technologies

"I had this guy leave me a voicemail at work, so I called him at home, and then he emailed me to my BlackBerry, and so I texted to his cell, and now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies."
mary, from he's just not that into you.

this might be a helpful read on how to pull all these things together.

the price of my medical fee

not that i am more hard working nowadays but i had been doing more and more lifestyle magazines, which requires me to path out like hundreds over products ranging from perfumes, heels, dresses, models and the list goes on. that resulted with what they call a mouse elbow. basically my whole right hand could not move and it hurts when i try to even click the mouse. inflammation on my elbow onwards.

that is the end of my career.

so i decided to rest as adviced. thankfully, i dont have much work this week so im declaring a week off because im freaking out and not ready to lose my right hand.

so i started thinking what alternative i have. instead of seeing a doctor, i got myself this. not the best in the market but i guessed enough for a beginner. yessss white to match my macbook. vanity :)


here is my first piece. of course so much more can be done, in fact most ppl can do this with their mouse but somehow i cant cordinate my right hand to do this kind of simple things.


just in case you wonder how this help since my hand is still injured. im a left handed, so i can now utilise my left hand. dont ask me how come i can use the mouse with my right hand. i cant remember how i started off with that. but basically now i can spread the work between the two hands. 'bamboo' on my left and 'apple' on my right. take your time to recover while i practice using my bamboo pen.

most satisfied medical fee i ever paid. happy.

new game on the board

the last few days i got hooked with a new family board game, blokus. it is so fun, that i played the online version while everyone is fast asleep. ok, im doing my last game before i hit the bed. i have a very important task tomorrow morning, to be my cute little twins babysitter. it seems to me, babysitter can change the world. yes carrie from oth makes me think so. hopefully this hot babysitter will not do anything to harm my perfect family because i really like her, for now :)

so tomorrow will be a day to test if i will be a hot mama in the near future... juggling between work, babies and preparing for hot magazine party.

4 mins 53 seconds

i had finally master the game.

of course thanks to my sifu, my 15 years old sister, whose time is still unbeatable for now. 2 mins 10 seconds.

im more than glad having able to fulfill this childhood fantasy of completing it. i never thought it is possible.

i'd rather

by Luther Vandross

I thought sometime alone
was what we really needed
you said this time would hurt more than it helps
but I couldn't see that
I thought it was the end
of a beautiful story
and so I left the one I loved at home to be alone (alone)
and I tried to find
out if this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart

Chorus:

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah

And then I met someone
and thought she could replace you
we got a long just fine
we wasted time because she was not you
we had a lot of fun
though we knew we were faking
love was not impressed with our connection they were all lies, all lies
so I'm here cause I found this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart

(Repeat Chorus)

I can't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you
I can only prove the things I say with time
please be mine,

I'd rather have bad times with (please be mine) you
than good times with someone else (I know)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm (anytime)
than safe and warm by myself (so sure baby)
I'd rather have hard times together
than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart (my heart)

I'd rather have bad times with you (surely)
than good times with someone else (surely)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm (oh yeah)
than safe and warm by myself (all by myself)
I'd rather have hard times together
than to have it easy apart (you know it)
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoooo... who holds my heart

taken from yinhuan's blog

raw as i am

i am really proud of myself. i have never learn html in college. i remember i told myself i won't take multimedia, i am so web programme idiot. so i stick with things that don't move, prints and publishing.

i wanted to change the design for my blog for a long while. i mean i am a designer you know. this finally triggers me to do so.

btw if you do not know yet, i just like this style. you will see it in a lot of my work. first discover it when i was doing ish. realised that i find it really really fun when i was doing the Love to Recycle issue.

from there after i could not stop using it for cd albums design and on publications. eventhough the same style i try to bring variation to each different client.

i called it the raw style. maybe it is because i was trying to make my mundane life more fun when i start seeing the aethetic beauty in these things we see daily. extremely enjoy the part putting all kind of things-cans, boxes, wood-on my scanner. or maybe it is because i hope that people will see the same beauty in me for trying to be myself. raw as i am - insecure and honest of how i feel.

these are jobs i do without redoing. honestly it is those once-seen-approved kind of work. i can finally say art is the inner expression of the artist.

so ppl do read this thing

given that people don't normally leave a message on my tagboard i was just thinking the other day that maybe ppl don't really read this blog. but then again while i was visiting their blogs i found out that they do read my blog. now i am happy and i shall continue blabbing.

these are what i meant:
1. 10 things i hate about you by robin
2. tomorrow will never be the same by yanlin
3. emotions are not control by reasoning by jon ng*
*he doesn't has a blog but i believe if he does it will be on his blog :)

on the other hand, i am feeling what she is feeling about work.

keep talking to me, it keeps me going. and you there keep blogging i am reading.
