what i am up to..

today is my self-declared off day. after every launch, i suffer from a day of burnt out where i can't do anything. my body feels a little tired, my brain feels extremely tired. there is so much more other stuff to get done that i dun feel like doing any of them. so i went out to shop around instead. i tried to look for cool accessories but i am not liking what i see today. i am so tempted to start making accessories myself but i doubt i have the time. i love accessories and bags! haha.
i am also currently working on a tote with a fren, sokkuan who is an illustrator (based in singapore). she used to be from ogilvy too but singapore office. i hope to collaborate with designers or illustrators to produce a special item every year! it could be a cap, a purse or a tee with an universal message. that would be so cool! just by thinking about it makes me feel energetic! at times like this when i feel really tired, i really need to think about new ideas to motivate myself! i love to work on new projects! anything new excites me! hahaha.
i have to thank you guys for reading my thots. sometimes i find it dull to brainstorm on my own, (we used to work as a writer-art director team in the agency, so i always had someone to bounce ideas around). at times i do ask kym or my brother for their ideas, good thing they are really into fashion. if not i will be miserable. other times, i think i will empty my thots here. it does help a little. i especially love it when you guys drop comments to make the blog interactive! : )
here is one of sokkuan's illustration of miss sophie black for you. i love her thick black hair! to see more of sokkuan's works, click on sokkuan.blogspot.com! have a great week ahead!!

Hi there,

U know..i check out your blog whenever i have the time and im glad to say that i can now be considered as one of your 'faithful followers' of your fashion site as well as your blog...

Im an AE in an MNC ad agency ....i was from a local agency and recently moved to an MNC... its really quite different and ppl have expectations of u...im still trying to take it in my stride...

But i really envy you..and your lifestyle...doing whatever you want..at whatever time that plesaes you...i cant tell u how jealous i am of you! Hhhaa

I wish i could achieve your kind of lifestyle someday...in the meantime..im still trudging along....

hi adelene, thank you for your comment. yes i understand how its like in an MNC. i worked in MNCs for 9 years before starting kyurii. at times it can be really tough, but hang in there. learn as much as you can, it will benefit you in whatever you choose to do in future. after i left, i realised how much adv had taught me and i am grateful for all that earlier 'suffering' : ) just remember if i can do it, you can also do it! adv girls are tough chicks! haha. the right time will come and you will know. you have my support!

hi suyin,
i was wondering what your day job is? anyway what does kyurii mean? if you're looking for fresh illustrators and designers, you can drop me an email, I'm from a local design institute so I know a whole school of them!
