“Hope is REALised when impossibilities are made REAL.”
REALise is an integrated campaign, which consists of print work as well as an interactive awareness and fund-raising website that promotes to the target audience, youths and young working adults, through unique storytelling, the organisation Singapore Children’s Society.
These two weeks have mostly been dedicated to design work. At one point I worked almost simultaneously on the 20-page A5 newsletter for church, now expanded to 32 pages, and a last minute (notified by the events company) A3 portfolio for the Singapore Design Festival in late November. I am so not kidding in saying that I did 17 A3 layouts in one sitting, and a handful more the next day. It was so rushed I did not manage to proofread, by this time it should have been printed and I finally spot some typos. Gooodness. More details on my blog closer to the date, especially after I’ve sorted the online version of my portf.
Then, somehow today I managed a general design for the theme “No More Room”, a Christmas drama by the church youth group, and a postcard design based on that. On the other hand, I am mostly done with Children’s Society; website should be launched anytime – well probably only after they’ve fixed the php bug. With two public “REALise”-themed roadshows behind, I think it’s high time the official website be launched. That I really can’t wait!
Since I’m such a sucker for the idea of lazing around, I shall NOT accept anymore design jobs, requests or begging. For the rest of this year that is. Sorry, but we’re closed. Please direct your design needs to the one next door. (oh fish, I must be one heck of a hopeless designer to even say that). I thought I’d freed up enough time to relax for the last quarter of the year, but apparently it’s not true. So, I suppose, when everything has been completed by mid November, that would be the best time to wrap things up. To start mini personal projects, like THE Christmas List, Dreaming Of Holidays but not doing anything to fulfill it (because I can’t seem to find anyone to go with me currently), Revamping Websites and Striking Off Whichever Possible Items Left On My Supposed Longest To-Do List Ever. Oh, my to-do list. What a sad kind of motivation that doesn’t even keep me going.
At the very least, I’m making bits of progress with my Japanese, however small it is. Intermediate 3 class is going to end this Friday with a final written test and oral! Nearly two months with a total of 7 lessons have gone by since? Then the JLPT notification letter came to inform that the test location on 6 Dec will be at SMU. I’m taking level 4 along with Atikah, while Ade takes level 3. Time to begin mugging, but first for the Int-3 final test. I’ve only about a day left. Will. need. to. pass. *dies*
On retrospect, it beats me how Japanese classes, outings with friends and design projects just seem to NOT relate to one another chronologically, in the same time line. They all feel very detached. Which goes to show that the last few months have been a slight blur, because I can’t seem to recall exactly when I did what.

The weather has cooled significantly; it’s the time of the year. I’m sure in any moment Christmas would arrive. Some people have expressed that if you are not dating, or do not have a date, Christmas would be a lonely time to spend, hence the unrelenting longing for company tugging within you. Though not just anyone’s company. In the past I would have probably been bothered by my status, but for now it doesn’t get to me anymore. In fact, I think I can go without seeing you for a month. Three months. Half a year. Maybe more. Notably because it has always been this way, hasn’t it?
To disregard the past may be a regrettable decision, yet what’s never there, has never been there. Until I come to terms with reality, I’ll try to stop dreaming.
