hello there, this exists to help my failing memory remember things I would want to remember a few years down the road.

._.
I have no idea what the lecturer is talking about. He is wearing three crosses, a tiny one, a medium bling one and a huge one, and talking about over ornamentation during the Victorian era.
Very convincing.

I am looking at Crumbs so much I feel quite nauseous.
A typical day goes like this: will be online till 2/3/4am, sleep till 11am, hop around online till it's time to leave for school, watch an episode of Ouran high on the Mac while trying not to be embarrassed when people peep, reach school at 3 and use comp through the lesson (like NOW), watch another epi on the way home, play comp before and after dinner... and the cycle repeats ._.

at least I am going somewhere different tomorrow. Hello Zoo! 0 comments

After spending two nights with eyes glued on Crumbs' monitor and heating it up so much, I finished watching Project Runway Canada Season one.

This is the link (<-click!) where you can find the entire season and please skip the entry if you actually want to watch it, cause I don't want to spoil it for you. It is addictive and time consuming though. But since it is the boring cny and I have nothing to do...

So... the mean guy won.

):

The one who spent much less effort, the one who did not take it seriously, the one who is so yaya and mean. He won because he had "talent" and he is "visionary" and he has what the fashion world needs.

Like what we always say, design is subjective.
The final decision was based on three judges and only them. Their opinions dictate the future of three young and hopeful designers and a handsome sum of 10k to start their own fashion line and tones of other good prizes.

It was quite heartwarming and rather amusing too, when one of the judges teared while speaking about one of the finalist's (Lucian <:) collection,. And yeah, he teared too. The judge said, "There is so much negativity in this world and this is such an optimistic and beautiful collection. I was so moved by it, because I feel that it is a celebration of beauty and of hope, and I feel that these are just beautiful values to put into the world today and I feel that this is a wonderful gift that you have given to all of us and to anyone who is privileged enough to see the collection." (and no, he was not the winner. the votes was 1:2)
I wonder if I will be able to touch someone like that with what I make.

All aspects of design are somewhat similar.
Their fabric is like our paper, their cutting and sewing are like our mouse clicks and drawing, we all do sketches, we all struggle with executing our sketches and doing finishing up to perfection.

Project Runway is a lot less bitchy than antm... and it is nice to see how each designer grew through that short but really really intense few months. This sort of make me think of fyp. Hoho, I won't be doing it so soon, but just like how the finalists had three months to do up a collection of ten pieces of clothes... we are probably going to understand that intensity, isolation from the world and being coped up in our workspaces just doing and working till we see what we had in our head materialise. The only female finalist, MJ, was so real, she said that she can puke by looking at her clothes because she looked at them throughout the three months, and I can identify with that feeling to some extent...

Hmm hmm.

The judges want to see individuality and the designer's personality shining through each piece of their work, and seeing their style. I really love MJ's sense of humour and quirky style, really glad she got redeemed and came back to the competition.

The judges also demand for the designer to grow and not do the same thing over and over again, and this is when many of them got criticised rather badly.

So hard to find a good balance between that, to be damn good at what you do, yet always discovering, being adventurous and growing yourself.

It's a tough industry... but so spontaneous, bursting with creativity and energy...
It's like whenever I look at my finished product, I will be wondering why I took xxx amount of time, when it looked so easy and clear right in my hands. Well... because 70% of the time was spent banging into walls and dead ends, clearing up the mess and going on track again...

And I hope I won't remain as someone who "just don't measure up."

I realise that I have been writing less and less as the time goes by.
Click on the Jan 07 archive and you will see a lot more words than photos but nowadays I blog with photos and captions.

Hmm...

This phase for me...
is a lot about discovering.

Chinese new year is really a bore.

Had some queer dream about Japanese Occupation, which made me so tired I woke up past one...Been rotting online since then.

Yesternight's reunion with the caregroup was loads of fun.
Had it at a interesting 2nd floor bbq pit in a flat, and enjoying ourselves in the breeze, literally. Everything was flying away- satay sticks, plates, plastic bags, cups etc.

The soup Aloy and Carmen made was good... thought I accidentally dropped smthg, resulting in a chain reaction and spilling half the clam chowder T_T, YK the "certified food handler" demonstrated his salad making skills and Matthias' curry was... really really shiok.

So shiok we gobbled everything down and didn't take photos of the food...

played with sparklers and they did a lot of hand exercise, hahaha.



Puay sent me this from Boston...!


It's a book of postcards that sounds a little dark and creepy to most people, but really nice to me. (:

hmm, I am really bored. 0 comments
