lesson learnt

i've just learned that i'm bad at designing anything to do with hip hop culture. i was so stressed out yesterday thinking about the right layout for the scam pervert design asked from me. "please produce a scam of the current flier that suits the club's atmosphere. imagine zouk's velvet underground only a wee bit smaller." and the hip hop theme night was ol' skool vs nu' skool. pening kepala aku.
i've learned that producing 5 different flier design in 5 hours time boleh buat kau monyok, bermuka masam, stressed dan hampir mati akal. sampai aku macam hampir hilang selera untuk design anything in the future.

i've also learned that this durjana city is not getting smaller but ALREADY making us crammed up and harder to breathe. because yesterday, i've just learned that the girl whom i knew was bad news in the first place, now currently dating ex-'heart, is also currently working at that design firm. yeah. she called me up yesterday.

bestnya hidup aku. i bet you want to trade places with me, right?

vulgar dia yang seni

as i was stepping down from palate palette's spiral stairs last wednesday night, raymond who called up that afternoon was standing exactly in front of me, chatting with another dj friend. since i was to come to his place the next day, i forced myself to say hi. when i told him my name he said: "owh yeah. i'm supposed to meet a girl named senandung k tomorrow night." dalam hati aku dah menyumpah, gila lagging dia ni, didn't he catch my name? which actually he was just kidding around. okay. doesn't matter lah. tapi sekarang, right at this very moment, aku pelik macam mana anne boleh ada crush yang begitu mendalam dengan raymond. pasal sekarang, i don't feel geli-geli anymore. you know sometimes things are better left the way they are. macam itu lah raymond. maybe he'll look pretty delicious behind the dj counter, doing his thing. tapi dua malam bersamanya sudah cukup buat aku kerap bermuka macam ini: -___-
betul. i'm a very impatient person and for me to be dealing with somebody who talks at least 3seconds per word, pengsan aku dibuatnya. maybe he's just pretty like that, as an art you can just watch but not deal with. i produced two different designs with two colours each. when i opened the file on the graphic designing software, he wanted the sampah-sampah yang di tepi fliers aku buat.


seperti yang telah aku katakan dalam entri sebelum ini, mungkin ada sesuatu yang dia nampak unik tentang sampah-sampah itu pasal he was high on grass. or maybe that's the vulgar part he wanted. haih. in a positive way, at least in the future i know how to handle artistic clients like him because i'm quite a junior designer myself. hingusan, orang tua-tua kata. still learning to stand with my two feet in this durjana city. he's a superstar dj and a very valuable asset to me too. pasal siang tadi pervert design called up asking for a draft for one of their themed nights. well, if my design flow goes with their other fliers. we'll see.

stepping stone. maybe

remember the fliers i did for the katapult series (gvs:p)? it was a last minute job given to me mid february and i did one design with four different colours for each week. last friday, zaskat pm-ed me up saying to come to micro's launching party on saturday. he said: "raymond nak kenal dengan you." ya. raymond, si cina hot yang buat kami anak-anak gadis kota rasa macam geli-geli everytime tengok gerak-geri dia. i'm talking about geli-geli suka/gedik. since it was 4th april when zaskar messaged me that day, i thought it was just a prank. "april fool dah lepas laa, makcik oi!" alaa, aku perlu berhati-hati untuk mengelakkan unsur-unsur perasan sendiri. then he explained: "he saw the fliers you did for katapult and he likes it. so he's interested in meeting you up to design his upcoming stuff." wah! if i were to be given the chance to choose over sleeping or doing business with raymond, i'll choose the business. superstar dj, dude. but when i look over my katapult fliers, biasa saja. maybe he was high at that time? or maybe he was listening to a tune that suited the flier? i'm not sure myself. but i'm sure excited about it *jumping up & down.

tapi belum confirm lagi. pasal belum meeting pun. that saturday night he was tired from the session plus the europe tour. so you people better pray i get this job. pray hard, okay?
