Drawings during Meetings

I found something very interesting will doing some cleaning up today. Which is my diary/organiser from my previous work place. Back in 2008, I got promoted to the a higher position which required me to lead the department, planning, budget, head count. The strange thing is I really fought very hard since 2005 to achieve this position but unfortunately, it came to me at the wrong time. (the arrival of my daughter, Nicholle) I was carrying her when they offered me this job. I was very lost then. I want the money but not the job! Then I gave myself a challenge and took the job and hoping that I will learn more from the job.

Unfortunately, soon after I return from my confinement, I felt like resigning as I really want to be there with my kids (Nicholle, and Nicholas (my son, 6yrs old).
But I wasn't sure, and I hang on for 1 year. (salute myself now that I survived in a condition which I'm not happy with for so long!!) And then I RESIGNED as I felt I cant stay any longer, falling sick almost every month. And of cause I need to go back to where I come from, which is back to the art and design world, which is in my blood.

Attached are some drawings I did during those stressful/creative meetings.

Drawing during and 'Operation Meeting' where we talk about Human Capital Strategies, Submissions, Strategic Plan, BUDGET and etc.


I must be missing my children very much. Thinking of ways to get closer to them.


Drawing during a 'Graffiti Art' meeting, which is in line with what I like. (free strokes, lots of exploration/creativity in progress)


I cant remember what meeting is this but obviously it is a very stressful one.

Beautiful Junk is an art event, Boxie is a character designed by one of our local designer http://urbancr3atures.blogspot.com/ who inspired me alot.


Reflection: Drawings can reveal feelings, influences and interests - the artist's inner emotional state.
(I guess it is not only drawing but my handwriting as well!!)
*I'm now happily working as a part time educator in art/design and I get to spend LOTS of time with my children.

More reflections DAP1 & 2

What I'm about to write here is personal and I don't mind sharing all these with my fellow group members as I thought this is a learning process and whatever that suppose to be out must be out. Out from my chest and hoping that this assignment will actually open up my eyes.

By the time we (Melinda & I) completed both the DAP session, I realized that there are actually patterns in my answers.
Key words such as:
WAITING
MISCOMMUNICATION
HELPING PEOPLE
CALM & HAPPY
LOVE


Metaphors such as:
BEAUTIFUL FACE: image/identity/status
BREAST: nurturing/mother
(I'm not so sure about this, correct me if I'm wrong)

Thoughts that I can to relate to both DAP drawing.
DAP1 About Grandma - My loving grandmother, I miss you alot
Obviously grandma miss all of us and awaiting for our arrival (waiting). She is always happy to see (happy face)us and will always provide us her motherly care (dominant breast) which I miss so much such as her cooking (very delicious although it is vegetarian), 'spiritual talk', folk tales, herbal, parenting and many more (love)(helping people). She do share with me her emotional part as well whenever Im with her such as the gossip and little arguements among her children (miscomunication).

DAP2 About Husband - My love, My inspirations
Stanley, my husband would pick me up from work when ever he is in Penang (waiting). He is always happy to see me after work (love). In relation to his work, he shared his knowledge on self enrichment with me (helping people). He is always looking for a better communication/relationship between us and also everyone around us (miscommunication).


I miss grandma so much and I will be back to Kuching end of the year to pay her a visit. Im abit worry about her, with all her thoughts in her mind and I know there is nothing much that I can do but listen. Been telling me the same story over and over again everytime I called her up.

I miss Stanley alot as well, the nature of his work requires him to travel frequently. Im waiting for his return as well.(jus like how grandma and Stanley waited). Im always looking for open communication and believe that better communication is very important in any relationship.
