Creative Cap

I have always love art, design and creative things since my early childhood. I have so many coloring books and my mom will recall and say how much time I spend everyday coloring them. Later when I went to kindergarten, I will color all the images even in my Math book, hahaha! I remember one time the teacher was holding up my book and told the class how nice my work is and they could do the same. Man… do you think they’re cursing behind me that i gave them trouble? My favorite session/class was always the art & craft and music class. I paid attention on my artwork and I was thrilled every time when my piece was chosen to be put up on the wall. I have a drawer at home where I keep all my art and craft stuff and also my collection of cute things.
Somehow, later in high school I found out I was very interested in Science and decided to go ahead to pursue my study in this field. However, right after I finish high school, I think I want to be a designer…. OMG, what a confused soul…. Because of financial purposes, I was only able to study briefly in Art & Design during college.
I was lucky enough to find a job in a home fashion company where I work as the home fashion coordinator/ personal assistant of my boss who is also the creative director of the company. I love my job. It was always busy and dealing with urgency of production but I love that I was involved in creating beautiful things. I spend most of the time flipping through interior design magazine looking for ideas and whenever my boss came back from travelling to different countries, I am sure the first one she hand those magazine she bought from overseas. When she went shopping for decorative pieces for our company exhibition, she would ask me to go with her, I treasure those experiences.

New York is the capital city of the design world but it is way too competitive for international student to find a job in design. As much as I love it, I am a very practical person too. I want a career that will guarantee me a job and income…. ^_^, after all it’s a huge amount of money and energy for me to support my study here. HUGE!
Of course, how can one do something that they don’t like? Am I lucky enough to have happen to love both Art and Science, hahaha! So there I go with the Health Science, my other lover.
This is as well extremely competitive but in admission and academic wise, the demand of job is high.
I had a dream that time…I want to have a stable job which will guarantee my income and later on I would still find a way to engage my self in creative business.
So many years in such an academic demand field….I have long put away all my art and crafty tools away, although I have a whole box filled with those things but it had been quite dusty.
Sometimes, I think fate is a funny thing…you never know how it takes you by surprise ….
One day, by accident I saw something that inspire me….that calling upon my soul to once again to put on my creative cap!

Recently, I bought some art materials and I’m thrill to start my gear, hehehe!
