Design
Design is such a powerful concept. Now just spend a few seconds and think about it. What does design mean to you?
Design is not just about aesthetics you know, It involves so much more than what you visually see. It revolves around experiences from different cultures, different usage, different mindsets. It can never be fixed, innovative and cutting edge design reinvents itself. To go even deeper, it touches on manufacturing, development, marketing, economies of scale, sales, philosophy, motives, lifestyle and almost what ever you can think of.
Graphic design, industrial design, web design, architectural design, packaging design, identity design, fashion design, diet design, lifestyle design and the list goes on.
People always say that to be creative, you need to think out of the box, but I never knew there was a box in the first place.
The land of Giants
Stepping into unknown lands alone and with a heavy burden on your shoulders, the world seems like a heartless place. You lack the lore of the land, you lack the know how, you lack the favour, you are nothing, you have nothing, you are of no value, no one turns to see. But with the burden on your shoulders you have to press on.
The land is filled with Giants and their steps causes earthquakes. The devastation they leave behind is too much for you to take. You build a little and with sparkles in your eyes, you yearn for some nice words, but a giant comes along and in its stride the little you build goes back as ashes into the ground. To cry or to carry on, with persistence you press on. On and on you press the results are still the same. With out the lore of the land, with out anything of value, you are worthless.
To press on? What then is the point?
Writing Competition
I’m so proud of my brother, his “Things that make us Singaporean” peom got a him the 1st merit for the Secondary Category and he won $100 for it. You can see his poem at http://www.nbdcs.org.sg/national.htm.
A mixed background.
The mix of the Chinese,
The dash of the Malay,
A pinch of the Indians,
And a little of the Eurasians,
Makes a wonderful thing,
SINGAPOREANS!
