Feature Portfolio

chic-blogspot-themeFeel free to browse through my portfolio, which contains selection of works that I did under simplyWP (for web design) and during the early freelancing period (for print graphic design). Girly chic is my design style, though I'm flexible most of the time.

One year: ago, now, later

1 year ago

- After graduated, I didn’t manage to get myself a job at KL hence I came back to Medan on earlier May. This is the last choice that I wanted to go for. :(

- I started to work as a packaging designer on June. I ranted about the colleagues, the Boss, the driver who drove like an F1 racer, the cheapo catering (lunch), etc.

- Long Distance Relationship was so hard for me. I kept on counting days to meet him again.

- I owned a simple Samsung phone. I changed my mobile operator from Simpati to XL cause sms within XL numbers were free. :P

- I still used my Acer travelmate laptop. I changed from NusaNet dial-up to Speedy broadband – hourly package (384kbps) from Telkom. The connection ran so fast and smooth at that time.

- I had a black bob hair style.

Now

- I am still in Medan. The previous attempt of job hunting at KL failed.

- I work at home; freelance designer and blogger. It never come accross my mind that I will earn through writing. Optimizing the blog to generate more income is fun. I rant about the black out.

- So fast it is 1 year of LDR already. I have get used to not having him by my side. Good way to be more independent. But I still counting days to meet him. :P

- I still owned the Samsung phone and additional Nokia phone. Both are very simple with color screen and basic menu, that’s all. I have changed back to Simpati because XL line has getting worse. The other phone is for my ‘Happy’ (from Digi) number.

- I passed my 3 years old laptop to my brother. :P Currently using desktop – Dell Inspiron 530. The connection of Speedy has getting worse. Sigh.

- Still black bob hair.

1 year later

- I will be in Singapore with the boyfriend. Had a minimalist princess room with Ikea furniture. I’ll separate half for the prince room. :P

- I will be working at a medium size advertising agency or design studio in Singapore. Maintaining blogs at the same time and probably checking on EcoQuest International profile online.

- Good bye LDR.

- I will have a Sony Ericsson phone with mp3, camera, and most importantly able to online. No more flip phone is fine.

- I will own a 19″ iMac. Save place than owning a 19″ desktop.

- Still black hair with a shoulder length. Or maybe a curly one.

I will get back to this entry one year later, to see whether my dreams come true or not. :P
