I do remember you, because we met in the '90s!!

Thanks for Fashion Foie Gras's post "Giorgio Armani and Karl Marx in a Range Rover Sport Ad? Right beside Carolina Herrera and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe..." and the link provided, I am having fun on the website and really enjoying myself there right now. 

Okay, you don't know what I am talking about? Yeah.. I am just found out a good website which brings you lots of ads around the world. Ads through all kind of media could be found here. Many of them are worth-thinking about and -trying to understand. I am quite JEALOUS with those who had those ideas and resulting in everyone likes them. I think I should spend more time on understanding the culture of the world so that I can be familiar to things that not only surrounding me, but also about others. Therefore, I can have more creative and unique ideas as well. 

The above ads has received a GOLD medal on Ads of the World January 2013. Honestly, I am quite touched by the ads. As young adults from the '90s, we are the group who had caught the right time in getting along with technology. I remember when I was 8/9 years old, my family had our very first computer. Seriously at that time, computers were not famous and not many family had a computer. I was luck!! And '90s kids were in the transition of playing outdoor to indoor. Wholeheartedly, I really appreciated what Microsoft Internet Explorer brings us. These activities absolutely brings back lots of childhood memories. You grew up. So did we.  I love the creativity of this ads, it echos with us, the '90s kids. 

I hope Internet Explorer does grow up like us. Being a better browser.

Wedding Party Decoration ♥ ♥

Back to Adelaide last Thursday, I do enjoy my holiday in Hong Kong. 

Missing those shopping time, shops close around 10pm, missing street food as well. 

However, I am glad that I am back. 

After landed on Thursday, put down my luggage, I had to WORK straight away!!

Luckily, I am quite used to have some long sleep on the plane, 

therefore I was not that tired. 

First time for me to decorate for the wedding, sounds fancy but not at all!!

It's all labour work!! I was asked to do the chair covers.

It is an easy job but boring.
Just REPEAT the same actions for over 300 times, then you are almost done.

Honestly, I would like to try to do the ribbons which were tightened behind the chairs. 

I have practised over 30 mins, I could not even get one on. Could you believe it??

This is a skilful task, I should secretly practice them at home!!

{ Another wedding avenue - a super big one }

{ We did flower decoration for the wedding as well }

{ What a nice wedding cake }

Me and Trista were working really hard last Saturday, as she said: " We have worked for 17 hours!!"

Although it is a dull task, repeat doing the same things over and over again, I like it. 

I feel like I had do something worthwhile and the results just make you happy!

I am looking forward to another decoration day :)

Wow.. I think I can cook too!!

I was reading my Maria Claire this afternoon, and personally, I don't know the reason as well, love to read from the back to the front. While I flipped through the lifestyle section, the little title "WEB WATCH" caught my attention. It was introducing the food blog which developed by Melbourne foodie Pat Breen and Sean Fennessy. I was dragged into the whirl by the cherry pie picture, therefore I did pay a little visit to

Eat This Food.

Wow!! The site looks extremely attractive.

First thing: attracted by the creative font

I fond of getting perfect font for my designs, always spend most of my time finding the suitable font for each design. Once I saw their font(design), oh I can tell you I totally fall in love with this website. I believe font is always the first thing to keep your audience, as it gives the first impression for the viewers. I told myself, "it must be in my bookmark!" (Just because they have creative font)

Second: attractive pictures and creative design

Look at those pictures!! I really want to jump into the screen and taste those delicious yummy food. There is no complicated, grand setting, but family-like warm frame. It seriously makes me feel like I can make those dishes too!! Great job!!

Lastly(the main point): the variety of dishes

I believe they had just developed the blog for a short time. They do not have hundreds of recipes, but quite a number of them. MAIN POINT: they all sound good and EASY !! I think we can make every of them!!

In all means, I LOVE THIS BLOG !! Its simple but creative design attracts the attention. I believe, it will have lots of fans in no time. Good job:)

Things that you need in your life: Creativity and Challenge

This morning, while I was checking my facebook, this youtube video popped out from a fan page. The comments for it were eye-catching, therefore I clicked it and looked forward to its amazement. Honestly, I rarely watched videos but these guys' creativity just moved me to watch more of their videos. 

They are not really doing something like participants in American Got Talent, The Voice or X Factor, they are just simply street artists. They love playing music, they dare to receive challenges publicly. I love their guts!! Their creativity brings interactions between musician/ artists with the public audiences and everyone enjoys that. This brings not only skill challenges for them, but also the happiness and refreshing experiences for the crowd. It helps people to remember their performance. In the aspect of marketing, their unique idea of music performance will bring them good impression. It is a powerful way of doing advertising for themselves as well as their group. 

Creativity and challenges are necessary in our life journey. The combination of these two elements will create some sparkles which helps lightening up your 'boring' life. But the first question for yourselves is: Do you dare to face challenges? If not, you will just keep following your daily routine, and never can experience the happiness of overcoming a challenge. 

With Love,

Graduation Card Preparation

If you are my previous reader, I know you would understand how much I love having a craft design project. It, at least, give me the feeling of success.
However, my drawing is not good and I need much mores time than others to prepare. Usually, a project might at least takes me two days to think and finish. For a bigger one, minimum requires three whole days.

I enjoy the pleasure that art brings me. Those abstract ideas are always open-ended. There is no right or wrong in art, depending on how you judge it. The most important thing is YOU THINK IT IS GOOD. If you don't love it, no one will.

As my dearest friend is going to have his graduation while I'm away to Hong Kong, of course, I had to do something apart from trying to FaceTime everyone on that day. Therefore, preparing a card seems a must. And, flowers definitely. Hopefully, the florist won't ripe us off.

Okay, here is process of preparing my 'pure word' graduation card.
