…since my last post on this Blog 🙁 Another busy weeks, I guess. But I try my best not to abandon this Blog 😉

This 3 weeks, I’ve been writing and making a software prototype for my master thesis. Strangely, my right brain is dying because of too much scientific and thesis work 😯 I become less creative and hardly done any designs or sketches.

Lucky that I have a very good book to work out my right brain 🙂 It’s The Creative License: Giving Yourself Permission To Be The Artist You Truly Are, by Danny gregory.  My wife bought this book from Kinokuniya Singapore 7 months ago but I start reading this book since the early of this month, when I was having 4 days vacation in Netherlands.

The book is very colorful with a very artistic layout. You get a lot of exercises to draw things. I am still practicing the 3rd exercise. The first excercise is to sketch a mug using a pen but you’re not allowed to look at your paper until it’s done. You have to stare at the mug and stay relax. Your eyes slowly trace the mug’s shape while your pen forms the line on the paper. It’s eye and pen coordination. Actually, you train to shut up your left brain and by tracing the mug very slowly, you brain get relax and that’s how you activate your right brain.

It really works! Well, at least it helps me to get my brain balanced :-p
