Finally...The Crab Speaks

i typed 'crab' on the internet and this popped out. those sick, sick humans.

it's been a while since i blogged. sorry, been busy looking for fish to eat. and after three months, i finally realised that those stupid humans removed the fishes. so now i'm supposed to eat just fish pellets? harlowww, there's a reason why they're called FISH pellets okayyyyy...you stupid people don't eat cat food do you?

sigh. it makes me so sad. last month the other crab crawled out and dried up again. they found him in the morning and put him back in the water, but it was too late. he died after five minutes in the water. i thought i heard him say something just before he died. something like: you're way too beautiful girl, that's why it'll never work. then i remembered that crabs don't speak. it was probably those ampee-three things from the humans. (in case you don't know, ampee-threes are brutal devices humans use to lock other humans in to sing for them).

those stupid crabs. they never learn. i mean, how hard is it to understand that if the humans don't come into our tanks, we shouldn't go into their ampeee-threes and sipi-yous and stuff.

anyway, i was waiting for them to buy another new junior crab. waited, waited and waited for weeks, still nothing. finally...they brought in a new human.

how stupid.

if i recall correctly, there are already one, two, three, four, FIVE other humans in the office. five humans, one crab. and what do they do? bring in another human. real smart, people. no wonder they need so many of you to care for just one crab.

just when i thought things couldn't get any worse, they did. recently, they brought in some new creatures. nothing as disgusting as more humans, but still pretty disgusting. and get this: they're called SUGAR GLIDERS. ooh, what darlings.

like the humans say, a picture speeds a thousand worms. feast your eyes on my supposed new friends.

cute?

sweet?

NOT!!!!!!

crabs have beautiful shiny shells. these little monsters have ugly hair all over them.
crabs are still, silent and intelligent. the monsters crawl all over the place like brainless prawns in a frying pan.
crabs hunt for fish and tear them apart with their ferocious claws. and these brats eat - guess what - GRAPES AND APPLES. HAH! only humans and donkeys eat such rubbish, morons!

and the nerve! these things actually have NAMES. i was here long before crabs made ccplusj cool, and never once did they give me cutesy names like 'chewie' and 'suggie'. i wish i had a name. when i was born, my mom called me 'son'. then they sent me to the pet shop, where the people called me 'new stock'. and now all my life in ccplusj, i've only been called 'the crab'. sigh.

oh look, they're playing with the monsters again. i bet even if i wore a clown suit and break danced, they wouldn't care. so sad.

i wish i was a human. everyone loves humans. except for me, of course.

humans are never alone. they're always surrounded by other humans, eating together, doing things together. they get happy so easily. when they leave the office. when they talk on the telephone to 'cly-ens'. when they receive a paper that comes every month. all crabs can look forward to are fishes. or sadly in my case, fish pellets.

well, that's enough crabspeak for a day. till next time, stupid humans!

My philosophy of Career. (Bo Le & Thousand-Miles Horse)

Legend has it that some very rare horses are capable of traveling a thousand miles in a day.
These rare animals are known as "Thousand-mile horses".
Bo Le (伯樂) of the Warring States period is regarded as the Master who discovered these rare and highly prized horses.

Story Begins.... It happened in year XXXX...

When I was an intern, I always see myself as a "Thousand-miles horse".
During my internship in a talent casting studio working as a talent casting photographer, there was once I work continuously for 36 hours. (Don't do it, It actually harm your body badly)

Then I went back to my advertising world. I read, eat, sleep, think & breathe about it.

What I was waiting for, is the "Bo Le" of my life.

And when I started CC+J Adhaus with CheeChiaw, I knew my role has changed from a "Thousand-miles horse" to "Bo Le".

I've been spotting for Thousand-mile horses for CC+J, thus we have the Team members with CC+J now & we will do this continuously .

BUT...we don't want them to be Thousand-miles horses always, we want them to be "Bo Le" themselves one day.
We train, we provide the platform... & most importantly, we provide chances.

Teh is now Head of Interactive (from Interactive Designer), he is slowly transforming into Bo Le from a Superb Thousand-miles horse, (In fact, he really did physically ran Thousand-Miles for the Team & CC+J, truly appreciate it.)

In CC+J, everyone has equal chances to be a "Bo Le"!

Looking forward to see the NEXT.

Cheers!

THE RAT!


Ratatouille!

Great! It was such an inspiring movie for me. I was so overwhelmed after watching it.

You can make a difference! You can make a stand!... no matter how small you are, or how small you think you are.

This movie really lights up my soul.

You can be whoever you want to be if you stand for it.

TPA & TTC

I've just had a drink with a girl, the girl who I set as the title, Truly Potential Art Director.

Since her college time, she was doing really well, graduated as one of the best student. 1 thing amazed me about her is her persistance on doing great work.

I see that 1 thing can make her Fly is her level of confidence. And the freedom of speech, she can definitely excel in an environment that allow her to boldly speaks her opinion and express her creative ideas.

I can see a FANTASTIC Creative Team with Her & *Mok (Truly Talented Copywriter). SEE? =P

I won't say her name now, but I do foresee in near future, she will join us and grow with us together as a team!

Looking forward to see that...

*See the blog Mok wrote, I admire his fresh angle on looking at things (Especially 'Crab Speaks'.) I love it.

Awal Day

In addition to our CC+J-exclusive Gerak Day, now comes... AWAL DAY!

Before the cock crowed, before the newspaper arrived, before the roads were jammed, 5 bleary-eyed people walked into office, ready to begin a day's work.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen...on August 1st 2007, CC+J Adhaus worked from 5am to 2pm! (No clients were harmed in the making of this, of course)

So, team, how does it feel like going to work at 5am?

"It's like going fishing!"

"Remarkably productive. No pre and post lunchtime syndrome, and lunchtime itself of course."

"At last I can see the sunlight going home. I feel human again."

"Hah? 2 o clock already?"

Conclusion: Going to work at 5am sucks. Going home at 2pm ROCKS! In your face, agency life! :p

Note: The extremely well-received Awal Day has since become a weekly affair, though switched to a more humane time of 7am to 4pm. Unfortunately, people still oversleep every time.

Crabdolences

Starlit wishes
Half-eaten fishes

That cloudy morning
You stopped crawling

Why did you leave us?
Weren't you happy in CC Plus
J?

We'll always love you
Though you stupidly escaped and crawled under the CPU

Now we need to fork out money
To buy a new crab for the agency

Stupid crab, you'll be missed!
Rest in peace.
