I went to see the expo earlier today, and tough luck, I didn’t bring my digicam along with me… (sigh)… Anyway, the expo was crowded with plenty of printing machines, from 4×6″ size to things massive enough to print things 3.2 metres wide. I didn’t bother to ask the price though, hehehehe.

I met quite a lot people there, most of them are my juniors, the UPH web design class students, which we told to fill in their absence list there. I also met Surianto, Jeffri, Wirama, Edwin, Pipin, Hardy, etc. Godot was there, but I didn’t meet him.

Surprisingly enough, I met Oom Heru there, apparently Oom Benny is opening a stand for his company.

I was actually expecting to be able to bring a lot of paper samples home, and also to buy some paper supplies, mainly for the upcoming ensemble performance. But on the contrary, I got mostly brochures. So apparently I have to go to SuryaFancy anyway tomorrow.

I also purchased a custom stamp with the new Neuro-Designs logo on it (finally!), and 2 new t-shirts.

Anyway, click here for more info on the event. Oh, before you click on it, I have to let you know that the website sucks. No, seriously, it sucks.

Yipee!! I already got most of the things under control. Event booklets, check. Standing banner, check. Poster, check. Warta Jemaat inserts, check. CD duplication, check. CD covers, check. CD labels, check. Flash presentation, check. Invitation cards, check. Music books, not yet. Well, you can’t get everything in an instant, but that is only one left from ten. So I really do hope I can finish everything up by next Wednesday. Big thanks to Yona who already helped me with the photographs.

I won’t be assisting the lectures tomorrow, and there will be no Web Design class tomorrow. Everybody is recommended to go to the FGD Expo, not just for the ticket refund, but also (hopefully) to see what the printing process industry is. I think the UPH DKV students are lacking that knowledge. Lucky us who got printing jobs prior to the Printing Process subject, but those who don’t even know a thing about offset printing are subjects to airhead-ness in the class… Some of them doesn’t even know that we have to print not in 72dpi (sigh)…

Today was a very very tiring day… My day started by waking up late, at 11 AM, so I continued with lunch right after that, hehehe. I then went to Andira’s to print out a standing banner for the upcoming Great is the Lord performance, and also a set of stickers to be put on every single one’s music book for the performance. After that I went straight to Subur to print out 50 invitation cards, also for the performance. And because of the bridge repairs on Abdul Madjid, people seem to be taking detours all over Kemang and created a massive traffic jam on each ends of the region.

Anyway, the print out process at Subur didn’t take too long, and Pak Iwan called me when I was on my way back to Hi Res, telling me that several of the printed materials are done. And because I’m still at the Dharmawangsa region, I decided to stop by at Tulodong as well for a moment. And eventually, while I was there, we talked about pretty much everything, PCs, Macs, cameras, and even consoles. I never knew Pak Iwan is a console gamer too, and I also found out that he’s a relative to Tante Grace, one of my neighbors. This is indeed a small small world.

Anyway, after picking up the event booklets and CD stickers at Silver, I went back to Hi Res to pick up the standing banner and stickers. And yes, because of the bridge repairs, I still have to make detours just to get home, like everyone else. Thank God the toll road was quite empty, otherwise I might’ve gone nuts.

Bad news always come for us graphic designers, huh? When I was on the retreat yesterday, Dina told Karina, and she told me that Carson’s seminar was cancelled because he couldn’t get here. He has to attend a court or something.

I told Booi about this, and he e-mailed Carson. And yes, apparently he would have to be in court for a child custody hearing.

That’s just too bad, although I wish for the best for his two children. The only thing that I’m worried about now, is the refund… I PAID ALREADY!!!
