Okay, I've been on hiatus for more than a month due to busy schedule. Man, that's quite long for being absent from the blogging scene.
It has been a month plus since I started working and the working life is kinda mundane and I'm still in the process of learning everything from the bottom. Well, it is a good learning ground for me and thus, I won't complain much regarding my job as a marketing executive for that company. I'm just waiting for my opportunity to travel abroad which will soon be a reality which was supposed to be a mere dream in the past.
Besides my job, I did a little side project of mapping for a website. However, this project is more of a interest-oriented rather than money making opportunity. Hence, I'm currently mapping the state which I'm living and have spent the 24 years of my life in (oops, I've accidentally revealed my age), Malacca. The map will be incorporated into a travel guide for the mentioned state.
Recently, Malacca has been recognized by UNESCO as one of the historical cities besides George Town, Penang which is located at the north of the peninsula of Malaysia. The announce of both cities as a historical cities was in fact a very welcome news to the local government as it will boost the tourism sector and thus create more development to the state. Thus, the travel guide would definitely be handy for all travellers who wished to visit this historical landmark with a history of more than 600 years.
Back to my little project.
I'm using Photoshop CS3 as my tool-of-trade for this task. This proves to be a challenge since designing a map is not as easy as it seems. It requires many stages in order to complete it and for each stages has multiple layers to be done. It is a daunting job, but it a welcome challenge to test my skills in Photoshop.
Here is the framework for mapper. And guess what? I'm way behind schedule. Luckily, the partners didn't rush my to meet my deadline, like the loan sharks. For that, I'm grateful ;)
I guess that's all at the moment. I'll try my best to post as much interesting topics and news as soon as possible. Thank you to those who still supporting this blog by visiting it at a regular basis.

PS: I might show some of my mapping work in future posts. So, please stay tune.
