You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one I'll always love

You could be the one who listens
To my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken
Pieces of the life I had before

First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken
Pieces of the life I had before

This week, we have interviewed...

WISHIX

You might have noticed Jessica, a.k.a wishix, for her manga blogskinning-style, her straightforward personality or even for getting second in the recently concluded (or not so recently) BSP Blogskins Competition. Get to know her better through this interview!

1. How about some background info on yourself first?
Hi BSP reader~ I'm wishix! yea, u probably be wondering who is this fellow? lolz. Well beside kindergarden, which I dun really remember already.. ( guess it's call PAP? XD) I graduated from Xishan Primary, Northland Secondary and then Nanyang Poly, specializing in Multimedia Infocomm Technology. I'm a manga lover! Started reading at the age of 12, 1st book I bought is ranma1/2, (if doreamon doesn't counted XD) That's the reason why my drawing style is like that.. well if anyone ever notice :P. I'm also a gamer! Favourite game series is Final Fantasy!! Currently playing Audition and Fantasy Tennis Online.

2. How did the name wishix come about?
Hmmm I like the word "wish" and It's the 1st online name I have given myself when I play my first mmorpg, Darkages when I was 14. But after awhile, I found that "wish" is too commonly used, so I decided to come out with something unqiue and not too far from what I originally wanted. That's how wishix comes about!

3. Why/how did you start blogskinning?
I like to create website, but it takes alot of time to do website. So I decided to do blogskin instead. Like this, I can do alot of different design without spending too much time on each website structure and stuff!

4. You do EVERYTHING in your blogskin, right? From the codings to the images. Is there anything you have to say about people who use other's images?
Erm, I think it's alright to use other's images, if you do some editing yourself. Nevertheless you still need to credit the original owner, best if you can inform them first and ask for their permission. Sometimes I will use the photos/images I found on the net for my skins too. Not all the skins I did are drawn by myself XD

5. Is it tough? To do everything in a blogskin?
Hmm not really.. cos u just need to do the coding once.. hmm 3 times to be exact, (for the different version, click type, scroll type...) and the rest is just changing the background images and the color schemes. Nevertheless, working out the whole colors and feeling can be tough.

6. I've seen your website, which is very professional done btw! What is the main reason your chose to get a domain?
I've got this domain for like 1.5 years till now. At first I bought this domain cause I need it for my online portfolio. I remember once when I look for jobs online, there's this design company which seems pretty cool, putting up this job advertisement. One of the requirement is to give them your own online portfolio and they highlight this sentence: " Website hosted by free hosting companies need not be write. If you don't understand, it means you're not suitable for this position :)." I remember at that time, I was using geocities.com.. and I felt a slap on my face XD That's when I decided to purchase my own domain, seriously.

7. You do customs for some major websites, right? Anything to say about the experience?
Hmm, do website for people is not as enjoyable as doing it for yourself.. lolz.. cause normally after changing for a few rounds for a particular website, it will end up becoming something quite different from what you first imagine it to be. Well, clients like it, we do it.. that's that... Sad to say, we are designers, not aritist. Designers means we do what people wants. Artist means they do what they want, like it or not, is your problem. XD. Still there are some fun projects, and surely, when the projects you handle goes "live" on the net, you have a great satisfaction.

8. Why do you like web designing?
Hmm why? I dunno too.. lolz just like it ba? hahaha

9. Do you work fulltime? Do you generate a lot of income from web designing?
Yes, currently working fulltime. Sad to say it's a job u do alot of work and get paid little.. >< Still I'm doing what I like, so.. I don't really mind... now.. XD If you are out for money, don't come in this industry... if not, who knows one day we might we colleagues! haha

10. [randomly generated question] Do you like rainy days?
Dun know y but I LOVE rainy days!!! LOL!! Perhaps cos it's cold? hehe but i just love it!

That's all for today, good night!
Elaine.
