The haunted house was just.
Let’s put it this way – Elen and I underestimated the high school kids. Japanese high school kids. No one would’ve expected two fearless grown ups to be screaming their way out of the dark classroom, hand in hand. That was some good fun we had in a while!
Hello! This year’s TP diploma show is over; the bunch of us IMD alumni gathered for the >60 talk and reception prior to viewing the works from the current batch of graduating designers.
It has been a year since our show! There’ve been changes, yet everyone is still quite the same. To those friends who hadn’t attended the show/whom I haven’t met for ages: how have you been? :)

Thank you all for the wonderful 12 months; it’s truly the best year I’ve ever had. In 2009, I worked hard, played even harder than I would have imagined. Whether or not there will be another one as fulfilling as this, that I don’t know. The cuts ahead spell clearly of an E(PIC)SPAM :) Do enjoy, and while we’re still on the last day of 2009, let me wish you in advance a happy year ahead! 来年もよろしくね–！
The highly anticipated event was held this evening at Shangri-la Hotel! Crowbars was a blast; I had a great time viewing the exhibited works of other designers and through the projections during the award ceremony. This must be only the tip of the iceberg of how competitive the design industry actually is. The overall standard was sky-high too.
At the end of the ceremony when the rankings came up, TP didn’t do as well as last year with 1 Gold, 6 Silvers, 6 Bronze and 9 Finalists. It’s probably because a hell lot of people never submitted their works.. where were all the VSC-ers?? I think they would have stood a good chance against all the others in the Design category.
In retrospect, I honestly think my project as compared to many others was not diverse nor did it have an excellent concept, just simply too linear. It was like, hey, that’s about all I could ever produce. But I thank God that I was awarded two Crowbars; Gold for Interactive and Silver for Illustration, both for the same project REALise. For this project alone, I have had a lot of good opportunities and it makes me wonder how often actually will these come by in future? Hardly. I’ve been working on REALise for the longest time and I’m so glad to be seeing the outcome now.
This year the certificates are printed on big, thick and shiny paper! 8D And by the way, their ballroom was too cold for my liking tough. Gahh.
Highlight of the award ceremony: Lim Si Ping from Lasalle bagged a handful of awards for her project “I M PERFECT”, winning the Best of Interactive, Best of Design (two categories; truly a record breaker!) and also Best of Show. ZOMG!
With this, Crowbars marks the end of my student life; I no longer qualify next year.. The road ahead (aka working life, haha) is too vague, so I’m just hoping for a chance to study again when I find work too tiring, preferably in Japan XD somewhere overseas.
Like I said, it all depends on that Dream Chance ;D
「ドリーーーームチャンス！」を待っているね！
