Silence.....

wooo....yes i noe tis seems scary...well the theme for this project was 'silence' so well...just had to go along wif the theme...so i thought of the title "suffering in silence"...took me around 8 hrs to complete this piece sometime last wk...coloring that hand alone (that palm) took me arnd 4 hrs...yep...half of the 8hrs was spent on coloring the hand....but well...the result turned out to be something tat i like....so its quite worth the effort...it has become one of my favorite pieces and yep...ive gt an A for this piece of work! well i hardly get any A's so its quite a big deal to me tat i get A...haha...cos most of the time ill usually get Bees...but well this module called design drawing is so-called my strongest module for this sem...

hmmm...so many gd friends and buddies flying in and out of sg within last wk and this wk...and yest just sent ct off for his 1 and a half mths (i think) of training in australia...and this wk mi gd buddy winson is flying off to germany for a mth at least and my other friends returning from tat beautiful land of the rising sun..=)

Sighs....Beautiful Memories on a webby

was randomly looking at the fusion webby and i just cant help but sigh and tear...well...dun get me wrong...im nt sad tat my friends have graduated while i havent...it partly is...but more to the reason tat i do miss nyp alot...well even i myself didnt noe that i would miss nyp but looking at those pics of nyp dere reli proved me wrong...was seeing the photos of my fellow buddies on the website and some of the nyp places tat we dominated....i just miss those days...well after all they are still my friends...and they werent the reason why i left...cos theyre still great ppl...=)

i miss those days when i was wif my poly mates in lt3 for lectures...and most of it was in yr 1 cos in yr 2 there hardly were lectures...and i miss howi used to sit wif my grp 1 mates as well...

decided to forgo my work and drop by once more into fusion again tdy before svc...after all tdy is the last day of fusion and prolly the last time im gonna see my dmd mates as a whole before they are scattered everywhere...so yep...it was a fruitful day catching up wif my poly mates once more...feels reli great...and went to makan wif them at suki sushi @ amk before heading down to church...

an unforgettable day indeed...=)

Fusion X

wooots...tdy was awesome...went for fusion tdy and had a great time catching up wif my long-time-no-see poly buddies...it felt like i was back in poly once again tdy...hahah...missed them quite alot...=)

ms pat tan...one of my poly lecturers...very nice teacher....

fusion is like a graduation show conducted annually by my poly course Digital Media Design to promote and exhibit students works at the end of the 3 years of study in nyp and at the same time give students a chance to showcase their works to future employers out there and this yr is their turn...and well deep in my heart i feel proud of my buddies for being able to complete their 3 yrs successfully and it felt great seeing some of mi frens getting some of the awards...really proud of them...=)

and there was this buffet dinner just outside the auditorium and ms pat was telling me that i could eat the food as well...and then i sat wif my poly friends in a circle eating and chatting away and it felt nice being able to eat wif them in a group after so long...and then we were walking that familiar route back to the mrt from school after they were done packing up...and it felt like those nights when i was walking that route tgt wif them back to the mrt station during my poly days...so nostalgic...but such sweet memories....

ahhh...i miss those good old days...=) but well...im happy in nafa doing what im doing now...but its reli nice to have relived those sweet old days in poly...=)

New Phone Soon pls

nope...im nt getting a new fone just for the sake of it...but my sony ericsson is seriously pissing me off more and more day by day...and ppl if it seems like i switched off my phone or my phone gets cut off halfway while im talking to u i seriously apologize to u on behalf of my phone...

well...heres how it goes...its irritating enough that it hangs itself at random times of the day (and not once or twice a day but many times) and then it restarts itself again and again...and its even more irritating when im texting something to someone and its quite urgent/impt and when im msging halfway it just hangs itself and then restarts and restarts and restarts (yep it just restarts itself again and again alot of times)...and the worst is when im making a call to someone and when im talking halfway it just hangs and so i'll go "hello? hello?'' before realizing that it has hanged itself! so damn annoying and sot sot la...

so ive been thinking of either getting an iphone or blackberry...hmmm...i can join that iphone gang in church...but then again ive got some warnings from some friends about the cons about the iphone...hmmmm? do tag me and give me some advices too if u can eh...hehe...but actually im satisfied wif just a simple phone that i can call ppl and ppl can call me and i can text ppl in and out....

okayyy...a 1-credit module called academic writing ended 2 wks ago and now another 1-credit module comes up known as Singapore Arts Scene (SAS) - Arts Management...=.=...so now onwards my mondays end at 5 instead of previously 1pm...basically its econs la...they teach u how to set up a business, business management stuffs, how to set up an arts business...and most importantly how to get copyright to protect my works...i noe it sounds useful but the lesson is soooooo boring....=.=

Interesting appointment

woots...finally went for my dental appointment tdy after so many calls to postpone cos of my super busy schedules...and tdy was interesting cos dr poon showed me something tat made me not regret having braces...hahha...she showed me some before pics before i started the braces

...

horrible looking jaw tat protrudes...

tada! and this is my profile view now! hahahahaha....(hope u guys are nt looking at my sideburns hor! tats not the main emphasis)...xD

haha...and dr poon says tat i might not need to go for jaw surgery alr! hahahaha....hope it stays this way man..hehe

Some food for thought

saw this in subha's blog which was thought provoking and i thought i would like to share it wif u ppl here as well....something for u guys to picture and pause for some moment...=)

Imagine for a second that you are carrying a backpack...
I want you to feel the straps on your shoulders...feel them?

I want you to pack all the stuff that u have in your life
You start with the little things,
Things on the shelves, in the drawers, the knicknacks, the collectibles,
Feel the weight it all adds up

Then u start adding the larger stuffs,
Clothes, table top appliances, lamps, linen, tv
The backpack should be getting heavy by now..

You go bigger,
Your couch, your kitchen table, stuff it all in there,
Your car, get it in there as well,
Your home, whether it is just your room or the whole hdb flat,
I want you to stuff all that into the backpack

Now try to walk, its kinda hard isnt it?
This is what we do to ourselves on a daily basis..
we weigh ourselves down til we cant even move and make no mistake
Moving is living

Now, im gonna set that backpack on fire.
What do u wanna take out of it? Your photos?
Photos are for ppl who cant rmb
Drink some gingko and let the photos burn
In fact, let everything burn and imagine waking up tmr wif nothing

it's kinda exhiliarating isnt it? So all that was just things, Here comes the difficult or say complicated part

Now u have a new backpack
Now this time i wan u to fill it with people
Start with casual acquaintances, friends of friends, folks around the office
And then u move into the people u trust with your most intimate secrets
Your cousins, uncle, aunts, brothers, sisters, parents
And finally your husband, your wife, your girlfriend/boyfriend
get them into that backpack

Don't worry im not going to ask u to set that backpack on fire
Feel the weight of the bag, make no mistake
Your relationships are the heaviest components in yr life
Feel the strap cutting into your shoulders
All those negotiations, arguments, secrets, compromises
You need to carry all that weight

Then u set that bag down
Some animals were meant to carry each other to live symbiotically for a lifetime
Star-crossed lovers, monogamous swans

We are not these animals
The slower we move, the faster we die
We are not swans, we're sharks

So are u beginning to wonder wat u have in yr backpack?

and now im adding on from here...

why do people add so much weight to their backpack when they know they cant move with all that stuff inside? and speaking from a Christian point of view, why cant we just give that whole backpack to Jesus...why is it so hard to surrender?

L.O.V.E

i admit im sidetracking a lil while to add something to this space...

havent been updating this space for a wk alr....was very busy last wk rushing as much work as possible before sun, 7 March 10...went to celebrate hs' birthday and had a great time...sang k followed by fish and co dinner and after which we camwhored outside glasshouse and eventually did this formation of 'LOVE'....hehehe...had 2 failed attempts before it turned out to be a success...hehehe...

time flies and its alr week 9 of sch and deadlines are catching up...losing more slp and getting real tired but still having fun in sch wif peeps dere...and in a moment's time its isp and assessment and holiday before we get split in yr 2...seriously sian sia...

and oh! the jappies are gg to japan next wk! hahaha...cool man....glad tat u guys finally gg to japan! hahaha...have fun dere eh! ehehe...=)

okay...im off to serious business once again...cyaos ppl...=)

Why, why, why....

it is so much easier to ask questions dan to receive answers...was reading subha's blog and i agree wif wat she says about finding answers to questions are never easy...thoughts come in everyday...and thoughts will come with questions which most of the time there never seems to be an answer for it....and most of the time, these thoughts and questions are negative ones...

if u are reading this blog...u should at least have known me or our paths have crossed before somewhere...or u might be someone who hopped into here from a friend's link...but anyways...u might see me as someone who is forever smiley, cheery and outgoing...but there's really more to me...u might think that im the sort who is almost quite impossible to get emo...but surprise surprise....u are soooo wrong...i have feelings too okayyy....

everyone i know has alr unofficially finished poly ...dmd fusion is coming in 2 wks time...i could have been there proudly showing my works to friends, employers and clients-to-be...proudly proclaiming to the rest of the world tat ive made it through poly, got my diploma and made it successfully etc....

up til now...this is one of the biggest question marks i still have...something that i still find it hard to understand...even though im alr moving on wif my life....i seem to still be looking back and trying to find answers to this question even though i know ill probably never get the answer....and up til now...this whole thing seems really surreal...its feels like im in a really bad dream but somehow i can never be able to wake up...churchies i know u have heard my story time and again and im once again repeating it but pls bear wif me if u must yea...=)

its still really hard for me to figure out that i left dmd...the questions still linger...and ppl if u dun noe the reasons i would strongly appreciate it if u do not speculate...but anyways it was a course of my dreams since secondary sch...since like prolly sec 2? hah....i rmb mr heng favoured me in sec 2 cos i was top in class for art (not showing off) while most of the rest all CMI in art de...and i rmb him talking to me and asking me whether i was interested in animation...and then he was telling me about animation and tat was when tat seed was first planted in me...and tat was when tv mobile started showing nyp's gan cheong...and i thought tat it was reli cool...and so i slowly worked towards achieving tat goal while along the way it faded as i was acing in my other subjs as well like my 2 maths, bio and physics....got favored by teachers like tan soon yong (a great teacher i miss alot)....but my dream of entering dmd never died...

my dream got fulfilled...i got into dmd....but it got shattered overnight...just wif the snap of my fingers and things changed...

and i rmb when i was gg to submit my letter to withdraw from pjc tat time during pae...i rmb my teacher there asked me why and i told her tat i was only gg there to have a feel of jc life but i never had intentions to go jc cos i wanted to go into nyp dmd (the other reason being tat pjc was toooooo far for me)...and then she was smiling and said tat she was happy for me cos i know wat i want...and she gave me a ferraro rocher before i left...

apart from this big issue big enough to make a movie out of it...there are still so many questions tat lurk through my mind....

Void..

koko daniel msged me when he was at the airport ready to go back to jakarta tdy tis evening...i dunno why but when he msged me i just suddenly felt tat void in my heart...it took just a day of catch up yesterday to 'renew' tat closeness between us tat has been lost over the years...and then eventually he called me up to have a mini chit chat session before he boarded the plane...and when he finally had to hang up i started having tis void feeling...like how it just ended just like that...

partly cos he hardly comes here and i hardly go back to jkt now so its really hard for us to see each other...so i dunno when is the next time he is gg to come here again...so quite sian la...the last time he came here before this was last yr exactly a yr ago to celebrate cici dwi's wedding at tantor kucit's house...and even if he comes here next we might have our own busy schedules so its super hard to meet up...and somemore he only stays here for arnd 3 days nia (at most 4)...and it was quite hard to arrange this meet-up alr...but i thank God we eventually did la and im alr v grateful cos its a reli super rare opportunity to meet each other...and it turned out to be reli fruitful...=)

ok cya ppl...=)
