Nostalgia

When I was enjoying my holiday at my home, I dug out much stuff that recalled many memories back to the days. Due to the caveman lifestyle while I am home, so I post this after I came to KL.

When I study at KL my sister already asked for a name card and flyer design for her opening workshop in July. Well, coincidently I got an assignment to redesign others name card. I took the chance to design my sister’s name card and got my dear lecturer to prove it! I was glad when CJ told me that name card look good. But I knew that what are the comments (bad) my sis going to give. I was still excited to show her the name card. Although I knew the ending, yet the disappointment filled my heart. I did show her the other name card that I designed as well. Well, I don’t understand that why she thinks that the other card is better than hers. They are both my design! Alright, I treat this as an opportunity to convince my customers in the future. Unfortunately I failed. I did flyers and signboard for her too, but she rejected the ideas and she still saying that I didn’t do that kind of design for her after she had seen my college artwork. Hmmmm… what should I do? I did tell her that designs vary on different things. At last I concede from what I insist of. I mind if they give the other designers to design on my work. Not because of I am good, but I can tell how my design will become after the designer accepts that business from my sister. I got the thought of giving up designing for her. Cause they cannot accept what I am doing. I do not want anyone to criticize on my work nor laugh on it coz I have my pride. May be I am just not that good.

I dug out many things that recall of my teenage memories while helping my father to look for something. I think I am a good collector. Haha. I can keep things in good condition for years. This make me cannot understand how can my nephews ‘destroy’ the things easily. I remembered that I got a bicycle from my mother and I kept it good for few years. When it turned into my nephew’s hand, it was either spoiled or stolen after a few months if I wasn’t mistaken. I saw the kukumalu brand coins bag that I bought when I was 16 years old and the pouch for the Pantech cell phone, Eric, Nini and her sis cross my mind. I saw the watch as a class rep present gifted by Ah Sir. The watch and key chains (souvenirs form Thailand) gifted by wanyi. I gave one to my cute nephew. A decorate birthday bear from Daren. My favorite drama acted by Takeshi Kaneshiro and Kyoko Fukada. Two Super Junior’s album I bought in SG last 2 years. The Angela Zhang’s album from Ying Chien and Franky Fong! New Year cards from my classmates. And I found the Japanese notes with my beautiful handwriting covered with my favorite color sheets!!

I like the nostalgic feelings.
