We've Made it to the Top 3!

This adrenaline-pumping days were finally came to us again. Me and my partner Risya decided to give it another shot to beat the challenge of Daun Muda Award 2010. I must say, the brief was as wide as an Olympic size swimming pool... it's huuuuge but it's wiiii-iii-iiidely confusing :D. We've been facing a lot of doubts in solving this brief and the burden from last year's competition was still haunting us night and day... yet time is still ticking. So we thought that it's best for us to just enjoy the process and let it flow. And yep, once again we got ourselves in to the Top 10 Final! :D. This time, we decided to give focus on presentation, knowing that last year... we suck at that :P.

So when the judging night came... of course my hands were shaking like mad. But thank God I think it went pretty well, because we left the judging room with a smile on our faces.

The next day, when they announced the Top 3 finalists in the seminar, our names were also being shouted by the announcer. Yes, we're one of the Top 3 finalists! And we got to present our project, not only in front of the judges, but also an opened forum.

We didn't win the battle in the end. But it was a necessary fight. :)

Long Post No See! :D

Hello!

I haven't got the time (yet the bloody mood) to drop a few lines here. So YES, it's a rewind to the past few months, then.

On November 2009, me and my art director helloicha were selected to be one of the ten finalists of Daun Muda Award of Citra Pariwara; a competition for young creatives in advertising industry. Well we didn't actually won the competition :P, but yeah, it was one hell of a competition. But I must say, I learned a lot from that energy-sucking moment of my life :).

If there's a proverb that says "there's always a first time for everything", well this is definitely my first time doing a presentation in front of not one or two, but MANY legendary ECDs around Asia (I even forgot to count them).

*speechless* ___ *literally*

we're that tiny no.9 :)

Oh and during that moment, I managed some time to do this little project called:
The 'Stress Me Not' Dispenser
Well it's actually a form of Origami. You know, the one with the long and colorful rectangle paper...
You simply fold it over and over until it becomes a pentagon. And then you just poke the sides a bit and voila! You've made a star!
Well that little devil can be very addictive! Once you've decided to make one, you'll crave to make another one... and another one... and another one... until one day you realized that you have a giant pile of stars in front of your face.
Effortless, distracting, entertaining.
Very recommended for stressed and burdened people ;)

On my early December, I went to Singapore with my in laws. There's nothing much to see in Singapore when you have a thin wallet. But I always enjoy the walking. I've finally got the chance to go to Haji Lane, the 'Bandung version' of Singapore. Lots of cool and super cool stuff there, but again, money talks :). Oh and since we came in December, the Orchard was covered in a seriously massive christmas lights. I know it's global warming and all, but my eyes just couldn't resist a highly imaginative sights like that. :P

2009 outing destination: BALI.
The last time I went to Bali, it was like over than 15 years ago with my family. So yeah, everytime people get back from Bali and share some wild stories, I could only smile and wonder. YES! I'M THAT PATHETIC! Haha!
So I said to myself "One day I will go there! Don't know how, don't know when. But I will!" And thank GOD, I still have the chance to say hello to that island again.
I can't find the perfect words to describe what I felt when I was there. Mind-blowing, breath-taking, heart-breaking, you name it. It's just some journey that I know I won't regret having and won't mind having it repeated.
It was a sentimental journey for me.

For now, my life is just as flat as a pair of shoes. Not that I'm not thankful, but that's just the way it is. My resolution for 2010? It's either getting pregnant, or getting thinner :P. I want more friends and more cherished moments. And yadada yadada... it will go on scrolling down the floor if continued. Hehe.
