    反省中

    终于反省了, 原来一向来做的东东都是白费的
    怪不得每次都是得不到回报
     
    每当做件很特别的事,朋友都说“你这样做还不是要追她?”
    我心想“没有啊,就是突然有灵感想做些有创意的东西”
    朋友就说“我都没这样做过给我女朋友”
    我想“哦~~”
     
    做得好,收到的人会开心, 有时还会称赞, 有时自己也会开心。。。一下
    过不久,又恢复普通的日子了
    有时做得好,朋友又会要求有机会还想要
    不然看到的人也很突然地要求做一份给他
    我只能说“哦~~”
    其实心想 “那我也可以要求你做一份给我吗?”
    我没要求过别人做东西给我,因为我觉得做这些东西是自愿的
    想做就做,不要勉强,至少我做的东西都是出至自愿的 =]
     
    到最后,还是XY,因为女生都不喜欢这种男生,刚读过一篇文章,里面是这样写的 =.=
    aih~~无言
    朋友也提醒过,只要做给一个,一定追到
    不过就是没目标,这样做给谁呢?
     
    能做到很特别的事,自己就很有成就感
    不过不久后,一定被人抄袭
    只能说。。。显掉 =.="
     
    有时也会想“改次应该做什么特别的东西给喜欢的人呢?”
    烦~~ 自己想的东西都给人用了,又要想过 haiz... 还是自己拿来的 =\
     
    最后要谢谢姐姐带我到 Jusco 逛逛=]
    弟弟又有灵感了 ^^

    from a designer's POV

    finally got my clip scraped off from foa,
    cos couldnt satisfy every committees' demand,
    n couldnt convince d head aih...
    so tat's it...
     
    d last time i saw d clip was last yr's foa n everyone was like "har~~ xiao ding again?"
    ok n i had d same feeling 2, just 1 more "err~~ any better quality?"
    not to say it was not gd, but at d time of production (few yrs back then) it should be considered quite gd ba =)
    so tat time i was determined to get a new clip onto d big screen
    somethin bigger n better
    i told 1 of d ex-co
    he said "don dream lah, u 1 person cant change anything"
    i told him i'll prove him wrong
    but now i know i'm wrong
    1 person wanna change, 10 ppl don wanna change
    conclusion? every yr u get back d same old camp
    n i wonder when will a leader emerge to take d camp to a new lvl
     
    initially i also wanted to get d publication portfolio
    but with 1 request
    i wont act during d opening ceremony
    n d reply was "no. becos everyone has been acting for d last few camps"
    std ans i expected
    n simple qn to determine wat type of ppl d leader is looking for
    definitely not lookin for a creative type =X
    but for a designer, i ask "y must a person follow d rules?"
    in design there is only 1 rule - NOT TO FOLLOW ANY!
    tat's also my fundamental of design
    n i make sure everythin i design is unique, or at least diff from others XD
     
    ok so tat's for d complain
    i'll get my clip out if d lead actress n script writer is willing to help XD
    but just for personal collection =p
    cos i simply like my 'artwork' hehe~~
    n i know not many ppl can achieve tat far XD
    less than 5 ppl i know tat knows how to use tat software
    cos d application varies from commercial adverts to hollywood blockbuster lol~~ 
    n i think normal ppl wont go tat far right? =p
    n at least i tried somethin BIG during my uni days lol~~
     
    ok tat makes me a weirdo 2 XD
    cos i like to achieve things tat other ppl cant achieve =p
    its d sense of accomplishment tat i think most ppl wont know
    just like last week i met this taxi driver
    a very simple n friendly guy
    but once he gv me his name card i was totally stunned!!!
    Guinness World Record Holder for 50 hrs non-stop drumming o.O
    do u know how hard is it to get tat guiness world record title?
    n so he told me his whole story n exp throughout d journey
    n said " when u r ready, try to break a record urself"
    n tat motivated me to move on with my dreams ^^
     
    ps, no offence ok =)
