Hi i'm jiro. A student. a designer. a christian. What’s my portfolio for? It’s strange how a simple question can create such a huge stir in my heart. I met up with a junior of mine today and during the simple lunch conversation we had he popped a question. He asked me what my plans were for the future. And I didn’t really know what I was going to reply. Sure I had plans, but what are my portfolios for? Do I really want to be a freelance designer for life? And what am I going to do after university? First...

[Review] OS X Mavericks in 5min: The Imperceptible Experience | hi i'm jiro.
https://jiromaiya.wordpress.com/2013/10/24/review-os-x-mavericks-in-5min-the-imperceptible-experience
Hi i'm jiro. A student. a designer. a christian. Review] OS X Mavericks in 5min: The Imperceptible Experience. Apple likes to throw buzz words these days, from “chamfered edges”, “experience”, and yadayada. And for the latest iteration of Apple’s “World’s Most Advanced Operating System” (yeah another one), I just installed OS X Mavericks yesterday. Let me give you some info about my experience using this spanking new OS. Or is it? Installing took around 20 minutes on my late 2011 MBP with SSD, so timing ...

The Singtel Surprise | hi i'm jiro.
https://jiromaiya.wordpress.com/2011/12/13/the-singtel-surprise
Hi i'm jiro. A student. a designer. a christian. It’s the 2nd bill I’ve been receiving from Singtel, and it keeps giving me surprises. I signed up for the iFlexi Lite plan for the iPhone 4S and received S$69 for my latest bill. My plan was just $39. So why did I get charged so high? My data usage was 14.054GB, which I already knew. I thought Singtel was going to charge me excess of 2.045GB, which amounts to $5plus. Or so I thought. But I guess my math was really bad. I mistook 1GB for 1MB. Just be carefu...

2013: A Year in Review | hi i'm jiro.
https://jiromaiya.wordpress.com/2013/12/31/2013-a-year-in-review
Hi i'm jiro. A student. a designer. a christian. 2013: A Year in Review. I have grown used to going to Sinyi Church in Hsinchu,. I have grown used to being beside a very close friend who accompanied me almost everywhere, I have grown used to taking the pink bus for free from Chianchung Road to NCTU. I have grown used to grabbing a helmet and propping myself to the back a motorcycle and off I go to many many places, as if I have always done it like that. And those other things that are so unassuming went ...

Liberated | hi i'm jiro.
https://jiromaiya.wordpress.com/2013/08/11/liberated
Hi i'm jiro. A student. a designer. a christian. I have just come back from a YAYP camp in Johor and this is by far the camp that has impacted me the most in recent years. What I wrote in the YAYP wall after the camp was a summary of my experiences. I’m happy I actually made new friends at the retreat. So in a way that passing thot of ‘maybe I can get to know more people’ really came to pass! There were so many moments I can remember and reflect on thru out this retreat. I may do design. I may not...

My Blessed Busyness | hi i'm jiro.
https://jiromaiya.wordpress.com/2013/09/18/my-blessed-busyness
Hi i'm jiro. A student. a designer. a christian. But thinking back I knew that person’s comments made no sense to me. Because life isn’t about choices, life is about making the fullest out of your choices. And sometimes life doesn’t give you much of a choice. But this sem I am busy with the magazine I used to read during my NS days, fantasizing of the times I would be in WKWSCI. For the first time I am actually revamping the entire magazine in time for its fitting 10th anniversary. But this sem I am busy...

The Art without an Artist | hi i'm jiro.
https://jiromaiya.wordpress.com/2013/12/16/the-art-without-an-artist
Hi i'm jiro. A student. a designer. a christian. The Art without an Artist. I’ve just watched Frozen and thruout the entire movie there were beautiful snowflakes, and I couldn’t help but remember this article. It doesn’t talk about God or Science (although the commenter would, obviously). It just displays photographs of snowflakes seen through macros. There are always limits to whatever we do. In fact people will only doubt if it looks too good to be true. We doubted Kyle Lambert when he painted Morg...
