I'm stuck. I've been thinking for hours but still, ideas were scarce. 50 ideas. I wish they drop down from heaven or something like that. Although there's alot of free time given but I find it either sufficient or not enough even. I started drafting my to do list and planned my time too. Just so that I needn't burn midnight oils and have a panicky tuesday. But looks like I can't escape. Unproductivity leads to slow down.

Besides that, watched my first movie of the year-27 Dresses. I like it! I'm blown away by how the title sequence was presented too. Way too cool!


Had fun with pixel art too, during Eugene's class.

I'm glad that I made the right decision to consult God about the specialisation and the brief to take. It seems like he's blessed me with so many things and everything is just going into place. I'm blessed with the company of the Kakis, having the best lecturers for all modules and the brief that I'm happy to be doing. On top of that, a 2 day week timetable. I'm way too blessed!!

Although school's only 2 day week but i spent the rest of the days doing research. It's reading all day long and the worst part about it, I think I'm slow when it comes to output. It's bits and pieces all over the place. I can't seem to consolidate them together. Tough challenge because this semster is filled with so many theoretical studies. Just sent my statement of intent to my lecturer, hopefully it'll be accepted. Alright, think that's enough about school.

I'm also happy to have heard matt's inspiring sharing. Like a wake up call from God and it got my engine started at last. Hope it continues on. One thing learnt, it's not by chance but it's part of God's plan.

Once upon a time, in california farmland, there lived 3 creatures. A giant bougainvilla, a monkey and the rock. They have been assigned on a mission to seek the juciest red apple in the land. But the journey through wasn't an easy one. They encountered butterflies which the monkey was afraid of. Met a flock of unfriendly pigeons which attacked them. However, despite all these, they didn't give up and continued on. Soon they arrived at a remote corner of the land where they saw an apple tree! But in order to know if the apples were juicy, the rock was asked to taste the apple. Embarrassed, the rock confessed that it doesn't know how to eat apples. So, both the giant bougainvilla and the monkey taught the rock how to eat apples. To their surprise, the apple tasted extremely juicy! It was then they realised they had found the juiciest apple! The end.

I remembered laughing at Mich at the start of the week for feeling scared on the first day of school. Now I could comprehend how she felt but that fear of mine soon fade away the moment I step into the room and was greeted by familar faces. What made my day even better was the timetable and assigned class. An ideal timetable, being in the same class with the kakis and great lecturers. Wow! I felt so blessed! Just wasn't expecting everything to go so smoothly for me so thou shall not complain!

But still, I wasn't prepared for school. Haven't really done any research for my project and that really stressed me out! Stood up the night searching for information but eventually I gave up because my thoughts were all over the place. I entered class with a heavy heart for the fear of being asked to present my research. But thank God, that didn't happened. In fact the lecturer went through a little about the project which helps to clear those doubts in my head. That's pretty lucky!
I think I better not depend too much on luck, time for me to gear up! There's much to read and analyze, hopefully can formulate a brief that excites me.

I hope I really can make it. (So scary!)

I think 2007 was a year of familiarisation where exposure of new things were at its peak and many learning experiences gained. I think I've grown alot through this year. I'm also thankful for the people and opportunites that help facilitate my growth.

Moving on to 2008, a brand new year has just begun and there's so much in store for this year. As much as there's joy and excitement, there's also fears and uncertainties. I just felt a little unprepared for what is to come. Lately was just thinking about the decision I made, wonder if I made it with an impulsive mindset. I didn't choose first love because of various factors and reasons. As for advertising, I chose it based on technicalities. Based on last semester, it clearly showed that I was better at advertising than to graphic. But does that even act as a fair basis for me to assess my strength and weakness? I think this question has left me hanging in the air for quite sometime. Then again, the difference between the two wasn't that great after all, which made me felt consoled. I guess since I've set my mind on advertising already, then I should embrace it with an open mind and give my best too!

Going back to school today...hopefully have a good timetable and class!
