:: Ratatouille ::

yay caught the movie Ratatouille finally!~ at amk hub. first time there, dun even know where's the cinema keke. common sense tells me it's at the top level. =P i was late for work that day. super suay. the day before i was very angry with my colleagues ma. whole night angry. probably tt's y i couldn't wake up. but that means i had to stay back at work to make up for the time i was late. suay because this just so happens when my boss is in. the past few days he wasn't in i was early okay! and i was angry for the times i was early and my colleagues were late yet they leave at 6pm on the dot. i know it's not right for me to get pissed over this, esp when i'm not guiltless regarding this, but...

oh ya y i brought up the part abt me being late was, i stayed back in office till late lor. i knew i won't be able to make it for the 6.50pm show, and i sorta gave up the idea of watching movie yday, but last minute i felt gian again. watched part of the making of the movie, and i feel that the music and sound effects are the reason this movie must be watched in cinemas and not at home. and if i miss watching it before thurs.. the ticket is gonna cost more (hehez) and next monday there might not be anymore screening. it's running out!! managed to catch it at the very last minute. show was at 7.50pm, i only reached AMK like, 7.45pm! haha!

ya anyway movie is good. it's funny. i love the music. but somehow the story... every scene makes me expect something... ...something better than i get. hmm. dunno if u know what i mean.

i DON'T recommend watching movies at AMK hub. dunno if it's only theatre 3... the seats are damn narrow! there wasn't space for my arms. i had to share arm-rest space with the people beside me somemore.

by the way.. ATB is in Singapore! going to perform in MOS tmr night! but... cover charge for ladies is $25.. though i may be commanding an income, money shouldn't be spent this way. haiz. i think i will just listen to his cds at home ba.

:: Counter Strike ::

haha forgot to mention 2nd sept sunday i went to play CS with my cell grp.

MY FIRST TIME!! haha

at first very reluctant to go one. we were having lunch at Golden Mile food centre and it's at Beach Rd... they actually wanted to go all the way to Bukit Timah to play CS! that's like cambodia from here. if they were going Parklane or what still okay la. grrr *complain.. complain.. complain*

okay la, had fun haha.. i die very fast. macam my mission is just to get rid of opposite team so that my team members - the more pro ones - can complete their mission of rescuing hostages etc. haha

after playing i had a very bad headache. lan games are harmful to the eyes.

:: sept week 1 ::

yeah i was saying i feel my boss is piling work on me. I have ...currently, 9 projects on hand. including 5 major website revamps and creations. can u beat that? i am so prepared to do OT this week.

4th tue - went to Mount Faber to meet a client. wooo shiok.. nice place to work in actually. just errr.. a bit hard to get there. i feel like switching to the tourism industry... the meeting was a bit long, but i met a fellow 21-yr-old poly grad working there. =) honestly i'm not very confident of my ability to do the work i promised. but i must do my best to prove myself. i wanna be a good designer!!! *sobz..* there goes my freedom...
client offered me a cable car ride to Harbourfront. ooohhh shiok! shld have brought my camera. later i try upload another pic thru my phone.
bought donuts from Vivocity - it was lunch time okay? went to Standard Chartered to query abt my debit card, found out it wasn't sent out... then took train back to office. bought bubble tea along the way. i feel deprived of: 1) bubble tea, 2) avocado juice at my new workplace lor. =(
after work i went to church for prayer meeting. so long nv go for prayer meeting, i was actually wondering to go or not. During prayer meeting, ...beating around the Bush has just got another meaning for Americans. haha.. prayed for many groups of pple and got updates of other congregations and extensions of COR.
then went for supper with some m'kk pple. i felt hungry halfway during prayer meeting actually, but couldn't find a good time to go out and eat my green tea muffin. more like green bean muffin la. yucks. can't drink tea at night, so i ordered hot milo instead.

5th wed - OT everyday this week, and next week. plan already. dun ask me out.
had fish slice bee hoon at my office downstairs. paid FREAKING $5 for it! i will never eat that again.

6th thur - meeting with 2 clients. stress level went up.
received reply from the police regarding the "scam" i got myself into last week. turns out it was a scam after all. check out www.cad.gov.sg for similar scams like that.
received my debit card finally! instruction given was to sign on the back of the card immediately, but.. erm.. sign where?
reminded myself to pack bag for Psalmist retreat.

7th fri - today a bit not here. slept early last night but felt very sleepy today. tried to spread out my workload, but i can't seem to think and design anything today. on weekend mode already.
Check out today's Electric New Paper. There were a few reports on the similar scam too.
Psalmist Retreat!

:: What does it mean to be a (web) designer? ::

What does it mean to be a (web) designer?

1. Be prepared to stay late at work.
2. Expect crap from (some) clients.
3. Criticise every advertisement you see on the streets.
4. HTML is in your blood.
5. Surf the internet for inspiration. Yeah, just like game designers play games for ideas.

uh so far can only think of 5. still trying to live up to be a web designer.

Keyboard spoil..... can't type C normally. gotta press very hard each time. :(

can't rem which day this week, i forgot to switch off the aircon after work. my dad fetched me all the way back after dinner just to switch it off. >.<
the next day i told my boss, he stuck the aircon control to the door. (our old office aircon controller was literally next to the door so i wouldn't forget.)

18/8 Sat - supposed to be in Tj Balai this weekend. but i have so much work over the week that i couldn't set aside time to plan for the trip. somemore my mom nagged abt the S.Koreans being kidnapped because they were doing missionary work. no peace to go.

20/8 Mon - after hearing from Aloysius abt the high interest rates of Standard Chartered bank e$avers account, i felt very gian to find out more. ended up opening 2 accounts on the spot in Vivocity. haha..

21/8 Tue - Our namecard printer, Ben came after lunch. He emailed me tt the namecards would only be ready tmr, so he's early. he's... cute. *blushes*

25/8 Sat - went to Judy's bday celebration after setting up for projection. so hard to find sia the place. got a lift from Janice's bf. she brought along her dog, so cute. So happy to meet up with YEP friends finally. but not everyone turned up. awww... miss u, OLC and jiewei! haha. still feel tt this bunch of friends are the best. though one of us.. *ahem* ...is not very likeable, everyone still include *ahem* in conversations.
dunno y i dun really feel that in cell grp.

29/8 Wed - Brokest day of the year. i'm left with $17 in my bank, can't withdraw a cent. because i had transferred money to one of my new bank accounts and i haven't got my pay.
received a call from a china woman, asking me to go down for a roadshow. can't really understand her as she babbles away.

30/8 Thu - meeting with another client, Siloso Beach Resort. first time inside the hotel :D nice place. i wanted to celebrate my bday there, but couldn't think of who to invite to stay with me. judy and weiting also couldn't confirm they're free. anyways.
fell into the trap of financial greed. as i look back now, it was because yday i couldn't even withdraw money that kind of brokeness, that kind of vulnerability that caused me to fall.
today another china woman called. told me to check her company website, details for authenticity. i actually gave this unknown caller my IC number and bank account number (the one with no money though.) because she told me i have won S$200,000. stupid me.
during lunch she called again, saying i have to pay tax first. this made me start to doubt.
so after lunch i emailed the police for advice. hope i didn't give away too much confidential info.
felt so distracted from work because of this.
those of u who read this pls learn from my mistake and don't let it happen to urself.
but thank God nothing has happened yet.
went home and repented.

oh i went to watch Bourne Ultimatum with Diana at PS after work. it's very cool, the way they all trick each other. haha. think it's good. at least i understand it. haha.. it's not as confusing as the first 2 in the series.

31/8 Fri - meeting with a new client. guy's a swimmer. hot bod. :P
i feel like my boss is piling work on me.
