Semua diorang yang cakap

Sudah lama aku tak tulis blog dalam bahasa. Mungkin kali nie ada perbezaannya :) Berapa hari ini, aku sibuk dengan kerja, kerja yang deadline diorang bagi sudah pass. Projek yang aku ingat boleh habis sebelum hari Jumaat, nampaknya tak jadi. Ni, bukan kreatif agensi yang hari hari ada deadline, tapi klien sana yang buat lambat jadikan kreatif agensi tak boleh balik awal. Sikit saja mau cakap sini…
Layout
Mulanya, aku reka satu halaman, aku study apa yang perlu, tengok dalam dalam company profile diorang, tapi, akhirnya, diorang tukar semua, dari kepala ke kaki. Untuk menambah buruk situasi ni, rekaan mereka ni berada di 90 an. Tak mau tengok ruangan yang besar, tak mau ada warna yang ringan, tak mau gradient. Mau sahaja boxes untuk salinan mereka. Biarlah… Teruk lagi, deadline sudah pass lama ni, bila diorang mau habiskan ni?
AirAsia schedule
AirAsia, lagi teruk!!! Akhir-akhir ni, aku book banyak tiket untuk keluargaku untuk datang ke Medan. Keluarga aku datang dari Sarawak ke Kuala Lumpur dan ke Medan. Semua perterbangan ditukar masa! Masih boleh bagi 85% untuk ketepatan AirAsia…

Lah~ Semua diorang yang cakap lah~

Malaysia, I have something to say

Express my thought about the process of getting marriage again :)

I don’t think I need to say much about Malaysia. Because most of the readers are from Malaysia. The thing is, the information flow inside them is not always up to date. Which ended up wasting all our time. My time has been wasted with Sibu JPN, which provided an outdated information that happen a month ago.

On the government official website, there is no detail about the procedure as well as not up to date with the current changes. Each changes took them years to update. That is exactly why 308 Tsunami happen, because current government always thought that website is wasting a lot of money (you seriously have to know the cost of a website from insider), and not so important.

Seriously, how many of you don’t search online first before ask from friend? I do. I always believe that web is always the fastest way to send out information and also the fastest information updater. That’s why all web designer and marketer struggling for a keyword just to place their website on the first page as soon as possible.

Sadly, from my research, recently Malaysia government website was ranked the ugly one among a list of other countries (subjective matter, nothing serious). With the kind of budget with the kind of design, seriously, MACC?

Get to sleep now, in case they really come :P

I work at home

That does not mean I am free 24/7. Simple as that. At the moment, I work at home, as a designer, I really don’t want to continue elaborate it, but some people don’t understand.

Freelance (work at home) is not free

Expect to pay me if you want to use my services. Friend-price or whatever is still fine, but it will be me who tell you the price, and not you to tell me how much to charge you. Foochow people has this bad habit, they want to be your accountant. They will count how much time and space and even material you’ll be use, and they’ll then set the price themselves for you. I work at home, imagine what they are saying/telling. Stop that ok? I’m making a living here.

Freelance don’t have all the free time on hand

Time
Like everyone else do everyday. Encounter deadline and being hectic and tire in the job. I do work also and sitting in my house without an air-conditional like you do in office. I don’t have those employee-benefit thingy, so I need to work extra to handle those. The worst thing is, I don’t even have a proper table and chair on my work station now.

Work alone doesn’t mean I’m rich

Money
I’m struggling with deadline also, each project can’t really feed me for a month long. Yes, I don’t have to drive and I don’t have to waste money buying shirt for office or anything office related, but I still have to buy underwear like you, pay motorhome insurance like you, feed my parent like you and etc. Even if I have a little bit more spare than you, it means I work longer hour to get those “spare”.

Work at home is working

Laptop
Stop giving me the look, like I’m some kind of jerk sitting at home playing Dota or Farmville. I play hard work hard also. In fact I have been struggling to have a little fun online nowadays.

I’m off to work now… Hopefully I can have more deadline coming… Amen!

This is the mad style

Last few week, while my girlfriend’s father went to out station, he left the vehicle at home, for our convenient. Thanks to him, I got the chance to learn driving from the bottom up again. First, Toyota Innova is really powerful. It remind me a lot about the Toyota Unser (or Toyota Kijang for Indonesian) my father used to have.
Toyota Innova
Secondly, all the drivers here have… Patient. A very big one I mean. Driving with 20 – 30km all the way, and everybody squeezing into the little tinny space they could see. With my level of patient, I would definitely flipping my middle finger. Some how, I have no time to flip my finger. I need to take real close look at the car, because all of them squeezing too close to me, from front, behind, both left and right side :? And I have to be careful of those truck with all kind of truck accessories on them too.
Medan road
Did I mention about the traffic light? When the count down count to 3 (not even green light yet) everyone start honking. I’m sure it is to wake up the front row to make sure they remember to place their gear and go. Then when the green light is on, the front row drove only 10km, so I joined the honking-group too.

I seriously wonder what is the use of the road lane line here when nobody even bother to drive on their own lane…

Namewee screw TNB, I screw PLN

Namewee, recently has a very hot video. A video about he scolding TNB while they’re makan pisang. I have been to Medan for more than 2 weeks now. I’ve been experiencing blackout every 2 days and for 4 hours and 3 hours if I’m lucky.

No, it doesn’t happen because they are makan pisang and not working, it’s the fact that Indonesia don’t have good infrastruction. So it is very common problem for the Medanese, some people who afford, they already has a gen-set ready at home, the rich one has an automatic gen-set that start up once the electric down. While for the poor one, use book la…
Fans group
My concern was not the people, because it is good for us to sometimes, sauna ourselves you see. But the electronic stuff at home, my laptop, desktop, refrigerator. It’s been the second times I help changing the refrigerator water filters. I don’t want to change laptop at the moment.

I would say, the population that created this problem. Canada on the other hand, is planning on reducting the TV set electric consumption, to help power more home. While in Medan, seriously, my E71 is shocking me while its charging… Dammit!
