Thanonchai

Thanonchai directed this ad. It gave me goosebumps, and makes me want to live and chase my dreams.


I found an old interview he did with Agency.Asia, and absolutely loved how honest and humble he was. Here's my favourite excerpt from the interview that made me laughed out loud:


"I'd like to say that advertising is like a "shit". If we produce the advertisement that can do just advertising, it's like you put the shit on the concrete floor. But if we create the advertisement that can make highly sale for clients and can also change the way people think to be a positive way. Advertisement becomes an inspiration to the audience to do better thing in their lives. Then, that advertisement is like a shit that you put it on a grass field and it becomes a fertilizer and make the world even better. Advertising will not be just an advertisement."

Thank you, Thanonchai :-)

The French did it again

YUHUUUUUU! I've been sewing again and boy does it feel good. I'm so tempted to just be a hermit and stay at home and sew all day and all night long.

Made this dress of little florals-- the fabric was purchased sometime last year, washed and was kept in my fabric corner, waiting for the right project to come along. I call this dress The Missus because this CNY I had to hand out angpows instead of receiving them, boohoohoo.. I suppose I might as well wear a dress worthy of handing out angpows like a married woman then. Hehehh.



Today we went out to the shops to look for a French curve ruler. I had no idea this ruler was useful in sewing until I read about it on Burdastyle. I want to draft my own basic slopers coz I'm kinda tired of taking in sides just to fit my tiny bust. SHEESH!
