Hmm, after so dragging my feet for the past whole week, i finally managed to clear wk 5, and getting on with wk 6. There is good and bad news to be told actually, i guess i will start with the bad one first. The one and only designer left in the company is ME! as my other partner apparently had to go for reservist for at least 2 weeks. Means in the next two week, as long there is design work that can be entrusted me to do, i believe they will chunk anything and everything they can at me while they can. Maybe i told a few people about this, but i don't remember blogging it out. After i got my first pay cheque from the company, they gave me according to the number of days i reported for work, and so i also calculated back in the same manner and found out that actually, I'm only being paid $0.90/hr as an intern designer. Also my working hours are 9-6 and may seem normal compared to some other jobs, but getting paid in that amount and doing as thought I'm being paid at $9/hr. I know I'm going there to learn and experience real life, but $10/day is really too little for I'm paying for my own lunch at CBD area. The most budget i could go was $3 without drinks, and i will feel hungry at around 5+ so i also don't know to describe it.
Anyway, i got my wk 5 results from the technical manager and i was seriously kinda surprised at the grade he gave me. Not that i don't deserved it, but i believed I've been slacking more than i did during the first four weeks. Maybe cause i have more work to do, and I've been able to clear most of my designs within 2 mock ups nowadays. Talking about it now makes me think about tomorrow's work cause i really dragged my feet for this one mock up and somehow i don't feel good about it at all, worse is i don't know how to go about salvaging the whole overall look even after spending at least 2-3 hours researching on relevent websites.
As the grade shows for Week 6,
Conduct: B
Performance: A
Attendance: Regular

Been almost a week since i last blogged in an entry, though i'm either at work or sleeping once i reach home so there isn't much or interesting stuff i can be blogging about. But i can't just leave it empty all the time, so here i am going to say hopefully some wise words for those who will read.
I was thinking while looking at my counter in my blog, the stats is 8880 currently and how long since it has been that i finally decided to open up a blog to put something useful to it. The number may seems to be alot to many, but after calculating it, it can only be calculated to about 370 hits in one month. Thinking through all the months, i think almost 1/4 of it was clocked by me, so i would really like to say thank you to all that has even come. I know it has been getting abit slow in the entries compared to the previous times, hopefully i was able to share my life experience with many of the people that came across my life.
Tomorrow is back to work again, for yet another week. Maybe i was trying too hard to make my life as exciting as it used to have? Done quite alot of reflecting and thnking back moments during this 'free' period in my life im going through now. I guess maybe i should be trying to adapt the current situation than keep thinking i was used to be what i was.
Look into the future, make the past a lesson and live on with the present. . . .
Just some random thoughts by me,
Been a while since. . . i last had my glory days in the gaming world in Singapore platforms
Been a while since. . . i tasted what it like to be loved by someone
Been a while since. . . i last felt so fulfilled doing something ever since i ended secondary school
Been a while since. . . a chance was given to me to prove my worth in something i yearn so much
Been a while since. . . i last talk to her in months?
well, the list goes on but its time to change and adapt to my current lifestyle i guess. I was and never will be the same as i used to be i guess. There is something that has been going on for a long time already, yet its been dragging on for some time already.. .. ..
Bah, i'm lost of words):
I believe the title has already stated clearly, though it was just because i couldn't think of a better title to start off with. Already drained out 9 hours facing the computer, coming home and facing the computer and have to think of a nice title is quite challenging for me as its really mentally draining i suppose.
Its currently on my 4Th week of my attachment in the company, can't really say that I'm very happy working there, or very unhappy either. Either way, i still have to work out this 5 weeks and also take leave to be able to attend FOC 08/09. Finally today received my pay although the contract signed was to be given 1st of every month, doubt this clause can be achieved since i will also be skipping the 1st of this coming April due to FOC. And after you read that i already got my pay and you think I'm rich enough already, think again. . . After much calculation and thinking about it during my dreaming periods at work, I've got very very little with me, and my thought of reaching 4 digits is always hard cause of many reasons. If only i can get back all my bad debts, i should be reaching my target pretty soon.
Well, enough of that money stuff. Talking about it doesn't really makes the money appear and banked in into my account. While i completed most of my tasks assigned to me, i had to think of something do to move the time faster especially since I'm sitting right beside my supervisor. Even if i slacked off, i also don't dare to slack too long since my grades are mostly in his hands. Finally got back my Logbook together, with the 2ND and 3rd week grading out. He recommended me to draw more diagrams and pictures to give more impression to the description but i only drew some sketches on the first week and i was already told not to do such things that may give out 'company secret'. So how should i go about drawing or sketching out some storyboard of many of my website mock ups done for the client and not give out 'company secrets?'. The only way i can think of is take away all the pictures or logo that is shown in the mock up. And if i would to take that out from the sketches, it would only mean its only left with the layout of the whole website with lots and lots of blanks. Maybe i can try to do one of this days after work so as to remember the good points of each and every website i did that i could use again as a template for my final year project next year. Never know when i will need to use such resources learned in attachment for final year since i think I'm the only one being kinda exploited in any ways.
Guess its also time to end all my grumbling about my company, since its not really entirely all that bad, at least i have 3 work mate that die together along with me, and most of their advice given were really to help me ensure i can at least get a B grade from the supervisor. The only method to get a satisfactory grade from my supervisor is to be earlier than him everyday at work which is god knows what time he comes. Well, i shall also end off with my overall grading for Wk2 & 3.. Its the same actually so lets not waste space.
Conduct: B

As i said in the beginning. Four Ongoing Five More to go & missing her day and night.
