Just so you know i'm not dead yet.I felt sorry for my blog as i abandoned it for so long. And here's my very 1st post for 2009.Lepaked for almost 3 mths after quitting from Bates. It felt good in the beginning, but as time goes by i started to miss working life. yeah, u might think i'm crazy. A lot of my frens envy me for not working but trust me, it's not tat fun after all. Especially when u r BROKE.So whoever who is reading this, I NEED A JOB. Inform me if there's any openings ya. ;)Some quick update:I'm going for Jason Mraz's concert on 4th March. Woo Hoo!
Hey people...Currently my friend, Cheryl is doing some home bake Christmas cookies and marshmallows, for Christmas. (obviously) haha..
Interested? Check out http://www.lajoiehomebake.blogspot.com/ for more details.
It was a beautiful Sunday. Mom & dad went to Hainan Island that morning. So i was left with bro at home for 5 days. What is so beautiful about that Sunday? Mwahahaha..... Its another year older for me. I'm officially 23 that Sunday. 23 ONLY ma. haha..
Anyway, i did not plan anything for this year. Was too tired working n all. So i just thought of going out with Jeremy, since parents not in. And maybe a yum cha session after dinner with friends. So that morning, went dim sum with Jeremy's family somewhere in Bkt Bintang. Headed to The Curve after makan, since i wanted to check out the flea market there.When it's almost time for dinner, we left The Curve. I dint know where we are heading for dinner yet. Jeremy has been so secretive over the dinner's venue. Kept on telling me we are going to somewhere with nice environment. So i assume i've never been to "that place". Unfortunately, we were stuck in the jam. He said he made reservation at 7pm. Thinking that we couldn't make it on time, he called "that place" telling them we'll be slightly late.
Still dint know where we are heading. Jeremy told me that place is quite near my house, somewhere in KL. On our way there, our dearest Jeremy told me he needed to go to the toilet. "kap si" wo. He persuaded me that we can make it on time but he really needed settle his "big" business first. He insisted that we go back my house first, settle it and rush over to "that place".
No choice but had to say yes lor.. Reached home. I asked him to hurry up to the toilet downstairs while i go up to settle my "small" business. Just when i wanted to rush upstairs...
SURPRISE!!!!
Walao.. scared the hell outta me... How come there's a bunch of human in my house!
Make a wish, make a wish.~~~ Gosh... It was actually a surprise birthday party planned by my dear. He gave my house keys to one of his best buddy, Mr Toh. And that was how all my friends got into my house.

I finally decided to quit my job. Things has been going from bad to worst which i doubt i can stay any longer in this company. I understand that advertising line is not an easy profession. I'm not quiting bcos of the workload given to me. I enjoyed what I've done so far although I learn the hard way. But imagine, after all the hard work i've done, working overnights and going back on weekends, i find it useless. When people don't appreciate what I've done, there's no point of staying there anymore. I decided to move on. But i'm grateful that i've learn a lot in this company. Colleagues are good. Well, not all i can say. Politics, back stabbing, betrayals. Name it, i've experienced all these in such a short period. It's just not easy to work in an international agency. Within my 7 months of working there, i've attended more than 10 farewells. Just imagine how bad it is. Friends and family has been urging me to leave. I nvr thought of leaving still as i don't want to give up so fast. Eventually, i felt that my patience has reach the limitation. So yeah.This 28th will be my last day. Throughout my journey there, i've met really really nice people. As oppose, i've met really really nasty and dirty people. Thanks to both the nice and nasty people, i learn a lot. I really did. Woo hoo... i'm counting down already!
Some random post to keep my blog alive. ^^Permed my hair 2 weeks ago. It was alright after i walked out of the saloon. But disaster the next 2 day. It looks like i've permed my hair ages ago. Straight, frizzy, dry, split ends. urgh. in short, suck la. I tied my hair for one freaking week man..Pic below was day 2. Still acceptable la.
After one whole disaster hair week, i went back to the saloon. Complained to the stylist upon my unsatisfactory hairdo. Initially i thought maybe bcos i did not do any treatment b4 this, which caused the problem. So my plan is to do treatment n settle it. Then my hairstylist suggested to re-perm my hair with digital perm technique. He said it'll look more natural and wavy. But i have to add another 50 bux for tat la. No free meal in this world. lol. I have to do treatment this time as i cant afford to spoil my hair anymore. I'm doing perming 2 times in one week. Imagine tat.After abt 2 hrs of hair rolling, washing n treating... i'm done. This time i can really see my curls.My hair was utterly yucky for another week. It was dry, brittle, hard, and unnatural. Sighs... really sad lah... Cannot take it anymore. Went n get myself some haircare products for my permed hair. One of my colleague told me to do hair spa. Get a hair mask n do the hair spa myself at home. Bought a bottle of curl serum too. gosh... Too much spending mannn...How do i look now? Much better than the 1st week i reckon.
Some "hiao" session with my bestie. ^^
Oh, n i do think i looked like a poodle after i permed my hair. LOL.
sigh sigh sigh sign n sighssss.....What is going on now?Is it really my problem? This is no good at all.I was helping one my of AD to rush some of his work last nite. Yea, helping kay. He asked me to create some visuals for him and asked me to show it to him the next morning as he gotta rush to somewhere else. And so i did it b4 goin home.To my surprise, when i got into the office this morning, he was sitting at my place. I tot he wanted to improvise my design n show it to clients. BUT NOT. He was creating his own version of the visuals. I kept quiet and stood next to him. After finishing all his designs, he asked me to improvise on one of the visuals which i did last nite. So i did it again.When i came back from lunch this noon, there he was, sitting on my place again. But this time, he was relaunching all my programs. So i suspected my com hanged when he was trying to transfer the files to his com. Part of the things i've done which i din save it, GONE. It wasnt a lot, and i dont mind redoing it. What pisses me off was, that fella is cursing with his well known chinese vulgar words to my poor mac. Saying its dam f**king slow n made my mac hanged.I was very angry as he made my com hanged that time and worst he told me,"Evonne, if you know ur com cannot support so many things, dont keep it. All these (pointing towards the improvise visuals i did) can delete."There and then, he presses the backspace button. Yes, he DELETED MY VISUALS without telling me why. Its like u got killed but yet u dunno the reason. I kept quiet still.1st, he made my com hanged, n i have to redo my stuff. He never apologize.2nd, he deleted the works i did without telling me why.If u were me, wat will u do? I felt so useless. Might as well u do the visuals yourself. Y wanna waste my time?To add my anger, the stupid AD even asked me to mount his stuff onto the a3 mounting board. In a rude way. Without any please or thank you. Nevermind, i do it for him. I started showing my "beh song" face to him. BLACK to him all the time. walao eh... how can this people live on earth? Send him to Mars please. sighs.I didnt want to talk to him the rest of the day. Till abt 6 ish. I was rushing for my own works. He got his feedback for his visuals that he did this morning. Some changes to be made.I sensed he will ask me to do it. He went to the visualizer 1st, but the visualizer were to busy at that time. Then he came to my place. I've guessed it right la, asked me to help out. He saw me doing my stuff. Asked when's my deadline. I told him next morning, n yet he still insist me to do it. WTF! He asked me to work 2gether with the visualizer so that works can be done faster. In my heart was cursing already. What is this! Are you trying to bully me?!!Luckily the visualizer helped me. He told me he'll do all 3 of it. Thank god!Now i clearly know his true colors already. When i couldnt hold my anger anymore, i burst it to a lot of people. I'm surprise to know that, it's not only me who cannot tahan that AD. oh and he's only JUNIOR AD, a 25 year old young guy. Almost all my colleagues cannot take his sucky attitude. I asked one of my ex colleague abt tat guy.XXX says:i think, he is very very bad tempered. and indecisive. not a good person to work with. but an ok friend. he sigh and throw tantrum and make a lot of noise when he's working. super teruk attitude.Thanks babe. (u know who u are) I felt better after talking to you. Looks like i'm not the only one who felt that way. Hey U! if so happen you get to read my blog, behave of yourself. Respect others b4 u gain any respect from them.Thanks to those who console and gave me advises. Appreciate it. :) I'll learn to protect myself, my own rights! Dont u ever try to bully me!
