I always have this kind of envy towards certain groups of people. Particularly groups of creative kids who are able to live their live on what they are passionate for. Arts and music. I feel like, oh why can’t I be one of them? Why can’t I hang out with the cool guys? Why am I alone here doing things I like?
I mean, among me and my close friends here in UTP, it seems that I’m the only guy who are into web+graphic design and stuff. Oh yeah luckily my roommate is also into this art stuff. But it is not enough. I need to find new friends. haha
I always have this kind of dream of having some kind of team/group, creative team or something like that. Just look at some local art group out there. ( Just because you think Facebook is the ‘one step ahead‘, don’t be too arrogant to browse through MySpace. There are a lot potential there.) Bunch of kids doing the things the love. Of course there are a lot of posers too. Selling crappy t-shirts just to be famous among the community. I know, I used to plan of having this clothing thing works with some of friends early this year. Not actually working though. The excuse? We are too far apart from each other. I’m here in UTP, the other guy in KL and the other one in..er JB? Failed. Those kids are cool though.
My local idol for now is art:tech from the famous 84cube. Just look at his Fotopages. I actually browsed all the way to his first post, just to see how fun his life is. And I love his artworks+doodles. Oh I’m so jealous. 84cube is a big name now. Been stalking them from the beginning. One of them, Nvrmndo, is (was?) a UTP student too. There is one team in UTP though, at least from what I know. Paperme. Cool guys with potential. Been watching one of the designer too - Melongray. And oh, the vocalist of the band is also one of the member.
See, this is kind of thing that I want. How fun is that to design a poster for a gig, a cover album for local indie band and stuff like that. Contribution to the creative community.
Recently there was Colourama. Organized by Bangkit and Weareenvy. A very brilliant event I must say. Go on, read more about the event. Looking at the photo in the Organiser post makes me envy so much. It must be so much fun to organize this kind of event - together with your friends - without the unnecessary pressure of birocracy or whatsoever (well, maybe there were some?)
Next is RANtAi Revelation. I’m going with Nazir later. Want to join? Girls only. Haha. Kidding. ok, not.
Now, we need something like this in UTP. Possible? There was one event last few weeks. Art fest or something like that. I went to take a look, but.. sorry to say, not that interesting. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to be an ass here. But we need something more lively - not only on the name. It wasn’t that ‘fest’ at all.
We need to gather, independent of any formal club in UTP, and do something cool.
*tiba-tiba rasa semangat nak tulis benda camni. haha

me too. I have this kind of dream since I was in high school but too bad bcoz most of my friends are not interested.
btw, art:tech also one of my idols. I’m a fan of his photowerk~

09 Nov 08 / #Eventho MMU ni nmpak cambest tapi bape kerat je yang sama spesis dengan aku.
Event2 malay club kebanyakannya bergantung pada 2-3 org designer je. So design lebih kurang serupa je style dia..
Maybe kat cyberjaya banyak kot.
