t.i.n.g.l.y @ll @round

It's a Thursday... 11:46pm.. and I just had a shower after I had got home from work an hour ago. 22 more days till my love gets back from Canberra. It all seems pretty fast, isn't it?. The beginning of the week I had dreaded the week ahead of me - and in exactly 12 minutes, it's Friday again.

This week was.. rather productive. Finally uploaded the 3rd round of amended M&M's website. I was getting sick of the yellow and the.. .. M&M's lentils.. and the smiling red and yellow M&M's with weird eyebrows which looks like moustaches.. The only things that are interesting on that site are the Munch on Music Themes (warning - big files, download only if you have broadband). Designed the DiGi - Initial D Website.. rather shittie-ly done in just under half an hour. .. just for internal communication - so I didn't need to get any sorta formal approval from the clients.

Eve is getting sick of the DiGi yellow too. They have been going on with changes after changes - and I think they are nearing their 500 - umpteenth round of amendments. I am getting sick of the fonts too - they seem to have lost their 'wow' effect on me. Yar.. try staring at them for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.. for 2 weeks - nightmarish, i tell you.. .. Eve would demonstrate the conditions of her stress levels on you with a swipe of her arm.. not before announcing that she's going to slap you left and right and up and down.. and round and round and round we go around the merry-go-round.. ... .. .. (that resembles the DiGi - Wheel of Challenge sticker)

.. .. .... Where was i.. ..

Oh..

The Boss wasn't in for the past few days.. and today he finally decided to get his a$$ down to the office to proof read the draft magazine. Warning - pages and website sucks - takes like the same amount of time for u to run down to the nearest college and pick up a copy (after you wear something else other than your moth eaten pajamas and discoloured undies before u run out), just to download most of the pages - but.. why the hell would u want a copy of the darn magazine? - it's only good to wrap used pads *smirks at Eve* ... Yar.. with 'Whisper' thin pages.. it wouldn't even wrap a nasi lemak properly - don't look at me, i definately have better taste and user-friendly sense.

And just now all of the designers were still at the office.. amending page by page as he scans through each page.. one by one.. Eng Seen and Kok Lee would have grown moustaches resembling the Dumb and Dumberer pair of M&M's eyebrows before he gets to the last page. .. . Eve might also decide to keep a moustache of her own and all three of them can be The Three Stooges.

Well, I did ease their burden by 1% - by designing the layout for my own review of Carnegie's - not after bugging Eve for a few tips and pointers on how to make Illustrator understand my unruly clicks of desperation. Well, I did managed to do the bloody Wheel thingy-ma-jig on my own this time.

The wheel thingy-ma-jig that i keep talking about is a mini wheel of fortune.. 23.2 inches in diameter.. and there would be the sticker to stick on the thingy with penalties or rewards mentioned on it - and no.. i don't think it needs a sexy lady in a skimpy glittering loin cloth to spin the wheel for you. I think Eve would be scared to hear her name after a while... With me sitting within 'poke-cold-finger-into-victim's-side' distance from her, i think we're going to be best buddies for a looooong... loooooooooong time..

And as usual.. the DiGi backdrop and posters are 'superbly-on-schedule'... Yar.. i would more sooner grow a moustache to match the rest of the team - and all of us would be upgraded to become the Freaky Four - before ANYTHING will ever be on schedule. Looks like it's going to be a rushed day tomorrow - ... .. pppfftttt... what's new..

Yes, and I went to Carnegie's on Wednesday night again. Met Elly and Kum Shi (my piggy cousin's brother) - after getting stuck in a jam for nearly an hour.. and Carnegie's is just a road opposite my office building - I quote Eng Seen as he complains about an absurd U-turn to get onto the highway "The damned thing is so near!... It's just there!.. I can flick my cigarette butt onto the bloody highway.. BUT it's so near... YET so *&%#@^ FAR!!!.. ". .. .. Well... .. he did... say something along the same lines, i think.

I had to get my review for the magazine before Jade screws me so.. it was sorta an excuse.. and to kill 3 birds with one stone.
1) To do review to stay straight
2) To listen to what Kum Shi has to say - after bugging me for the past 3 months
3) To 'give' advice to Elly on her interview the next morning - which I believe had definately fallen on deaf ears
.. .. ... I might have needed a 4th stone to poink Elly on the head.

She has been bugging me with the most ridiculous things.. like asking for pictures of her Cleo Bachelor crush when i was in the middle of sorting some 'Miss Ginvera' photos.. not like they are gorgeous things.. but i didn't want to go through the entire '101 candidates for Ms Ah Lian with the crooked-est teeth' list again. It's just all... .. at the wrong timing. I sent her a rather direct SMS to give her a firm HINT that I had better things to handle. I felt bad after that.. .. but being that time of the month and cramps.. I couldn't give 2 farts even if I wanted to.

Kum Shi however, wanted to show me his completed Journal of his multimedia studies. Well, his character drawings has improved.. though he just.. has to fix the faces part - they looked like.. .. mangled versions of the Numb Nuts filled M&M's twins expressions when they realised that their 'skin' melts in one's mouth and not in one's hand. And I did ask him for a little explanation of the complexity or.. shall I say.. . the 'simplicity' and the obvious thoughts of a male mind.

I had never been in a relationship before.. and I don't ... know how to grade myself as a girlfriend. I know my various moods - totalling up to a number somewhere close to the amount of changes needed to get an M&M's poster approved - can be rather irritating and annoying - never knowing what mood am i in. Or even my occasional direct.. and somehow hurtful remarks that i unconciously make could probably bring everything into an abrupt ending.. and there goes the fairytale out of the Windows XP.. and into the Recycle Bin.. (like amended versions #1, #30.56, #59.0d, #103x of the DiGi flyer).

And it's a miracle that I met William - the only person who.. ..can neaarrrlyyyy handle all my sudden 'eruptions' and my occasional sickly sweet voice that I somehow switch on automatically whenever I speak to him on the phone.. plus a lot of other add-ons once you have installed 'Lynn version #22' into your system.. and then you'd need to get the upgrade patches... and the weekly maintenances to keep 'Lynn' from lagging your system and purposely executing various viruses to increase usage and attention from user.. and of course.. there's always the bugs that never seem to be resolved even after add-ons attention.exe and evenMoreLoveAndAttention.exe.

*sighs*... why does everything gets so technical in the end. Or is it just me?..

.. .. .. Ahh.. 12:43am.. Friday morning.. 21 more days till my love comes home. . . .
