New year

I'm still considering if i should spend my New Year in S'pore or in some other places.i'm considering LA or boston for a change.i don't think it would be too late yet.since there is still around 23.5 hours to the new year.so it is still possible.but that is if i can get a flight back by 3rd which sounds a little silly.got there for 2days then come back.yeah i can't stay there for too long.got a chalet from 3-5th jan.and on the 4th got to collect a cheque and maybe a lunch appointment.so crap lah can't even enjoy my chalet to the max.but wat to do i guess i juz got to miss the chalet on the 4th morning and maybe the afternoon.about part 2 of the previous post it will come soon i guess.provided i have the time.its gona be a short post for a change.juz wanted to blog about something.got to get up early tmr for some stupid meeting.crap sia.so got to sleep now.hais...byes...

the whole 2 weeks(part one)

woah it has been more than 2 weeks since i've posted anything.so i think i shall put an end to it today, right now.initially i wanted to do a write up sort of thing about Miss World.indeed i'ce drafted it out but have not posted it yet.but now the whole miss world fever is gone so yeah.also no mood to post it lahs.in short congrats to Miss Russia.the funny thing about this type of beauty peagent is that you and your country spent alot of time and money on this competition but after that when you win not many people will even remember you after that.like who remembered Zhang Zilin from China to be the winner of Miss World 2007???then after one year you pass the crown to the next miss world and maybe you are forgotten forever.sad man.

anyway i wanna say thanks to all the christmas present and wishes that i got from you guys.really appreciated it.i really love what you guys gave me.ok before Christmas I went to NY for some show so didn't really had time to blog.so it came rather as a shock for some of you that i finally changed my mind to go on for the show even though i rejected it a few times before.ok i've been asked many times what is the reason.so i'm gonna tell you now alrights....its mainly a few reason.the listing is in no particular order.i feel that all reasons play an equal an important role in my consideration.(i'm just typing out as i remember)

1)i miss modelling
2)Sabrina's pestering was getting on my nerves and i guess if i dun go she'll bother me to death
3)i've got some personal things to settle with Jessica
4)i wanna spend some time alone by myself away from home
5)the pay
6)i miss my MOD friends and want to catch up with them
7)more exposure
8)giving those execs some face lahs

the reasons should be around there.if i can't think of it now then maybe it is really not important.hahas
when i go there maybe just maybe it was a wrong decision.for some reason i feel that the atmosphere was just not right.the whole feeling was just different compared to the past.the animosity was definetely there and tensions were high at some time.usually on the last night of our whole trip we would just sit around chat, play those real enjoyable stuff and it is the norm not to sleep till the next morning.however this time it was just different and everyone was someway or another behaving differently form the past.after the show on the last night,after the post show party blah blah blaheveryone started to gather in groups and starting talking those highly sensitive stuffs and at some point of time political in nature.that totally blew me away.i could just feel the tention.in the past we also had different groups of people talking but this time the whole feeling was just so different.every group was just whispering maybe gossiping a little and the whole atmosphere was just tense.there wasn't even a shrill that slince through the stillness of the air.the whole suite was deadly silent except for the occasional cheers of glass mugs.in a way i was rather lost.i don't know if i should feel sad,excited, tense, worried or what.neither do i know what had happen before this trip nor i want to know anything.sometimes in such highly political tense situation it is best not to know what happen and not to be involved at all.which might also be one of the reasons why i came back.but i think the situation has improved so yeah we'll see how but this situation might be a stopping block for me in taking on the next show i guess.yeah but at least i went there settle the jessica issue and i'm glad its over.yeah...

so on the scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best.putting everything into consideration including fun time,show exposure,new friendship forged,time spent together with old friends and income eared and incentives ii'll rate this whole maybe a 7.5-8.

ok here's the personal word i've promised Jessica:i know you spent a lot of time trying ways and means to find out what i like, my taste, my style,my likes and dislikes,my love and loathe.trying to reach in for the deeper self.i seriously achknowledge your effort, time and money spent to really like get to me.i opened your present last to really test what you said.at the point of time you were rather right in saying that your present would be the best present that i'll ever received in terms of the physical form.at that point of time i really thought it was true and i mjst admit that i really like it alot.everything you gave me was what i really loved and desire.that was all true until christmas when i came back.my sister gave me a present.and inside it all i see was simplicity and practicality.it made me realise the simplicity in life that i've been missing out sometimes especially when we are in a foreign land doing shows and stuffs.but it can't be helped.we are demanded nth but perfection.everything has to be 100% accurate from the beat we move to the angle we stand to the look we give our poise practically everything.we are expected to give a perfect picture.totally flawless.we are so drum into it that we take that into our lives which it shouldn't be the way.we are missing out an important principle that was said by a top designer:imperfection by itself is perfection.the message that i'm receiving from you is that you are trying to give me a perfect present which you must realise cannot happen.there's is no such thing as a perfect present.in facxt she didn;t even passed the present to me personally how bad can that be.indeed imperfection by itself is perfection.though i must say that your effort spent awes me.from the time planned to the settling of the atmosphere to the differnt type of present given at specific time at a specific place.seriously to me it was perfection.but perfection sometimes become imperfect.though i loved and will treasure every moment of the time spent with you from the start till the the end of that "christmas" you said you want to know whether you gave me the best present then i've got to say sorry u did not give me the best present........sry.at least i prefer what my sister gave me......

sry just can't continue anymore.will continue next.hopefully it w0uld be soon.......

Success

(sighs...)a sigh of relief.finally the whole project is done.the 96 hrs marathon has proved to be a major success.i wanna thank everyone who helped in one way or another.especially all the assistant and graphic designers.i want to thank the company for giving me such an opportunity to let me take on such a major project and entrusting a large part of it in my hands.i believe that it was a calculated risk well taken.so once again thank you.i also want to say a special thanks to all the so called "calefares"(people who help us run all the errants)thanks for helping us buy our meals and esp our much needed caffeine boost.thanks you guys.u all have been a great helprelax your efforts would not go unnoticed.i'll definitely help you guys make it known.so another BIG THANK YOU to all.love you guys man.u guys were like so accomodative and receiving that i really enjoyed my time working with you guys even though it was very tough.if there is another opprotunity hopefully we can work together again.hopefully through this episode we learn much from each other and hopefully u guys can reach greater heights in your next project.for the next project i doubt i would be working with u guys.but relax u guys got the rest alrights...juz stay together and work together you guys would be fine.i'll await for the next design to be churn out and hey if it really make it big.i'll be most honoured to have it on me at next year's season.only time will tell guys.....for now enjoy your holiday cos its gonna be shortlived.i really wished i could spend more time with you guys and understand u guys a little deeper......i guess we will have the chance...i hope we will...

(anyway there has been a request to paragraph my post properly so i shall.hahas.it was really on that post that the paragrphing was crap.other ones are ok lahs.but thanks anyway)

so gonna share a little summary of what happen during the that crucial 96 hours that made us and not broke us.hahas.okay the 1st few days was the almost the same in terms of routine.we were all damn freaking tired.seriously i juz collapse in the chair everytime i get to go.OMG.seriously it was pain that i can't soothe at that point of time.as expected we really work till we collapse .hahas.it was a fun experience though.abt the intricate part of the process is deemed as confidential so can't spill the beans.so on day4 where everyone though was on the brink of collapsing we had to "chiong"and some big shot director juz popped in.it was like so totally unexpected.so obviously we got to go home later then planned though it was rather expected.it juz for some reason always happens.so after that clinched the deal got all those formalities done and blah blah blah.so finally got to go home for a proper rest.some ppl ask me how tiring can designing be??for these 4 days i lost 3kg.even though we were still eating rather normally and those drinks were like laden with milk and sugar.for normal pl that would have gain like uncountable amt of weight but for me(at least my weight dropped)it was that bad okays...

so friday had a break.went out lors.what else.even not working i received so many phone calls.juz in case u guys were wondering y i didn't pick up your calls??u guys got to understand what is a break kays...obviously i won't received ur calls man.break=no job related stuff or what so eva.i dun even care if its some Milan or NY offer.on this part at least Sabrina u are smart enough not to contact me.hahas.sry can't go out with so many people today.sry got to reject a few of u guys that asked me out.sry man...can't help it.maybe some other time i guess.quote Randy:" I dun know man.I dun know I dun know.I like it but i don't think I love it"(there is some missing link here which would remain as a missing link probably for life)

so on the way home on the bus i meet a long time friend.hahas.very long did not manage to see him.so caught up with one another.chat through the whole journey.in a way really made my day and put a nice closing to this day.my once in a blue moon off day.hahas.its not as if i want to have so little breaks but no choice man.

lost...lost...still lost...

OMG it has been once week since i've last blogged man.i just dun have the mood to blog sia.i really dun know y sia.i dun think its because of my new job.i've been adapting well to the new environment.made quite abit of friends.and so far working has been quite good i think.hahas.who cares abt the working hours lahs.can't even sleep properly man.hias......damn sad sia.its like suppose to be the holidays man.shall just talk abit abt my work progress so far. as the festive season draws near, more and more projects are coming in fast and furious i think i've received another one today.show u guys on monday before we decide whether we want to take that up or not.but i heard the offer price is rather good man.hahas.and i think if we do not double up and start churning out the completed, satisfied designs i think we can forget abt spending christmas and new year or wat eva season man.yeah so the chief designer decided that all shall work 96hrs straight starting from monday-thursday(8/12-11/12) that means we are working during the hari raya holiday on monday too bad for those who planned to go out that day man u already knew this was coming.and he has my support in this alrights.all involved has been contacted and that coffee chain has decided to sponsor all our drinks so all those who need a caffeine kick just show that card and they'll know what to do.please stock up a few shots at a time.we dun want ppl to keep going in and out alrights.we really got to be in high gear for the next 4days alrights.if we can got all the things done by thursday 23.59 +08:00 GMT then friday we will have an off day alights.its a promise to everyone okays...so let's juz go non stop for that 4 days and get everything settled kays??i wanna have tt day off lahs..so let's juz work till we collapse lahs.i think its gonna be fun too.we can stay over at office so no reason to go home to slack okays...we already got the keys..hahas.anyway before I forget, zegna wants us to do a pre-show review and complete the final touches for them.they are rather pleased with what we produced so don't disappoint them alrights...so that would be our first priority on monday morning.anyway repoting time for monday morning willl be 7am.not i say de ok.but no choice.it was instructed by higher authority that over writes what i do so i can't really help u guys man.even i also go to wake up super early even if i hate it ok.so those working on sunday to finish up wat u have left(which i dun know y but wat eva lahs)i advise u to start early and end early cause no one is to stay behind after 5(again it is not what i dictated i'm just merely passing the message in black and white to u ppl)so i dun think any of u all should go clubbing this sunday.if u all want to go get everything done and then go on friday.if u all are confident u all can go book that room first and put the deposit lahs.anyway dun go 1 time will die meh??hahas.anyways i wun be going lahs even if friday we are off.even though currently i dun have anywhere to go on friday yet i still will not go clubbing agains lahs.so dun try to pull there along kays...my fire for such places have died down and i just dun feel like going lahs.even when the MODS come back i will not meet them there anymore lahs even though i know its like some kind of tradition but yeah...just dun feel like going means dun feel like going.i also can't explain man.so that's all abt the jobs lahs anything more monday then ask and discussed lahs.oh yah final thing to note from Zegna:"discard all the good designs we only want the best design on our products.if we want good designs we would not come to you.only the best will do"so people u guys know wat to do on monday lahs.those going back on sunday just follow the instructions in the file u will not go wrong.settle the most urgent one 1st b4 moving on to the Zegna project.can everything ready for mon so when we come in at 7 on monday we can proceed immediately.what eva prep that should be done make sure its done before 5 on sunday or u all just come before 7 on monday which i think u all will want lahs.hahas.good luck man.see u all on monday then.

oh man i like almost 1 week never talk to my very good online friend liao sia and that person is not online now.maybe is because never talk that's y i never blog.haha.cos that person always gives me the inspiration to blog but now never talk much=never blog lors.ok lahs next time when got the mood then blog again.if that
96 hr marathon thing is a success then maybe i shall blog about it.i really hope that it is a success.wat eva.it has to be a success wad if not we can just pack our things and go back lahs and dun need to come to work anymore.ok lahs dun know wat to talk liao.can't really talk too much abt the projects we are doing due to the high confidentiality so yeah..tt's abt it i think i wanna sleep liao lahs.anyways i just saw a blog tt has my pictures OMG.tks lahs.tks for dedicating that whole portion to me.hahas.byes people....
