YES I BE SPAMMING AND X-POSTING AND I DON’T CARE.

It says Olympic City is 4998km away ;3; Somehow it just struck me for the first time how huge China is compared to Malaysia ( I mean, I know it all along but there wasn’t that feeling of realization ever because I’d never been here? ) — and I can gauge the distance now since I travelling to Penang took us a good 5 hours + or so and it’s probably just about 400+ km away >_>

So I started working officially today.

I am no longer TEH BUM ~~~~ ( and frankly speaking, I’m not sure whether to laugh or to cry; but moolah is running out, FAST DD: Bad Hong Kong trip, baaaaaaaaaaad )

PS : My brand new iMac G5 Intel 20″ at the new workplace is a sexy beast <3 Even the keyboard is sleek and sexy. ME LIKE 8D

.. Because I just found this in my Write-draft; unposted WTF D:

Yesterday was my last day in my company of two and a half year. That was the 2nd official job in my life and after the crankerous first job which lasted 4 months .. the publication company is indeed a great breath of fresh air for me ( whoo-hoo ~ no corporate mumbo jumbo and at least I’m doing design )

In order to remember the date; I’d decided earlier in the morning that I will make a timeline thingie for my last day in that office. It was really strange though, since everything I did the moment I slip my parking access card to the card reader I kept thinking “This will be the last time I’m doing this here” I parked in the same Basement 3 car park lot for the past two years and headed to the same elevator that brings me to the ground floor; heading off to my office a little bit further, I would had left some pretty consistent foot prints and tracks that marked my way in and out of the office all these while had it not been tiled floors…

Anyway here goes!

10:15a.m.	I got into the office. Signed my name as usual and headed to my workstation. I couldn’t say enough how much I’ll missed my beloved iMac here
10:20a.m.	Got my Mac running and started InDesign, Photoshop and other softwares that I need ( and don’t really need like IMs and Firefox )
10:30a.m	Impromptu discussion regarding a special format cover for the next four months on one of the magazines that my company does. I’m not the one handling the mag; but I did the mock up for the idea some time prior.
12:20p.m.	Lunch time! We trudged to the usual ‘pan-mee’ haunt. There wasn’t many people there today; I wondered why. Ordered ‘Prawn Mee’ and wondered will I missed this food place. hmmm .. Possibly NOT though. But I’ll missed the nice Curry Mee lady who is always so sweet and nice to me =(
12:50p.m.	Got back to work and was glad that all my output for the month is already on the way to the printer.
1:15p.m.	Some changes on one of the pages in the magazine D: Will have to re-send the output to the printer people via email
2:30p.m.	Had a very "WTF?" moment when my editor came to pass me work for the upcoming month O_O; Turns out that there’s a massive changes in the magazine style and I guess I should look through it to at least brief my juniors about how to deal with it. I was burning some stuff at the moment and couldn’t access the new materials; so I ended up reading D-Grayman XDD
3:10p.m.	Went through the material once the disc slot is free and checked it. Briefed my junior ( WChing! I’ll miss her weirdness XD ) regarding what to do with it. Continued the upcoming month’s items so that whoever who took over the mag will have some sort of guidelines of how/what to do
4:45p.m.	The higher ups got back to the office from a meet-up with some mobile phone company big-wig.. AND THEY BROUGHT A CAKE DDD: I totally didn’t see that coming since they’d already had a farewell lunch with me last week T__T ( the one where I ate LOADS of sushi XD; ) I was really surprised and touched ;3; They’re so NICE to me and it made me wanted to cry ;__; I mean, everyone is rushing their magazines in one way or other but they did did and we were just running around eating cakes and joking for a good half hour or more T___T I’ll so missed you guys! Took pictures with fellow designers and the ladies in the workplace.
5:45p.m.	Started to clean up my table for good. There was so many memories I had over the two years here in this company. Not all were rose colored and cherry kisses but I did learn a lot about this field and everyone is pretty laid back in many aspects that it’s something I’ll treasure. I missed them already

I do wonder what will happened from now onwards? This is practically Day 01 of me being an official Bum. Heh

Colleagues had some sort of farewell lunch for me earlier today :3 Remembering the damage I inflicted on them during my birthday last year; I kept my mouth shut about wanting to eat at Tony Roma’s or TGIF XDD;;;

So they finally decided on having sushi-lunch; since I like everything Japanese in their eyes XD;

Anyway I decided to be evil and started grabbing the more expensive stuff on the ‘kaiten’ and even had a whole plateful of soft shell crab + goma ice cream to wash it all down XDDD The look of horror on my editor in chief and the guy colleagues’ faces as the bill doubled and tripled ( in comparison to the amount I usually spend in a kaiten-sushi place like this ) is pure GOLD XD

Oh hey, it wasn’t that bad of a bill since there were quiet a lot of people chipping in the treat :3 But at least they’ll definitely remember me heh heh.

…

I will miss this place; for sure ( I mean, first and foremost my WONDERFUL WONDERFUL iMac T____T I can’t bear to part with it! )

Singapore Day 02 report coming up! It’s PLAY! A Video Game Symphony <3

I’d done it!

I’d been wallowing in self confusion for the past weeks since a good friend of mine dropped the bomb on resignation from the company that we are working in. The momentum from the event finally gave me the jolt I needed in doing the thing I’d been wanting to do since last year.

I simply can’t believe myself on how I can procrastinate even with my own life. I suck T___T

But anyhow~ It’s done! It’s over! I’d finally gathered enough courage pushing aside the growing lump in my throat to slide the resignation letter over the Editor in Chief. Was that strange taste in my mouth caused by nervousness? Sadness? Relief? I simply can not tell anymore.

Here I am, with my eye shuts and two fingers stuck into my ears; taking the first step into the plunging unknown. Will where my feet land strike cold water? A hungry tick tock-ing crocodile? Or even, simply - an empty patch of air? I really do not know.

I personally wish I can break my legs on a horde of buried treasure yanno. Or be rescued and whisked off last minute by some handsome swashbuckling stranger ( preferably the sort that comes intact with the aforementioned treasure. Amen )

Hey, a girl can dream okay?

And for some strange reason, this song keeps playing over and over in my head:

Pretty damned emo. But I can somehow relate to it a little. And you’ll probably not want to know who sings/wrote this =P

Why the HELL is a Playstation 3 sitting next to me on my workstation haaaaarr ?

I don’t care if it’s a review unit or unit used for photoshooting. If no one takes it away before the day ends… I’m taking it home DAMNIT >:(

Don’t ask me why, but there are a bunch of toys around the office the whole day today XD

Look! Hydrogen Fuel Powered Toy-car XD There are two of these. One will just run in a straight line slowly but this one here is pretty cool. I think there’s a built in sensor to detect barriers and what not so it’ll make a turn around elsewhere instead of hitting straight into a wall. The make it run was a full science kit project to tell the truth.

But worry not! Our valiant intern, Cheryl ( last day here though ) was having fun setting it up XD

Duck Shooting Fair–thingie. It now resides on MY TABLE GAWDDAMNIT TAKE IT AWAY PEOPLE. But it managed to amused us for a good 10 minutes ( it amuses me more that a number of people usually overlook the most basic ON-OFF slider switch here in the office XD ). It starts along with this crazy annoying music and a a doode welcoming people to his Duck Shooting stall XDDD

Like srsly man. GET IT OFF MY TABLE ~
