I just finished my charcoal drawing for 2D Studio Art a while ago. And it just shocked me that it looks decent. Not good but decent.
Why am I shocked?
Well, because I used to believe I sucked at charcoal and pastel. But then I realised, that if I take a small step at a time and don't mind being a reeetle bit patient things will turn out better than expected. And it did.

charmander
I know I haven't been myself lately. School's really doing something to my brain, like I feel like a "raffles school girl". Come one man, grades aren't everything. Travelling here and there and back again to school is really taking its toll on me. And this coughity cough is making it worse too.
Lucky you were to there to tell me, that school isn't all about grades. It isn't about owning other people (though you get owned in the process =x) and it isn't about proving something to yourself. School's about learning and owning YOURSELF. To improve and own some medium and to discover yourself as well.
Lucky again you were there to remind me to take care of myself. To be there with me when shit happened. To support and remind me to drink my water every time I almost coughed to death.
And so I thank you. And I love you.

Bloody hell am I losing weight? Little time for schoolwork. Something is taking its toll. No more dilly-dally. Do or do not because there is no try.

grumpy day
I thought Monday was going to be a grumpy day for me at least, cause we had to bring so much stuff for 2D studio art. And we have to do so much for Anatomy drawing class. In the end it wasn't all that bad. I actually liked painting with the palette knife because it seems easier than blending and I'm not uber good at blending paint. So impasto knife-ing I will be for the next few paintings. Haha.
And bloody hell the travelling to and fro NAFA is starting to bug me. Too often I reach home late and exhausted lol. Maybe it's just a phase. Been thinking about certain stuff lately. Not the only one to think about it but I think it's really valid.
But damn I feel pressured by schoolwork. So damn tiring.
And alot!

PS: i really think the couple jokes have to stop eh? ;) once in a while it's nice and funny but not at every lesson and everytime. i mean come on.
thanks

hey ho, let's go!
So that was the first week of school. For some strange reason, it is so damn tiring. A lot of things to buy (expensive things) and homework! The best is drawing. "Today no lesson, but got homework". Jianyao damn imba hahaha. It's going to be a lot more harder this time round, seeing that everyone is working extra hard to get better grades. NO more slacking boy.
There. A short one for now.

tattoo show
Ahah! So Julie, Jianwei and I went for the inaugural tattoo show at the Singapore Expo today. I think it would have been more enjoyable IF all of us had tattoos/were tattoo artists/were going to have a tattoo over there. But overall it was nice to see all the different shtuff.
But to be honest with you, I went just to see this guy.
The Chris Garver. Very cool guy. I think we were the last few to have our pictures taken with him. We also had our cool posters signed too. Of course we did, we waited in the queue damn long man. I guess our patience finally paid off haha.
There was also this event on stage where Garver and three other artists collaborated on four different canvases. What they did was to draw on their own canvases and then after a few minutes switch over to the other canvases. This they did like a few times and after awhile all of the canvases looked freaking nice.
So all in all it was goood. Had dinner at Jule's after. Imba baked rice ;;

8 weird things
I was tagged by none other than Julie. Haha. Here it goes.
1) I scream, shout and sing like a deranged psychopathic monkey on drugs when I'm at home just to annoy people or whenever I feel like it.
2) I look at myself in the mirror. Really look at myself.
3) I play PetSociety.
4) Sometimes I wished I had superpowers.
5) I am half-geek.
6) I like to find loopholes in almost everything.
7) I hate to be alone anywhere, anytime (unless I'm on the phone)
8) I air-drum alot..when there's no drumset.

sci-fi
Went to visit Hafiz at SP for some SPinnovex thing. I call this, the ProtoLaser3000! (ok no that's not what its called, I forgot) Basically it's this laser device that shoots a laser beam and its supposed to identify damaged tissue in muscles. I tried shoving my hand under the laser and guess what? All healthy, haha.
This is the freaky laser bit right here.
Tomorrow I'll be heading down to expo (FAR) for the Singapore Tattoo Show. I might get to see Chris Garver, who knows? I bet it'll be like a pilgrimage for Jianwei.

edit: it's called a 'laser based physiological parameter measurement'

quickie hickie
Just a quick update.
I'm down with flu/cold and sore throat and my module registration didn't go so well. Then I have to go down to NAFA (again) to get it rectified. I always get shit from NAFA admin. Damn. This is not how I want to start the year man. Note to self: Have more initiative in doing stuff, so that you don't get fucked.
My house is in the process of slowly being revamped by my Dad. I think the dust is killing me. I shall have to vacuum.
Here's a little something for you. Thank you for the lovely time before, during and after dinner. Thanks for all the PetSoc stuff as well =x. And thanks for always wanting to be there with me when NAFA fucks up my admin stuff. Love you babe =]

the year before 09
What I can say about 2008.
But of course a lot of thing happened this year. Let's just look at the highlights. For starters, I left SP Architecture around the beginning of the year. I made a lot of wonderful friends there. It was during this time of my life I played soccer almost everyday. I remember the cheap $2 chicken rice stall. I remember archery. And remember how we all used to rush for submissions? I remember bulking up and gymming three times a week. I used to weigh 55kg and that's big for me. And that was poly life for me.
Another highlight is the break-up. And so I broke up with Sarah. I guessed she doesn't even remember me by now which is ok. We shared many good times and horrible times. I remember missing her loads when she was overseas. I miss her cute little bunny that likes me more than it likes her. Minnie, that's what it was called. I remember all the piano playing and the song singing. Then came the rough times. It came and it got rougher and by the time it went away both of us were left scarred and separated. And that was Sarah.
NAFA. The new beginning. A way of redemption. This half of the year was the best half. I met a mellowhead, a metalhead, a rempit, a fish, a lian and the beng. I also met the family and what a family it is. There were a lot of late nights, a lot of jamming. I learnt how to paint and do printmaking. I learnt that pastel is a bitch (kidding =x) History is so much fun, more than Investigating Art. I may seem nerdy but there are bigger nerds ;) NAFA is great. NAFA admin, is not.
The final highlight, is you =] I never would have imagined it will come to this and it has. A whole lot of things. A lot of mellow things as well. Movies, lepaking, the family. It's all HOOD xD And I'm making it a new year resolution, to not let this fall. To give it my all and let it grow. I love you.
So that was 2008 simplified.

the other day
Christmas photo.
School's coming up soon. I still have yet to choose my electives =\ but I hear Technical Drawing's very popular amongst the peoples. If I could get that I'd be revisiting the Archi past, which isn't really that bad. Worse come to worse I won't take any cross-electives. After all, we're taking 20 points worth next sem. I die-die will not take any business modules =x

A very big thank you to Jules and family for having me over for Christmas dinner.
I got a few presents this year. The only year I got presents, actually. A nice shirt, a nice hoodie some books. But these are my favourites,
ARSENAL! Photobook with all the photos from the 07/08 season. Thanks so much Juliet and Derrick. Anything from Arsenal is a sure win.
But nothing beats this lil white book because it's priceless and it's from the heart. This is the favourite-est =]
Ok to digress, I really like this Chewbacca toy.
Happy Birthday Faiz (16)

pre-
It's less than a week to Christmas. Heh this is the first time I'm so worked up over Christmas. Better finish the prezzies soon.
I haven't been updating because well there isn't much to update. I finally got my results from NAFA after all the hassle. And my reaction? OK lah. I felt that I could have done much better but I'm stuck with what I have now. Haix. I'm not going to post it here. Nobody does that, not unless they're really thick-skinned and BHB. Haha.
Life is getting much better. I'm really thankful for everything that has happened, be it good or bad. Why the bad things? Because when one door closes, another door opens and if it doesn't, use a sledgehammer.
"you and your stupid theories, hahaha"
I'm thankful for the people (and person) I've met, for all the fun times we've had and we're going to have. Thankful for my health now that my back is feeling way better (but my ears get plugged every now and then) Thankful for the health of everyone else around me. The year is coming to a close soon. Got to start reflecting on next year's agenda. And I have one already:
'All As Next Semester'

home
Home is where the Heart is.
I am finally back from ECP. Apparently Mom likes to have random BBQ/stayovers at ECP and every single time we go there guess what happens. It rains. Oh how we love the rain, the constant drips and drops, the pattering it makes on the roofs of our tents. And how uncontrollably cold we shiver, how wet we all get.
But seriously. I don't mix well with the rain. Cycling was good. Cycling there was even better. Cycling/walking back, best. And that was the highlight of the whole expedition.
The rain ruined it all. Again. Thanks ah.

Were we born to believe?
Were we made to believe?

Realise
When your friends don't get along. It just sucks to know that. When you realise your best mates have this hidden dislike for the other. And even you have to admit, you harbour something bad towards them as well, no matter how minute it is. But that just shows that we all can't 100% get along what. right?
Then one of them is going to NS. Good luck to him. All the best. Just remember to call us out, when you book out. And the other one, when we are called upon, please don't be late. No this is not called bitching, just a reminder. We have 6 years of friendship leh. That has got to count for something. Let's all meet up soon ok?
And for you, the loveliest. I do hope yesterday's a good sign, of good things to come. Thank you for the wonderful time and thank your mummy, derrick and your jie for being awesome hosts :D Thank you for your healing hands, thank you for your tour of Van Gogh's house. I love you and you are right. We'll cross the bridge when we get there, but till then, I love you. Can't wait to see you again :)

sunday's a bummer day
Got this crazy idea from one of Matthew's blog posts. Basically, you put your MP3 player on Shuffle and write down the FIRST line of every English song you hear. You do this twenty(20) times. Then you take the first line of the TWENTY-FIRST(21th) song and you put that as your TITLE. So in the end you have this crazy song/poem thing. Haha you might get really wacky stuff. Here's what I got:
She's a Loaded Gun
How long, how long will I slide?
Can't stop addicted to the shindig
The prophets of God have left you solaced indeed
Woe to you oh Earth and Sea
Then as it was, then again it will be
What I got you got to give it to your Mama
Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
End of passion play, crumbling away
I got a mellowship, I got a fellowship
Virginia death threat, Virginia creeper vine
I just got the news today you were dying
Kill for gain, I shoot to maim
It's early morning, the sun comes out
Step right up and listen please
Now you've got something to die for
Blank stares from broken men
Say, yes they know that you've hurt yourself another time
All aboard, stitch in time
We don't want them, we want everything
Can I get your hand to write on?
A bit of RHCP, a bit of metal and omg, not even one MELLOW SONG. Haha. Very funny but worth a try. Go try it out.

short breather
Hehe. If I were to have a son.
Been stuck with my back problem for a week now. Doctor says it might be some tissue/muscle tear or whatnot. Takes a few weeks for it to heal usually. Damn, I hate feeling like an old man. I feel like a burden to everyone. Especially you.
It was great following you all over Singapore my dear =) I wouldn't hesitate to do it again Haha if only my back would comply. Thank you for everything my love.
Nice bit of space eh?
