I aim high as i'm keen to fly.

Wheeeee, i find my blog dusty (perhaps i should've get it sweep more frequent *lame* hahaha~)
It has been a real-chilling-week i'd say as i'd met with lots of buddies, peers, brothers n' some new people, its always fun to know new people n' whats around your mates. Yeah, It was the reunion night with my forever 'Just 5ive' gang (Daniel, Kay, PohPoh, Jane) on the wednesday night (altho someone is missing, guess who ;p) and a sunday-fever-concert session with my 'UnderWEH(s)' @ GreenBox (Full-House man, it only happens once in a blue moon; tell me what else can i still ask for it, its the best week in May!)

Despite i'm like having fun all the time yet i'd managed to get a few jobs done!
Well, i'd throw some creative-bites to my clients during the weekdays, which i myself loves alot as well as they do. Its basically a birthday-grettingcard which you don't usually seen it(maybe never), as it has contained much more loves n' efforts that you'd ever imagine, for real :) Not gonna say much, I'll be uploading the Final-Artwork for you folks to judge!
Glad for jeslyn(my client) n' her loved ones; thanks for the opportunity for me to play with what i do best with great appreciations. Wishes ya both wholeheartedly!
Exclude the design-part, i was trying to attach/approch a few more merchant for my MEPP(Micro Easy payment Programme) plan, which i previously worked on with my bloodbro Daniel, before i get myself commited to IBCA as their Creative Manager(weee, the title sound nice haha!). Yeap, i'm back on track, starts from next monday, i'll be fully-commited to my employer IBC Group :)
Whao, i doubt the feelings would be hundred n' one percents excited n' ever-challenging (as i'm feeling exactly now, can't wait until the 1st day), as i miss the working envirornment so much, and i'm exuberant,arousing with anticipation! Ya know i'm a talkative-kid that talk all day. Imagine, i've been working at home close to two months, imagine that!!! Besides, its time to revise n' hands-on the almost-pay-back course, 'Organizational Communicatoin'. *darn* But i think my practical side are alot better than the theory ones. hahahaha~
Anyway, i'm gonna stay close to this, provides the latest report for ya'll!! Always aim high(tell the sky) you're keen to fly, high!
Believe that 'Today was a fairytale'.
Cheers,
Monkey.

Super MAN [;,,;]

Oh yea', today is the day i'd conducted a softcore-stunt-scenes on my own(the tough way, no tricks, its 100% me n' my body), on behalf of MayJune(as my size was 80% confusing-similar with her's~ hahaha, pity MayJune, i supposed i'd done a lil' damage to her image eversince the wig was on my head :p wish i got the picture from somewhere to show you folks.)
Basically, its a rolling-from-top-of-the-staircase-scenes. An inner-protection was given, paperbox with tapes covered all inside of my body, underneath the s-size polo tee. Close to 10cases, i rolled like a man for 5 times(not even an ouch haha!Super MAN...weeeeeeee). Not a very long day as it only takes 2 hours to get things done. This would another precious experience along the journey of being a multi-talented-actor(as i dream), i strongly believe that someday somehow, i'll be making use of it, again! [fingers crossed]
Last but not least, i'm pretty sure blue-black(s) are around the corner, of my butt n' other parts [Ninja Mode], n' not to forget the cares n' loves from the team, they're so loving n' caring n' i felt blessed for the job.
Thanks a mil,
Monkey.

"Designing is never as pressure as design for your own; as pleasured as u received ur own design."

Weeee, been enjoying to be a King of no one, no where n' NO MONEY (to be specific, i'm not saying i don't have a penny in my pocket, just frequently felt that i've lack of it, haha!) Despite the fact that i've had a lil' financial difficulties, i'm still happy with it, for once hahaha!! Although i don't have a permenant job at the moment, but i'm also not taking for granted n' live life lifeless, i do compose my ideas in plan, construct n' work them out, trying my best to proceed them to the next level as now i've had all the time/space that i'd wanted to, if i didn't put them in action now, i can't see foresee the next anymore.
I'd listed them in a to-do-list, the very first thing i wanted to make it was my very own business card that able to resembling me, my style, my capability, my strength n' most essential, my mindspace. The concept was established yet the direction wasn't clear. So, i'd spent one whole day doing research n' any possible reference works that you'd ever think of it. One whole folder of reference was collected after an effort of one whole day googling, i finally started to create a blank AI-artboard in a midnight, approximately 1 a.m., putting drafts on my artboard.
I was curious how the other designers they start a design but individually, i'd a zeal on mocking up logo/mascot/heading before anything else, its a routine for me, as i always believe that they are resembling something, perhaps a hint/guidance that lead you to the next stage. Well, talk about my very own lgo, i've had this idea/concept very long ago, its to play with my Surname- Goh. :D Can you think of anything folks? Well, i'd want to clarify that i'm a crazy dude which don't give a damn to all the R'(Religion view, Rules n' Regulations n etc.), i've always wanted to optimize the small alphabert 'h', transform it into somehow or rather a mix of 'h' n' 'D' (get me? hehehehe). In conclusion, it will be transofmred from GOHinto GOD; However, i'd shifted the "O" away n' replaced it with double ':' as i want every of my audience maximize their creativity when they saw my business card, its a kickstarter!
The question is pretty simple, what could you imagine when you saw a statment like this- "G: :D"?
It doesn't took me long to mock up the logo as i'd foresee it in my mind far long ago. The rational for "G: :D" is simple.
1) as a designer, we're meant to be creative n' sensitive, and illustrate "GOH" into "GOD" to the audience simply shows the magic of creativity(at least i believe that haha, don't you? Simple is Beauty, my dad often says it.), n' its pretty funky i'd say n' thats me!
2) if only you noticed, GOH CHOON HO has 4 "O(s)" in a row, aren't it simply fullfil the act of ": :" n' resembled my identity?
3) as my title is Graphic Designer, i believe you could visual it through "G: :D" aren't you?
Depite the fact that everything seems to be well-routined, but it still took me a 2 days to processed, and till now it only claimed as a 99% work by me, i'm still finetuning it. (a big laugh) Guess a designer never satisfy easily, they're diehard comrades.
"Designing is never as pressure as design for your own; as pleasured as you received your own design." Quote me.



G : : D
(p/s: There will be some sneakpeak for my "G: :D" business card. hope ya'll like it.)
I ♥ Design as much as I ♥ my life,

G: :D.

Nothing Fear Us n' We Fail Nothing!

Whoa! After a back to back schedule running MEPP with my bloodbrother Daniel, i'd just realized it has came to end of the month already, April is stepping down n' May is taking over soon! Well, MEPP is something new that i'd put my legs in, something which is totally out of my filed/line/interest/profession(n' just whatever you could've had in your mind), something which i find interesting n' rich of potential, something which i feel fun n' fund; and with the helping hands from my bloodbrother, i seriously get the fun of working together, its a total pleasure without pressure workflow, altho things happens without an alarm, we still managed to overcome the obstacles that prepared by some 'humanbeings' & 'god', i can only say that there is this strong bond in between us, nothing fear us n' we fail nothing(there is actually some stories n' why don't you ask me in personal n' let me know that you're keen to know the details :D *typical trailer*)!
Daniel started from stage 1 since day 1 n' he is kind enough to let me joined him halfway. We looked for merchants to tide-up n' work as our strategy n' its to hit to the Malay Wedding Expo that happens to be held in Mid Valley Convention Centre from 22-25 Apr. We wanted to workout an exclusive deal with our easy payment scheme provided to our merchants n' introduce to their target audience from there on. To be frank, we're anticipating good respond thru out the whole expo. Althought, things may not happen as what we aim for, not exactly good or bad yet we do believed we've had done a great job, its all about branding at this stage cause our product wasn't exactly approached to our target audience, and this happens to be the main motive of us joining this expo. Its a test-run, its all bout branding our product/services, educating our audience but not about how many sales we made(we later on found out this), we aimed for the chain-effects instead, we're just tipping our toes into the water to text how deep it could be. As returned, we managed to made 1 confirmed deal n' another pending deal which we need follow up after the event, besides, the most important part is that we begin to have our very first database(contacts of potential customers)!! Goob Job bros, we're best partner *hehehehe* After 2 weeks of back to back diehard(appointments, strategy talk, designing, footworks n etc), finally, we can have a good rest tonight n' a day off tomorrow before getting back to the track.
So, i'm gonna 'pop' to my bed now n' meet someone else in my dreamland(guess who?) *Cunning smile*
Nitez Folks. Hugz n' loves,
monkey.

Dream/ SweetDream.

After years i wanted to be free from being a slave n' get to do things that is worth of doing(like meeting your dream) n' i'm officially free to pick up the journey now n' the first step is to qualify myself as a freelancer. Time flys just like my money does, well, its my time to work extra harder as i've a goal to strike infront, i know i had.
Being a freelancer has pro n cons(just like everything else); i love the pro parts, indeed, its very fun n' chilling(in doing things that you only like/wish too) without 'monitoring' by anyone(as long you meet the deadline sharp) which also means that i'm free from those bitchy n' bossy idiots that might possibly exist in every workplace, n' now they are gone(hurrrayyy!!). Besides, i'd have more space to brainstorm(this might as well be the cons, its a 50/50 thing) n' trace back to my long-pending-plans.
Talk bout cons, phhewwwwww~, income is always the first thing that bump to me, its not easy to mantain a standard pay that i've got it from the previous job n' not to mention that i want to overhead it, before i know that how many jobs i could get in the month(pray for me folks, spare me your power n' spirits haha)! Beside income, i  wholeheartedly felt that being too free ain't no a good thing for me cause i'm just one of those demotivated fellows. I'm monkey, i just love to have fun! At this point, i realized that i've to make more fund to meet fun!
Anyway, i've got ym scenes done for Age Of Glory 2, just a 3 days scene yet i enjoyed alot! Its the very first time experience for me to' have a total scene with the main-actress, its pretty cool huh, just 2 fellows acting(i love it so much). I wholeheartedly pray for more in the future as being an actor was a dream of mine eversince i'm in form-2, you know its always easy to make a dream but not easy to mock up whats in it, if you're not determine that its a dream or just a sweetdream. Be with me folks, be my judges!
Good night folks, wish ya'll have a nice dream tonight n' sleep tight!
(Gonna start my work before i got my head on heavy enough to fall asleep.)
Much Loves,
Monkey.

n' its official, like a referee's whistle.

100410, the day i officially checked-out from MSC-Camp n' now i can claimed myself as a well-trained-comrade!
A million thanks n' respect to all my seniors, leaders, generals n' etc, not to be forgotten the bitches *duuuu* (censored), i wouldn't be well-trained without ANY of your CONTRIBUTIONS! I'd fully received(salute)!
080410, Once in the blue moon i felt weight on my legs to step out from here, as i miss those good old days badly(i thought i'm not supposed too); they are part of the splurge of my life, i mean those happy one, you know i enjoyed being crazy n' doing nuts kinda things with all my fellows; not gonna mentinoed how much i'm missing ya guys n' what i'd done in the past 2 n' half years, i just don't want to look back cause new chapther is waiting me ahead!
Once again, thanks for all the loves, peers, buddies, folks, mate n' jokers! Life here wouldn't shine without any of your attendance!
Lots of loves to my comrades S.K.U, i'll be back!
Monkey.
