This is my lecturer. He's painting skills are rather aspiring. He got some humor in him. He'll always forget where he'd placed his coffee and his 'magical rod'.



It's the 2nd week and I've beginning to feel rather anxious for my ongoing/coming assignments.
My painting skill is improving in a very slow speed. Others are improving tremendously. I don't feel devastated or anything like I think I would in the past. I just feel that there's no point to broad over it and over-stressed myself. Art with quality can only be produced in times when I'm enjoying it. So, I just need to be more, much much more hardworking. I need that drive from God.
Need to be more alert, awake and productive for the next consecutive 5 weeks.
Then, tada! 2 months of good rest.
Been asking around my fellow school mates what they intend to go and pursue after diploma. Approx. 7 out of 10 had no idea. One step at a time. I shall make use of that 2 months and start researching. Sometimes, I wish that my parents would be more demanding. LOL, nvm I'm not complaining, I just wish. I might not survive if they are.

Wed- Took the wheel for the very first time and I enjoyed it! The engine died on me 3 times. The instructor is pretty interesting. Asked many questions and encouraged me along the way. I think he's constant reminders will turn into scoldings in the near future.

Thurs- Met up with cariissa. I like it when we shared what we've learned and yeah, when I have the time and no commitments I'll go visit your church some day. Thanks for being my mirror and reflect on things I should and shouldn't do.

Today- Met up with princesspchiensyjia! HAHA. She's a great storyteller. Almost 9/10 of the time was her telling me stories. Interesting eh. Looks like my life is rather saddening. HAHA. Next meeting on June okay! Make sure it's a BFF one. It'd been 2 years since we'll had an outing!

Tml- After junior arts i'll be meeting evaseahkaichyi! hahah. Will be doing some photoshop thing with her for church and I guess there won't be any problem cause she's a fast learner!(;
I'll be collecting the 300 calendar cum leaflet from the printing shop as well. HOPEFULLY everything goes well. I cannot afford for things to go wrong.

Thank God that without much avoidings, this week seems to past by peacefully. However I guess there's some cracked sounds. It's okay I guess. Better than shattered right.
Omgoodness, just as I finished this sentence, I realised that it's not over yet.
Seriously, that determination is rather impressive.
Now, full guards and avoidance ON.
I feel so heartless.

-Self-reminder-
May all i am and do and say,
give glory to my Lord always,
and May no act of mine cause shame,
Nor bring reproach upon His name

His glory is like a magnificient painting, I would not want to be the shadow, overcasting it and destroy that beauty.

I should not judge on others! GRAHH

mean me

I think I am very rude today.
Maybe not just today.
I dislike it, when people start creating irrelevant issues.
Issues that I've never encounter before and when I try to solve it my way, which I think is right, they just dont seems to get it.

PHWOAR, angry. Guilty.

I think, it's just me.
There must be a better way to handle this for sure, est.
Lousy.

Shall make full use of this weekend, reflect and equip myself for next week.
On a happier note, the daily bread is finally sent to me!(:

To be or not to be

This is my dream studio apartment.
Which I think is super unrealistic and impossible.
We're told to design and construct an impossible space with sketch-up.
Still, it'll be great to paint while I have a space to showcase and then rest!
My wish.
I've yet to mentioned here that Daddy finally gave me his consent to go Europe, yay!
Hopefully all of us will be able to get some subsidy from the M.O.E edusave account.
The official trip will be covering Italy(rome-florence-venice-milan) and France(paris).
Some of us will be extending the trip for probably 5 more days to venture part of Germany(amsterdam and berlin).
Shan't cast my worries here like what I did for Kukup. One thing for sure is THEFT.
Shall start planning soon on how I could make my trip more worthwhile.

This week is the start of my final semester and term for year 2. I'll be in year 3 soon! :o
Was adviced to start thinking of what we could do for our grad show.
I have no concrete idea yet :O
Shall heed the abstract=religion senior's advice to not think too much and just carry on.
Sftey, although we both didn't had a good term start, still 休息是为要走更远的路. Also, congrats!

better than expected

redundant walk in the mangrove swamp
I say carefree

Ah Long and me

4D3N Kukup trip!
The lodging is comfortable and we never had to worry that we'll go hungry. People are nice there as well. Life without much technology feels rather good. We enjoy the slow paced and simple lifestyle they lived. However, I might just go insane doing nothing there forever. I love the companion of my room-mates too. Got to play table-tennis and came to know a few friends that can play too.(The thought of bringing in TT table into our studio) I've made a new friend, his name is Ah Long and his family do fishing as a living. He likes and can draw well.

Other than that we had some culture shock when we first reached there. Like they don't have proper sewage system(anything just go down onto the ground from the hole) and their main source of entertainment is to sing K, everyday. I think the existence of this village is really not very much environment friendly. They'll just litter and throw things straight to the water/ground, thinking that once it's high tide, everything will be washed away.

The last morning which is today, we got up to witness the sun rise and its a pretty, bright and orange eggyoke-like. I think it was my first time to see a sun rise. Talking about the sun, I hate the fact that I'm two shades darker now. It's burning hot to paint under that blazing sun! Shan't complain any further here but I did really enjoyed myself.
