I had a bad day

Recently i'm working on Honda Account on their invitation cards. After some chaotic moments of amendments, and printing out proofs for the invitation cards, the files are ready to be send out to printer.

By right, before files to be sent out to printer, it has to be proof check by art director, copywriter, the account manager and also the clients to reassure there are no mistakes. Even myself have to triple check the files, making sure it is the right one. If anything goes wrong, normally designers will get the blame as we are the one who did the artwork.

So, after sending out the files last 2 days, my AD got a call from the printer this morning. The printer asked about the dates in the invitation cards. As i'm doing 2 different versions for customers and media side, both RSVP dates are different. I started panicking after my AD asked me about it. Right away check my files again. Yeah, it has 2 different dates. OMG. I'm dead this time. How could this happen to me? I called the printer again to see what can be done.

Me: Hello Ms. XXX, this is Evonne calling from XXX. Just wanna check about the invitation card's date.

Printer: There's nothing can be done already now! Everything has been printed and we are rushing to courier it right now! (in a very angry tone)

Evonne: I'm sorry about this. I'll check with my AD and see what can be done on our side. Thanks, bye.

Hung up...... tut tut tut tut....

I tried explaining to my AD. B4 the files were sent out, the account manager (Mr. L) did came to my place and did the amendments himself. I wasn't sure what he amended in my files also. I did not jump to the conclusion n blame it all to Mr. L before i get the confirmation abt the dates error.

But what's weird is, isn't all this supposed to be checked thoroughly before sending out to the printer?

Luckily Mr. AD sided me. Same goes the rest in the Creative group. According to my other colleagues, Mr. L already well known for his unorganized work, and blaming other people for his own fault. Not sure how true is this but i just really wanna find out which is really the right date.

While all these were happening, the Mr. L wasn't in the office.

Just right after lunch, Mr. L came to my place.

Mr. L: Evonne, can i talk to you?

Me: Yeah, i know its about the card isnt it? Is it about the dates?

Mr. L: The dates are correct. It's different for both cards.

phewwww.....

Mr. L: But there's another minor mistake u've done. Can u open the file that i've gave u?

shit.... panic... stress.... sighs...

Mr. L :Look at this, u typed it wrongly. Instead of Mr., u typed in Ms. The file that i gave u, its the right one. I did not change this one. I'm not blaming you here Evonne. I just wanna let u know. Luckily the client did not say anything about this. We've already printed out stickers to paste on it.

Speechlesss.........................

I reckon Mr. L is trying to defend himself. It's really strange. How could this be wrong. I just copy and paste from the files he gave me earlier. But again, remember i said about the proof check? I admit i made the mistake, but i've reminded Mr. L to check the spelling million times. Plus i've already printed out so many copies, y no one spotted my mistake? It's unfair if i were the only one to be blamed on right?

No choice but to apologize to Mr. L, as it is still my mistake. I told my AD the whole story about this. He did not blame on me as he also knew what Mr. L is like.

Sigh.BIG lesson learn. I had a bad day @ work today. :(

Reunited and it feels so good

It feels really good when u meet up with a long lost friend. Well, not really that long lost anyway.

Met up with my favorite girl, Amanda 2 days ago for lunch, together with Johnny. She was my colleague when i was working part time in Melbourne. She flew down from Sydney, to Singapore and took a coach to KL. Tho we known each other for, erm.. maybe couple of months, it feels like forever. She's only 17 this year, but to me she's a very mature thinking girl with cheerful and bubbly personality. That's y i liked her so much. ^^

Glad she managed to meet up with Johnny and I in Mid Valley during our lunch time. To Dome we go...

Groupie...


Us




We took heaps of pix as we dont know when are we gonna meet again.

There's Johnny... n i oopss... erm.. wat did i do to him, i barely remember.. :P

My Cajun Chicken. Tastes good.. yummm...

Aiks.. too happy till eyes half closed..


Us again..

Time flies during happy moments and its time for me to leave.. Gotta get back to off...

Take care babe. Have a safe journey back Sydney. And also don't give up on your dream to Parson Sch of Design. :)

Not too bad afterall

In fact, I do enjoy what i'm working on now in office except for what I've stated in the previous post. The accounts that i'm doing now is pretty interesting. My favorite one would be the Levi's Strauss Account. I'm currently doing their Fall / Winter Brochure for 2008. Went for the photo shooting 3 weeks ago. I was impressed with the whole process. It was tiring but fun as i get to experience to whole shooting progress. The setting up, lighting, props..

The 2 days shooting were held at several locations. One was at KLPAC, Sentul, another at Tasek Simen, Cheras. The 2nd day itself were at the studio itself. The best thing abt the shooting was, i get to see cute guys and hot chick! hahaha...

1st location: KLPAC, Sentul. Very nice greenery place.


Here comes the model. Jenna, from the states.

Brazilian cutie, Alex. ^^

Groupie with Vespa.

The couple, Felipe n Nara. Both from Brazil too. Oh yeah, they are a lovey dovey couple. Kiss n hug each other whenever they can.. ^^ free show for us lah. ~~ haha

To the 2nd location : Tasek Simen. An abandoned factory near Taman Maluri.




Day 2: Studio shooting





Oh, n i made frens with this 18 year old hot chick, Jenna. She's friendly n down to earth. Her features reminds me of Mandy Moore as at a sight glance, she does look like her.

Oh besides shooting, i went for Levi's "Live Unbuttoned" Launching Party last week too. Have to thank my AD who gave me a chance to go for both shooting and the launching party. More exposure, he says. ^^ The launching party were held at The Actors Studio, BSC. Plenty of local celebs were invited to the party too. Hmm... cute guys again! haha..

There's Jien, making some funny faces when he was asked to pose.

Spot Joey G, the ex Channel V presenter, also Will Kuah, Owen Yap, Adam C, presenter from 8tv. Not too sure who are the rest tho. Last year's CLEO's bachelor winner was there too.

The reporters...

I forgot what's the girl's name on my left. She's from Ogilvy. On my right, the ever lovely Yen, the Sr. Account Exec. in my company.

Lady in pink, some top ppl in Levi's. Next to her, Michele, our Account Manager. Thanks to her for inviting me over to the party too. :)

Told ya its not too bad after all. :)

After 2 months of working...

1. Dinner at 8,9,10 or sometimes 11pm.
2. Looking forward for weekends, but sadly it passes by so fast that i don't even feel it.
3. Colleagues.. still cannot click that much with them. I wonder why.
4. Felt invisible, miserable and unmotivated as sometimes my works are not appreciated.
5. Leaves office at 9pm, and Mr. Boss said "Wah, working halfday ah?"
6. Mr. Boss likes staff who stays up late and better still overnight in the office.
7. Record for staying up OT in the office. Latest 2am. Earliest 7.45pm.
8. Still paying RM6 everyday for parking as no allowance were given to me yet. :(

Hope it gets better as time goes. Don't feel like giving up this job yet.
