During the Christmas break, I decided to use my extra free time to dive into the NSI × Bluey proposal I mentioned earlier. I’ve been filled with excitement ever since I started researching—I couldn’t stop once I began! I’m currently putting together a PowerPoint presentation to better pitch the idea to NSI. The presentation includes an introduction to Bluey, details about the character Rusty, an outline of the benefits this collaboration could bring to NSI, potential advantages for Bluey, future development opportunities, and actionable next steps.
What excites me the most is finally having the time and space to explore and develop this idea. However, as I worked on this project, some doubts crept into my mind. After all, I’m just an intern, and there’s no certainty that my relationship with NSI will continue beyond my DPS year. This proposal hasn’t been discussed or endorsed yet, and it might not even qualify as my Self-Initiated Project (SIP). So, is this effort a waste of my time? Is it worth sacrificing my holiday downtime for something that might not materialise?
For me, the answer is simple: ownership. Right now, I’m part of NSI, and I want to contribute as much as I can during my time here. Whether or not this proposal is approved or whether I continue with NSI in the future, I want to leave something meaningful behind—something that might benefit the organisation, even in a small way. This sense of ownership and commitment to my role is something I feel deeply proud of.
Furthermore, at my core, I’m a creator. Whether it’s directly linked to art or not, I am driven by the act of creation. For me, inspiration is the purest form of vitality, and there’s nothing more exhilarating than having an idea and watching it take shape. Creativity fuels me, and I’ve realised that it’s not just about the result—it’s about the process. That sense of purpose, of bringing something to life, is what excites me most.
Creation! Creation! No matter where I am, it always feels electrifying. I can’t resist.
