Friday... and I'm feeling miserable...
Why? dunno... maybe it's the weather, maybe I dun have enough sleep, maybe I'm having a runny nose that won't stop or maybe it's the client I went down to meet in town area in the evening....
It rained just before I went out, drats, nothing beats having the weather dampening your spirits just before going down to make a deal. Had a client who insist I meet her at HER place to present my portfolio for an actual day wedding assignment... told her very politely that it would be good that we meet near the MRT - give and take mah.... I am prepared to go from town all the way to Bt Batok leh... and she stays in Bt Batok leh... funny people... anyway, SMS until I sianz.. well, will have to wait till next Tues night to contact her again...
then met this couple who would like their ROM taken with, I quote "National Geographic standard kind of photography" but with a budget that makes you scream "WHAT?!" Not that I'm picky but realistically, I would never get to match those in the industry if I take on this kind of job. Well.. for the N.G standard kind of photos, sure.... if they pay me USD1'800 for the whole job, heck, I will even shoot Medium Format for them and print a 50 page collage for them.
Maybe my style dun suit them at all coz they were rather 'un-impressed' either with my style or my price... I dunno... not in the mood to push the envelope. Left the ball in their court while I go wallow in my mood swing.
Loitered the stretch from Cineleisure to CityHall MRT (yes, I have a way of tiring myself out and make myself feel worse) looking for comfort food but couldn't find any. Wanted to try retail therapy but it kinda hurts my wallet and I'm not in the best of moods to go look for things I like.
SO.... I did the next best thing to ease this shitty feeling of misery... I took a very long bus ride home (1.5 hrs to be exact), blasted my ipod mini's collection of songs all the way home and fell asleep thru the trip. My nose still drippy but not as bad as before.
Funny how my mood can swing from extreme ends... and I have not felt like this for a long time... perhaps I'm just not in my element today...
Prayed to God for a peace of mind as I really dunno what's troubling me and usually I know it's subconsciously. Ohh well, feeling much better now since I'm venting it out by typing here.... sleep awaits.....
B;ah...
going to Genting Highlands on Sunday early morning.....
