*waves* This journal is now Friends Only. I usually friend back anyone who friends this journal, but I’m getting to the stage where it’s difficult to keep up with my friends list.

If you’re new here, please feel free to read the guidelines under the LJ cut. I’m very friendly, but I would like to know why you‘ve friend me in the first place. If we have things in common, then that’s great!

If you’re here about my icons/banners/colour bars, go here and remember to credit my icons with my username, sardius or send me an email if you want to make a request. Thank you. :)

Updated 14/06: If you're here for icons, I'm afraid you're at the wrong journal. Please do not use my personal icons in my icon profile. For more information, please read my info. Thanks! :)

Hee. Check out my Bleach mood icons!!! They are so cute. Thanks to a dear friend of mine who fixed it up for me. I had no idea how to do it through LJ. :))))

*happy Sar* At least my LJ looks a bit different now. ^__________^

1.5 hrs x 2 = 3 hrs of transport = Sar with a very sore bum.

OMG. Why on earth is his company so far away? *sighs* The day started off okay. Mom was all worried about me catching the train there by myself, since the suburb that I'm going to isn't exactly a safe place. I got there, the dude gave me some jobs to do, and my goodness, there's a lot already. I think he desperately needed a designer, so that's why he gave me the job!

Anyway, I'm in charge of doing labels, packaging boxes, leaflets, and brochures. O.o; Of course, I don't plan to work my butt over it, since I want to make sure he pays me first! I have all the original files, if he wants it, give me money! Wahahaha.

*sighs* So, I have to go to his place every tues and thurs from 10am-5pm. Sounds alright, but if I include travelling, it's makes me sad. ><;

Although, truthfully the stuff I'm doing isn't my style, and it's not very interesting. I do prefer working in an architecture company, so I'll stick with this for now, and continue hunting. :)

*nervous*

I'm heading off to work tomorrow. The guy wants me go over to his company, and I hope everything will be okay. I just hate not knowing what I'm doing, since it takes me an hour on train to get there, and he wants me to bring my digital camera as well. EHhhh???

I never knew doing freelance can be so frustrating, but clients are our friend. Must smile and nod.

*nervous*

Sar needs to grow up.

Other than that, check out the icon. *drool* I want to learn how to colour like that in photoshop! Must make the time to check out the tutorial.

Have a good week, everyone! *hugs*

I'm back! Boy, it was a tiring day.

The interview went rather okay, I think I could have done better, but HEY! I got the job! I'm employed!!! Even though it's freelance for now, he said later on, I can always work as part time. :) It's good to know I'm earning some income again, and not having to rely on my sis and parents. At least this year, while I do my finals, I can work part time, gain some experience along the way, and use this to find myself a better job for my professional work experience.

Plus, I get PAID! WOW! I was thinking I might be a starving artist. HEE.

It seems this year is starting out well. (For now :)))

*hugs flist* Thanks to everyone's encouragement and support!

I DID IT!!!!

Tries her best to catch up on LJ :)

BUSY! I don't even know what animes are out! I haven't downloaded them for days. Way behind, as usual. *sighs*'

I got a call this afternoon, and I'm going to see a client tomorrow morning to see if they want to hire me to be their Graphic Designer for their company. Of course, I'm scared! I've never stepped out into the real world, although I have worked in retail before, but not in the design industry. *breathes in and out* I'm already trying to get everything organised, like my crappy portfolio, design my business card, printing out my resume, and trying to think of what I have done in my course for the past 4 years.

*sighs* It's not a very difficult job. Basically, I already have the templates, and I just need to design the labels for their products. Although, it's also a good opportunity for me to see the workplace, and gain some experience.

ARGH! I'm thinking too much ahead. Have I ever told you I'm not very confident about myself? *scream*

I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it...

Happy New Year!!! 2005!!!

Gosh...I'm still tired. I didn't get home till 5am this morning, then quickly took a shower, and collasped onto my bed. Despite the heat, we were lucky enough to have two umbrellas, hats, and lots of sunscreens with us, since we were there at 2pm to get a good spot next to the Opera House. By the time it was getting late, it was packed with people, and the atmosphere was very intense and spectacular. Although, the fireworks wasn't as great as last year, due to some problems with the wind, it was also a fundraising night, and it was great to know many fellow Australians, including myself, tried our best to donate whatever we can to those who are needed in the Asia's tsunami disaster.

I hope everyone had a fantastic new year, and that 2005 will bring us a lot of joy and happiness. It was great to have met a lot of new friends from last year, although starting from next week, I'd probably make my livejournal as Friends Only.

This year is also my last year of university! Of course, one would like to remain a student forever, and enjoy the long summer holidays, but we all need to grow up and move on... *sniff*

I wish everyone the best for 2005~! Lol...as Nekojita has stated, it's the Year of the cock Rooster, so maybe we get to see more smut coming from everyone, eh? ^____^

Firstly, big hugs to stormcloude, katsue_fox, and dunkle_feuer! I have received your Christmas cards, and they are all lovely! So cute! Why, it must be the polar bear season this year! =^___^=

I got a haircut today, except I don't think it looks good. *sighs* I'm always nervous going to the hairdressers, never knowing what I'd look like by the time I step out of those doors. At least, it's a lot shorter now, and it's easier to manage. :))))

I was also a good girl, and finally went to the Post Office to send the rest of the parcels. I'm so sorry if you're going to recieve your Christmas cards/pressies late, but it was a public holiday on Monday/Tuesday, and on Weds I was busy with my family. *bows* _rainbowtears_, tameiki, kuiama, katsue_fox, and mac_lynn, hopefully you will get your goodies in a week or so. :)))) Let me know when it arrives, as I'm a very paranoid Sar.

lilla_chan, I'll be sending yours after the New Years, because I ran out of money! Lol. Sorry, sweetie! But yours is a HUGE parcel, so it's better if I get it right, ne? *hugs*

The fireworks is still running for tomorrow night, and I think there's going to be a charity fund for the Red Cross. Hopefully, fellow Australians can all put in a few dollars to help out.

I'm not even sure how I'm going to get home after 12am, but in case I don't have internet access, I hope everyone has a safe New Year. *hugs flist*

You can make a difference.
Just by spreading the call for help.

Over 70,000 people were killed so far in the Asia Tsunami, and many thousands more are still unaccounted for.

The disaster left millions homeless, helpless and defenseless. And if you could spare a few dollars, old clothes, unwanted items, please try your best to help the victims. And if not, please spare a moment to pass this message of aid around Livejournal and encourage your friends to do so. These people needed all the help they can get.

Happy Birthday luxetumbra I hope you have a fabulous day. *hugs*

*hugs PC* I'm back. Sorry, I've been away from LJ for the past two days, so give me a while to catch up, ne. I hope everyone had a good Christmas, whether you stayed over at relatives or not, it's once in a year, so even though if things doesn't work out well, I guess families are still families.

Although, I wish my parents would stop inviting visitors for dinner. *sighs* I just hate cleaning up. Everything always ends up in a mess, and I feel like a maid helping everyone refill their rice bowls, washing the dishes, getting the fruits ready...etc. Gah...and the worst thing is when you have very bad period pain, you don't want to move at all! >:( I swear, the next person to call me from downstairs is going to have a taste of my knuckle sandwich!!! >:/

Anyway, I should start replying to emails, and LJ messages.

Big hugs to clueless_psycho! So glad to know you and your families are okay, sweetie.

I'm trying to get all my Livejournal friends' locations plotted on a map - please add your location starting with this form. Username: (Then get your friends to!)

Wow. I finally know where everyone is currently located. I'm horrible at Geography. *sniff* I feel so lonely. Everyone is on the other side of the world.
