stop moping, life is colourful

After reading posts after posts of KIRSATOMIC's blog and surfing deviant art the whole day, i was in a pretty arty farty mood today! So i spent like freaking half the day drawing this piece:

I know it looks super easssssyyyyy but trust me, the colours took me FOREVER. especially since i was doing all in pen. God i need to start digging up my water colours.

I shall aptly title this piece with an ultra corny and cliche name:

Stop moping, Life is colourful.

hahahhahahaaa...

my right hand is aching, i need a cast now

Drawings

Recently, I've been reading http://www.krisatomic.com/blog/ and have been hooked hooked HOOKED!

I love how she takes lovely pictures of things that inspire her and her extremely cute drawings and illustrations. I'm so inspired by her flare for art and pretty things that I'm going to post my drawings online too! One of my favourite hobbies is to draw; and i find huge joy in designing cards for people. I love to draw people, plants, flowers, animals, wordings and basically anything that i get inspiration from. I don't think my work is awesome or anything but drawing helps me get through emo times , makes me happy and every piece that is nice gives me a huge sense of satisfaction.

Here are some pieces from my scrapebook:

This was inspired from a piece named " Prada" by James Jean . He is ultra talented and the Prada pieces he did decked out the walls in Soho and Beverly Hills Prada stores. Check out his work here: http://www.jamesjean.com/

This was something i drew, inspired by my one of my favourite bands, Lifehouse. And its titled, Blind

The next few are comic pictures from Fables: Bluebeard and Rose Red

My first attempt at drawing comics, the proportions are abit weird but yeaaaaaaa.....

Picture of a Lily. Because its done in pencil, its not exactly captured well on camera

OO and my recent drawing i did yesterday, the naked goddess. Its halfway completed, still have to do more line work and colouring but decided to put it up because i took like FOREVER to draw it!!


And i managed to take a picture of one of the cards i drew for Fooky (:!


Yeap , till my next piece of art. (:

Yesterday, i asked someone a question and she gave me the most simplistic yet thought provoking answer. If i dwell on you this minute and mope around, this time wasted will never come back. I might as well do something with the time that will enrich my own life, instead of blowing up fantasy proportions in my mind.

7 more weeks to the end of school

The past few weeks have been ultra busy; with full day lessons ( which require me to reach impossibly on time ) and classes that burn into the weekend. Cramping in time to study, star-tutoring, and weekly meet up with friends admist the horrible school schedule took up so much of my energy that i was yearning for my long awaited holidays.

The hols are finally here. But now that i have so much brain juice to spare and nothing that stressful to keep myself busy with ( minue the cells i waste on the olympics; Go china go!) , reality is slowing sinking in. In 2 months ( 7 weeks to be exact), I would have completed my hospitality course at UNLV. Its been 2 years already?

In other words, after 7 weeks this is what's going to happen:

• I have to say hello to working for the rest of my life!! ( unless, like i always say, i marry an ultra rich husband who can afford to buy me mini cooper(s), make me the VIP at paragon's walk of fame and allow me to play MJ all day long. But then again, we all know that if your husband is THAT rich and buys you that many things it Must be because he is having an affair(s) and you're giving birth to sons for him )


• I have to start paying taxes and contributing to my CPF


• My mum is not going to give me allowance anymore. i have to buy everything myself. boo hoo


• And she threatens to make me pay rent. WTF


• I bid farewell to weekdays. oh the perks of weekdays shopping :(


• No more student rates ( can't save on hair cuts, movie tickets, Mc Donalds ...SHIT)


• A thorough change in my wardrobe. ---> i hate G2000 i hate G2000!!


• Lesser time for family and friends??

i'm not going to think further, because i'm starting to feel the room closing in on me. hahhaa...the thing is, i'm pretty bad at transitions. From pri to sec school, sec sch to poly , relationship to relationship, Singapore to china and so on, i take quite a while to get adjusted. This is so not going on my resume ( i just named one of my strengths as being HIGHLY VERSATILE. LOLLLLLL) .

And this transition will by far be the most permanent and one of the most significant. I'm quite sure i'm going to miss school life and I'm really not prepared to leave this comfort zone. plus, i have so many questions, like where i have to settle my internship and what type of job i want to even apply for. I'm not emo, i just feel direction-less. Urgh, does every graduate feel like me, or does everyone know what they want?

I know that in time to come, like the Chinese saying" quan dao qiao tou ji ran zi", when the boat hits the harbour it will become straight? er okay whatever, but anyway, in the meantime, i realize that every single step im taking now is propelling me one step towards a certain future. I sure hope im taking the right steps in the right direction.

Well, everyone has to start working one day. And i guess, that horrid reality is going to come true very soon for me. So for now, i'm going to cherish my remainding 7 weeks of school and make use of every student privilege available to me. hahhaa

* I pray that God will help me find the right path

I'm not crazy about the Olympics but i'm blown away by these pictures of the Grand Opening:

Fantastic symmetry

God, i LOVE this picture..its so good it looks computer generated

The only thing i'm i try to watch consistently is gymnastics. Total mental and physical self control and determination. and lots and lots of biceps! hahahaa I feel so proud for China, i hope they bring back all the golds and make all of us proud :D



Anyway, the only other thing that could beat the awesome pictures of the grand opening are pictures of Lucy Liu draped in Haute Couture delivering theatrical worthy fashion shots for HARPERS.:

I absolutely love this dress.....................!!! Dior Haute Couture dammit.!

And this blue piece from Christian Lacriox .....the fucking amazing details.

Dolce and Gabanna, and i would swear, if that US$2850 Chanel bag was mine, i would NEverrrrrrrrr everrr swing it like that.

And un-surprisingly, the fashion editor for this photoshoot is Rachel Zoe, whom i would, without question, hire IMMEDIATELY to be my personal stylist if i'm loaded.

2 more days to my holsssssss!!!!! :D:D:D:D

whopeeeee!!!

i pray for self control

Crazy for Love & Fookys bday

Recently, i read an really inspiring article in Naked i, the magazine published by Campus Crusade. The article was titled " Crazy for Love" and in it, the writer talked about her quest for finding love and looking for the right one. Unfortunately, she always either met the wrong guy or fell for those who weren't interested in her. Just as she was about to give up and resign to feeling this way for the rest of her life when she realized that she was looking for love in all the wrong places.

This is the whole abstract from the article:
-----------------------------------------
A few years back , i was in Thailand, and a few of us took a truck up the mountains. At that time, i had just gradudated from university, boyfriend-less, and my future seemed so uncertain.

I stood on a ledge that overlooked the valley of Chiang mai, saw all the dots of cars on the roads and even tiner specks of heads walking along the streets. Suddenly, i sensed him telling me " i care for each and everyone of these millions that you can see , and so many more that you can't see- just like i care for you. I know what your life will be like, and the joys and pain you will go through. i know how much you need to be loved, and i am here for you. Trust me. Let me love you " .

His love was there all along- i just never quite understood it. He loves and accepts me, even with all my imperfections and insecurities. I can't understand why he loves me so, when i truly don't deserve it, but he just does.

Some days, i must confess, i forget about him, and get caught up in my usual feelings of feeling unwanted and unloved. But he always waits for me to remember that i have him in my life and he's going nowhere.

He completes me.

---------------------------------------
After reading this article, i just felt overwhemled with gratefullness. Because, for a very long time now, i have actually had the greatest love of all, but i was just too distracted to realise it.

Anway, on a different note, its Fook's bday today!!!! YET AGAIN ! I remember i started this blog about a year back just after Fooky's 21st bday. Time really flies. I love you fooky..change is the only inevitable thing on earth but i'm so glad our friendship has remained (:
