Twitface

Yeah, as you could probably tell from the title, and the side bar *see right* I have succumbed to Twitter!

Yes, thats right, now you can get even more updates in the form of my twittering! Ive activated my mobile phone so now, I can tweet from a bus, from a lavatory or from atop Mount Everest. Aint that nice? :)

Holidays have just started for me and at the moment Im not really doing much except eat sleep and twit my face off.  Everyones still on exams so really, theres not much I can do

However, I did try to entertain myself by dyeing my hair the other day. Usually home hair dyes just dont show up cos my hair is too dark, but I tried one that apparently will show up on black.

Yeah thats the colour I went for : Black Cherry. Supposedly a vivid rich red.

The box totally BS-ed.

Didnt work.  Well it did but nowhere near as vivid as it claimed. You cant see anything unless Im standing in the sun, which these days, doesnt happen often to begin with!

Wasted $15.

Anyways, either Ive been dyeing my hair, or working my ass off. Customers are funny as man. Some people complain when theirs foreign things in their food, on the other hand, some people like 'foreign substances' in their food...

Man : Can I  have some filipinos on the sub too? Thanks.

Me : Filipinos? oh.. Jalepenos!

Sometimes you just cant please everyone =_=

On a random note, Snoopy (my dog) likes to fart alot.

 Disgusting little thing.

Breaking The Fast.

Holy cow!

How long has it been since I blogged?! Like since December 08! HAH! I keep saying Ill come back but my 1 month hiatus sttttttttrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttccccchhhhheeedddd out to 6months :) Yeh, Im really good at procrastinating.

Anyhoos, how do you like my new blog skin? You better say you like it or I wont be your friend anymore. Look! You dont even have to go to all the trouble of clicking on the comment link at the end of an entry and leave a nice comment nowadays! You can either click LIKE or DISLIKE buttons! Infact, I can periodically change them to more interesting reactions like...

I LOVE THIS

I HATE THIS 

or..

I LOVE REENA

hahah.

Now that you mention, Im actually going to create a I LOVE REENA button hahahaha! Pardon my ego.

So much yet so little has happened over the past 6months. For starters, I have become so addicted to Facebook. its like not funny. I get Facebook withdrawal symptoms sometimes. it sucks and blows all at the same time. 

Oh well, welcome back to the blogosphere Reena. 

and to everyone else who slowly watched my blog grow cobwebs. ^^

Flying

NOTE : I was going to continue justifying why art degrees are valid. Well I came up up with one sentence that puts a stop to it all and pretty much sums up this arguement.

You see, LME students always say that their degrees are practical, and art students might as well go to super tafe/tafe. Well, (this is in no way to offend TAFE students), if they were so into doing PRACTICAL DEGREES... why dont they just... go to tafe? Isnt TAFE where you do practical stuff, and university, a place of higher and wiser thought, hence art students actually do more indepth thinking and rightfully we should be kings of the uni population. Whoever said that university needs to be practical? Its not a fcuking trades institution. End of story.

Ok on to other things.

so holidays are finally upon me and being the very well organized, non time wasting girl I am, Im going to set a to-do list.

*drum roll*

1) find a boyfriend
2) audition to be someones girlfriend
3) um, the above.

Ok, maybe not that only, I also want to go on a holiday... cheapo holiday if possible.
Im thinking my choices are Rottnest island, which could probably count as overseas cos its well, over the sea from perth but like... 10km out? thats still counted.

or if Jetstar/Virgin have a really really really cheap flight to Melbourne, that is definitely a possibility, only thing is that accomodation is a tricky one.

And then there is New Zealand, airfares would cost me but accomodation, transport and company and everything is all settled. Just bring spending money.

Not to mention Ripi, Ernest and Andy bugging me 24/7 to go over. It feels nice to be wanted *hugs self*

So Im still tossing up. I think I'll also have to see how much moolah I earn too.

Someone start me a Flying Fund.

everything is so expensive. T_T

Photoshoot : Sweet Secretary.. and a Long Overdue Rant Part 1

People, are so f*cking ignorant.

Yeah, sorry to be so blatantly rude. but its the f*cking truth. Only when you are in a art students shoes do you see how f*cking ignorant, dumb, and shallow humanity is/can be. Actually, why am I apologising when Im the one being devalued here? I take back my apology.

For those who attend a university or tertiary institution, well, you know, theres this inside silent somewhat joke/no joke-ish conflict on which faculty is the smartest/most hardworking/needed in society/joke of society.

It is also, no secret that I have an strong dislike for law/medicine/engineering students. Infact.. any student that isnt in the Humanities and Psychology streams. Yeh great, I just made a ton load of new enemies after stating that. But meh. Ima beetch today. =D

Why do I have this dislike for LME students? (LME = LAW MED ENGINEERING), you ask?
Is it because they are smarter? more capable? Cos they can do whiz differentiation and concoct a deadly bomb in a flick of their fingers?

It is well known that engineering students (mostly) make inside jokes that art students are going to come out having nothing to contribute to society, having a totally useless degree in hand. I mean, pfft... who needs to know about the poetic-ness of shakespeare.. or how this perfect 2m diameter red glittery circle drawn on white canvas, brings us joy.(or so they assume thats what we do)

Well, to make this war equal for us, and becasuse art students always NICELY cop the LME shit, we art students actually have a inside joke about you engineers. We are just really good at keeping inside jokes... INSIDE, hence why you dont hear of them. Anyhoos, getting on.... I thought i was the only one thinking that engineers were like this, but really, the large majority of humanity fellowmates say the same. You know what it is?

We reckon that engineers totally lack social and life skills. Great doing maths/science, shit at doing basic things in real life.

Like you know, time management at work, work atittude, socialiing skills etc. No pointing fingers here. But we have come to the consensus that engineering students think that x to the power of y will solve everything and hence they are almighty. As long as you can do x to the power of y, life is dandy.

Almighty my big ass.

I think actually, law students so far, in my experience, are fine, but then again, perhaps I havent met enough law students.

Medical students are still part of this guilty trio of having their heads in the clouds, not all but ya know, memorising every single part of the human body and its intricate workings. although its a mean feat, well, seriously, if I had a awesome memory, I can do that too. Great, cos memorising alot of long big words is really intelligent. REALLY INTELLIGENT. so that means the more I can memorise, the smarter I am?

Peopl say art degrees shouldnt exist in universitys, cos they are 'easy' and totally are a joke to the other students studying their ass off in other 'harder subjects'

I however, totally believe that art degrees should damn well bloody stay because if anything.
I have so many reasons and so much to say in this tirade, I'll continue some other day.

(I know there are some really nice LME students out there, but too bad for you, the rest of the sorry fellows in your professions make you look damn idiot. You go kick their ass good)

Im tired, and, it is 1am in the morning and I am absolutely knackered from work. But before I end this rather angry entry, heres something Im rather proud of that will make you smile.

My photography assignment photos! *dances in joy waving pom poms*

Brooke was my awesome model for this so thank you thank you Brooke! =D it is a characterisation, so we went for the sickly sweet lazybum secretary look! Ya know, wont do her work, and just sit around snacking on marshmallows the entire day...

It was damn hell heaps of fun! 2 hours of sweaty posing, picture taking, light adustments pose adjustments (Modeling is actually really exhausting! Even though I didnt model, but demonstrating poses and ideas and getting all the details right was such a long process!) But the final results were so worth it! =D Brooke was such a sweet tooth, the hungry model kept eating my marshmallow props!

Its this kinda tireless attention to minute details that creates those perfect glossy magazines you buy at the newsstands. Be appreciative of the effort we go to to make it look effortless. Anyhoos, pics are below... enjoy!

SWEET SECRETARY!

Tools : Canon 400D DSLR, Adobe Photoshop CS3
Venue : Curtin University Studios.

YOOOhoobeehaaaaa

RAWR!

Wow its been like what? 2 HOLE months since Ive come here. XD SOWEE!

A quickie update: UNI IS OVER FOR THE YEAR!

Well sorta, Ive got a photography assignment due on Monday which Im really kinda enjoying. No that wasn't sarcastic. Brooke is my model for the upcoming photoshoot on Friday which is going to so damn freakin fun! Ive got to do a characterisation studio portrait thing, and shes going to dress up as a cheeky secretary! *COUGH* boys..*cough*

But besides that, thats it! HORWEEDAYS!

So many things to share! Im coming back to blogging once I hand in my Photography (:

Bling Gadgets

Remember the Swarovski crystals that Nicholas gave me as my birthday present?

Heres what happened to the pink ones! ^^!!!

ZOMG
*squeals in joy*

That my friends, was 2 hours worth of painstakingly sticking those 2mm wide crystals on by hand, not to mention having to use a really annoying glue that gets everywhere it doesnt need to! I lost my tweezers, I think they are somewhere in my bushy eyebrows, but Ill find them one day. ^^v

The picture really doesnt do the shinyness much justice but nevermind.
Woot now my Ipod matches my car! (well in colour, not bling)
Stop laughing. I really do have a pink car

What am I going to do with the white crystals you ask.

Probably my Mac? Or phone? Im not sure yet. If I stick them on my mac, its like, hm, I afraid to spoil the lid! But I dont want to have the same mac as everyone else. And I dont wanna go too over the top with the laptop. Ideas anyone? Ima on a tight budget (The Ipod and crystals were BOTH birthday presents so dont say I have so much money that I dont need a tight budget, the camera was my first ever paycheck in my life purchase, that being Jan 07!) I have a freakin laptop to pay off now ok!

I havent received my (mac) laptop yet cos its being shipped from Singapore, waiting for SOMEONE to fly to Perth so they can hand carry it here for me (: Prolly another month or so but Im sure the wait will be worth it!

Anddd......this entry shall abruptly end here =D

You Know You Are a Curtin Design Student when....

(Some of these apply to design students in general, not just those at Curtin,and ofc not all apply to all of us. Dont take these too seriously too ok? ^^)

You have 6 or so lecturers/tutors and you only need to remember two names - Paul and Ash

You can differentiate who Ash and AshAsh are.

You wear a significant amount of black

You walk into lectures/tutes and you think you walked into some kinda goth club.

You think 'PC' is a dirty word

No MacbookPro, no cool.

Nothing is boring/ugly. Its Modernist.

PS, AI, FL and ID these terms all make perfect sense to you

Adobe is the shit/gives you the shits (depends how you look at it, and what you do with it)

Non-design people look at your work and reckon they could do the same thing easy in a flash on Paint/Publisher/insert cheapskate program name here, but we know theres more chance of raining men (or women, if you are a man) than them accomplishing said task in their claimed timeframe

People not in Design think you sit around and all you do is draw pretty pictures all day without a care in the world. sif.

You are/try to be/unknowingly is pretentious some way or other to some extent.

You have a perfectly valid excuse to buy a Mac and love your course even more for it.

You dont classify yourself as straight, bi or homo. You are Mac.

Coming up with concepts/layouts for a brief, is actually brain draining, contrary to what everyone else thinks. (WTF they used to make us do 100! There goes our social life.)

You are tired staying up to finish work, but you wouldnt mind staying up cos you are actually having bucketloads of fun.

Liquify on PS is the fun-est/funniest thing ever.

You Photoshop all your pics before they make it to Facebook/Myspace.

............then look at them and think 'dammit wish I looked that hot in real life!'

You dont refer to colours as red blue green yellow etc, but as 8973c, 7777c, fff8ccc and the like.

Your eyes hurt. alot.

Ctrl-Z/apple-Z is the solution to everything.

You sleep during the day, work during the night, because thats when inspiration strikes!

You have been to Coles/Woolies to take pics of juice as part of research for a certain first year assignment and people gave you wierd looks. TERRORIST!

You were tempted to wear a 'Competition Analysis' badge/teeshirt/clipboard while doing above mentioned picture-taking at Coles/Woolies, just for fun ^^

People stare at textbooks, you stare at the computer.








Phweeet! Ok I finally ran out! Feel free to add more! Im sure there are more! =D Add add add!

Titanic In Hokkien!

In the spirit of attempting to share a HILARIOUS HOKKIEN VIDEO parody of Titanic, and the fact that embeding has not been allowed so I have to give you the link, the rest of this entry will be in Hokkien. (my very horrible attempt at Hokkien that is. Please dont laugh!). Here goes...

Nebermind, bor her hae mah hor. Le ai kua zi gai video must click click zhe gai link hor. Ok.

A Footlong Worth of Bitch

totally irrelevant picture but meh~

To begin and set the scene, I like my workplace/job. Theres nice people, lotsa dirty jokes like the gay tomato slicer and the ever popular 6" and footlongs. Not to mention good pay to fund my extensive shopping habits.(my most recent buy being $3000 worth of a macbook pro, which is being paid for in instalments hence Lyn if you see this then please give me a FEW more hours rofl ^^v). The job is as awesome as a double meat double cheese and double bacon creation.

But todays bitch is about the people whom I serve. ie- the customer(s). Make me want to stick a breadstick up certain orifices sometimes *nods firmly*


NUMERO UNO BITCH
So it starts like this. People think I have shitty english language skills.Or I cant speak english. Or I speak shoddy english, or I attempt to speak english and epicly fail.

No seriously, I want to make a badge to wear to work saying

Good day. I got 90% for a essay at Curtin Uni. Hence I would like to believe that my english is better than most of you staring at this badge. Thank You. Now how may I help u?

Yup. X)
Then they try to speak to me in like some kinda of 'simplified' english for example..

*points at toaster* you toast?. NO CHEESE NO. TOAST

OR

NO OLIVE. THE BLACK ONE. NO. no. *gestures to indicate N-O*' (how many NO's do you have to say?!)


yeh. NO sh*t, I know what olives are tyvm. they are thick and round, like you.


NUMERO DUO BITCH
Customers like to believe that I am a cunning, scheming employee who has collaborated with the boss to rip you off whenever the opportunity arises. OOOO. especially in those big complicated orders, when I press tons of buttons and sneaked in a few extra punches while I was at it to rip you off $3, and then we hope *fingers toes and earlobes crossed* that you cant tell cos since the order was big the number must be big too right?

Yeah I know. I am smart. I got 90% for that essay. But lemme tell you that when it comes to numbers, I suck. Im not THAT smart. But thanks for saying that I am. No you wont get a free cookie for that.

So anyway, I punch in their order, and politely inform that they need to pay an arm and a leg and a few armpit hairs so and so amount. And that, is their cue to put on a unbelievably horrified face while reaching for their wallet and exclaim :

GEEZ! are YOU sure? cant be that much. Are you sure you put it through right? *attempts to lean over to scrutinise the screen*

(look miss/sir, there an easier alternative, its called 'printing receipt')

So I kindly offer the alternative, and they grab the receipt and scrutinise it like how guys like to scrutinise hot chicks. They stand there infront of me and study the receipt like its the most fascinating piece of paper, waiting for that elusive error to show up and then they can look at me with glints in their eyes and proclaim:

AH HAH! YOU OVERCHARGED ME 5c! I would like it back thank you! *SMIRK*'

Look, I dont get a payrise or free food with every person I rip off. So why would I bother trying to scam you off a few dollars that doesnt even go into my pocket?

I am a good girl, incase that thought we dont exist anymore.

*****************
Right thats just my little rant for today. Im not annoyed annoyed angry per se. But sometimes people make me want to pull my hair out in disbelief cos they are, well, like that. *.*. Anyhoos, I just wanted to do some healthy venting so thanks for reading.


Im all good and happy and calm and chilled.




really X)

Some Belated Bling Bling!

This has got to be one of the most 'Reena' birthday present I have ever received! (thats of course not to say that the rest were crap, they were all freakin awesome!) but Nicholas's present really takes the cake!

Ready Ready?

THREE HUNDRED AND TEN
SWAROVSKI FLAT BACK CRYSTALS IN PINK AND WHITE!!!!

I love you Nick! ahahhahaha (=

Now for some shiny pictures. Put your sunnies on before scrolling down.

light pink aka vintage rose

You cant really see how bling it is but I nearly went blind when I unpacked the package!

The little ziplock bags are tiny tiny! the parcel it came in was rather big and I was expecting this big bag of crystals but I forgot I had asked for small ones ie 2mm wide lol so it was unwrapping one of those pass-the-parcel at parties things, where the final product is like 10000x smaller than the actual packaging!

size comparison with a standard business card.

sibeh bling!

ok. blinded liao.


And to cap of this bling entry, if you havent been blinded sufficeiently, Pauline made my day by getting me MY FAV EARRING FROM PICADILLY ARCADE!!!!!!

ooo mysterious.....

Ya its one of those asian style double ear hole earrings! omg you can see the shinyness of it! craazy! except I realised the second I pierced 2 months ago are too close to see the chain! So Im going to get a third hole. hahahah.

Anyways, thank you both of you! love it very muches! Im going to be arrested for shiny assault one day when I go out. 0_0

loves!

Quirky Juice Box Design

I came across this quirky juice packaging in the form of a imitation of a banana skin, while researching stuff for my client report and brief for a uni assignment. I love it how its so genius!

Cute not? I would buy it!

PS: if you are a fellow design student at Curtin and doing the same assignment, DONT U DARE COPY THIS IM ALREADY USING IT FOR MINE!

Funny Greenpeace Advertisement!

As we all know, our planet is extremely precious to us and issues such as climate change and sustainability should be taken seriously, weather you believe in it or not.




I think a large part of our wasting habits as a society is that we are a bunch of very materialistic people. We are always wanting the best image, the best products, the nicest and most convenient things, hence leading to more packaging, more materials being used just to satisfy ourselves in many ways (no dodgy meaning there). The people driving this trend is of course, the designers (be they graphic artists, creative directors, ad agencies product designers) creating these images and products for large companies wanting large profits, and good design generally equates to that. We as designers have a large responsibility in contributing to this issue, because we are the one designing the labels, the ads and the products in todays very consumerist society, and thus influencing people to buy more and throw more out.

I feel that this is very true, and would like to share this amusing advertisement from Greenpeace encouraging us to use energy efficient lightbulbs. I was shown this video during one of my Design In Context lectures at uni, as we were discussing sustainability, ethics and issues to do with this industry and Im sure you will all get a good laugh out of this. ^^ v!

However, please also take in the very important message the video is trying to convey, because, nothing would be funny anymore if the Earth became so hot that our ice caps melted and drown the living daylights out of you. =/ non?


Title of Video : Sunshine

Another Vibrating Conversation

Sidenote: Happy 20th birthday to Kenny Koh! ^^v

You all know I have a really screwed up sense of humour right? Especially in the form of MSN conversations... =P




Funny conversation ahead, but a little bit of background information before you read it.

Ernie said he was going shopping to buy me my birthday pressie, so I hinted that I like something pink , funny or blingy, then he said he will most likely get something totally opposite to wat I described lol. Oh, Ernie is from New Zealand, the land of the Kiwis, and the land of um.... alot of sheep too. =)

Sooo, ANYWAY! bearing that in mind, read the conversation below ^^ v

Birthday Present Hints

As a design student, it is important to be aware that much of the environment does lie in our hands, becasue it is ultimately us who influence what and how people comsume. Personally, i realy like sustainable design, i feel rly inspired by our DIC lectures, and how the Body Shop encourages giving back to third world communites and not exploiting the weak and vulnerable. I love how they dont test cosmetics on animals because I think thats just wrong.

I believe that Pink plays a very sexual role in design as well. It connotates feminity, girlyness and in contemporary society, Metrosexualism. Different shades of pink however, connotate different things. Pale pink is associated with gentleness and fragility, whereas hot pink, for example, is more upbeat, which isnt realy my thing. Girls also have a tendency to gravitate towards shiny things such as diamontes and quirky double piercing earrings from asian korean shops such as the ones in Picadilly Arcade in Forrest Chase, Perth.Hence cementing the fact that diamonds are indeed a girls best friend

While we are on the topic of design, I must comment that the new Honda Civic is a very modernist design, and appeals to the majority of people. Its sleek body shape lends itself to better aerodynamism, hence reduces drag and saves petrol and the environment.

However, there is one vital ingredient to any design whereby a good design is only possible if there is this ingredient present during the creative process. A design that comes from the heart, and is created or given with lots of thought and love, will always be better than any design that came without a thought.

The End

Happy 19th Birthday to...

IRENE!

so old liao......:P









Love, Reena

Subway Customer Habits Which Piss Me Off

As most of you know, I work part time at Subway, the sandwich chain

not the outlet I work at

One thing I must tell you, after 6 months there, I honestly can say that I sometimes nearly lose faith in humanity altogether. People can be like, so damn stupid.

So today I shall summarise for you yes you all, the customers!, what pisses me of the most about serving people.



PEOPLE ON THE PHONE

f*cking put the phone down and order your sub properly and politely. or I will spit in it when you arent looking.... maybe, perhaps.

And why do people have friends on the phone and making the friends order on their behalf? isnt it super expensive to call? Why not text the stuff you want? Its cheaper faster and just better overall for me and you and your wallet.

PEOPLE WHO CANT READ/MAKE STUFF UP AND HOPE WE CAN PICK IT OUT OF MIDAIR

No, you are not that important that we will source for you some random chicken/beef style. AND READ THE MENU PROPERLY! We do not half chipotle steak we have steak and you can add chipotle later. And it is wheat bread, not wholemeal, or whole wheat. Wheat does not grow in halves. Its so irritating when people make up random stuff from words they picked off from the menu and ome other sandwich shop and then you attempt to clarify with them so you dont accidently make the wrong thing and then they get all pissy because they think you have no idea what they are talking about.

By the way, its pronouced CHEE PO TE LAY not chi pot tle.
And those chilli things have called HA LE PEE NIOS. not jalapenose.

Oh yeah, you know how Subway has jalepenos, capsicum and black pepper. You get some customers that say 'can I have peppers please' and in this case its like so issit jalepenos, capsicum or sprinkled pepper?! No people, use the proper names. I am not a guessing machine.

Also, its red onion by the way, not purple onion =_=

PEOPLE WHO SEEM TO THINK WE HAVE 250GB MEMORIES

I want a six-inch-honey-oat-with-swiss-cheese-toasted-chicken-teriyaki-and-all-salads-except-carrot-oninon-jalepenos-and-onion-and-olives-can-i-also-get-mayonnaise-and-honey-mustard-and-salt-only-thanks-and-i-needa-get-some-groceries-around-the-corner-ill-be-right-back-to-get-my-sub-ok


Yes you can get that, and a breadstick up your arse too.



PEOPLE WHO GET THEIR KIDS TO 'LEARN HOW TO ORDER'

I think this is fine, when theres NO LINE OF PEOPLE QUEING UP!

You know, the parent who nudges their scared as hell 6 year old up to the glass and says 'go on, tell the lady what you want!'

It makes it even worse when they line is out the door and you got this kid who takes 1 minute to say they want cheese, another minute to try to see into the sandwich unit etc.

No seriously, we are busy here, you can teach your kid at home. *grr*





So yeah, thats pretty mcuh sums up all the most annoying customers ever. Occasionaly you get people like health freaks who try to be healthy but end up getting triple bacon and extra mayo and you think wtf, you are so just fooling yourself.

Or then theres those classically funny ones who make you almost explode and spray blood everywhere by the things they say.

We once had a customer who asked for a footlong meatball, but in his tongue-tiedness, he ended saying 'Football Meatlong' 0_0!!!

Even after repeating it excatly like that back to him trying to get him to realise his mistake, he still doesnt realise we dont do footballs here. =_=

Or the old guy my boss got one day, 50 years old who came in with his wife. Upon ordering his 6"sub, he proceeds to boast that his penis is bigger than that 6"! I pity the wife. She probably wud have rather hidden in the oven than have been standing next to him! Or maybe just die on the spot.

I love work. 0_0
