its me again

"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need."

- Chuck Palahniuk

quote above says it all. now that advertising rules and chasing us from every corner, we tend to work our ass off to earn extra cash just so we can get the latest tops or jeans in the market. theres so many things i want and need and how i wish my cash is that big to fulfill my 'wants'.

currently need!

1. BLAZER! been looking for it for quite some time and just found a nice on at ZARA for RM250+
2. a black open toe wedges (this one is very hard to find)
3. high wasted pants to pair up with nice not so thick black thighs
4. red flats
5. chiffon tops, covering all angles. either long sleeved, short, sleeveless
6. CAR

the funny thing here is, how did i manage to get 'car' under no. 6? lol well for me, i just love dressing up. i love to try on different things from the only resource i have, my wardrobe. its not alot, but some works and some doesnt. to conclude i do work my ass off to get all the shits that i need and with a little hope, just hoping that i will get a raise at the end of this year so i dont have to minimize my expenses here and there, because i hate that. but whatever it is im just glad to be here, where i am now. all i can do now is just be thankful and hoping god to give me something good soon :)

lovelies!

weddings

im full as hell (well, yesterday that is.) i went to two weddings! and ate bunch of calories and carbs. i mean, it got me thinking im already gaining weird though my boyfriend thinks i havent so. its weird. i dont wanna be fat. im not those girls who obsess with weight gaining kind of idea and getting fat and shit but lets be real here. do you feel good when your thighs cant get through your old jeans? haha been there. so what im saying here, yes i would like to have a nice figure and i do cut a bit lunch and dinner here and there but the idea of getting skinny never got me to cut my whole daily meal or go on diets or even worst, force-puking myself. no not me. so girls, never hold your cravings. i come from genes who very much gets "healthy" just as soon if i dont watch what im eating. but who can say no to food? dont be obsessive. love yourself.

so about weddings, which i love! from food to its tradition. the groom and the bride looks beautiful! they look pretty much inlove. not sure when they knew each other, but they have these slideshows of their pictures together since couple and stuff. it was sweet and i hope it'll last :) congrats aunty sue's daughter (okay i sound horrible for not remembering the bride's name! :s)

i have a picture in my head how my wedding will look like. hey, im a girl. you can never stop a girl from day dreaming :) im a traditional girl. though its the 2011 now, and i have seen and went to weddings who doesnt follow any of those old traditional malay weddings anymore. but when its my time, im going to have a wedding like one of those wedding back in the olden days. well atleast i hope so

hola!

21 baby!

happy birthday to me :)

thank you baby

logo designing

So for the past 5 months of my working experience at Duo Thoughts, i have come up with some designs for my job. but one of the hardest job that i had to do was a logo. if you think about it, logo? naaaah, its not that hard. just find a nice typeface, give a nice colour, put some icons on it then we're good to go. but no, its not. for those who is not in designing line, well its hard as fuck! :) (mind my language) a logo is an identity. something that people will see for a long time to represent a company or parties. yes, you can change the logo anytime but c'mon. are you willing to spend another rm1/2 mil just for another re-branding? okay so there is alot to consider about A LOGO, people's point of view, is it readable from a distance or not, attractive colours?, oh and the hardest is putting on sensitive icons that will give buyers different perception on its product. as silly as it may sound, putting a star on a logo could give the wrong ideas too. if you put 3 stars in a logo, people will think "omg, 3 stars je? euw takde class laa". but if you put 5 stars on the logo, it will give another message too, "5 stars=paling top punyaaa. comfirm mahal! ish tamau beli lah!". so what do you do? to avoid this, dont use any stars at all! and yes i got that from the experience of kena question so much about just a star on a logo by my boss.

here's some specification on what they wanted on their logo:

Rosy: produce biscuits products. Rosy is actually a short name for Rosyam Nor (which is my chairman of my current agency)

logo specifications :

• modern
• has that malaysian flavour/feeling
• something like munchy's logo
• something to those EQ mag, macho kind of feel to represent Rosyam.

okay imma stop blabbing, lets see what you guys think about my logo.

above: the logos that i came up with on my first try. and aaaaall got rejected. why? because they dont want to see the idea of the wheat so much because Rosy is a mother company of all the products the come up with. ex: Kraft or Munchys. i also tried something edgy, modern kind of look. and i got rejected again. at this point, i was out of idea and clueless. branding was never easy.

above: on my second trial. notice how i use the star? notice how i use the icon of the chef's hat? well my boss thinks it looks so much like Gardenia's (bread) logo. does it? he thinks i went and copy other people's identity and i did not. its a universal symbol for food products. but okay, boss. whatever you say :( none of the above was accepted by my boss. so i was down for a day and just give up. thank god, my senior graphic designer gave me another job on that day. so i got to do something way way better and not so stressful.

what do ya think?

.......

after filtering all of the logo choices, we came up with this logo (above). this logo was done by my senior. and what do you think? i mean, at first it was just a logo with the typeface. later on, Rosyam Nor came and i had to do the changes for the logo. they wanted to add stars and the stamp border to the logo. eventhough we have consulted them to avoid of stars usage on a logo because of the reasons that i have stated just now they still want the star. i mean, its predictable. ever see power root's logo? which is Rosyam's company too. they also apply stars on power root's logo. but tkpe lah. whats done is done.

any views? come share! :)

wont you save me?

life is hard. i know, i get it. and ive accepted that fact. i try to give equal love to all of my loved ones. though sometimes it may look a bit unfair when i go to A, then B kecik hati. but there are some parties who dont give a shit about me. or it may have look like. so what i did, i just went off. i dont wanna be around people who dont even have a second to actually stop for abit and try to understand me abit. by saying "okay, i understand." would make me feel a whole lot better actually. if people try to understand my points, its not like im going to abandon on theirs. im not selfish. before, i may have been but i wanna grow up. but now i accept people's point of views too. but im the immature one here. if you are reading, im sorry. ive texted you. and im going to say it again, im sorry. i love you so much no matter how much we argue and get hurt, we will always be sisters for life. lets just consider each other's feelings from this day onwards. i never meant to hurt any parties.

hey old friend

oh hello there, my dear blog!

couldnt see you behind all that life thats been going on. well, a lot of things has been done since the last time ive updated you! so lets see...hmm okay, i am now officially a junior graphic designer where i design corporate annual reports and above and below the line advertisements. my company's clients are all those big time companies like, RHB, air asia, MTD and more. i got confirmation after 3 months of prohibition , so thats a good sign. it has been tough, and i mean it. but the experience is just what i want actually. without guide at my current agency, i wouldnt even know HALF of the things that i havent even learn at college during diploma. im really thankful of what i have now and where i am. sure, i wont be staying at this agency for like another 5 years, but what i have now is more that what ive asked. so, thank you GOD. thank you for guiding me and keeping me in patience. ive always wanted that. oh yes, during this 5 months period of my working experience i have been maki (but not in any explicit languages, my boss is really nice) but i guess, i should thank papa. because i will only learn whenever ive been scolded. as bad as it sounds, i now know i only learn stuff like that haha

although, with my busy days at work (most of the time) i do tend to forget izzat abit. and i apologize. never meant to, but i have always been a forgetful girl. i guess he gets it now, though sometimes he still get mad at me whenever i forget about him hihi. but really, most of the time i am busy and my head is somewhere. just not with him. but when i finished work, hes the first person i go and look! my mother cant even beat that, yeah and i mean it. and yes i know how bad do i sound now but c'mon? really? im sure you guys do the same right? lol well it has been 2 years and 5 months now. has it really been that long? i feel like it was just yesterday when he laid his eyes on me again :) though he has been catching my heart times to times. as usual, he will always find a way to make me fall in love with him again and again! izzat does have a soft part of him, and pemurah orgnya! and i mean it. thats the best part i see in him :) but above that all, the only thing that counts is HE LOVES ME AND ONLY ME. not that girl, not that bitch or and oh! definately, not her haha. me :) im pretty much happy actually. i just love you so much. :) thank you for being you and thank you for US!

and so, yesterday ive made another mistake in my life. which is, DRUM ROLL PLEASE! *tap tap tap.... i went and cut my hair again. damn. well i have this thing, where i cannot stand being in the saloon! creepy but i love it when people plays with my hair. though i did get some good comments from my colleagues. but ITS ABIT SHORT NOW IS ITTTT. why did i even...urgh. but i came to a solution, where i will need RM25 to get a bottle of shampoo that will make your hair grows faster than usual. like 'FAST5' kind of fast ya'know! narh, im exaggerating! (and i learn that alot from izzat! haha sorry baby! :3) but the gay hair stylist did say it will. so i will try to get my hands on that, hihi!

short, no? well it will grow. right? *ME HOPES!

moving on, other than my hair evolution (LOL) before that, ignore my big fat giant LUKA on my nose, that was my attempt on popping out the pimple. obviously, i failed. and got luka instead. i also lost my ring. which i am very upset about for a while now!! i mean, i love the my ring more than ever. more than my blackberry! (okay, slow down there girl! now youre talking crap hihi) really. i am really sad of my careless and my oh so skinny fingers (it is! i know im fat but my hands are really small. so the ring is a bit loose) :'( kesian izzat. now all i have is his necklace which he gave for our first anniversary. which is snapped, the necklace that is. its not my fault (me inside: it is your fault! humph!), the necklace is very thin. so i will need to replace it soon. i would really love to wear it again, soon!

see? no ring, and no trace of my necklace too. its abit weird actually. been wearing it for a year then it is suddenly got lost. my hands feels so naked and the colour difference on my finger still can be seen. *sigh! and izzat is really pissed at me about this. which makes me feel even worst!

i also got a new piercing. will change my stud soon and put on more studs on my other piercing holes too. being such a rabble! sorry mama hehe im getting another piercing, the same kind but with a stud going through 2 holes. but on the other ear. you get what i mean? well i will update soon. keep it coming, ana! haha

other than that, thats all i feel like talking about. much love, people! :)

me loves you :3
