i couldn't take it anymore, the project was just killing me, burning my braincells and making me cough out blood. i was about to write an email to her when i decided to ask godiva (my friend, that's not his real name, its to protect his identity) for some bombastic words. he offered to help me with the email, and here's what he came out with. (which was way superb! muacks!)

Hi fucking bitch client of mine, (*LOL)

We have been rushing on the first brochure since June and thank god we are nearing the last leg before we go into production.

I must say it has been hectic these past months.

Before we move further I need to know the absolute timeline for the rest of the 24 brochures. When we met for the first briefing, we were told as from June till Sept, a total amount of 6 brochures are meant to be printed. But,so far none has gone into press.

The first brochure is taking far too long 2 1/2 months to be precise. Is this working process and timeline indicative for the rest of the 24 brochures. Because if it is, I wont be available to see thru till the last brochure is printed.

Based on the premise of 6 brochures in 2 1/2 months, we have already allocated 4 months for this whole project.

But based on how the first brochure has been handled taking 2 1/2 months it seems that we need 5 years till completion!

This is something i cannot commit.

The brochure is very labour intensive. 2 illustration, 20 icons and 80 pages layout.

Another issue. The ICONS. When we agreed to throw that in for free our expectation was around the range of 5 icons at the most. We had to do 20 icons for the first brochure. 20 icons!. That is massive. 20 icons for free, x 24 brochure, we are looking at 480 FREE ICONS. We need to sit down and discuss this further. We need to come to a compromise and work out how many icons will be for free and how many will be chargeable.

Our charges on this project is more than modest, extremely modest if I may say so. At $---- inclusive of 2 illustrations, 20 icons and 80 page layout. Our cost is a steal.

How the first brochure has been handled will be deprimental on all involved in this project.

We need to a post-mortem, we need to move faster and work smarter. Please call me when we can discuss.

he did a marvelous job! i am ever so thankful! 3 cheers for godiva!

after school today, i was walking with my classmate to the MRT station, and we took the same train even.

Then we were talking about the ... *ahem* education system in singapore, india and in the united states & about the internal security of each country. never in my lifetime did i imagine that i will be in such a serious topic. maybe its time to grow up, or grow old rather. we agreed that singapore is the safest place to stay in, but the american education system is way better and interesting than ours. boy, do i feel so brainy now. did you see the light blub glowing behind my head?

anyway, after we both split, i went to the esplanade again. whilst walking there, i stopped over at the bookstore at citi link. i was looking at some children's books when this plumish uncle asked me.

uncle :you teacher ah?

me :me? teacher? *silly giggle* no way.

uncle :*suddenly turns to the left & spots this shelf over piled with books that was going to drop over any minute* you becareful ah! this shelf going to drop over. *nag, nag, complain complain*

me : ok, i will be careful. thank you *but i am no where near that shelf*

i continued to look at the books and 5 minutes later the uncle came back with a sale assistant. *complain, complain, nag nag* you shouldn't put so much books here, they are going to drop any minute. wait hurt people how?

me : (-__-)|||

but WAIT! that wasnt the end! and so, from citilink, i walked to the library at the esplanade. after 15 mins of looking for tango music (which after i found it, the fine print said not for loan)

then suddenly! i heard the most familiar voice of the day!

uncle :hey! you again! *hehe* such a small world! you walked here also?

me : (-__-)||| hehe hallo again. yes, i walked here.

uncle :you also like music?

me :yes, yes. :)

uncle :what kind of music are you looking for? *points to behind me* there got somemore, and they also have music scores

(note that, as a premium member of the library, you can borrow classical music cds which i have 0 idea about)

me :hehe, you see me too highly lah, i can't play any musical instrument.

uncle :really? dont lie. you look like someone who can play an instrument

me :no, really, i seriously can't play

uncle :*tells me some of his history* apparantly he can play the piano quite well, from what he says.

uncle :by the way, which country are you from?

me :huh? me singaporean

uncle :oh really? you don't look like one. :)

and then he walks away. i did wonder if he was stalking me. *lol* but i don't think i am that appealing so... i told myself, that's alright, i made a weird uncle friend today.

just when i thought all was well, the shit started pouring in again. changes, changes and more changes! why don't you just change your head to another person's head when you feel like it?

Its just pure IRRITATING! i would like to digress, if you dont understand my simple english. I T S F A R K I N G I R R I T A T I N G!!! opps, did i say fark? pardon my french aye.

Its been like 10 over rounds of changes and you are only paying me peanuts that is not even enough to buy me anti-depressant pills, not enough to make me a pair of spectacles, just because i have been staring at the screen for more than 20 hours a day. thank you so much for being so considerate. may i wish that your eye balls meet their doomsday sooner than me.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
_-- to be continued (dinner time, damn hungry, havent got lunch nor breakfast and turning aneroxic)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------cont'd

ok, i am full and satisfied now. but i am still blardy P|SS3D! just let me nag and get rid of my grievances. (its already been scientifically known that women just like to tell their problems to someone who is willing to listen, but men are the opposite, they just keep quiet)

anyway... i can never move on to a new project, i don't have a life, i don't have free time, i am broke and you even expect me to work on weekends!

why dont you just hire a maid and train her to do design. she probably can help you iron clothes with her left foot whilst she is busy doing your inconsiderate amendments on the computer! better still if you had just gone poo poo and asked the maid to clean ur butt, and she used the iron instead of toilet paper, cos she was too busy changing your crap work for the 1876354 time. oh gwad! your poor buttock will have a iron tattoo! but... Serve you damn right! *BLEH*

i have nothing against maids, i am just making a point here. i pity most maids, in fact. once i saw a mother and child in "yoshinoya" the mom ordered a chicken bowl for herself and one for her daughter. they both look like gluttons eating the pippin hot bowl of rice, while the maid sat there and watched. the mom finished hers, and the daughter finished most of the chicken and 1/2 of her rice. when she told her mom she didnt want anymore, the mom asked the maid to finish the left over rice and 2 miserable pieces of chicken.

what kind of employers are those? making your maid eat leftovers. I was very young then, but i felt furious and a huge sense of anguish all in me. I believe that one should be rightfully awarded for their hard work. If i was this age at that time, i would have probably made a big hoo ha.

maids are people with feelings too! just remember "life is like a boomerang, when you throw it out, it will definately come back to you."

unjustice! this world is pure unfair. rich people sit on expensive couches, waiting and they just get sudden windfalls and become doubly richer. poor people starve and fight for their livelihood and in the end are not rewarded for their hard work.

anyway... this is my fate, like the chinese saying,"we are all human beings but we all lead different lives"

so after all my complains, i still have to do my idiotic work. work or money, work or money, no work means no money. i am waiting for the day to come, that day which i will strike it rich and i will sit on expensive couches like rich people do.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

on a lighter note, i was talking to someone just now, and she was talking about this girl(A) we all didn't like. everyone hated talking to her cos it simply turns them off. we were laughing when she said we should let girl A be stuck in a room with this guy (B).

and then she asked me what will i do if i was stuck in a room with her (girl A)? and i said in my utmost honour, "i'd rather masturbate then be a lesbian". i thought that was pretty good myself. *grin*

*LOL* my friend asked me to jot it down somewhere, probably one day i can accumulate all my cruel and evil jokes and probably even print a book.
