it is NOT easy!

It was not only just once- but believe me- hundred million times— since I was in college people used to ask me this:

“ What have you learned in this college so far? Bet you don’t have to study too hard like us- you’re only do drawing, right? Gee, studying in art and design faculty must be so fun!”

Only do drawing you say?!
They didn’t know that there were mmmmilllion assignments to be done and spent lots of time only for making those artworks to be APPRECIATABLE. And it was not just a drawing, bottom line. Where did you put the word of CONCEPT?
Fun, YES indeed. True, we didn't do math, calculus, physics or chemistry like those in science and technology faculties, but please recall yourself for not underestimate of what an art and design faculty student has done for 4 years or more in college.

“What is your job desc on your work? Oh, graphic designing. Ha?? Was it that hard so that you frequently should have overtime- working 18 hours a day or more from 8 to 3 in the morning? Designing is a fun thing to do, isn't it? Since it was fun, I think it must be easy to do, right?”

Did I mishear or something? No, I think since it was a hundred million times question directly to me- I believe that my ears work correctly. Working in design is not that easy- let me repeat it please- it-is-NOT-easy!!
Designing is like a long long road to pass through, and you never know when and how great idea comes up on your brain to create a great design. And on this professional world, you got to think how to create a great design that could be ACCEPTED by those –bad sense of art- CLIENTS (sorry Misters, but you are), assure and recommend them the best design (which is really hard because of their conventional way of thinking- sometimes), and the most important thing is- to be accepted and APPRECIATED by public a.k.a consumers.

And we got to have overtime, over and over again, doing meetings, revision, preparing presentation and stuffs, meeting again, revision again until we get sick of our own design.. then we realize that we have no time for our private life, even only for sleeping! HHhhhh….

Okay, gotta stop sighing. Got to remember this verse. "Then which of the favours of your Lord, will ye deny?" [ArRahman 55]

By the way, taking a nap at cubical is like a peaceful sleep in paradise after weeks full of overtimes. Sometimes I steal my office hour only for taking a nap for a while in my own cubical—(sure if there is no boss around!), but well, believe me, those 3 ugly guys are even more dangerous than my boss!! If they were around, my ‘paradise’ turns to be like hell. Aaaarrgghhh!!!


So girls, if you ask me whether is there single cute and lovely guys in my office or not, I’d rather say NO *sorry guys, hahahaha!!*

Can’t wait for x'mas and new year holidaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!

It's complicated.

Life is simple, but not that simple. Love is wonderful, yet sometimes painful. To live a life with love is a liberty, but to live a love in life is not always be an eternity. The point is, love and life depends on fate and destiny with a bit of luck and… sacrifice.

Anyway, well, this must be a little sensitive though (let me repeat: SENSITIVE, so, I apologize), but here I would share some stories about this never ending sensitive case of love and life.

She’s a Muslim, and he’s a Christian. They’ve been together for a very long time and will get married soon. She will always be a Muslim, and he will always be a Christian. End of story, yet still complicated.
She’s a Muslim, and he’s a Christian. They’ve been together even much longer than the first couple. She will always be a Muslim, and he will always be a Christian. The story still goes and not yet ended. Clashes and contradictions between both of their family still disturb their future.

NO, I don’t and never ever mean to be rude- it is none of my business. Yes, it is NONE of my business. But…

Been there. Almost done that. It’s complicated.

The freedom of faith is absolutely a self authorization, yet still be- sometimes and even mostly- a family ‘prerogative thing’ of principle life beliefs. Yet, it IS also an absolute principle thing for each person to be committed directly to God though. Hummm…

End of story. It's complicated..
