和 IZ 搭公交的经历

昨天中午在PWTC工作后就和IZ 一溜烟的跑掉了。
没人载送,当然是搭公交啦!!开始还说什么搭Monorail,在那里也只不过有 LRT 而已涅。

搭LRT前,在LRT站斟酌……


竟然不懂要搭去什么站……IZ 此刻还说:“你要是带错路我就打你!”(因为我已不是第一次带错路了)后来就买了Hang Tuah 站的车票。其实也还蛮赶的,因为那残忍的IZ 忘了把公寓钥匙留在家里,他那两位从外地来的朋友因为没有食物充饥,又不能外出,看来也快要饿死了吧!

到站后,我说 :“ 不用搭Monorail啦!这里走去巴士站还蛮近的!不要浪费钱啦!过对面马路就行啦!”我还带着 IZ 上Monorail 站 “天桥”,想过去对面,结果遇到死路。想想Monorail站又怎么会有“天桥”过对面???又跑回下来,我说看到天桥了!!两人兴致勃勃要奔过去时,才发现天桥正在修理着……

“怎么办怎么办?难道要过车龙?”我一直在说。
“没办法了!”

冒着危险,总算过到那所谓的“对面”……

“向前直走就行啦!”我在一路上还说得很轻松。
“是前面那站了吗?”
“不是”我继续废话……
“是这站了吧?!”
“还要再走~~”
“好像很远哦?”
“不会的啦!很快的!”又一路继续废话,还介绍地点!



原来从Hang Tuah,经过 Stadium Negara、州立华小、精武山、篮球总会、尊孔独中、商务印书局、紫藤、Uda Ocean、Mandarin Hotel 到 Pasar Seni 巴士站是那么遥远的一段路途……

“难道 LRT 没到 Kota Raya 吗?”
“好像有喔……刚才为什么不买到Kota Raya 的票咧?”我还责问起 IZ!

终于我们“长征”到 Pasar Seni 时,抬头一看……


呜呼哀哉……

还劳烦 IZ 这个外地人找寻那到我们家的巴士……
(怎么不一样了?以前不是停这里的吗?为什么改停那里了?才一年没搭,就换那么多?)
突然觉得自己像个笨女人似的……

最后,成功的回到了……
临下车前:“IZ,你会按铃吗?到站了要按铃哦!”
IZ : “ …… ”

我想当他回到他的公寓时,会见到以下的情景:


总结:
1. 原来一年不搭巴士,情况会变得很糟。
2. 还是带错了路……
3. 记得留钥匙给暂住你家的朋友……

收获

从北京回来,最令我感到高兴的是在王府井外文书局找到超赞的设计杂志 :
《艺术与设计》。
(感谢公司给我这个机会到北京一游。)
踏进这个书局时,在里面混了好一阵,感到失望之际,
让我在某个不起眼的角落中发现了它们,真是让我雀跃万分!
(我想我同事看到我那样子她一定觉得很 -_- )

来看看!这是我所买回来的,一本才RMB25。真的很值



当初还蛮后悔为什么不多扫几本回来呢!
那时候赶时间,只能看看其排版方式。
回来细读,才发现内容更棒!
网上定购嘛,也只是给当地而已,气死我!
只好拜托在中国求学的朋友,回马时捎合订本来。唔该!

一向来,我对中文排版的印象就只有:花哨、凌乱、四方字、杂乱的颜色……
没想到中国的设计水准远超出我想象,已经是跨前了一大步!
而本地的中文排版却还在原地踏步……

四方字原来也可以排得很欧式。
先前我有想过何不试试将欧式风格apply在中文排版内?
但面对一堆四方字,真的不知从何下手。之前的工作经验都只限于英文,还真难倒我叻。
在接触以后,也能算又学到新东西了吧!经验,经验……

这里有些此杂志的版面设计,都是我蛮喜欢的:





这杂志不但探讨现代艺术设计,当然也拢扩一些当代艺术,
还有时事性的事物(那它当然也和艺术有一点点的关系),
也有欧美设计杂志的摘录。呵呵,获益良多!

有兴趣的话,何不游览游览?
http://www.artdesign.org.cn/

想起以前在中学的时候常看《艺术家》杂志。那是本较着重在艺术方面的杂志。
不知道现在还能在那里找到呢?

PS :
1. 还记得我另一个疯癫部落格吗?我已经将它给移过来了,
那旧址没再用啦!
2. 我当然会连接你们啦!
3. 凌晨写部落格蛮有feel。
4. 可是却很饿……

我回来了~~!!!!!

是的!! 我回来了!!! 从北京回来~~~!!
我也知道我好久没又来这里写写了.......太太太忙啦!!

其实这个部落格新设计够思了满久。原本会在前两个礼拜正式公开,却遇上一些家事而不得不延迟到今天。现在终于公开了。

简单来说,这是根据自己所谓的Branding来包装自己,让你们见识真正INSANE的我!!!
YYY the reason why,理所当然,就是事出有因。所有的东西都一定会有其原因或理由存在。当你看到很多问号的时候,不要怀疑,那就是我脑袋装着的东西,时常都在思考反省.....( 其实倒在想废物多!!)......

我会在这新的部落格探讨艺术设计,不只是在于运用,而是Theory方面的东东.......因为要做一个真正的设计,concept是非常非常重要的。(讲到头来,自己已经忘了要怎么写下脑里说想的拉杂理论啦!!!) 哈哈,不会再有双语现象出现啦!!!....翻译其实还满累的.......我要不然就写拉杂华文,要不然就写半桶水英文......随性啦!!....这样才能表现出我的 insanity 嘛......原谅我!!!

就这样,交待完毕(超级 random的一篇废话)。

Adobe YYY......(对,我很无聊....I admit that I'm lame...)....

一星期前,由于喝了Nescafe 3 in 1 rich, 晚上睡不着,太无聊.....就突发奇想的做了这个:
one week ago, I got insomnia just because of Nescafe 3 in 1 rich, and so I did this:



如果你有使用Adobe 软件,你就知道我在无聊些什么..........
假装自己是Adobe de 成员.........
If you using Adobe software you sure will get what it is.....
I just stupidly apply my name onto it....pretending that I was one of them.....



然后来见见我的朋友们......是真的Icon啦.....不是photoshop的......(我是说我的YY啦)...
像吗??呵呵.......
And meet my Adobe friends~~~.......That's the real icon which I did.....not photoshop work....
I mean the so called "Adobe YYY " (which my friend call it....).....
Look alike???..........



证据.......还有证人........
Oh yeah, and to prove that it is real......


还有一系列......包括工作空间,文件icon 等.......还没完成.......
And one whole set....including workspace, file icon......I have't done it yet.....



PS: 别告我,只是玩玩而已......
RS: Don't sue me!!...This is just for fun.....



还有一个不眠夜...............
And another sleepless night...................





用Flash 画的.........
Done it in Flash......



再见.....
Bye Bye.......

我的短命工output designer 2...Working as an output designer 2...

让我们来继续吧.........(竟然是在两个月后!!!)
Let's continue~~(after 2 months++.....)



过程:
Progress:

首先当然是将你的作品先输入电脑里啦......
First of all, drag your artwork to the laptop.......




如果使用transfer paper的话.....
就由这架叫做影印机的东西将图案印出来.....
(这影印机很贵的哦!!)
If you're using transfer paper,
The printer will output your artworks.....
(This machine is quite expensive, man!)




若是用Flex的话, 就用这个叫Craft robo的机器将图案割出来.....
Craft robo 这个东西其实是可以割任何纸张或像纸一样薄的塑胶片....
很方便, 像是如果你要做复杂的图案镂空, 他就帮得上啦!!....
而且可以选择不同的割法.....
当然像Flex这种材质, 是由一层胶和一层贴纸组成, 所以只要将胶片层割断就行了

If using flex, this machine, Craft robo could be your helper.
It can actually cuts all kinds of material which is similar to paper.
For details, not a problem......
And of course you can choose different ways to cut your artworks.....
For Flex( form by one layer of polyurethane and one layer of adhesive), just cut out
the surface(polyurethane).......




接下来, 就是将印好或割好了的图案....连同衣服或其他布质的东西.....
放到这机器中间, 高温加压.....
当然,不同的材质有不同的温度与加压时间....
像是transfer paper, 温度通常在190℃......12秒左右....
Flex则是160℃, 10秒左右.....

Following by putting your fabric togather with transfer paper or flex
between the platen surfaces of the heat press machine.....
Different materials different temperature and timing......
For transfer paper, 190℃.....around 12 seconds
For Flex, 160℃ and around 10 seconds.......





以下是徽章的制作过程....
超容易的......只要有这个仪器.....就可以了....
Below is the progress of making a badge.....
Very simple......If you got this, badge machine.....




哈哈...将图案印在普通的纸....对, 就是普通的纸.....
再用割圆器割出来...
看我,多勤奋~!!
Get your artwork printed on normal A4 paper...ya....it is....
And using circle cutter to cut it out.....
That's me~....the hard working me.......



然后然后......徽章金属片上覆盖图案纸, 再覆盖一层薄透明纸.....
一同置入相应的圈圈内(左)......另一边则置入有扣针的金属片.....
分别压一次......(还满难解释的....抱歉了...)
Then, we got 3 layers, the top one is Mylar, followed by your artwork
and shell dome.......
Insert them all together into the so called pick up die(the circle thingy on left).......
and the other so called crimp die with pin back metal piece.......
and and and and....press each of the die!!.....(hard to explain....)



就完成啦......
我旁边那位就是白王子嘉啦.....
Finally, get it done!....
The one on the right is Philip~~~



他可受小孩欢迎了~!!....(因为他手里的NDS....)
He is so popular among these kids!!!!!......with his NDS...haha




还有, 做工的时候,都有朋友帮衬我.....
真的很感谢!!!
I do got friends who helped me a lot...!!
Thousands of thanks....!!!!

大眼kY.....
Big eyes kY........

买了一个我亲手画的徽章.....
加上一个被逼买的......印有她名字的徽章.....呵呵.....
She bought my handmade badge and another badge, which was printed
with her name(forced by me)......hahhaha........




白王子嘉~~
Philip~~

他还买了一些印有他名字,但不同类型的徽章.....
这一件是我练习时印的......也逼他买了~~....
后来还有一些衣服.......
大顾客耶~!
Oh my big client~~
He bought a series of the things with his name printed on them....
And some of the t-shirts......




中学朋友也来帮衬~~
(左至右)Aus, LSW, MW, Ah liang......
谢谢了~!大顾客是也~~
And high school friends as well~~~
(from left to right)Aus, LSW, MW, Ah liang.......
Thanks a lot!!!......big clients....lolz



当然还有在我工作时,帮过我的一些人, 比如借我充电器的pk......
带朋友来帮衬我, 还充当店员的SHY~!!(这个好笑~!!!!)
谢谢了~!!
And of course some of the friends who helping me when I was working.....
pk who lent me his battery charger.....
Shy~~~brought his friends to print some shirts and became the worker in
the kiosk.....lolz~~~!!!
Thanks!!






锵锵锵~!!!这就是老板们啦~~~.......
忙着数钱......
Cheng Cheng Cheng!!!
Bosses~~!!!With money in their hands~!!



我当然也会做错事啦!!....有一回竟然将顾客的一件衣给印熔了!!!
那是尼龙质料的布,我竟然放到190℃......
I make mistakes too!!!......I melted one of the client's shirt which
made by nylon......I put the temperature in to 190℃~!!!!.....


在2008的最后一天,档口结束营业.......
In 2008, the kiosk was closed........


虽然薪水不高, 但是却非常有趣........
当你帮助顾客完成一件作品时,他们满意的样子,足够让你一天内的疲劳全都忘了~~
Although it is not a well paid job, I'm enjoying it....
When the customers satisfied with the work, you probably will be glad~!!


照片提供 : 大眼kY, Aus, 我自己........
Photos : kY, Aus, me myself.......


现在正构思新的部落格版面, 已经完成了70%......期待下回吧~~
Thinking of redesign my blog layout.......70% done......

我的短命工output designer...Working as an output designer...

这些作品是我在Sunway Pyramid 的一间小档口打工时所做的......
什么工? 老板说是output designer.....其实是没有 "output designer" 这个词的存在....
(在面试时就被大人物问过什么是output designer.....)
These are the creations that I did when I was working in a kiosk at Sunway Pyramid.
My position : output designer.......There is no such thing call output designer
(Being asked what is an output designer during the interview session.......)

这里主要的工作就是帮顾客印衣服、杯子、拼图、系索、徽章制作等.....
而印制衣服就有两种....一种是用Transfer paper将图案印上衣服,另一种则是用craft robo
将flex割出来, 再印在衣服上.....

当然我们也有设计一些图案, 让顾客选购.......
We do personalize items printing on shirt, mug, puzzle, lanyard and button badge
making etc. There are 2 techniques to do the shirt printing. One is using transfer
paper and another one is using craft robo to cut out the Flex and print.
And of course, we designed them for our customers too.


有关材料的资料,到这里看看......

我的表情符号 My emoticons

很早以前就很想创作属于自己的表情符号.....
但是很忙加上不懂得如何制作....结果就不了了之.....
