[03/11/09] I’m doing a Processing module. to design a clock. 3 more days to submission and I’m still waddling. Honestly, are designers expected to be super beings(a.k.a. mathematics genius) ??

[18/10/09] Today: one of my worst days. isn’t it intriguing that there can be one fine day when everything that you do just doesn’t go as planned? I wonder if there’s some mystical force from above manipulating the other forces of nature such that these skewed situations I’m put into seem so natural.

[09/10/09] An exhausting first week at college. my mind houses a tornado now, I can sense. I don’t think this line is suitable to be in bold. weekends are for personal time, which also means working at the brief personally, alone, away from the chaos of weekdays. AND I can’t believe a certain group of many people have voted in favor of a strike. srsly… my first game on sunday at Norbury. *nerves*

[06/10/09] I’m sucked back into the world of Murakami, whether voluntarily or not (I guess so since I bought the book), it’s kinda nice. currently reading ‘Dance dance dance’, with a storyline somewhat related to that of ‘A wild sheep’s chase’. It’s gonna be a busy term, I can predict. watched ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ as recommended by a film friend. then going on to Harold and Maude. I sense the latter is gonna be better. District 9 is awesome. and so touching.

[24/09/09] Chanced upon Rivington Place while visiting YCN today. a silent film by Chen Chieh-jen was on, about a garment factory in Taiwan. it was absorbing and intriguing, plus the accidental fact that there was a pleasant tinkling sound from the air-con vent in the room, which made it, should I say, a 4D environment. saw NS Harsha’s Nations at floor level, which consisted of flags of the nations under the United Nations on sewing machines.

Also went to Tent at the Truman Brewery. I am not a fan of product design, which was basically what this fair was about. got away with only a photo of a nice white bench I like. stopped by Sort at Newburgh Quarter to check out some letterpress stuff. unfortunately the workshop is fully booked and I’m amongst the 6 people on the waiting list. I guess… no chance. :l

[21/09/09] Not impressed with LDF so far… maybe I’ve not been going to the right places. ha ha. Have been to: V&A, Polish design, Kemistry Gallery, South bank and Trafalgar Square. Could not find: North Terrace, 1-5 Exhibition Road, Shigeru Ban’s cardboard piece. srsly, The Guide is not helping. Approximity is disappointing. Signs on-site are not working. to the east and Baron’s Court will be my last few stops.

[18/09/09] Stormed through Yoshitomo Nara, Gary Baseman and Takashi Murakami’s books in the library today. This book, ‘in the deepest puddle’ by Nara, struck me most… and gave me thoughts to hold.

[12/09/09] Watched Mary and Max at the BFI. a claymation. it wasn’t superb. the storyline was thin, and 98% of the time there was this huge male voice narrating lines, which I found really disturbing. less narration makes a better story. a visual story. isn’t it? like Jacques Tati’s. from now onwards I’ll be subconsciously comparing every movie I watch to his films. ha ha. Visual stories have no barriers.
