Half of my Holiday (part 2)

Alright gona blog about Spikes Asia today


















Spikes Asia was inspiring and an eye opener for me.
It was a great experience for me.
Honestly the first day of Spikes, I dun quite understand what some of the speakers were talking about.
I guess its because Im not really exposed to this kind of things yet.
However, I did learn a few stuff like in source and out source of talents.
The first day was mostly about advertising how to get the consumers attention and how various brand companies and agencies work.
The day ended well with a stand up comedy at the end.
Indeed it was hilarious by Papa CJXD
Day 2 was more interesting as I can somehow relate to the seminar more.
The second day was more on the topic of how companies get creative and tips to creativity.
One tip was storytelling, making your advertisement storyline base to attract viewers.
Easier for viewers to relate to.
'Audience don't fall in love with plots but with characters.'
I agree as I m an audience myself and I do have favourite characters.
Like Hawkeye frm Avengers, Hermione Granger from Harry Potter, etc.
Another saying presented by one of the speakers, which I agree totally with was
'There is no courage without fear'
In life, there is always fear but it depends how you overcome it, tat is wat they call courage.
Applying to advertising, one have to try breaking the comfort zone n do something crazy instead.
Various advertisments were showcased and some really did inspire me.
















Day 3 was superb. Got to attend the Spikes Asia Awards Ceremony!!
The funny thing was we jus went there with our 'smart casual'.
when we saw all the other big shots, dress in suits and gown.
We were like "....ok..." haha.
The awards ceremony was one of my fav part of this Event.
Saw many great works tat inspired me, the moment i reached home, i went to rewatch the ads. xD
I find it interesting when people from around the world gathered here and have talks, sitting at seminars.
The funny thing is that every speaker is frm a diff country and thus, various accent can be heard.
haha Interesting to watch n hear though.
Well, the event was kinda for all the big shots companies
I dun see much students there so we were kinda the 'attraction' there.
HAHA. I mean where ever we walked, people kinda stared at us.
Maybe Im too cute. HAHAHAHA
guess I should wear a shirt saying "I know I'm cute. Stop looking"
Overall, it was an amazing experience n I thank TSA for letting me have this opportunity to attend Spikes Asia 2012. ^^
Tats all abt Spikes Asia~

Half of my Holiday (part 1)

Back to blog.
and Yes, Im lazy to do this, but I still wana do it.
well, its like half of my holiday now.
So gona talk about how I spent it 'wisely'. lol~
well this gona be my last holiday for this sch year, as ITP is waiting the nxt holiday.
So gona spent it nicely and cherish the holiday.
well, the first week of my holiday was to rest and I really mean,
REST! yes it consist of sleeping, slacking, livin the live of a pig...
no. dog would be a nicer word
of course I've been doin my art stuff and building my portfolio.
My portfolio will be open to public as soon
oh yea and spent quite sometime with my dad.
went to his shop and took some photos of his items, planning to rebrand and build up his website.
hope I will be successful in carrying out his website (fingers crossed)
yea, then went out to cycle with a cpl of friends at east coast.
you might think that its jus a normal cycle but this was no NORMAL.
We reached there and walked to have our lunch and when we were about to rent our bikes,
we saw dark clouds and knew wat was coming,
but who cares, we are determine to CYCLE tat day and jus rented our bikes
then a 'hurricane' came by, huge gust of wind blew as we cycle our way down the park
it was EXCITING I would say.
Then it started to drizzle so we decided to stop by a pavilion and enjoy the breeze.
Yep and I am no kidding, the wind was tat strong tat almost blew us off our seats.
Sat for awhile to enjoy this part of life, nature and....wind. xDD
then we decided to continue despite the weather.
yea it was shiok until when we cycled to one end of the park, the rain got heavier,
we decided to turn back and return our bikes.
when we got back, we were DRENCHED, like we jus went into the ocean to find lil mermaid
and got back up xD
so time to leave the park...but how?
you might think bus back to the mrt will be a great idea.
but no...bus only comes on weekends. yes WEEKENDS! >.<
so we decided to hire a cap. another great idea.
but no...no caps/taxi... cauz it was a highway no taxi gona stop either.
but lucky, as we were figuring a way out, we met a cap and cap down to the mrt.
Its my first time experience cycling in the rain
an memorable experience indeed.
This is one interesting thing I did during my holiday,
stay tune for part 2!
JA~
