Stepping into the adult working life

After a week of interviews, I finally got offered an Interactive Designer position at Vintedge! I'm very pleased with my basic salary. I think its quite high as a Poly Grad starting pay. At least not what I used to expect I would earn once I start working full time. 

Its another milestone in my life. Graduating from Polytechnic, and then starting work full time. Its all happening so fast. Soon, I will be holding responsibilities as an adult would. Like, paying my own bills and earning my own money to survive. I still can't believe that I'm starting work on Monday. It feels almost unreal.

I'm also currently working on a packaging design project as a freelancer for the cafe I'm working at on Saturdays. Timeline is 2 months and I hope I can cope between my full time work and my freelance design work. 

I've never regretted the choice of choosing the Designer route. I'm so glad I picked design for my course in Temasek Polytechnic. I don't know what I would have became if I weren't to be studying design. At least now I'm clear in my future goal for my career. 

I'm hoping my colleagues will be nice and fun people to be with and also be able to learn a lot there!

We have been forgotten

Just happened to came across this song on YouTube and I really liked the song and lyrics, which got me wondering about what goes into their minds when they happen to see me or hear my name? Old friends, almost-lovers and ex-boyfriends. What am I like in their memories, or am I already erased from their memories?

我說最怕快下雨的微風
I said I feared most the breeze that came before the rain
你說你也是一樣的
You said it was the same for you
我們笑著看天空 聊著聊著聊到哭了
We laughed, looking at the sky, as our talk unfolded into tears

我們都似乎被誰疼愛過
We seemed to have both been loved once
那些夢完美的無救
No rescue from a dream so perfect
好多相似的溫柔 也有不一樣的難過
Much similar tenderness with different sadness

兩個許多年的朋友 兩段愛來去的理由
Two friends of many years, two reasons for love lost
在事過境遷之後 我們在路邊敘舊
After everything had passed, we reminisced by the road
那被甩了一耳光的夢
A dream that was a slap in the face
像雷聲隆隆
Like the loud sound of thunder

我們都被忘了
We have been forgotten
都被忘了很久
Forgotten for a long time
時間就是一段路的小偷
Time is the thief on a journey
那雨傘下的衣袖 那等答案的面孔
The sleeve under the umbrella, the face awaiting an answer
多少快樂走成寂寞
How much joy has walked into loneliness

我們都被忘了
We have been forgotten
都被別人忘了
Forgotten by others
愛情該用多少字來形容
How many words should love be described by
你講的淡定輕鬆 我看著烏雲飛走
You said it so calmly, I watched the rainclouds drift away
因為所有你的話我都懂
Because I understood all you said
愛常有始無終
Love often has a beginning and an end
