Design thinking & innovation?
Are designers innovators, or are innovators designers? Or is it a case of “not all designers are innovators, but all innovators are designers?” What if all of us had design thinking - would there be mass innovation, or simply mass improvisation?

Just saying
So, we were having dinner at this Taiwanese restaurant, and the Chinese couple sitting beside us (the tables were pretty close, like those in Paris) called for the bill.
.
m (my sis): Ehh...the girl paid leh. (in Chinese culture, normally the guy would pay for meals, especially on dates-every single time, unless in exceptional cases.)
me: Oh yeah?
pj (our friend): Hmm...maybe the guy is the brother?
me: Oh right, I normally pay when going out with E or J (my brothers - since I'm the eldest)
m: Hmmm...but they don't look alike leh...
me: *sudden thought*...waaiit. I just remembered, he cannot be her brother! China has a one-child policy!
m&pj: Oooohhh!!! Yahhh!!! How can we forget?
me: Or, maybe he's her cousin? You know, cousins are pretty much like your own siblings in China.
pj: Oh, but the rich sometimes have more than one kid. You just pay for the license to have more children.
m: Cannot be! The girl was like, looking at the guy like this. *poses somewhat coquettishly* You mean you do that in front of your brother?
all: haa...eeyer, nowadays. (disapprovingly)
.
by the way, we're saying all these while the couple were still sitting beside us. But in order to be able to do so without them noticing it, we spoke in very typical Singlish since our friend is not Indonesian.

my lil sis confronting a chronic liar/loser
loser: This is BS!
lil sis: This is BS? YOU are BS!
.
loser: You better watch your mouth.
lil sis: Watch my mouth? I should have reported you to the police the last time you stole her money!
loser: ....
friend: whoa.
.
friend: That bastard! He said to me at the church, "Oh, you stopped clubbing already?" In front of everyone! I don't even go to clubs that often. (note: for Indonesian Chinese girls, it's all about 'reputation'; and clubbing, even if you're just chilling with friends, is pooh-poohed upon.)
lil sis: You should have retorted, "Yes, but you, have you stopped being a THIEF?"
.
The lives they lead are in technicolour.

“that’s where we are, in paradise.”
– the hotel staff at the hotel we’re staying right now in Amsterdam, when showing us directions. I don’t know if it’s true, but right now here it’s mighty nice indeed.

and so ensues a whole day of gushing about € needed and constant "D.C, D.C!" (damage control)

Shiseido | uno →
Shiseido UNO’s new Fog bar advertisement, shot in London. Me and my friends are planning to go to London Eye (finally) because of this and probably do a mock-up version. <3
