my life’s been _____ lately 
CRY for help! haiz.
SCHOOL RANTS
We’re only 17 & you’re expecting so much from us? It’s only the 3rd week now & i feel so pissed off with the system… I used to have so much more to complain but i don’t know why it’s all melting away in my head now. ha!
okay, enough of all the complaining. after listening to what Mr Yang Tien had said, I went back & thought about it.His words registered deeply in my mind. We should stop seeing ourselves as student studying design & do our work as to what the lecturers want & expect (mainly for grades) but as an indiviual who has a deep passion for designing, in other words i’ve got to learn to be more prefessional. I’ve got to set a unique identity for myself, a trademark. I have to stand out as an indiviual creative designer, because in this line (motionographer) we’re always working alone, so we need to set an identity for ourselves, & it starts now! So, to all those who are reading this post, if ya a student & also very sick of school please stop complaining & get on! Cos it’ll get you no where. Accecpt the comments & IMPROVE IMPROVE IMPROVE. I realised that i can’t stand up for my work when arrows are being shot because i lack the vital point. My concept is not SHOUTING out. I’m happy with whatever i’ve done, but not contented. Everytime i have the temtation to rant about school, I’ll stop. I don’t know if i can take it (cos you know i really like to go on ranting) but i’m trying, i don’t want my negative thoughts to affect my perpective of motion graphics. I’ve got to push myself to the limits, never be too easily contented by what you produce, it defeats the purpose if the audience don’t feel what you feel about your piece. An advertistment needs to shout out & the viewers need to FEEL it. I was lacking in that part as i only thought about what i felt.But life’s like this ya? (at least for motion graphics) Even if you give your all, your everything, it never really turn out right. It’s through feedbacks that i learn what i’m lacking. I should stop thinking about my own opinions & start standing at my audience’s point of view. I’ve got to set higher standards for myself, so that i can bring out the full potential of my concept.
My life’s been rather mundane, nothing interesting. Seriously! I’m always complaining i have no life! haiz, but now i’m ready to take my designs a notch higher, i’m prepared to let it run my life, even at the most mundane situation, i’m able to find that something interesting. I’ve got to grow up! & i think i’m starting to =D
Never allow yourself to let yourself down
