Can't believe I actually got off work early today! Yeay! Can't believe I actually got time to blog!! Yeay Yeay!! And I can't freaking believe a client actually emailed to tell me she's gonna owe me money!!! TRIPLE BOO~! Asses.
So yeah, managed to finish up tons of projects in a really short period of time to earn some bucks for the show. It's tough man, considering there are people concerned who are not as concerned, and people whom are helping out showing more concern than the people concerned. But well, I move along.
But well, nonetheless, this MacKid HappyKid's gonna sleep early! Happy Friday cyberspace!

I'm an Aquarian, the kind of individual where world peace and inventions take precedence over all else; war is redundant, and mass destruction is a no-no. Acres of fields and cosmopolitance rules the day.
So when it came to the point when I was being reprimanded for not paying attention to my work by a client earlier on, I felt insulted. Let me explain: the source materials were submitted on Tuesday, and he wanted to see it today. What normally takes 3 to 5 days are effectively condensed to a mere 12 hours. He was, of course, anticipating we work round the clock for him and deliver what is required.
And he isn't paying more to get it done in such a short span of time.
I'm not money-backed. But with more budget, I can hire more hands, get more work done, therefore delivering 3 to 5 days work in a mere 16 hours.
And so I didn't realise some parts of the work was repeated. Let me explain: he needs to send me the full details and files for me to work on. It's like, if I'm a chef, and he buys me all the ingredients to make a cake based on his designs, I'll just bake it. But his design could be different for each part of the cake, and some parts were repeat design. That, he claims, I should pay attention to and alert him.
But I'm just putting together and producing whatever he requires, no? Then why should I question his designs, when he designed it in such a way?
I smiled as he lectured me, and was really apologetic about not discovering the repeats, which is now effectively my fault. So now he's made changes to the designs on the spot, creating something new along the way, and he's happy.
I've learnt to take blames. Why? Because I am hungry. I wasn't born with a silver spoon. When I wanted to study music, mom only looked at me and asked, "and where are we going to get the money?"
That's my story. I'm hungry, and I can't help it. Especially when the same group of people who have denied me my place and capabilities are now the ones asking me for money.
It's all just about money. Money. Money. Money.
Folks, if I have my way, I'd rather not deal with any of these. I'd rather be by the beach, bar tending and sky watching.
That dream draws close now. Cos my life is about up, and so much time has been wasted working, caring, loving, giving, and patronising people, I totally lost touch with myself.
Sure, then start now, why not? Let me explain: I have a garden filled with flowers. The garden has lots of varieties of flowers. It started with a single stalk of marigold. And now, it has many other kinds of flowers. I have to tend to all of them, no? How can I just rid them and leave myself basking in the sun?
BUT, if I make enough money, hire a gardener to tend the garden, then I wouldn't hurt the flowers, and I can go basking in the sun on my own no?
Dumb analogy I know, but how else to throw away things when so many things are counting on me? I didn't ask people to count on me really, but some people just fall on my laps some times. It's like, I didn't grow roses or tulips... people grew them in my garden and went away.
Oh well. Blog, you're a fine listening ear.

I love being stuck in situations sometimes, cos it forces me to rethink a lot of strategies and living in my life. Not to mention, it stirs up the no-choice attitude, whereby datelines need to be met immediately or face the consequences.
So such is my life for the last 3 weeks, where gloominess is replaced by hectics, and loneliness accompanied by work.
Mega plans on the drawing block that cannot make more sense than now: I've got renovations in November, and we're doing shows in December - everyone talks only about money to me, and all I ever know now is work to pay everyone else but me. It's ok, I'm just indebted, despite the long hours that will kill me no sooner.
It's ok. I shall work till I collapse for the goons with money stuffed skulls.
I've got brains, and they are just slowing frying over in the pan, well-done, none rare.
Yes yes, morbid post. But hey, goes to show I still love myself a lot by letting it all hang out. You can't imagine, the other 2 blogs are truly behind by MONTHS, one, about to reach a year worth of total silence, except for occasional festive greetings.
Anyway. This year be the last where I spend time working PRO BONO for unappreciatives. You guessed it, I'm swindled again. But, that's me. Not gentle, nice nor warm, just pure stupid.
Took me 10 years to learn to say 'no' finally. Gonna put that to good use, and perhaps buffer some time while I readjust my chair to face more sun than rain.
Well, I'm back here in the office. 2 more eps to go! Gonna head home about 4am I guess.

I think we're trying to fight bots here that are leaving dumb messages on the posts... Although some are seriously quite entertaining...
I've been hit by this wave of disappointment, or rather, you're looking at gold you can't pick up... It's tough because it pops up in my face and I can do nothing about it... ARGH. This should be more frustration I suppose.
Anyway, thrashed weekend again. Hate it.

Okay, so then me + Alan were like bored...

It's been really taxing, running so many projects simultaneously is really taking its toil. Not helping when clients are continuously throwing spanners at me to fulfill their little wild egos, just because it's not their problem, it becomes mine.
Yes, that big burly ass called me around 2 hours back just so that he can hit his deadline, maligning me of not making clear of the situation to him. And when I finally said I'll do it, he's tone so totally changed. I mean, isn't that outright bullying?
And this afternoon, that bitch nearly had me down at the studios, just so that she could finish her work because someone else delayed her. I resisted, and told her to drop the stuff off in the mailbox and leave. Instead, she wrote me a seriously long letter enclosed in the package, dictating my work. I can't stand it seriously. It's just too awesomely dumb.
If this goes on, I wouldn't have any more wonderful news to report hear anymore, and I might just start writing in #2 cos it won't be bright and sunny here no more.
So yeah, now while waiting for things to move, I'm lamenting my frustration here in this little corner in cyberspace.
Sucks.
