I remember when I went there for the interview, I loved the environment.. totally! I thought it was fun sitting on high mounted chairs, and the office was very bright and refreshing. That's comparing with musictec's office, which was quite suffocating for me cos there's no windows, and we dont go out for lunch. yeah.
Though I didnt really take a good look around the office, i like it! :D Then I thought I couldnt get in.. cos the way they put it, the standard sounds very high -.- so i thought i had no chance lo. Since it's my first job, i didnt have much portfolio to show, only the better works are done during when I was in musictec.
Yeah, anyway, After a few days, boss called me and told me I was accepted. I'm like.. O.O I didnt want a job at that time cos its only 2 weeks after my attachment! x.x so u see.. nearly died! At least must have some fun first ah.. x.x But then.. I love the environment.. So it's actually a very huge attraction to me.. And besides, it's hard to get a job lo, and it's a design house.. so i guess i shouldn't let go of this opportunity. yup, so i accepted!! hehehe
Tough ah at first!! OT for months mann! Almost everyday we're staying till at least 8pm, sometimes even 11 +.. MEMORIES. woah. But after that, the workload sort of went down. So not so bad afterall.
Besides fun and laughter.. there are also maoness and pek cekness. Sometimes seriously feel like flipping the table, stomp and go. waaaa.. clients fault lah. very frustrating at times.
Seriously, I really learnt alot after working after this period of time. I went in with zero knowledge of CSS, little knowledge on html coding in code view, web design (oh at that time i suck at it and i HATE it), and also limited knowledge of flash design. I've improve alot now! hehe.. and im glad to say i can code quite-ok and design quite-ok.. though i didnt really have the chance to practice flash there.. But i still can practice some of my actionscript there. :)
Maoness comes whenever clients make unreasonable requests.. or got to redo stuff.. or overwrite our own stuff.. and got to redo.. ahhhhhhh.
My worst project was a flash CD-ROM. WAAA!! I worked at home , brought to tom's place.. TO DO !!
oh well.. It's been all well. Blessing in disguise. Although mao, frustrated, always strangle ah toise, we learnt alot of stuff, esp like when we see how the sales handle clients, when we meet clients, how does it work, how to go about doing a website, how to handle alot of situations.. So im really glad to have got into ape. :) Really grateful for them to let me have a chance to start of my first job in this environment :)
