Day 32, watery in the deep sea.
Woke up at 3.33am for meditation, enlightenment and inspiration. After that, I made breakfast and ate quietly by the door. 2 minutes later, my eyes wandered to the door's woody frame and rested upon the brown-painted crooked nail. *Blink* an inspiration!
The Pentium was a little grumpy due to lack of love. I gave it a little hug and started designing a newer version of the angpao - with brown paper, Pantone 812U and black. I wanted to show it to my cat but it's in hiding.

Sotonghoon CNY angpao ver.1
Day 30, slippery in the deep sea.
Trained the entire yesterday and the outcome was quite horrendous. I had 10 sore fingers, a headache and a pair of really tired eyes. However, I had a first hands-on experience with Adobe Illustrator CS today and roughly created the 1st Sotonghoon CNY angpao packet. Somehow, it's just not quite right yet. I showed the design to my cat and it vomited tuna.

The training begins
Day 29, cloudy in the deep sea.
The Adobe Illustrator CS was a piece of cake! I read everything in the e-book and just have to master these 5 steps to become a pro.
STEP 1: TRAIN FINGER MUSCLES
Pick 10,000 ripe cherries with wooden chopsticks. Duration: 10 hours.
STEP 2: BE VERY METICULOUS
Select perfect-looking grapes and make the best sparkling grape juice ever. Duration: 5 hours.
STEP 3: LEARN COLOURS
Create numerous rainbows and learn the colours. Duration: 5 hours.
STEP 4: FIND INSPIRATION
In order to obtain inspiration, one has to meditate under an apple tree. Duration: 3 hours.
STEP 5: PERSONALISE YOUR MOUSE
Every warrior has a weapon. It's the same as being a pro Illustrator. Select your favourite mouse and personalise it. Duration: 1 hour. [Note: Bling blings are nice but not entirely practical, try adding a layer of sponge to give it a comfortable grip]

Adobe Illustrator CS for dummies
Day 28, thunderstorm in the deep sea.
Today is bread day. I made my very own loaf of bread and my cat thinks it's okay. Feeling extremely pleased with myself, I went to town and tried to sell my recipe for some gold but somehow it didn't work well. Perhaps my marketing skill hasn't reach the expert level.
I was still pondering over the matter when suddenly my friend screamed. I hurried over to my secret hiding place when she yelled at me to stop moving and to go to her. There, she showed me the Pentium 2's inbox. I saw about 100 emails from Tidur-everyday, urging me to create the angpao packets!!! Without much thinking, I downloaded an e-book titled "Adobe Illustrator CS for dummies".
