so much to blog

Finally found some time on this Friday night to actually sit down and do some solid writing in my blog, that I thought I have forgotten. Well have been very very busy after switching up to NERF CREATIVE from Alchemy, as well as today was my last pay cheque from Alchemy.
Less tension could be felt at the new office I am situated at and of cause the people I am working with are more down to earth no hypocrites, everyone gives each other respects.

I use to dread sundays while I was at Alchemy cos it ralways gives me that post monday blue feeling. Sunddenly that feeling don't really bother me anymore, have to agree with the experts that the working enviroment and the people you work with does make a difference in how you feel about work. The office is really cosy furnished, though at times its gets a little freezy but it was all good. They have a large collection of design books and magazine that really helps in our research and refrence while at work. Not forgetting the little pantry we have, which also happens to be Ian's frequent hangout either then his desk....haha, but still I miss the convenience of having a coffee machine which I have the privillage to use.

Working seems to be a big part of my life already, even on weekends I would be working on some shit. Haha...got to tell myself to take a break. Burn my last weekend on some stuff from work, though this week proves to be lesser in workload but still I am juggling on 2 macs and of cause did a crash course on adobe illustrator and indesign. Hahaha don't play play ah self taught man.

Just got my hair cut at Paul's salon and I think its great. So lucky I didn't highlight or dye my hair cos my farking reservist letter is here, they are asking me to report to the KINS(KEY INSTALLATION UNIT) at their base in ULU PANDAN as a Trainer, haha so it means having to start training up again!

Got to do some retail therapy soonz, but theres just so much things I want to get but so little money I could afford to spend. Hahaha. Oh well got to live with it and hope that someday I will make it big and ya big pay cheques will start rolling in...haha. cOoL! Well hope to blog abit more on my work again on the next entry, if time allows. Hahaha.

Some pics of the office and my work desk and Ians cos mine and his are linked. Hahaha.

so long

The weekend like the last ended so fast, it was like friday then saturday and then now what Sunday already! Why! Why the weekends just has to end so fast. I wish that they would last a little longer, just for me to enjoy myself that little longer.

Yesterday finally got a chance to meetup with mellie as well as the guys for a movie, yups it was 300. The movie was fantastic, the cinematography the lighting and the words that the character of the wise king used were inspiring. The whole movie was CG pushed and was a vast improvment from its predecessor "SINCITY" which was pure crap, everything about it was crap.

Went home work abit on my office stuff, after that watched NACHO LIBRE with my bro till around 1am and then back to work at my desk sending of an email to my copywriter and yea that sort of ends the day for me. Hahaha.

Later today meetup with my campmates, whom 3 of them has jus graduated from their air steward course which meant lesser meetsup with them as they will be flying very often.

lost out

My first job lost was the MTV thingy that I was saying in my last entry.

It was rather disappointing at first, but I slowly learned to embrace it. I had to partly blame myself for not partnering a copywriter as I was working alone. All the ideas were pretty random I was pretty much fighting this war all by myself. This makes me feel at times I should have been part of NERF rather then ALCEHMY cause sometime I feel peeps in Alchemy are full of themself. But I concede the lost as it was to those rookies in ALCHEMY, they had very strong and interesting conceptfor the spot which I was lacking. But nonetheless it was my first time brain storming for idea for a TV spot and fucking indeed it was an experince which reminds me one mind don't work that well and I got to be accompanied with a copywriter whenever I am engaged in a project.

A sigh of relief was that my CD did say I had an interesting idea, but of cause it followed with a sentence:" like you know GORDON I could not bring all the ideas to show to the client. That pretty much tells me almost everything there needs to be said already. Well I don't blame him cause the other teams really did put in lots of effort and thoughts into the MTV SPOT.Though my ideas wasn't choosen I still wish them all the best cause afterall we are still a team in general. Well sad and disappointing but this tells me to continue to work even harder, to read more see more venture into newer stuff.

Well tomorrow is another day.

A rollar coaster ride!

Damn this week passes so fast, and so did the weekend. Works been real slow this week, nothing new nor interesting to talk about except for the brief on MTV. Well rather not talk about it, cause sometimes been a junior ain't that good afterall don't wish to vent it out here!! Well gona submit my transcripts to NAFA soon, hope everything goes well.

Oh ya this reminds me that today is the chup guo mei, which is the last day of the LUNAR NEW YEAR. Yea this means, pig year has started and we can well prepare ourself for yet another zodiac year ahead. Everyone's got big plans ahead for this year as for mine, well I would say I did manage to achieve what I have said at the beginning of the year, though it wasn't exactly all in accordance nonetheless I saw where I stood and known my strength and weaknesses. Haven really got time for myself to really give a thought on what is to really happen for the coming years down the road, I will have to find a time to sit down quietly to give it a real thought, no others manipulation cause many of times I find myself a victim to others view. So this time fuck it!!

Anyways heres a song which has been running me through this whole week.
