Neways..speaking bout blogging again..I am thinking if I shud shift my blog to Blogspot..Yea yea!..Cheer on u Blogspotties!..There are some who have been trying to influence me to change "home" to the place of spots!..haha..
Since everyone of u 95 peeps are also using blogspot and so exclusive wan...only allow Blogspot ppl to post comments but others cant... ..plus my xanga site is currently at a messed up condition. Have been gettin alot of gd feeback from bloggers from Blogspot bout how so very user friendly Blogspot is though.. Hmm,...STILL considering!..What say u guys??
Lets have a vote here! let's see who agrees and who disagress..then I shall decide on the majority poll I got. hehe...
U MAY START VOTING NOW..(*just press the "add pink floss" button below and start giving ur opinion) | | |
| Oh boy!....seems like it's been 3 1/2 months since my last post!....ah Yes! Another post that has the similar first line as my previous post...haha...But it's indeed 3 1/2 months since I last posted!! It's like the longest ever I've abandoned my blog!..OH!OoOoo.. notice the coincidence on the day? It was also Tuesday on my 3rd and 4th post of this pg..hmm..must be sumthing bout my blog and me on Tuesdays...and Oh!HAHA..notice the date of my last post?? Weird last I posted was on the 11th, and today is the 22nd!..haha prolly I shud wait til Tues 33rd of next month to update again..  ..opps! there's no 33rd on the calendar...haha..only if there is..I'll surely wait to complete the numbers.
Ok prolly right now I'm just like typing this for myself to see..since..well I guess all my visitors who used to visit this blog has alredy left and has no interest whatsoever to get back to check if I've updated or not...cos prolly it's just been too many times they tried giving a chance to my blog, coming back hoping to see an update but always to their dissapointment, there isnt any!..
Oh well Rach..it's ok. Neway it's ok to be toking to urself, since u've been doing it most of the time. SO dont be sad.. It's just diff now cos instead of literally tokin to yourself, you are typing it out on your blog. You know? times has changed..nowadays u can also tok to yourself online..Gee!! How cool is that!!?? ..Yeah RIGHT!!! ...aH! WHATEVER!...I just feel like updating my blog now..so UPDATE LER! YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?? ..Hey u lil voice! Keep quiet in there! You really gotta learn to keep quiet at times..I dun always need ur assistance!!
Neways...speaking bout blogging..sumhow lately..to be precise, this past one week. The interest of blogging seems to be sparking out again.(ok if there's actually anyone readin this, pls dun mind my grammar of watever u call it..cos it's late and I'm just being me, typing watever words I feel like expressing w that comes to mind).. Yea so back to my lil spark for blogging again...Dont know why I've been always thinking bout blogging again..(maybe I've just been inspired by u 95% peeps! Reading ur blogs are just so diff compared to other frens..prolly it's just the advertisin peeps!haha) You guys are really true. Can feel it's not censoring, but just puoring out however u feel and think about at that very moment..It's so real.. Haha..could it be that the training we got from 95% that has changed us? To really just be ourselves and not censoring our thoughts all the time, like how we've been programmed to always censor our thoughts unconciously since young.
Dont know bout u guys but truely I feel the difference in each and everyone of u, thru the way u speak and express yourselves on your blog...So! that's why this time I decided to blog in a slightly diff approach..Simply to JUST BE MYSELF..allowing my thoughts to flow...Janet and Shanaz..u guys have really open up new perspectives in so many areas of my life!Kinda feel lighter..not unconciously fearing to be true. Instead, now I'm always concious, and in control of the "TCS aka Thought Censoring System"in me! ..All u 95% peeps, I'm sure U get what I'm saying here right!? ...
"Hey! why r u asking ques there?rmber?u r prolly just toking to yourself online!Prolly no one is actually gonna visit ur blog!"....."Ah!!BE GONE! You irritating negative lil voice!"....
Ok..I think I shud best get some rest now..If not I might just go bonkers arguing w that lil voice..anyways it's late! And gotta get to the office early tomoro...LOADS OF WORK!
NITES RACH!
p/s: ok if anyone reading my blog and wish to post a comment, pls leave it thru my post ya..Just click on "add pink fluffy floss"just below this post, and post your msges...sorry too long not using my chatbox, it got terminated. So just bare w me awhile, while I fix things here.=)
Lil voice - *whispering*.."As if anyone is gonna be responding! ..Oh opps..ok I better shut up before she hears me! ..Nites! | | |
| Oh Boy...seems like it's been another week or more since my last post. Aha..seems like some of u are havin fun trying to find the 7 horses!..ok for those who still cant find the 7th horse..let me give u a hint.."Even if you can't find it, there is proof that it exists"..hehe u can go check out the illusion pic again and try finding the last one.
Back to how things are. It's been jus classes classes and classes. Sounds exhausting..it is a lil but it's all interesting classes. Getting to noe my team mates better, working with the diff ppl with diff characters and attitudes. It's kinda challenging though. I've been really competitive in class. I've always been doing extra work compared to the rest. It's not jus a few extra. It's always at least 5-10 extra things I'll do. I wanna proof to myself that I can handle it and I can do it better than the rest. I don't know for sure if havin this spirit of being so competitive is right or wrong. I kept on telling myself not to go overboard. One thing for sure I know is that I need to be in control of myself. How I feel towards others during this time of competition. Note that though we r in a team, but we r competing with one another as well. Who's ideas work, who is outstanding in strategising, who is the best, who is the one who do all the job, who has the most potential. Every designer has his/her unique way or doing things and ideas.
Sometimes I feel that it's so difficult to share my ideas because I notice I've been doing it aloot and I dun wan to over shadow anyone. At times I'll just keep quiet and listen to the rest..but sometimes to my opinion their ideas and the way they strategies is not so effective. So how do I deal w that? I cant pull down anyone's ideas rite? I cant just tell everyone that their ideas wont work, use mine. No I cant do that. Everyone has the right to voice out their opinions. That's why they are here at this course. Isit because I've alredy been working for sometime and I know how certain things work compared to d students?
Through this 2 whole weeks. I really learnt to work w diff designers. Ppl who totally have diff ideas and ways of doing things. Design is such a subjective topic. No idea is right or no idea is wrong at all. It all depends if that 1 particular idea works for that 1 particular product. It's either u hit the "BullsEye" or not. Coming together..everyone has ideas. Everyone hopes that their ideas wil be used. How can I evaluate which is gd and which isnt? there isnt a right or wrong idea right? So the only way to know, is to try out the different ideas. In design it's not always about thinking logically. It doesnt always work that way. Sometimes, some ideas might sound so silly but it actually is the remedy! But when there's so many ideas, so many diff ppl to u hope not to offend, and so little time. How to try every diff idea and then only evaluate which works and which dont work at all? I'm definitely still in a confused state in the process of evaluating ideas.
BUT!..I am still learning. I know. I'm still exploring and experimenting. These 8 weeks. It's a time to not be afraid to make mistakes and pick myself up again. I just need to totally release myself and Just Do It! Dont care what happens. Though sometimes it's really unexpectable. The exercises that Janet and Shanaz do with us, it's really not something that anyone of us are able to guess. It's 'Surprise' on every class. Not gonna be afraid of what Shanaz is gonna comment. If he is gonna say the 'F' word to me..(like some have alredy tasted it) So be it la~! There was once I felt so stupid..I cant even answer a question specifically. Cos I didnt know how specific I should get and what is the specific answer. What should I say? If I say this, there's gonna be another question to it. If I say that it's gonna be yet another question. Never ending. Sigh..I guess it's part of learning. Maybe he is doing that to give us a lil preview of what it's like in the real top agencies out there. Prolly the real world out there is worst than what we r facing now. | | |
| Yes! It's been 1/2 a month now not touching my blog..and prolly u guys pretty much would have guessed my asnwer to that...Spot on! B-U-S-Y!...With just some stuff. You know I realised that driving to just a few places can actually take up one whole day already! Time is so precious nowadays. I havta really plan what I want to do...But doesnt seems that, this idea works well everyday as I have to always be ready and prepared to pick up mum or dad's last minute to do 'Missions'!...Yea that's because they thought that I have nothing much to do because I'm not working at this moment of time. Also not realising that I'm actually doing loads of research and cracking my head over assignments in my room. Even when I go out it is to meet w my freelance client or do a lil 'shopping' for the production site of my freelance work, or meeting with a friend to help me get some chinese text typed out.. Oh well..prolly it's just the parents thingy, that whenever their kid goes out it's just merely to have FUN! or hanging out with friends, when they arent working or staying home! Aih.....
Oh and my course is OFFICIALLY STARTING TODAY!! will be going for class later at 6.30-930pm.. and I'm STILL NOT DONE NOR HAVE ANY IDEAS with assignment!  Aiyo rach..rach!* Just literally crack open your head la..prolly that might help!
I must say that last week's been kinda interesting and refreshing for me. That's cause I get to go to Fitness First w free passes, contributed by F1 race dad went to and also Roe who was too busy to go. As the passes had a by 30th April time limit. Thanks gal!So yuppies! Thanks to Jack for being my gym partner too! We went for Body Pump first round (I mistaken it for Body Step). Happily made appointment for the class on Tues All excited bout it, till Jack told me that it's actually not the class I thought I was goin for.  It's a class that carries weights..well no choice! had to go for it cause there isnt any other classses I would rather op for at that time. Boy it was exhausting! Immediately on the following day, my body felt as if it's totally disconneted..aching everywhere. Being unsatisfied cos I didnt get to go for the class I wanted to, I checked the schedule and found out on Thurs evening there's a Body Step class. Being the Kia Su me who doensnt wan to see the pass go to waste, I made appointment for it despite the body ache.
Though I didnt complete the class, but it was fun!Yea I was practically at the verge of fainting when at last the instructor said we'll be doing sit ups for the last part! I was like "WHAT?? SIAO AH! JUMP HERE AND THERE SO MUCH DEE SUMORE DO SIT UPS?!!" lol...so I just stepped out of the class. Went for a drink and waited for Jack as he was still goin strong!!.. Lil did I know that the next class after Body Step was Body Jam. Curious to know what it is. I decided to join the class and since Jack doesn't mind and I tot, "It's alredy my last time here, so aiya! Just go for it la!" a lil more Kia Su..yea that's 2 classes in a row for the day!
What started of with some light dance movements then became a lil obscene. Shaking butts and hips la!..Aiyo it was hilarious! I was a lil self concious and shy to do it at first la..Some more it was a GUY instructor! Plus I was directly facing him! Gosh! can see every move and shake he makes. Ohhhhh..U guys should have seen Jack shaking!!   Rawks man!!LOL....sorry la Jack I just cant resist it! ..not sure,but guess he felt kinda awkward too, cause this time he left half way thru the class..I stayed on instead. It was really fun. I enjoyed every moment of it..Felt like it helps loosen up my body and beleive or not after the class I felt all shaken up and sorta reliefs the body ache a lil. Yea and my mum calls it my 'luxurious exhausting week'!..All in all, I felt it was a fruitful work out week and a satifying one!..at least I get to go for 3 classes..and the passes didnt go to waste!.
