I took MC from work the other day and decided to do something, I have been wanting to draw and paint so yes I did.

I drew a couple of items and most was not impressive, my pear looks like..lines. Then I drew an apple as taught by the guidebook and here it is:

And my apple looked more like a pumpkin and well..er, it’s getting there. I drew an onion after that, it does look a decent onion, it was confirmed by my mother.

The other day went looking on the web for jobs again, I got really tired of it. I got so irritated with being so desperate yet I don’t want to give in to working in a print shop. I scrap the cover letter template I made. It became such a routine so I sent out a cover letter that reads:

I am a fresh graduate from Temasek Polytechnic Design School with a Diploma in Visual Communication. I saw your ad looking for a graphic designer with experience which I do not have but I would like to send in my CV and portfolio anyway to give it a shot because I don’t think I have anything to lose except you might never want to hire me in the future.

I really need a job and I am tired of writing unimpressive and boring cover letters. I do not have a winning portfolio and there are many many more talented people than me however, I am definitely one of the more hardworking, responsible, detailed  and willing to learn people around.

If you would not like to hire me to be a graphic designer in your company, I am still keen on being a personal assistant, coffee girl, cleaner or intern.

Attached is my portfolio and CV, I would be available for interview anytime.

I am really sorry if I wasted your time and energy reading this. I really sincerely apologise in advance.

Thank you!

I am sure I wasn’t thinking right. But that’s ok, it was fun.

And I got an interview..no, not from the above company I send the cover letter to, another company that I send a decent simple, cover letter to. I said I was keen on an intern position too so maybe it’s for an intern position.

My domain is expiring soon and I need a new name. Suggestions?

When I was doing my Drawing Founderation class, I I bought every type of drawing materials thinking it’s good investment. I got different types of pencils, poster colours, fabric paint, water colour, arcylic paint, gouche, chalk, characol, colour pencils, oil pastel and different types of papers in all different sizes..

It’s 3, almost 4 years later, most of them only been used once.

I am actually determine to learn drawing, I even have two books about drawing. I am determined yet I am lazy.I love drawing and I want to say I am good at it but I am not. I am learning drawing all over again like a non-drawing person.

So the other day after work, I suddenly feel like painting in watercolour. So I went to Bras Basah and bought a watercolour sketch book.

And I want to draw today.

My sister took leave to study at home today. She left the dining table while I was watching ‘The Price Is Right’ on TV. After the show, I went to her room to look for her..not there, batheroom, no..parents’ room..no and thought she left the house without me knowing which is quite amazing.

But it turns out she fell asleep on my bed.

My sister sleeps there’s no tomorrow.

The doctor says I am getting a fever soon. My temperature is 37.2 degrees.

I watched ‘Miss Potter‘ on Star Movies just now.  It was a charming movie, very fairytale and magical and makes you just want to move to a countryside (in Europe of cos, you can consider Fernvale to be a countryside if you want) and be a farmer.

And importantly, it made me wanna draw and paint and it reminded me of how badly I draw and paint.

I just whipped out my sketchbook, 2 guidebooks, water colour pencils and charcoal to draw. And I assure myself in no time, I will give up on drawing again once I see my bunny drawing turn into a pig.
