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!!!!!!

Menurut saya yah, kerjaan yang ga pake overtime berlebihan, ga pake depresi, ga pake revisi, ga pake ngejar-ngejar klien, ga pake digangguin temen kantor, ga pake nangis darah, ga pake dikejar deadline, ga pake klien pelit dan rese, itu bukan kerjaan yang menyenangkan! justru seninya di situ.. hahaha..

me, now, depressed. but me really enjoy this job *sakit jiwa*.. hahaha..
