An Artistic Journey

Why do they have to change the storyline in the synopsis?

When the original story is actually that Bella is the one who wants to go and live with Charlie?

Well.. that’s what happens when you turn a book into a movie…

No, being a Twilight fan who almost always talks about Twilight nowadays, I haven’t had the time to watch it yet.

I’m watching it this coming Thursday or Friday hopefully.

Let’s just hope the movie is just as damn good as the book.

And I’m pretty snappy when it comes to Twilight movies right now.

So, I would really appreciate it if you don’t come rubbing it on my face that you’ve watched it and I haven’t.

Kepish?

And don’t say I didn’t warn ya.

I’m pretty busy at the mo’ so all I can do is just give a teensy update every now and then.

I’m sorry.

Alright.

Gotta continue work.

Laters~

So today’s my first day of internship at Trendz Creative Advertising. Or should I say my second first day of internship? Haha.

Work so far has been… zero to none.

My Creative Director is out and he’s the one who’s in charge of me, so I was left with nothing to do except to pimp my blog. You will notice some changes on the sidebar, also on the comment page.

I took the liberty to use this free time to really get into knowing Wordpress plug-ins and widgets. Because since the last time I tried using the widgets and plug-ins none of them have been a victory for me. I have also tried activating the chatbox widget at the sidebar but it left my blog looking lopsided. I was so disappointed that in the end I had to remove it and now I guess I’m pretty tired of googling for plug-ins and widgets. I’ll leave it at that for the time being.

I have to admit that I prefer this office better than the previous one. Although there are still no work cubicles but at least I don’t have my boss breathing down my neck all the time. Hehe. Also, everybody here is very laid-back. They can turn on their speaker as loud as they like to and left me unable to think properly while typing this. I hope by the end of this entry, readers will still be able to understand what I wrote.

The office’s interior is pretty nice too. Though this office is actually more like a shop (it has a front desk and a see through door, situated at shop lots area… You get the picture right?). This company I guess is more into Advertising prints. They don not provide website designing services here not that I’m complaining since I’m pretty weak at flash websites but since I know that I’m weak, I was hoping that I could learn more about it during my internship. But I guess now I’ll have to learn on my own. *sobs*

Honestly, I feel more relaxed here in JB rather than in KL or Selangor. Oh my God, if I’d have to do my intern there ever again or work maybe, I would take a place close to where I’m staying. I’m never going to go through the traffic and get up 2 hours earlier just to get ready to work and get there in time. And that doesn’t include if I want to have breakfast first. It’s soooo stressful and tiring! By the end of the day, I’m totally wiped out because on my way going home, I’ll be stuck in the traffic again. And the toll! OMG. The toll and the fuel price is just impossible! I mean, even with the allowances given, it was not able to cover up my expenses. What with my previous condition, of course I’d be tired of driving since I used my hands a lot to drive and do work. Throughout the end, I had to ask for my boyfriend’s help to send me to work and pick me up and it became more costly than it already is because he’s from Shah Alam and had to pick me up in Cyberjaya and drive me to Subang.

It’s also nice because I can have lunch at home. Yup. Mum’s cooking for me. She asked me to come home for lunch. Isn’t it nice to have a home cooked lunch? Hehe.

So I guess this is it for now.

I’ll do another one if I’m too bored.

Toodloo!

VISTA IS OFFICIALLY MAKING MY LIFE A LIVING HELL!!

I never thought I would rant about Vista on my blog. It makes me look like a dork!

Not that I’m not one. I just don’t want to look like one. Get it?

But here’s the thing… this is the first time I ever got to use an original OS which happens to be Windows Vista. You can’t blame me for getting excited. I did ask the laptop manufacturer if maybe, just maybe, I could get an XP instead of Vista. But the lappy came with Vista already installed in it with the backup driver (also with Vista in it!). Besides, they say that it’s built for Vista so even if I did install XP in it, it might be unstable. So it leaves me no choice.

So at first I tried using Vista. It seems good until it came to the part where I have to approve each and every change that I made in MY OWN FRIGGIN’ laptop! Now not only I have to approve it once, I would usually have to do it twice! And not just that, if I ever want to install software in my laptop… I have to find the ones that are COMPATIBLE with Vista. Mind you, it’s not easy finding “that kind of software” nowadays, if you know what I mean.

Being a designer is a bit demanding on the software part especially where I have to have the whole Adobe’s clan and 3Ds software and lots of other more software that I’m too lazy to list out. So anyway, as if that wasn’t hard enough, my laptop got attacked by a stupid friggin’ virus the other day which resulted to the formatting routine. But guess what happened after formatting my laptop? I couldn’t install a single darn Adobe’s software in it which after 3 weeks I found out why when a guy who works at the CD store where I bought my software tried explaining. So I bought another Vista Ultimate just in case what he told me to do didn’t work out. I tried formatting again, voila! My laptop is now ok.

So… you’re probably thinking right now “so why in the world are you complaining about Vista?”

Wait for it.

Me, being a total idiot, formatted MY PC which I currently use in my office (Yes, I have to bring my own PC to work) with Vista. (Ok, you can hit me now. If you ever can get a hold of me :P) and until today, I’m still working out on how to view the stupid files in the Temporary Internet Files folder that Microsoft feels the need to bury 6 feet under (security reasons my A$$)!!! Despite the fact that it was bury 6 feet under, after googling for TWO friggin’ DAYS I finally cracked it open! Yay!!! But my smile faded when…

I STILL CAN’T FIND THE FILES THAT I’M LOOKING FOR!!!!!!

So now I’m back to square one.

And…

I…

Give…

Up…

The first thing on Monday, I’m going to format my PC, throw the Vista CD into a REAL RECYCLING BIN (in which - THANK GOD - that I don’t have to ask permission from myself to get approval to throw my OWN stuff) and live a “permission-free-life” like I used to with my beloved PC.

FIN.
