The Uniqueness of Every Talent

"All Human joys are swift of wing, for heaven doth allot it;
That when you get an easy thing, you find you haven't got it..."

Phrases that I had written on one of my Calligraphy works when I was in my Secondary school days... Art lesson... I still keep it, together with some of my Art Works, which most of them have some yellowish spots on them... Those papers are not acid free, that's why...

And here is what I've found... those rummages... of all those kept works of mine... Back to once I was inspired to be a Fashion Designer... hence the creation of KatSigner, where Kat- is the prefix from my name, Kat-ie and -signer is the suffix from the word De-signer... A nick I've been using for the past 9 years (and still using now)... However, those works I used for an interview as my Portfolio 7 years back in a Fashion School was rejected, just because I fused too much of Art inside and they suggested me to enroll into a Fine Art School instead... Well, in the end I went back to my Biotechnology course solely 'cos of monetary issues...

Breezy Girl and The Deceptive Mask...

The Cellist...

Lady in Depiction...

In Deep Thoughts...

A couple of my designed Apparels sketches which I never submit for my review...

I was never taught how to draw and the ability to draw since age of 3 was inborn, but I wasn't fully exploited due to my ignorant family background... Hence, I can only pick up drawing lessons in Classes from my General Education (Primary and Secondary)... My natural inborn ability to draw creatively without much of great guidances always made me a favourite pet to all my Art Teachers... giving green eyes to others, and popularity to my classmates and Language Teachers... whom all of them think I'm talented to be an Artist when I grow up... And it never happened, I'm working in a Scientific Research Laboratory now!!! Ironically surprisingly... Just like the pair of flexible wrists and long fingers of mine thats meant for the violin, which most of my violin teachers keep talking about it all the time... But I was never a Violinist, just 'cos I didn't play the violin since young... Again, not an exploited one when young... Chosen by Nature, but never by Mankind... Well, pencils and brushes are sealed for now, I've not been drawing and designing with my creativity for long... Bow and strings are kept, as I've fired my previous irresponsible violin teacher and still sourcing for one...

It's nice to reminiscence the past but I'm also grateful for the talents and the natural abilities God has given to me... Out of all the billions of Human Beings, I'm the chosen one to have these unique talents that's specifically meant for me, despite they were never fully exploited... It's kind of sad, but I shouldn't let these to drive my Life so badly... That's what making the unique Me up!!! These are more than enough I feel... Every individual is given a specific area of talent(s) that's meant to be yours, it's just whether you're fully aware of it and be appreciative about it... I feel it shouldn't be judged by the human eyes...

I'm may not be a well known or budding Artist, Fashion Designer or Violinist now or in the Future (which I may never know), but I still love to draw creatively and play music on my Violin as a form of pleasure... It's a matter of time and effort which allow me to schedule them into my Life nicely in an enjoyable manner, which I'm always working hard to make this happen...
