Hi guys, first up, I'm really sorry. Some of you would have noticed that i haven't been able to stream last 2 weeks. I agree this is really out of character and i do miss streaming and chatting with you awesome guys, i really do. However as i have just started an internship (which is no different than full employment really) in a post production house, I now do video editing as a full time job now.
As a result of being a part of the creative advertising agency industry, our working style is: Do until it is done, or everone who depends on you dies. It's like a conveyor belt, one part goes down and the rest can't function.
As a result of that, only after the end of my second week i managed to get my first day off ever. (yes, i did come into work the sunday before) Plus i work on saturdays, of which the half days can easily turn into full days.
I routinely come back from work at around 8-9pm, and after driving back in the rush hour jam for about 45 minutes to over an hour, i'm pretty exhausted by that point (manual car in traffic jam), on top of that, these last few days after i go straight to
place after a quick dinner to continue working on mika book until 1+ am, then i head home to sleep till 8 the next morning. We really want to finish the book before Chinese New Year (28th January). If everything goes to plan you should hear news soon about opening orders for the Mika storybook^^
So by the weekend im pretty beat, if i have a full day of work during saturday there is no way i can recover enough to stream on saturday midnight. Plus normally on saturday night i would go out and have dinner and spend time together as a family. (we have dinner seperately on weekdays, work related reasons)
So, I will still try to complete commissions with whatever time or energy i have left by the end of the day. Tired i may be but I will do my best!
And also, I plan to change my stream time from saturday midnight my time (i dont know who else starts streaming at midnight anyway lol) to sunday evening my time (+8 GMT) probably won't have an exact time, maybe around 7-8ish pm till 1-2 am perhaps.
I was thinking of posting a "IM BACKK" journal but my semester break never really came. Finish assignments, resubmit assignments, graduation show project, portfolio building and job searching. It was a rather packed December.
Once again to recap, sorry for my recent inactivities, adapting to working life that combines with my freelancing life came as quite a shock and it's going to take me a while to adjust to it. SDtv artstream will be pushed to Sunday evening (Sunday morning & aftenoon in US and Europe respectively) Hope you guys are okay with the change in timing^^ Since screwing my body clock by 5-6 hours every week is terrible for my health and office work productivity.
Lastly, a big thank you to you for reading this far, I really appreciate your understanding and your support^^
I hope to grow stronger and do better this year and show you more artworks and help make your ideas become a reality through your commissions. It's the start of a new chapter in my life and we can only wait and see how it goes from here.
That's all so far, and until the next... umm update or stream or something, take care and seeyasoon!
