A kiss from a rose

Tuesday. 

Is it really Tuesday?

The last week of my 'holidays' slavery-days are pretty packed.

God knows what I did on Monday. I swear it was Sunday when I last checked and when I finally resurfaced from the insane amount of work that kept me inundated, it was 3am.

8 more albums to go T_T

Ah wells. At least its a Tuesday:3 And Tuesdays are shooting days with the IFC choir<3

I swear this choir is one of my last link to documentary photography. Read, shooting what I like and for myself. Although it is getting a little editorial/ miniature-ly commercial-ish now that I have to produce something for them. Two sessions of play is enough. Now the real work begins 8D

Wednesday would be my little date with Steph because you guys are never free when I am so yessu! I am looking forward to the music 8D

Thursday. I had been kindly invited to watch the performance of the Orphei Drängar choir. yayness free concert 8D 

As Jennifer Tham phrased it, '

To all FANS of women conductors: ONE woman, EIGHTY men. WOOTS. Sons of Orpheus (Orphei Drängar), alive and kickin' in Singapore. Come cheer her on: Thu 21 Oct, Esplanade Concert Hall.'

Genius 8D

Product shoot on Friday. Did I mentioned that I have not started editing the medical seminar shoot and that my deadline is this Friday T_T

The medical seminar shoot went pretty well and I am pretty satisfied with my images i think. I even bumped into J when I was shooting and I never knew she was some big shot the senior research executive in the company that hired me. Well thank god for her as she made my life so much easier(:

A short preview on my album 'design'

Now that I had been doing a little bit of commercial works, I sort of understand the frustrations that black collared worker aka designer goes through. I mean, I am not happy with my album design at all.

I worked with a partial idiot proof album design template and half the time, I was making changes to the placement of the images doing things like opacity change and monochromes. In the end, my 'boss' walked in and reset all my opacity and told me to change my monochrome images into color. 

"What does an aunty does the client knows about design? Don't change your opacity because when you print it out, the images will look very light and those aunty they will complain.'

To be able to balance a nice design with what the client want is a hair pulling thing but when you have so much work and so little time, I move on because reality bites and I need food on the table.

Disgusting fonts and horrible background aside, its time to get back to work.

Tag replies: looks like you guys are having fun with my tag board 8D
