The Month Before

the whole of august
was planning what to do for her
as she is going to begin a new chapter in her life
everything will be easier if i just buy something but
then it would'nt bring any significant meaning and
she won't really like it as i already
promise that i wont buy
so i decided to make it instead

talked to a lot of friends about what to do
what will reflect my feeling and make an impact
the initial plan i had in mind was to make a card
in the exact replica of her phone
with the birthday part resembling an app of the phone
but it was overly complicated and i have to admit
i am very very bad at artworks!!
*that's why i keep looking at your phone*

as the day countdowns, i still have not manage to figure
what to do and it was really frustrating
was out with a friend to buy some artwork material
when i stumble upon the colour paper section
which i usually ignore in popular bookstore
i had an idea of what to do for her
asked my friend to teach me some tricks about art and craft
and also ask my brother about some tricks about it
as he is studying art related program

the idea was to make her a notebook with multi coloured pages
and have something in them which are important to her
wonderful and important memories which she treasure
the plan involve a lot of cutting, pasting and writing
along the way, i had idea about how to make it better
and i'm quite happy with myself
being able to come up with that idea
and appreciate my friend giving me support

29.08.2012
one day before that day
i had completed almost everything
what is left is to put everything together
and it is not easy at all
putting everything together in accordance to my idea
i realise that as i slowly progress
that it's going to be a very long day
as i have no class today
i started my quest from morning and it is still not completed
when i reach 3am in the morning
and by then i had to scrap off one of my ideas
as i have not enough time and most importantly
the binding that hold them together
will not be able to accommodate my plans
it was very frustrating at first when i first realise it
spend a lot time thinking how to get it done
without sacrificing any of my ideas
but after one whole hour of desperate brainstorming
i decided to scrap the idea and move on
but i already had a long day
in a small accident, i accidentally
made a deep cut in my finger, resulting in quite a bleed
i quickly treated it, pack up my stuff and went to bed
knowing that i'm too tired to proceed and
proceeding might result in more injury.
