big smilez and hugz!

::jolina, terrance and i during lesson. big smiles!!!::


::ree and i at MAG NATION. big hugz!!!::
school's started and i'm well into my fourth week already.
i seriously cant believe how fast these 3 weeks
have past me by without any realization...
but so far, school's been good.
i have wednesdays and fridays off,
giving me loads of time to catch up with work
and to replenish any lost sleep.
it's also nice to see everyone back in school.
love their company.
love their crappy comments.
just love them.

but i'm freaking out on my theory unit...
i have essays to write!!!! ahhh!!!!
i'm a design student! i should be
exempted from writting essays!!!
i just handed in my 500 words essay...
the topic is abt critcal issues influencing design,
like propaganda, environment, ethics etc... not easy....
and yesh... i know most of you would be
saying that anything less than 500 words is not
considered an essay....
i'm a design student!

however, i'm really excited with this book
that i have to design for my graphic design studio.
yup, a real book!!!
perfect binding and all!
very very exciting!!!
it's a collaboration between a New Zealand Uni.
our works would be exhibited and there'll
be media coverage too.
so far, my progress with this book is going really well,
and i'm really proud with the results so far.
i'm designing some sort of a graphic story book,
with roughly about 34 pages.
so there'll be loads of illustrations and
not to meantion, a twist in the story as well. :)
the story's abt 'conscience', revolving ard 2 girls...
or is it 1 girl with 2 different scenerios?
well, it's up to the readers to decide.
and there'll be no text.
this is so becos this is graphic design,
it's important that i'm able to use illustrations
to convey my story/message.
it also gives room for readers to ponder
and interpret the story to their liking.
it's hard work, but i hope it pays off.


::me in front of the NGV, attending the Picasso: Love&War exhibition with lipei::
the National Gallery of Victoria(NGV)
is show casing Picasso's paintings!
the exhibition is called Picasso: Love & War 1935-1945.
it explores the personal and artistic relationship between
Pablo Picasso and his lover and muse of those years, Dora Maar.
over 300 works are displayed.
Picasso's and Dora Maar's intimate involvement started shortly
before the outbreak of the Spanish civil war in 1936 and lasted
through the turbulent years of the second world war.
Dora Maar was a talented photographer and was at the
centre of the Parisian avant-garde. the two lovers inspired
one another intellectually and artistically throughout
their time together.
and this exhibition is the end result of it all.


::lipei and i trying our best to get the both us in the frame, wif the picasso wordings behind us. hee~ not very good eh... ::


::i think this is the best of the lot. :) ::

::jenn, gibson, ah bee and i outside C.A.N. cafe::
i met up with jenn, gibson and ah bee for dinner.
we went to fish and co. which was really fun, and
then headed over to C.A.N. cafe for drinks and
a few rounds of tai di!

thanks guys for meeting up.


::me sticking out my tongue while watching the world cup at SIMPANG BEDOK.pic taken by fauz::
when i was back in singapore, it was soccer fever!
i love the world cup!!!
though of cos the teams i was supporting
didnt win... i still love them, and will continue
to cheer on for them.
i tried my best to catch most of the matches.
my dad was up all night watching every single match,
and i'm happy my mum subscribe for the soccer channel.
however, even though i could watch it at the comfort of my home,
i chose to watch most of the matches outside my place at the infamous
SIMPANG BEDOK. it makes a lot of difference when there's
a crowd cheering on.
screams of "goal",
sighs of dismay,
the clapping of hands,
good food...
i love the world cup!
and i hate a certain team...

::kai and i with Ronald Mcdonald::


::pic of mum and i. do i look like my mum? love her::
family dinners are a must when i go back to singapore.
these pictures were taken during the farewell dinner for me.
my uncles and aunties and cousins were all there.
apparently one of my cousins brought his girlfren along...
and his brother just got attached and showed everyone
his new girlfren's picture... bleth...
everyone must be thinking why i have never had a girlfren before...
then again... i think they are pretty tired asking me that...
cos the answer would always be, "i just dun have lor..." (-_-)"
get the hint my dear uncles and aunties!


::my bro, charlotte and i::


::er... fauz was supposed to be in the pic... apparently i accidentally cut him off while taking the pic... opps... not intentional ok... hee~ ::


::ok... now fauz's in the pic. pic taken by fauz::

with 2 submissions in a few days time, i'm hoping by then
i'll have enough time to upload more pics...
i know this entry came a little late...
blame it on the 500 words essay i had to write....
it took me a long time to get it done....
i'm a design student!!!
