愛上熱飲

et oui, je prefere slurping mon hot drink avec une baille. C’est plus excitante de boire une brevage chaude avec une baille, the thrill of burning yourself when you sip too quick, so you know better where the taste is located in your tongue.

coup donc, come to think of it, j’ai beaucoup  de bizarre d’habitude en ce qui concerne de EATING HABIT
ah oui, jaime dipping les frites de mc do dans la glace. et je prefere boire du HOTTE original bubble tea tres chaud tres chaudement.

recemment, j’suis tombee amour avec des soups salee.
et oui, jai prefere les soupe que ma mere prepare, sont parfaitement fait a mon gout.

changement de topic, 
alors que vendredi, jsuis allee presente un petit talk par rapport avec la marketing de bouffe.
Rien ne rester dans ma tete sauf comment il nous a dit experiment in life and do research on things that you like to, 
don’t afraid to be wrong, he suggests strongly to be wrong many times in our life, which i find that part inspiring.
He significantly put it: sometimes even when  you right, you are wrong.  haha

—

alas, life is about experiment and finding something that you like to do. 
I believe i find the right field!

 

oh and also he mentioned that not to specialized in one thing but try to learn many things in life. 
it’s reminiscent of what i read from many self help book and financial book. They always insist to acquire information in every domain, because information is more valuable than money.

in retrospect of my life, i guess i made the good choice of always wanting to learn japanese. and i feel grateful that i have been coming so far even though there were many discouraged words said by friends and even family. I am proud that i know how to speak 5 languages. I have always followed my faith and i believe i will accomplish my goals.

last point, the guy mentions that the most important things in life it’s to have vision. This idea somehow connects to my boyfriend. Sometime, he is so confident that makes him attractive… something like the rich girl in love suffle says it, it’s something that shine within himself. hahaha. 

btw, the title of the talk was “Successful food Innovations: Musing from a Pioneer.” by Howard R.Moskowitz. 

basically the first part is about how he used data mining to get what consumer wants. something that i did research on. His main point focus on how to know consumer mind even before they can describe themselve. Sothe  3/4 of the speech was about how he conduct the experiment, which i always felt asleep. The ending part was more interesting, he talks about how he finds the pattern of consumer, etc etc. Well he conducted this test the new line of Pepsi and a Chip i forgot the name. Some innovative product to capture us, the consumer. 

 

blah! I’m going back to watch my love shuffle.

idea shopping

urbain outfitter has always been my favorite store to look around and shop. 
they have all kind of lomo cameras and useless stuff  displays in their vitrine.

i usually get very happy when i got something that i want when it’s on discount. 

like today, i got 25 colorful Band-Aids for 2.25, i was happy. 
i’m glad that they change their plastic bag to paper bag. more environmental friendly. 

tired, went to have nap in the second floor and always there will be some people there waking me  up for no reason, like there were planned to wake me up or something. alarm clock power hahaha

inspiring music of the month

minimalism doesn’t only apply in my room but in my ipod too.
I like to loop my song over and over until i get tired of it.
I find a similar pattern in some of my coworker i touch, we share the same genre of music. I have a really limited of song that i like to hear. I don’t get in touch with music or pop song very much, i prefer silent over music. I prefer the sound of piano over karaoke. Really. if i got the chance, i would continue to learn piano for real, not just remember the key like i used to for the sake of glory and pride. (foul of myself)

inspiring music of the mouth

less is more

i’m reluctant to take photography because i’m so detail oriented recently.
i’m afraid of spending time that contributes to learning of my mistakes. which i should in retrospect because that’s how we learn. i’m just tired by my own constrain. why should i limit myself ? take it for example, my ex business card is a time consuming project where i already finish the design last year but somehow i’m so picky for  the details and concerned about the look of it. 

i’m not trying to be perfect but i’m trying to meeting my need. where i can never met.

i need some room to collapse my solid restrain.

take it relax can i?

i feel that i’m always trapped of being the slave of time where there insufficient time is being alloted to my design work. 
the time when i’m free, i don’t handle it very well.

recently when i look at my work and i feel being slave of my right side brain, meaning that i’m always trapped of being ” strict of my work”or people called it “too serious”.  i wanna play when i design just as Paul Scher does for her work.

 fun and serious can not go hand and hand in design. 

where is the middle ground and where can i find the balance.

as we are approaching the end of semester, i find more and more inspiring idea in me. 
i feel comfortable rather surprised by my creativity sometime, my work shows astonishing result as not being criticized for  lack of creativity but smart. i’m very flattered hearing those comment. 

behind each satisfied work,there were moment that i  feel nobody exists but me;  i’m so concentrated on that work that everything will devote to that piece of design. 

today, it’s mind free day, i call it inspiration day. 
Enjoy it michelle Wu.
