Why you want to be a designer?

2010-05-30T22:05:00.000-07:00

When is the last time you are doing something with all of your effort and passion?

I'd been asking many friends who working in design industry lately.
Do you love your job?

.....

Unfortunately,

more than 80 percent people said NO.

19 percent people said SOMETIME

1 percent people said YES, I DO!

Thanks for the 1 percent,
you make me feel alive. and the light of hope.

for those who has forget why you want to be a part of ART and Design in your life.

Ask yourself,
Why you want to be a designer?
and I'd ask myself this morning, but of course I won't tell u. : P

对不起，我还是觉得好心痛.

Happiness, Joy and love !

2010-05-24T23:21:00.000-07:00

If you know me well,
you will definitely know I love patterns, colours and flowers.

Today, I was reading ART projects mag, and I bump into this article that introduce this boutique studio call POGO. Apparently they are worked with this smaller fashion brand- LOVE Canvas. I'm so in love with the patterns that they had created. It is full of happiness, joy and love!

The other day, I was reading look look see see's blog. and I saw this super lovely collar by MIUMIU.
I wanted to do this for so long, but too bad, someone has started. hahaha, as Josoph said, nothing is new under the sun. So I think the most important thing is STOP thinking, and START doing it!

me & sister went to Ikea.

2010-05-23T21:33:00.000-07:00

My sister is staying with me after her Langkawi trip last week. Over the weekend, I'd spent my Saturday with my beloved colleagues playing paintball, it is horrible. Hahaha, I admit it is quite fun, but I just don't understand why we want to make our life so hard and painful. Maybe, it is just not my game:'P

Sunday, I brought my sis to have breakfast and right after that we have a walk at Ikea, hunting for mama's present. Guess what, end up, we had spent more time on looking for our stuff. I love small and cozy room. Apparently, Ikea is always the one who provided the ideal plan for people like me. Know what, less than 900 Square feet, can actually have 1 living room, 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom, 1 master bedroom and 1 room for kid! amazing right? :D I love it. and I think I love it more than a big house. :)

I love flower, but this sofa... erm... I prefer a plain one.

hahaha~ 2 mushrooms~

Tattoo + locksin

2010-05-19T00:25:00.000-07:00

This tattoo was done by a facebook friend of mine from UK @ Peter.
Obviously this is not my arm, is belong to somebody else. But I really like it, just imagine when your illustration was painted on someone's body forever. Hahaha.. ! the feeling is awesome!

If you let the birds flying out from the cage, why don't you let them fly peacefully and happily.

Alice is coming to life!

2009-07-26T22:01:00.000-07:00

I used to be a fan of Alice. Remembered the first time I watch this when I was 8 years old with my cousins at my auntie's boutique. I think this is all girl's dream of traveling in a wonderland with the rabbit.

Now the cartoon that we watched will coming to life! Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton is coming soon in march 2010. I'm really can't wait to watch this!

very amazing character design.
I love it! <3
Check out the trailer~ ( > o <)

This is me

2009-07-25T07:38:00.000-07:00

Lately, I've been going through some personal struggle with my relationship. I guess most of you guys know it from fb. I'm appreciate people who are concern about me. But, I'm fine. Thank you so much but I think it is a bit too personal to talk about why we broke up.

After all, I just want to do something more for myself. Trying to push myself harder in my career or even my illustration. as I'm really sick of being so slow and wasting time to find the inspiration to make some surprise for myself.

Perhaps I need do something crazy.
I don't know...

I used to have someone who can do some crazy things with me.
But she is so far away from me now.

Yea, my leg is full with scars after miimii coming in my life.
Apparently, no one was hurt by her besides me. and I'm wonder is that because of my skin is thinner than normal people.

Well, thank god to having her,
although she is a bit too naughty sometimes,
but at least she can makes my boring life a little bit more interesting.

Today - Friday mood.

2009-07-23T22:40:00.000-07:00

I love this photo from photographer and Etsy seller Jane Heller. Jane is inspired by the nuances of everyday life, the small details that go unnoticed, light and shadow, humor and sadness and pretty much everything in between.

When I looking at her works. Suddenly it reminds me a song by Fish Leong.

Feel like going to a short trip alone.
Taking my camera, my toys in my big bag,
listen to my favorite music.
Driving to some where without any direction.
Observing people or every single details around me.

Should be quite fun I guess.

Girls.

2009-07-23T03:23:00.000-07:00

Yes. I love them!

I was addicted to VIVI magazine long time ago.
but lately I just can not stop myself to read the mag every night before I sleep.
The fashion, the girls are so amazing!

Fujii Lena,
I guess many of you know her.
My favorite model in VIVI magazine.

Jun Hasegawa,
she is not a girlish type of girl. Completely different with the 2 girls on top.
but she just look so great with her own way.
cool! Penny likes her too. :)

Angela baby, another favorite model from HK.
Thanks for her doctor to gave her such a beautiful figure.
She is really looking great now.

miimii

2009-07-14T03:58:00.000-07:00

I'm actually have took a stray kitten back last month.

Sorry for being so late to update in my blog, yeayea, I knew it has been dead for a while.

This is my baby,

her name is miimii.

She is a super active kitten and over excited most of the time.

I'm actually talk to her, sleep with her, or even bring her along when I'm going out.

yes... I'm a bit crazy... :P

Recently I were thinking to bought her a friend.

A Scottish Fold after seeing all the videos from youtube.com

Another day, I got a breeder contact from Birdie.

I email her, and got her replied just now.

Hopefully the price is affordable for me.

Here are some Scottish Fold's videos to share with you guys.

Watch it! Perhaps you will want to buy one too!

They are so cute! ( * , * )v

GOOD things deserve to share

2009-06-17T19:36:00.000-07:00

I love pretty girl :)

2009-05-16T07:48:00.000-07:00

Miky girl... ooppps, she is naked.

again... very feminine girl with laces, flowers and ribbon...

Wahh…I think I never update my blog constantly like now. HahaHa… I just lost control with my hand playing in the playground these couple days.

If you know me good enough, Barbie doll is my favorite doll ever. Collecting toys and drawing girl character are what I call it as my hobby. Just feel good during the process of creating something beautiful.

Since I had creating a certain amount of art work, I guess is time to pick up some and go for printing. Haha… and shock sendiri, frame it up and put in my new room.

Ohh ya, We are going to hunt some furniture for my new room nest week as well. Hopefully the plan is still on ya! yeay

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

2009-05-15T22:27:00.000-07:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to IF/

Since I'm being so free at home.
I decided to do this to celebrate IF/ 7 years old birthday.
Something different from IF/, but just trying to give some new input instead of just doing a commercial work. Have FUN!

a place that I miss so much

2009-05-15T00:57:00.000-07:00

Browsing through my photos album just now, and I found this.
A restaurant near by my ex- office in Shanghai - a very nice place

A place that I hanging out almost everyday.

Listen to the Jazz music,
having a cup of coffee,
reading through the Shanghai magazine.

a tiring week

2009-05-14T20:40:00.000-07:00

This is a tiring week ever.
I feel much better today - just that my head still moving like a robot. It is kind of frustrating to re-operate again after 9 months. Arhhh…. I have to finish all this medicine before I going back to see the doctor after two months.

Anyway, everything still goes well, and I had spend my days to complete 2 and half pieces new works. Enjoy, I'd try some new stuff. :)

If you realize, I actually did this illustration for pipit postcard design last year. But I’d redo it again with new elements and inspiration from Aubrey Beardsley.

一个人的晚上

2009-05-09T07:03:00.000-07:00

这部戏好像很旧了，但我还是想和大家重温一下:P
还记得我和hoven一边看，一边叫外卖，一边哭到妈妈都不认得

她，
真的好勇敢，好坚强哦
原本幸福的她遇到这样的事情还可以比小强还坚强

哎，人麻，活着就要活得有价值
只要每天每天都开心
把琐碎的事
令你不开心的事
通通都烧掉不就好了吗？

只要真心对乐欣好的人
我都感受到你们的心意
谢谢令我感到幸福和快乐的你们
我好爱你们哦<3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a4_4X-eyXJs/SgW0QE_emGI/AAAAAAAAAKY/hGOshAzxQn4/s1600-h/111.jpg">

Yea, drawing and shooting are what I'm doing lately.

I started falling in love with my Baby G9.

We went to Batu Cave after had " bat gut teh " at Kelana Jaya yesterday.
For some people it might be not a cool place, but I'm really feel excited with this wonderful art of Hindu.

信任

2008-12-21T09:51:00.000-08:00

今天
和一班认识10年的朋友们聚会
也是为了她
为了祝她生日快乐
虽然，与他们不是常见面，但我们彼此还是在彼此的心里留下一个小小的位置
我想
是因为我们彼此都相信我们的友谊还是想10年前一样
所以今天的我们才可以一起玩的那么开心。

我相信

信任，
可以让我们的心联系在一起

无论是家人，男朋友，朋友都需要这份信任吧~
感谢上帝让我拥有我现在所拥有的爱与信任
让我觉得我活得更加有价值
虽然因为某些原因我没有了我一直想拥有的梦想，但我有了你们，
我还是很快乐。

ps:祝福我的朋友，希望你可以开开心心，祝你生日快乐：）

THE STORY OF THE OCEAN

2008-12-18T23:31:00.000-08:00

啦...啦...
终于完成了，假期了那么久，LOCKSIN终于有新的作品和你们分享了！开心哦~ (>o<)

呵呵，你们知道吗？
这是一个关于海洋的故事，有点像是我们小时候看的美人鱼故事，但这次拯救美人鱼的人，并非是小王子哦，而是个见义勇为的海军！
故事里有3个人物，

第一个就是这个8爪鱼的巫婆，就是她把整个海洋都污染了！

然后这就是可怜的美人鱼了，因为巫婆的所作所为，不仅仅让她失去了家，还让她渐渐的变成了人类。

现在当然是英雄出现的时候了！海军公主来了！

哈哈~有人问我为什么不画男英雄，我觉得女英雄应该也没问题吧~ 就是她带着海里的鱼群们把那个8婆打倒的，从此以后，大家就过着幸福快乐的生活了！（不好意思，小时候的童话故事都是这样写的，我只好这样有个“happy ending" 咯~

A story about the Ocean

2008-12-06T23:39:00.000-08:00

After 2 months holiday in Msia. I'm start doing a new series of illustration base on a story about the ocean. After a year of drawing, I'd realized my previous works are a bit too messy,therefore I tried to cut of some details and play more with negative or positive composition.

Anyway, I'm still working on this series of works. Hope you will like it when i posting up the final pieces.

appreciate for those comments from my friends, coz I need you to improve myself :)
