Watched V for Vendetta. yessss I know I'm kinda slow. it was because of the 5th Nov fireworks near the parliament houses. I asked Daphne what it was about and she told me to just watch the movie. It was... I'd say 7/10. I thought he would remove the mask. :P
(I wonder how tan shu ying will rate this movie?)

I'm starting to dislike my wordpress blog. the 5din5 one. working another one on tumblr right now. I did not know that Fatizan is into HTML! ha ha so I can ask her about coding stuff. ;)

Next brief> 'The medium is the message'
the more I do design, the more I wonder why it places so much emphasis on personalities. the famous people. the people whose books you have to read and quotes you have to know. I think that's why it has since evolved into an industry where if you want to be good, you have to be famous (and not the other way round). it's a sweeping statement but not false. Marshall McLuhan is one such person. to be honest I've other read this one book of his and I can't remember the contents. My final brief is to choose an ancient or revered text and express its essence in a new medium. As part of my personal progress as a designer, I want to start pursuing end results in the form of objects. I think I had enough of 2D, although it is essential but I think I should start thinking and doing 3D. And I love the word 'Objects'. sounds important hurh.

okay, srsly, I have a lot of work to do.


ate king prawns today.
it's so cold outside.

SPANKING NEW

Great. I have spent the night tidying up this dormant blog and it's all ready to go again. I hope this will be the place where I can write freely. I agree that I can be quite indecisive and yes, I've decided not to banter so much on 5din5.net.

I mentioned that the past two weeks has been really trying. So many things happened and all at the same time. Bad news, work stress, illness and negative emotions. However the most important thing to me is in fact that I still can do my work well, and to my very best. This alone affects everything else. This is the real me.

I have gotten rid of the cbox. It seems really old tech now with Twitter. So...please tweet!
Now I gotta go tidy up my work blog. Coding has gotten into me, but I know, I am a designer, not a programmer. *sweet smile*

*NEW WEEK

It's a brand new week! (not new in the sense that I've overspent last week's expenditure and have already used this week's) I'm starting work in the school library now, an hour a weekday to sort books and tidy the library. 5 of us. I was really lucky to be chosen cause someone backed out the last minute. It's a blessing. I need to pay for my evening course/ should I say, I want to earn pounds to pay for this extra course I'm taking up. Enrolling starts wednesday. I dropped by to say hi to Nick in the letterpress studio. He was still in his blue long sleeved sweater. I told him he will look nice in bright colors but he gave an understandable excuse that wearing bright colors in a letterpress studio is not wise. You can't hide the inks that squirts all over your body with a bright orange sweatshirt. And I have chosen my elective. It's on the optical unconscious. whatever that means. it's a compulsory elective once a week for 2nd years. So that means, my timetable for monday, tues and wed have each 1 compulsory event, namely, mouldmaking/casting class, elective & training respectively. Plus, 1 hour at the library a day. I must handle them well I know.

Sometimes I feel really free. like now. and when I'm free, I'll either feel hungry or read or just don't know what to do. I'm reading Invisible Cities now. It's superb. It's all theory, all imagination. Imagination is much more powerful than reality (and that's for dreamers). I noticed I have a tinge of headache every day, and it gets especially obvious at night when I try to sleep. I wonder what the cause is.

Pao is head done. I struggled so much with the body this morning. I don't understand why I can't get that specific shape I drew out on paper (my original pao). I finally got somewhere but it isn't complete yet. Symmetrical things really makes me miserable. You have to make both sides exactly the same. :l

I worried a lot today, but I'm glad everything's fine, I hope. We should just continue like this... till the next time we meet. :)
