Rusty

18 MAY 2013 - RUSTY THE CAT

I experience this unhealthy obsession for Ken's cat, Rusty. We share an immense love-hate relationship of me, trying to pat him, while he claws at me. Ken's always nice about it though, he sends me pictures of Rusty to cheer me up whenever I'm down. Close enough. So here's an entire gallery of photos of RUSTEHH. I don't normally caption my photos but #funfact, I like to commentate as I view adorable photos of animals.

Teenage kicks

10 MAY 2013 - NEXT TO ME
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
better days, googoo dolls.

How did you sleep well?

23 APRILE 2013 - HOW DO YOU SLEEP WELL?






I've explained to you the terms of which Sam and I have come to before on OOTD-ing, right? If you haven't already read, it's here. Today marks the final day (ever) in 2D class with Ina. We've had her for a year already. It definitely called for a reason to put on some suitable shoes, relative to those havaianas I've been flipflopping around so often.

Nonchalant

17 APRIL 2013 - NONCHALANT

To you; who feels weary.






"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. " 


- Coach Carter 

We've been chionging. Well, not really.

Scanning



In a way, I find it rather therapeutic, doing work alone in the 2D digital lab. Got carried away while scanning my monoprints. The sem's coming to an end in about 2-3 weeks. Can't wait for the "summer holidays" (very pretentious, I know). Hang in there peepz~

Love


Being in love is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. It is a noble feeling, but it is still a feeling. No feeling can be relied on to last in its full intensity, or even to last at all. Knowledge can last, principles can last, habits can last; but feelings come and go. 
But of course, ceasing to be ‘in love’ need not mean ceasing to love. Love in this second sense is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will, deliberately strengthened by habit and reinforced by grace. [Partners] can have this love for each other even at moments when they do not like each other; as you love yourself even when you do not like yourself. They can retain this love even when each could easily, if they allowed themselves, be ‘in love’ with someone else.
- C.S. Lewis

Something I got from theunevenchopsticks.wordpress.com - the sweetest, most delightful blog shared between Xanthe & Zach.

SBS day


edit: In the likes of very terrible photo quality lighting, you might have realised that I've swopped our previous adiasam&amandainaband photo to some other retarded shots. 
 / / / / /
Have I told you lately that I... love the three gals. and yes, we're still called Adia, Sam and Amanda in a band - or however order you want to place it. The School of Biological Science(SBS) people, however, call us the ADMers. Was blessed with another gig for their SBS day. Sang songs like A-Team (hence the lyrics on hand- I swear, those lyrics are a killer, but sshh), Can't Help Falling in Love, Pumped Up Kicks and many others. We were fairly unprepared because it was literally crunch time for all of us... but Sam and Adia did a splendid job scatting and doing their amazing runs. Till next time~ 

Post gig make-up.

Idk why I put all my hair up.
but anywayyyzz have a good weekend! or rather, what remains of it.

I'm just slabbing on multitudes of black+white acrylic


You've probably seen this on my instagram previously; but anywho~ 
Don't get me wrong, Woon Lam's drawing class is nothing but intensive; but no doubt, we learn a lot. He teaches us how to achieve chiaroscuro like painting, anatomy, tonal differences. Last (last) week, we were doing this exercise that required us to paint over photos (so if you see the first photo above, it's actually a printed out sheet that we're supposed to "chiaroscuro paint" over). Next week's class is on watercolour. Can't wait for our bittersweet 4 hour classes with him.

For the week


Be Kind, for Everyone is fighting a hard battle.
Tumblr does make a lot of sense. I've conformed long ago. 
Don't give up just yet.

edit#1: Ok. I'll fix my blog layout later. Too busy dying from Art History now.

It's too princessy for me LOLZ

Impulse buy of the century from H&M. 
Bought during the Christmas season because I apparently wanted to look like a disco ball.
Came home and ask myself: 
When am I ever going to wear a bodice/glitter top + chiffon pleats dress? 
Any takers? Brand new with tag. Size 36.
Email me at manda.lim92@gmail.com if interested!

Again


Last day of Recess Study week.
We're going to BKK during the "summer vacation (which also means end of acad year holiday)"
So. Excited. Only thing I look forward to.

-Away-


Homesick (like really, homeHome, not hall). Stuck here on my single week of break studying/rehearsing for Hall Production. Got me thinking about how next acad year will be like if they kicked me outta here. I'll miss this communal living, relatively OK korean BBQ food, not making my bed till when I'm about to sleep, and the lovely lovely sunsets.

Transparency


Gimme a break. I'm just obsessed with this print now ok.
I have nothing constructive to say.
soundless sound
by Amanda Lim 

I sat; a room of silence, myriad of clamor.
painting lines and shapes, forming loops and pictures.
But salt and water came to rain on their parade
pittar pattering

my lines - still there.
pictures - still there
loops

So there, I sat once again
with my pinky tracing them, their trail vanishes
into the noisiest silence ever.
