It's been a long while since 've written on this page. & Because today I feel inspired & motivated 'm here. (:
Today Pann Lim (founder of Kinetic) came to my school to give a talk about working in the design industry in Singapore and it was really inspiring!
Life seems much better and I seem to be going in the right direction slowly but surely. I'm still in the process of finding myself as an artist and designer, but i know as long as I keep doing what I find interest in I will reach there one day like Pann Lim.
I've figured from the past 2 years of school that it's very difficult to develop creativity if you're always stuck in school/ too focused on school work all the time. It traps you and kills your creative juices because all you think about is meeting deadlines and getting good grades. Grades don't define who you are as an individual and it does not reflect your true capabilities at the end of the day.
I love how my typography teacher always ask us to go out and have fun and experience new things all the time. This is how we grow as a person, and this in turns add values to our works because our memory bank is so filled with things that we would never run out of things that inspire us.
With that said, I feel that 'm taking this school term a lot more lightly than I was in the past semesters. But that does not mean that 'm not putting in effort in my projects because they are things that I really love to do. It's just that besides all these workload I make sure I set aside time to go out and play and take clean breaks away from work. Which is helping me very much in terms of coping with stress. (:
I'm turning 21 next week. I can't take in the fact that all of us are growing up too quickly.
We're thinking of a short get-a-way trip (just me and the boyfriend yaay) to wherever and I hope the plan will materialise hehe!
