Bad NEWS

Before i proceed to the bad news, i would like to share with you an incident this morning. I was still asleep when i received this call from my dad. As every dad would ask an unemployed son, "Did you get a job already?". So in a not so typical reply, i said "No, i'm doing freelance at the moment and won't be planning to get a job. Furthermore my boss gave me a freelance job to do and promised that there will be more to come in the future." He said "OK, then you 'chap sang' (loosely translated ~ You are on your own, son. Don't come home begging if you need money)

I'm targeting at least two jobs per month which is quite good. Can't reveal much more of the figure but just let's say that it will be at least more than 50% more than my last salary. Hey it's better than doing full-time and going for a safe job and permanent employment. I'm have nothing against permanent employment, it's just i felt sometimes it's not worthwhile doing it.

You worked like a bloody dog. You get paid enough, but you are not satisfied. You sacrifice your time to them. Well for us, the slave (designer) we got to work from let's say 9am in the morning till maybe the NEXT FUCKING MORNING (if your luck is bad enough). To make matter worst, it won't last a day or two. You might be getting a Super Combo doing a few days of SLAVERY. To all the designers, "PLEASE WAKE UP. YOU MIGHT LIKE YOUR JOB SO MUCH. BUT YOU DIDN'T REALISE THAT ALL THIS LATE NIGHTS AND ENDLESS WORKING HOURS WILL TAKE ITS TOLL ON YOU HEALTH LATER IN YOUR LIFE. IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR KIDNEY GO BUSTING, PLEASE HEED THIS ADVICE ~ 'former' ARTSlave.

THE BAD NEWS.
Apparently.. LT's boss was not really satisfied with my work. So he decided to 'terminate' me from service. Sigh.. There goes my income. Well.. in a way, i really didnt blame him. I used to curse that particular person if something of a similar incident would happen. But, I've learn to let go. And i plan to get some stuff from him to start a small Little Trees Selling business. How cool was that. Hehe. Be positive. Even you got something bad just happened. You might get another way out. Just hang in there, ya.... AND BE POSITIVE
