\('-'*) The Wedding Dinner (*'-')/

Yeah I know I should have like wrote about the wedding dinner that was held on last sunday like on Monday or something but I drag until NOW then write..

Anyways before the wedding dinner, in the early morning, I have to get up and went along with my family to my uncle and Arina's new house to wait for my uncle to fetch the bride.
After he fetched the bride to the new house at Yishun, there is the ceremony where the groom and bride need to serve tea to the mother, father etc... Actually after that, there was a buffet but I skipped it because I didn't sleep the night before! Hahaha... So I went straight home when the buffet commenced.

My uncle's wedding dinner was held at Meritus Mandarin Hotel, in the Mandarin Ballroom ^^ it was quite glam and there were many guests.
Anyway I arrived at the scene at about 7:45pm with Jay. I was like dizzy and feeling nauseous, i think it was because I didn't have enough sleep and didn't eat breakfast and lunch. My uncle lectured me in a funny manner that how come I so late then come and give me that menacing-funny look. Haha.
Ok so we went to our table. The table number is 21. We were seated like just beside my uncle's table ^^ My uncle's close friends are all seated like behind him. My grany was sitting at the main table where my uncle sat, she really looked so nice with the creamy white cheong sam! (¯.¯)b
My brother's gf, Iris was already there, not knowing what to do, I introduced Jay to her. I didn't really chatted with her though, just sometimes give her a little smile. My little cousin was seated on the same table as me, I was quite happy with her sitting beside me. But I felt quite bad because Iris was like all alone. We waited for quite a long time, there was a band of wedding singers. They sing all the love songs including the song called , "Within you Remain" . The wo ai ni song that agwenalist loves so much! Lol! They are from Philippines and they really can sing well. All the love songs they sing made the atmosphere really well. I felt very happy.

Ok so I think the wedding dinner started on like 8pm where everyone is seated. This was when the MCs (one is Arina's best friend, one is my uncle best friend, his name is Da Wei) went up to the stage and made their open speech about my uncle and his wife Arina. Before they invited my uncle and Arina to come into the banquet, they displayed the clip that I did for my uncle and arina!
Omg.. I was so pai seh.. ; ; When I saw the clip, I wanted to dig a hole and hide! Something funny was that the guests thought that when the first part of the song was ending, it was the end of the clip so they started to clap but there was actually a second song! Hahaha.. I was thinking how come they all clapped their hands so quickly? Must be too hungry (¯¬¯) hahaha...

After the clip, the 2 MCs invited my uncle and his wife to enter, and they also requested the ppl who sat near the aisle that they were going to walk down, to actually threw the flowers petals to like bless them or something like that. Of course those who threw the petals are very close friends of Arina and my uncle! Wow it was like fun! How I wish I was there to throw the petals too but too bad I was sitting inside... Everyone was standing up of course to welcome them. Anyway my uncle and Arina looked sooooo happy when they walked in. And the flower petals... Wooo...

So they walked up to the stage and cut the wedding cake, then they were invited to be seated and the dinner commenced... I was already like -> (¯¬¯)
Really hungry! The food is really (¯.¯)b Enjoy it alot hahaha The wedding singers were like dedicating one song they perform to my uncle and his wife. ^^ so sweet.

Ok so in the middle of the dinner the MCs got up again and they were like talking and talking... while my uncle and Arina went to change their gown and suit. And this time they were invited again into the banquet and up the stage to pour the champagne. This time round they made a thank you speech to everyone. My uncle said "Ma Wo Ai Ni!" Hahaha that was so sweet. :) It came to a surprise that my uncle actually thank me at the end of the speech and announced to everyone that I made the clip, I was abit frozen.. So when he thanked me, I looked at him and Arina and gave my best smile. I thought I don't really get that big of a credit for him to thank me in the public ^^

And then the relatives were asked to go up to "yam seng" with the bride and groom. Hehe almost all my close relatives went up but I didn't join in as I don't drink.
So then again we "yam seng" like 3 times before we were invited to sit and continue our dinner.
By then my bladder can't hold on anymore >.< color="#ffccff">You Needed Me" to let the bride and the father have the first dance. My uncle later then cut in. The singers also invited others to join in to the dance floor. But mostly is old people who danced Hahaha XD The wedding singers performed this song and it really suited the whole dance wonderfully.
Well at that moment, I thought my granny must be feeling lonely since my grandpa had passed away.
I hope my grandpa will be happy that his son finally got married! :)

Personally I don't like the song "You Needed Me" but after that night, I felt that this song is really special and nice ^^

Anyway, after then, the wedding singers perform so many song some fast some slow, and all the old people were like dancing madly. HAHAHA.. it was quite funny...

I love weddings! So happy to see the happy faces of wedding couples walking down. I will feel the happiness surging up in my heart ^^ Oh well I only love weddings if the bride and groom are people whom I am close to. Like zen, agwenalist, astaldoreiel hee hee... so who is next? ;)

Lastly I would like to dedicate this song "You Needed Me" to my uncle and arina!
May their love be everlasting! :D

You Needed Me

I cried a tear
You whipped it dry
I was confused
You cleared my mind
I sold my soul
You bought it back for me
And helped me up
And gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me]

(Chorus):
You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again
You put me high
Upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me
You needed me
And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you
And you were there
And I'll never live what should I feel
I need a fool
And I finally found someone who really care
You needed meYou held my hand
When it was cold
When I was lost
You took me home
You gave me love
When I was empty, and
And turned my light
Back into truth again
You even called me friend

(Repeat Chorus)
You needed me
You needed me
You needed me
You needed me
You needed me

Xiao Jie, Yao bu yao mai Tissue?

I woke up at 4am in the morning now and today, typing this piece of blog. I can't bring myself to sleep anymore. Think I slept too much now too much energy so cannot get into dreamland.

Yeay finally went out and met up with agwenalist and zen! We went to Akashi to have our dinner! As usual Akashi never fail to deliver wonderful food to my table! Haha! Anyways if you are wondering what is so good about this japanese restaurant. Go to City Link, near Delifrance, it's situated near the escalator. Try it! Especially the Shake(Salmon) Terayaki! Then we chatter about zen's favourite pup -> QQ and how she wanted to kill her etc. Of course that was meant to be a joke. Then we talked about The Simple Life and Young, Posh and Loaded, these 2 reality show following on the young riches... I kept complaining about how filthy rich are those young kids to agwenalist and zen over dinner at Akashi.
Ok the "tissue-uncle" joke haven't begun yet up until now.

So after we had our delicious and very full dinner, we strolled to Esplanade, to the open theatre to watch the free rock gigs call "Made In Singapore". That time it was the time slot for "Electrico", so we sat around and listened. Among the band members, I only find that the keyboardist is pretty rad. Others didn't particularly stood out.
agwenalist told me that one of the band members worked in her office and he is very fierce. I told her to be fierce back to him!

Ok so... blah blah they sang some songs, audience cheered. And then... the vocalist was talking about this song about this guy who want to sing to people so they will pay him in some hawker centre... and the people are very rude to him...

Then at this point I suddenly remembered... the "Tissue-Uncle" that agwenalist mentioned to us in her blog. For more information and laughters please refer to her blog entries entitled, "The Missing Agar Agar" And in her case, she was the victim. That "Tissue-Uncle" actually is rude to her. And because of the comics she drew on her blog, emphasising on "From this expression" to "This expression" that I started monkeying around. I kept imitating the uncle expressions to her, then asked her and sometimes Zen, but mostly is her, "Xiao Jie, Yao bu yao mai Tissue?" Even Zen joined in the fun!
But my point is... agwenalist is the real funny one. She can imitate the uncle expression so well!

After hearing Electrico, we went to this chocolate bar call Max Brenner -> "chocolate from the bald man" (was wondering why did he put that phrase, chocolate makes us bald? Or does great chocolate comes only from bald ppl?)
We had this chocolate fondue, It was quite nice, agwenalist was in the seventh heaven, kept saying "Hmmm! So nice!" Hahaha I still can remember her longing expression when she kept looking at the chocolates display...
Oh then it was here that agwenalist imitated the uncle fierce expression! It was really funny man!!!

Another thing I noticed is whenever you order something, people will keep looking at what you order. Take for example, agwenalist she order the "very cold chocolate shot" and when it arrived, the girls on the next table kept looking. The chocolate really look like tequila shots, the glass is real small. Wonder why, is it because over dosage of high content chocolate will result in death? Like tequila shot? agwenalist let us try but I don't find it nice, there is like bits of chunks of "stuff" inside.
Also tried zen's strawberry float. It was quite ok.

Ok after the whole chocolate thingy, it was like around 10 plus, so we went back to the open theatre. By then the sky kind of wanted to rain so the next band was more or less cancelled. The next one is call "Tania" very feminine name but with all big sized band members...
-.- and we all thought "Tania" is like a female solo..

We walked back to Esplanade and found somewhere to sit. At the beginning there wasn't anything much to chat about so I was playing the "Tissue-Uncle" episode again... I don't know why in the end we talked about marriage, having to deliver babies, wanted our kids to learn what and what, our jobs...
We were quite scare of giving birth as it will be such a painful experience. I wonder why my mom wanted to go through the trouble of giving birth to me. I mean now I know the troube she has gone through for me. ^^;;

In terms of our career...

agwenalist wanted to be a Graphic Designer in the very near future. She wanted to work for some magazine.
zen wanted to be a Beauty Consultant.
As for me... I am currently jobless.. haha no plans.. guess I either want to be a slacker if not a 3D artist.

When it come to our kids...

agwenalist wanted her kids to learn music, it is a definitely must for her. Anything artisitic.
zen wanted her kids to learn Ballet, learning piano is a must for male or females, Kendo...
me... I wanted my kids to definitely learn drawing! And they all must be good looking! When they grow up, they must have a nice figure.. Lol, and they must be good in academic or athletic. They must have lots of suitors etc...
Well at this point, agwenalist was protesting against zen wanting the kids to learn ballet as it will result them walking like ducks... She was also pointing out that how can I control whether my kids will look good or not, and also how many suitors they will have. But she totally agreed on the part where they cannot be fat and must have good figure.
I was thinking whether the kids will all be like pressurised because they have too much things to learn, I mean they are part of our flesh and blood, it will only bring heart ache to us to see them suffer.
And I was telling them as if we are really going to have kids now... the future of having kids is still so far away. So we all laugh away...

Then i started to ask them so like what is the acceptable age for them to say yes to marriage proposals?

agwenalist said 28.
zen don't like to set boundaries as to when she want to get marry, if the moment is right she will just say yes!
I said I don't want to get married!

At this point again agwenalist and zen kept saying me and jay will get married blah blah... -.-
agwenalist say the right age is 28 because after 28 it will be difficult to find a suitable boyfriend as we will be near to 30. Then she ponder to the question what if we cannot married off the shelf. And she started to say she dislike those relatives always asking qn like "Do u have a boyfriend?" blah blah...

So we decide to role play
agwenalist is the bitchy auntie and I am sort of like her...

Great 8th Aunt: Aye You are XXX child right?
Me trying to be agwenalist: No I am AAA child.
Great 8th Aunt: Ohhhhh ya.. Got boyfriend or not?
Me trying to be agwenalist: No...don't have
Great 8th Aunt: DON'T HAVE? how come?
Me trying to be agwenalist: Standard too LOW, CANNOT match me
Great 8th Aunt: Office leh?
Me trying to be agwenalist: All old old one...
Great 8th Aunt: Your sis and brother all got gf bf already leh...
Me trying to be agwenalist: Ya but they will break soon don't worry hor..

The above conversation, I adapt some parts from agwenalist blog cos I was too lazy! Hahaha!
XD

No offence to agwenalist's sibs! I was trying to monkey ard as usual! Lol. Please don't take it to heart! I was thinking all these "San gu liu po" always trying to dig out news, I mean like why do they asked so much? Do they care? No I don't think so.. I just think they wanted to hear something bad happen then they will be happy cos they have something to gossip among their community of gossip mongers! So since they wanted to hear it so badly might as well say something shocking and bad to them hahaha!
Sorry sorry! m(_ _)m

In the end we talked and talked until past 12 midnight. We were like so shocked! There wasn't any train for us to take back home so we went to take money from ATM machine then went home. Wanted to chat somemore but jay was locked out of the flat, and nobody was in at the moment so I have to go back first.

Talking about ATM machine.. Esplanade is kind of stupid not having POSB/DBS ATM machine. I have to go to some mini mart to take out the money through this dunno what service which will charge me like 80 cents. -.-
Oh another thing... I saw Electrico on the chart of like some dedication list on Nickelodeon channel. Wow they are that hot? I have no idea man. Or did i see wrongly? They have a song call "Runaway" ya?

Anyways I really enjoyed going out with agwenalist and zen that night! It was pure fun! XD
Really have lots of laughs! Too bad I forgotten to bring Plain Sunset cd...
And if only I am much much richer...

This blog entry, I shall dedicate to pure fun girls night out! And of course! To the "Tissue-Uncle", thanks for making our outing so much more fun!

~Wedding Bells Are Ringing~

As I am typing this blog, I am exporting the final edited version(well hopefully) movie of my uncle and his wife-to-be wedding photos!
Phew... Finally I have finished it but there were minor changes and I have edited it.

Their wedding dinner is this Sunday! Yeay! All I can think of is the yummy food! Hahaha! The photo filmstrip that I have done for them will be shown to the guest before the banquet starts I think.

Helenwintermelon once told me over MSN that she thinks that this type of photo filmstrip is so corny, it's like showing the world how in love the wedded couple are. Hahaha.
Personally I'm quite neutral about it! Oh ya I did this thing for them for free! Hehe on the account that my uncle is such a good man!

During the process of doing this, I kept listening to Donna Lewis's and Richard Marx's "At the Beginning". Yes that love ending theme from the animated film "Anastasia". Recently I have been watching it too. I love it so much! Especially Anya. She has the most character in the film anyways! How I wish I have such wonderful romance too! Hahaha!
Ok so I was inspired by "Anastasia", my uncle's wife picked the song "You Needed Me" for the photos flimstrip but it wasn't long enough.
So my uncle picked one of Stefani Sun's song but I told him it's wierd that you play english song in the beginning then at the back part a chinese song pops in, so he asked me to pick any appropriate song and put it in.
So of course I choose "At the Beginning", it's the perfect song for wedded couple! Ahem... helenwintermelon told me before that wedding is just the beginning not the end. So the lyrics has it all.

We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me, I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope You were there to remind me
This is the start

This is part of the lyrics, it is very straight forward but significant enough!
Hee hee I am just very happy for my uncle and his wife!

Lately I can't get to sleep. Slept at 3am but then my mind just won't shut down. ; ; It keep generating and thinking about stuff. Now I know where all my paranoia come from. So I keep turning and tossing, and suddenly it's 6am! I was like what!? I spend 3 hours in the bed turning and tossing around!?
I hope to sleep earlier ; ; say like 11pm. Get into a more healthy habit. Sleeping late at night is very bad habit..

Pei just told me she is going to resign her admin job today. Hehe Join the jobless clan! Hope she will start on her portfolio soon!
Speaking of portfolio... astaldoreiel just send me this photo ---->



Ok astaldoreiel is a big fan of LOTR, so she has been writing great stories relating to elves. Which also include me ^^ In the story, she and me are twin sisters, we are high elves related to Arwen's father. He is our uncle. So the romance part of the story is astaldoreiel is in love with a mortal, and she is the more impulsive one, right astaldoreiel? I hope I get it right hee hee ^^;; If I am wrong don't come and kill me!
Ok so now for my part, I am in love with a mortal general but astaldoreiel wanted to add in a third party to complicate things which is of course MORE fun! Hahaha!
So... That photo above is what astaldoreiel has pictured of the third party! His name is Glorfindel, he is an elven lord and he will be the third party in my love relationship in the story that is! Hahaha!
When I received the email she sent to me, I was ecstatic. Really, I mean look at the photo! Isn't he divine looking!? He is most suitable to be an elven lord! Anyway he is an actor, his name is River Phoenix, if I am not wrong, he passed away already since he was quite young. By accident.

So in my reply to astaldoreiel, I told her that I have the urge to transform that photo above into Glorfindel for real! I will draw him with that pose, that look, but I will change his hair style, well maybe not much but longer hair for an elven lord ;) And of course I need to add some elven lord clothes too!
I think it's going to be a long and hard project, I haven't touch my friggin pencil for say 2 years? ~_~
But it's going to be an exciting one! If possible I am going to borrow jay's wacom and color him hehehehe ^^

Ok here are some awe-inspiring artworks that I have visited recently. Really inspired and motivate me!

Shawn Ye - Singaporean guy ok!!! Damn talented. I guess he is the only Singaporean in this forum...

Ninja Rules!

If you let me choose between being a Samurai and Ninja, I will definitely choose Ninja! Cos they just rock man!!!
Don't get me wrong, Samurai is cool too. They are just too "heavy" with their armor etc, overly loyal and too inflexible. Unlike Ninja, they are flexible, agile, silent, swift... creatures of the night. Well they operate better in the nights anyways. But of cos, good ninjas operate well in whatever conditions they are in!

Talking about Ninja reminds me of Naruto! Got to know this anime from Pei Pei while working in Silicon Illusions. Grab the first issue and read it, it was funny and thought nothing much about it. Until recently, I got to watch the anime on cable channel 56. Suddenly I am in love with Ninja all over again. Even in FF, I play the job of a Ninja.

Being a Ninja takes as much discipline as being a Samurai, maybe more. And with their many levels of ninjistu, it just makes it more difficult to be a successful Ninja.

In Naruto, there is different level of Ninjas.

There is

"Huo Ying", "Shui Ying" etc
(translate: Fire Shadow, Water Shadow) The five elements Water, Fire, Earth, Air, another one I forgot what element it is.. maybe is Dark element.
It's is the highest rank of Ninja.

"Shang Ren"
Second highest rank of Ninja.

"Zhong Ren"
Third rank of Ninja.

"Xia Ren"
Lowest rank of a Ninja.

Story about Naruto:

Naruto is an orphan and since he embodies the spirit of a nine-tail demon fox that destroyed many Leaf Village lives 12 years ago, the village people treats him as the nine-tail demon fox and all act very cold toward him. Growing up without parents and any friends, Naruto always tries to be funny and mess up on purpose in order to get attention. Although Naruto's grades at the the Ninja Academy is extremely bad, he trains very hard in order to improve his skills. Naruto later paired up with Sakura and Sasuke to train with Kakashi. Naruto has a crush on Sakura, but unfortunately, Sakura's heart has already been taken by Sasuke.

It's really an interesting anime and very popular in Japan. ^^

Oh there is one more thing about it... that is the ending song of the first season of Naruto. It's very nice!
It's sung and written by Akeboshi. He has a very unique way to sing the song. Love it. And he sung it in english! Ahem! Very few japanese sung songs in english.

This is Naruto at the ending theme song. Like the artwork of him here, portray his sad side.



"Wind"

Cultivate your hunger before you idealize.
Motivate your anger to make them all realize.
Climbing the mountain, never coming down.
Break into the contents, never falling down.

My knee is still shaking, like I was twelve,
Sneaking out of the classroom, by the back door.
A man railed at me twice though, but I didn't care.
Waiting is wasting for people like me.

Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

You say, "Dreams are dreams."
I ain't gonna play the fool anymore."
You say, "'Cause I still got my soul."

Take your time, baby, your blood needs slowing down.
Breach your soul to reach yourself before you gloom.
Reflection of fear makes shadows of nothing, shadows of nothing.

You still are blind, if you see a winding road,
'Cause there's always a straight way to the point you see.

Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

I like the lyrics...
Just realise something. When I don't work, I suddenly discover so many nice anime hur hur hur!!!

Hotaru no Haka "Tombstone For Fireflies"

Today I just watched an anime called Hotaru no Haka a.k.a Tombstone For Fireflies. It is a 1988 production but the animation, color and the quality of this anime is excellent.
The fact that this film is animated does not take away from the realism of the film. The drama is real, and there isn't any trace of that "Disney" formula junk where everything ends up all right in the end, making it even more realistic.

Introduction

It is late in the Second World War in Japan, and there is a young boy sitting on the floor of a train station. He faints, then dies. The janitors, while cleaning, point out the dead, and approach the young boy. One of the janitors take a tin container from the boy's pocket, the container, supposedly for fruit candy. But when he opens it and finds an ashy substance. Not knowing what to make of it, he pitches it outside into a field. Startled by the container, a swarm of fireflies rise from the grass, and the small spririt of the boy and his sister appear among the insects, and their story is told.

Plot Synopsis

In the latter part of World War II in Japan, a boy and his sister, orphaned when their mother is killed in the firebombing of Tokyo, are left to survive on their own in what remains of civilian life in Japan. As the situation grows progressively worse in the war, things deteriorate proportionally on the homefront. We follow Seita and Setsuko as they do their best to survive in the Japanese countryside, battling hunger, prejudice, and pride in their own personal battle.

This anime is really very sad and heart wrenching. From the beginning till the end. ;_; I cried while watching this anime. The sister is really really cute. You can see the transformation from a hyper young kid to a under-nourished kid, the war and harsh environment have robbed away the happiness and the life of her childhood. The brother is very pitiful too.
This anime is not about whose fault is it in war, instead it focus on the struggle of the brother and sister.

On Friday night, I met up with my ex-colleagues to have dinner @ Pasta Fresca Suntec. It was wonderful :D Mac, Joyce, Felicia and Evon were there. At first, Mac and Evon were not there because they need to rush something in the office so only Joyce and Felicia were there. We shopped around abit. I realise Joyce loves to shop alot! Haha not surprising since she is from Hong Kong. She told me that she never saves and always used her money to buy clothes. I told her that I used my money to spend on CDs then she asked me CDs can wear meh? LOL
Went to quite alot of shops, Mango, Ebase, Topshop etc. Alot of nice clothing BUT very expensive. How can they spend so much on clothes!? O_O

We went to Pasta Fresca first then after awhile Mac and Evon arrived. Evon bought me a very cute piyo piyo toy! When u shake it, it will have this chick-chick sound. :) So we were happily eating our food and chatting away. We chatted on the topic of ghosts.
Then they talked about the company office. Last time that malay guy who worked for 10 years in New Era told Joyce and Mac that one night he was working very late in the office alone and when he walk pass this semi transparent glass panel. He saw a pair of eyes looking through at him! O_O
And the scariest thing is that this glass panel is near where i sit... ^^;;
Maybe the decision of quitting is right haha...
My ex company also have another branch office in Thailand. The staffs there all saw the "thing" before at a certain time at a specific place in the office. Even the boss himself saw before. He will avoid going to that corner at 'that' time.. I wonder what did they saw. Something hideous looking?

I have been asking myself whether quitting this job is my biggest mistake? But Jay told me I might quit for a good reason. I'm really glad that he is always there to say encouraging stuff to me and not pouring wet blanket.

My uncle was in the hospital and I went to visit him yesterday. He got gall infection. :( Luckily it's not something that is very bad. He didn't tell alot of relatives, not even my granny. When my granny got to knew it, she cried and asked over on the phone why my uncle hide it from her. I am just glad that my uncle is fine now. He will be discharged on Monday.

During the visit, my uncle asked me what I have been doing, then I told him I have quitted my job already. He was shocked. Haha... He asked me that I really have to have the motivation to do my job, he said that if I rest too long, I will become the way I am, don't feel like working, no motivation and no fuel.
He asked me whether am I interested in studying. Asked me to find out more on studying aboard or even better locally. Ahhh. How do I start to find? Local have 3D animation!? Hmm.. I really don't know. For overseas, I have to go to various embassy to find out which school has the course that I wanted to study.
Well we will see about that.

Today blog will be dedicated to the sister and brother of Hotaru no Haka.
My uncle may he have a speedy recovery.
And Jay. :)

My Last Time Here

October the 1st! New month has started! And here I am. In home typing this blog. Yes I have quitted my job.

Ironically agwenalist has been in her company for 2 years while I have been in my company for 2 months and then BANG! yesterday was my last day in the company.
Compare it people.. 2 years and 2 months. Sigh... I have did it again. How come I can't stay put in one company? :( I am born in the Year of Dog. I feel like a stray dog.. sigh...

Suddenly I realise something. I quitted not because of the people there. It's just that whenever there are problems with the work, I will feel so frustrated and irritated. For example, I did a design and they keep wanting me to change time after time. I know that is a graphic designer life especially a new entry designer. Who knows how to run even before they know how to walk? I don't think I can have a one time approval for the work I have done for being an inexperienced graphic designer, I know I must work hard and have enough experience to be able to do that. But I choose to quit. Sigh. I am such a loser. Can't face even a little problem. Kick a HUGE fuss over a problem that I can't get over.

Complains about my colleagues are just an excuse to quit this job. That is what I have realised.

I have picked my choice and I can't look back now. ;_;
I must walk forward and do what I can do now.

Yesterday was a really sad day for me. I love the colleagues there even I keep bad-mouthing them. Really I do. They are actually very good. :(
They treated me to lunch at Sakae Sushi. They even bought me a very special cup! And a big card.

The cup is really very special. The outside packaging is a tin with a graphic of a body but not the head. Then the head of the body is imprinted on the cup itself. So u need to put the cup on the tin itself to complete the whole graphic. It's very cool. And it is made by Germans! (~_^)b
I don't think I will ever use the cup ever... I will treasure it with all my heart. Also my colleagues..

I realise after so many companies I went to, and along the way I met so many people. It's just amazing. I feel like I am travelling over the "world". And whenever I quit a company, no matter how long or how short the stay is, I will feel this way, sad and can't bear to leave my colleagues.
Yday I stayed in New Era until 9pm haha! Yes man I can't bear to leave the company! Actually I waited for Mac to finished playing his games so we can go home together. Actually among all the companies I have quitted, Aretae is the only company I don't feel this "sad-can't-bear-to-leave"
feeling. Haha! I actually felt relieved to have left!

So during lunch at Sakae Sushi, we coincidentally met 2 ex colleagues of New Era. They are Harry and another Malay guy which I don't know how to pronounce. They are both in the Sales dept in New Era. The Malay guy worked for 10 years before he quitted New Era! And they actually quitted to join another game distributor company! So when Harry found out that I want to quit the job, he kept asking me what experiences do I have etc. Then the other colleagues asked him

"Hey you interested in hiring her huh?"

Actually when I resigned this position, I told them I found another job that is related to 3D. But of course that is a stupid lie. I really don't know how to tell them the frustrations I have with this job that's why I wanted to quit. So I weave up this lie... and the ball keeps getting larger. Cuz everyone is asking where is it. And what is the name of the company. So i anyhow use a company name that my friend is working in and told them. And from my memory, that company is located ard Chinatown.. ;_; and that is quite near to Henderson Industrial Park. Actually I am not sure whether it's located near Chinatown. Die man. What if they checked and it's not!? I am in hot soup! LOL Damn it! So they say next time can go lunch with them.. etc etc
How to meet them when i am in Cuppage Road!? But I do feel very bad and guilty about lying to them :(

BTW If you all are interested to see what Harry and the Malay guy look like go to:

Ok now u see the very right there are boxes of photos of each of them right? The second one is Harry! The third one is the malay guy. Haha they are quite funny looking. :D
Oh their company is located at 5, Ubi Road Wintech building! LOL Go there visit if you are free hahahah.. Actually I wonder who is the designer. And don't you find the bald malay guy look like "The Rock" the wrestler? LOL! But that bald malay guy is not the ex colleague of New Era. It is the other one that is.

Actually I found another job but it is a temp admin job at Starhub Cuppage Road at Prudential.
My new job is as follows:

Monday - Thursday
8:30am - 5:15pm

Friday
8:30am - 5:30pm

Wierd timing right? O_o Sat no need to work! Yeay! o(^-^)o Bad thing is need to wear formal on Monday to Thursday, Friday casual! :D

Why am I so happy with this job? -__- I don't know. There are 3 other people working with me. Hope they are not bitches and hope they are around the same ages with me. I think the other 3 are just fresh graduates. Just hope I can get along well with them. Things just flashes pass my mind. Like what if lunch time, the 3 of them went without me!? O_O Oh well it's ok I shall eat lunch alone then.

Most importantly, I hope the things they gave me are not too brain consuming or too difficult. Prudential don't pay me enough to work on this! -__- LOL!
And that stupid agent said mins ago that she will sms me the address of the company. But until now still no news from her -___-

Gilbert, Mingyi, Cheryl, Huang Ling, Chloe, Richelle, Joyce, Felicia, Evon, Terrence, Mac, if you ever come across this blogger of mine, please don't get angry, didn't mean to bad mouthed you all. And don't mean to lie to you all. The best I can do is to say a big sorry to you here in my blog. And thank you ever so much that you all take good care of me. ;_;

Today this piece of blog, I will dedicate to them. May they be happy always.


Fav song of the moment: Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss A Thing" (fits my mood now. Although the song is about love, to me it's more about the colleagues I love.) ya la i know it's a bit passe and cliche song but still... I like the first part so much. The music only.. it's very ominous. :)

Side note: agwenalist, I hope Prudential has internet so I can still chat with you through MSN. You know I really enjoyed talking to you and Zen. :) Don't be sad ok? *hugs*

Oh yeay one more thing about blogger. How come the time adjustment is so stupid whenever I edit my blog the time will become one hour faster then I have to adjust it again!! Damn it! Stupid blogger! >:(
