I can finally touch the com after two whole days of crazy assignment completion. I am such a procrastinator. Today was CANARY DAY! =D All the canaries had to wear yellow today. Or yallow as we like to pronounce it. Canary One is me, Canary Two is peiling and Canary Three is james. We met up early this morning at the studio to finish up our models. Rushed down just in time for Space and Form class. The yellow must be really eye-catching because there was this big BIG hoo-ha when we paraded in with our models. Hur hur. Canaries on parade. One of our lecturers, Tony Tan, said we looked like an association. Haha. This super elite secret society maybe!
Just a brief recap of what happened:
Friday - dinner with janny and her brother
Saturday - NEW HAIRCUT and clubbing at Dempsey Road
Sunday - crazy assignment completion
Monday - lunch with trin and homework completion in studios with the canaries till eight
Phew! Busy busy busy. So glad that's over!
don't you just love the canaries?

Despite the crazy workload, I'm really happy in school. I know I'll look back one day and wish to relive my whole poly education again. I've got set meet-up dates for almost the whole week:
Monday: Lunch with trin
Wednesday: Out with bestie
Thursday: Project Completion with classmates
Friday: Lunch with xin lei and foo hua
Yep, busy busy busy. But I'm lovin' it. Hahaha. =)
this is what dreams are made of

Had lots of fun today. Would have had more fun if all of my homework were completed. Played alot of pool at NSRCC. Picked up a few helpful tips from my uncle who almost went pro. I took all kinds of wacky pictures. =)
I've suddenly realised that I've been blogging past midnight for quite a few days. It's not because I'm living this wild-party-girl lifestyle though. It's because by the time I get everything done, it's past midnight.
I carelessly misplaced my file. And I didn't realise it until today. I've lost my hand-drawn floor plan and grid for tuesday's lesson which means I'll have to redo it. Darn. I haven't learned anything from wednesday's incident.
Here's what I have to complete:
6 different colour scheme palettes
6 different patterns with various colour schemes
2 3-D models made to scale
1 landscape sketch of fullerton
Drawing of school
3 weekly reflections
2 floor plans
1 A-4 grid
1 narrative essay on my shoebox exhibit
1 descriptive essay on my shoebox exhibit
Project development of my shoebox exhibit
Visuals on Architectural/Mood Lighting
I'm so screwed I tell you. Lynn, maybe I shouldn't have gone for that movie.

Really some people should just stop being childish and KIASU and LEAVE ME ALONE. I disliked him quite a lot already, he better not do anything more to make me hate him. I might just throttle him if anything else sarcastic in nature comes out of that awful mouth. He's just jealous because I excel at Digital Architectural Drafting while he doesn't.
Okay, back to happier topics. Had tons of fun shopping with bestie, amelia, ketsu and liang bao. Although the saliva bubble thing is really ew-ish. And I carelessly left my A3-sized folder in a shop. Thank goodness ketsu saw it or I would have lost my hand-painted colour chart and a whole stack of expensive cartridge paper. Took lots of photos of the scandalous towsome. Haha. Even had one shot of them ALMOST kissing. Looked at many pairs of beautiful dunks and helped choose a nice one for bestie. Be happy with your purchase yeah? It looks nice.
Thursday was slacking day. And so was today, or yesterday rather, it's past midnight already. I just came back from a movie, Batman Begins. Great show. Probably the best of the Batman movies. And to think I never did like Batman.

Today was a happy day. Haha. Even MTPre class was bearable. I'm also happy because I found the song I've been searching since forever: End Of Me by Marion Raven. It sounds so good. Totally groovy.
Tomorrow's my first lesson of Art Tuition. Yes, you read right, ART TUITION. I need it because I have no drawing foundation whatsoever. I have a humungous problem sketching interiors and structures when need calls for it. I take hours to come up with a completely misproportioned sketch.
Tomorrow's also shopping with bestie and her motley group of friends. =) I love Phantom Of The Opera: The Movie. I have probably played the song, Past the Point Of No Return, over ten times. It's just all Don Juan-ish and Spainish. Nice. I know I said I hated the movie before because the bad singing completely ruined it. But, after careful scrutiny, I've realised that Emmy Rossum (Christine) actually has quite a pretty voice. It doesn't show at first though. The Phantom's singing, however, is absolutely horrendous. The Masquerade segment is epic and grand. Really beautiful.
This is the last of illusions

My fingers have glue on them but I am still typing. =) Okay, I'm giving up on my Visual Composition homework because it is just hopeless. I did this nice background of blue skies and green meadows using magazine cuttings. When I arranged my tree on it, it got hidden. So I put my tree on a white background. Now I am left with plain blue skies and green meadows. I have NO IDEA what I am going to do with it.
Has been a crazy weekend of project completion. Save me, somebody. Anyway, Friday was good except that I was half an hour late for my fist class of the day. Architectural Drafting was challenging. We went at a much faster pace.
I look forward to term break. It will be seven full days of bliss, hopefully. Homework calls. Have to find some birds for my blue sky.
Eyecandy = YUMMY

My new nickname is ALOHA. Pei ling gave it to me. Apparently I use the word "hello" very often. For example:
"Hello? Why are people blocking the sculpture I want to sketch?"
"Hello? What is this? Why does the Merlion I'm drawing look like a dog?"
Had a gala-time today. Started the day with sketching of the Merlion along Singapore River together with Pei ling. Went surprisingly well. =) But I was supposed to sketch Esplanade Park. Had to change our plans because we were running away from dirty old men. Eeee...
ComDI presentation went smoothly. Then went for lunch with Pei ling and we sketched this sculpture together. Crapped around mostly. Couldn't get much work done. Haha. Her friend tattoo joined us. No, tattoo isn't some beng-guy, that is his nickname because his name sounds like tattoo in chinese. Hur hur. We went to queue up for free concert tickets. But the queue was so long we ended up not getting any. Was fun though. We were doing eh oompsah cheers while queuing. =)
You make me wanna lala...

I am eating watermelon that tastes like cardboard as I type this. Don't ask me why it tastes like that. I really do not know. But my mom is forcing me to eat it nonetheless. Snowy looks adorable today. =) And I had fun. =)
I was supposed to go to Sentosa with bestie and amelia but due to unforseen circumstances I had to pay a trip to the dentist. My gums started swelling up like balloons last night. I later learned that it was because of the awkward placement of my wisdom teeth. After a few painful jabs of local anaesthesia from the thick neddle I am absolutely terrified of and a few gargles of anitseptic rinse, the swelling and pain went away. I joined bestie and amelia for shoppping at Queensway.
Had tons of fun. Bestie was hyperventilating when I tried on this pair of strappy sandals. The kind which has really longgggg straps and you tie it all the way up to your calf. I guess my legs look hot in straps. Hur hur. Amelia couldn't bear to let go of this skirt she found. And we went earring-crazy at this shop called The Bead Place. Too bad I can't wear anything else except for silver and gold or I would have bought some retro earrings. Bought bestie a friendship band and my sis a spike-studded bracelet.
Had a gala-time at the SAF concert too. My only regret is that I don't know a single eyecandy who performed on stage. As opposed to Wednesday's concert. ^^ Bestie's friends are WILD. They were jumping into bushes at the road side and throwing their shoes onto the road. Funny but weird.

I really shouldn't be blogging. I have 18 drawings to complete. Design School is stressful. Whoever said poly was slack has obviously never studied in poly.
I am feeling really lonely. Mom and sis are out cycling. And bestie is busy with band and cip. =(
I really need to get a sash to complete my outfit for Monday's concert. Problem is I'm running low on funds. Darn. I suddenly remembered I still have Learning Journal and Lighting Study Assignment to complete. Gosh, will I ever get my work done?
I like the song "Feel Good Inc." by Gorillaz. Great song. They used the song for the background music in the Camp Refresh Video so everytime I hear it I get all nostalgic. And I start dancing too. Must be all that JAM & HOP influence.
Chalet on Wednesday at Sentosa. More nostalgia. Sentosa was where we had our night trail. Simply memorable.
Windmill, windmill for the land.Learn forever hand in hand.
Take it all in on your strde.
It is sticking, falling down.
Love forever love is free.
Let's turn forever you and me.
Windmill, windmill for the land.
Is everybody in?

Today went well. Pei Ling was struggling with AutoCad and Alroy went to her rescue. Haha. I think he likes her.
SAF concert on Monday. Hope I got the date right and it will be eyecandy galore like Wednesday's concert. =) Oh there's this new CCA in tp which is called Eyecandyers' Society. The president is Dr Felicia Ang who has a Master in Eyecandy Philosophy. Members of the society are to do up a weekly report with details like the eyecandy's name and admission number.
Haha. JUST KIDDING! The school will never approve of having such a fivolous and bimbotic CCA.
Felicia, you won't kill me for what I wrote right?

It's just the calm after the storm, I tell myself. Another's coming. I can feel it. What happened to the laughter and the joy? Is it lost forever? Everything is falling apart. Everything which was once so perfect. But I'll go on. Like nothing ever happened. Emotionless, indifferent, stoic.

With all the screaming, shouting and arguing, it really should not come as a surprise what happened today. Whatever it is, I shall just cease to bother. Become stoic and indifferent. Don't let these small, petty things get to me and upset me. "I don't care" shall be my new motto.
I am so effing stupid. I still feel extremely dumb and silly now. Somehow, I managed to get the concert date wrong. I received a call from bestie at around 7.20pm this evening and it went something like that:
bestie: WHERE ARE YOU?!
me: (rather stupidly) At home, why?
bestie: DO YOU KNOW THE CONCERT STARTS IN TEN MINUTES?!
me: (getting stupider by the second) WHAT? I thought it was on Friday?
bestie: I sent you many messages saying that it is today.
me: I didn't receive them.
bestie: It is TODAY.
me: Oh...no wonder...
bestie: Nevermind, nevermind.
me: I'm so sorry. I REALLY thought it was on Friday.
bestie: Nevermind...the concert is starting soon. You can't possibly make it on time.
me: Oh...ok...
bestie: Ok...bye...
me: Bye...
Truth is I almost cried after I put down the phone. I was so looking forward to attending the concert with bestie. Plus what happened earlier on in the day. For a moment it felt like the world was crashing down on me. Then I thought: Get a grip. If you really want to attend the concert, go then. Better late than never. You can arrive during intermission. So, despite bestie's protests, I dressed within record time, hopped into a cab and enjoyed the second half of the concert. I so owe you a drink + lunch/dinner, Dee. Not that buying you a meal and drink will make me any less stupid.
Yes, there's a new layout up. A rather experimental one. Thought I'll try something less structured. What do you think? Post your comments on the tagboard!
