A short trip to China & Singapore

Ever since I got back from our 11-day trip, I’ve been coughing out phlegm and using up boxes of tissues. I’m not sure how it happened but maybe it’s the lack of water I had overseas, or being overly tired from the heat and our hectic schedules. I figured the best remedy would be to read, rest in bed and make another holiday video.

Such a short trip, it’s hard to believe some of the footage here were recorded just a few days ago.

I’ve updated my travel gallery with a few more photos (also some from the last Japan trip). View it here.

Design had evolved naturally, as a passion and a lifestyle beginning at an early age when I made trips back to the motherland, Indonesia, I experienced the surroundings and the lifestyle that was vastly different from what I was used to. I found myself passing by villages where children made their own toys with whatever was left around them; scrap metal, bits of cloth, banana leaves, and even cigarette butts. Despite this, the children were happy and proud with anything they created.

This image struck me and forever inspires me to contribute my skills to places that need it the most. Design helps me make decisions, while art helps me take risks. Both areas reward me with opportunities to create something impactful and everlasting!
