I lost a lot of weight. I weigh about 52kg now. I used to be 56kg tops. 53-4ish is my average weight I guess. I could check if I am underweight but I forgot how to do the BMI thing. Oh wait, for all of life's answers, there is Google. Hold on.


Oh. It's 19.3

Anything below 18.5 is underweight. Anything above 25.0 is overweight so I guess I'm fine.


I think I'm not the only one who's thinking this but Digital and Time-based Media II sucks big time. I don't think it's Terrence. I just think it's the long hours you have to spend sitting in front of the com to do work. But Dzaki, don't you waste all of eternity on Facebook? Why yes, of course I do. Facebook is boring yes but it's a lot more enjoyable and less strenuous than Flash. Maybe it's just me. I just prefer a more hands-on thing.

And I miss doing intaglio. The inking process can be so..meditative.

Have you guys seen Jian Yao's drawing at the Hak Tai gallery? I want to learn how to do that. It's just awesome AND it's not super big. A big fail on me when I attempted the A1 elephant man trevvy thing. Very big fail. It's the crawl-into-a-big-hole-fail. Man that sucks.

And the Art Leadership thing. I'm having mixed feelings for it. Maybe it's the uncertainty.

monday

First, let's get some visuals into your head.

It is one in the morning. I got back from Julie's about an hour ago. I haven't showered, I haven't changed. I am in the living room using my laptop in front of the TV, at the living room table. TV's showing MTV Hits. The current mv is 30secs from Mars kings and queens or something. I dunno. I prefer metal. My brother is in his usual corner of the room playing his electric guitar. Practicing some off song that I might not like in the end, like Paramore or something. Don't get me wrong, he plays metal and all the other hardcore stuff. Visuals, there.

So here's the thing. Short one. Sometimes you think there are things that get in your way, generally school work, travel, weather, proposal and stuff like that. But the reality is, all the things that are in the way are there because you let them get in your way. And that shouldn't happen.

And nows-a-days I hit the sack the moment I get home. Which is different but it's no good I guess. While most people would say that sleeping early is good for you (I can agree to a certain extent) but most of the things you do after school (that's when you get home, like about 10-12) are also as important as sleep. That little bit of extra time could be well spent on researching what to write for your essay, proposal or artist statement. And who couldn't say no to checking mail and facebook?

It's just that these days are getting tired-er and tired-er. And I think I don't really like screen purintingu. At least not till CEE EM WAI KAY. Maybe I'll enjoy that.
