Day One

Aidan looked up as Emma put her laptop over the counter. “The screen blacked out. Help me. All my works are inside.” She frowned. Aidan freezed for a few seconds while trying to remember this familiar face before he switched on her laptop for inspection.

“Must be the graphic chip set. Fill up this form and I’ll call you up when it’s done.” Aidan handed her the official repair form.

“How long do I have to wait?”

“A week.”

Emma sighed and clicked her tongue. “Goodness..” she whispered.

“School assignments to rush?”

“Ah? Um, no. Work actually.. Freelancing.” she chuckled and continued “...designs, big client. Ugh. I wish I can afford a Mac.”

“No backup? A desktop PC...”

“Nope.” She handed back the form. Aidan looked at her name to reassure. Yep. It was her.

“Anyway, you guys do have printing service here right? Here...” she dug out a thumbdrive from her handbag “...I have a document to print out.”

Aidan plugged her thumbdrive to his work computer. “Which one?” He turned his display screen slightly to her. Her eyes scanned quickly through the files before she pointed a Microsoft Word document titled ‘Resignation Letter’. He opened and clicked print – at the same time resisting the urge to read through the letter, just out of curiosity. However, he did managed to catch some details.

“Hey. I remember you, you played the violin..”

Aw shucks.

“You played the solo violin on music camp back in 2007! My goodness!”

Aidan forced a smile. He never thought this girl would remember her as well.

“I can’t remember your name but, my God... What are you doing here?? You are so talented!”

Before Aidan could reply, Emma continued again “Dude you’re supposed to be at the Philharmonic Hall or Vienna or something... You’re so... Talented...” this time with a very dramatic facial expression that made him annoyed to some extent.

“Well. You have nice vocal too. Not everyone can pull out a soft tone higher soprano. What happened?” Aidan stood up from his seat and made a signal to her printed resignation letter.

Emma choked. For a moment they stared at each other absentmindedly.

“How much? For the printing.” She looked away, her tone turned upset.

“Don’t worry about it.”

“Oh wow. Really?” She looked at him, surprised.

“No, not really. You owe me a drink.” He replied with a huge grin on his face.

Emma took her document over the counter and walked away with a smile. “Oh come on!” said Aidan.

She turned around, “dude, you have my laptop. The sooner it’s fixed, the sooner you’ll get your drink.”

Day one  :)

Hai. I'm alive (Part II)

Wow, I blog.

Wow, I actually have a blog.

Anyway, hi. It's been a while. No I have not been busy, (well I do, for the past few months) but most of all I just don't have the mood to blog. Type. Write. Tell. Nah.

I received a news from my college about our convocation. After exactly A YEAR getting out of college, I am finally getting that one piece of diploma. It's on the 28th of May at Sutera Harbour. Gee, thank God they doing it here this time and not in Putrajaya. Save me some moolah. Zzz.

I do excited about this, me and my college friends have been messaging each other on Facebook about the convo and how our college being so blood-sucking about the convo fee. Now we are earning money on our own, definitely feel the burden of paying things.

Not all of us pursue our career as graphic designer. Some of us, even the super-talented ones work in different field, but glad to know that she is still producing masterpiece.. for personal viewing.

I quit my job. Hahahaa. Yes I have. I have been so restless for the past few months, and now, here I am, taking my rest... for a month already -.- and I am started to feel the itch to go to work again. But my aim for this year is to continue study, so to be honest I am kind of scared to become too attached to a job. But at the same time, I do need the chips. -quarter-life crisis statement.

(So, anyone wants to offer me a job?)

By the way, the long awaited Mount Kinabalu quest is finally on. Booked. For real now on the 1st of July. I just need once, to fulfill my biggest, postponed wish on my teenage years.

Why am I still typing? Ugh.

That's all, I guess. You won't be seeing me a lot here anymore. But I do active on Twitter :) Till then, hearts.

Hi. I'm alive.

Just a quick update on my uninteresting life.

1. For the I don't know how many attempts, I'm applying for uni through UPU again.

2. I changed job. For 2 months already actually. To an advertising company.

3. A dude just whatsapped me and said the logo I designed for him is hideous. (So I need to redesign everything) It's so hard to design for a client who doesn't really know what he wants. But I'm glad he's being honest. Like, straight to the effing point honest. Come to me bro.

4. ...

And that has been an update. Tqvm.
