I Do What I Like

What will you do?

2009-11-14T14:07:00.004+08:00

It's good to watch movies that make you think once in a while.

Not so long ago I watched MJ's "This Is It" and it made me ponder about what I want to do with my life. Yesterday I watched "2012" and it made me ponder about what will I do if I have no time left to live.

What will you do in the face of death?

A quote to share:

"The day you realize you're eventually going to die is the day you'll learn how to live."

This Is It: The passing of a King.

I admit that I was never much of a MJ fan. In fact at times I found him bit of a freak.(What's with that distorted nose?). Maybe its because I wasn't born in the era of his hey days, that i never got the chance to pay closer attention to his music and performance.

But after watching This Is It, I have to admit he's a born performer. Every bit of him oozes the trails of a superstar. His attention to details, taking great care of every bit of his stage performance. No man can go to such extend if he haven't got the passion for what he does. This man have a love for the things he does and I respect that. He earned his fans.

I hope one day I'll grow to be this kind of person, being respected for the things I do. Not for the fame, not for the money, but for the things I do.

Design and the Internet

2009-10-10T04:50:00.003+08:00

You know what I like about Design?
It's that it does not need a language.

You know what I like about the Internet?
It's that it can reach everybody.

And when you put Design and the Internet together, it's so powerful, it scares me.

Leonardo Da Vinci. The Genius exhibition

2009-08-17T12:54:00.002+08:00

Visited Leonardo Da Vinci. The Genius exhibition last Saturday. Check out the last-minute go-ers, i think we spent like an hour or two simply just queuing to buy tickets and then queue again to get into the Annexe(where the exhibition is held).

But i guess the wait was worth it. There was many of his life works on display, we spent another 2 to 3 hours going through the exhibits? And i'm sure he have many other amazing stuffs that did not surface at the exhibition or might have even brought it along with him to his grave.

The man is amazing, never fails to fascinate me on how much a man can complete in a lifetime. People say life is short, but he sure knows how to make use of it. If you haven't already know, Da Vinci was a inventor, artist, scientist, engineer, sculptor, anatomist, biologist, musician, architect, philosopher all packed into one.

And to think he still felt he have not done enough towards the end of his life, he makes us all guilty beings.

Check it out, the exhibition may have ended but you can still be awed by his awesomeness.

Almost there.

2009-07-11T02:13:00.003+08:00

Two more weeks! Just two more weeks to the final ending of AWARD school and I regain my status of working adult rather than working/student status.

Love the process of going through AWARD school actually, gain much from it, but running between work and school is just ain't not fun sometimes. Farking tiring!! And I believe the efforts put in would be much more and results will be much better if i ain't working. But well, no one's to blame but myself, i asked for it didn't i LOL. All was my own decisions so i have to answer for my actions.

So yeah, so much for the blabbering, just hope that from here on, i'll make a better creative. =)

Silkscreen Try Out #02

2009-06-29T01:10:00.003+08:00

Okay i'm one week late to post this, been massively busy.
We've had our silkscreen try out for the second time last Saturday. And it actually turn out to be quite successful! Managed to get the design onto the silkscreen template, but fine details on the design were lost.

I'd say its a 75% success, with a couple more tries, I'm sure we can get it right!

www.idowhatilike.com gets a new face lift after 2 years.
This time taking a more simple approach with more focus on the content as I realise previous portfolio had been a rather experimental one, losing out on user experience as navigation was via metaphors with not enough indication.

So here you go. A simple site with full focus on content. www.idowhatilike.com

"Works" section still in the updates, thus the only hand full of works shown now.

Rollei 35 Led

2009-03-03T00:18:00.007+08:00

Its a beauty. I always knew my mum have a cute nice looking vintage camera kept away in her wardrobe but never really went to check it out. Until yesterday i finally asked to borrow from her. This is it:

The Rollei 35 Led

Those interested can read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollei_35#Rollei_35_LED_2

Its really a pretty looking little thing.
Its a pity it runs on battery and the battery is out of production, thought I could have a play with it.

Here's to start off my mission of "Book of the Year". Cheers peeps!

1 years 7 months, not too long but definitely ain't short either. Been a roller coaster ride. For now I'm still uncertain if my decisions are right, but we've got to take risk sometimes. We'll see.:)

I really don't remember where i download this picture from. But it have been sitting on my desktop for a while now (and i'm someone who likes to keep my desktop clean).

Every time before i drag things from my desktop into the recycle bin i'll open the file and check what it is. But the quote is so powerful every time it makes me hold back from deleting it.

So I'm finally posting it hoping it can serve as a source of inspiration for others too. (and so that i can finally drag it into the recycle bin coz i've got a record here heh)
