The Legend of Bruce lee
Although
freelancers today are normally associated with designers,
writers, programmers, photographers or illustrators; a
few centuries ago the word FREELANCER had a whole other
meaning. Back then mercenary knights and assasins were
soldiers for hire. Named for their special services for
killing and protecting. They carried a pole and a freedom
they had in whom they fight for. Though a lance is no
longer required, today freelancer does share
one thing in common with those knights that is the freedom
to choose.
It
is a freedom to be your own boss. To select what you want
to do and to be able to execute your work in your own
style and timing. This is what draws so many people to
a career of freelancing. As one freelancer
to the other, i wish you all for the best
of luck in your career and search.

Well
here we are again, the start of another calender year,
a time for both reflection and for future gazing. This
is the time I come up with 'the Plan' for the year ahead
in Paper People. It has been a really useful exercise
something I encourage everyone to do, if you don't do
so already. Its nothing revolutionary just laying out
goals and ideas; personally, professionally and of course
financially, taking stock and setting an agenda of sorts
for the upcoming year.
Most
of it is pretty basic but its good to put it down on your
Paper People Organizer too not just to have a mindful
of scrambled unfocused thoughts. A good dose of the healthy
helpy-selfy. I have found it to be most useful both looking
forward and looking back at the previous years objectives.
Of course its nothing rigid; I am flexible and open to
ever changing patterns as is evident in recent happenings
but if you are honest with yourself and what may and may
not be attainable it can help manage and achieve the dreams
and realities that you ever wished for.
This years plan is yet to be written; maybe because I
have spent so much time at the keyboard over the last
few months working on the my blog http://www.myspace.com/papeogallery
and needed to take a break from the typing to see where
all this has led and where it may be going. There isn't
much changes as compare to this Paper People website but
i've included some personal photos there.I have to say
to those of you who haven't yet jumped in and got your
own up and going, it requires a lot of time and work especially
if you are a daily home contributor you know what i mean.
Job! To be honest a lot of time that should perhaps be
spent on new designs are exploited on the blog. A thousand
apologies to my loyal friends and customer. I have posted
some of the new designs here, there are a total of 30
new designs but i listed 8 here to show you all that i'm
not bullsh*tting. At least there's proof mah! So here
we are back to rambling, time to work on some more of
my own specifics for the year ahead.
Don't worry I won't be sharing all the hopes, dreams and
indeed realities in our website but we are back and open
for business so hang on, here's hoping its a wild and
exciting ride ! Be Prepared for more "terror"
designs coming in your way!

Does it really matter? Most of us feel that products which
are imported from other countries are of higher quality
and more prestigious than the ones our locals have painstakingly
produce themselves. Before I begin, let me inform you that
I am not trying to brainwash you into boycotting imported
brands nor am I trying to contravene the government vision
in getting more foreign talents to work here in Singapore.
It is already demonstrated here via the escapee Mas Selamat.
The complacency and self negligence has smeared the brand
name for the security system of Singapore. Are we to blame?
Well some might say that our government is not doing their
best from this episode. For whatever reason it might be,
I feel that we have been too dependent on the government
protection. For us, life just goes on and tra-la-la.
Take
for instance our fascination & blind mimic of our favourite
Hollywood celebrities in their latest fashion gear. If it
is expensive, we will find ourselves a good excuse and buy
them. Be it a necklace, a bag or a silly little hanky that
cost nearly a thousand bucks. I called it self indulgence.
This instant gratification is only instantaneous. But what
about our local talents? Who will they rely on if not for
their own people to believe them? Where would entrepreneurship
be for the future of Singapore? We see the food industries
in Singapore boom at an exponential rate but is it really
enough for us to categories our own talents to a higher
level and be identified on the large scale or of an international
market? It is very alarming! Do we all need to learn how
to cook and do nice authentic dishes to be an entrepeneur?
What
I feel that most of us are unaware of the lack of support
for our local products. We are still unaware of the consequences
that will affect our own economy and future talents. There
are a extensive range of products to cater to almost all
occasion from fashion to furniture, stationeries to beauty
products and music but yet our consumerism is driven by
the ravenousness of the media coverage. The local talent
here has progressed towards the next level that they deserved
a shot for wider exposure. They really do. But when comes
to a topic on whether they could earn a living like those
international company or brands, that somewhat deterred
people who have so much talent in design but unable to make
use of their interest for life. They end up working for
somebody else instead. Will they ever be appreciated? Working
long hours without a break or far more worst, no overtime
pay. It all depend on luck.
Only
those who have the financial capability to fund their businesses
will be able to start living a life better as an entrepeneur
and are able to earn lots and gain tremendous exposure from
their wealthy family background. These people are not entrepeneurs.
And if they happened to be successful, then they will become
the worst of human on earth. It is time for us to reflect
what we have done over the years that we overlooked our
local scene and talent.They are far off more better and
talented than the foreign ones and it should be something
to be proud about. Represent!::

What
happen when designer get bored?
Paper
People products are conceptualized and manufactured
with pride in Singapore. We differentiate our products
from generic stationery by infusing different elements
that inspire us (street art, couture fashion, graphic
design) translate them into our design. Paper People
integrates functionality with aesthetic appeal. We
hope to inspire our users to explore their creativity
and break away from "paper boredom". Paper
People designed products are not just product but
reflection of our culture.
Here
at Paper People, we divide ourselves from the mundane
A5 notebooks that we have all been forced to purchase
from our local stationery stores. What differentiates
our product is the way we infuse our hard or soft
cover notebooks with different element designs that
inspire us. Trends of street to the avant-garde couture.
These covers tend to elicit a love ‘em or hate
‘em’ response. And unlike other expensive
brands or imported notebooks, Paper People products
are affordable yet it quality has not been compromised.

What
do you get when you integrate a skateshop shop into
a stationary boutique ? Well a totally out of the world
concept. A lot of people have been telling me that skate
stuff and books don't mix. The point of collaborating
this 2 elements together is to work out something different.
I understand that these skaters have always been portrayed
as scum, vandals and menace to society. errmm... not
for Boards & Stuff or in short, BNS. The owner;
Zeeshaun Sheikh has taken this sport onto the next level.
From "Go Skate Day" to DDC or Deck Design
Competiton in conjunction of promoting a healthy lifestyle.
