Student for a Day
My first lesson was using Illustrator to draw techinical drawings on apparels...
All I can conclude..
1) I'm really bad with laptop.. controlling using that little "ball" proved to be the greatest challenge of all...
2) Practice and experience..
3) One really need to have the "gift" to design..
4) My friend is impressive sia.. not because he taught me how to draw lah.. but, he knows far more then me on using the designing programme sia.. though I am playing" quite well on photoshop.. but his "not really know how to use" already has far supress what I know liao... Feeling quite ashamed of myself sia.. I really need to go on course liao...
He is no longer the one I knew le...
Its time to give him credits for all his effort le..
Its time to shut others up le..
Its time to sit back le..
My last lesson was learning about the expressways in Singapore..
Okie.. I know to some of you, it might be like, whats so great about it right.. and thought u shld know that kind huh..
But I really dunch know my expressways lehh..
The taxi driver "taught" me how to recognise the different expressways and their "use"
He said that, to know whats the "name" of the expressway can guide u to the location u are heading to...
PIE: Pan Island Expressway, which means it generally linked Singapore together
ECP: East Coast Park, which means u are at the east, close to east coast..
That sort of things..
To some of you might be like.. "ah the.."
But to me.. its really something NEW sia...
Interesting day..
Cant wait to put what I've learnt into use...
Cant wait to start drawing..
Cant wait to drive...
Hai~

A lonely Saturday Night
Its a saturday night and I am at home.. Blogging!
hahaha...
Long day.. Meetings and meetings..
Actually, I am really glad I am at home now..
I've worked for 13days straight and tmr is my only FULL REST DAY, before I am back to my "interesting life"
Renovation for palais is starting on monday..
Cant imagine I have to "read" floor layout.. the measurements, the positioning..
Lots of new terms too.. Thankful that the ID lady is quite.. hmmmmm... easier to play around.. wahaha... I am not bullying her lor, just that she is easier to "demand" for things..
Everyone is so busy.. So much logistics..
All I can say is.. there is really alot of work involved starting a boutique..
On one part, I am really looking forward to the opening..
but just cant help but feeling abit worrying..
Not sure if I am up to standards.. not sure if I am up to it..
Recently, feeling quite "stucked" in creating artwork..
know too little to fully create what I really want to show.. cant fully express my thoughts..
Guess, its time to rot at kino.. time to get "inspired".. need to do research liao.. cant imagine I am doing this..
17Oct will be the press event..
Shld take a photo of how the PR person looked when my boss told her I was the who had been handling all the events for the company.. She looked so shocked and speechless..
"So you know are the one who cheorograph the show, select music and run the event? Sure can do it?"
Cant blame them lah.. I am so inexperienced.. and they have been working with professional event companies..
Seriously, quite stress ah.. imagine.. all the press pple are there.. editors, stylists..
I cant "break" the event lor..
Its not only the company's reputation.. Its also about me..
Its about leaving an impression, its about my future..
How far I can go, how well, and to earn that "little" respect from the industry..
I got to prove to pple I can do it..
And its also my duty to help bring my company to higher level..
17oct.. arghhh
And to make things worse.. ur friend here is like so bloody fat now..
I looked like 5months pregnant lor.. okie.. maybe 3 months lah..
But i am so "thick"lor.. if u know what i mean..
How? Apple diet till that day.. but will faintz leh... hahaha.. excuses..
okie.. okie.. excerise right.. bleah..
This is so much worse then going out on a date..
My cousin's wedding falls on the 7oct..
Wasnt looking forward to it..
In fact, was quite happy when an in-hse fashion show as planned on that very day..
But it was cancelled due to limited budget.. argh..
Imagine.. I have take leave for that day.. cause its a LUNCHEON..
hai~
Guess to make myself looking forward to it..
I shall go for express manicure, eyebrows grooming..
I need a hair cut - shld I straighten my hair.. so that I can "cover my breasts and fulfil my aim" faster..
I am not going to buy a dress - I had plans to initially.. shall wear my Miss Sixty Skirt.. the most.. Plan to get a tank top and a nice bolero jacket.. cover my fat arms and prolong my body..
can give illusion that I look slimmer..
But no bag sia.. hai~ Shoes.. shall wear the red patent one..
Ya.. so much money just to "create that looking forward" feel huh..
wahahahahaha...
Thank you for your attention! -The End-

Sth to share...
When we are feeling trapped, it is a signal to stop, take stock and see what we need to do to get our lives back on track. - This feeling is a gift.
Ultimately, no one can trap us but ourselves and it may take time to see this. The feeling of entrapment open doors for us.

奢侈
"好想任性一下，自私一下。"
不要告诉我“可以”, 就是因为“不可以”， 才会说“想”。
不知何时开始，就“不可以”了。
我承认是自己造成的，但你们也是帮凶啊。
“能干，独立，勇敢。。。”- 都是大家对我的一些形容词吧。
要维持这个形像，还有一点累也。
能让人时不时担心，也是一种幸福吧。
可惜，我没有这种机会。
真羡慕！
好想重新开始。
可不可以有那么的一天，
我作一天的你，你作一天的我?
为别人担心久了，也会想“拿假”啦。
但我是工作狂。。
算了。。

自编,自导,自演
How can I ever say that my life is not exciting..
Perhaps I've been watching too much of those Taiwanese Idol Drama..
My life seems to be just like one of those typical drama, just that mine do without a Male Lead..
Most of you shld know how much "problems" I had with my work..
But recently, I had kind of sorted my "work problems" out..
(Yup, after the Private Viewing of Devil wears Prada, I swear it was that show that enlightens me)
Since I have choose to work in the company, I might as well give my best shot..
And I started by clearing up the chucks of "papers" stacked on my table..
And guess what, I felt so much "in control" of my work..
And my table has never been so "big"..
Really trying hard to make this work out..
Cause..
I really like the company and everyone there..
Most importantly, that was wat I wanted ever since I started schooling at Raffles Lasalle.
But know what..
Such sweet happiness are forever just so short-lived..
I went back Raffles to meet a friend of mine..
And I chance upon this book printed by the school:"Raffles Designers"
This a book that records all the alumni that had some achievements after they had graduated from the school..
And I was so proud to find my name inside..
(Months ago the school had already approached me for details.. and yesh, the info inside was all very well-edited by Miss Angie Neo..)
Still happily showing-off to my friends ya..
But sth was amiss lah, I didnt see that phrase "Top Student / Best Academic" in my page..
Well, I went after a long and tiring day..
(After my anime session)
I went to flip and compare pages ya..
(I really shld have just gone to bed, cause what happening next is the reason why i am still awake at 3.48am at this pt, writhing this blog)
I realised, my classmate Mr Tan, won the Best Academic award for our Batch leh..
If he won, then how about me?
Then I suddenly remembered, Top Student receive a letter informing about the scholarship - and I was needing it as I was thinking of using it and going back to school.
(Perhaps this letter might "prove" that I am the Top Student h uh)
Know what, I cant find leh..
I just cant find my that letter - That letter that can prove my identity, and also my worth..
I mentioned the above matter to this friend (the one I met, he still schooling in school..)
And he told me, I wasnt the only one who got this mistake leh..
About Franco Tan being the Top Student and not Juliana Chang, in fact alot of them thought he was the one..
Wahahahahaha.....
So which means, all along, it seems like I am living alone in the little dream of mine ya..
Really building castle in the air..
In the castle, I was the Top Student..
(By the way, this friend that told me, is the TOP STUDENT FOR FASHION DESIGN for his batch ya.. And No mistake on this de.. Whole School Knows about it..
And he today, then tell me about the "mistake" cause he thought I wldnt be bothered by it... what can I say.. He dunch know me lor.. which also means, if I didnt mention, he also wont say.. and I will forever in my own LaLa Land)
I went to check my cert leh, I was graduated in Dec 2005, but then I was working then..
Any my so called "Best Academic" was for Dec 2004..
Best still, Best Academic Award was also awarded to 5 other students whom Group's Final Marketing Project was the Best Academic lor..
SO which means.. mine was??
Mine was fake all along..
Think I've been making this Top Student Thingy up..
True hurts h uh...
Suddenly just dunnoe what I have been working for..
Lost, gone..
To all reading, just a background info on Juliana Chang ya:
She is really a proud and big pride lady...
She is showy - thats how she can look arrogant..
Thats how she protects herself
Thats why, that status means alot to her..
So much not because its sth she can show off...
But that status was her worth ya..
Her worth after her biggest failure and regret in life..
Now that she lost need..
I also dunnoe how she is going to cope..
But judging by how well she is now at hypnotizing herself..
She can pull it through..
Cause thats what everybody says..

Hope is a dangerous feeling
"Just a nice pail of warm hot water.."
Thats my wish now..
So simple hor..
But not easy to fufil it ya...
Cause it wont be "nice" if I have to prepare it myself...
Get wat I mean?
Wahahahahaha...
I've been wearing lots of heels this week..
And today was the worse..
Had to walk so much...
Tired...
I am a pampered princess.
Have u ever felt stupid for doing some things..
Like wondering to yourself, why on earth u wld agree to do some things, when at that point when u agree to it, you know u are bound to suffer after that..
I mean, why must there be situations that; will leave u feeling "regret" be it u do it or not..
In cases like this, how?
I totally think that I am a trouble-maker leh...
Cause I really like to create problems for myself..

我爱你一万年!
"Dai Ke Hor"
Wahahahaha...
Good start for september...
Char got free tickets to concert!
And we had wanted to go sia..
But budget tight..
But her friend working in Mediacorp managed to get free tickets for her!
(Her friend already bought tickets le)
I talked so much I never tell u all hor..
Its Zhang Zheng Yue and Wu Bai's concert!!!
Look! Its a pair of $98 tickets sia.. + $2 handling charge
Tickets total worth $200!!
Waiting for the concert to start.. Its really a "man" concert lor.. Majority is guys de.. and those more "Ah Bengs" kind de.. I mean, cant blame lah.. with Wu Bai as one of the singers, you dunch expect some hip hop R&B right...
Zhang Zheng Yue da tou zheng...
This guy ah, expected much "fun" from him, but turned out, he too wo xing wo shu liao.. Cant really be bothered in "interacting" with audience.. really have to thank MC hotdog for "frying up" the event...
Omg.. Wu Bai is so damm cool lor.. I totally in love and "soaked" in his singing.. That "Tai Yu Jiang".. And they purposely placed this fan infront of him to let his hair "fly".. Suprising lah.. Can hum to his songs.. But so sad lor, I dunch know the lyrics to sing along.. SObz.... But really lor, his section, ALMOST EVERYONE stood up and "Get High" sia..
The concert is damm shiok.. My first "LIVE" concert leh.. That feeling is so good... Dunnoe how to explain... Pity I dunnoe the lyrics and my "Tai Yi Bo Hor"...
But really need to mention here..
Must thank Wanzi, she came all the way to pick us and send us to Bedok to take cab...
Cause there is no more MRT and the taxi is like so long...
Lucky she came.. if not.. I might need to walk home liao lor..
Imagine Charlene.. she stays in Sebawang sia..
