Where do you carry your heart?

I can see the paths of our intertwine,
the warmth of your palms that reached mine.
Blurred visions and painted faces,
I don't even know what i'm doing here.

Where do you carry my heart?

Atmospheric spheres,
hazing the late tears.
I sing to you with love,
but my heart is worn with fear.

Where do we carry our hearts?

save a prayer to the morning after

2010-05-18T04:02:00.000-07:00

Tidying gives me air.

But i was a tad bit lazy,
so i started with -
my entire laptop.

2010-04-29T09:24:00.000-07:00

secret is that
no one can be trusted.
secret it that everyone
wishes to be someone esle,
and to be with someone else.

I'm finally on tumblr

2010-04-13T00:31:00.001-07:00

bored out of my wits

2010-04-13T00:28:00.000-07:00

And so i couldn't take it,
all the bad late nights,
and late late mornings.

In fact - not exactly mornings.

I have this surge of energy within myself,
and i know i have a million things i've yet done,
yet there's a million more that i want to get done.

Why?

Erasing history.

2010-03-01T19:06:00.000-08:00

I feel the need to close my previous xanga blog,
but whenever i look back i pause and quiver that little.
Wondering whether I'm closing the only door available to reach history.

cold feet

2010-02-03T01:55:00.000-08:00

We've both have been in this long enough,
enduring melodramatic squabbles,
racing heartbeats and suicidal attempts.

Silly it sounds - but true.

Wicked it is that relationships torment us,
it breaks my heart to carry on fighting,
wanting everything to be so righteous -
cos reality is abstract and cloudy.

It's so hard to say you're wrong,
it's so hard to swallow that ego.

Two hearts beating, in love, but hurt.

They say time heals all wounds.
Please heal us soon.

Milestone

2009-12-17T00:43:00.000-08:00

Illustration by NanLawson
(http://www.etsy.com/shop/NanLawson)

Today marks a milestone of my life at work,
it was as if time was playing nasty tricks on me.
I've been hard at work since April and
the year has almost reached closure.

There is a mighty difference between reaching for
the impossible and realizing what you are capable of.
What is revealed at the end crosses between the two.
I've had my share of optimistic up days when the work
flow is good and i perform well and the dreaded days
that leave me burning in angst and regret,
as i look at myself mess up.

It was never easy, no one said it would be.

However, I am still here.
Always present, always resilient.

And I am definitely feeling accomplished.

I feel something in me that my gut can't point out,
neither can visuals or word trace the outlines of my thoughts.
But as i take my well deserved holiday break this year.
I've quite so learnt that I've matured.

xoxo

i need a new laptop,
i want handy digital camera.
i want my packet of facial masks,

i want a facial,
i want a fujifilm polaroid camera,
i want my marc jacobs.

and how much is my pay again?
thanks to myself for trying to be independent.

The Christmas Card Affair 2009

2009-11-11T10:31:00.000-08:00

Christmas is drawing near and finishing up the video e-card for work
has conjured my creative juices on what to do for my personal christmas cards this year.

Here are my previous 07/08 christmas cards ; a simple, easy, no fuss job.

simoneruth©

simoneruth©

simoneruth©

Thus this year..

Brief :
01. Something more than just smacking graphic/illustration on a piece of 150-180 gsm paper.
02. And it has to show where i am - my pit stop.
03. A gift to my pals reminding them of me as it's my last christmas in Singapore till 2012.
04. 2010 - a new decade? Seemingly so.. (pretty controversial)

And this year's inspiration? Typo and Interactivity!!

Smell the Harajuku!

2009-11-11T02:22:00.000-08:00

Despite having clear knowledge of my 10 bottles
of perfume in my cupboard, I wanted more.

So, I decided to try out Gwen Stefani's perfume line.
I've always looked at it in stores but never exactly
got down to sampling it thus buying it.

My pick? The Lil' Angel.

Lil Angel consist of Fruity Floral Notes:
Juicy Rasberry, Lush Pear Blossom and Warm Hinoki Woods

Although, I was a little dissappointed with my 30ml
worth of perfume in an able-to-fit 70m-100ml box.

It was an "A-OK" for a price of 30 SGD dollars, and a rather cute collector's item.
Not to forget the spot varnishing on its packaging.

a handbag for christmas?

2009-11-11T00:36:00.001-08:00

It could only be..

1. Classic Q Natasha

Made of pebbled leather.

Pros : Goes well with my age
Cons : Obviously? Only serves as a messenger bag and not a shoulder bag.

2. Classic Q Drawstring ( purple or black? )

Cons: Heavy!!

random thoughts and tears, and london

2009-11-10T23:41:00.000-08:00

Yes, I do happen to be a crier. Yesterday served as a rude awakening for myself, as i throughly assessed my capabilities and motivations.I feel as if i am weaken by the gradual monotony of everyday life. I'm losing it.As my three days off work is coming to an end, i firmly badge ;

1. To stop complaining too much, and deal with it.
2. To get back the little whims and fancies that i use to be inspired by
3. To be crazy and random, and not take myself too seriously.

That's all.

Thanks to Yiling's rolling playlist that day.
I am digging Coffee Prince : OST by Tearliner : Rain Coat
Tearliner plays a good mix of Indie / Shoegaze / K-POP and
in some way or another they remind me of Whence He Came in the yester-years.
How i miss their sound.

Fight hard, It's not final round, you see.
Way you go, Wherever you go, right place.
More you run, more you get, he says.
It's not a final round, don't give up, he waves.

Bangs from the world, and falls to the ground, you lose.
Referee's scream, the lights of the roof and fly.
More you bleed, more you get, they say.
Higher goal, better girl, they say.

so Are you satisfied? It's no need to hurry and
so Are you happy now? It doesn't safe and sound.

Wake up on the clouds, there's nothing but white & blue.
Shower with rain, Dressed with snow, and go out.
More you laugh, more you cry for me.
Sing for them, burn to fire for lanes.

xoxo

workaholic syndrome

2009-08-28T12:06:00.000-07:00

Nevertheless i could see it coming,
there's just something about me and work.

Recently, my life has been a hell of a ride,
yes - all work and no play makes jack a dull boy -
but.. i do play. And so, why am i so tired all the time?

From work, to work to work again, perhaps.
The monotony of everyday repeating itself.
I wish the corporate world was far more exciting!
I get back home, and it doesn't end there -
there's freelance projects to do and the list never ends.

Well, i would really say i am the one to be blamed,
as i can easily be difficult with everyone around and reject datelines,
BUT it's in my nature, always pleasing - which gets in the way.

I've learnt so much especially this past 2 weeks,
scrambling for air to breathe, yearning for a break.
Seeing black all around me as i yawn and think of collapsing
going without sleep. I am overworked.

And, i totally feel the only source of happiness,
comes from MOTIVATION now days.
When someone comes up and taps you saying
"You're doing good work." or when a client texts
"Hey ladies, just wanna let you guys are doing a great job."
It is really really heartwarming. Especially when you spend
hours in front of the mac, pouring your brains out and
illustrator-ing/ photoshop-ing/ indesign-ing like a mad cow.
All designers really need to feel is appreciated and not treated like a sweatshop warrior.
So...in view of my situation, knowing it myself,
what did i do? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

Except - totally go wonky and drunky today
feeling so happy that i knocked off at 6:30 AT LAST,
produced fairly good work, cancelled meeting my client,
and postponed doing work with T-REE.
Leaving the whole evening for me and dave (:

GAHS.

I need a breather soon.
Someone shake me.

P.S
dragonboy,
thanks for being so understanding.
i love you to bits!

cooking under instructions

2009-07-19T10:13:00.000-07:00

i woke up today late as ever,
making him wait for me again.
my weekends really get wasted on sleep,
i can hardly understand why i sleep so horribly much,
that when it comes to sunday, me and dave find it so
hard to justify for the wastage of precious time,
and promise that we'll do better the next week and the
cycle just nicely - eat, sleep and repeats.-

friday & saturday was movie night & party night as we attended a friend's 21st tgt.
today was pretty fun;
dragonboy and me bombarded the kitchen,
whipping up fancy dishes for dinner

01. mixed organic salad
02. miso soup
03. al dente corn, tomatoes, avocado with lime dressing
04. salmon fillet with asparagus and ham on the side
05. criss-cut fries
06. bbqed chicken
07. toasted butter bread with tomato, rosemary marinate
08. yoghurt with a fine selection of fresh fruits for dessert
09. not to forget the light alcohol, choya (:

and the cooking didn't stop there,
after dinner we baked muffins!!! (:
blueberry muffins for tml

yipees

- - -

after a hectic cook-a-holic day
there's only one thing i can't quite fathom.
that is, that i've spent so much time with dave,
and now at an ungodly hour of 1.21am,
knowingly knowing that i've got work early early early,
i'm missing him so badly.
i'm not sure why i cant get enough of him ;(

gahs.
i wish he camped in my house.

negative point = not big enough for my a4 stuff. :/
other than that, it's more or less quite perfect,

comes quite reasonably too ~ $100 SGD, ashton, korean brand.

the uniform project

2009-07-02T19:17:00.000-07:00

i've been so intrigued by this project,
take a peek! it's worth the time esp
for all those interested in sustainable fashion.

The Uniform Project

"The Idea

Starting May 2009, I have pledged to wear one dress for one year as an exercise in sustainable fashion. Here’s how it works: There are 7 identical dresses, one for each day of the week. Every day I will reinvent the dress with layers, accessories and all kinds of accouterments, the majority of which will be vintage, hand-made, or hand-me-down goodies. Think of it as wearing a daily uniform with enough creative license to make it look like I just crawled out of the Marquis de Sade's boudoir.

The Uniform Project is also a year-long fundraiser for the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots movement that is revolutionizing education in India. At the end of the year, all contributions will go toward Akanksha’s School Project to fund uniforms and other educational expenses for slum children in India."

freelancing and trying to
organize my time between my friends,

that once i get back home all i
want to do is er..sleep? and maybe
some tv watching- minimal usage
of brain cells.

thank goodness, the stressful chapter
i was facing closed, and i find myself
learning and observing more daily.
seriously, i thank god,
for always looking out for me.
as they say, god has his plan for us.
like how one of my friend put it,
god gives you the highs so you can
pull through the lows.

all i need now, is more relax time

hypochondria&whatevermore

2009-05-05T18:40:00.000-07:00

I think i'm bearly sane sometimes,
beneath my skin breeds paranoia.

Firstly, let's start with the lightning last night,i dont know about you but the lightning & thunder around my area has been awfully bad these couple of days,
awakening me from my 'am-i-in-a-dream-or-is-this-reality' dream stage.

Then, the side light which i always turn on, shines into my awakened eye and frustrates the hell out of me, so i switch it off and happily try go back to sleep. Yet after 10-15 minutes i awake haunted by the feeling that i'm alone in the room, in darkness, and i'll turn the side light back on again.

- - -

P.S in other topics such as FLU ;

I really think that people who are unwell should not go to work or take public transportation. maybe, a cab would minimize the rate of their germ spreading.

Here i am on my morning bus ride to office, and there - left right center - people coughing. And the strangest thing, is that though most Singaporean cringe their faces at people who walk around wearing mask on their faces, they strongly think that covering their mouths in the bus would prevent the germs from getting to them. It's strangely hilarious - really.

Ah, gosh - i wish i don't fall sick, i've been popping yin-chow pills ( thanks pepper for the recommendation) , vitamin c orange drinks, lifepak pills, but.. i still feel the cough coming. i hate being sick.

Muji Spice Paper

2009-05-05T02:55:00.000-07:00

I cannot be more intrigued by MUJI's spice
paper that Nick Bampton designed.
just tear the perforated area,
throw in the lightweight piece of paper
into the pan that requires whatever spice
and tada, low and behold the edible spice paper
dissolves into the dish that you're cooking up.

However, i wonder if anyone's gonna get turned off
because each sheet of spice is notably printed on.

logology

2009-05-03T22:58:00.000-07:00

"A logo is a flag, a signature,
an escutcheon, a street sign.
A logo does not sell (directly),it identifies.
A logo is rarely a description of a business.
A logo derives meaning from the quality of the
thing it symbolizes,not the other way around.
A logo is less important than the product it
signifies; what it represents is more
important than what it looks like.
The subject matter of a logo can be almost anything."

hysterics in a bottle

2009-03-27T00:17:00.000-07:00

"If you take someone's thoughts and feelings away, bit by bit, consistently, then they have nothing left, except some gritty, gnawing shitty little instinct, down there, somewhere, worming round the gut, but so far down, so hidden, it's impossible to find. Imagine, if you will, a worldwide conspiracy to deny the existence of the color yellow. And whenever you saw yellow, they told you, no that isn't yellow, what the fuck's yellow? Eventually, whenever you saw yellow, you would say: that isn't yellow, course it isn't blue or green or purple, or...You'd say it, yes it is yellow, and become increasingly hysterical, and then go berserk."

typotypotypo!

2009-03-26T01:16:00.000-07:00

i spent my entire wee hours of the
morning reading through typo books
as insomnia sunk in deep preventing
my eyes from shutting. sometimes, i
really wonder whether it's the insomnia
or my constant ticking brain that keeps
me widely awake hungry for knowledge.

- -

anyways, for typo-amateurs i strongly
recommend two books i've read thus far.

- -

01. TYPOGRAPHY by ambrose/harris

a brief glimpse into typography,
and a very easy read, lots of visuals
to engage the designer eye in all of us.

02. GETTING IT RIGHT WITH TYPE by victoria squire

clear and concise, lots of comparisons of type and
room for the critic in you to be the judge of type.
despite little visuals it manages to pull you in.

my favorite witty paragraph inside the book?

"There are no binding recipes for type combinations.
It is a matter of typographic sensitivity and experience.
Expert typographers, as well as careless amateurs,
permit themselves combinations that would horrify
colleagues with more traditional sympathies"

ahas (:

the new cellphone

2009-03-24T01:35:00.000-07:00

i've always been fascinated with things that visual excite,
as all designers do- we get bored easily with things around us,
craving for a constant shift of visuals and change. well, well....
one thing is straight, cellphones are becoming transparent!
so everything is see-through, how awesome is that?!

01. iphone concept

02. Lenovo-Poison

03. LG Electronics LG-GD900

(due to come out during the second half of this year)

04. More from designer: Mac Funamizu
