Time

Image
It is impossible to contain or define time, much less portray it using the face of a clock. It's a fact that no one is ever satisfied about the amount of time they have in relation to the load of work to be done. And with our generation advancing in the speed of light, it is quite impossible not to succumb to the lifestyle of rushing.


In fact, through simple routines in life, I know that I've become one of those people who's chasing after time.
  1. My walking pace may not be faster than usual uni students but I know that it's past the pace which I can still admire the scenes and sights on the way. 
  2. I am always staying up late to "finish up" undone work. Hence messing up my biological clock.
  3. Multi-tasking has become a routine. It's usually eating while sitting in front of the computer, well, to save time.
  4. I wish I had a specific goal or future plans as I am graduating this year. In a way, I am running out of time. 
  5. The education history tells it all. From high school, straight away to college, then university, and after this the working industry. Sometimes I wish I have some time to stop and think of the things I really want to do.
Anyway, before this turns into a personal post, I am just trying to prove a point which is, ironically, personal, yet true as it reflects the lifestyle of our generation. This would be the theme of one of my pieces: Chasing after time, in abstract form, like my other pieces.

*waves*

This blog is half-dead, I know. I'm even convinced the people I write for don't read it anymore due to the lack of updates. When I'm not busy with work, I'm just plain lazy, choosing to laze around instead of update. Spare me, I have to face the computer all the time so anytime away from it is a bliss =)

so, should i continue blogging. hmmmmmmmm. maybe not until i'm back in msia? Don't know.

STRESS + SNACK = FAT = ME! =(

If you study say, business, you rely on your degree to look for a job.
If you study design, you rely on your portfolio to land yourself a job.

People think that results are not important as long as you pass in uni because the degree is what you're after.

I finally figured out why I'm always so stressed about uni work. If you can't see the reason behind this, let me explain: It's because designers rely on their portfolio in job-seeking. Doing good now means that there is potential of producing a good portfolio because after all, all the projects we work on in uni is going to end up as a part of (if not all) of our portfolio.

Sure, there are times when I think: Oh nevermind if I screw up this project, after all it's just a learning process. But here's the thing, you're not given that many chances to mess up until you realize that it's all going to end up in front of your future employee or client. To put it in a more extreme way it's like one of those black record you get when you disobey the traffic rules, up till one point you would be forced to give up your license.

Hehe, but of course, now and then I still try to convince myself that it doesnt matter at all because true enough, we are all still learning and screwing up is just a part of the process. Maybe I'm really that kiasu! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
