random stuff

This is probably the toughest part of the day: Stuck in the office feeling exhausted and super duper sleepy, and can do absolutely nothing about it because i cannot go home, and also having nothing much to do because my battery laptop is totally down to 0%, which makes it worse. Feeling a slight dizzy right now, hoping i could just shut my eyes and collapse into bed now but obviously i can't, hence i type this blog.

Trying to type my latest self-discovery. Well not exactly latest or most recent because i've always known i have this tendency. I realise i often turn more quiet when i am on a moving vehicle, normally a car, motorbike, bus, or train. If i am a passanger, I like to stare out of the window, watch and observe basically anything with music on or off . If i drive, i like to hum along with music like Damien Rice or any songs i can hum or sing along with. There's something serene about it and you just kinda collect your self together and being in your own mind. It's like a moment you have with yourself, find an inspiration or just being calm and unworried. I enjoy walking, taking buses and trains and watch the activities around me. Not here though, i don't walk on the streets much or take bus or train.

Talking about inspirations, i just bought a book "Portfolio of Inspirations" which basically shows how creative people get their inspirations from. The thing about design sometimes scares me, because i always feel i am not creative and good enough and it makes me envy and amazed when people could get a really workable concept and success in its publication. It's like how did they do that??. Yes yes inspirations come from everything and anything. Lately i am kinda drawn into something unusual like urban rubbish, chinese newspaper, vintage stuff etc, i realise i like the picture of construction sites, old and ruined buildings preferably with not much grafittis, something far from the blings and glamor, bird cage, portraits of villagers, colour like japanese photos and polaroids, somethings raw and u never think of using. I''ve began collecting some, well, junks that attracts me like sweet package or probably i should rip a tea bag and paste it on a paper. See how much inspirations you will get after that. Explore and explore and hopefully i get something original and love to produce.
