Sauron, I have but no place for you in my room.

You're just too big a model.

But I'm not throwing you away just yet.

13 days now.

It took 13 days for me to succumb. To really feel it man.

I miss you, alot. I'm kinda wishing (hard) that you're here right now.

But then again, 15 days left.

Can.

i met you before, once in a dream

$65,1450-$100,701 per year. About $5k-$10k a month. Man that's still lower than a footballer's pay!

is a person trained by a human spaceflight program to command, pilot, or serve as a crew member of a spacecraft. In the United States, professional, military and commercial .. who travel above an altitude of 80km are awarded ASTRONAUT WINGS.

I wonder if they taste any better than buffalo wings.

When am I going to pick myself up, go to Straits Co., buy that large piece of A1 and do my Europe trip drawing?

Timetable just came out. OK it came out a while ago but I just checked it. A few new modules like Alternative Drawing and something something else. Professional practise is it? Can't remember. So not looking forward to that. Oh and there's also Landscape Drawing. TA-DA! After like a month and a half finally LOL. Not that we haven't done any.

A few changes. Mr Lim will be teaching us (FA2C) alternative drawing, Zhang BC will take landscape drawing and Terence will take us for Digital and Time-based Media. Fuck right? Terence is much unliked. But looking forward to Mr Lim's class.

silent night. holy night.

nervous gundark

Well here I am. At home on a Sunday. Alone. But that's cause I was over at Sam's yesterday watching soccer. If I knew one thing that was for sure, the weekend is the time for soccer. And getting wasted staying up all night at whoever's house. I so did not expect coming home to an empty house but that's fine. Cause Sunday is slack day. Sunday itself is every single reason out there to take a break and relax. Sunday is awesome. Barney much?

So this year I am not spending Christmas with Jules. She's going to have this awesome frosty Christmas with her family over in Holland! She needs this I know. For like two weeks before assessment she was this nervous train wreck. Just like every other assessment. Hah. She'll be there for a month, so it's not only Christmas it's also New Year's and Ian's birthday. But the last one isn't that important. Hah I'm kidding Ian (if you happen to read this but I know you don't)

Also I haven't done any drawings. Cause I was thinking, break from art school right? So why'd you have to draw even in the holidays.

Cause I need to =\

Which reminds me. I haven't gotten round to starting, let alone finishing, the drawing for the Europe trip exhibition for next year. I am so screwed because I changed my initial idea. And if possible, I wanna do it A1 or A0. Haha awesome right. How the hell am I going to get that framed?

I didn't know why I blogged today. Usually it's about some drawing or stuff like that. Do I only live for school now. I don't know.

If I live, I will kill you.

If I die, you are forgiven.

ninjas can't catch you if you're on fire

Man these holidays. Apart from being a long well deserved break, it's actually kinda boring.

I've never worked a day in my life before. Maybe I should go and work.

But why work?

Isn't there anything else to do?

Thank you for all the birthday wishes.

That morning I woke up and I looked at my phone, Leslie asked me out for breakfast. Says he wants to treat. But I couldn't get up so early so we had lunch instead. Thanks man. It's been finally 10 years knowing you, cause I've known you half my life, since primary school.

After that I pretty much did nothing at home.

We had dinner at the glass house fish n co. Yes I know what happens when you have birthdays there. But the cake. Hahaha walao. They got me a spiderman cake. Thanks guys.

So this year's celebration wasn't that bad after all.

unbelievable

Shit day today.

Went to school early, but..

Lost my wallet, got it back (someone returned it, good) but no money inside.

Backtracked..wasted time

Lost $50 just like that.

And I need a Mac. Yes a Mac not a laptop because virus control is KEY.

Without a MAC, I will forever always be using the laggy computer to do my essay and digital artstuffs. But no lui how to buy?

Every time I save money it somehow manages to fly away~

Like today. Sian. Either I have to buy this or that for school. Or it just flies away.

Shouldn't have worn this pair of jeans today. Lost my money because of it.

i am not rocking man

ungrapsable

Oh yeah we started on nude drawings like a week ago.

come to terms

Finally I have come to understand.

However, to not succumb under the circumstances, is to yet follow another set of societies.

So to prevent the following discussions with other enthusiasts, being a hippy is a good thing to do.

Why bother, when we can wait and enjoy?

Then again, we need sustenance. Conformity is the way. But that doesn't mean we have to conform a 100%.

We were born into conformity, sadly. But don't be emo. Be Buddha.

he doesn't look anything like that. that's his bang kai form.

a tree

Because we give meaning to the world. Without us, without meaning, there is no world. This is semiotics. Semiotics means, a tree is a tree because we say it is a tree. And how is it reinforced? Simple. It's cause 90% of the people agree they want to call this a tree.

urgh! essay

...What makes the ideal of commodity fetishism persist and encourage its growth is mass culture. Elites rule the society through the means of leadership and persuasion and not force and bold power as these might bring about resistance. This control over society is commonly referred to as hegemony. The social elites of the capitalist society, namely the capitalists themselves and industrialists, impose and promote ideals that play towards the capitalist movement. These ideals control the thinking of the society and lower classes and influence them. They are usually nothing more than just ideals brought up by the dominant class and are usually ideals of material expression. So that these ideals stick to the society, they represent a common universal interest to all members to the society. They are also represented as the only valid and rational ones. Thus, the people are controlled because they buy into these ideals and have come to take them for granted. As such, they do not question them.

An example of hegemony is employment. While people can primitively live off the land - hunting, gathering and living only on necessities such as food, shelter and water, this is not the case. People work for quite a number of erstwhile luxuries that have been taken for necessities. The idea of employment is hegemonistic because not only do people fail to question it, they actively seek it out. This plays into the hands of the capitalists, who want a source of willing labour. Therefore, mass culture is the culture of the dominant ideals set by the elites of the society for commercial purposes...

busy busy busy

I'm busy busy super busy. Things are starting to get hectic. And the nights are getting later. Should I slack abit, go about at my own pace, knowing that I will eventually finish everything on time? Or should I chiong and finish, and eventually have free time to do EXTRA work, or finish with a lot of spare time? (but burn myself out eventually)

Health's starting to not feel good. Been coughing and having muscle strains (not cramps, thats feminine) rushing here and there for time, waking up later, stressing about the quality of work.

When you just don't know what is expected of you at the table, and you have no idea what others are bringing to the table, you just don't know what to do right. Like should you reprint that edition that you don't like, or go and touch up that statue of David drawing because you feel slightly insecure.

But why am I thinking so competitively. Why can't I just do art for art's sake and learn it naturally and not train ahead?

For grades.

The world is commodified and competitive. In school it's about grades. That's the underlying death.
