Yesterday went to the Black Earth Art Museum.
Went with a few of my illustration class people. Wee teng, clara, amanda, wen hao, adeline.
I'm very glad we went cos we got to discuss about art stuff and see awesome illustrations.
Sonny's art is just too awesome lah.
He was also selling his original comic art for $250 to 400 per page. WOW.
Alot of other paintings and illustrations were sold too.
Got one was very sci-fi- cum -fantasy. SOOOOOO DAMN GOOD!!

Then we stood at the booth looking through every page of the Pepper project art book and "wowowowowow!!" haha.

And i got a shock today.
Iida Kaori's, a former member of Morning Musume, son died at 6 mths because of some health prob. Something to do with the kidney i think. So sad man...
No wonder there wasn't much news about her baby when he was born.

My father came back from China and the house state goes back to 'normal'.
Toilet floors dirty, floors wet, house items wet, fridge door and tupperwares not closed properly, house messy like dunno wat and my parents room and toilet stink.
Me and my mother's blood boiled just after 1 day of his arrival.
We wished he stayed in China longer.
I can't imagine how his hotel room was like.

The house used to be so clean, tidy and stink-free.
Everyday i have to scold him but he doesn't listen.
Argh.

I'm sure you all are already bored of me frustrating over FYP, saying the same old thing like watching a goldfish swimming in circles in its fishbowl for 7 hrs.

But i'll just scream as many times as i like.

My mental state right now is like an aircraft tire filled with 800 psi of water pressure, ready to explode.
I saw my classmates' current work, and it feels like i haven't done any work at all.
I feel so discouraged.
It's becos i don't have enough self-discipline.

Where has my concentration power gone to?
TO THE BLOODY INTERNET.

I have pasted huge notes all over my room wall to remind myself to concentrate.
My family, especially my bro, are gonna LOL at me but i really need it.

I WILL CONQUER DEVIL'S TEMPTATIONS!!!!
GRRRRAAAAWWWWRRRRR!!!!!

My father's coming back from China tmr night! Like finally man... he has been there for 4 mths?
When he comes back, he better not use the common toilet = my toilet.
He messes the place up lah, i tell you.

My drawings have been slowly drifting to the manga world.
SHIT!!! CANNOT!!!!
You know i haven't been drawing manga stuff for the last 3 weeks man... i'm deprived!!!
I haven't been watching anime too!!! GAHHHH!!!
I need to be ORIGINAL!!!!!

Well in order to perfect this new style, i have to stop my manga style for a while, until next year.

I've managed to stay awake tonight thanks to my trusty fruit tea!
Coffee works for me too, but i'll get a severe headache when i drink it most of the time.
I consider it very lucky if i don't get one.
Oh yes, try ginseng! It also works very well! Yummy!

Gonna die tmr sia.
I feel that my sketches are lacking of alot of things.
I have to work extremely fast.
But... i keep drifting off to the internet. OMG severely addicted already lah.
*Bangs the wall*

Just watched the 1st episode of channel 8's new primetime drama "The Little Nonya".
I think it's very interesting! Lots of baddies and wicked women! hahaha!
Ok i don't like wicked women but that what makes the story interesting.

And good thing they entrusted a mute and deaf character to Ou Shuan.
I think the directors wanted her to improve on her never-improving expressions by making her character have disabilities.
She hasn't improved much since she started... it's like the same always.
Also, many viewers hate to hear her voice. Like my mother. xD

I think it's a great show to watch.
Just when i thought i finished the previous drama at 9pm "Bu Fan de Ai", i could have 1 more hr to work.
Oh well. haha. xDD

ok back to work!

Never been this stressed all my life in TP.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, went to the anime convention at suntec with esme, nellyn and evelyn on saturday.
It was crowded but not so crowded as the toy & comic convention.
Bought some stuff!

Today had family gathering-cum-house warming-cum-farewell party for one of my cousin.
I hate organising parties... ok i wasn't the one planning but i just hate taking part in the organising 'commitee'.
Well, becos of all of those mentioned, i didn't have time to draw out every single character designs.

Tp is going to kill me tmr i tell you.
Lecture his ass off. DIE.

But here's a sketch or rather, delibrate sketchy lines of my main character in the fictional city.
Tmr i'm gonna try colouring AND do 2 more characters. Die die also must do.

I'm in the middle of the development of FYP. So is my fellow friends in VSC too.
I'm working really hard to develop my own style and not the manga-ish stuff i used to draw.
Not only that but also how i can complete a full comic of my own in 1 mth.
I'm very excited about the project and am actually enjoying it, but i'm also very frustrated and stressed over it.
Dear Lord, please look after me. I will really need your guidance.
Pray that my friends will work hard as well.
We'll pull through!!

To Nadia, come back safe and sound from your trip to India!!!
I bet you'll take wonderful photos there! Can't wait to see them!

er ok enough. xDD
If only I didn't have any japanese exams!!!
I hardly studied for it lah!!! OMG!!
All i thought of and concentrated on was FYP!! ARGH!!

Last week's jap oral exam was so screwed.
Not very lah, i managed to remember my lines but i keep stammering and pausing.
And worst still, i don't even know whether my lines even made sense!!
My marks will be deducted like crazy man... for sure.

My kanji and vocab is the worst of the lot!!
Someone please input a kanji & vocab microchip into my brain!!!!

Speaking of Japan, Aaron FINALLY went to japan after lamenting on when he's going to go for the past... 2 yrs?? xDD
And he befriended a japanese in a yakitori bar lah!
Expected from an ang moh... dunno how they make friends so easily...
I know i couldn't... hah.

Read the news about the white tigers attacking the cleaner in the zoo.
All i can say is stupid.

He tried to commit suicide by getting bit by the tigers, very innovative and brave way to die man...
Who would be so stupid to barge in, wave his wooden stick in the air, and threaten the tigers?
The cleaner is a loon man... his behaviour is so obvious lah...
I thought he just didn't know and walked into the territory to clean up the place, but instead he was commiting suicide.

I'm glad that the tigers are safe and are not being put down. If they are, i will be sooooooo angry cos it's not their fault.

Er anyway, yesterday had 1st critque and jap compo test.
Chee yong said my main character migrated to japan. HAHA!
Very true, but i'm finding out a way to draw differently.
The compo was ok i guess... i knew what to write but sometimes i can't express it in jap.
And i keep forgetting how to write the kanji (chinese words)!!!

Obama's the new President of the US!! Whoohoo!

This is the 1st time i'm excited and happy about political news. Most of the time i just put it aside but I'm very excited about the future that Obama's going to bring.
I read McCain's future moves in the seat and it wasn't encouraging (to me at least). He plainly follows Bush's policies, so nothing much is going to change if he's elected...

Like Obama's going to end of Iraq war but McCain's not going to do anything abt it... which is nonsense...

Anyway, FYP is a PAIN IN THE A**!
It's just the beginning and i'm already bald. My crown is sparkling in the sunlight...
I need stress relievers and thought clearers fast.
TP and James confused me big time... so i really need to think through what i want to do and my strategies...

Also, i need to stay away from the internet... devil's temptations are haunting me to my limits man... i need to stop NOW or else i can't get anything done properly!!

STAY AWAY FROM THE INTERNET!!!!
