design love

i romanticise about designing (and writing). after all we're doing something that we love and we earn our nasi lemak and teh tarik with it. why else would we forgive working 2o hours everyday (even weekends!) and having deadlines that's as good as yesterday other than love?

when i did my internship one of the first question my art director asked me was. 'do you have a girlfriend wa?' when i said 'no' he replied by saying 'if i dont get one before work chances are i wont have time for one'. i think he speaks of his own personal experience.

looking at him i think the reasons he wakes up every morning is so he could design and drives his beemer which we later found out has 15 unpaid tickets.

as i continue to wonder, looking at this giant of a man approaching 30, i asked him as i imagine its much less hectic outside the advertising industry, 'why dont you find something else to do?'. his answer was 'i cant wa, even if i tried, i'll be looking for it'.

anything is beautiful when infused with love.

my math teacher who looks like pete sampras once said 'wa, the more you know. the more you know you dont know'. i think he loved math from the way he taught us. making rounds at tables one by one making sure we really understand.

love inspires commitment, empathy and passion.

read fictions and cry, look at the green hue of trees, smell the coffee, talk with strangers. forgive me if im not making much sense. im in love.

anything is beautiful when infused with love.
