HAHAHAHAH

DEAR GOD!!!!!!!! WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!

The Problem With Wikipedia

Hahaha I thought that was so cute and nerdy.

Ok as usual I woke up late today - I never used to. I was never late to school when I was in Singapore! What has happened to me. Bad habit I must get rid of. Let's not overanalyze here.

OMG I LOVE THOSE SMALL COMIC THINGS SO MUCH AHAHHAHAHAHAHA they're so cute. 

"I like you, you make me laugh", said he

Friday is just three quarters of an hour away!!

AND I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO BE HAPPY ABOUT LA! DAMNNNNNNNNN

APPARENTLY I MIGHT BE QUALIFIED WITH MY FRIENDS TO GO TO PRAGUE AND MUNICH IN THE SUMMER FOR ART HISTORY OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!! Perfekt day.

I feel like a perv

So anyway I have spent a good deal of time flipping through pictures and editorials and ripping out pictures of Freja. And I feel like a perv. Her body is so perfect and she is skinny as hell. Like a little kid. Sometimes I feel that she's so young she shouldn't be exhibiting her body and that she shouldn't be working. Not yet anyway.

Oh before that can I post some pictures of her (Damn it I'm definitely a perv no doubt about it).

Fierce bitch

So unfair.

Who wants to be exhibited to the inhibited?

On another note, today I had the privilege of staying behind in school till late. Lo and behold! I stepped on the 8th floor of the library building for the first time and I visited my friend in the sewing lab. Fashion department = crazy. Hardworking fucks. I was so impressed and I have to admit that my view of them changed so much after that visit. How naive I was. I had always thought the fashion kids were just shopping freaks with.. Artsy inclinations. And stronger inclinations to exhibit their artsy inclinations. (I am starting to not make sense). 

There my friend was.. Crouched over the Singer sewing machine. In a sewing lab. At god-knows-what-time. She was trying to thread the needle, and she tried and she tried and she tried again. When I offered to help, she just said she wanted to do it for herself. I felt quite taken aback at the sheer determination! I know it's kind of stupid and lame, but her small gesture really symbolizes her effort in school altogether. Then I stepped out of that sewing lab.. And then I saw a guy wearing some ugly Ed Hardy shit top to toe with True Religion jeans. He looked just like another stylo milo dude who doesn't care about school.. But he was there. Ironing. Ironing a size 8 A-line skirt. He ironed with such great concentration, smoothing out every crease on that skirt. 

The walls outside the classroom had posters and magazine cut outs of graduates' work and undergrads too. There were just some pictures of Irina and Daul Kim modelling some of the garments in NY Fashion Week.. And I must say that if I didn't know better, I'd have thought Francisco Costa made some of the dresses for Calvin Klein Collection. Or Tsumori Chisato for another person's portfolio.

I'll really try to get my hands on some of the fantastic pictures soon, if anyone still bothers to read.

Oh no, I'm suddenly depressed because everyone is working their skinny asses off in school. I have got to try.

I. HAVE. GOT. TO. TRY.

Everything before the word 'but' is irrelevant

Inka and I had an adventure today. Well, not really. We went to Haight St and we shopped for CDs and a lot of other irrelevant shit. Case in point: Ben and Jerry's.

SO anyway call me chink or lianz or whatever but I found faye wong's album that my sister used to play when I was like, 6 or 7. And then she lost the album and I looked so hard for it it was kind of the anthem of my youth you know? I mean my childhood. A lady with a beautiful voice singing words of wisdom (I presume - I didn't and still don't understand Cantonese). Across the world, here, in Amoeba store on Haight district full of the peripatetic lot (here I am again trying to be politically correct). In the discount bin! $3.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is true. What you like, you'll find again.

And we saw Be Kind Rewind and Gondry has surpassed himself again! Well, no, I think Eternal Sunshine is still better. But the film left me profoundly touched and I started believing in human goodness again! For about 10 minutes or so. But me! Of all skeptics, me! I teared a little. The movie was dumbed down by Jack Black but it is not necessarily a bad thing. As far as my humble opinion goes, you guys have to see it.

I don't have much to say today. Except that I am going to master how to sing FW's Cantonese album despite the translation problems. I should be able to pick it up fairly quick. After all my dad's as loud as any self-respecting Cantonese should be, and I love mango pudding and mango sago (and they're desserts from Hong Kong)..

New(ish) Beginnings

I know, it's the end of February already. We are, however, still in the first quarter of the year. God still takes applications from the Sinners.

And I am she.

I read somewhere, that what you like, you'll find again.

Today I spoke to my cousin and my friend and they all agree that I should re-do my blog because.. Just because. To be honest, I don't have a point to make right now, except that school is sucking my bones dry, like the Japanese did the Thais back in the World War 2. No I am being a rude insensitive bitch by saying that.

Like Calista says on her facebook status (okay lah I sellout bitch also) :

"It is sad to forget who you are"

And what can we do but hang our heads in shame.

Day 11 of Color and Design

YAY 2 more days to Erin's birthday! After which, 2 more days to the end of Winter Intersession! After which, 2 more days to real school! After which, 2 more days to Janice's birthday! After which, 1 more day to Awan's birthday! After which, 2 more days to Stacia's birthday! after which, 3 more days to Adeline's birthday!

OH FUCK my social calendar is really full right now! I am a social butterfly man. An artsy one at that. Let me go put the dates down in my moleskine diary. Kidding lah. Kidding lah. And I am going to be so broke this month.

I forgot I had a blog until.. Until just now and I see people have started spamming me. Actually only Vewry spamming me lah ok I not so popz pplez cum hEre and sPam miExz.. Worx. How do you use that expression "worz"?

Okay I still have homework to get to so when I have time (never), I am going to come back here and post pictures and whatnot.. 

p/s: if The Diving Bell and the Butterfly ever plays in Singapore, you all have to go see it. This is not a friendly suggestion but a not-so-gentle reminder of our collective love for great movies. VewryAnnz and Ongky you hear me? DAMN GOOD MOVIE I PROMISE.

Day 2 of Color and Design

Nothing very much to report. Except that I spent US$550 on my Color and Design starter kit. Fucking gouache costs so much. I want to import poster paint from Singapore. Those that you can buy from Coronation meant for Nanyang Primary kids. Those ones that cost 1.90 SGD per bottle. Those that don't have Series A-Z. Those that are synthetic and cost all the same.

Fucking school costs so much. Opportunity costs run high.

Opportunity cost : The next best alternative forgone when a choice is made. TBS (Tan Boey Sey not Taking Back Sunday) & Miss Soong Y.Y must be proud of me. 

I realised I haven't posted an entry about New York yet. New Yawk was cold and cold, and I think cold? -10 degrees when I arrived and only became warmer when I left? On the bright side, I met Xinxin and her boyfriend (finally!) and that was most likely the highlight of my trip. We ate yogurt ice cream with mochi topping and we had to make her sister my beloved LOAF jealous. I think X sent Q a picture of our ice cream. Serves Q and Val right for giving me that Christmas gift. Present or chore? HAHAHAH but i liked it.. Down to the giftwrap. Loved it friends.

I wish I had more things to say! More meaningful things I could talk about, because I am always inspired by people who write well, like my lover/pal Ong.

So let me just complain about Winter Intersession and my class in general. The class is called Color and Design and basically we learn everything about the usage of color in designing (doh). We are making 100-200 swatches everyday.. And today I was supposed to come up with abstract design pieces. To the abstract artists I always mock and belittle, I apologize! I realize it is probably harder not to see things in the art they create. IT IS SO FRUSTRATING. Anyway I am going off on a tangent. This class is apparently the hardest class we will ever have to take. AND... it is supposed to be a 6-month class but I am taking it in 15 days. You like? I like. I am already dispirited on the 2nd day. What a shame. One week's worth of homework due everyday. What the fuck did I get myself into? :(
