For those of you who have no idea what the design camp is for: Puma organise a design camp every year, inviting designers(my colleagues) from different offices around the globe to attend a 3 days workshop. It is intense, but is always good to see everybody and be able to talk and find out what everyone is doing, at the same time we do some brain storming session to define the direction for the next season.
Hussein Chalayan is our creative director since 2008, and for those of you who don't know, i'm a fan of his work. I missed the opportunity to talk to him last year, and i complaint about it for the next three months(according to someone), so i decided i have to do it this year no matter what. I walked up to him after the presentation, introduce myself, told him how much i admire his work and what an great inspiration he is to me. I'm glad i didn't chicken out, and that-made my day.
(PS-he was super nice and super humble)

happy anniversary
This is a backdated post.
We celebrated our 8th anniversary this June in Bodensee. I was amazed at myself how i manage to 'stick' with this Man for the past 8 years.
Why? because we have very little in common, he likes modern architecture, i like period buildings. He likes rock and roll band, i like....everything, he will flip if i turn on for example french oldies, or classical music. He likes to eat burger and sandwiches, i hate both of them, can't stand them. He supports McLaren and Liverpool, i support Ferrari and Man.Utd. He likes Coffee, i like tea. He hates to travel, i love to travel just anywhere. I like rice, he prefers bread. I like dogs, he is afraid of dogs. I prefer wine to his beer. I don't like to go into electrical shop, but it is his happy land. I love reading books, he prefers TV. I like to clean up on a Sunday, and he likes to go to car showroom. I hate his impatience, he thinks i'm undecisive.
See what i mean?
Nevertheless, we did stay with each other through ups and downs for the past 8 years. Although i sometimes feel like i want to twist his head, or kick his balls, (i'm pretty sure he feels the same, he did mentioned he would like to kick my ovari), i do love him more than anything. After all, there is no perfect relationship, no perfect couple. We are both grateful that we are able to share our life experience together, and we manage not to kill each other during the last 8 years, and hopefully not in the future too, this is quite an achievement, don't you think?
You are loving, supportive, thoughtful, kind, considerate, tolerate,.......although i have never told you that. You said on the phone today that i'm not your girlfriend anymore, because im more than that, well, that. was very sweet. I hope we do have many more anniversaries to come, and You, You just make me so happy(at times), and i hope you feel the same.
Happy Anniversary
(PS-No, we are not getting married, pls stop asking) :)

My Birthday Present
I wasn't very happy at the beginning of July. This was exactly the same as last year, i suddenly have this huge workload that i find it hard to cope, i told myself last year that i want to have a different birthday this year, to pampered myself on my birthday-massages, having my nails done, spa, whatever, just not working, but of course it didn't happen, or else i wouldn't be here complaining. Disappointed, but I'm still hopeful for next year.
So, i spent my Tuesday evening(13/7) catching up with a old friend who now lives and work in India, then i spent my first hour of my birthday reading crap magazines-HEAT. It is crap, but i enjoyed it very much! Dad was the first to call, it was way too early, but it means a lot to me.
Anyway, getting back to my present.
What did i get from colleagues?
Yea, money, cash. It was a very sweet idea. They knew I'm fanatic when it comes to flea market, they even have a flyer which has all the dates and address for all the flea markets in Nuremberg. How sweet, it couldn't be better. Isn't it cute?
HE was nice enough to take 2 days off work and flew down here on my birthday, this is what i got from HIM. It is much better than IKEA voucher(what i got last year), and no I'm not complaining about the vouchers, there were practical like him, but yea, voucher.
HE said: i don't want you to give up your dreams, this is to remind you.
That was sweet of HIM.
