One humble pie please
title is in reference to Pann's comment that "the best cruisine in the world is 'humble pie'". Cheese i know but it really makes sense. but on personal note, after attending the few seminars and discussions, most of them just sounds the same.
albeit it being repetitive, Tiger Translate Class Act is one good inspiring discussion. Could be the dark ambience of Night & Day Bar, or maybe the wittiness and dedicated advices dished out by the speakers, or even the free Tiger served.
Have to mention a particular dedicated act by Tomaz Goh. I merely went up to him, smiled, shook his hand and came up with some bad pick-up line"i like your work." and it led to us (Thomaz and the 6 of us who attended) to a post-discussion-consultation/discussion. am really impressed by his willingness to share his thoughts and advices to newbies like us; as we chatted for nearly one hour, on design career, studies, inspirations and the industry, while enduring a booze filled hungry stomach. Seriously not many designers would sit down for a good 15min to understand your problems, for designers are known for the short attention span. learning of his unlucky past experiences of companies closing down almost immediately after he joined them and the hiccups along the way only made his efforts even more admirable.
Of course a good turn deserves another, so i'll just do some tiny promotion on his behalf. not trying to be too hard-sell tho..
