Until i get my life totally moderated and used to my working life (despite it's already been a month!), please entertain yourself with my past entries. I'm having a fever now. My exhaustion is seriously ending my youth not forgetting my life as well. I'm so tired that it's not even funneh. Goodnight and farewell readers. One day i will fill this blog with its normal vibrancy and at times, melancholia, yet again.
One day.
Backaches
Alright, work is slowly killing me. It's one really hell of a process. Jumping straight to work after releasing myself from the country's beast is making my mind to progress real slow. I totally forgot how hard it is to be creative, nonetheless now to STAY creative. Argh. I really need to speed up my pace because i love this job oh so dear. I hate myself for being slow and un-imaginatively non-creative, because i'm putting myself in a situation that might bring a reputation down a couple of notches. AND i do not want that to happen. This is very tiring, i really hope that i can put myself together to work at things faster. It leaves such a bad impression as a newbie if i took the slow ride out, when deadlines are at stake. Haiz. It's a struggle that i got to go through with and it takes the word patience to a whole new level. I'm so tired that i've developed critical lower backaches and all.
On a happier note; 29th July 2007 - Collection of my new house keys! Finally and about time, that the new house is under my captivation. To immerse myself in an ambience of a spanking new home, was and still is my dream. Now let's countdown to that very day!
What am i doing now?
Work. It has taken almost my entire life. Oh well, i'm enjoying what i'm doing so that's cool. I shall retire to bed soon but i guess, for now i'll doodle around with my projects for the time being. Ok guys come down to SMU Green on the 25th and 26th July, 10pm - 2am and give me some love for my club haha. We're doing an event in collaboration with National Museum's first ever Night Festival. Zouk's first ever! Beatnik Picnic!
I'll be busy to the brim Monday onwards. WHOAH. Ok i need to sleep soon. Bye!
"...shake it..."
Alright, I'm gonna upload some photos of what happened during my past 2 weeks. From my Zouk events to some catch up session. It's nothing more but a photolog today. Enjoy!
First Up! Zouk's Very Plus 1 Party 040708 (My very first event when i started working at Zouk!) The balloons were a little tacky, but it's the best i can do.. i just started work for only 5days then!
Next up is a miserable photo from Zouk's Mambo Jambo 16th Anniversary. LOL In the photo are my colleagues Laura (she's being cut off), Alyssa, Sofie and Tammy. Cool retarded people they are!
Now lastly, before i head off to bed, some pics when i met up with Nadi, Nadiah, Herwin, Faridah, Mona, Sofi, Weimin, etc. at Fairmont Singapore last week. =D
OH, i've got one more thing. The series of flyers for July are all printed, and you'll see pretty much some peculiar items on it. Particularly my nike safari's and.. Shawn bro, realised anything familiar in it? HEH and omfg, MY NAME IS ON THE FLYER! It's uber cool! Ok ciaoz guys!
I've yet to have a proper rest and a proper weekend.
I've been working my ass off almost everyday for the past 14 days. Being part of the working society honestly, puts everything into a new ball game. I'm still under probation, but i hope i can nail it well and be a permanent zouk designer. Seriously, jumping from militaryhood to a world with different prospects is really intimidating and obviously, TOUGH. I've been under the sole captivation of the army, it causes much delusion to the creative aspect of my mind. The creative juices are still in blocks of ice. Aww man.
I'm having a hard time coping with everything, i guess, its harder than i think when it comes to adapting to changes and a new environment. I'm putting up a fight from within, but i'm certain that i'm not giving up. I know i'm a step behind than everyone else but i know i'll catch up. Just give me some time. I know i'll get my act right and eventually i think i'll hit the target.
Now, i am really tired but i got some stuff to do. With my dying comp i'll try to come up with what i can do, and what the pc can take. Goodbye all.
P.S. I really miss everyone of my friends. Argh. MSN doesn't do justice for this very moment.
AH back!
Sorry for the neglect of updates.
I've never been so busy in my entire life. I think most of you guys now know that i've already venture myself into the working world. The world of adults, where the pay rolls and the taxes comes knocking. Where bonuses arrives in your bank yearly and making you feel rich for a while. It's only been a week, but it's the most hectic and enjoyable week ever. I think to most of you guys, working at Zouk might be the coolest thing on earth; but honestly, behind the scenes of an event might just kill you if you can't work under pressure, it's no where near cool. When my first event ended last friday, Zouk's Very Plus One Party, the sense of satisfaction was overwhelming. Partied the entired night (i think) feeling like a bunny on crack. Though it wasn't the best set design, but i guess it was well received by the majority. It's hard to please everyone including myself, but since the majority agreed that the set was rather good for newbies like me and Scully (she's another set designer in the team who's my junior from school).
I really miss my friends. That's quite retarded because i see them online every other day. But i guess it still feels weird that i miss them. Shawn dude, meet up soon man and what's going on for your birthday? Dude really miss ya man haha And Jason, Serene, whoever when are you guys coming down to support one of my events? You guys missed the first one! (whimper whimper whine whine)
Ah Wednesday 9th of July, Mambo Jambo 16th Anniversary, yet another yearly event. Designs for the sets are done and sent for construction. I just hope everything will turn out okaye. Nothing to tacky or cheesy, but then again it's Mambo. How contradicting.
I guess i've yet to get used to the whole working life. What have i been doing ever since i started working? Well, practically nothing much but work. The working hours are from 10am - 7pm but i o.t. most of the time to the wee hours. This is funny because, i don't enjoy o.t. when i was working in some other company, but o.t. at Zouk is a whole new ball game. I guess, doing set designing is my forte. I've turned my hobby into a job besides graphic designing. Well, i deal with slight graphics as well, but my major are the set or props for events. Those nitty gritty details, from theme thinking to theme executions. I don't sit in front of my desk and bore myself to death daily, or see myself grow old with every click of the mouse. I do run around in the club, measuring, cutting, etc. EVERYTHING hands on, and time passes by really fast when you're totally caught up with work. It's all good, i hope.
Is it soon to say that i really love this job?
"...work week begins..."
i love my job. And i am not kidding.
