What is work?

It been almost a month for me to work in the new office. Ya. I am a working lady currently. But this will not last long. Whatever it is, that really come with reason. Reason that i choose not to work in this firm anymore is because of the primary reason, i dont wish to be the one to eat dead cat.  Of course, the other reason that tagged along is the lady architect. You will never know what kind of person is she.

Her attitude done one thing to me all the time : A N N O Y I N G.. If i am allowed to punch or slap her, i will surely do that... How to describe her, in short she is someone who

1. only like guy colleagues or more to girl same race - gatal
2. always give the ugly face - the ugliest expression that i wanna punched so much
3. will find my small mistakes and take for granted - wanted to vomit over her
4. her only topic is her daughter - auntie
5. thought she is that good- no one agree
6. hate ppl go back late, give ugly face and when go early herself smiling sillyly - stupid
7. never teach but demand for impossible things - draw yourselves if you can
8. thought her title deserve her - not 1% at all
9. she never listen and thought she is right - everyone knew she is wrong
10. She is just irritating with no reason and deserve the title of B I T C H better still.. She killed my interest in working in an architecture firm. I myself despise myself to work under such a lady. I cant take her anymore. Not because of the work load but when you worked with such an attitude person, you seem to be FML your life. You will get mad and throw tantrum to people around. She is just a disaster away.

The nice part of the office is there are also nice people who willing to teach and to talk to you. They are Hanim and Pat which I really appreciate to have them around. Without them, i will not even think to stay for a month long. Because they are simply better than that lady architect 101 %. Someone who deserve respect at least. I got myself a heart attack everytime i recalled her face expression. I wished to draw on her face so much.

The firm is exactly a place of no rule. In the sense that, staff are been treated as prisoner. Define prison
Restriction - No freedom - No right - No rules - No OT money but lots OT - No future - No eye see - No sense - No idea of what is saving... I hate the most when the entire process of printing been stressed up so much. BEcause they need to track each single printing.. Each. If the amount not tally, someone is gonna be in hot water. And they meant that, save this save that and save this the most. If you save too much and in the process, you just got your staff to be burdened off. Does that save? Respect and give the tolerance at least.

Hot temper is common in the office. I do not really encounter what is the hot temper of the boss as I wasnt really been giving the chance. I been doing the abandoned drawings for entire one month and do not really see the boss apart from that monster lady. I only can say hi and bye occasionally when he round the place. But I do not wished to be draftman for even once. I learnt but that just got myself fed up. Too much of petite things to do is a no eye see stuff.

My resignation letter been drafted and will look for right time to knock down the lady architect. She is so gonna to look for new guys.. Haha.. I am sorry but i am not interested in an old lady like you.. So, i choose to say bye to you. And so.....


To be continued.

D la zy bum

Today is wohoo a sunday. Not to be mentioned what i did as it is matched to the title post. As usual, when i rose from the bed, it is already the mid of the day. So, i wasted half day of dreaming of something i wasnt supposed to. But making dream is one of my speciality.

And then, small aunt family came. It been so long till i really attended a family gathering. If i were to  be excused from these gathering last time because i am not around or busy with works, now, i experienced the idea of the simple sunday gathering. You need nothing but just you and them. It been so long ever since i am able to laze around again for a family movie in the living room and together with these people.

Updating each other about how themselves and to bring up old matters. I think when people get old, it is nice to dig out old memories. Old memories that catch the mind after 20 or 30 years long. And by the end of it, we were actually laughing at what we thought of.

Looking into other success is not what I enjoyed doing. Maybe because i am not one of them. I am still in the mid of thinking what is success in my own definition. Define success as time goes by. Is that this easy? Happy is a success? Thinking hard on that.

Case of the day : Marriage
How marriage affect the life of a person? What actually meant by marriage? Love or responsibility? I see friends get marriage early and get their first kid year ago. If back then, i will think, they are kinda fool to tie themselves down. But, if they really have a happy family behind, why not? If you not happy with it then leave it. That's the simple mindset of people nowadays. So divorcee happened a lot MORE

Marriage is a social union or legal contract between individuals that creates kinship.
Kinship. Haha.. ( responsible )
Grandma always said, you must get marry as you are a girl. But grandma, not everyone will meet the one..  Ask me back when i am 30 or 40, i think my mindset will change. One thing i love about people's wedding is.. the wedding photos. Regardless who is the main character of the frame, it is the charisma of the photo that matter.
                   
This is the marriage that i wanted to see so much. Full of energy and of course arguments. Two person of different character will create that kind of feel. Imagine you were to faced your mirror image everyday, you gotta be so damn bored. But if your other half is someone that is the other way round of you, you may get to be in different emotion everyday. Just like everyday is a new day.  Maybe you will get tired but a it will definitely different and we called that sparkles. Of course, two people of same kind will have happiness in their own way. Just my preference. ;p


And let's see same sex marriage. The originality of human evolution. We have girls and boys. Yet, there will be some girls dont want to be a girl and a boy dont want to be a boy. The old people back then said, it is against the law. But what law that really said we cant do so? Is there any particular law? Or their own preference? It is unfair to the people that fell in love. Why do they have to faced the criticism when what they want is just their happiness? X and Y does really matter that much? Yet, to be fair, it is actually legal nowadays and maybe in 50 years, a trend so that the child of them will be able to proudly present their papa 1 and papa 2. Congrats for them.. ( haha.. I still like my korean guy actors much )

I wanted to attend a wedding dinner soon. Anyone have the plan on mind? Haha.

M_O_V_I_E Theme-d fare-well din-ner

To mark the graduation behind, we had a great event launched. Not any event launch but like a wall of fame grammy award. The event happened when we supposed to rush for our portfolio and not to least mentioned, the design report. Yet, we make it. I believed that each of them already poured their 101% on that. After all, it is a success.

Event date : 30 April
Attended by : Star of wars of batch 2007/08

There were much preparation to be done before the event. I guess stayback to prepare for all this is a must. We have the Leader-Acap  -  Co leader-Chong   -   Secretary-Niena & Yaya   -   Backdrop - Michele & Sheng   Invitation/Gift - Li en & Samuel  Video - Shinyi & Ilam & 00 and others that involved. Not to forget me and some no name star as EMCEE ( what an experience )

To mark the day, I have my costume home made all by myself.. ( All by myself, dont wanna be..... ) I am supposed to blame it on my partner that insisted on the X-men character. It is so hard to compliment as the costume is rarely hard to find. If to rent, it is so tight fitted and gosh, make my days. Anyhow, at the end of the day, he finally let me be what i wanna be ( never really thx him for that and the effort to make Xmen 4 ).


So in the end, i actually come out to be an stone age guy...


Ya, I am Flinestone.. The man of Wilma, proudly present Fred Flinestone.. Thats me.. "yabba dabba doo!"
I have a night to made my own costume which i actually still have it under storage. The first time i ever made myself a real costume apart from the playtime barbie costume. To my housemates, they think i am on a war with the cloth and machine. Because, I need to figure out how to really sew a shirt. Haha. I got myself the bam, the costume, my tie and barefoot.

And introducing to you my partner of the day. He is of the character in XMEN.
C Y C L O P E or C Y C L O N E i think.. A person with the sense of humor indeed
turned serious on that day. I shall never forget that.. Haha.. Not handsome but cute and wanna act cool.. haha
And so, he is the partner of  X M E N  l V.. We just became the so called emcee of the day and the experience were :

INSUFFICIENT  F O O D
INSUFFICIENT  M O O D
INSUFFICIENT W O R D
INSUFFICIENT P I C T U R E
INSUFFICIENT C O N T A C T
INSUFFICIENT T I M E
because we are working all the time. Even the seat is not occupied most of the time. Sad case.
But we have also great time together, an experience not to be forgotten.

On that particular war night, everyone dressed up. I am pretty amazed by some of them. After all, who said this kind of themed event cant happened? Everyone is so into their character. Presenting some of the characters of the movie...

 MIC HE LE & ED WIN - cleopatra and her king of snake

TI ONG CH ENG & JA JA - Pirate of the carribean
I LAM & KAK LIN - street fighter ( chunli and grandpa? )



ANN GIE & AK MAL - i forgot their name

JIT PING & 00 - some spanish dancers

 CHONG & DA FI RA - phantom and christine daae
CLI FY & YAYA - Zorro and Senorita


SAM UEL & QL - L and Misa
SU N & TIRAM - X M E N l V

I wished i have more but that's all i can dig from facebook.. . and more gorgeous couple/partners.. 

Along these, there are even more group photo that full of action. Just L I K E  M O V I E S


This is my favourite of the day.. Haha.. My expression is pi.. la.. hahaha.. even thou the Mr. Smith do not compliment with me.. Yet, it is ok ..

We got the award of the day. Presented to everyone their own title.. And i have mine..
E_N_E_R_G_E_T_I_C .. What a compliment to someone as lazy as me.. Anyway, to whoever who got their title, i still think you are the best of you.. So do well anywhere you are now!!!!!!!!

The day ended with the tired mode in the face yet a satisfying feeling because we made it. We did our farewell well and hopefully we gonna have it the next year. If we have enough money to do so.. haha.. It is hard to gather everyone from everywhere but whenever there is a will, there is a way la.. Either one year, two or five years..  I bet there will be more kids to come around that time..

Waiting for that day and till then, we shall meet again.. TO BE CONTINUED..

Of fi cial ly gra dua ted from prison of arx hi texturE

W A T C H A ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Officially graduated from UPM...

To be continued..

It been a three year journey. Making myself so long in the field. Yet to be honest, each loving days i have over here memorable in the sense that none of it really been wasted. Well, what can i expected more when at the end of the days, I think i never made the wrong decision. The fact of me to be or not to be a professional architect is still a mystery. How long will i persist with the passion..

Aloha, I love architecture.. I can only say this after I am released from the Prison of Archi ! Until the day when i really released on bail only i realised that the track that i left behind is so different than others. Unique in the own way and i am proud.

The major difference between me now and three years back are :

I am more M A T U R E
I am more H A R D W O R K I N G
I am more C R A Z Y
I am more D U R A B L E
I am more R E S P O N S I B L E
I am more R O B O T
I am more U G L Y
I am more S M A R T

Guess there is no other courses that can change so many things at a time.

And to be honestly, architecture trained the relationship of studio mate very well. I think i missed almost every of them. No matter they are dark, fair, ugly, pretty, nerd, sarcastic, lazy or smart, they really did left the deep mark on me. Because it is them. My so called studio mates for three years.



Their smiles, their jokes, their tears, their acts, their works, their words, their emotion will be remembered as long as I breath. Long hail the souls. ;p

Graduating mean there is the start of the working life. Been adapting but seem i missed out something behind. A graduation trip. Well, maybe i should plan ahead for that. Not gonna to lose that. And I am so then officially graduated from the prison of arxhitexturE. I am F R E E ! ! !
