18 MAY 2013 - FEET HAVE OFFICIALLY RESIGNED FROM BRAIN

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.
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in stringsAnd desire and love and empty thingsJust a chance that maybe we'll find better days




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.

"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




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~

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

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~

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.
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.
