Stuck..

Getting stuck in the very first stage of the whole project..
Brainstorming for GOOD and FRESH ideas..
This feeling sucks..

Creating postcards telling your 'imaginary overseas friend' about Sg, knowing that Sg isn't that perfect..
I don't want to be a hypocrite by just telling them the good points only..
But it's also not sensible to 'advertise' Sg by showing its bad points..
But Sg itself is no much different than other countries..
Especially in terms of technology etc..
I think what's slightly special about Singapore is its 'rojak' culture..
But everyone is doing that..
It's nothing special already..
It's not a fresh idea..
Some other ideas are not quite feasible, knowing that I can't take the relevant images in such a short time left..
Others are mere cliches, which I myself don't find enjoyment in doing postcards based on them..
I can always take the cliche ideas and work on it, but what's the point!?
If I don't even like it, why am I doing it!?
And another thing, I must use photos in my postcards, in the name of IMAGE manipulation..
That really destroys my chain of ideas..
So much restrictions..
Can't I just do illustrations??
It's not like all postcards are taken with photos..
Aarghh...

This really sucks..

Ok, sorry for blabbering so much..

Jesus, teach me how to become a good artist outside Your church..
I can't stay like this if I want to become salt and light in my community..
As well as serving you faithfully in Your Church..
How can I design IN YOUR NAME for my school? For the world outside Church?
Come on, You know my needs..
Please, please I beg You..
Before all of this kill me inside out..
Renew me and work in me inside out..
Use my hands to design for You..
Please design THROUGH me..
Holy Spirit, assist me..
Please..

This world sucks..
But You still love the world..
That's why You saved us..
That's why YOU ROCK!!!

Thanks lots..
Thanks a mill..
Let's do this together..

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and My burden is light."
[ Matt 11: 28-30 ]
