Blood test BLUES

Thursday was the day. Yup, went for my first ever blood test. Not trying to make it scary now...

But seriously, it WAS scary right? Two dark formally dressed men marched in to my office that day, carrying a box of "what-seemed-to-be" blood test kits. Oh, crap my blood test tourettes is acting up! :)

Since it was my first test, I had no idea how big.... or small the needle was. Maybe its those usual needles they usually use, so I thought. But alas, when they took it out.... it was a FRIGGIN HUGE ONE! (didn't take a pic, darn!)

I had to pay 50 bucks for it. The rest, company sponsor... but of course, they will deduct from our salary... bummer.

Ponder, ponder...

It's been awhile...lately for the past 2 months I've been busy working from 9am - 6pm at my company, and I had only nighttime to provide me some freedom. Currently working as a graphic cum multimedia designer, my job involves doing multimedia presentations and some graphic designing on the sideline.

Two months didn't seem like a long time, but I've learned many things about my job scope, like how to do mock-ups for clients, how to do presentation boards, etc.. I enjoy it, and what's more, get paid for it :P

Now, for the techie side of me:

I once thought that a Mac would be very hard to use, as it was very new to me. As I needed a new computer for my final-year college assignments (my desktop was darn slow, a Pentium 4 computer), I got a PC instead.
That was last year.

Now in my office, I'm using a Mac Pro (OS X Leopard) computer, which is very different from my current laptop PC (Windows Vista Home Basic) that I'm using right now, since last year. I mean, I grew up with Windows! It should be very difficult switching from one OS (Operating System) to another.

But surprisingly, I find it so easy to use! I took about 10 minutes get used to it, then I'm off designing. The interface is so much convenient, as all your files are on the desktop. No need to go into My Computer-C:-Program Files-bla bla bla anymore, your file would be staring at you in the face. And plus, according to Apple, no viruses. That means no more updating antivirus programs, no more constantly reformatting your hard drive, no more User Account Control like Vista!

If you still miss Windows, Mac OS X is able to install Windows as well. So you can switch from one OS to another with just a touch of a button! Better install Windows XP, Vista has many software compatibility issues.

Now if I want to compare with Vista, I think I'll choose the Mac. I'm already planning to save up to buy a MacBook Pro 13" (yea, there's one thing about Apple-pricey).

Now what am I gonna do with my laptop PC? Lol! Still figuring it out... sell? Keep?

Long day...

Just came back from Berjaya Times Square. My journey begins at 2.00pm, ending at 9.15pm, with a few of my high school buddies. It's been awhile since we last hung out, so we decided to go to multiple places to celebrate our little reunion.

We first stopped at the Times Square to have a Krispy Kreme snack, which I did not ate, for I was still full from my lunch. Walked around the complex after that, looking for "unexplored" shops or sections. We headed off to Bentley's along the Bukit Bintang street to look at guitars and drums, while fantasizing about how cool it would be to own them, bla bla bla.... we're the music freaks....

Went to Low Yat Plaza after that for some computer gazing. Lots of computers and lappies on display, while spotting a mini lappie with 10-12" screen, and a guy playing DOTA on it! (how cool is that?!) It would be great to have one that's small, light, and powerful, which you could bring to any location possible. But still, I think I'll stick with the MacBook.

Hey, I'm a designer, aren't I?

Boredom....

I am so bored. That's what I would describe after graduating from college on April. It's the last week of May, and still no word about the job I got from the company. You see, I missed their 4-day training at Mid Valley, which commenced a week after my interview because of some unfinished business that I need to take care of. I did notify them earlier, and they said that they would call me if they organized another training session. But so far, nothing. Maybe they didn't want me anymore.... who knows? XD Jobs are always available...

But its getting really frustrating week after week looking up at JobStreet, and finding very limited graphic designer jobs, sometimes none at all. Is it like this all the time, or is it because of the current global economic crisis that is affecting the creative industry, I wonder?

Talking about further studies, I think I'd lay it off for a while. I want to experience working enviroment, not only to gain experience, but to also earn some cash. Hey, worth it right? Hehe.

To see the Wolverine in action

To escape the boredom of staying at home, my brother and I decided that we should get out of the house at least one time by ourselves. It was a good idea, music to my ears. Since my diploma course ended 3 months ago, and my bro's SPM last year, it WAS a good idea.

We decided to go for a movie at KLCC. Very convenient, easily accessible by LRT line. And who would've thought, that you could see A. Samad Said in front of your eyes, waiting for the LRT? Yes, he was there. My brother grabbed my shoulder and whispered," Is that A. Samad Said? ". It came as no surprise to my friend, whom has seen our beloved Malaysian poet almost everyday at the LRT station.

We booked our 1.45pm tickets to X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Wolverine is all raged up in this movie, I tell ya that! And a great pleasure to our eyes. Many X-Men legends made a cameo appearance there too! Gambit and Cyclops included!

Watch the movie, lots of action scenes, and you could capture a glimpse of your favorite X-Men characters, live on the silver screen. If they're there.... May not be satisfying to my eyes, but definitely worth watching.
