3D brainless me.

I have a confession to make. Its not a sin. But its a fault for me. I have several phobias. Name it. Acerophobia (sourness). Coulrophobia (clowns). My mum once bought a photo album with clowns on the cover. I vomited that instance. Seriously.

Another phobia i have which many people do not know. Fear of doing hands-on work. Possible reason might be the 3D brainless me has difficulty in handling hands-on work. Hands-on work here means making a box out of a big piece of cardboard. Cutting something using a pen-knife. Measuring a straight line. Make things out of Manila Cards. That is the reason i have never volunteered and luckily not assigned in the art team since young. Trust me. I am really clumsy in this.

"Lucky" for me today, my supervisor ordered me to make a signage (triangular stand) out of cardboards. Not a signage. Its 10. Gosh. I have nowhere to escape. I could not possibly tell my supervisor I have difficulties in doing these. For many, its easy as pie. For me, its like placing my lower lip over my head.After 1 hour of figuring out the triangle shape, cutting the cardboard into shape, measuring and cutting with a pen knife, i got 8 good ones and 2 rotten ones. I spent another 15 minutes repairing the 2 rotten ones.

Phew..My supervisor took them without grumbling. A little praises though.Maybe I have had some improvements in this. But I still am, 3D brainless.
