恐惧与仇恨

其是, 人最大的敌人是自己的恐惧与仇恨

Passion

Sometimes, I wonder am I in the right place at the right time? There are times when I question myself, why do I choose this line. Passion? Choices? People always say to be great, one needs passion. But time over time, expectations, restrictions and limitations often dampen my passion. How much more passion do I have to last me, to push me forward? I wonder.

This is the 2nd time that I question my choice, facing the "mid-life" crisis. All those dreams that I had when I was younger, were shattered by the reality. Wahaha... But I do wish to have the burning passion that I once had, to push me forward.

Without passion you don't have energy, without energy you have nothing.-- Donald Trump

So what makes good print magazine?

Lifted from Ping Mag:
"Making magazines is a very specialized thing. Even for designers it takes a while to learn. But to make a good magazine, as a designer, you do influence and contribute to the content too. As an editor, you influence and contribute to the design as well. The key for me is that design and content are absolutely aligned and united. You can sense whether the makers of a magazine are enjoying it or not and you can see it when you leaf through the pages. That is personality!"

And I am still learning on what is a good design...

I agree with this quote and I have never regretted it(to him)...

The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they're alive.-- Orlando A. Battista

Heart and Mind

"Wait until your heart and head agree."

I read this sentence from a blog, on a topic about relationship. The blog discussed about having your heart and your mind to agree in terms of choosing a life partner, NOT choosing blindly nor using logic.

But since when THIS moment can happen? For we cannot control our hearts nor our heads can tell us how we should feel.

Keep on searching folks...

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage.-- Lao Tzu

Cupcake sweeties!

Don't know for what reason, for the past few days, I'm so into cupcakes! They look so pretty that I can't bear to eat them! Pretty decorations with nice colours combinations, giving you different style, moods, statements. Be it for weddings or birthdays, the cupcakes can be decorated for the right occassions. It can even look Gothic! Black cupcakes! How about that, ha!

I'm so amazed by those nice pretty little cakes that I am tempted to go for workshops to learn how to decorate. Aha! Wait till I whip out my dusty old baking wares... Haha... Think Guan will have to be my first guinea pig!

Hmmm, can't wait to get my hands to start to bake these pretty little things. And be sure, I will use my favourite colour combination, brown and pink! Or tiffany blue with brown? Or pink and black? So much choices! LOL.

Anyway I even get Guan to get those cute little cupcakes for my bday!.. Haha.. talking about thick skin.... Poor Guan!
