As most of you know, i am currently a lecturer teaching interactive media.
Every Tuesday i need to go to an international school to teach flash CCA as an assignment from the school.
Here are 3 funny incident that i came across when i was teaching the kids from the school.
Incident 1:
I have 2 students, they were close friends and they always sit together in class. I gave them an assignment yesterday and they were allowed to google for pictures to be put into their flash exercise. So, this kid called Ishita went online and search for his friend name, Param. The google page then displayed a whole list of images.
Then this kid tun over to his friend, Param, and said: "Hey Param, you see, you are an old man. (Google image showed various image related to Param including and image of an old indian man.)"
This time, Param started to get angry. He too went online and look for his friend photo. After awhile he exclaimed:" Hey Ishita, you see, you are a female angel."
They carry on looking for images to outwin each other and meanwhile i was at the back, laughing. Cute!
Incident 2
I gave them exercise yesterday, was to create a story using flash. This time round was 2 girl, Jessy and Tisha. The story Tisha wrote started like this....
"I have a foolish friend named Jessy. One day she found a crack on the wall. She did not bother about it. A few day later, a flood came and water start flowing through the wall. Jessy house was flooded and she died. The End" Cute.
Incident 3
This is another story from another girl.
"I was walking in the garden one day. I saw an old lady with her dog trying to cross the road. A boy approach her and help her cross the road. I went to help the dog cross the road. The end." Cute.
This are 3 funny and very cute incident that i encounter in class. When was the last time you and I encounter such innocent being? After working in a human eat human world where most of us were scheming trying to backstab each other (Maybe from the drama), it is always nice to play with kids, relaxed and enjoy their innocence.
Alright, see you next time (basking in their innocent right now).

Universal Group Inc.
This blog is going to dedicate to my newest logo design for my freelance Universal Group Inc. This company basically deals with inks. They are an America coy that provides ink for big organisation in the States. They found me thru my coroflot porfolio. Enjoy the work!
Logo 1
This group of logo is after the unique shape of U and to incorporate paper folding style to it. The use of CMYK (ink basic color) is used too.
Logo 2
This group of logo is use to represent either a star as America or a blob of ink as an ink provider company.
Logo 3
This logo uses the CMYK color in terms of 4 blob at the bottom. Bold fonts were use because most of the time, the logo would be printed onto those ink boxes.
Logo 4
The most common and corporate form of logo. Combines the U, G and I of the Universal Group Inc together. Use of dark blue as it is their company uniform color.
That's all for the design. More next time.

Everything comes to an end.
My grandmother just pass away last Thursday. Thats why i had been missing this few day.
We had a traditional Hakka funeral coupled with ritual for 4 consecutive day and on the final day, she was send to the crematory.
This funeral gave me a chance to mingle with my cousins where its been years since i last saw them (The last time was probably my grandfather funeral). I guess this may be the last time i will ever see them again as humans are lazy to meet up. Everyone of us had our own job or study to be busy with.
My grandmother is a traditional women with 14 children, 9 sons and 5 daughter. My mother was the youngest of the daughters. My grandfather died 5 years ago and last thursday, it was her turn. She pass away at the age of 82 years old from acute infraction, something related to heart disease.
The first 3 days were pretty boring, just various rituals and entertaining friends and relatives that came to attend the funeral. I miss my dear birthday due to this. Sorry, dear. Thanks for supporting me and coming to attend the funeral, i appreciate it. Lucky i bought you your present in advance. I will let you redeem this birthday celebration that i own you.
The most memorable part was on the final day. It was the time for my grandmother to be sent to Mandai Cremetory. We traveled from the funeral location to the crematory at about 2pm. Everyone was with a heavy heart.
The priest had a last ritual where all of us would surround my grandmother reciting some scripture and my grandmother was send to the furnace. We were brought to a view place where we could see the coffin inside the furnace.
Nearly everyone in the room started to cry, even the friends of the relatives. Imagine yourself a scene of 90+ people crying for my grandmother at the same time. (14 children each have about 3-4 kids and some of these kids even gave birth to much more kids.)
The peak was when the fire started to lit and crackle on the coffin. My mother and her siblings were screaming something like 妈啊，妈啊. It lasted for about 5 minutes but i felt it was the saddest moments in my life till now.
Unknowingly, i felt tears rolling down my cheek, (about 3 drops). In actual fact, I believe I cried not because my grandmother get burned or i shall never see her again but because of the atmosphere in the room. I believe that my grandmother would never be awake again. Aww, the scene was super sad and i believe i will never encounter anything like this again.
I look to my left where my brother was standing, i discovered that he was not crying nor his eyes were teary. And he gave a super stone look. After everything ended, when we were leaving the room. My brother suddenly exclaimed something. He whisper to me that he felt his heart was made of stone or metal. He said when he saw my grandmother's coffin was being burn, he din felt anything. lol. Then i told him the rationale behind why my eyes got teary then he undertstand. I ask him when was the last time he cried and he told me was when he was in sec 2 when he was standing behind a door and someone kick the door from the other side. The door when right smacking into his face. He told me he cried wasn't because of the pain but because he really feels like crying. I was like lol.
After this whole funeral, I guess it will be super long again before i will cry. Its good to cry once in a blue moon. Lucky dear wasn't here. I believe she would cry till faint as she was always a tear pot.
I wish all luck to my cousins and relative, hope we will meet again.
P.S. Death is a cycle of life. Everything would come to an end....

The result are out!
Dear fellow designer out there the result of our pathetic designer pay are out.
Be it you are a graphic designer, product designer or a fashion designer.
The website is as follows:
http://www.coroflot.com/designsalaries/
All right, graphic designer friends behold. This graph shows that graphic got the least pay of them all. In actual fact, graphic designer is the least paid job of them all....
All right, this one shows that consultancy firm designer earns the most, follow by in-house designer. When will I ever have a chance to go into a consultancy firm? Have more luck, try again ba. Wow, being a lecturer does not earn the most (see academia) -- it offers the lowest compensation, across all disciplines (though typically better job security).
One thing to note my friend, Singapore issn't the lowest paid nation for designers. Its Chile... But we are not the top either... I think its time to migrate, Hong Kong, here i come...
*Note: All images taken from coroflot.com.
Whatever it be, life still go on... I will try and update some article soon. Currently busy with design.i.am website and stuff. Have done the namecard too, be uploading the design in awhile. Ciao...

快乐原来这么简单。
最近这几个礼拜，心情都非常的糟糕。
也许是时候换份工作了吧！每天忙忙碌碌，都不知道自己在干什么。
改学生作业，上课，做ppt, 一个人吃饭，去图书馆，原来当个讲师是这番枯燥乏味。每天最多只在课堂上讲解ppt, 下课后待在教室，独自一个人上网，读从图书馆借来得书，每天毫无目标的过。上班说话也不到30句吧，没人聊天嘴巴应该也会变得也来也臭吧 ：）
向往的就只有周末，找宝贝，好友出来。
btw, 我刚刚收到了我的大学毕业作业的成绩，大家应该还记得吧，我拿到了Credit，应该算是个还不错的成绩吧。
昨天和楚青吃晚餐，她还是一样，人还是漂亮，头发还是很乱不过看样子，倒是看起来快乐许多。应该是自从辞职了以后，忙得都是自己的生意，时间比较多，睡得更多的关系吧。当听着收音机，播的都是by2的音乐，她突然感叹，“嗨听到这些音乐，觉得自己老了"。到了24岁，也许是该细心的为未来好好打算的时候。随着年龄慢慢的增加，人生所要负担的责任也与日俱增，想的东西也增加了许多。
看了个旅游节目，有一对夫妇，住在尼泊尔（Nepal），有两个孩子，两头水牛，一个宠物羊和一间小小的餐馆，每天远离城市的繁华及繁忙的步伐，看得都是花草树木，对的都是大自然。主持人问他们，会想到城市工作吗？他们说不想。人生过的快乐吗？非常快乐。
不像都市人，每天被想赚更多钱而烦恼。
原来。快乐是这么简单，这么容易得到的。。。
希望大家的那一天尽早到来吧。

Just complete another website for another customer.
I though why not just share with you all.
the web address is http://www.kai-sin.com
This website is purely html with flash on top. The feel is corporate style with theme color as blue. It seems that i have yet to attain the corporate image that aspect in this website but nonetheless, hope the client is happy with it. Next, instead of the corporate blue, i have chosen more grey to it.
Hope more and more jobs would come in. Earn more money for all the plans i have in mind.

Shinjuku Incident
Went to see Shinjuku Incident lately.
My dear and I planned to watch it 3 times already but finally succeed last monday.
The first time we went, the whole tiong bahru complex had a power failure and we had to postpone our movie trip. What most funny is when we are queuing up for refund of tickets, some of the cinema patron bought popcorns for the show and ask the attendant if they can refund it.
The second time was when we were in Malaysia.
Finally, we manage to watch it when we were back in Singapore.
Overall, i think its a rather good movie. Rating about 8.5/10.
The plot is interesting, rather new topic and many characters in the show portray their role very well, especially Daniel Wu. From a coward nut seller to a Joker lookalike, his acting was excellent.
I would recommend you guys to watch it.
Next, I have been taking up salsa lesson lately with my dear. She organise such a good lesson on my birthday and we decided to take up the lesson.
The first few lesson was fun, you get to learn some basic moves, dance around with your partners and of course, there will be much more to come.
