Words to Live By


"We're all designed to do something; something that makes you come alive. Doing what you love for a living is the definition of a fruitful, fulfilled life. I am living that life. I desire for everyone to experience that. I believe that everyone can. The catch is that it's not free. It will cost you more than you can imagine. It's the riskiest thing you will ever do. It's your heart that is at stake. Your passion is the prize possession of your heart, and to put that on the line is to put yourself in harms way. To RISK the world rejecting you. To RISK failing at the thing you want most. It will cost you everything.

But that's the thing about design.

When you are designed to do something, you can't help but succeed. Because of the One who designed you. "He don't make junk" ladies and gentleman, and He doesn't waste passions. He gave you the desires of your heart for a reason. You are designed to succeed in that which you are passionate about. You may not make the most money. You may not have the most fame. But you will have JOY. That elusive quality that separates those people who live from the people who are ALIVE."


So friends, I've finally taken the leap. I'm going to be putting it all out there - my passion, my creativity and happiness...and risking my heart.

I'm nervous and frankly, a whole lot of scared, but if I can find joy at the end of this journey, it'll be well worth the jump.

Wish me luck folks! And a thank you to those who have been there supporting me all the way.

Much love.

WFF


I've been a huge fan of WongFuProductions for a long time now; I'm sure some of you might have received links to "Yellow Fever" and "Poser!" from me in the past. What can I say, they make good stuff :P

But their recent video by Wesley Chan is breath-taking. Each frame could be a photo, and it's so wonderfully composed. The concept is about a relationship of love and loss, of longing and waiting; feelings that everyone in their life has probably felt at least once before. The interesting part is that these emotions are expressed through 5 everyday objects.

Watching videos like "When Five Fell" inspire and challenge me to go and view the world from a different perspective, from another angle.

I hope it does the same for you.

CUTMR

Last week, my friend E & I were invited to check out a friend's installation (you can check out their progress on their blog) at the Gladstone Hotel, Come Up To My Room.

I can tell you that it was one of the best art shows I've been to in a looong time! Each room & installation piece had a strong vision with excellent execution. I don't always leave an art event feeling engaged and conceptually satisfied, so I was quite pleased. Well done :)

I also bumped into a few familiar faces that I haven't seen for a while, which was an extra bonus! It's like the cherry on top of a sundae ;) Overall, it was a great day!!!

Here are some of my favourite works from the show:

Undertaking Acquisition - Chronicles of Our Time
(Maggie Greyson, Christine Lieu, Phoebe Lo)


A Piece of the Pie
(Edward Lin, Kira Varvanina)


Untitled
(Jamie Webster, Berkeley Poole)

Untitled
(Lisa Keophila, Jon Margono, Fiona Lim Tung, Kristen Lim Tung)

Can You Remember My Dream?
(Julia Hepburn)


The night ended with some good eats (nom nom nom!) and a super bargain on vintage sherry glasses (not shown):

We.


I came across this story a long, long time ago by Haruki Murakami, and so, I'm dedicating this post to a good friend who's experiencing the bittersweet taste of love.

Perspectives


Ugh, this past week I was feeling a bit frustrated and impatient...with just about everything!!! But this not only brought out some good laughs, it also put things in perspective for me.

Happy Friday!

A Different Perspective

What a breathtaking reminder of how great life (and people) can be - haha, and it's a small world after all.
