Job training, Birds?

I reckon job training went well:)

even though i felt completely useless during the first week
but all in all I enjoyed working there.

I actually miss working now that I'm back at ESMOD, everything is always in a rush.
When I was working at Jeffry's, everything was so chilled out.
Oh! and there was always a nice restaurant to go to!
I had to help Jeffry make some stuff actually, mostly stuff that involves synthetic leather.
The design he came up with for this event is called the BWA(British Woman Association) was really cool.
The concept of it was what a dominatrix would wear.

Most of the designs involved synthetic leather cut into fringes and thats where I come in:).
I had to make the front part of a :

• Dress
• Blouse
• Pants

This took me 2 weeks, and at the end of it my fingers were totally chapped.
During those 2 weeks there was no way I could get by a day without pricking myself with a needle and bleeding after that.
Luckily, the last week I had there, I got to do computer duty.
Which mostly involved updating the designer's social website and making technical sheets, OH! and photo shopping too.

Well, it wasn't all work and no play, Lucky for me I had 2 of my classmates with me to work with at Jeffy's :p.


This is what we do to the designer's mannequin when he's out:p.


Nakita with a Jilbab


Cum face, ahahahaha.


I had no idea what was Nakita and Archy doing.


Us sewing buttons on shirts


IM DA BAUS>:).

On our last day, the three of us stayed until 9 instead of 5 because we wanted to and we also decided to help out on the wipe out sale.
I got a jacket for myself for a reasonable price.
70% discount!
wooooooo!
Before we left we gave Jeffry a Little present, It's not much.. but we gave some thought to it.
We gave him a packet of mechanical pencils and an eraser cause he's always borrowing mine, a small container of pretty colourful needles and a black mole skin note book as a thank you gift for him having us as his interns.
If your into architectural designs, then you'd love him.
Oh! by the way, his website is actually www.jeffrytan.com.
Go check it out, Most of his stuff is really nice.




As for my weekend, I spent it on bird watching and visiting historical islands.
We visited an island where they used to keep the diseased and prisoners.
there was a graveyard on the island itself, and on of the people buried there died only at 10 years old because of the disease, it's sad really:/.
I had a nice time even though my nieces and I got chased by a swarm of insects:).
Because at the end of the trip I manged to get a bit of a tan while sleeping on the boat..
oh...and sunburn too, ouch!

Job? what is this "job"?

It's been quite a while since I've blogged, been a very busy person and the lecturers just don't understand the term "enough".
Job training for me starts tomorrow, and I feel very fortunate to work with a well known Indonesian designer called Jeffrey Tan.
hahahah, which of course have same name as my older brother:P.
but anyway, Jeffrey has a taste in clothing that has this international feel, I would put down his site's URL except it's currently undergoing construction.
but here it is anyway www.jeffreytan.com
He used to study in ESMOD as well, and was classmates with my Fashion Design lecturer which was how I found out about him.
He appeared in Jakarta fashion week countless of times and his designs are mainly architectural with lots of folds.
I'm actually pretty scared of job training tomorrow, cause Jeffrey said he wants Nakita and I to translate his designs into pattern during the interview.
which of course caused me to start screaming in my head:|.
well, we are there as interns so I'm guessing, well hoping, that he'll teach us too.
So I'm just trying to chill out and not fuss about it.
Haha, well I guess job training did kind of started for Nakita & I yesterday cause we had to act as Jeffrey's assistant in a movie called "fashion satu hari". we have two scenes in the movie which was in a magazine office building and in Jeffrey's shop, I hope I look good in it:p.
but anyway, the cool part was that we got to meet people who worked in magazines like Marie claire Jakarta, Elle Jakarta, rising singers and other people who I can't remember:p.
but it was still nice:p
And if you wondering if I have any lines then no I don't:p, but it was still a good experience to be in a movie even though I was an extra.
and + my name would appear in the credits:p.

On to another point,
you know how we're suppose to be working in job training and all
well, instead of concentrating on just that, we need to do assignments too!
lots of them in fact!
I'd probably just sit myself down one of these days and do all my assignments.
well I've been saying that since yesterday morning but so far it hasn't happen yet.
and here I am blogging in Nakita's house!
Man I hate procrastination.

Simply Irritated

As usual I'm here once again in chitos waiting for my ride to come get me.
Unfortunately this time, I have forgotten to bring my damn phone.
How lovely.
So I pretty much have to guess when is the car coming so I can go to the counter to make a car call.
damn.
but you know what, not really:P.
cause I have no classes this Friday.
Woooooooooooo.
and the great thing about not having classes on this Friday is because it was suppose to be the day of our textile exam.
so my classmates and I got a week extra to study.
which is good considering work has been piling up on us since we got back from our holidays.
Ugh, I literally feet like a zombie today.
This FD work is draining the energy out of me.
ah well, it'll all be okay again when this Friday comes.

I was in the women's toilet just now, and I don't get how a woman uses a toilet for such a LONG time.
no seriously, as in 7 to 10 minutes long, well unless their shitting.
but anyway, what on earth do you do in a toilet stall for that long?
you unbutton your pants or whatever, pee, put it back on and come out.
does that sound like it'll take 7 to 8 minutes to you?
cause it sure doesn't to me.
gah, I'm in such an irritated mood right now due to my lack of sleep.
and I won't be able to get enough sleep again tonight cause I'd have to do my stinking creative fabric and colouring.
I like what I study and all, but it's just annoying when it doesn't even give me anymore time to do what I want anymore.
I can't even go out to a mall, or watch a movie, or go for a little window shopping or something like that.
I haven't been to a mall to do just what I want in Jakarta in months.
how sad is that?
I must say, VERY.
I also have my job training thingo to settle.
see, were suppose to send our resume to any companies of our choice as long as it has got to do with fashion.
the thing is, this was suppose to be done a month ago.
and I haven't even got to it yet and job training starts on the 15 of march for 3 weeks.
Man I'm so unorganized.
busy busy busy.
I wish i was in kkay again, it's so chilled there:/.
Anyway,
I hear myself screaming in my head to get my FD sketches done.
well, duty calls.
cheers.
