hm.

i just saw my annual review from my art director this year, was good 1 grade higher then last year but the increase was sight ~ it looks like i have to move on to somewhere else to develop my skill after all creative agency is where im looking for ogivily is where im going for =).

all the best and thanks for teaching me so much.

erase all

how good will it be to erase all those sad memories and live happily. hais~

the battle

having to said so the battle continues for another day, obviously i didnt win in situation like that but i think i fought back and won my teammate respect, i give myself 90marks for this. people like to push the blame to each other and draw a line in cases like this when problem arise haha, maybe i didnt care about it much after all i know if i tender now my next pay will be at least 10% higher then this so do i care?.

however just like what chaim see tong did even he lost in bishan he won everyone's respect which is very remarkable and respectable. i realize i've grow up suddenly realizing i cannot always agree with what they say i have to voice out and fight for myself. lastly i still have my PRIDE as a designer.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
actually, i'm so glad this thing happened

a good wake-up call for the team

"if you need someone to be accountable for this then i will"
Thank you for taking accountability, Zhi Wei.
This is a compliment, actually, because not many here do.
At least from the many people that I've come across.
Some talk and talk and talk but when you ask them will they take responsible for carrying out a particular task,
suddenly there's a deafening silence and you find the person ten feet away from you.

"i believe no one is perfect neither am i"
Totally. Me neither.
Let the person who thinks he is perfect cast the first stone.

"However would appreciate if everyone follow the timeline stated and submit their portion on time"
It's sad this has to be raised to the team thru this episode, but it's necessary to say it to everyone's face.
And I'll leave it to the driver of eNewsletters to decide how to manage or enforce this.
I'm not saying there will never ever be late submission.
There will be times when last minute stuff surfaces.

"i notice test blast sometimes serve a visual reference as 1st draft for some of the people to check their portion rather then looking at the jpeg i send"
We can't control other people's actions.
If they choose to do only one check (or don't check every single sentence or link, etc) it's their choice.
If there's any cockup that is due to the person's neglience, they take accountability. Not you.

Aloysius does ask the team to check their respective areas twice.
Once at first draft, another time after test blast.

Meanwhile, designers do checks that fall under their responsibility.
And checking to ensure tracking code is inserted into the eNewsletter is one of them.

"i dont have the luxury time of 1day gap to check and verify "my portion". Has anyone even look into my problem?"
No more Mr Nice Guy.
Don't be nice. Be firm.
Indicate the time you need to do your necessary check.
Do not because of last minute changes or submission caused you to skip your own checks.
Whoever submit late materials, they are responsible for causing the delay. Not you.
Tell OIC you cannot deliver final output in time because you need to do your own check.
If you are not given the time as you have already specified that is needed to check, ask the person will he take over your responsibility if errors occur.
If eBlast is delayed due to reason of late submission of materials, you are not responsible, the one who caused the delay is.
Never, never, skip your own checks, because you are accountable for them. Not others.
Don't let anyone say why you didn't do your checks.
You have every right to be given time to do your own checks.

Just to clarify for the rest, this email thread is NOT about Zhi Wei forgotten to check the tracking code in last month's eNewsletter...

Well i made a mistake for this i apologise, if you need someone to be accountable for this then i will. i believe no one is perfect neither am i, after all in a environment like this its about we helping each other together we learn we improve and move on.

However would appreciate if everyone follow the timeline stated and submit their portion on time, and i notice test blast sometimes serve a visual reference as 1st draft for some of the people to check their portion rather then looking at the jpeg i send? Besides that last minute amended on content and stuff like that?...

Facing all problems stated above, i dont have the luxury time of 1day gap to check and verify "my portion". Has anyone even look into my problem?

Lastly i think i have done my very best, Thank you! ☺

Best Regards,
Zhiwei

the rain never stops raining... maybe it ends here.

Yes cosyiris website is up
www.cosy-iris.com

sometime i just feel that i'm lucky i got a boss that is willing to teach me as in she's really zai in her stuff. my design can change up to 4-5 times sometimes although feeling frustrated but i believe patient is the main key attribute a designer needs... at least i know im learning everyday. so, thank you kelly.

YES YOU ARE VISTING THE RIGHT BLOG I JUST CHANGE MY THEME


yap i'm kind of tie up with my work recently and feeling kind of lazy to actually blog. haha just came back from taiwan last month and my mailbox was flooded for 1week lol 62 mail? did i mention taiwan yes was a 7days trips with my family was so fun and memorable, looking forward for my next trip yeap.... and woot finally my own cubicle after suffering in that room for more then 6months... =) my portfolio section link is up, hopefully when my website is ready i'll get a hosting. =)

as i was walking down to office today i was thinking real hard cos it takes like 15minutes to reach there from yck station. at the rate im going now seriously i dont think i will gain any portfolio at office no project always give me lame stuff do, other then that nothing to really complain about the pay is obviously good and working hour is like good also. if people take 2 year to become senior designer i think i will take 5 year or more depending on where im working on haiz sian, i really need to think it before i go to study degree and work again. maybe my initially my plan was to reach senior web designer at like when i 27-28? but after i calculate i dont think can eh with the rate im progressing im like too slow man, so the conculsion is i have to work on these myself and progressive and be a self-educated .

2010

Woot 2010, im 24 this year sigh~ the no. keeps getting bigger which frustrate me a lot now adays.
its true in project runway she say, in design one day you're in the other day you're out. welcome to the design world. sounds EMO right every ep i see i feel so emo just dunnoe how they manage to come out with the design in 1 day and execute it maybe it really need a lot of talent and .. guess i'll end here figure out yourself on this then... =)

Bless,
`didi

hm.

hm.. have to change my blog template to let my posts continue running no idea what happen to the previous coding maybe too much thread .

degree?

haiz~ sometime i really wonder if a degree is really that important how come like all the people in my company is a degree holder does it really helps for a designer to get a degree after all its just a paper qualification ... who knows ,but who dont want to study eh is only whether got use a not. aiiyah.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

thanks for all the wishes you all gave me so appreciated. happybirthday to myself 1 year older, and no i dont sound happy at all i just fall sick yesterday and i feel like dying my head is spinning like a rollercoaster the floor is shaking and i cant stand properly, now i could only rest on the bed. sigh~ just when i plan to go swimming today i cant... =(

now is finding job you know its not easy i was behind time 2 years and my folio kind of like rusty no works to show. i send resume just like spamming email send nearly 25liao only got 7 interview 3 replies. it wasnt easy seriously sometimes i actually think am i really too lousy in this or are they too picky asking for too much they want cheap and good? get bangala? .can you feel it jobless for 1month going for interview and interview hopping for a chance , feeling useless cause they didnt took you in. spend nearly 17k studying in school and no job? wtf am i going to be like 1 of them?...go back sign on military work as sales boy coffeboy? again see their face. i told myself no way this is what i want.. i tot i was asking for too much sometime i backtrack and think again i wasnt actually its only whether they wanna give a not. lucky my parents didnt pressure me cause my family income still soso la. so ya finally im found even better then i expected.=D

the first interview wasnt really very good i think he tot i got too little works to show and demostrate my skill. so slash me down . no reply.
the second one only offer 2-3months contract ... no future. i can forsee this.
then after that i really spend 1 whole week doing more stuff up and finally i got my ass secure =D
hardwork didnt gone to a waste yaa.
and then finally the third one offer me slightly higher then my target price yap. for a start is pretty much i can say that for a design position.
im not sure how much others are earning but this will not be the mark off price i will strive for even more way to go =DDDD
so happy nothing can actually describe how i feel now .
