2011-08-29T00:49:00.002+08:00

This holiday is gonna be a super duper awesome one

Time to see my plans fulfill hehehe *to do list rolls for 100 meters*

Before I go on to babble...

Some quick updates, in general I'm doing fine!

Been very happy these few weeks in general

Happily tired but enjoying what I'm doing

Although there are times I felt so

My blog is not dead, it was left alone while I was busy trying

to fulfill my duty as a student and misc LOL

Since I'm having HOLIDAYS, it is now time to add some laughter

into the blogging world ok... start! HAHAHAHAHA

I got carried away with my nonsense again -.-

This is the season to catch up with my family and friends.. falalalalalalala~ :D

It is a blessing to be able to serve

Today I'm blessed

Went to CCH this morning with a much heavy spirit

(I'm still in the midst of whether to give up or to keep on)

I was troubled

To clarify, I'm not suicidal hahaha

So today's bible lesson talks about "never give up (even when others had

already given up on you)"

Galatians 6:9

"So let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up,

the time will come when we will reap the harvest."

Although I was doing my might trying to give my best shots

I was touched by God's love...

Peace

If you think that's call "taking things for granted"..

I am going to show you what's really taking things for granted

Tell me what you want... straight in the face

Having the time during hols

2011-06-21T12:57:00.003+08:00

YEAH I had/ having fun during the hols... :D

2011-06-20T23:24:00.002+08:00

It is not easy to get this over and done with
It feels like a motion and I am just part of it...

I have thoughts of giving up and starting everything afresh
And later told myself not to give up and just continue on

Life is not all about acing
Life is more than that

2011-06-10T07:15:00.002+08:00

IF I knew you smoke, I would have done something on anti smoking. Ahhhh~
Anyway, that sounds like an awfully perfect idea for the campaign module next semester.

2011-06-09T07:58:00.002+08:00

hmmm... can I translate the previous post into chinese?

Want to write this "情书" for daddy... haha

My Dad

2011-06-09T07:27:00.002+08:00

From my point of view which may be true...

Fathers' day are not as widely celebrated as to Mothers' day

Apart from the mothers who are the "heroine"

of the household is the fathers

I would like to call the fathers "the silent hero"

To me, this is especially true in Asian context

The father goes out to work,

comes home and feed the family

(Mothers are more of the emotional support of the family,

that's why I would often cry out for my mother when I fell down as a kid...

Woke up in the morning looking for my mother and yes,

I do admit I still look for her in the morning)

Back to the fathers

Take for example my dad

he goes out to work...

comes home...

watch television...

sleep... and of course not forgetting the loud and

almost unbearable snores

For my family and I apart from my dad we have never

seen him at work before

Under the hot sun supervising his workers

In the office doing all the paper work

And had a hard time dealing with technology

But yet with little education he made a little success in his trade

Coming from a traditional chinese family

My dad is a man with few words and surprisingly likes to tell joke

Beside the funny bones he has, he is also a man whom you can

seek some great advice from

He don't put his love for the family into words but through

his actions I know that he loves us

Although my dad is not a believer in Christ

I often see his love for me as of God's love for me

The selfless sacrifies he had make for the family and I

Providing for me and making sure I never go hungry

Cheering up me whenever I am down

Giving me advice when I needed them

He is my silent hero

If my dad can love me that far... How much more God's love for me?

God's love is beyond description and I can say is that

I'm grateful for his agape love

God and dad, I love you both...

and I believe one day my dad will come to know about

the saving knowledge of Christ

How He loves us so.

Cover: "How He Loves" by The Glorious Unseen

Lyrics:
Oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so

He is jealous for me
He loves like a hurricane
I am a tree, bending beneathg the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions - eclipsed by glory
And I realize just how beautiful You are and how great Your affections are for me

And, oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so

He loves us so
He loves us so
He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves

We are His portion
He is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking

And then heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss
My heart turns violently inside of my chest
And I don't have time to mantain these regrets when I think about the way He loves us

Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves
Yeah, He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves

And, oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so

"Finish assignments on Sunday" operation failed. -.-

Too drowsy and itchy to do anything all thanks to

my overly sensitive and all almighty immune system. lol

An allergy reaction that send me straight to see the doc.

Nothing serious... I was just irritated.

Now is "Finish assignments on Monday".

Woola~

2011-05-26T08:06:00.003+08:00

Next week is the final week for the term and I am in a dilemma.

I don't know if I should look forward to it anot. lol

I've got only 4 days of school and I've got 4 submissions next week.

Which is equivalent to 1 submission each day.

Which is also equivalent to 1 choing shuai day every 3 days before each submission.

Hahaha, I've basically tried which ever method I could to de-stress

but it looks like the only way to de-stress is to final ever single one

of the assignments as soon as possible...

Probably that would kill the anxiety (muahahaha).

*Everything chop chop before Sunday ends*

And whatever I can do, I do it to my best.

Whatever I can't do... GOD HELPPPPPPPPPPP!!

Check out my very much unrested face lol

Freshly taken 20 minutes agoooo

Yeah yeah!

I'm showing off my beautiful face.

Muahahahahahaahaa...

Number 6 week out of 7 weeks.

7 week here I comeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

CHOING UHHHHHHHHH! :D:D:D:D

Today God reveals Himself...

2011-05-23T08:12:00.006+08:00

...as the Artist!
Took this went I was on my way to school on my dad's truck...

(Waking up in the morning is awesome, free transport, free food

and beautiful skies which is free too! hahahaha...)

The skies painted with many colors look fantastic today.

Reminds me of His covering over my life.

What a beautiful morning and today will be the most awesome day yet! :)

GO GO GO!

This is my VEFX team aka Skyscrapers.

I've received a message from my lecturer that our team did well..
and it felt great! :D:D:D

I couldn't have done this alone...

This is an awesome team with awesome team mates!

God is good! :)

I CAN TOTALLY JUMP MY WAY UP TO HEAVEN!

(hehehe)

More to come!!

Hahaha... this cat is too cute to resist ;)

Still a little hesitant about going for class later... :|

Last evening...

2011-05-15T08:15:00.003+08:00

I sat down at starbucks with a friend and my ever flooding assignments.

That evening turns out to be productive and nothing beats that productivity.

At least I am not as flooded as before...

Although there's still a long way to go... (long long way to go)

I've probably gave myself a high expectation and it might be time to lower it down.

I'm not saying having a high expectation is not good just that everything got to have a balance...

Heheh, does that also means assignment got to have its own balance too?

The lecturer got to stop giving us anymore assignments for now.

We are swimming in them already!

It felt really good to be seated down with a friend.

Without much chatting, we each tries to complete our own individual assignments.

Sometimes being just there (physically), enjoying each other presence is much bliss.

Yes?

"I'm praying for a storm tonight. I need to walk in the rain." ~ Misty Edwards

These few days/ weeks had been stressful; launching a handful of assignments at one go, feels like cooking a handful of dishes at one go. Sometimes, there's just no motivation to do nothing and anything at all.

I need a break/ (for my much fried up brain)

For the whole of yesterday, I sat at home, doing nothing. It felt good, (almost) a day without a phone call to answer, emails to reply and just plain good rest at the comfort of my bed, television and books. The result, a much fresher me! Although it might be better with the weather wasn't that warm.

Today was made better by a couple of friends and I thank God for them. :)

2011-05-12T10:23:00.000+08:00

With one more year to go in SP, I'm planning ahead for the future. It feels like a déjà vu... I remember planning for my post secondary school. Back than it was clear cut; get into a course that I'm interested in and do well in it.

Well things didn't go as planned... I got into my second choice instead and like how I use to "stumble" into Art as a subject for O levels, I "stumbled" into branding. Brand design which include typography, marketing, graphic, illustration and interactive to be exact. I never see myself doing this until semester 2 of year 1.

IT WAS LIKE A DISASTER -.-..

Which later turn into a love hate interest and I'm still struggling to make good terms with it. On the other hand, "stumbling" is good... which opened another window for me to view issues.

If I weren't doing design, I would probably went to college and be covered in law or medical books already! (My childhood dream was to be a doctor). hahaha so different from what I'm doing now!

Back to planning ahead, again it is clear cut; SOT and then get a degree in photography in a good university. I'm looking forward. :)

2011-05-11T14:55:00.002+08:00

The best thing that could ever this year yet...

Attending church with my mother on Mothers' day :)

I love my mother for her love for me.

2011-05-01T21:00:00.002+08:00

Backaches plus I can't paddle with a right hander's paddle for nuts!

Went in circles on the sea for hours... and I felt like vomiting already.

Suddenly kayaking is not my thing. -.-... (can't imaging how I did it when I was 15 years old).

My friend said that my money fly away. hahaha! (with the flying action).

Yeah so we thought that courses should be held at lakes instead of the sea.

You can't believe how much I will agree on that.

The very fact that the lakes are alot cleaner than the sea.

(I saw one chips packaging floating on the right, then a bottle on the left.

Broken glass near the shore and worst, black oil all over me).

Shall try something else until courses are taught on lakes. ;)

After a awfully long (and hard) talk with my lecturer. He mentioned something that intrigued me.

"It is not how you do it but what are you doing?"

Often we are overly concerned about the execution of a project as much as we overlooked the conceptual part of a project. Yes some of us can have great skill but is technicality the only thing that our future employers look for?

However I certainly believe that the conceptual part of us is what most people looks for. Rather than how well you know about a certain software, people wants to know what we are thinking; our thoughts... and ideas.

Although the technic part is important, the conceptual part weighs more.

I want to be known for great ideas.

2011-04-20T15:23:00.002+08:00

School just started. Don't know if I should be anything glad about that. This semester start means double the standards and apparently, "mistakes are not to be tolerate". (What happened to the "school is the best place to make mistakes"!?)

Sigh... Well anyway...

It was a good start to school. With almost half the cohort in China, I wonder how they are doing. On the side note, this is the final year in poly. I am much excited about it since the last year is has always been the best year for me. :)

This year I am going to try a couple of new medium for the projects in school. Yes I know that the last year is the most important year in school and many think that I shouldn't be doing anything too "dangerous" during this period of time. However, I still believe nothing is too dangerous when it comes to design and art and media... everything is much worth a try, at least for once. I'm a risk taker. That doesn't mean that I'll jump down a building without safety measures. That would have been stupid. :P

So here it go! Semester one of my final year.

2011-04-12T22:20:00.002+08:00

One more year in school.

Just take a peek on my progress report.

TIME TO BUCK UP!

I really need to do a miracle in the final year. (GPA 3.7 ++ over 4.0) to pull it up. Have to make it up for my previous semester all thanks to my inability to climb to school that is set on the hilltop with a broken foot. Good thing is, I am well covered with the medical leave thou!

GPA might not mean much of a thing I know. But to further my studies, unfortunately it comes with much importance. Glad that I've recovered, hopefully what happened during my final year in secondary school will repeat itself. (起死回生) :P

This is will be a good year for my GPA. :D:D:D

Roberty day

2011-04-09T23:54:00.002+08:00

WAHHH! It was a robert day which ended well...

Woke up literally on the wrong side of the bed. Woke up, eyes still closed, wanted to get out of bed and then "bang" hit the wall. Opened my eyes realized my head is where my feet usually at.

("-___-) 1

Get off bed and started to decorate the floor with bloodied red poker dots. Rub nose too hard. And unfortunately bled again during the children church service on duty. ("-___-) 2

Couldn't find the particular food store after 3 rounds around the food center and only found it after 3 rounds around the stores. Best part... I didn't manage to get it. ("-___-) 3

Got angry moments after an incident. Don't know what got into me but still sure that I can make decisions for myself. ("-___-) 4

But things weren't as robert as it seems... I met up with my beautiful primary school classmates. One of whom I have known since we were 5. I had an awesome time with them. It was great! Good thing is anger went off as quickly as it came and quickly forgotten.

It might be a robert day but today is a God's day which He has beautifully created. I still love to dedicate the day in the morning unto the Lord. It is awesome.

2011-04-01T11:57:00.002+08:00

Officially a year older now and speaking of that...

THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR CELEBRATING MY BIRTHDAY TOGETHER WITH ME.

Typing in CAPS so that you know how happy I am. :P Given some thought that this year will be something different. It will be a year of breakthroughs and a year of love. To love Jesus more and more, again and again. To love and appreciate the people around me even more.

Thank God for great and awesome friends.

Thank God for a loving church.

Although breaking a foot really left me much "detached" from almost everything and much affected my life here and there. But it doesn't matter because I believe a new and exciting chapter has just began.

Thank God for His resurrection power.

Thank God for His grace and mercy which has got me up from a cycle of failures to a life of victory!

Keep on believing! Keep on claiming God's victory for you and I!

2011-03-13T21:02:00.003+08:00

This is probably one of the best gadget I bought for myself. It is a spinner 360, basically it capture more! In fact, it capture a "round" , 360 degrees.

The only think I don't really like about the camera is I can only take 9 shots per roll of film. hahaha... It has been a while since I last used a film camera. The first time I took up a film camera out to school for a shoot when I was about 10 years old. I begged my parents for that... heheh!

Excited to get the film developed. Wonder how the photos will turn out to be. :D

2011-02-27T22:17:00.002+08:00

I went to resort world today by random chance. A bus from my place that I happened to board drove into the island. It was good... very very awesome trip down thou! hahaha... makes me want to recover faster and go in to USS for the rides.

2011-02-27T01:35:00.003+08:00

Last service at the Singapore Expo! Although most of the time I was at JW for the services but I must say that I'm glad that we are moving on to something better. Expo is where I first joined TV ministry for training hahaha... where the first Asia conference was held, big days and many good memories with my former cell and leader. :)

It has been an awesome 6 six years with God and I believe Suntec is where my breakthroughs will come.

2011-02-14T00:20:00.002+08:00

After sharing my mum half of my post recovery (activity) plan, she was kind of flabbergasted like this :O ... hahaha!

The plan is simple:

1. Go trekking and rafting in June

2. Join a martial art I've not done or kickboxing

4. Obtain 3 stars in kayaking

5. Swim once every week

Can't wait to get well. :D

Excited excited! woot wooot...

2011-02-11T01:01:00.002+08:00

Joseph Chilton Pearce said these words... To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.

I agree to what Joseph Chilton Pearce said. :P Trying wouldn't harm, but do it wisely. No matter how tempted I am to put on my left shoes I wouldn't because it is not worth the try. hahaha, okay nothing related to the quote thou! We must lose our fear of being wrong or "wrong". Sometimes something that is deemed to be a ridiculous thought might not be that ridiculous after all. Like how man dreamt about flying, it seems impossible and tada... now flying is common that we take it for granted. Many great inventions are the product of one's perseverance; his beliefs and visions which then is eventually put into action and slowly bringing his vision into a reality.

Yup, something along that line... haha. I want to persevere in being as creative as possible and not be afraid of bring wrong. :)

2011-02-08T01:22:00.002+08:00

Breakthru starts from now. God is good!

Mark 11:24 - Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

I believe that a major breakthru is coming~ :D

2011-02-07T01:42:00.003+08:00

I'm awesome. :P

2011-01-28T00:31:00.002+08:00

Just a thought...

My right shoes is likely to look older than my left shoes after 42 days. Well, perhaps that is why my MC is meant for me to stay at home. This is just one of the many ways I convince myself to stay at home as much as possible. Anyways, on the side note... toilets are the most dangerous place. Slippery and limited space spells danger! Reason being if I were to fall in the toilet, there wouldn't be enough space for me to fall to other parts of my body than on my foot. Smaller space will also means I got to react faster! T____T Well, I just send my foot crashing on the wet toilet floor at home.. mind you I SEND THE THROTTLE CRASHING ON THE FLOOR! Suddenly the cast is fitting again. Which is not a good thing I suppose, lol. But it feels good psychologically standing on both feet.

The cast stinks already. Good thing getting it change tomorrow! So happy, no more stinky, warm, irritated, itchy foot~ Wooooot! :)

2011-01-24T17:26:00.000+08:00

sometime i dislike myself for being so clumsy.

2011-01-22T20:09:00.002+08:00

O man... crutching around = working out around

Good for muscles LOL

(Seriously, I gained some muscles back)

Time to stop the "revenge eating"

Kinda sure that by stopping will help me to became healthier...

Got a handful of plans line up after I recover.

First up is rafting, kayaking and certify myself in first aid.

Nothing to do with my accident proneness thou! :)

Heh, excited!

2011-01-19T21:49:00.003+08:00

The thought of fungus growing underneath the cast makes my foot feel so... itchy. -.-. Just hope that that does not happen. ARGH! Castcooler or a removable cast will be awesome! Ahem... *hint... grinz* :D

Okay, It is mad itchy. :S

2011-01-18T19:19:00.001+08:00

42 days of MC...

Now I really have no worries about my attendance in school. LOL

Don't know exactly how I should feel now, seriously.

2011-01-14T20:33:00.002+08:00

Yes, I hurt my foot for the most ridiculous reason. Even I went speechless and it took me about 1 day to fully register the fact. But I am grateful for my family and friends... I am very blessed. hehe :)

2011-01-10T23:52:00.001+08:00

What's life without a few broken bones?

Healthy life... haha

Okay, time for bed.

2011-01-03T21:54:00.006+08:00

I used to draw alot when I was like younger... and I like to draw things that are almost non existence. It has been so long since I last kept a doodling book (Say... 9 years ago was the last book?). So yup, this year I will spent 5-10mins each day to doodle and post online. Both twitter and facebook. :D

(FB link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?fbid=10150152431215410&id=721870409&aid=348310 )

It is going to be awesome. So by the end of the year the one with the most "likes" on FB I will MAYBE make it into a T-shirt/ Polo Tee. Well... it depends on how it goes and my discipline. Ahem Ahemm... hahaa

2011-01-03T00:58:00.002+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Yeahhh... it is 2011 already and I am hitting the number 2. I really wonder if it is a good thing anot. Excited, but eh still number 1 sounds younger hahaha! So yup, that would means school is going to start soon and I'm finally coming to an end of my year two! (Just hope that all is well) and it will be the final lap of SP life!

Last year has been a challenging year but it ended victoriously and 2011 started with a blast and fun with some awesome and lovely friends. Nevertheless, 2010 was an awesome year with many major breakthroughs in my life. God never fail to show himself real to me. :)

I'm blessed in many many ways... Especially with a loving family and friends who support, care and laugh with me. What more could I ask for? hahahaha... :D

2011 will be an even more awesome year ahead.

The Barber Who Believed That God Doesnt Exist:

2010-12-28T23:42:00.001+08:00

A man went to a barber shop to have his hair and his beard cut as always. He started to have a good conversation with the barber who attended him. They talked about so many things and various subjects.
Suddenly, they touched the subject of God. The barber said:

"Look man, I don't believe that God exists as you say so."

"Why do you say that?" - Asked the client.

"Well, it's so easy, you just have to go out in the street to
realize that God does not exist. Oh, tell me, if God existed,
would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned
children? If God existed, there would be no suffering nor pain.
I can't think of a God who permits all of these things."

The client stopped for a moment thinking but he didn't want to
respond so as to prevent an argument. The barber finished his job and the client went out of the shop.
Just after he left the barber shop he saw a man in the street with a long hair and beard (it seems that it had been a long time since he had his cut and he looked so untidy). Then the client again entered the barber shop and
he said to the barber: know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How come they don't exist?"-asked the barber.

"Well I am here and I am a barber."

"No!" - the client exclaimed.

"They don't exist because if they did
there would be no people with long hair and beard like that man who
walks in the street."

"Ah, barbers do exist, what happens is that people do not come to me."

"Exactly!"- affirmed the client. "That's the point. God does exist,
what happens is people don't go to Him and do not look for Him that's
why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

2010-12-28T23:36:00.001+08:00

THIS is only 2 years ago...

I can get back to this shape within the next 2 years! (ROAR!!!)

2010-12-28T01:41:00.002+08:00

Looking at quotes for my current assignment. This is still the best one I came across. hahaha...

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. ~ Bible

Yup, love never fail. Love is the greatest... Love is, "Lovecycle"... It spreads around, touching each person at a time. Yeaah... Lovecycle. Thank God for great and awesome ideas.

2010-12-22T19:03:00.002+08:00

Final lap next year!

FINAL LAP NEXT YEAR!

I'm glad, so glad. hahaha :)

2 years has passed since my poly years started.

It is fun, exciting and sort of packed with assignments hahaha...

I wonder if that is a good thing anot.

Of course some assignments are really fun thou. :D

Good thing, it is coming to its final lap.

Feels abit like my O'levels days where I was trying my best to be in class awake!

It helps alot academically when I was awake.

Don't get me wrong, I believe studying is good.

We learn as we grow lol...

2010-12-18T23:52:00.001+08:00

W549 (Fight For Life)

Yup! That's the number. :)

2010-12-13T23:22:00.003+08:00

Brought Grandma up to Genting Highlands with family. This was the first time traveling with my Grandma hahaha... Thou she couldn't travel far the trip was awesome!

So I went back alone and bus broke down in less than 2H. Changed a bus and the next thing I know is the bus' engine is faulty. (Driver trying to solve the problem along NS highway)

That makes it 1 and a half break down within 7.5H. (WOAH! Record breaking). BUT... After 7.5H on the buses. It is good to be back home, safe, sound, in one piece and blogging! :D

Yayaa... talking about transport breaking down. It is not the first time that ever happened in my young life. First time overseas thou, it officially freaked me out towards the end of the journey because it was so dark and quiet along the highway. Transports like to breakdown when I am traveling alone uh -.-.

Shall try taking a plane and see if it breaks down a not.

Haha, I'm believing for a long life ahead.

2010-12-11T00:51:00.002+08:00

ahhhh! I found this on youtube (again!)
Those were the crazzzzzy days from fellow CCH friends. :)

2010-12-10T23:45:00.000+08:00

and time to reveal more essays...

squeeze the brain more.

Lecturer squeezes, talks, thinks and give us assignments

to get us to reason, talk and think with metaphor.

so I wrote about the "box" in details in the report and beauty.

next one will be CTB. hahahaha!

Should just work on it now.

Wait, what box?

2010-12-07T23:38:00.003+08:00

Have you ever been told by somebody to think out of the box or heard of this phase before? It kind of grew up with me and I'm going to peel it out abit like now haha. People always say think out of the box but have we ever wonder that the box is there for a reason. Be it good or bad, the box is there for some apparent reasons with its very own intention. So the box kind of act as a "limitation". The limitation can come in many form like time and cost effectiveness... or in a darker tone, a person who simply wants to limit us due to fear of overtaken? Well that I have yet to experience or even see before. But I somehow did heard of such stories before. I'm one blessed being who might be a little out of luck at times.

So ya... the box. Thinking out of the box. HANG ON. Before we jump right into thinking "okay, let's think out of the box", are we even in the box of restrictions topped up with rules and bound with regulations? Or are we simple hiding ourselves in a box bound with self limitation due to the lack of confidence and poor self image? As a student in a creative industrial, I must say this is something that every single human being, be it a creative or not must break away from. Yes, the agony of self limitation is the worst form of self metal and emotional mutilation that anyone can inflict to themselves. Break that imaginary box and be rest assure of who we are and what's our strength. Well, thou it might take awhile of people to discover their strength/s.

The imaginary box can limit us so much so that we want to be someone else. Don't live life like a mirror; spending its whole life reflecting others' reflections. Be proud of who you are! In reference to my creative studies that would simply means... Be proud of yourself and your big head which can generate thousand of random, silly and all sort of ideas. I admit it, not all ideas comes in brilliant and shinny, we just got to polish it. Yes be yourself... hmmm, you know like it would be weird to see me wearing what my friend is wearing one fine day right? hahaha... say, a mini-skirt.. okay that's too much. We are all unique and special, nobody is just another plain old Joe or Jane standing along the sideways... Be yourself, be disliked for being yourself and be loved for being yourself. That's why friends are for isn't it? You love for for who I am, I love you for who you are... all without the means of sexual attraction. Most importantly, being ourselves is also a way of being true to ourselves.

Well, the box! hahaha... so what if there's really a box of limitation and we are in it altogether? Limitations are set by humans and circumstances but wait, don't forget that circumstances are usually caused by human too. Say now limitations are caused by people who come out with those regulations and rules... then there will be a time when we will start breaking the box. Somebody just got to start that ball rolling. Well, I don't mean that rules and regulations are not good, in fact they are great for doing house keeping and in the army. Bringing it back to what's closer to my heart and that will be in the creative line... This so call "rules and regulations" can means the norm, the dull and the usual. I call it "Tom, Dick and Harry". We just got to break those rules and obtain a spectacular piece of work, ideas and concept. For me, as much as I could... I push the boundaries. Bouncing of ideas is great way to break those norms when it comes to bouncing it with wild and crazy people in their minds of random, silly and fun.

This method has never fail... hahaha. Be curious, dare to experiment, explore and take action. Put on the confidence and have alot of fun wrestling with the brief. Most importantly, don't get stress out, take a rest if need to, do whatever that is to de-stress. I will tend to look and observe around my surroundings to de-stress and have be mistaken as being stoical but hey I have a rich sense of emotion... as rich as pantone colours! hahaha...

All these things boils down to how we look at ourselves, really.

Wow... I have type so much. Please ignore grammar and vocabulary mistakes.

It has been awhile since I type an essay. oopps!

Okay, I peel this by abit. Time for bed. :)

But good laugh and learn new stuff thou..

Time to go out and to the "stop and stare". :P

Count it a blessing!

Maya has no assignment for this term. (Ultra happy) :P

Coffee table book, MLP, short film dateline is push backwards.

O SO HAPPY... :D:D:D

2010-11-22T00:50:00.002+08:00

Are we going too fast that we don't notice what's

going on around us?

Sometimes, I think I'm...

It feels like a motion and it just goes round

and round and to infinity.

By the end of the day, the bones on me gets tired,

emotional and physical health suffers.

Any person who goes thru the cycle all the time

will become dull one day uh. BOOOO...

Kinda sure that explains the nose bleeding and headaches

I've been experiencing for the past few days.

Sometimes, we all just got to break out of these norms.

Even if it means to step out of our comfort zone.

Every great invention does not happened because

somebody was doing what he/she normally does.

It is because of some whacky ideas from some whacky places

that strike them and WHAM!!

Last evening I had it all slow down

Took a look at my surrounding and just observed.

It was surprisingly comfortable and awesome.

Mind calming and inspirational also since I've gotten

some really brilliant concepts out of this "slowing down" moment.

Watching and most importantly,experiencing the surrounding...

Brings me back to my secondary school days

when I will just sit around and observe.

When I will take time to explore and do nonsense things.

Perhaps that is also why I was able to express

thoughts much clearer.

In a way this works as a meditation haha...

2010-11-15T22:05:00.002+08:00

Writing seems easy on the surface.

Today, I typed out a script!

Only 4 characters but...

O MAN I feel schizo afterward -.-...

Took about an hour to complete it :D

Not easy uh...

Not easy to pull every bit of my thoughts into the characters.

Not easy to make the character real.

Not easy to even put all the thoughts in my head into words.

However writing is fun...

Fun because I can take on different role in my thinking process.

Fun because I can explore how others might feel in a particular situation.

Fun because the writing will take form into live action.

Going to start cracking on the next one really soon. :)

2010-11-15T10:08:00.001+08:00

HELLO week 5 :D

Like the violin part. :)

Makes me feel like picking up the violin again.

2010-11-13T11:05:00.002+08:00

A student life is awesome! :)

With people supporting what you do is even more awesome.

Design in recent years has become more and more popular

among the students...

Just a few years back it was a "second" choice in general.

Telling people that you are doing design (or any other creative line)

the first question likely to be posted to you is "can make money anot?"

hahaha... why not? :)

As creatives, we have got creative ways to "earn a living".

In fact, design is about fun.

Hey don't get me wrong... I don't mean going to the bar

for a drink and sing Kpop okay all day hahaha.

There's no need to earn a living, we play, experience and work out things

to benefit fellow beings.

To think that creativity will come by just sitting down

infront of the desk with a piece of paper and pencil

is kind of impossible... at least not for me. haha

Design is everything outside of design.

Go out there... open eyes and seek a problem and solve it.

Design is making life easier for people.

When you solve a problem, you get your cash reward. LOL

Works the same when somebody find a cure for a certain illness,

people will pay for the remedy.

Thank God for my parents who fund me for school and

friends who give their support, comments and compliments.

I'm truly one blessed being. heehee... :D

Next, coffee table book. Activating all 5 senses!

Changing the world around me bit by bit with design and media. :)

2010-11-11T00:44:00.001+08:00

Yeah I am happy because I've completed
the brochure assignment. lalalala...

Time to sleep, time to sleep. :D

Leave Me

2010-11-10T09:23:00.000+08:00

I like this one...

From the camera works, to sound, to color and to the story.

This is awesommeeee!

Touching story portrait in just about 3 mins.

One challenge about short film is this,

to bring out certain emotions you want your audience to feel.

That depend alot on the story and of course the music selected yeaa...

I like short films hahaha :P

2010-11-08T21:36:00.002+08:00

week 4, the datelines are flushing in again.

I'm half way there! :P

2010-11-08T20:04:00.002+08:00

Today I was on a search for suitable model

for my coffee table book assignment.

Strangely last night I had a dream

and in this dream one of my friend was in it.

So I decided to ring her up today

and requested her and her friends to model for me.

Well that is if they are interested.

And within 12H I've found my models... thank God. :P

Half of the load is off my mind.

Now I need to find... new born... pregnant women... elderly...

This is actually rather exciting.

With the most difficult models found,

what can I say man! :D:D:D

Did my research on how to shoot in studio condition.

All things are going to work out just fine.

The thought of

“再看看吧，可能局面会改变。。。”

Enough of this.

This got to go, slowly but surely.

2010-11-04T00:12:00.002+08:00

It takes a moment of realization before every change

It takes a period of change before every result

It is time to be real to myself

To how I feel and why I feel this way.

Time to be real to people around me

Tell them how I feel and why I feel this way.

I think it is okay to be not okay.

It is okay to voice out when I have an opinion.

It is okay to be myself.

This is gonna be a good.

Gonna keep it real, keep it true. :)

2010-11-01T23:46:00.002+08:00

I was doing up my portfolio over the weekends.
When I picked and selected the projects to be put into the folio,
a bountiful of those project are given by the ministry or in any related aspect.

Thank God for that!

I grew because of my ministry. :P

2010-10-26T00:12:00.001+08:00

Delirious - Every Little Thing

Yup, every little thing is gonna be alright.

2010-10-25T10:24:00.002+08:00

Who will you and I be if we would have choose something else?
Like those "IF" or "如果"
What will happen and who will we become?
And how are all these things going to happen?

Too much questions at a go... haha

For example...

IF I decided to take chinese and go on for a JC

I should be taking my A levels now.

IF... If... if (insert something)

then I should (insert possible result)

Well, I doubt there's any conclusion in that. hah!

So why not... focus on what we have now.

Be in good or not so good,

think, we can we make up of it?

How can we improve to make the future task easier?

Hmmm... that I believe is more of the positive note. :)

2010-10-24T07:19:00.002+08:00

A handful of (Cold) jokes made in school about the haze

One of which is...

Me: Hazel, what are you going to do after school today?

Hazel: I'm going to produce more haze

O talking about the haze,

guess the haze by now is somewhat clear (PSI 28 as of now)

Apparently on the rise on NEA website.

The rain yesterday was soooo good. LOL

2010-10-16T23:44:00.004+08:00

School's starting coming Monday!

I was actually taken by surprise hahaha

(Thinking that school is only going to start on

the 26 of october. I wonder how did the dates got mixed up).

So anyways... school is indeed starting

After a (not so) quick recovery from the revelation,

I login to all 3 classes time table and start planing

things out like what I did last semester

It worked very well. hahaha

This semester is alittle more tricky but nevertheless

I have gotten some good stuff out of it.

And not forgetting to plan and goal set for this semester

Academically of course (Well, not really since I am doing design)

Just gotto get every single piece of assignment done. (FULL STOP)

Time flies... I am already in my second year, semester two.

YEAH! I am going to graduation like in 1.5years time. wahahaha!

LOL, sounds good.

O yes! I love being a student because in school is where

all the stupidest mistakes are made

You know what, it is better to make all the mistake

in school than anywhere else.

Trust me, I have made silly mistakes

The place that is the easier to get over is the school

All that is needed is:

- Know where has gone wrong

- Move on and be better

School apparently is a place where we got to slog

our heads off for some ideas that is supposedly brilliant/ crappy

(Well, brilliant or not depends alot of the viewers uh)

It is where we cultivate creative thinking. >:D

And apply it to the working environment wisely

Then again too much of those "cultivation" will only

leave the students with headaches hahaha

O yes... talking about goal setting

Hopefully I won't get any bigger in size

because of all the irresistible food in the campus

Eating can because a hobby in school

due to all the long and short breaks hahaha

All in all, I will need to find a balance point

Meanwhile, shall enjoy my very last bit of holiday :)

2010-10-14T18:01:00.003+08:00

Why do you like to do the things you are doing?

Be it writing, reading, drawing, filming and even, eating

Well, in my case... I enjoy photography

I enjoy doing photography simply because

it captures

the best

the hilarious

the beautiful of moments

(Well, as long as the camera is in my hands)

The camera takes on the holder's character

So what is your hobby and why do you enjoy it? :)

2010-10-08T00:10:00.002+08:00

Frankly speaking I am not prepared for such

a change in my life for better or for worse

Like eh... putting your hands into some black box which

you have no idea what is inside except for the fact it is a box

SCARY UH!?

AND YET EXCITED AT THE SAME TIME RIGHT?!

Ya... something like this

I am feeling SOMETHING LIKE THIS NOW!

Life is so excited isn't it?

Time to grow up, stop making thing difficult

and faster make a decision

可能这些事情会让我变的更加勇敢。

Hopefully

2010-10-04T08:56:00.002+08:00

YES! Semester result is out

Thank God for His grace and mercy

I did better than expected :)

Did very well for the core modules! HAHAHA

It is just that...

I FAILED A MODULE THAT HAS NO GRADES! D:

Psychology (the module) FAILED!

So irritating. (RAHHH)

Good thing is that I wouldn't have to repeat the same module :D

(SUN SHINES)

Calculated next semester's load:

7 modules (Including modules with no grades x2)

so going to select those close eyes and pass modules

YEAYEAYEA to next semester! :D:D:D

2010-10-02T23:31:00.003+08:00

We learn as we grow..

Something that I have learnt deeper today is patience

-the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble,

or suffering without getting angry or upset

Yes just as some of the people might thought

that I have an oasis of patience PLUS either stone face or smiley,

today my patience has been brutally tested by people and time

Irritation and annoy was crawling onto me

as the time ticks while the production proceeded

At that point of time I have got two choice:

- I can rant, whine, complain and do what I needed to do

- I can keep quiet, be wise and do what I needed to do and maybe, beyond.

Well... In anyway, I have no definite answer to what I have chosen among the two

thought I am very sure I reacted in BOTH ways at different situations! HAH!

Today was truly a tremendous experience... 福

2010-09-28T23:36:00.001+08:00

hmmm... I have got problem with people
who shakes/ hit me violently without any warning

Almost scream at somebody who did that!!
(Silence)

School holiday is ending in a month minus 7 days

DON'T END URGH!

2010-09-23T23:42:00.003+08:00

Action is a bigger expression than words

It speaks louder than words

I remember some time back my friend hugged me

and told me "I think you really need a hug and

God is telling you that he loves you."

Your little action makes me who I am

Cheers to 5 years of awesome friendship! :D

2010-09-09T23:18:00.002+08:00

WYZ youth meeting today

I must say it was really good

Pastor talked about the 3 I(s)

I am, I must, I can

I am - knowing my identity

I must - acting on my purpose

I can - knowing my ability

Today is also a good experience

Seriously people have alot of faith

to think that I can (ability) to do things

Tried out something totally new and enjoyed it

Thanks :)

2010-09-08T22:58:00.002+08:00

I love taking photographs

It captures memories

It is my friend

It reminds me that life is good

2010-09-05T00:17:00.003+08:00

When I was a kid (a much much younger kid)

I remember going for art classes

With pencils and crayons

I swung in them my little hands like wands as though

I was the best magician in town

and indeed, I made pictures out of them

Beautiful and cheerful pictures

People looked at my creations and praised me

With candies and words

I enjoyed creating, simply because I love it. A gift from God.

When I was an uniformed student

Art became a form of weapon

A sword given to me

I used it to voice out my opinions

and the issue of life

As a young teen

I often swing the sword with mighty force

using every little bit to get my ideas, my point of view

to the society, to the world

I enjoyed creating because it gives me the power to voice out.

Now I am a student designer

Art is abandon

Clients are kings

I am a prisoner, trapped in the claws of the kings

My wands have lost its power, my sword has lost its might

Well, they have been conquered by the kings

But hey, I can still create even under such circumstances!

I will not be conquered, I am not a quitter!

And there I reminded myself

I enjoy creating, simply because I love it. It is a God given gift.

Thank God for the gift of creativity

2010-09-04T12:57:00.002+08:00

There are people/ clients I can never understand

I wonder why waste the time to go through long hours of meeting

and then nothing was really concluded

All you have is a group of people sitting round the table

while 1-2 people speaks

When question raise wasn't fully addressed

When execution starts, email was send

and all that was told is that I didn't do my best

---------------------------------------------------------

It is like...

Patient:

Doc, I am unwell

Doctor:

So what's the matter?

Patient:

Well, I don't know... Can you check?

Doctor did a check and concluded

Doctor:

You are having a sore throat

Patient:

What nonsense! I am having a cough!

Can't you just do your best as a doctor?!

---------------------------------------------------------

You know what you want just let me know

What's with the "go with your own flow"?

I am frustrated, irritated and disgusted

2010-09-01T00:21:00.002+08:00

Difference between secondary school and polytechnic:

Workout

Secondary - Weekly PE classes

Poly - Don't give a damn

Food

Secondary - Cheap and healthy food

Poly - Cheap and oily food (all fast food)

Travel

Secondary - Dad's transport/ Bus

Poly - Dad's transport/ MRT/ Cab

Workload

Secondary - Can neglect any of the subjects I don't like, flunk it

but still can promote with flying colors. (EG: chinese didn't pass,

it's okay. Got other 5 subjects to support L1R4)

Poly - Flunk one module, repeat until pass

Attendance

Secondary - Looks at time table, "useless" in class time (EG: Physics and chinese). Skip

Poly - Looks at time table, "useless" in class time.

Can't skip all the time because love letter will be given to my parents

Environment

Secondary - Warm like crazy

Poly - Not anything cooler when people wants to adjust

the room temperature to 30 degree

2010-08-30T16:23:00.002+08:00

People got to learn how to use their brains

and think

The difference between a successful person and you

is he/she took action

2010-08-27T00:45:00.002+08:00

你不在的每一分，每一秒，

我都在默默的想这你。

你有可能不知道你对我有都重要，

其实每当你不在时我的心就好像少了心跳。

简直和死人般一样。

虽然，我有时表面上对你不理不睬，

其实你是我的荣耀！

没有了你，人生少了一份惊喜。

没有了你，这地方少了美感。

现在，你离开了我。

你知道我的心已经破碎了吗？

我每日每晚都在寻找你，

我日日夜夜都在想这你。

但我深知，你还是爱我的。。。

灵感，你快点回来吧！我想死你了！

PS: You better come back before I die of lack of sleep

I have been looking for you like a mad woman!

A brillant, quick and clean idea for my packaging design please.

2010-08-24T12:07:00.002+08:00

After all these while I realized that I miss martial arts

I like to punch, kick, play, fight and train

It has because a part of me

I like looking smart in my uniform (hahaha)

I MISS MARIAL ARTS!

2010-08-09T00:57:00.002+08:00

Today I want to share a secret

Secret to being happy:

Be thankful to every single person around me

Thank God for them :)

2010-07-23T22:57:00.003+08:00

THIS WEEK:

a week of scoldings, nagging for apparent and non-apparent reasons

all the negative rantings and silly assignments from weird modules are taking their toll on me

It is not a very good week

Now where's my ice cream?

ps:

try not to rant me for the next few days,

my ears need tremendous amount of peace

before it start waxing up.
