miracle of the decade?

August19

a drama that’s been called the miracle of the decade?

everyone has been telling me about this, my uni mates, my mom even bought me the not-so-original dvd, even wall street journal writes about it….but i dont care about it…i watch it with half fate, and half of the time i was laughing of the inconsistency of the drama props, and the lousiness of the actor’s acting….

but now. at episode 12. when they decided to add in a car accident and kill the unborn child…and i guess i know how they succeed. this! episode 12. the rain, and the plot, and everything about it, is perfectly executed. suddenly, the guy’s acting is not as bad anymore, suddenly the photo on his phone becomes the correct one, suddenly….the song is not iratating anymore, suddenly i understand why this drama got so many episodes, suddenly….i admire the script writer.

there’s always a few reason for me to like a particular drama. the story must be good, and i need to find connection with my pity self reflection from the lead girl’s story. and man…her acting is freaking good. note to all the VERY very new cast that acts in the 8pm drama tht shows on 8tv…note. this . is what i call drama acting.

conclusion? just when i thought i want to give up on this long episode drama…..XD i like the twist of the story. u deserve to be the drama of the decade.

owh? apart from meteor garden which i still choose to believe its a good one.

“come with me”
“go where”
…dammit. u really look like hua ze lei.

designers are lazy

August12

its kinda true. HAHA anyway i think haf to thanks aunty ling for teaching us how to name files “lazily”.

pasted from smashing magazine 11/08/08

From working with wide range of projects, I have learned one thing: designers are lazy (sometimes myself included). Most often it comes from our desire to get a quick signoff and move on with the next project. While several posts could have been written on this, I offer here a few suggestions guaranteed to make things at least a little bit easier in the end:

  • Name your layers and folders.
    What the heck do “Layer 234? and “Block Right Copy 23? mean? Have you ever tried to work with someone else’s files and find that one layer within several hundreds of them?
  • Make sure you cover most case scenarios.
    Nothing can be worse for integration developers to guess how something needs to look or interact. Design for the worst case scenario first and only then look at the best case scenario — you are always good at that!
  • One file to rule them all.
    By using one Photoshop file and doing all work there, your edits will be easier and you will avoid the duplication of work. Layer Comps have been invented for a reason – use them!
  • Don’t use perfect images.
    Are you using great looking images to hide the flaws of your design? Consider your job well done only when you can sell your stunning design to the client with any kind of image in it.

None of these suggestions require major effort, right? By turning them into habits you can simply later work and make friends down the project line! The world becomes such a better place!

im sorry that im such an ass. seriously to my dear nana….i was helpless..

i guess is the new thing i learn from my friend, that i shall never make ppl more sad by telling them sad things…that sorta kills out everything else right.

i dont want to whine

i dont want to nag

i dont want to complaint

i dont want to sound like i need attention

i dont want to talk

because i dont want people to feel bad for me

i dont want to take happiness away from people

i dont want to make ppl more sorrow when they haf more things to worry in their life

i dont want to be pitied

i just want to sulk….

i want to have my own cupboard to cry on

i want to know where i can rant all out without making ppl feel bad

i want to let go

and yes i finally let it go

and i can feel the air breathing in again

thank you sky for being so blue for me today

thank you for being so kind to me

thank you for letting me being me

thank you

brand new?

May12

lets start with some reallife rant…
august is when i officially complete one year of working in this current company…hmm there’s a lot of improvement lately at work, i got help at work, i got a new computer to work, i can go home earlier without bringing work, i can finish work within miracle dates, i got less stress…and as someone that didnt directly graduate from graphic design, i think i learn alot….from all these wall banging industry. nobody taught me wtf is “dont exceed ur design in 75% black” , i learn how to use adobe distiller from the printer side,i learn that one page of artwork shouldnt consist of more than 3 types of different fonts from a conversation…and about living in sparkling singapore……. i think i survived too.
i learn to hide my nationality within conversations unless its necessary….learn how to understand hokkien….i learn to be law abiding because i dont have extra cash to pay fines, i learn not to download pirated content because of previous reason too, i learn not to go out to town during weekend because i hate the crowd, i learn how to save money/ save electricity, i learn how to demand explanations, i learn how to complaint, i learn how to be anti social….i learn how to cook without using oil….i practically learn everything myself thru observations and adaptions…and slowly turning to someone i dont know…

well but im tired now. i need a break…
