Omg, I wanted to kill myself after watching a clip on Jae.
How can anyone treat him like that! I wanted to cry when he said: " I came here to make ends meet..."
Don't get Jae and my Jay mixed up. Hahaha, Jay, please leave NY and move to Seattle to find Jae for me will you? AHahahaha, God, miss you and Ray so much. LOVELOVELOVE!

ARGH! Omg, I had it with the press. What's up with them and Raffles Design? It's like the editor in chief hates us.
I don't really think that I'm being sensitive but you guys can go dig up your urban news and take a look ( Sorry, can't remember when it was, around August? But at that time, I thought I was just being sensitive). The paper was introducing the various art schools in Singapore and they make the other schools sound like it's a pool filled with genius designers and Raffles? It's just a place where all the rich don't know where they want to spend their money and decided that the $70k school fees was the best choice.
Today, just finished with the Elle magazine and the Elle Award nominees were there. I'm glad to say that from designer of the year award, 2 were our alumni. One of our grads were also nominated for the best grad award, the other 2 were from NAFA and LaSalle respectively. I'm not saying that they don't deserve the praise, but I just want to understand why was the nominee from my school describe this way. Comments from the other 2 schools were like how great, poetic and well done their collection was, but the nominee for my school....:" Because this Hunan native's ambition is to make eco-aesthetic clothes that can save the world." It sounds like they were writing a superman comic. Why use the world because at the start of the sentence? Is that all her talent is worth?
I know how bad this industry works, our teachers are already preparing us with the fact that out of 100 grads, only 1 will ever become a designer. For me, design is not for your own pleasure, in fact, you will never get any, because ultimately, the crowd is the one buying your products, they are the ones you should please.
I don't want to put down the other schools, I just want to know why is our school receiving such reviews from the press. We are not brats who decided that sleeping a whole week is a waste of time and that $70k should be wasted for pleasure. Most of the time, we don't get sleep for a whole week just to finish up on our projects. We don't even have a decent holiday while other schools get a 3 months break. I don't understand why we are treated so unfairly.
I guess if this continues, I'm gonna move to some other place so that I have a say in my future the very least. I'm glad Ashley Isham moved away from Singapore, and don't talk crap because even his sister is from our school. Oh God, I'm so dying to move away!
