Haha!

For the past week I was pretty disappointed that most of the resumes I send out none of em returned a reply, until Wed morning where I actually saw a reply from Alcehmy wasn't really expecting them to reply me due to it being a relatively new local agency. Alcehmy is also a listed member in 4As(ASSOCIATION OF THE ACCREDITED ADVERTISING AGENT SINGAPORE), just like JWT.

After signing the letter of appointment, had dinner with dar and yuting and following which a house party at this real cool post production hse called Black Magic Design(www.blackmagic-design.com), they produce TVCs for TBWA's M1 latest ad, the Singpost guy for Y&R sg just some meorable ones which I saw in their show reel. Met many peeps at the part espcially guys from TBWA, all of em were like yea as you might have guessed it Suits. They are all very glam dressed like some rich tai tais. I went off from the party feeling wasted, woke up the next morning at 7 to drop by Procolor sep for some tour of their plant, yea it was an insight cool. Till now thinking of the post appointed to me it felt good. Fuck I told myself I've got to work harder then I was before cause many people are looking at me, and I've got to prove them wrong and show them what I've got to show to the rest of the world.

Thanks god. Hope you will continue to bless me and guide me.

I've got Alchemied!!!

Yea!! I am so elated, I finally found a job in Advertising. Went for my first interview with them and I got it, though the pay wasn't high but its managable and able to sustain my daily allowance for now. Well its a visualiser cum Jr. Art Dir post, thats what I last heared from the CD Alvin Wong. I am like so looking forward to the new post, thank god for the blessing. Never expect to clinch the job that easily and it was never to my mind that I got in that easily. Really happy about it. Gona handle accounts for DBS, Peugeot cars and a couple of other brands. Really excited to start working on them at the same time nervous cause I am gona handle it as a full time staff.

Well tml I am going back to Alchemy again to sign my official letter, at the same time I will be going down for a party at Black Design with Jimmy and guys from JWT sg. Hahaha, really excited about that as well. Dudes I am going down to black design man, their CD's Jackson Tan, one the consiprator of PHUNK STUDIO. Yea!

Yea all the best in my new career with ALCHEMY and Partnership.

Last Day at JWT

Well last day at JWT, hai mix feelings. I really would miss those merry makers Jimmy, Ryan and Erika. They really make someones day. Luv them lots! Having to know that when monday comes I won't see them is just wierd, but of cause all good things has to come to an end. Yes it was a good end, everything went smooth sailing except that it was alittle busy as Ryan is rushing to send out his work for the CLIO awards in New York. Well hope it wins something, so eagerly looking forward to seeing the results in May - June07. Hahaha.

The guys bought me lunch at a bistro cafe at Ann Siang Hill, where I finally knew where Batey stood. It was just beside Scarlett Hotel and TBWA, which means its also very near JWT which is like 10mins walk? Hahaha. The food there was fabulous but the waiter a mat who slangs, well his service attitude sucks, pissed us off. Had a hearty meal afterwhich I dropped by Maxwell market bought curry puff for the team for tea break and 2 boxees of man jiang kui for the whole creative Department. Having to leave the place was really diffcult and worse to even say BYE to my team and mentor. So sad!! Bid farewell to the whole JWT creative team. It was defiently my pleasure being able to be there. Everyone was great!! Hope someday i could return back to JWT SG.


Well now slapped back to reality!! Gona do some sending out of resume. For work, Clarance helped me with one. But of cause nothing is confirm and all are pending. Hopefully I could get into my desired agencies.

Wish me luck.




Yea some last shots at JWT BTL room .

Yet another Post!

Yea its another post. Well everything seem alittle slow this week, prob there wasn't much to do at work!! Finally I am at my last week in JWT. Had a wonderful time, working with people who shared equal passion for the things they love and probably even more passionate then I proclaim myself to be. Hahaha! It was my pleasure!

Met up with Daniel and gang yesterday. Planned for a movie but because of lousy seats we moved on to a KTV session instead. Sang our hearts out but the night trully belong to Daniel, who broke up with Zhenhui just yesterday. Though he didn't say he was sad but I could understand the feelings that he is going through at the moment. After the KTV session it was around 2 plus so we decided to have supper(suggested by ah seng who is forever hungry) went over to Rivervalley which was recommended by Daniel's friend once of his cabin crew. We sat there talk awhile, talk about the crap of the past and of cause Daniel's relationship. But everything ended alright, no tears were broken and nothing too emo happened. Send Daniel's friend back, as she was staying just behind Zouk, then it was off to my place next. (Thanks Ian) Reached home around 4, chill abit readed some creative magazine and finally doze off to bed.

Here I am now writing this piece of shit.
Oh ya during the KTV session. Seng sang a song I introduced to him and he dedicated it Daniel and I, but I think it meant more for Daniel at that point of time. So here it is, I regretted not recording the moment he sang it. We all thought it was a nice song, nice lyrics. Enjoy!




Cheers!

1+1=2

Well back from a Long break. Yea! its my last 2 weeks at JWT. It was definetly an eye opener for me. Had so much fun with the creative projects, but still it was a short time for me to make any good friends there. Wasn't much to be done in the office. Everyones busy with their submission for the upcoming D&AD awards cause the deadline is on the 10th Jan 2007. If you don't know what D&AD is, try asking any peeps from the Creative Industry they would know how prestigious it is.

I am working darn hard on my portfolio. Hopefully by next week I can send out already. Please pray for me.

Alright that would be all. I will leave this post with this song.

2007!! BINGO...

Hey hey its 2007!

Where was I? Haha, I was at ZOUK again, doing the same things like last year, partying through the night. Had the opportunity to meet new friends, as well as catching up with some old sec sch mates(Letitia and Cheryl). But that night we were all very surprised by the act Sotong pulled. He popped by at Zouk ard 11 plus, he was here just to count down with us for the year 2007. Haha, this year steven has got nothing to say about him anymore, he really made us speechless, and we definetly had a good time counting down together.

Ian couldn't drink that night cause he was driving, so yea good for him!! As for me, I was like so seh already after 12, after Sherry gave me the glass of wine I was like hell why is the disco balls spinning man, Steven was also very high together with Ah seng who got complains from my sec sch mate saying he danced dirtly with them. So much to blog about for that night, but of cause like always something are better left unsaid.

Well put aside everything, a New Year means everything is back to zero. Got to work hard this year. Resolution has been noted down, I hope to make em all happen. Many important decisions to be made as well as many not so important notes to take care of.

Well everything ended in a good note for the year 2006. All my buds were there, what more can I ask for! It was like last years New Years Eve celebration, nothing short of a good note. Looking forward to a great 2007.
