not appreciated

if only you could have a little bit more faith in me and my work.

last week my boss asked me to design a pantry, and i was happy and excited because...this office pantry is b i g comparing to other offices' pantry~ and boss give sign that i can do whatever i want because they have rather a good budget for it.

so happy! because i can take this as part of portfolio :) so i put lots effort in it hehehehe~ and i am glad it turns out looking good.

inspiration?

my dream destination: santorini island, greece. the white-est white and the royal blue color is so so so so refreshing! so i seize this opportunity to pour it into a-mini-cafe style.


cool right? i mean, the strong royal blue and blazzing white are both cool colour. but as long as we use yellow warm light fittings, or perhaps using a light brown-type of wood, it would feel cozier, a perfect type of pantry!do you know what my boss said?

change the wavey bench to straight.
add more colour.
make it more like bright, cheerful, like...mcdonald.

okay la, this one also work geh, but i still think the wavey bench make a better statement. and hello...it is not imposibble nor expensive to construct!

but for color scheme, i insisted and didn't do any changes.

each time he said, do something different, see other ppl can make it into magazine, we didnt; bla bla; bla;

but during these 2 years of my service, all his comments on my design is to cut here and there, change this to that, and in result?

nothing but ordinary and exactly same with e v e r y b o d y e l s e.

all these while i admit i comply to him because i looked down on myself and felt, "ah, let's follow what he said because he had all those 30 over years experiences and he is the one dealing with the client so perhaps i just lack of understanding."

how mistaken i am.

dont get me wrong, my boss is a nice person. but i think he is more into older taste. and perhaps after lots of ups and down he grow into a conservative style. afraid to push, and contradict himself saying we do not produce creative work.

what a joke. for i had made myself a joke all these while.

it's okay, i learned today.
