So I have been chomping down everything I see recently and therefore the tummy. So what a good time to be sick..you can loose weight! Ar yes..I am sick. I started with a sore throat and today, I had a slight fever, was aching all over, blabbering and screaming at everyone. Yes.

My shift was long today, 8 hours. Shifts always use to be around those hours but in recent months, shift are rarely longer then 6.5 hours at least for me. Weekends are always so busy nowadays, not good when you are sick. Save some money people, coffees are expensive.

Today, I was giving out drinks at the bar when a customer started chatting with me. Well, it’s usually us that talk to customer. So yea..he was nice, asked me where I study and all. It turns out he is a freshmen at TP design. So yes, I will see him around. I hate freshmen but I can’t possibly be mean to him just now cos he’s still a customer.

I need to sleep soon. I don’t think I am going to work tomorrow, attachment I mean. I will take an MC. My head is bobbing, my eyes feels hot and my back is aching.

I did something good yesterday.

My stomach is churing. I don’t know whether I am hungry or am I going to have diarreoa (?) soon.

My boss just left, I will leave early later. A dude (Dennis) from Cathay Photo came over just now. He is the one selling cameras and equipments to regular clients. He was telling me about my school and Chee Yong (my lecturer) and how TP photo students are not valued in the market cos the school doesn’t prepare them well enough for the job. A big part is cos we switched to digital too late. We are only switching to digital this year, making my batch the last batch of VSC students to have our foundation using film. It’s good I guess, we get best of both worlds. Films are awesome but in the working world, no one need your skills in film. So yea, I will stop here.

I am going to work (Starbucks) later. YAY, it’s Friday, I love Fridays. I am as excited about Friday as any working adult now. Oh and I got my pay today. It’s only $200 :( My friends are getting like at least $450 or some $600. At least there’s money so I will shut up. The week was shot cos I took 2 days off. Oh Yong Kin (my lecturer) will be coming down next week to check on me.

I got nothing to blog really, just wanted to tell everyone my stomach hurts. OH, I can go scan my film now since my boss is away. I should be scanning his but I am evil. WHAHAHA. Ok, I should go just some food.

I am typing this on my boss’ laptop, I could use his giant Mac Desktop but giant doesn’t come in handy now that you are blogging during work time. My boss is not here. It’s really ok cos at least I don’t get annoyed by him. See, he is stupid. He is a good photographer but he’s stupid as a person. I felt so annoyed I had to tell in detail this to my sister and Per.

I stayed at home in the end yesterday since I woke up to a rainy day. I took off cos I needed to go to school for director’s talk but since my whole bunch of friends are not going, I am not. My sister was at home yesterday since she had an swollen (elephant) leg. I didn’t even know she sprained her ankle till Monday when I met Jpaul at Yio Chu Kang MRT. And it took quite a while for me to find out how to spell “sprained”.

Add/drop of subjects on Monday was damn annoying. Damn year 2s get priority cos they suck Moses’ cock. Seriously man..what kind of shit is this? Since when year 2s ever get priority over year 3s cos they help in orientation camp. The Qs were all screwed and jumbled up, I waited for like 8 hours..just to drop a subject, I didn’t even get to add anything cos all the subject sucks or I couldn’t take them.

Anyway, yesterday my sister and I ordered Pizza Hut. Yay, it was a good meal. Then I stayed at home the whole day and watch shows online. I watched Friends and CSI. These two never go wrong, I can watch it the whole day and not get bored at all.

My mother booked the tickets back to HK and China already. Yea, so I confirmed not going back. I really don’t think I will enjoy 2 weeks alone with her ALTHOUGH the shopping is tempting. I will just call her to help me get perfume. I will spend the last month of SB LT with all those racist partners.

That’s about my day.

That was a totally random title. I am tired and sleepy and it’s 3.24am. I just came back from work. I actually ended at 10.30pm but I was quite lazy to take the train home. In the end, the company van came late and yea, I am home at 3am.

The weekend went by fast. I was working..at Starbucks of cos, not my attachment job. I met Perryn after work on Saturday. We chilled out in town, catch up. It was quality time spent.

That’s about my weekend. I am off from attachment till Tuesday cos I am going back to school.

I am not feeling much nowadays. Like really, I am not sad nor am I very happy. I am not even thinking much, really..I go to work with a blank mind, work..and come home with a blank mind.  It’s not bad but it’s just annoying..it feels like I don’t really function anymore except for routines. Maybe it’s my attachment, maybe it’s just that life is pretty monotone now. Maybe I need an adventure but then if it’s gets too exhausting, I will start whining.

And I am scared. It’s usually time like this, after this period, I will be a sad person again.

I have to blog about it.

I was on bus 100 on the way home from store meeting at Temasek Towers. I was sitting at the inner two seater seat at the rear of the bus. At around City Hall, a man came up the bus. He looks rugged but I didn’t really give a shit, I was just sitting there with my ipod. He came to the back and thinking of where to sit. He sat next to me. After 10 seconds, I have the best time of my life. He fucking smells. It was so fucking bad but I will try to put it into words:

Imagine you have a nose of a dog (and prob x5 of that sensitivity). Imagine a big big, furry very furry dog that has been out in the sun (damn sweaty) for its whole life. Imagine you have to put your nose deep into the dog’s fur for a whole hour.

The smell was just indescribable man..it was just weird beyond weird. I don’t even mind being in the smelliest toilet or smelling someone’s stinky feet. Which brings me back to a few years back when I was in HK, a sleeping old man’s feet was so damn fucking smelly, the driver (double deck bus FYI) had to stop in the middle of a highway to find out what’s going on.

Back to the smelly man, my god..I held my breathe like I was in space. Slowly, everyone started moving out of their seats and rather stand. When people got on the bus, move to the bus, within 5s, they walk back.

I was about to move out of my seat when someone got off behind me(the long back seat of the bus and he went at the far end), so he sat behind. I stayed put at my seat. He then started standing up, standing behind me, sit down, make funny noises. I totally freaked out man..fuck, I left my seat. He was fucking weird man..he is mad I think. And of cos not forgetting the fact he smells like hell.

Near Geylang, he got off. OH MY GOD, he had to walk pass me and through the crowded bus. I squeezed with the girl next to me damn tight. Everyone parted like the red sea for him. He was running pass so please recreate the smell in your head.

Very importantly at the end of this message:

Partners of SB-LT, this is what you call smelly. STOP CALLING ME SMELLY DAMN YOU, especially Farid and Andy.

Btw, about the English lady client I was talking about yesterday, she was telling me she grew up in the countryside in England. And the prices of properties shot up cos of many celebrities moving into the neighbourhood. Joss Stone and Chris Martin of Coldplay are her neighbours. Cool right?
Oh and I went home, the smell got stuck in my head man. I was damn hungry but was damn nauseous, I totally lost my appetite. I felt like I haven’t bathe for 1 month. I still had the smell in my head this morning. It was the worst smell EVER. You really would never want to be in my shoes. I promise you don’t be dozing off at work or school every once you get a piece of him.

I just checked my new timetable. I got pretty sucky subjects, I will going to school on Monday to add/drop. I got:

Corporate Identity
Advanced Photography Processes
Publication Design
Information Design

I am keeping only Advanced Photo and definitely dropping Info Design but at least it’s not Ferdi that teaching so I might keep it.

Work has been alright today actually. There is an English lady (client) in the studio today. She is nice, friendly and flexible. She talks to you but it’s not irritating or annoying but encouraging and informative. Unlike the chinese man here yesterday, he kept going on and on and on about market trends and market needs and how I should ask more questions. Like what the hell right? He’s been here a few hours..how does he know whether I ask questions or not.

It’s damn different working with locals and foreigners. They actually communicate and chat with you rather than sit there and wait for the work to be done. While this is how our culture works, this is a reason why caucasians are somehow more superior. There are people complaining how employees in service lines serve them differently, but just look at how services are two way with them. I mean it’s not always the case..there are nasty and arrogant people too.

We went to Novena Square for lunch just now, at Delifrance. When there are clients around, my boss drives and bring us to better place to eat. My boss and the lady started chatting about the design scenes, all the art and creative directors, they are somehow connected to every major design firm in Singapore. I think this lady is from some major design firm as well. Hmm..

The lady liked me, she praised me in front of my boss. We were shooting iced coffee and they colour of the real coffee was bad. I suggested using tea, it came out good, we added food colouring as well. Now my boss likes me more, cos the shoot went well. He just left with the client, I am in the studio all alone. I will leave early again.

I like the view from my company’s big kitchen window. It’s on just the 7th floor but I can see many buildings. And looking a bit further, I can see Concourse, Sim Lim Square and the still in construction, the biggest Ferris Wheel in the world. And occasionally, you see the DHL hot air balloon flying in the sky. It’s just beautiful. I don’t know why, but this view just makes me pause and think.

I travelled pass the Ferris Wheel in a car quite a few times.  I love looking up at it. The shiny pieces of metal pieced together to form a giant round structure. It sits next to the sea, so high as if it touches the cloudy afternoon sky.

I will sit on it one day..and one night too and maybe one evening and watch the sunset.

There’s a shoot going on now for Camel nuts. We are shooting cashew nuts and a cocktail nuts for the packaging. It reminds me of my packaging design class with Pat. It was a packaging for cashew nuts as well.

Anyway, talking about nuts, I have a question. The other day on CSI, a psycho killer committed suicide by eating a peanut butter sandwich. He was allergic to peanuts. You know how some people are allergic to peanuts and can die if they eat it? Yeah, so what kind of test are there to test it? You can’t possibly try some peanuts and end up dying right. Ok, I hope I don’t sound bimbotic.

There’s a stressball on the table..it has two eyes. It’s like a cartoon face. It’s quite funny when it bounces up and down.

Anyway, this is the website of the company I am interning in now called Picture Place. Ignore the horrible design, check out the gallery, pretty good stuff.

And soon, there will be an ad (those bus stop ads) for Heaven and Earth Green Tea with a monster hand. When it’s out, I get credit for it too. COS, I did the some of the digital imaging for the monster’s claw, like replacing a claw with another finger. HAHA.

Anyway, I left work early yesterday, like 4pm and met Audrey B. We had Pastamania for dinner. And I bought a pair of $10 shoes from Bata. It’s quite cute. They were clearing shoes stocks I guess. Only like size 4 and 9 left. You see, most people don’t have tiny feet like me.

I am bored and I am hungry, I am quite sick of eating almond nuts. I was eating them as I picked them out for the shoot. OH I should go eat the mocha pound cake we shot yesterday, leftover. Ok goodbye, I shall go scan my film now.

And go check out my Fotologue. It’s a Jap company something like Deviantart, damn pretty.
