Web design frustration

It’s been while since my previous blog. There is a lot going on in the office. At the same time, I had been push by someone to design a new website.

How do you work with people who wait for you to give them every direction on what to do? How do you expect the designer to work when you don’t even know what you want to put on the site? Do I have to tell you to go look at as many sites as possible to see how they look like and what are the good points you would like to have on your site too?

So what is next?

I go and look at many sites, copied them, make notes so that I can show you. I will point out what are the things that you should have. I spent my nights doing all these after a long day at work. I should be spending more time on the technical part because that is what you cannot do.

What makes a website a website? It’s the content! Do I have to tell you that is the minimal that you must do?

If you don’t work on the content, you might as well don’t revamp your website. End of story.

Kite Flying

The only special thing I did this Hari Raya break is to fly a kite.

It is not a surprise someone gave me. I had to find a place and tell someone to go there. Honestly, this kind of thing should be a surprise for a girl. Especially a girl like me. I love being in touch with nature.

Although I like shopping but going to a shopping mall is not something I look forward to during a holiday. I love shopping on ordinary weekends. Well, I don’t have much money to shop anyway. I also don’t have that special feeling to dress up and make myself look nice for some date. What date? Where? Nobody tells me there’s going to be a special date.

This is my kite. It is not with me. Someone took it with him and I cannot forsee myself ever get to fly it again in the near future. I want my kite :(

It is a symbol of freedom to fly up high for me.
