Had been listening to lotsa sad love stories lately. And it has been kinda disheartening. Until this morning, I received an eDM from Woman’s Lifestyle and their theme was Love.

Well, at least there are still lotsa true loves out there. :)

 

The road bridge March 27, 2008

Filed under: Interesting Stuffs, Thoughts — lovegie @ 11:49 pm

Just watched at documentary on CCTV, a channel from china. Basically it was about a rope bridge that was used in a remote village of Yunnan, as means of transport from one mountain to the other.

Kids starts to cross the bridge alone when they turn 5 as they need to cross that river to get to their school everyday. Read it here.

There was a moment when the reporters saw a little gal about 4-5 years who got stucked in the middle of the bridge. She didn’t panic and climbed her way through. OMG. I would be wetting my pants if it was me!

Makes me wonder how fortunate I am now. It was nothing compared to my daily 1 hour travel to work. At least, I wasn’t playing with my life.

After filming, the media went back to Nanjing and called for donations. Finally, they collected enough funds to build 4 bridges! Thank God!

Lost June 29, 2007

It has been an emotional roller coaster ever since i started working in VT.

First was the cultural shock. The environment was sooo quiet I bet you can even hear a pin drop on the carpet. There was no laughter and pple chatting like wds. I was sitting away from the other designers for the 1st 2 weeks because my pc hadn’t arrived. So basically i was sitting alone. Having working in a UK/US influenced company for 2.5 yrs I probably forgot how its like to work in a local company. From the way you handle stuffs to the way you communicate. It’s almost totally different.

Then was the workload and tight deadlines. It was horrible working on a CRT monitor that is like almost dead, working with a new client and within a real tight deadline while multi-tasking other smaller projs. I couldn’t take the pressure and the late nights.

That was my 1st month and it was really horrible. Plus piggy was in Aus then, so there wasn’t anyone there to support me emotionally.

Things took for a turn after the 2nd month.

Everything seems to fall into place and some of my clients were pretty pleased with my work. Made friends. Got confirmed. Promoted to senior. Had a chance to lead. Won the star player award.

But now… I’m pretty confused on what should I do next. Hearing things from my colleagues. Pple leaving… The ever heavy workload.

ARGH.

For the 1st time I had 9 projects on hand!! NINE!!! I was so pissed & stressed today!

But then i wasn’t ready to leave… felt that I hadn’t learn enough. Felt that I hadn’t achieve much before moving on.

Don’t get me wrong, I nvr regretted leaving wds. Piggy & me felt that leaving wds was a great choice because basically.. I wasn’t progressing in any way and I’m not cut out for politics. I don’t enjoy being mean & sarcastic, plotting against fellow colleagues or claiming someone else’s credits. But I do missed my dear ex colleagues! :)

Sigh. SO what should I do?

 

SO… How should I start? June 29, 2007

Filed under: Simple Life, Thoughts — lovegie @ 10:34 pm

SO… How should I start?

Feels kinda weird writing a new blog again. Basically I hate moving on to a new blog.. but i’m thinking of closing down my dot com site and livejournal seems like a fun & user friendly blog site. Though I would really love to import my entries from my wordpress database over to LJ, but it seems kinda complicated…

Well, what do u expect from a lazy web designer like me? So I’m not gonna promise I’ll design my own blog. You’ll probably get a surprise one day when i finally say something like “There you go, my own blog design!”.

Yes, being the lazy me… I’m too lazy to edit + upload my photos. Opening Photoshop and editing photos reminds me of working. So that explains y i’m lazy to design my own blog as well… *sheepish grin*

BUT, I promise to upload as much photos as possible. Cos a picture explains a 1000 words. And… how can a designer not have photos/pics on her blog?! Lol…

Enough crap.

I should start some serious blogging already!!
