Death Is Here...

To be more exact, DeathNote is here...

Tis movie banner job happen to come into my company, tats y i realised tis movie which is going to be broadcasting in Singapore... It is showing on 19th October @ all Golden Village...

Tis movie is originated from a best-selling comics in Japan, named wif the same name as DeathNote...

Juz by watching tis trailer preview, i find tis movie is totally awesome... Nothing is going to prevent mi from watching tis movie... The actor casting as Light/Rika, hmmm somehow i dun find him resemblences to the actor's face in the comics... But the actor casting as L, wow... His eyes wif dark black rings... Making his whole person as if coming out from the comics...

Becoz tis banner is printed (Prehaps only some) by my company, so i do hve the working Hires files of tis DeathNote Movie pics... Printed one huge poster plus lami, looks so nice to be pasted on my room wall... Haha...

There is the preview for tis awesome movie... Have a look...

Some Birthday Celebration Updates & Mid Autumn Festivals

Wow...

For tis year mid-autumn festival... I am like "participting" in tis festive alot... Like there r quite some jobs in my company which is related to Mid Autumn... And i need to come out wif some key elements to add into my artwork... Thus i used Illustrator to design some elements, like mooncakes, lanterns, Moon goddness, bright moon... etc...

I am quite satisfied wif wat i done... Thou the elements r little... Coz when i need reference artworks for mi to use it as a base, i could hardly find much... So wat i can come out from wild thoughts r juz these simple design... But mark my words... If next yr i'm still working in tis company (IF), i will not hve tis problem... Coz in tis year, i hve collected A LOT of brochures to add into my collection from the Mooncake Fair at Ngee Ann City... Is A LOT hor...

I went down to Ngee Ann City there for quite some trips... My motive tis time, isn't like last year (Juz go there for free sampling)... I'm realli there to buy Mooncake... I pick up many brochures, done quite handful of sampling... In the end, the two selected brands i decide to go buying (From one of them), is the The Regency and Shangri-La Hotel... I approach Regency first, asking the staff on their variations and selection... Den lastly i ask if i can mix to form a box of 4 different Mooncake... And juz like tis, the staff says i will need to pay the total price of individual mooncake's price... She suggust mi buying one box wif same flavour, so tat it will cost mi onli $39... But if mixing... even if i mix Mooncake of the same price, my total addup cost will be $48... Wow... My frenz po-low-so her further, still no exception... Den too bad... I shall proceed to purchase Mooncake from my second option, which is from Shangri-La... The staff is polite, n veri willing to introduce their Mooncake to mi... I like their Pandan flavour alot, and like their ginseng flavour alot... After some sampling... I purchase one box, named "Xiang Gong Si(Four) Bao(Tresures)" from them, which consist of 4 different flavours of mooncakes... And the cost is $46 after GST... Hmmm... Quite a good choice, and their box is quite nice... Haha... I will keep tis box till long long time... Who noes when i need mooncake boxes or artwork to do design tracing...???

On the next trip down again... I bot a box of Crispy Yam "Mooncake", which i like the strong fragance of their yam and the crispy of their skin... Juz bot n finished it up veri quickly during the nite at home... Haha...

Prehaps, i will go down again tis weekend, or next, to buy another box from Goodwood Park, which plp says their Durian Snowskin is veri yummy...

I dun noe if tis is rit... I onli see one stall there selling bird nest mooncake, which when i am there on last Saturday, the staff told mi it is sold out... But their stock will be replenished on Tuesday, which is today... So, those plp tat will like to buy bird nest mooncake, can drop by Ngee Ann City today to buy it, while stock last...

On 17th Sept. went down to celebrate TJ's BDay at ... (In fact i dun reali noe the name of tat place)

Happi Birthday To You...
Happi Birthday To You...
Happi Birthday To TJ...
Happi Birthday To You...

We had "Ma La Spicy Steamboat", which is indeed veri spicy... Tis is in fact, my humbly first time eating "Ma La Spicy Steamboat"... And i realised, i should not eat such food... Coz tis is a buffet, and i find myself not eating alot and enjoying in tis makan... The onli food tat i can eat, r those cheap cheap items... J & TJ r the onli ones tat r enjoying the sweetness of tat spicy soup... Haha...

Regardless... The present tat we get for TJ, is a TimberLand wallet tat we purchase at Wallet Shop... Lucky i am there to do shopping wif HM & J, to decide wat to get for TJ, else they may hve selected childish-looking wallet... etc...

One funny example is tis... They moved to one glass table, looking down at the wallet... Den they commented those wallets r nice... I told them, those designs somehow suited my brother's age veri well... But my brother wun carry such wallet wan... Coz he wun wan plp to say him still so childish to carry such wallet... Bobian on my disapproving comments, they moved right abit to look at another range selection of wallet... Den they start comment those wallet r good... Yes, somehow comparing the current wallets wif the previous wan, these r better, but still look teenaging to mi... The gals start to agree on those wallet and ask mi abt it... Haha... I gave no reply... Juz took out my wallet from behind n place it on the table... Tis is wat i call adult wallet... *ABish* Haha... They immediately noe wat i'm going to say next... So we quickly move out to seek another shop for browsing...

Let mi be a spoilt brat abit by announcing out the cost of tat TimberLand wallet... Is $130 plus a one dollar change... And the cost for the three tier layers of wrapping is $10... Wah Sei... Haha... Believe at ur own risk...

----------------------------------------------------------

Once in every year... Tis yr, we celebrate J's BDay on 24th Sept Sunday...

Happi Birthday To You...
Happi Birthday To You...
Happi Birthday To J...
Happi Birthday To You...

J suggested to go Mind Cafe for lunch... Mind cafe is a good place to hang out playing games... But if u tok abt hving any main course meal there, it wasn't a good choice... We did play quite some games there... And the first game tat we played there, is a game tat WC introduce to mi when my bunch of brothers went there... After tat, we played animal games, detective games and stako games... The game tat we play, n i like it veri much... Is the Simpson detective game... It is a game tat u need to go guessing, who is the murderer, which is the killing weapon, and the location where the murder take place... Is a veri fun & mind guessing game... I'm the first one to declare i hve answer... Yet i guess wrongly... It is all J's fault... Wat a liar she is to trick mi in believing tat the professor is the murderer... When a person guess wrong, he/she will automtically be dead... Leaving the remaining players to continue guessing... A veri fun game indeed... In the end, PL guess it correctly for tat game... Hurray...

HM, PL and TJ gave a $60 Topshop voucher to J as her BDay gift... I dun share in tat gift... Coz i had told her on the previous day, tat my present will onli deliever to her on Tuesday morning, which is later i'm going to meet up wif her for breakfast...

For the sake of tat present... I contribute a lot of walking power on Saturday to find her the present... Initially, i'm tinking to buy her a diamond pendant (Of coz the diamond selection i opt for, wun be veri expensive lah)... But i remember, on the second last trip shopping wif them... She mention before abt diamond's clarity value... If tat vlue is too lousy, plp when seeing tat diamond, will find their cuts to be veri blur... Regardless... I still walk round Raffles City & City Link to look for a decent present... Yet i still dun find one satisfying present...

I feel like buying Brand G stuffs as present, yet it is too expensive, beyond my humble budget... Den suddenly i remember HM they all r buying TopShop's vouchers to her as gift... So i straight away tink tat i can oso buy Brand G's vouchers for her as well... So i walk round the whole City Link, whole Suntec (Until Carrefour there), yet dun find any Brand G shop there... So i made my way to Marina SQ to tour round again for finding, yet i dun see any Brand G shop there... So lan lan... In the end, i walk all the way back to City Hall MRT, take MRT to Orchard...

Coz i noe there is a Brand G shop there... Upon reaching there... I peep into the shop, i see many plp wearing veri elegantly inside... Actually, on tat day, i actually wear veri normal wear... So i will find myself veri out of place if i enter into those shop... I make a U-turn n walk again... Den i finally see some casual wear plp inside... So i brace up my courage n step inside... The sales assistant did saw mi, but they didn't came to mi to offer help... So i approach one of the Sales guy... I ask him if they do sell gift vouchers... He do make an effort to go inside to ask his management first, before returning back to mi, and answer politely tat they dun sell gift vouchers... So first option Brand G is out...

Second option is Brand P. However, no matter how many times i walk pass tat shop, peeping my eyes inside... I can onli see plp wearing veri exaggerated clothings inside... They r like carrying an animal on their back like tat... In the end... I didn't go inside to ask... Too out of place for mi...

So third option is Brand B. Likewise, i do sevveral passing by, peeping inside, before i finally step inside the shop to ask... OMG... Brand B do sell vouchers, but they onli sell during weekdays, not weekends... Sadly leaving...

My fourth option is Brand E... I make my way to Brand E... Tour inside the shop... Yes, Brand E had a veri wide selection of apparel, but i still prefer to buy something better...

So i leave the place n went to Ngee Ann City... Inside, while moving up on the escalator, i saw a boutique shop at one corner selling Brand B apparel... Juz browsing, and i find the apparel veri youthful-looking clothes...

So, i made up my mind... Calling J tat i will delay my present for her... And i went straight to another Brand B shop at Ngee Ann City... The sales assistant inside is very polite... And i make a voucher reservation wif her straight away, and will be collecting on Monday...

I dun buy Brand CH & Brand D stuffs for plp, coz i anti them as gay brand... Yikes...

So, on Monday, i went back to the store, before coming into office... I find back the same assistant... As usuall, she is veri polite again... When i reaching into tat store... She was entertaining another customer, which she ask mi to look around first... She will come back to mi later... Maybe due to such conversation done, the other sales assistants inside the store, noes tat i am booked by her, so they shouldn't come to mi to snatch her sales deal... So i tour inside the store without anyone come disturbing mi... I walk into the men's department... I saw one long sleeve red shirt, which i find the color is veri attracting n nice... The cloth texture is somehow like fur-bie... I like it veri much, but i dare not to dig out tat price, coz i find it veri embarrassing, and i am actually not buying at all... So i put it back to where it was... Den i saw another veri plaining looking shirt on their display table... It has its price tag taggling out, and i managed to see the price... $270... WAH!!! $270 for such a normal shirt... Meaning the red shirt tat i select n like previously, may cost even more... Wah sei...

Regardless... I collected my voucher after tat and make my way to office... Meeting up wif J later in the morning... (If she) Fly me aeroplane and she will be dead... I will eat tat voucher into my stomach be4 killing her... Haha...

Huh! Wat is Brand B...??? Baleno lah...
Huh! Wat is Brand G...??? Giordano lah...
Huh! Wat is Brand P...??? Hmmm... Is Pink dolphin... Haha...

Ups & Downs In My Mood...

Ooops...

Looks like i'm becoming a spoilt brat recently, for not updating my blog for so long liao... Haha...

Recently, i can't deny the fact tat my company is becoming veri veri veri busy... So busy tat i dun hve the relaxation time to update entries in my blog...

Juz when i tot, my next following week, after tat replacement week, shoul be a easy week, it turn out to be busy as well... The HDB tender, which should be due on last Monday, and i tot tat tender should dies off easily, ended up kana postponed, n i need to help do it... It is a rather brain-cracking job, which requires a lot of my brain powers... Tat is why i got rather frustrated, when i heard tis job's due date is postponed...

To make my mood worse... My partner had tendered his resignation letter already, and he will be leaving by the end of tis month... Sad to see him leaving... I tok abt his plans after his leave, which i personally tink it as a great risk for himself... Anyway, if he like it, den juz do all the best he can lor...

Friday, WS is not ard, and Laura used a "Memo" from Boss to request mi to come in the morning... Tat is a "Memo" which i suspect it as fake... Firstly, i never get to see tat "Memo" be4, next she mention abt taking cab back home at the night, and passing the cab recipt to her to do the claiming... Something smell fishy here... Coz all taxi recipts should be passed to GM directly, which she will den filed in the recipts in the claim folder, rather den passing it to Laura... Tat is why the whole "Memo" stuff, i find it fishy... I dun mind, plp ask mi to help them when they need help... I juz imply dun like the idea if Laura used the name of Boss to "instruct" mi to come in the morning shift, coz by doing tat, i will not hve enf sleep for the day...

On last Friday, Boss tok to mi abt his decision of switching mi to the day shift and i agreed... And Boss agreed to Ken's proposal of purchasing two more iMac G5 into ur department, which one shall be for mi den... Hoohoo... Boss will hired another person to replace mi for the night shift soon... So i foresee i should be switching to the night shift no later den November... Hohoo...

Boss revealled his actions to us, tat he had purchased two more printers, and they r coming in veri soon liao... Boss is now tinking of expanding his company liao... More ability to produce resource, means need more plp to used the resource... Kervin idiot is interviewing new gals tis evening... Poor gal if she is the one tat will kana into his team...

On Sat afternoon... Went to V Tea Room wif my Sec frenz, J & HM... A classy tea room at Esplanade, when had the atmosphere of 16th 17th century of England... The texts displayed on the menu book, is so scribbling tat i can hardly read them... For some of the menu items, they dun hve the pricing on them, which leave mi in suspend of how much, when i ordered my drinks and cake... The main specialty of tis tea room, is their "Melt Cakes"... Yes, it is a veri impressive "CAKE"... You need to pre-order tis cake if u wan to enjoy it... They comes in many favours... Now is a pre-launch promotion, so for everyday, they had some prepared "Melt Cakes" in store, which allowed walk-in customer to order... But during and after the main launch of their promotion in October, you will need to call-in to pre-order the "Melt Cakes" if u wan to try it... The Melt Cake tat i tried on last Saturday, is Chocolate Durian Melt Cake... It has a strong frangrance of chocolate & durian when the plate was served... The center part of the cake, looks so melting and tempting, and it is simply delicious... I mus say tat is indeed a unique cake tat one should go and try... When ordering for tat cake, i do not noe the cost of it... And guess how much is tat cake...??? Haha... $19.50... Quite a bit of expensive... But tat is quite a nice experience of trying...

Saturday is a pleasant day, except for the fact tat i am kana called by to office at 6:15pm urgently to do a urgent job... At tat time, i'm at Orchard, supposed to meet up wif my frenz... Haha... Sianz... Back in company, the doing for tat urgent job is fast, and i need to take bus back to Orchard... Ended up, i tok the wrong bus, switch bus half way, and by the time i reached back Orchard, it's 8:35pm liao... Sianz... Wat a stupid mi to take the wrong bus...

On tis Monday, i'm veri veri angry... The HDB Xmas tender, which suppose to die off finally, kana drag by the Sales person to postpone one MORE day... And boss wants "Bastard" to do it, which directly means hving mi to do the follow-up when i arrives...

Tis job, was initially sub-out to a freelance designer to do it, coz for the past two weeks, ur department is really veri busy wif many jobs... Tat is basically one of the busiest week tat we can hve for the year... So we got no designer to do for tat tender... So Boss instructed to find some freelance designer to do for tat tender... Due to tis bad move, many consequences appeared... Tat lousy designer keep on coming wif lousy designs, which is so aweful, and in reality can't be done at all... Yet he still tink his designs is innovative and fantastic, and hang himself up to ask for price negotiations wif my company... He is really an asshole... For tat kind of so effortless designs, he want to cheat $320 from my company, based on ur initial terms & conditions... Eat shit and die... Due to his lousy designs, we really can't accept tat, and when the due date for the tender is drawing near... Boss wants us to do tat tender at the veri last minute... Quite frustrating...

I urged the Sales person on Sunday to simply tell Boss to drop tat tender, coz it is making everyone feeling so frustrating... Yet when i arrive on Monday, i still see tat tender on-going doing, and she came to tell mi, tat they drag the submitting time to the next day... My face got black immediately, and dun feel like toking to her at all... I'm so angry so angry tat i send a message to the Zoo designer, to ask her to feel free looking for mi, if they hve a job vacany in their department... I got so angry at tat time tat i feel like resigning wif my partner as well... Mark my words, if the Zoo get back to mi sooner or later, and the terms and conditions tat they offered to mi is attracting, i will without hesitation, quitting my current job...

One Whole Hectic Week...

To begin, i gave my condolences to one of my colleagues first...

How hectic can my week be...???

2-5 hours per day...
Running here & there, looking n searching for items...
I need to run, yet i still need to double up my time, to do priority stuffs during office hours...
Wake up in the middle of the night, to pick up calls...
Basically, my life gone upside down...

On last sunday, i went back company, to do my tender stuffs... I still hve many untouch parts which i hope to complete it... And tis return, prove to be a veri bad caught...

My company is doing the IMF job for Changi, to welcome plp from all other countries to visit our island... So tis is a huge job... It is so huge tat it is so cockup... The whole production is like one whole mess, n since i'm the onli graphics ard, thet kept asking mi wif questions wif i dun even noe wat r they... Due to tat, i hve to call tis n tat, to ask for instructions... As a result, i unintentionally let my Head Of Sales to noe tat i'm in office... Thus, i became her "middle man" to oversee everything, to ensure tat wat she need tonight, is all done, so as they r able to produce n install in the night... A lot of to-and-fro communication is done... The whole of tis grand job is not even done by mi... It is initially in charge by my department senior designer... During tis busy week, he should be the one, doing tis "middle man" job... Coz he had been doing tis job since the start... So he is the better choice to be tis "middle man"... However, his brother in Malaysia, had an accident and passed away... Thus he need to quickly return home... Having him leaving at such a crucial time, my Head Of Sales is like totally lost... And Boss wants mi to come temporary for one week to the morning shift to take over the senior designer's job... And tis is where my heavy hectic week starts...

IMF@Changi is so confusing... And still i need to help Head Of Sales to clear my job's artwork... Basically, tis is her (Extreme) high peak period week, which there's a lot of things tat need to be going out... She had almoz 600 banners need to go out... And i had to follow up and help her to do many stuffs... OMG...

To make the life worse... The communication between "Key personnels" in tis IMF@ Changi job, is so poor... There is so many miscommunication problems, which installer kept on insisting tat they dun hve something, need to go for reprint, yet i'm so certain tat i printed it and labelled it wif numbers n my sigature...

Wat makes mi so angry is the so-called Prod Manager, which is like a useless bum to my eyes, in tis week... The job of finding stuffs in ur department, should be ur job, not my job... Yet i ended up doing tat... And tis asshole juz everytime make his disappearance... Angry...

On Thursday nitz, i even stay until 2:30 am to wait for the installer to come back company again to take the stuffs... I make every sure, they take the necessary stuffs.. And explained to them, why those items r needed... I searched the items, put them in places tat i noe... Ensuring they dun miss out any items tat they didn't collect... Yet, i still hear missing items on Friday...

Leaving company at 2:30am, reaching home at 3:00am, sleep at 3:30am... Yet my mobile still rings after tat... I noe tis is a big n complicated job... So i tell them, if they got any problem, or doubt any missing items, pls call mi regardless i'm sleeping or not... And i told my Mom to call mi, if she hear my mobile rings...

On Friday, is really the last day... We had no more allowances or excuses to give to the client for any lateness... And tat's why tis time, i labelled every items wif numbers, which r arrnge based on a revised list... A lot of monitoring is done... Yet i still hve many jobs, regardless changes saved jpeg, printing proof, color-matching, printing actual and visuals... All i muz do it in the place for my tis senior designer...

My head is like suddenly cramped wif so many things tat i had to cope it wif out of sudden... And one mistake occur, yet i fail to realised it until Friday... Oops... I done a wrong bleed file and send for printing... And i printed 1XX number of banners, which when i realised it, i almoz fainted... Regardless, i still report to the Head Of Sales, and the only solution tat we can do at tat time, is to reprint the 1XX number of banners ASAP... Tis is a veri fatal mistake, which can make my whole day mood collapsing... My afternoon mood is like way too low... Yet, when back to work, i still function well, coz i noe Friday is reali the last day n last chance liao...

On Sat, Head Of Sales highlighted my mistakes to Boss, and Boss noe it... He went to production there to check for the wrongly bleeded banners... Den he returned back office, walk pass by mi, and say, make tis as a lesson... Den i "Orrr...", leaving myself a little suspend, whether is he going to deduct my pay or not...??? However, i'm a rather quick forgotten person, so i forget abt tis veri soon, n engage in my work to get the things done asap...

In afternoon, during one of my conversation wif Head Of Sales, she says she been wanting to thank mi for my cooperation wif her and fast picking up wif her pace for tis week... Her tis week is like a war week, and her personal designer happened to be away for family matters... And she is like veri lost... She said if it is another person helping her for tat week (Je*e*y)... She might hve gone crazy... ... I remember her telling mi the word appreciation for more den three times in tat conversation... Den she mentioned abt the mistakes tat i done for tat 1XX banners, which cost Boss almoz $2XXX... But Boss says he will absorb the cost for himself for tat losses... I immediately tink of "OMG.." followed quickly by "Heng"... Tis is the second time tat Boss didn't ask mi to pay for my mistakes liao... :P Next Head Of Sales asked mi abt if i'm satisfied wif working night, and will like to switch to day shift anot...??? She oso mention abt if i will like to be a in-charge person... I gave her a veri neutral answer... She said Boss is going to revamp my department soon... YES! For those tat do not noe yet... My used-to-be Manager, is no longer my department Manager liao...

Wat i done for tis week... I dun tink i'm the person tat do things for the purposes of asking benefits... I'm juz the kind of person, tat dun like to shear away responsibilty to others, to sabo plp to do dirty job, when i should be the better person to do the follow up...

I tot i can rest quietly tmr at home, yet lanlan, still need to go down wif one of my Sales colleagues to some place for "so-called" recee... And perhaps i need to drop back office to do one actual sending oso... Haiz...

Tired & shag, and i hope my For Leaves will help mi...
