An idea is always formed first in the mind and then transferred to the paper before it is reconstructed in the computer.
Just as for the Amazing Kids logo it is client’s desire to have an image of a mother giraffe and baby giraffe’s necks formed into a heart shape which is symbolic of parental love and raising up of young leaders for this children educational center. Giraffe speaks of leadership character.

One thing in life that I have learned is to keep looking and moving forward. There are things in our past that are not always memorable, mistakes we made, failures we went through, relationships that turned sour – and those are already history!
I am reminding myself everyday is a new day. Nothing I can do to turn back time anf fix the past. It is foolish to dwell in the past and do not long for the good old days either. My best days are ahead of me. I am going to keep pressing forward! I am not going to let my past hold be back from achieving my dreams.

My ‘Subway Club’ 6 inch Sandwich was made up of Parmesan Oregano bread, turkey breast, turkey ham, roast beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, olive, green pepper, onion, mayonaise, mustard, ketchup, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. To go with Coke. Very full.
I had my Moleskine with me at that time but the Subway napkin looked too colourful for me to resist sketching on it.

No, I am not a collector but an user.
This is a quite rare find of the Yashica rangefinder range. What I like about it is the 35mm f/1.8 lens! Wideangle and big aperture – just the right camera for streets and portraiture. Cannot wait to try it out soon.

It’s alright if you can tell what are those stuff on my desk. It’s messy, anyway.

Something I’ve been reminding myself of lately. Even when your work gets rejected by client that does not mean you have done a bad job, but it simply means that some client just cannot appreciate your good work! You’re TOO GOOD for them!! Just move on and continue to give of your best! 
Be EXCELLENT in EVERYTHING you do. Don’t settle for mediocrity. Be your BEST! RISE HIGHER each time!

How many times when you’re in a situation you tend to talk about your problem and complain about it? We will find that most of the time by doing that you won’t solve the problem but it gets worse as you talk more about it.
The revelation to you today is that do not talk about your problem but talk to your problem instead! Do not speak about how big your problem is but speak to that problem how big God it!
“… if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” – Matthew 17:20
