31/12/2012


时间似快非快
似慢非慢
来到了2012年的最后一天

对我来说
2012算是不错的一年
因为认识了不同的人
去体验一些未曾体验的事与物

还误打误撞地
来到这新公司上班
真的很不一样


觉得可惜的是
我还是一个人
错过很多想一起分享的时刻


年龄也随着增加
又一年又大一岁了
可是感觉自己还是没长大


不过还是会好好的
去迎接、去面对、去经历
接下来这新的一年
还有珍惜现在
才是最重要


长话短说
就在这里祝大家
Happy New Year!!
我们明年见

向日葵



突然回想起我还在College的时候看的一部日剧
《零秒出手》
它是从漫画改编拍成一部连续剧
故事中讲述一位喜欢向日葵的女主角
如何为她想要成为著名小提琴家的目标努力
还有热爱篮球的男主角为他的梦想奋斗


过程当中当然少不了挫折
不过因为双方都有对方的支持跟鼓励
最后就算梦想还没有实现
但是他们还是永不放弃
女主角曾说
“就算我成了老太婆,也还会拉奏她小提琴。”


虽然故事发展都是预料之内
不过还是值得一看


"Love makes me strong"


这音乐的节奏有高低起伏
最后还以一点点的温馨作为结尾
听起来挺令人陶醉


不管你是谁
朋友还是熟悉的陌生人
只要你有坚决的目标与梦想
You Always Have My Support
=)

想你的同时
还抑制着对你的思念
那份感情
。。。

Merry Christmas



erm... actually this is out of my expectation ><
but here it is... 

smile, cheer, joy, love
the gifts for you and me
~Merry Christmas~

(feel like children's work)

something different


i was impressed by the latest maxis4G advertisement
it creates a great impact visual for me
and it inspires me the way of using line or strip
to make the design extraordinary






so i just simply make 1 and of course mine
is far far far away to compare with the professional work
but just enjoy and exploring in new way


suddenly just recall my memory of the song
"start of something new"
from High School Musical
yea~




"That anything can happen
when you take a chance"

So, don't stop trying and go wild with it
it could be different and something new

圣诞节越来越接近了
好想跟朋友们一起聚餐
来个圣诞晚宴之类的
就是很喜欢当大家在一起的气氛

......
不过就只能是期待
而期待也不能太大
往往都不能实现嘛...




这一天

今天早上趁还没下雨
就去了Time Square跟Lowyat Plaza
其实也不是很喜欢周末去人多的地方
只不过是为了买送给同事的圣诞礼物
所以就去逛了下
顺便看下我想要的电话是否出售了

在经过一番“搜查”后
就看中了牛仔帽跟手表
最后选择了手表
毕竟可以时常带在身上
比较有用

之后就步行到lowyat
就经过了那个天桥
对,就是那个天桥
天桥的那幅墙
有她的名字
而且是大大个的
突然替她觉得很光荣 =)
我想我公司的大客户maxis可没那么大方吧




差不多走遍了整个lowyat plaza
柜台上都没见到我想要的电话
每个人都在为samsung推销电话
有点失望
因为听说那个电话会在本月13号登陆大马
结果问了店员说还得等多2个星期

就这样
带着买好的礼物
解决了午餐后就回家了




Scream if you wanna go faster
看到这个觉得
如果是真的该有多好呢

微电影——micro film

偶尔会点进youtube
看看有什么吸引我的短片
看到了这个就觉得好奇
就随意点来看了


看完后
就如短片的题目一样惊叹也有点好笑呢
惊叹除了那个避孕套就是那位男生了
在想原来还有那类型的男生会默默的付出
好笑的是那位女生的表态
不过算是不错的故事发展
虽然到头来觉得是个广告


以后或许会多留意下微电影
感觉不复杂,又很轻快地带出重点
当然少不了很会配合气氛的音乐
整体看来配搭得很好
=)




不说出口
有些事是不知道的





康复中...

这个星期不小心生病了
算是轻微发烧跟感冒吧
都怪最近这里的天气
总是爱下雨
也怪我没照顾好自己
不过一切都好
在康复中...

这周末就没做设计了
虽然又有了新的东西想尝试下
下周末才展现吧
现在就好好休养中...




2012/12/09

周末闲着没事做
都会做些自己喜欢的东西
=)

纯粹想试不同的方式跟概念
配合上自己半桶水的水准






2012/12/08

我梦见她在哭
醒来后都有在想
那费解的梦
虽然只是梦
梦见不开心的她
也会不好受
没能为她做点什么
。。。


只希望就只是梦

不是真实的梦
愿她一切很好

失格?

失格
F.A.I.L.E.D

我觉得最适合形容我这星期的工作表现
都已经两个月了,却还是不能将失误降低成0
其实也不是失误,算是不完美吧

每当将FA印出来后交给supervisor
结果都会被红笔圈了几处再交回来改
感觉好像小学的时候
自信满满地把功课交上去
结果收功课被老师圈了大大个字重做
虽然FA是不用重做
但每次都被叫改的时候
真的有点不好受

kerning, point size, leading
跟字有关的都是我最头痛的时候
每次都是上面那3个花了我不少时间
确实我之前做design都根本没有去注意
不过不管我做了多少次
有时候就是会看漏眼
结果又被supervisor叫再改

不知道是不是不够用心
还是修改人家的artwork抱着“不是我做的”的心态去做
又或者是我不喜欢做FA吗?

Supervisor又说过我做FA很designer style
有时候就是不明白她所说的
我本来就是designer啊
不过对着她我总是无言
毕竟她是senior,算是我的上司

今天的心情有点失落
不过安静跟清醒以后
决定再次做好我的份内事
要大量大量减少我的失误
直到让supervisor无可挑剔为止
加油吧!









如果你也有失落的时候
试下把手头上的东西放下
再望望四周围,
做你想做的事例如听你想听的歌
好让自己头脑冷静清醒下
可能从中可以找到新的出发点
然后再告诉自己没什么大不了
就继续加油冲刺吧

十二月

十二月
转眼间又是周末
再眨眼下又到了星期一
又是时候回到工作岗位去了

时间对我来说好像过得有点快
不是夜猫子的我,一天就更是短暂
除了工作剩余的时间都过得相当乏味

工作环境太大嘛
大家的界线也划的很清楚
感觉无法像以前一样跟同事们相处融洽
好在大家在工作岗位能够互相配合和沟通
除了工作以外,我觉得大家的时间都花在另一半吧
还有大家都是物以“类”聚
有时候就是觉得没必要跟他们一样
所以我就不跟他们聚在一起了
因为那样会给我感觉怪怪的

好怀念大家都在为同一个目标而努力的时间
有喜怒哀乐,甜酸苦辣咸
好比现在,真的相当乏味呢





由于工作的岗位跟范围
所以就越来越少碰设计了
不好意思,我现在的工作只是在用我懂的skills来finalize artwork(所谓的FA)
虽然都有在用我的知识去完成
不过设计对我来说还是得先从概念开始
是需要花时间去research跟动脑想idea出来的
然后才用自己懂得skills具现化出来

虽然结果还是得看client approve
不过我就是喜欢这过程
会有成就感的感觉
所以有时候我还是会自己在那里玩玩
有点班门弄斧的感觉呢
不过就是在那里自我陶醉







十二月了
又到了一年的最后一个月
对我来说就是Christmas Month
这年的圣诞会是怎样的呢
有点期待又有害怕失望的感觉
不过我还是会盼望着这个月的每一天




给大家的话
很期待下次再见到大家的时候
在那之前
我们好好努力加油过好每一天吧
不管在哪里,在什么时候
都要记得好好照顾自己
还有我都不会轻易把你给忘记
一切顺利

achieve...

it's Saturday with raining morning... soon I will get back to work on Monday and it's about 1 and a half month I being here as a FA Artist...

昨天跟之前的同事约出来吃火锅,也说起大家的近况,当然也少不了我们ex-company的是非,而对于是非我就只有听的份。我们4个离开后,ex-company的变动也很大,2间合拼成1间,人手调动有上有下,我想唯有没有变的是老板们的性格吧。真希望他们跟公司有所改进,也希望下次聚在一起不再是聊他们的是非,因为就是不喜欢说人家的不是。毕竟我不是他们,所以如果有一天当上老板,你也是否会像他们那样呢?不知道,只是想努力做好现在的自己...

I heard one of my friend told us that how busy he was working at current company, 1 person handles few people jobs, monitoring people, feedback customer and coordinate the work flow, so on... Well, this is also what I did last time at the ex-company but he is more multi-multitask than I was, so he is really a tough person, just that he will complaint to us once we gather every time. Compare with him, suddenly I just feel like I was doing nothing at current company but just finalize, adapt, checking artwork. Yes, it's easier job with good paid every month. And this makes me feel tiny compare with him and last time I used to be.

Maybe all because of different size and different field of company. He said today we work not for your professional or interest or talent or skills, but we work for higher paid. If the company can't fulfill or afford your salary, nothing much to discuss, just change the job. Well, what he said is definitely true. No one will request a job with lower or same paid as previous company.

Now, I had did what I planned, enter a advertising agency, some more 4As company. So, it's time for me to prove myself in this large firm, starting from FA Artist.

Thanks for sharing experience together and the dinner. It makes me rethink of what I want to achieve for my career, the current job. 有时候不用想太多,把你想说的,想做的,去实现出来吧,如果你不想失去那机会的话...



朋友,
又是时候说再见,
相信下次会再见面,
只要你有这份想念的话...

new start with a new job

interview, interview and interview
it's about 6 times i get interviewed
and this time I just picked only-advertising agency in my interview list

and all the advertising agencies I interviewed are located in PJ
it's not easy to go PJ for work as you know there is horrible traffic jam every day and night


SYM World http://www.symworld.com.my/
A advertising agency located at PJ SS2 with systematic management
the conditions offered to me is the best ever I met
too bad last minute the HR Department replied me that they will put the recruitment on hold due to some changes in creative team
so I guess I have to find another 1...


Worthy Book http://www.facebook.com/worthybook / http://www.worthybook.my/
A Food Directory magazine with the voucher offered
it's very new magazine company as they were launched 2 years ago
the in-charged person told me that they are thinking design a Ladies Editions for this year and coming year
and showing their cover design to me and asked me to design it with my own style as a test
so here is their current design layout that done by their freelance designer (i guess)



and here's my design layout





Well, after I sent him my design layout and waited up 1 week time only get his reply. His replied saying that his team was impressed but too bad he offered me part time with RM20 per A5 page for just simple layout design. I was very quite disappointed with it, in fact I know the company is small enough that share under with other 2 companies. But, I still replied him agree with it with the conditions that I will only do his job during weekend as I had found a permanent job and still need extra money. (but until now I haven't get his reply so I guess he has found someone else)


Lastly, the job I currently working now is with the international advertising agency, McCann Erickson. (http://mccann.com/)
It totally surprised me when I saw the name of the company before I stepped in the office. I had no idea what company I interviewed with as it's listed as confidential company in jobstreet. Until I saw the name in front of their main door, it recalled my memory about how well known it is from the adsoftheworld website.

Actually I didn't expect that I get the opportunity to work under this big firm as the studio manager told me that my previous working experiences are totally different with what they're doing now. "woah... my 2 years experiences is nothing when comes to advertising company?" this is my first  thought when after he told me that. Unexpectedly, the studio manager called me up asked me to work as contract designer for 1-2 months when I was still busying for next interview.


Thanks for chance given and I get to learn more from different angle. However I still haven't get used to the working environment as it gave me oversea feeling even I had been there for 1 weeks and of course also the tiring traffic jam. Anyway, I will still do my best for the job and hope everything will getting better and better.





still wonder about the quote:
"do what you love,
love what you do "
what I want is just to enjoy it

fresh...aged...

During the time when I was still jobless
my ex-colleagues asked me to help her in a part time job as QC
in a Metrix Research Company located at Menara Dato' Onn (next to PWTC)


Well, this is my first experience become a QC as I still not really clear with what QC's job
as I knew I responsible to observe the whole progress of the interview with the Chinese respondent


From the job, I get to know 3 new friends who are younger than me about 2-3 years old.
and it's really surprise that all of us have the same interest in watching anime
2 of them are girls living in PJ and studying their degree at Sabah
and now it's their sem break so they just take the time to earn extra pocket money
while the other 1 is boy who has finished his Diploma in IT at the same college with me (TARC)


It's really nice to meet 3 of them
and sooner we get along to each other
during the last day of the part time job
we were planing for a steamboat bbq to celebrate our last day
well... they are very talkative and funny that made us the noisiest crowd at the restaurant
just 3 of them


Even the part time is over
we are still keep in touch
and the most memorable moment with them
is the day we all went for sing k
if you knew me... you know that I speak softly all the time
but this time I was shouting with them in the k-box a song and a song
without apprehension and tension


WOAH... 
it's really energetic and feel like being young again when hang around with them
they will make all the jokes or nonsense that you think is funny
although it's just a short time we have together
but I really appreciate it 


thanks friend for teaching me to enjoy how friendship should it be
it's all about having the moment together 
no matter happy or tough
no matter you're young or old
fresh or aged




朋友们。加油

时间在瞬间飞逝到十月...
这个时候,有位朋友决定到英国伦敦深造
这位朋友的决定对我来说有点突然跟出乎预料
虽然之前有些朋友也到英国深造也不过只是3个月
而这次一去就2年

既然已经决定好了
身为朋友当然就送上一切最好的祝福
毕竟这算是给自己的突破
认识更多更多的人与物


虽然大家相处的时间不长
不过她的勇气是我最欣赏的地方
有些地方值得我好好向她学习
所以呢她这次的修学对我来说是很舍不得





希望朋友的修学之旅一切完美美好
我们在这里也会拼命努力
朋友们。加油

lalala~ i just like it my way, who cares?! XD

您准备好了吗

在漫长的生活中......那9小时甚至更长又疲惫的工作,时间久了...你是否回想思考过:“这里真的适合我吗?我又会在这里待多久呢?这里可以使我达到我的理想目标吗?如果要在这里待下去,至少起我薪水嘛......”

这些疑问我都会自己想过,尤其当每次老板要求我学这个,学那个的... 口头上她说为了我好,事实上她不想再花钱请人... 我心想:“每个老板都是这样的吗?以后当了老板,也是会像他们那样吗?”

我是很无奈,但还是会尽我所能去完成它,这么做只是不想浪费大家时间。员工一个个都在抱怨着... 这个月有一个人走,下个月也有一个人走... 这么说,公司真的是那么差吗...

“这间公司系统很乱水... 搞到最后还是要我们去解决...”
“年假也没有...就连公共假期也少过人...”
“不请人就算了...还要做一些超出工作范围的东西”
“很累...再待下去也觉得没意义了...”
怨言都在老板们不在的时候满天飞...

在网上看到一道IQ题,类似这样的:“一本杂志卖2块钱,小明卖了10本,却只得10块钱。为什么?”看起来是很简单的问题,如果懂得算数,或有读account的人来说,答案往往都是“一本杂志成本是1块钱,所以10本的成本就是10块钱,扣除了10块钱成本,那小明就只得10块钱而不是20块钱咯。”如果答案只有这小学程度的话就不会在IQ专栏看到吧...所以答案并非这么简单,更可以说是有点现实呢... 原来小明是打工的,薪水就只有10块钱,不管他卖多少本,依然只得10块钱罢了。

看完这答案后,才发现我还不够了解这社会吧... 试把题目放映在自己身上,才发现原来我也是那个小明,是个打工仔... 会觉得如果你付出多,却收入少,那岂不是亏本吗?老板跟上司有因为你的努力而器重你,珍惜你这个人才吗?要是没有的话,那就不要继续当小明了... 一点也都不值得,没有意思了...

想到这里,我都有在考虑着换一下工作环境... 毕竟这也是我们生活中的小小过程罢了... 该面对的,始终还是要去面对,不要因为小小胆怯,而不敢追求大大的快乐... 所以您准备好了吗?

2012/02/18

啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊...又开始觉得累了...有时候还真的招架不住了...那种感觉很不好受...但还是得硬硬地度过...因为顾虑的东西有不少的...

most of the times, i can't do the best or perfect things without mistake, but i'm always trying my best to reduce the mistake to make things better than before... so i will take the challenges but please understand me i'm the only person... take times... and thank you...

2012/02/05

no holiday next week...

Tomorrow, 6th Feb and the day after tomorrow, 7th Feb should be public holidays... but why... why my company still operate for this 2 days... and that means I got to work while most of them are enjoying 4 straight holidays from Saturday until Tuesday... so great they have holiday again after CNY even that's just 2 days but it means a lot for us... (hahaha... maybe I'm lazy person)

Well, my next holiday is 1st May,  Labour Day... still a bit far from now, right... but nevermind, I will still apply leave in March just for my D5 gathering trip (hopefully it's on)


Erm... I just enjoying the moment when everyone stick back together... the feeling is nice when everyone be together again... just hope to see most of them soon... =)

2012/01/01

“小有小的过,大有大的过,只要知足快乐就好,免苦了自己啊!”

新的一年又来到,当然对我来说新年的第一天也一如往常,也没什很特别的。但唯有这次我想为这一年定下新的目标,难得我找回了自己的方向,所以要好好冲刺咯!

事业总算是有起步了,谢谢“大人物”珍惜,还有给予机会。所以呢,我想在这一年头计划要拥有属于自己的车,至于款式就不要奢侈豪华那种,毕竟自己知道自己赚来的钱是不容易的。有了汽车就要好好理财了,因为大家都知道买车容易,供车难的道理吧。

之后就要更努力用工工作,为下一个房子目标计划下。当然这可不是容易的事,因为呢现在的房子都很贵了,所以要做长途计划下。这应该要等我拥有理想的薪水咯。

现在还是单身的自己,还对感情的事也不完全看透了解,只能告诉自己“随缘吧!”。有些事物就是越想亲近拥有,可能到头来却得不到哦。所以已有感情的人请好好珍惜,可不要错过后悔哦。单身的就先好好享受自由快乐的日子吧!

新的一年,新的目标,新的希望,一个从新开始,加把劲吧!
