zoo

i didnt take any pictures but i got these instead =D the damn buggers kept moving.













this is what elaine would look like if she was a guy. no lah actually jasmine was teaching me how to draw female faces and figures. i gave up halfway and turned it into a guy.

had a lot of fun at the zoo yesterday. the people who attended were jianwei jasmine elaine yizhen irfan shuting that chinese gal(cant remember name sorry) evelyn me and lophe! did i forget anyone? sorry if i did. fish didnt come cause he was drunk =\ and lost his wallet the previous night. ji hyun came home late last night after a night of pubbing.

it rained terribly in the morning and we had to camp at kfc till it stopped. some of us got separated from the group several times and we had to back track to find these lost souls lol. it was a real good day. made a few new friends. but time and time again god would test me about where my true feelings lie.

love you

4-5/100

so 4 and 5 out of 100. =x

cold marina square

ok im officially bored at home. tutorial week sucks. i cant do any work at home. its some sort of a curse.

so methinks me should head over to the library or whatnot. good idea eh?

currently addicted to facebook i have no idea why. i think being tucked away in one corner of the world for too long has got me yearning for company once again. yeah i cant be alone. it kinda sucks.

also, town is boring. bras basah is boring. marina square is still too cold. dont even talk to me about orchard. so little things too much time. heh, never thought id be saying that.

so no picture today. every picture drains the shit out of me. gym yesterday was so damn tiring. have to push harder and harder i guess. dont know for what reason but haha, it sure as hell feels good.

maybe i should go out again today. ian is getting his ibanez. and there's a potential for a movie but money-wise, i shouldnt have spent 20 bucks at art friend yesterday. and that star wars movie is half-baked but still good to me i guess. damned lucas has lost his magic.

love you

2-3 / 100

im such a fag, i know.

poolside

classic moment at jon's place. sorry its not the right side up




well im off to finish my leftover assignments and they are such a bore. im better off painting and painting stuff or drawing some fantasy shit again. two week break begins here and i think im going to finish off EVERYTHING before the first week ends.


1/100 for the sketchbook

yeah call me freakishly hardworking. i just wanna clear everything and then i can gym.


rock on
love you

that feeling

i cant help but think that something's going on but nobody's telling me. hmmmmm. i guess sooner or later someone will spill the beans. hopefully.

fasting month is ok i guess. i think this time round isnt as beautiful as the other times. im always exhausted from school and schoolwork. and the long one hour rides to and fro doesnt help me at all. it gets worse if it rains but i dont mind the rain. rain = prosperity in my religion i think.

our song =)

theres only one person i think of whenever i hear this song and thats you.

rock on
love you

taz' dingo!

so 'holidays' are coming. holidays = tutorial weeks. so they give us two weeks of free time to finish up or re-do our previous assignments, if we're not happy with it or if THEYRE not happy with it. lol

fasting month is just fasting month. same old same old. i look forward to every weekend now that soccer is up and running again. can never live without soccer. another thing i cant live without is hawker centre food. i cant imagine living overseas, feeding myself on western food everyday. sure there's italian pasta in italy or snails in france but i will miss my dear chicken rice, nasi goreng, egg prata etc. foodies out there will share my thoughts.

nothing much to update. will post more 'art' next time round.

rock on
love you

friday night/saturday morning

yeah we were actually upside down. it was either that or i was too lazy to rotate the pictures.

printmaking class. this time we had to play with colors, something i tried my best to do.not bad right?




the set up we had to paint during western painting. the girl in the back is the korean girl in my class. doesnt talk to me much.




and band people, remember this? =D my pride and joy last time. it freaked the hell out of everyone and PWNed all the other cca t-shirts but not so bad, considering i also did their t-shirts as well =X

so went jamming today, will be going jamming tomorrow again. good. reduce stress have fun relax chill time out enjoy myself. i seriously think something is wrong with me ever since i stepped foot into NAFA. im getting weaker day by day. must be more resolute and strong.

rock on
love you
miss you

almost a month

its going to be almost a month in school now. time flies very fast doesnt it? i wish it'll fly faster. hopefully i get to learn MORE stuff as opposed to what we did today. man i hate still life drawing but its kinda essential to being a damn good artist, i think.

there are a lot of options that i think i can go. i just need to put in more effort (as usual) and keep drawing and drawing and painting and drawing. oh no. that sounds abit like julie. =O i dont understand how people can sit for hours drawing stuff. it seems ive lost all my discipline and i need to regain it fast.

rock on
love you

tuesdays

tuesday is the messiest day of the week. not to mention the most tiring. we have printmaking in the morning and western painting in the afternoon. so here goes!







ok the watercolor painting is NOT DONE YET so dont complain like a singaporean uh. my first time using water color kay. so its not si beh pro xD

i'll be back with more drawings and more rhcp!

rock on

so it begins

chalet shmellet ballet. details can be found at here! =D

here's a nice video of give it away
fuji rock festival 2006
im praying very hard valerie



for your info:
the intro is from "public enemy - youre gonna get yours"
suckers to the side i know you hate my 98, youre gonna get yours

they really go crazy in this one. its a bit long right, 9 minutes but thats cause of the intro+song+outro that is so typical of rhcp. see thats the BIG DIFFERENCE between rchp and other bands. every concert they create jams and extra impromptu stuff so its really refreshing and energizing! xD

rock on
love you

hey you

honey, this song is for you. remember all the good times we had and dont forget it. and please, i know you dont like RHCP but please listen to the song and the lyrics ok? especially the chorus. i know i havent been myself the past few days but im working on it. nafa has already begun to take its toll on me i guess.

RHCP LYRICS MAKES SENSE OK. ITS NOT ALL ABOUT LOVE SEX AND DRUGS. bitches! =D


song: funny face
single: snow

rock on
love you

here is a song

going through alot of emotional tension now. here's a nice song by john anthony motherfcking fruciante. makes me feel better too.



thank you sarah, adi, desmond and rina for making me think straight again =)

cheers

2nd week

2nd week of school. damn tiring sia. we had to bring this and that all over the place. had to buy like tons of materials and stuff. stupid sia im not a photo addict. if i would have already flooded this page with many many pictures! but theres nothing much at nafa either, just a normal looking school with normal people (mostly). i do like the doors however, theyre painted in bright colours in contrast to the plain white walls =\ there was this time in history class when the door couldnt be opened from the inside of the room but only from the outside. and when the servicemen came to fix the door it was working perfectly fine. stupid art history teacher.

learned a lot of new things so far. for starters, michelangelo is gay. thats why his statues of men are very nicely detailed and his women look like men (im not bluffing you). secondly, i just realised i suck at watercolour painting. i just dont get it. the bugis/city area can be a bitch and be seriously freaking hot morning, afternoon and in the evening. laselle is just round the corner. seriously, i just knew about this today =D but dont tell sarah. later she'll drag me down to tekka for indian food. my class is like the quietest class with the exception of ah lien and ah beng. there are a lot of girls in nafa. wait dont i know this already? but it doesnt matter, im not attracted to them at all. maybe dzariif or samuel or ian or leslie eh? i will never ever intro any of my classmates to you guys.

very happy and elated that arsenal won stuttgart though its only a pre-season friendly. i cannot wait for the league to start again sia. im surviving with whatever football there is on tv so a pre-season match to me seems like a real match. hahahaha jens lehmann was beaten thrice. i expected better of him but then who cares when arsenal is scoring and scoring? we're gonna give manu a run for their money and balls.

thats it la for today. totally shagged. next time i put pictures kay. =\

rock on
love you

post post

my deepest condolences to jaslyn aka jazz, jazzoo, whose dad recently passed away on tuesday. her dad was a 1st warrant officer and a commando, and taught many ocs cadets and commandos how to parachute. the one fact that i liked about him, though i didnt know him at all, was that he joined the army to gain citizenship just to marry his wife. may god bless him and his family, especially you jazz. be strong =)

that cockroach was very big leh..and it can fly summore

one week of school has passed and it was a long week. so many different rooms to get used to, running here and there. not to mention the awfully long breaks in between classes. 3 hours. yeah. fortunately with friends time just whizzes away. luckily i have friends sial this anti-social me. a few only la, relax. out of the few there is a metalhead that is as quiet as a mouse, a petite bubbly and cheerful woman, and then there's this very look-like-she's-always-in-deep-thought kind of girl which i like to converse with. band people la. lol. and dont forget that guy whose mouth is like a loose cannon which i dont mind at all. =D

so there you go, first week down 8 more to go till term break. haha just start school and already cannot wait for holiday. cant wait for 2nd year also, thats when we will have our majors. initially i thought western painting (stop calling it western western..reminds me of western food), between western painting and printmaking =\ choose wisely.

im loving my old model/new phone sony erricsson k850i. 5 mega pixel leh. can fight with desmond but his has gps. =O

rock on

love you

school started already

first day of school. abit of confusion. me and the guys (actually very little guys, more girls =D) dont know where to go but luckily we bumped into the HOD himself and he re-directed us to the right location. today we had drawing class. very simple. draw 10 objects on ten separate pieces of paper. all the objects were scattered around the studio. pots pans, vases, remy martin bottles, bits of pottery and also an iron (iron clothes). very simple very nice. but i forgot to take pictures =O

please spend 4 minutes of your precious time to watch this! especially you valerie wth (what the hell? no..wong something something). you promised that if i posted rhcp you'd watch. so watch.


rhcp - scar tissue live at slane castle
good quality dont worry. crank the speakers!


on a sad note...




good bye goblin sharpshooter. goodbye goblin piledriver. your image will always be in ma mind (and on my shoe). remember how we always thrashed the muffets? good times good times.

rock on..

love you..

eventide

jam-packed

so, nothing much has happened. i woke up one morning to be fuming mad at the world. there was no reason for this i was just crazily angry at the world and how it gets back at us. lied down pondering about atheism and religion. thought for a very very long time. its quite unfair actually, this world.


richie (elves) against samuel (lifegain) . i never imagined i'd play magic again. but thats what i did. i didnt win all the matches but its more fun that way.


i hate elves. first of all theyre green. second, there are so many of them. third, they look gay as in homosexual (except the female ones, theyre pretty) and lastly they spawn fast. luckily, i always beat them with goblins! =D


things dont look too good for samuel. sometimes you just gotta dig deep when the cards dont come to your hand. just like in life. whatever shit you get from your card draws, you just gotta make the right choices.

unexpectingly, sam lost the match.



mahjong session at chiu yee's place. sadly i didnt win any of the games. fortunately, i dont gamble xD. yun xin won a lot as usual. she's quite good and everything i play with her its like all so fast. and im usually there figuring out which chinese character is what number.


desmond gets bored after playing mahjong so he builds a 2-dimensional pyramid which doesnt last very long. we played uno stacko after that which sam lost alot of times cause me and desmond kept pulling from the bottom of the stack. pro ok.


my younger bro on guitar. i cant play guitar.

we watched vh1's top 40 greatest metal songs of all time at chiu yee's place. and the top three are..

1) ironman - black sabbath (we totally agree)
2) welcome to the jungle - guns and roses (you should have seen the 'wtf' looks on our faces
3) master of puppets - metallica (yes!)

school starts tomorrow. and i havent received the orientation letter like wtf? wtf is wrong with singapore posts? like how hard is it to deliver the fucking letter. do you know what's at stake here? i dont get it. this is exactly the reason why i was so moody the past few days.

rock on..

love you..

a few events

she always looks better than me in photos, i just look retarded

i went to this freaky z/sleeq thing at the artshouse. 2 gigs at artshouse within a week =O so you ask why the hell would i watch a sleeq performance? the answer - sarah. im a good boyfriend ok so i tagged along to make sure no one got hurt. turns out freaky z and sleeq are very nice people. sarah and i even managed to like 'jam' with the pianist after the performance. it was quite weird and they even asked us for our emails and all but i'll tell you one thing. showbiz and me dont work together because i wanna be an art teacher.


sleeq performing

additional content:

at some point in our lives we will always be surrounded by good friends and good times. if you happen to watch The Lord of the Rings (a non-hit with any female species) you'd find that Frodo is always backed by a Sam, whose always there for him and vice-versa.

so for every Frodo, there is a Sam



"will he leave for NS? stay tuned folks!"

rock on..

love you..

gig

kinda catchy..i love the lightsabers for drumsticks at the back part

went with sarah to the earshot at artshouse for some performance thingy. no, not me performing. my brother asked me to go actually, so if he didnt tell me i wouldnt have bothered anyway. thats why i looked so sian the other day, if you were there and you saw me.

another reason is because i am currently sick from staying up all night long, consecutively. all the sleepless nights have finally taken its toll on me and now im stuck with having a slight fever and a cold. trust me it sucks to be sick. id rather be out jamming or gymming. its going to be roughly a week till school starts and i better rest up. no more late nights and no more over-exertion man. but shit, i promised chiu yee im going to her sisters concert tomorrow. more band.

band band band. im kinda sick of band anyway. im sure there is some strife within the 'politicians' in the band and im sure as hell NOT going to be involved with it. in a weeks time im starting out with a new lease of life, something i do not want to add politics too. hey its your own problems, dont mix me into it.

ive not been myself lately. im kinda down and upset most of the time. but maybe its just because of my flu and fever. so after a while it should turn out fine again.

missing you already , love you..

rock on..

fun with photoshop

did this in the wee hours of morning. i dont know why. my first time trying to paint using photoshop. not that bad right? =D i dont know how to do the dark areas or to make it sharp. i needa go look at some tutorials. im sure there are a few out there somewhere. ok it sucks.

kinda sucks that school starts so late. in 2 weeks yeah, they havent even sent me a mail or what about the timetable. i better go enquire (again). i bet they remember my email xD. but when school starts, 'school mode' turns on.

rock on..

love you..

nothing much again

to be brutally honest, im not quite happy with whats up there.

anyway, this drawing goes to one of my best buds, the one that taught me how to play magic. cheers mate =D

havent been drawing much. i stopped by suntec with ian and chiu yee to see whats the fuss with the comics/games/anime thingy (i dont know waht its called) and there was nothing much to see. well, if chiu yee didnt actually walk so fast im sure there was tons to see but what really caught my attention was this tablet display thing. its basically like a tablet but you can view your screen on it. how should i explain. ok. go check out the hp touch screen computer. imagine that and then imagine it being smaller and having a pen as your mouse. used for digital art and i tell you the sensitivity is amazing! the harder you press the pen against the screen the thicker and darker the lines, making shading a breeze. it was so so very fun. but it costs a bomb though, with the smaller a4-ish size at approximately two thousand bucks (2000) and the bigger one, a3-ish, about five thousand (5000). to hell with that.

then afterwards crashed at ians place where we watched the batsu game. the one in the inn. yes its very very hillarious. i dont understand why some people cant take japanese humor. when i awoke the next morning it was 5pm and my body was hurting like hell. it felt as if i just finished running a 10km marathon, something i cannot do. ok imagine running 2.4k and then multiply it by about 5. thats how it felt like.

thats about it i guess..oh wait

CONGRATULATIONS TO SPAIN ON WINNING EURO 2008 xD

i wanted france but spain is second best so yeah!

rock on..

love you..

will draw lots more next time (head full of ideas, hand full of laziness)

cookie monsta

well i havent been updating for a very long time. so heres a drawing!



for the friend that bakes cookies, this is for you.

not much has happened the past few weeks. havent been gymming much to my disappointment. am going to today =D

there really isnt anything much to talk about actually. i asked a few others what i should blog about and sarah told me to say that i overslept and didnt wake up in time to meet her yesterday. i was supposed to help out in her project work but dear me, its euro fever. how can one possibly wake up under these circumstances? and speaking about euro, its a pity that france were knocked out early but at least germany and spain are in! its all about arsenal/ex-arsenal love. lehman and fabregas, with that last penalty to send italy home. finally the french can have their revenge, though they played disappointingly this euro.

i realise that im turning more into a couch potato. not that i dont exercise yes, well maybe im a healthy couch potato. well its all television's fault i guess. how can you resist watching tattoo wars, human weapon, fight quest, euro, bourdain, monday night laughs, csi and stuff? 8,11,12,16,18,19 are my favourite channels xD no mtv for me cause im not usually into the pop music thing.

feeeling the connection with the drums again. might learn a new trick or two. just waiting for samuel to buy his bass!

rock on..

love you..

see

you see, i have been working hard.

rock on..

cookie dookie

if farah ever offers you FREE cookies, just grab em. no dont have to think twice just grab em. cause they are simply good =). every cookie has more than 10 chocolate chips! every bite sends you one step closer to heaven and shes selling them by the bottle next week. so go her blog uh and request!

ok that sounded abit exaggerating.

hey ho. i went out with sarah today. its been weeks since ive last went out with her so i was really very excited and all that. she looked beautiful today. we had lunch (well i did) at marina square before going to raffles city. we were lucky that there was this performance by the brass quintet from JUST Brass Ensemble. they sounded really good. "i liked vincent's playing xD" it was a bit weird at the end. because none of us really wanted to go. but we had to lah. then there were some 'issues'. haha, if youre in a relationship you should know what that means. so i sent her home at about 10, then went home straight cause i wasnt feeling that well. man, i keep sleeping at 5-6 every morning. and wake up at 2. what a life.

i cant wait for school to start. one more month. i just cant wait. i think im going to study art history as well, which sounds like a bummer but im giving it a chance. i also cant wait for figure drawing. thats the best part. i wonder if they'll have nude models?

rock on..

love you..

another shorter breather

she deleted her previous blog so once again..

Sarah's blog

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

if you remember

i remember about 3 years ago when i was in secondary school. i was doing a drawing for an art exam tomorrow. i was doing it in the wee hours of morning for a full four hours and it felt SHIOK.

i never got it back though. its lost somewhere in the art department of the school i guess.

i remember when i was in band. setting the metronome to 'full blast' (my section would know what i mean) and then doing "i recommend" for warm-up. i also remember playing the drums when i was just sec2. i jammed with desmond and sharmen. that was the first time i improvised. it felt shiok.

now desmond plays guitar in his tower of an apartment and sharmen is god knows where.

i remember slacking during prefect duties in the canteen. what to do? when you're the boss you can do whatever you want. i remember sneaking off to play soccer during a certain band break. we came back 15 minutes late and were punished to arrange and carry chairs for the band. i remember 2 wise guys marching in the rain afterwards. shiok uh.

i want to feel shiok again.
