| | Pursuing a Dream. Ah. Finally I have a half decent internet connection so from now on I will be able to update my blog more often. The last month in Singapore has been particularly challenging for me. Upon coming home to Singapore, there were many options on the table as the Architectural industry is doing pretty well over here. However, upon much consideration, I have decided to take the plunge and go into my own business with two of my closest friends, Joshua and Joppa. We are starting a Jewellery making business and architectural support + design firm here in Singapore and we are doing it from scratch. Some people might ask what the hell does Jewellery have to do with Architecture? For starters, it has tons to do with architecture. It is about the process of casting metal, it is about the minute details. What we learn from jewellery can inform architecture, and what we learn from architecture can inform jewellery. It was a tough decision to make, as I am pushing aside the possibility of getting a stable job at a good architectural firm in order to make it on my own with my friends. Seriously, it would be fucking easy to just "eat soft rice" and get $3K a month at an archi firm, but sometimes you have to sacrifice certain things in order to pursue what you believe in. Of course, all this is just talk at the moment as we are still in the process of pitching to potential clients and setting up the studio/workshop. Whether it will actually work out only time will tell. I will be updating the progress of our little start up company in our company blogsite: www.xanga.com/starlightcustomsilver Meanwhile, here are some pictures from our new office/workshop in Starlight Road, Little India: Main entrance:
