This space feels like a safe niche away from all the clutter, mess and busy-ness I'm facing right now. I wanna grab a pillow, rest my head and sleep until I wake up naturally. Tomorrow's the last day to finish everything. Sleep can wait. I'm going for excellence right now.

Biz card

Wokay, don't mind my previous post. That was madness from all the stress talking. So, here, an honest recap of my progress, one week to exhibition day. Shit, like really, next week today is exhibition. *faint*

Check out my business card design. I wanted to do something that represents both my graphic design and illustration skills. So on one side, it's sleek and smooth, totally professional. And then the other side will act as a canvas for me to display an example of my illustration.

Ta-da!

So blah.

Hahaha... I totally dislike it. When I envisioned it, the beauty in my mind was not this. Anyhow, I sent this out for offset printing just so I have some cards in hand on the first day. Am planning to redo and print another batch. So if you're coming for my exhibition, do come from second day onwards, 25-27 NOV. Hopefully by then you will get a nicer business card than this piece of toot.

One week. Too scared to list down all the things I haven't done. One thing about procrastination is it will make you realise how much you want to do the things that you simply don't have the time for. Threw out a lot of ideas simply because there isn't enough time.

No one to blame but myself.

To snooze now, then work. Ta!

If Only

Happy birthday to you.

I wish you could have been here with mom and witness my graduation.
From the little girl who rode behind you on a bike to school every day to this adult, who will be graduating from university.
I wish you could have been here. I want to take a picture with you and mom, side by side.
I've never liked flowers, but I want you to bring them for me.
I want you to be there snapping pictures at me and I want to chide you for being annoying.
I want you to be there, for it will be one of the proudest moments in your life.
I want you to be there, standing in the crowd with your grandchildren, every one of them bugging you to carry them higher so they can see better.
I want you with us on our yearly trip to Genting. I want to see you spoiling the kids rotten with too much cotton candy and sweet corn.
I want you to be there to see the fruits of your labour.
I want to earn my first salary and treat you and mom to a nice dinner.

If only you could be here. I still miss you.

Joys of a Lunatic

Photobucket

4.29am. Working on unappealing advertising. I have this thought in mind where once I am done with all the executions for advertising, the real fun can begin. Portfolio book. Self promo items. Exhibition's on 24 November. I figure if I really focus and give in ten day's worth of good solid work, things don't necessarily have to end in disaster. Minimal sleep. Productive days... and mostly nights.

I am so afraid. I think it's even affecting my appetite. Lunches and dinners are the time of the day which I look forward to. A couple of hours away from the computer, comforted by good food.

As much as I am buoyed by this uncertain feeling if I could even finish it all, I find this so exciting. I will work and be weighed down by all these crazy amount of work! I will also revel because these are actually things I derive joy from. Bringing beautiful concepts to life, drawing, creating, designing. I love it all. These final days will be hard, they will be tough. As they are gonna be the last days of my life as a student, I know I will make them worth my while. It's going to be superb.

I already have... four items nailed down from the five promo items that we have to come out with. From the picture above, you can see the stack of empty coasters that I bought. Empty. Fifty pieces. Hahahahaha... as if I didn't have enough work. Any idea on how I can use them? To draw? Mosaic pieces that can form a big picture? As business cards? As ninja shuriken?

I love my life as it is. This is gonna be the most exciting time for a while. Hee.

Go to the Point

Do you know how it feels when you're so pumped up about something you can see no wrong in it? We have worked really hard for this, our graduate showcase. Finally, we have something to show to the world, just the tip of the iceberg.

Visit facebook.com/go.to.the.point for our official Facebook page. Like us.

The concept of our exhibition is really simple. We want to get people to come see our work. We are the Point.

Anyways, back to seeing no wrong in what you do when you're so pumped up. I worry. When we launched the page we are already putting ourselves out there for criticism. Then moments when you're not sure if it's really that perfect after all come haunting. However, it's comforting to know I have good team mates to do this with. Everything will be good. We will go all out because really, what do we have to lose?
