A little Update in July '08

ok i guess since there's not much topic to talk about, maybe i'll just update about my life.

so far work is good. no more cockups and mistakes, though mistakes still happen but much much less. well i believe i get the hang of my work already.
my sis graduated from the local uni finally. she's stuck with NIE, now doing temporary teaching at a secondary school in bt panjang.
my bro still busy with music, video making, motor learning and Dota, which he thinks that playing Dota can get bored easily, so we can't play too much.

my sis told me about one of her experience during teaching. she shouted in front of the class for the first time. well yeah, the kids were stunned and the whole class went quiet. but after a while they started to get noisy again. she told me that teachers must shout cos thats the only way for the class to be attentive to the teachers. good thing my sis can really shout when she's angry. cos she always did that with my grandma.

at work, sometimes after work, i will stay back and play around with the TJet Blazer Express, the printer that prints on tshirts. so i play around with a number of designs in the internet and just print it to some shirts that's unused.
oh you know what, even though i'm a graphic designer (artist hehe) i also do admin stuffs like faxing, purchasing orders, filling in the work order forms, filing, scanning etc. then i realise that i waste alot of my time doing those stuffs that i do not have time to do my art works. no wonder i'm slow. but at least i've solved the problem a bit by being systematic. i realise the office is not really that systematic enough, so i made my own style, so that it'll be easy to remember what to do first and what to do last. example, before i want to do an artwork, i'll make sure that i ask for the shirt sizes so that i can order the shirts first. after that, i'll take the work order and fill in all the necessary stuffs like how many colours the design will be using, the type of shirts, the customer's email and contacts. after that, then i'll sit down on my computer, get ready with my tea, cos i'll be in the computer at least an hour or 2, sometimes 3, to do the artwork. after i'm done, i'll send the artwork via jpeg to the customer's email and just wait for their approval to start the printing.

i made contact with someone i know. she's a friend of mine, used to be more than friends. she's still the same as last time, but more matured. i like her talking about investment and money growing stuffs. and she likes stock market but do not have money in them. hope we can go out more cos i would like to know her more, unlike last time, where i was too busy with my malay culture stuffs during school days that i don't care about her. i was a naughty boy, but that was last time.

congrats to indra nila kirana (my most favourite subgroup in andayu) for winning the fiestari 08! weird is, i never heard of it during my time in andayu, until now! long time never read berita harian ah, thats why.

oh, today marks one year of service with Singprint. may the boss bless me with higher salary! ole!

ok selamat.
