Indian tonight

Natalie has her friends over for dinner.
and pam is cooking indian food, I don't like indian food.
and it's vegetarian..
which makes it worse:|.
hahaha, the last experience of being a pesco pretty much scarred me.
Maybe it's the strong taste of herbs.
but it always makes me feel green in a way.
dinner is ready, wish me luck.
ugh.

Obstacles

Hello world,

yes i have been very disconnected with my blog. But today, today, i just felt like blogging:).
+ my brother always go " kimmy why don't you ever update your blog anymore?"
so here I am.
exams started 11 days ago and i have just completed my Fashion design exam finally.
what we had to do was:

• 30 designs for spring-summer (RTW) 2012 (with complete product variation)
  
• 60 technical drawing (Front+back)
• Brand image (price tag, packaging, target market, brand content, business card)
• 4 creative fabrics
• 4 strong point samples of your designs
• Cover
• 6 Total looks (Coloured)
• fabric proposition
• colour range along with personal colour names
• Preface for our collection
• Mood board
• Personal universe board
• Collection Plan stating fabrics and colour for each product(categorized)

I was one of the lucky ones because i actually got a theme that suited my overall style. which is apocalypse.
and my personal theme?
Drug addicts.
apocalypse is the main theme but we are suppose to develop our own theme that has to somehow link to the main theme that was given so I decided to experiment with drug addict lifestyle and emotions.
Perhaps it's an unusual theme to pick, but overall i thought it was interesting theme to work with.
For the mini collection that i designed for my exam, most of my designs has silhouettes that are straight.
however, as for my dresses, i wanted to do the opposite which is fitted.
I have overall more tops then everything else.
cause we were told to think logically when distributing out designs equally to each products.
I had Tops, skirts, trousers, shorts, outer wear (which i love), dresses & shorts.
I made more tops cause personally i have more tops then everything else in my closet, then comes the trousers, outer wear, dresses and skirt.
The rules of the exam is that we're suppose to bring everything on the first day( Fabrics, sewing machine, stationary, papers etc') and nothing more after that.
however,
sneaky as I am, i did anyways.
and so did 90% of the students.
HAHA
my whole wardrobe for this week has been paired with jackets and loose jumpers.
so you can imagine
. i actually felt like i was smuggling drugs into the classroom or shop lifting.
heh.
Well what do you expect,
we had a lot of shit to do in just 4 days.
use to be 5 days...........
so basically I spent late nights trying to finish what i brought home with me.

(this is just the front, 30 more for the back)
on wednesday night i spent my time doing technical drawings for the back of my products that kept me up till 2:30a.m and last night i was up till 4:30 a.m just working on my total looks and had to get up at 6:30 to get ready to go for my exams.
As expected, i felt like absolute crap.
Life of fashion design student = endless nights of late nights (even if you started an assignment early)


Mood board that I put together, where I get my inspiration from.


one of my creative fabrics, prints inspired by broken concrete


I decided to name my brand Kristine Kim because first of all i couldn't be bothered thinking of a brand name, second, reminds me of the brand that my dad started.
I have my pattern drafting test on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday.
4 more days of exams and exams are over however, i expect that i have to stay back for remedial due the fact that I'm probably going to fail my CAD PD (computer aided design for pattern drafting) and my marketing cause we had to do costings for 50 products & write 3 essays in just 3 hours
. and i had no time to finish up my costing.
no one ever did, seriously.
asshole marketing lecturer.
which intervenes with the schedule that my family will be in Singapore i really want to go:(
so while they're in Singapore I'll be in Jakarta waiting for my shitty ass remedial paper to come.
one of the reasons why i want to go there is because i heard Singapore has a doc marten's shop and i really REALLY want a pair with absolute passion, my sister and my niece is going to be there, i haven't been back in Singapore since 2008.

I also can't wait to get back to KK.
Where I'll see Richard and my family and get all the KK food i want.
my gut is practically screaming for some pork crackling noodle soup and hilltop dim sum.
I have also been broke, cause only one of my sister sent me money this month cause it went all towards transport, fabrics, and things to prepare for my exams.
I don't want to borrow from my cousin for any so yeah, cause she's probably going to nag at me.
so i borrowed from one of my good friend instead to buy stuff for my PD exam. minus the nagging.

i just hope they send me the money soon or else I'm probably going to have to starve myself for the 4 days left.
I'm not looking forward to my PD exam cause i forgot how to create the construction for a tailor collar which i couldn't take my notes cause it was in my file that is locked in my lecturer's cupboard.



what am i going to do now?

broke and clueless, what a perfect combination.
Fml.
