Feeling thankful

Just realised so many angels around me…

To reciprocate, I sticked lots of feather to make myself more angelic. hahaha

WHAT AM I DOING HERE???

I shouted this in my mind out of the blue. I was awaken by my voice.

I broke down when I shouted this. I was very frustrated, I lost my patience, I wished I was a robot with no feelings but I have more feelings than I thought.

What’s a better way to spend my time than doing zillions of changes and thousands of things that don’t inspire me. I blame on my boxy PC. I blame on its ugliness.

Luckily I know days like this won’t be too long. I’d go berserk if I don’t have a choice.

Interest and job don’t mix. Just like oil and water. I love graphic design, but I dun like what it means for a lot of people. It matters, because that’s what others expect from me.

WHAT AM I DOING HERE???
I won’t allow myself to be here for too long, I won’t.

I need to have more patience. Just a little more.

Argh!

I lost my wedding band! Joo always says I would lose it one day. What he said has became true! He always says I could quit my bread and butter job soon too. I wonder how true it is

Losing my wedding band is indeed quite sad considering this month marks our 1 year anniversary. But I’ve lost it means I’ve lost it! Therefore I’m now focusing on how to earn a new ring

This morning I took a glimpse at Joo’s ring and wonder where’s mine. Because our rings are exactly the same, and I really do miss her!

Someone awesome

to buy, carry, wash, scrub, cut and juice all 10 types of vegetables and fruits.

I’m feeling thankful for the glasses filled up with love. 

Simple discipline like this repeat everyday to keep doctor away.

我又在上班時發呆了

承諾

我沖口而出告訴我媽我要帶他們去環游世界。我媽聽了沒說什麼，但我知道她心里暗爽，我也知道她相信我一定可以辦得到。

既然說了就要快一点實現。加倍努力的速度。別讓他們等太久。

New playground

Never in my wildest dream could I imagine myself holding an eye brush instead of clicking brush tool on PS. Angled blush brush instead of a watercolour brush. Concealer instead of clone stamp tool. For a paid job.

I was very fortunate when given the assignment to make people pretty on a wedding day. To make sure I don’t shiver and panic in case I poke into people eyes with eyeliner (I almost did!) I frantically asked people around me to lend me their face for practice before the big day. 

I had so much fun mixing CMYK on the 3D canvas. And most importantly IT’S other people face!! 

It was a fantastic experience which I had a steep learning curve of how to make people look naturally beautiful. I’ve never been so up close to a stranger face, a reconstructed face that I wanted to ask what’s the story but I didn’t. A middle-aged woman who couldn’t believe I make her so different from her usual self. I totally ignored her request of a simple and lightest colour of eye shadow. Hahaha!

Very grateful for their trust and the opportunity!

midweek madness

In the near future, IF I stop designing for people doesn’t mean I stop liking graphic design.

It’s because I love it. So It shouldn’t become JUST a tool for earning a living. To preserve how I feel about it I shouldn’t be designing for people for long until I become numb and senseless.

Having studied visual communications allow me to appreciate beautiful things, people, form, structure, colour, history and life. It’s time to put the knowledge into good use to design my very own life.

F asked me what am I passionate about now?

I replied ‘Life’

TOO many touching stories, interesting people, creative outlets, magical moments, places to visit, cafes to patronize, … Life would be too boring to design for people for a normal brief. Life would even be more boring if I don’t have a choice BUT to design for people for a lifetime in order to pay off a lifetime debt.

Colour is everything

I’m a graphic designer and I never own a mac. C couldn’t believe it. She said perhaps I’m not a computer person.

I never have a pressing need to own a mac partly because Joo always assembles a toah kong pc for me and made me believe that it’s more powerful than mac.

Last night L asked me how often do I use my mixer now. Embarrassingly I said very seldom.

BUT LUCKILY it doesn’t hurt to look at. It is an art. It blends into my kitchen well. Matches the tifanny blue wall. It’s an ideal kitchen must have. 

Sigh. I’m a sucker for colours.

If only Macbook Pro has a colourful range like ipod.

A lime green macbook? a mustard yellow macbook? Yummy.

Run Wendy Run

We made a crazy decision. To run marathon 10km end of the year.

I don’t want to be the last to finish. I’m not going to walk, I’m going to run.

I don’t know how I’m going to make it, but I’ll never forget our Kota Kinabalu experience.
