For some reason...I just couldn't get to sleep. My body was tired, but my mind apparently wasn't ready to call it a day. So many thoughts and issues within, especially after the day's trip down to raffles design institute.
Well, I guess having had 3 coffees during the day didn't really help either. Maybe it was the caffeine kicking in. But all of a sudden...thoughts and ideas for my portfolio website suddenly came crashing in...wave after wave. It started with ideas for the logo, then colours and designs. It all kept coming.
I actually got excited about it. (Ok, maybe it was the caffeine again..)
I couldn't just lie down there & let those ideas slip by man. Quickly got up to jot down the ideas and all in the dark.
And it went on for awhile man...up and down I got from the bed, everytime I thought that was it, a new idea and improvement came...until 5am. Finally it stopped...and I dozed off for awhile.
Not for long though. My tired mind woke up at 9. Despite the lack of rest, the excitement and aderenalin was still there. Couldn't help it but to quicky get up and put the designs to work.
Well...roughly got the logos done. (will be needing you, my dear reader's help on it soon!)
Man I'm excited about it, though I'm really not confident if I could pull those ideas off. And hopefully if it gets the chance to take a trip to australia for assessment, it'll meet the mark.
Hmmm....that's it for now I guess. Too many thoughts for a day.

Just wondering out there...anyone familiar with the private institute Raffles Design Institute?
Well, I hadn't, until I happened to chance upon it. Somehow, its website really generated alot of interest in me regarding its graphic design course. Decided to take a trip down to its office at beach road with a friend on tuesday.
It was a pretty hip building, right next to the raffles hotel. To my surprise, there were quite a number of people there. To a bigger surprise, there seemed to be alot of foreign students over there. But it was a worthwhile trip, with a helpful session with one of the helpful person there.Sighh....but quite a few apprehensions and worries on my part about it though...
The idea of having a majority of foreigners as fellow mates and lecturers kinda intimidates me. Especially on the part of learning and understanding, and performance competition.
The rough fee of 50K in total, though not as expensive as UNSW, is still quite an amount.
But before considering all that, there's that application fee of $200 and the submission of a portfolio over to Australia for assessment.
Oh well....guess I'll just have to focus on the portfolio first, in the midst of consideration.
Heh...anyway, finally got the chance to try out the new kfc chicken chop meal. Hmmmm....well...it tasted...ALRIGHT. Nothing much in particular...though if you're one to look for serving size, I'd say the local western meal at food centres would give you a bigger bang for the buck.
Pretty small serving ain't it?Went over to TCC at citylink to chill out and talk through over the institute. Nice cool environment, without the sunday crowds.
Cool simplistic glasses...nice.
Our order of 'Ultimate Hazelnut Frape' and someother forgotten nutty flavoured frape =D
Topping of whipped cream, cornflakes and choco syrup...mmmmm...
A cool coffee maker that makes coffee one drip at a time...cool!If only I can have 1 of these at home next time.
Infact, the chatting about studies, work life and all went on till after dinner, over another nice cup of Ya-Kun coffee by the water fountain at parkway.
I guess I must have been pretty scared off of making such decisions at crossroads after the experience with my poly course. But yet at the end of the day, is there a perfect path and choice for me to walk on? What assurance am I looking out for?
What if His path requires trust in the midst of uncertainties?
A choice, still has to be made at the end of the day.
Uncertain is the path, but the goodness of His process at the end of the day, stands trust-worthy..I believe.
when does the train come,
and where does it lead?
