One day, I saw the making of Michael Crichton’s Sphere (starring
Sharon Stone and Samuel L. Jackson, if I’m not mistaken). It was a bad
movie by the way, but I was drawn into the visual effects (CG) animation
process. And decided that I’d like to do that. So I dropped my grade-A
entry that I got at Binus and decided to go for design school at Untar
instead, following my sister’s footsteps, and against my parents’
approval. Not knowing that it (CG) actually has everything to do with
computers (and programming) – the result of lack of information, silly
me.
By then, my sister was already a freshman in design school, with all the endless late nights-consuming art projects – things that my mother doubted I could do. Originally, (my sister) wanted to take fashion design – she was a true fashionista ever since she was a kid. But she decided otherwise because (fashion design) school was just so goddamn expensive. While I had been the star-student in the family – the good girl cum geeky nerd, she had always been the artist in the family – rebellious but gifted with such true talent.
