just a sheer idiosyncratic thoughts about my everyday life + some handpicked medley of inspirations, musings, obsessions and things of general interest.

had the wiring people came over this morning to get some hacking job done. i added a few plug-in socket just below the window, where i want my study desk to be. as for the wall color, i honestly can’t decide which color to choose. i want something that goes well with lavender curtain. i’m thinking of painting the wall with some sort of cream-ish or off-white tone but then i really want to make my room cozier so maybe a taupe feature wall will do…? meh-i don’t know. all this while, people kept telling me that i have a good sense of color but now i really doubt it.

storyboard.

sitting at home doing nothing makes me anxious. i need to do something productive. therefore, i’m planning on revamping my own bedroom. here are some of the things that i find inspiring:

perforated screen with geometrical pattern in Mughal architecture; pleated and crochet fabrics; neutral warm colors such as beige, grey and mauve; simple lines, classic style and delicate metal work found in antique accessories/furniture.                

i’m going to Dulux store tomorrow to get some sample pots.

another update on my design studio project. nothing much, just some design ideas that were being updated.

kinto-un.
i drove home alone at 6pm after working all day with Mimi and her production team, discussing about the script, looking at the audio files and deciding the details while estimating the duration of each sequence. it was fun. i know that technically, i shouldn’t be there at all because i don’t have any skill or experience in that field but they really make me feel like i’m part of the team. i’m so thankful for this wonderful experience so far. unfortunately, after a productive day at work, i drove home feeling frusterated over something else.
i am nursing a viral infection which caused me 3 days of running nose and itchy eyes. it has come to a point whereby my eyes are itching like hell but there is nothing left for me to do except rubbing my eyes with the back of my hands and instill lots of eye drops for temporary relief. i need to go see my doctor tomorrow. i don’t know what caused the infection…but for now, i’m going to blame the hot weather and the polluted air. even my dad has an on and off fever. and Donut got a nose bleed last night, which i thought was hilarious because it was a rare sight for me to see blood gushing out from her nose.

mimi.
i started the day by going for a morning walk, which was good. later that evening, Mimi and i hung out and we had a talk about film production, casting and other stuff, which i thought were amazing. she is working hard. she worked with the scriptwriter today and she told me that she finally feels like it all starts to make sense. and she is also thinking of using me in the pre-production. basically, what i have to do is help her out with the storyboard presentation, create some visual images to help communicate ideas to the production team. i said yes to that, of course.

temptation.
i feel very creative these days. i started a new project that i really like, a vintage themed project for someone. i had all day free for myself, so i really went for it. if i continue at this pace i’ll have the whole thing finished within 2 months. fun. fun. fun. worked for 4 hours and then Alisha came by. i love having her around. we had a conversation about fear. after all that is said and done, it’s still what and how i feel at the end of the day, which still, left me in a puddle mess of confusion. i can try to be honest, but will that serve any purpose at all? truth be told, i’m not sure how since i don’t know where it begins and where it ends. how now? i took a break after she left. Donut, mom and i went to Baskin Robbins in Taipan USJ and spent a really funny evening together. i had Jamoca Almond Fudge and Pralines ’n Cream. mom told me that Jamoca is a classic flavor because she used to have it 20 years ago in the US. interesting.
