I realised I’m starting to dislike doing freelance designing. In fact, I abhorrrrr doing it. Sometimes I dread picking up the phone or replying the lady’s messages.
The projects, I don’t care about them enough to creating an aesthetic appeal nor do I enojy the work process - going to her very Yin-ish office after school or during sat (damn tired can?), working on the crap Freehand 10 that always hang on me, the email attachment etc etc. The pay is about the same as working in the retail floor part time, just that it’s more flexible, but very impromptu all the time.
I think I would seriously consider stop working part time for her, if not because I’m trying very hard to stop taking pocket money from my Mom (still not on talking terms) and learn to be more “financially independant” at my age.
It feels good to earn & spend your own money and not having to report and reason for your every purchase.
But, Zhuan qian zhen xin ku.
IMO, you should take up project based assignments instead. the pay is better, the timing is more flexible and you get to work from home.
of course the cons would be unreasonable and indecisive clients. but since it’s project based, you probably won’t see them after you’ve completed the project. =)

Well, the good thing bout working part time for a boss is that, projects come to me almost instantaneously. I don’t have to meet people I don’t know (hate that), and I never have to worry about proposing fabrications, making up samples garments or sometimes, even the designs/colour.
shit, why am I complaining when it’s such a straight forward job?
