I don’t remember being

so stressed since dunnoe when. Dreamweaver drove me absolutely nuts, so much so that i broke down for a while last night. It’s just disgusting. I’m done with the website for now, it’s far from perfect, but i really can’t be bothered with it anymore.

First paper in 4 days’ time and i only spend like a day studying for my second, which is in 5 days’ time. Still have got the art package, printer specs and dummies to do up.

I don’t even feel tired when it hits 4am nowadays. I’m not tired, but i want to go to bed.

It’s not fun testing your limits.

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now

Lots of birthday up recently. All the october babies. Two more this week.

Li’s 21st ! Glad it went well for her. Except for the smoke, ah-hem some photos and the attempted BREAK IN by a crazy guy. Called up the security and all but luckily nothing happened.

Bad things aside, ‘was quite nice to have icy cold red wine with chocolate cake on the bed in the aircon room. Talk about enjoyment, heh. Chatted, youtube-ed, and finally drifted off to sleep at 5am in the morning in the filthy room.

Was pretty tired after getting home the next day so i FELL ASLP again. Tsk. woke up to chongqing steamboat with my parents ! Yumyum. First time i’m not eating with the girls haha.

I travelled the FURTHEST i have ever for a project meeting. BB to PUNGGOL. craziness. Spent a whole day at friend’s house alternating between photoshop and illustrator. Gah. Sweet torture. Fun but stress.

Met H for dinner after and chilled out over swensens. Was a great gossip session lols. Ok and some serious talk. Can’t help but feel young and naive when we talk sometimes. I think he thought i was emo-ing on the way back becos the topic of The Ex came up. But i was just switching off, as usual.

So he drove, and i stared into space, talking occasionally. I wonder if we’ll still chill out like that after he graduate.

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?

Just for a while

Tonight, i think i can finally choose to sleep early. After spending the last 2 nights fervently designing for my assignments, i realised how nothing seems to work out when you don’t have a clear idea in mind. But when you do, everything automatically falls in place. And this, can take ONE whole freaking day.

Don’t get me wrong, i’m not complaining. It’s just that although i love the work, it torments me to no end sometimes. Love-hate relationship, but — mostly love i think. Although my design pieces are far from perfect, although they are amateurish/common/conventional, i take pride in them.

It’s especially hard when you spend so much time and effort on a design, just to have people react negatively to it. Either they don’t understand it/don’t like it or just think it’s weird. Well, i mean who doesn’t wish to receive affirmation for their art piece ? But then of course, negative comments are more often than not, the more useful ones. Cos they push you to improve, and better your design.

I appreciate all comments because that means people actually take time to look at your work, evaluate it and give you their take on it. Comments are valuable and i don’t think you’ll get them much in the working world. I guess nobody will have time for anybody and it’s either used or discarded like trash in the bin.

Aaahh before i go further (and it is getting rather monotonous), i shall move on to something more interesting.

There were celebration of two 21st last week ! One of E’s at this chinese restaurant which serves quite yummy “home-cooked” food on wed. It was quite a simple affair and well i guess it didn’t help that there are always people who agrees AND THEN choose to pangseh at the last minute becos of funny(read: crap) reasons. Seriously, why agree in the first place then ? If this is too insignificant to fit into your busy schedule then just forget it. I don’t like this, not a bit. But we did have a good laugh over dinner, mainly due to my ever-cheerful and animated dar dar haha.

Liqi’s birthday party on sat…was like a mini HK ppl gathering. Her hair was done really beautifully that day, love those bouncy curls ! And as usual, the host was busy entertaining different group of friends so we pretty much entertained ourselves. Had to fly off to meet J for House Bunny after the birthday girl blew out the candles on the cake and took group photos. J better appreciate it haha. What can i say about the movie ? Very typical dumb blonde stereotype lar, but some parts are really funny. So it was not bad on the overall.

Anyway, 8am class tomorrow ! And i gotta make up for lost sleep, so it’s off to bed now. Tata !
