Research Brings About More Bookmarks

Been working on a toy packaging for my Graphic Design assignment recently. It has then been a routine that a research is conducted before working on concepts. The process can be time consuming though, but the joy of it is to come upon various design blogs. Bombarded with so many designs, what i have know and normally do is not enough.

These are some that are good for leisure reading:

Disney On Ice

Went to Disney On Ice last Saturday at Indoor Stadium. How crazy am i to withdraw extra $$$ becoz i thought i can buy some very special merchandise over there. But it is disappointing and expensive lah…

We get to sit the very first row in our circle but was blocked by the railing (same problem with Esplanade theatre). Luckily, the seating is not full, we get to move up 4 rows to have a better view. I thought the whole show is kinda boring. I din get to shout like what i did in concert, neither the music threshold is loud. A few sparkles here and there ties the show up. Some of the stories aren’t interesting also. Bleah~

Nice chat at Suntec Starbucks. I think i need to think abit about my career after degree. The same uneasy feeling i have when i graduate from poly. Have i lost touch with what the commercialized industry?

And projects start piling up again. I missed a few lessons here and there. My school is strict with attendance though. I have used up my 2 lives for ‘Illustration for Designers’, 1 life for ‘Graphic Design II’ and 1 grade down for ‘Survey for New Media’ for missing just 1 class. Trying to keep up but i discover my stamina ain’t enough. I wonder did i really set unrealistic timelines or did i spend too much time admiring my work. Lalala~

夜了我不想睡

早上好!又沒睡了!但精神还很好~
越夜就要把音乐调得更大声。让它来为我的不眠不休而打气。
想喝杯牛奶,因为肚子又饿了~

Doll Up

My younger sister sticks her fake eye lashes for me… Fun~ But i cant wear my spec because the fake eye lashes keep poking the glass. I dun noe how to draw eye liner also. Tata~ She draws for me~

Lorenzo’s Oil

I came upon this movie, Lorenzo’s Oil, in my science elective class. It tells a story of a little boy, Lorenzo, suffering from adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), losing all his basic functions like: memory, sight, hearing, mobility and swallowing of saliva and etc. In his time, none of the ALD boys survived after the 24 months diagnosis and there are no treatments to this disease. The symptoms are very similar with 1 Litre of Tears if you say so but for ALD case, it only happens to boys who inherit the defective genes from the mother. This defect has cause the body not able to reproduce enough enzymes in the body. Hence, the very long fatty acids cannot be broken down and then build up in the brain.

Life is hard enough at times. Facing genetic problems that can never be controlled, i couldn’t picture how badly one is facing such a pressure. Devastated, helpless and anguish may even not be adequate to describe their feelings in the journey they are embarked on.

Augusto Odone, father of the Lorenzo, said this to his wife in the movie, “Michaela, the doctors are in the dark. They’re groping in the dark. “And this is how i feel every time i came upon these medical related movies. Damn right we are helpless with the medical knowledge we have and no where to turn to except the doctors. It reminds me of ancient priests and nowadays doctors analogy. I am not saying they are con man too. But science is still on this kind of experimenting, statics results protocol. They never say they are heading the right way, they are merely experimenting. Their diagnosis are purely base on what they know. How about the beyonds? How many lives are in dispense in order to know more about the disease? Or this is how nature outwit the advancement of science?

In terms of involving a life and a body, science just pulls me off the list.

老妈骗我

妈妈说:“修剪眼睫毛可以让它长得更长。”
可是妈妈没说剪了之后毛尾其实会比较硬(因为太很齐的关系),眼睛一眨一眨是会痛的!
我的眼睛平时已经快柔到~
可以变成瞎子了。
现在更糟!

我好痛啊!!!

Wishlist

Maybe i should start listing down my wishlist for the first half of 2008.

I think they are pretty achievable… Just whether if i’m willing to spend…

姑姑病了

最近我的姑姑病了。一位从小一把屎一把尿地把我们养大的姑姑,也跟其它人一样得经历那生老病死的过程。

我只是在病房的走廊随意说道:“看!姑姑以前健健康康的,现在却要住在医院。” 妹妹就连忙补上:“生老病死你还看不开吗?”

我好像还真的还看不开~

Being Babysitted

My dad has been taking a long break ever since Chinese New Year. I kinda enjoy this period. I don’t have to rush for the 7:30am dateline every morning, and most importantly i have free transport home everyday. This save me a lot of my time on traveling.

Like for today, my mum din cook lunch. My dad says “Your mum asks me to bring you out for lunch.” Even though i offer to go home and cook instant noodle, but the thought of him mentioning them is so sweet… Feel so much babysitted and taken care of…

Anyway, my holiday commerces~ Hurray~
