My dad asked, "Why never take picture?"I don't know, but I never take enough pictures.
Just like today, the child in me was too busy in the moment to let the photographer gang way.
Maybe because I was pretty spaced out when i woke up, and only got worst with time.
So my brain hasn't really been functioning today, heh.
Well, can't blame a nerd for that when she has 2 late late nights in a row.
when i first had very late night supper with a handfull of jazz musicians, and last night with a handfull of enjoyable guys.
What a loser, i had to come home at 7 this evening, without the stamina to last tonight.
After all, I have been doing quite a bit of running around.
like wake up and leave the house immediately sort of situations.
Having quit my work experience job, i've found myself working nicely for my aunty Sabrina who was born a few months before me.
Doing the interior design of her current office space at Stamford House.
And in the week coming, a photographer for the day.
This sure beats my 9-6 desk job.
So in getting into the Singapore circle of passionate artistes, i went to Loof last friday night.
And it was exactly what I imagined to be from the picture i saw of it in the airline magazine i flipped through on the flight here.
Sadly I had to walk quick to the Ritz Carlton thereafter, without much chance to soak the place in.
Highly recommended but please don't bring your jing gang there for nothing.
Having your own design loved by others is a natural high i don't often get.
So it was an encouraging night, concerning my very first design project! Ever.
wahhh, so shiok.
What's exciting is just how a few people i know, around my age, are setting up their own businesses and branching realistically into the baby of an art scene we have in Singapore. And they're really good.
I wonder if I'll join them one day.
meantime, let me get thankful and stop wallowing in my stupid emo attitude.
