Monday, July 31, 2006 Why Are You Here?I just finished a inspirational book called The Why Are You Here Cafe? Found out that the book is supposed to be Fiction (to the rest of the world and to the author himself) but Singapore chose to put it under Non-Fiction. Like, HarloOw? That's SO misleading(And embarrassing might I add, that we can't differentiate between fiction and non-fiction--the world regards it as fiction but we don't!)! I Almost thought it was a true story (how'd I know since the author and narrator of the book is of the same name?) until I went online to search about it. The suggestions implemented in the story wasn't all that great, cos it just isn't that easy to let things go. At least, that's how it is coming from me, a Singaporean. But still, the questions and thinking process leading me on in the book is pretty good. And the author succeeded, I was pretty inspired by the book. (I kinda disagree with his answer to the second question. I don't fear death because I have alot of things undone and am afraid that time will run out. I fear death for other reasons. And when I read what he wrote, my first thought was actually "Sweeping statement!!") Set me thinking though, and I'm not sure about my own answers for the questions too. Anyhow, I'll post the questions here: Why are you here? Do you fear death? Are you fulfilled? Pig 
Friday, July 28, 2006 Random doodles by the talented oink*I know they are randomly nice. Feast your eyes!  There are supposed to be 4 doodles in total. Why is it that I can't pass the security guideline of wordpress for the unfortunate 3? Help pig! Panda
Tuesday, July 18, 2006 A note describing my life at present. There are many things I hope to do. Get this up and going successfully as all those successful stories (or even better), go backpacking and travelling across the world, learn languages like I always longed to, and do things that I want to do, WITH the freedom to do so. Work a work that is not 9-5 routined (preferably being this job of doodling and typing), and have enough moolah to support all these dreams and yet enough to give to my parents. The natural solution to all these would be to graduate, work my ass off, and hope luck comes my way that I have enough moolah to fulfil all these dreams before I hit old age. Seems to me I'm going the way of stereotyped Singaporeans. Those foreigners interviewed always say something about us not knowing how to take time off to enjoy life. I, however, am always amazed by how they Can take time off however busy for some road trips, holidays, biking with kids etc. How is it they can do it and yet it seems like an impossible task to me?

Thursday, July 13, 2006 Just a little updateJuggling the World Cup and work is no mean feat, so it's no wonder I haven't been here with more posts! What with another big project I had (Panda's 21st present & celebration!!!)--I was spending almost an entire month of June with barely few hours of sleep everyday. I'm becoming a panda myself :( But it's all worth it when you see the shock on a pleasantly surprised Panda's face Anyway, as the title suggests, just a little thing to fill up the spaces. I did this on request of my manager. She was setting up a new committee and needed recruit members. Gave me the positions to be filled and told me to find a interesting way of selling such a boring committee. Came up with this. Admittedly, the clipart picture was typical boring, but oh well, it just had to do cos I couldn't possible doodle for a company email, could I? Those funny position-names were found when I was searching around on the World Wide Web. There was a website with really such positions! At least, my first attempt at a poster! I still think the clipart was the most un-pro thing.  Pig
~ About Us ~
2 strangers met when they were 17 and they had one thing in common that made them click- they didn't like to go home. It didn't take long for both to befriend each other and there they go, starting to spend long hours chatting about almost nothing(or anything) after sucky bland classes. They don't talk about boys like most girls do at their age simply because they weren't interested. They were however, very interested in doodling, sketching, designing etc, anything that produces beautiful stuff (marked 'pass' by their very own stringent standards). But they were(and still are) nonchalant and un-ambitious: They doodle (and throw) and the next day comes.
4 years and 1 day later, Panda got frustrated seeing all the mass produced-commercialized-heavily over priced-BOOootiful (her foot is more beautiful) products gaining so much popularity and sales. Why are everyone donning street wear, buying cards worth only 1/8 of the selling price and yet, (most importantly!), unhappy with all their grand purchases?
She confided to sama sama sentiment Pig and tada! Lightning! Thunder! Acidic rain! They decided to pursue what they've always been dreaming for - a space for their creativity to be unleashed, shared with everyone, anytwo. This is a site in its toothing stage, and they would love to see it grow with your inputs, piece of work, comments, criticisms, or even simply your viewing pleasure.
Watch it grow :D
Yours truly,
Pig & Panda
