One of my design motto



I am running out of ideas to put in inside the end of the year exhibition catalogue. Well, the space is 145mm deep x 105mm wide, it’s really like an ad space in the magazine. The main purpose of the catalogue is to showcase all the students works and also for quick reference book to find graduates. Last year, I took photograph of my works, which is different from other people. Mostly they used vectors works and scramble in together. Unfortunately, my photos were taken badly, the colours were awful.

Now, I can’t decide which way to go. I admit that I’m not prepared to take photograph of my new works, afraid that it might not come out well since the work is very minimalist publication. I bet that other students going to display their work in tiny details. I really wanted to look different. What do you feel when you open a book that has massive details of works from every different students? I will absolutely overwhelm and just keep skipping the page, not bother seeing the works. Oh, some people might just put one of their best works, which sometimes it turns out that it’s not really a great work.

I’ve got other idea that I like better but it’s more edgy and might not work at all. So yea still working on it… The photo on the background I took it by myself on the RiverFestival. It’s the details from the fireworks. Lovely isn’t it? I have been using the photos for my desktop wallpaper.

my fav song at the moment



I can’t stop listening to this song. The song sounds so emotional… However, what I love the most is the guy, he is so alike with my bf (ahahhaha >_<, sorry I can’t help it) But its true, so cute xp I wish he would do the same thing, unfortunately he is just the typical unromantic guy T_T. I have been watching this video over and over again when I miss him. Anyway, it’s a worth to watch… and the lyric is not bad at all. It has a deep meaning, reminded me what I had been through.

...

Oh how it's been so long
It seems a lifetime passed
These memories that linger,
Soon as I think they have gone
They only gotten stronger

And so I'm getting through a day
But every move was made
was always you and I together
It's hard to believe I’m lonely
...

You're one in a million,
Dunno how we got so wrong
I thought it was so simple then
Now I know, now I know, how it goes
To let it go
...

My magnificent love book




…yea, I have the book now and with her personalized signature special for me. How’s that sounds ??!! I’ve never had any book with the author signature before. My boyfriend gave it to me when he went down to Melbourne. He got a chance to meet April Magenta at a designer market festival. The gift was so perfect, something that I wouldn’t expect. Now this little nice book is sitting on my cupboard (read more about the book in April archive), keep them save^^ Yea, I should blog about it when I got it right away. So many excited things happened during that time. No time for blogging >_<

I had a part-time design job for about a month. Just giving me enough money for portfolio expenses. The job wasn’t great design job, but it does makes me learn to work reaaall FAST. The person whom I worked with is really nice and energetic. She has loud and open personality. We could exchange idea in a snap. It is so fantastic that we could just work really well, although we just met. She has 3 years old daughter, really sweet girl. Met her only twice but she always very enthusiastic to see me.

Now, it just a month plus away until the end of semester, the end of my honours T_T I was thinking to get a new job, still linger for more money. Nevertheless, it’s the last chance for me to get done my honours correctly. So, yea seems that I have more flexible schedule which is quite bad. It makes me not that discipline to stick to my own schedule

It’s CARS…



Hehehhehe… I’m very very proud of my new soft toys collection, we got this Cars from the vending machine at the cinema… 3 straight!!! Well, there were couples of time that we missed but still a very good record. It was very incredible that we got them… ahahha… very mind blowing at that moment… until the dude came and fixed the machine and scramble around all the toys. He thought that it was too easy. It was kinda true, all the toys were piling up, so we didn’t really need to grab it, just rolled them down to the hole ahahha. However, I was very pleased for what I have. (btw, it’s my bf who got it for me). I also got very big Curious George poster, the cinema were giving it all away the posters. Just another extra goodies, that made my day^^

We were watching Thank You for Smoking movie. It was great, write that down in your must watch movie list. You can learn a lot from the movie, not about the smoking part but how to be a great lobbyist. Know all the tricks to win arguments.

n.b. Guido is my fav (the blue colour) he is the master of pit stop. He was so funny in the movie xp
