The moment you start counting, I will do the same. And please note that it’s not as simple as 1+1. Remember all the formulas learnt from add maths & physics?  Seriously, I don’t use the formula in the exams, and I still get the distinction result. Why? The calculator is in my head. :p So whatever you are counting, my brain is generating the result before you calculated.

I have been squeezed by a freelance project client for the reason : under quoted project. Ridiculous changes & rush work. I should have charge her more but I couldn’t, this is what I meant been squeezed.

Been working with this client for quite sometime. We become friend. I am a easy person, that I don’t take advantage on friends, but friends sometime do that to me. Am I being too soft hearted?

Due to work load these weeks for a big project in MAS, I have sleepless nights. My friend had few rush works, I took it because her designer just resigned from the company. I asked myself again, why am I being so kind to her, took up the rush job, squeezed costing and harsh time with her. We did quarrel one night.

I said : It’s enough! all these changes are ridiculous and yet you are under quoted your customer. This is not an excuse to get me work and pay full attention to your project while you are paying me a penny like I can’t even buy a Coach. Sorry I have to say so, you pay what you get. I am turning her back to my client. I will glance through the requirements, timeline & payment agreement before we proceed.

Don’t try to be friend with me if you are looking for a freelance web designer/developer. Deal it professionally.

*That’s why hardly I will have friends. Friends of my do not deal business with me. That is what friends for.

For those MLM friends who are trying to sell me things, I will buy if you are sincere enough, and not asking me to become member, then we are more likely to get the sales close.

Remember, I buy your service, not the product.





我的自述 (小学、高中篇)

24 08 2008
高中毕业几天前,老师随兴要我们写出《我的自述》。这不难,写作曾是我的强项,因为我仙家一流。既然是快要毕业了,有多毒的虫子也使劲放出来咬一咬老师。

原文:

自幼不说含着金锁出世,也至少有“银或铜”吧。虽然父母不是什么大生意人,却也一间连开一间的糕饼屋连锁店,衣食住行永远不是我们可担心的事。出门有司机接送,穿的用的必定是进口货(当时马来西亚制造却也风靡一时),一天三餐都是上馆子吃, 因父母忙得来不及早料我们几兄弟姐妹。在不然就只好委屈着肚子,要庸人煮即食面。总之,只要不缺少零用钱,吃的用的,绝对不是问题。在DOS时代,我们玩的不再是babydoll 而是苹果电脑。弟弟的 transformer 早就不知所终。

这是事实,但却被好友说我有点炫耀

父母不是家教学会的成员,却在学校有几分面子。即使校长也不例外给于我们不错的待遇。怎么说呢,每逢教师节和儿童节,爸爸都会报效特大的蛋糕给老师,丰富的零食给和我同班的朋友们。

曾经一个朋友在新学期被调至另一个班,忧伤地和我说:今年儿童节不一样了。。。
我拍着胸口说:我留给你!但是,告诉我考题哦。。。少小无知,她当然答应了

原来,不知何时起,开始和朋友谈交易了。。。我家什么都不多,就蛋糕零食永远是交易的好物品。

上了中学(名誉不怎么好的女校),当了名副其实的“金玉其外,败絮其中”的学生。看似乖乖品学兼优(我不是自夸,但就是进不到名校),根子里却坏得要命。妈妈一直申请让我转校,因兄弟姐妹之中,我的学校算是最烂的吧!我不怎么样,说服妈妈就此算了吧!

上课不怎么听老师听书,(我可曾经被列入行为不怎么检点的黑名单中,却也和正校长拉得上良好关系的懒学生-纵使某一些老师把我恨之入骨)无论如何,我有的是名牌补习老师当靠山。。。呵呵呵。 多亏姐弟读的是精明名校,一定要找全城最棒的私人补习老师,而我却是普通一般,这也还好,没有压力,但却被逼着和他们一起颠。妈说,只要我能及格就好。即使身在最优秀班,我也懒得理他什么优秀不优秀。有兴趣的科目也不少,尤其是独钟于化学、物理、生物科,但懒得交课业。对于针对我的老师们,很抱歉,我只好大睡特睡(即使是物理课),觉得好玩,就会发呆看着窗外正打着排球的学妹。因为,我有的是搞笑物理补习老师嘛!有一天我在想,真他妈的把死鱼眼物理老师的车刮花。

开始搬电里的面包、蛋糕、零食来学校卖。妈说,卖掉的扣除成本就是我的零用钱!我每天不吃劳苦持着一个大书包到学校,别人以为我是一个读书人,书包特别大,一定是一个书呆子!无可否认,我的样子真的是有一点呆!可我头脑不笨。

隔壁好友说:你也够狠,害我必须常解释你因为生病而睡着了,你以为真的财多身子弱,体弱多病啊?老师在这一段后一针见血给了我很多的评语,有好有坏,小的不敢在这儿炫耀。但不妨在这儿透露一些。他说我扮猪吃老虎, 我说,这不奇怪,是我爸教导有方。原因,即使我成绩常年满江红,大考却比一些常年维持成绩佳的同学们更优了。老实说,考试不是靠温习单方面,也要灵机一致吃脑的啊!禽贼先禽王,和校长拉拢关系一向是我最强。。。呵呵呵。。不然我怎么可以顺利毕业啊!

我的愿望是要当一个科学家,数理家,文学家。在大学的日子应该会很忙吧!所以我会再接再厉,将来一定用功读书。

老师说,有理想,有自信!我说,还有一句,有性格!后来,我成不了所术的什么伟大发明家等等,成了个仙家。这一点我在出来工作后会知老师一声。他大笑,但他说,今天的我并没让他失望过!
