I had such a wonderful time yesterday, surrounding by an awesome people at LittleSyam Book Binding Workshop 14 at Re-Store, Publika Solaris Dutamas. what they have in common? all of them are left handed:) Total of 9 students attended the workshop, 3 for morning and 6 for afternoon. Some start with hiccup here and there and some have better understanding than the others. Some still confuse:P Adlin & Adlina, the twin   With Vivian, an editor from Going Places With Lee Ann It was interesting to observe on how each of them react towards the same lesson. YES we had so much fun laughing loud, mixture of colorful characters. I had 4 designers (Leena, Zee, Lee Ann & Driv), an editor (Vivian), scientist (Adlin) that bring along her twin (Adlina) and husband (Zaidan), and 13 years old girl (Lily). Thanks for joining the workshop, you all so awesome:) The Re-Store are amazing, better take many photos:)   Tara kucha Thanks to Rom, from Re-store , that

Hello all. It was such a wonderful day for me, small little things that make me very happy. Got an opportunity to do a small prop for a TV commercial; a doll, I used to do prop; a leather handbook for them long time ago, now they call me again.  Time is pretty tight for production but it going to be such a wonderful experience. Received an email from a magazine to feature my book binding workshop for their April issue yeaaayyyy:)  Another order from California for Our Adventure book ready for production and to be delivered next week too. I am looking forwards for a Wonder Women Day end of month. I will participate in their charity bazaar at Zouk KL on 31st March. So be there:) Shop while contribute for a good caused. Me, Lina, Gigi & Emi going to be there. Yesss it was such a happy day to me... Syukur //syam

Went through old portfolio, looking back it was such an amazing experience that I've survived corporate world. I am glad I had opportunity to try out various jobs from advertising agency, theme park, corporate & government. I missed friends I left and the breath taking view looking down KLCC Park from 70th floor, PETRONAS Twins Tower... but that's about it. I left without any regret, corporate world just a stop in my life journey. I am glad I've been there but I am belongs to where I am now:) This brochure was designed conjunction with the  MLNG 25th Anniversary of 1st Cargo in  Japan. Working with Beatrice Lye , the copywriter was such a wonderful experience, She writes beautiful things. The Title says: What Does It Take... What does it take to soar to greater height together? What does it take to comprehend what people want and need? What does it take to laugh and cry with each other? What does it take to foster lasting friendships? What does it take

Going to have an extremely busy week, with submission of few design jobs. But having a workshop at the ending of week will become such the best peak for the week...    Happy Neighbourhood - Illustration Job I have not created anything lately but focusing on my priority...Have few things in mind all need to transfer into physical thing, which mean I have to spare time to do it, unfortunately...I dun have much:( I always mentioned to my student the design concept if you keep talking about it and never realize into physical form or visual is like a dream... ...Good to have a dream but if you keep dreaming it will never become a reality  but just simply an imagination. And it end up like nothing....LOL YES another busy week...I am hoping the best for everything..same to all of you, Have a great week:) //syam

I am glad all the mess was finally over:) I am enjoying the view before the new gate coming in next week Tuesday...Cut down loads of plant too.  good bye birdie:( Life is pretty busy at this moment with 2/3 major graphic job to finish....It's been a while since I making art & craft. I am looking forward for my book binding workshop at Publika next week. I have 3 students for morning slot and 7 students for afternoon. I am excited as always yeaaayyyyy:) Have a great Sunday you all:) ///syam

The sad truth is that there are some people who will only be there for you as long as you have something they need. When you no longer serve a purpose to them, they will leave. The good news is, if you tough it out, you’ll eventually weed these people out of your life and be left with some great people you can count on. We rarely lose friends and lovers, we just gradually figure out who our real ones are. So when people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you. It doesn’t mean they are bad people; it just means that their part in your story is over - marc&angel

Follow your passion. Stay true to yourself. Never follow someone else's path unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that.   Ellen DeGeneres

I am so nervous looking at their presentation until I forgot to capture some of the work. It takes me 4 days to digest, rewind back, strolling back at presentation day.As an overall, I am so proud of them, to look at the progress that they've made, squeezing time to finish up all the task.  Philip's work Ah Dou presentation   Ah Dou artwork   Fin's artwork I’ve learnt that two people can look at the exact same thing but absorb it differently. Same brief but different individual will approach it their own way. I hope they've  learnt to become more independent, be able to defend their design concept based on knowledge and research they had been through.  Dennis' artwork Deep in my heart I hope they all will do well, pass with flying color. The progress the made was so different from one to another. The most important thing is they had tried their very best, to push the ability beyond boundary.  My beloved students As a designer it

You have to know when to slow that train down and kind of just sit back and relax for a minute...

RM75 Freshly made.... latest silkscreen artwork on wooden based cutting mat, with clear acrylic varnish finishing. This 2 artworks available at my friend's shop at Omg! - Oh My Grocery, Handmade Zakka & Creative Hub in Poco Homemade Bangsar, OPENING SOON on 10.2.2012. RM55 House kind of mess at this moment with drilling and hacking on porch side...I hate renovation, but we do need fence and neat tiles for the porch. Mr hubby are contributing money, so I don't have much say on the outcome. We both are so individual, when he talks is when I should keep quite. Will give a bit of trust on his judgement, while I have so much things in my plate at this moment . So we will wait and see... Few plants has been thrown away and that make me a bit sad:( I reluctant to throw it because each of them have a soft spot in my heart and green always keep my creativity afloat. Siggghhh tutup sebelah mata:( I am excited too to see the final result from my Applied Desig

Latest book I've created.. I am so happy at last I managed to complete the task. These are made for a regular customer... that always order in big quantity from me for her personal use...Dato Noraini Ahmad:) Using the hand silkscreen print, this batch of books are one off design, you might find the same design, but not exactly similar, because the making of silkscreen and the ink used will be different from one artwork to another.  And this is what make it so special...Spontaneous unexpected result:) My craft journey kind of slow at this moment...I need to prioritize my time focusing on my graphic job that needs lots of thinking. But I will take a break in-between to run away from monotonous routine. Got few consignment order to send...And time to think of new products too. I am looking forwards for two upcoming workshops, wanna learn how I bind like above? 25 February   Little Syam Book Binding Workshop 14   (RE-store, Publika, Solaris Dutamas
