Diary of a freelancer.

Monday – Meeting with GH Kuala Lumpur Nefrology Dept to talk about Kidney Failure. highlight of said meeting:

1. Found out that said kidney campaign organization logo is a small little peanut shaped man in a top hat, doing a jig.
2. Found out that Malaysia has the MOST diabetic leading to kidney failure sufferers. In the world. Hell yeah. Whoa.
3. Found out that the whole purpose of the presentation is to apparently drown people in so much information that they run screaming from the theatre.
4. Found out that the whole committee for the Kidney Association Malaysia comprises of seven pregnant women and one very tired looking smug faced doctor.

*thoughtful.*

Ah, I couldn’t be arsed about it anyway. I’m going to sleep.

Tuesday – Meeting with some studio in Brickfields who wanted me to do a 30 sec flash animation. Highlight of meeting:

1. 4 hastily scribbled frames drawn on the back of some rough piece of a4 scrap paper does not constitute a storyboard. You moron.
2. I didn’t understand what the fuck he was saying, when he tried to explain each frame. Whaddaya mean, just “make the character do anything lah”?
3. Wearing a kain pelekat (some weird sarong, only more designer and k3wl and l33t and shit coz it’s got a checkered pattern, so stop laughing and fuck off lah) to Brickfields and realizing that you’ve lost your car keys is not cool. It’s soooo not cool.
4. finding out that it’s IN the car ignition slot and that the said car isn’t locked either redeems the coolness factor. Yeah. Go me!

Wednesday – Meeting with GH Kuala Lumpur ICU for Terminally Ill Presentation. Highlight of meeting:

1. I’m scared of dying now. Can someone euthanise me if anything happens to me please?
2. Perking up a dying person is waaaaaaay much more harder than perking up a living person.
3. There are three types of terminally people:

a) The comatose.
b) The bravely struggling to lead some semblance of normal life.
c) The petulant.

4. There is no way one can walk back to the carpark without some strong emotional sentiment lodged deeply in the heart.
5. I managed to use the word petulant.

Thursday – Spent most of the time generally coaxing the computer to do work through the usual method i.e. generally kicking the computer, giving it a few good thump s on the back and threatening it with a overly large sausage and a petulant looking flower.

Thursday evening – Heard some weird muffled thumping noises outside. Peeked out the door to see 12 year old brother furiously beating the shit out of a pillow with sticks. The said brother is then joined by stick wielding friends who proceed to bludgeon pillow to death.

*Closes door quietly*

Friday – Meeting with Mia Palencia to submit design for her backdrop for her party. Highlight of said meeting:

1. Found out that I was also invited.
2. Found the name Greased Lightning to be funny for some weird obscure reason.
3. Realized how stupid I look wearing a striped shirt and a striped tie to boot.
4. Found out that printing a 17ft poster is a lot cheaper than I expected.
5. Wondering whether I can print out shu qi as wallpaper literarily now.

Friday night – Met up with friends at various clubs and bars and hot spots in KL. Highlights of said meetings:

1. Networking, baybeh, networking.
2. Alcohol, baybeh, alcohol.
3. Cigarettes, baybeh, cigarettes.
4. Having intimate relations with a toilet bowl as you puke yer guts down its throat.
5. Setting off a few car alarms accidentally.
6. Finding out that the Melbourne shuffle that you were trying to do looks more like an ostrich going through rigor mortis as it died doing the after pee obligatory shake and twitch.

Yes, alcohol makes me sooooo coherent.
