Hi there! Welcome to my site… My name is Yin Teing and I am from |
|
|
I was terribly stressed doing that
time. We had to sit for one of the hardest government exams (STPM) that will
determine if we are to make it to the local universities or not. And during
my time, if you do not achieve reasonably good grades (benchmarked according
to the performance of students in the entire country), you would have wasted two
years of your life for nothing. It was a real trying time because I really
hate to study for examinations. Yes, I am a bookworm but only read books on
areas that I like such as New Age, business, PC and craft. Study for exams?
No way! It is a sure way to eliminate any interest I have on the
subject. Then out of the blue, amidst
the pressure that I felt was caving in on me, I found my mind started
churning out many creative craft ideas on its own. It was triggered when my
best friend showed me a couple of beautiful beaded hairclips. I also had my Maths teacher to thank- she wore beautiful hair combs and
hair clips from Evita Peroni.
It costs at least RM49.90 each. So my mind started to develop desire and
interest to make something similar. The ideas will twirl around my head the
whole day. At first I resisted them because I got lots of yucky books to
memorize. But the ideas persisted and kept on playing- it will only shut
itself off when I sit down and work on them. Maybe it was due to a subconscious
desperate attempt to escape from the pressure. For when I sat down and
concentrate on the designs, I get lost in my own world. I find that the craft
helped me to relax. Creativity has benefited me not
only in craft but in many situations in my life. I have learned to think out
of the box and search for alternative solutions. When there are limited
resources or help, it came to my aid to get my job done. For example, I love
to create website but have zero programming knowledge. I created this site
from adaptations of Microsoft word. No Dreamweaver
or Front page. If you set your creativity
free, it flows into other aspect of your life. Do not “imprison” it. Creativity can be a very
useful tool in your life too. Unfortunately, I am not in the position to
teach others how to develop it. There are many books out there in the market
that can guide you to tap into your creative side. Your mind is actually very
powerful and capable of much more than you give it credit for. Some people take up creative
hobbies part time because if they do it full time, it may kill off their
interest in the subject. I am one of them. Most items are made from my heart
and I gave them away to people that I cherish. Doing it for money will give
me a “creativity block”. But if you have lots of creative energy within you
and are seriously thinking to venture full time, do not jump in straight.
Start by doing part time first to see if it is suitable and at the same time
to built up your client base. Then take the plunge
only when you gain confidence and experience. Do you know in the world wide
web out there, there are many wonderful sites where creative people share
their creations, ideas and crafts with others- for free? This has greatly inspired me to learn about
creating a website and sharing it with others. As I have a lot of other
diversified interest from business and colours to
astrology, I have added these sections covering my area of interest. Over the years, I have
received a number of emails from people all over the world who have visited
my site. I am happy to know that the site
has helped and inspired others. Hopefully my site would be helpful in
providing information that you need to search for. I would be grateful if you
could share your feedback with me. I hope you will also be inspired to create
your own site… and share it with me. Best regards & take care, Yin Teing |
