OMG I just installed this AWESOME EPIC...THINGYMAJIGG where you basically sort of write on it. Like, you write chinese on this tablet/glass panel thing and chinese characters just...um...appear...on the screen? Yeah.
我剛裝好了蒙恬書寫!!! (for those of you who don't know chinese, it basically means the paragraph above.)
See? It takes very little to make moi happy :)

Hey people!
Throughout my half-year art drought I still managed to make this in art class.
It's a clear sphere with acrylic on it, and it's inspired by Dick Termes, who draws amazing stuff on these spheres which are now dubbed "termespheres". Anyway. Gotta stop myself before I drone on forever about art history. :)
Yes, that's a lot of pictures. No, I'm not an egocentric, self-loving maniac. (or am I? >:D)
See you guys soon :)

Hello people.
We meet again.
I didn't post much here for a while because I was really busy changing schools and stuff, but now I'm all settled and heeeheeeoaeiof;iHEEHEE :D *violent laughter*
Sorry.
Anyway. The art program in my new school is SO. MUCH. BETTER. than the one in my previous school! This is a sketch done in chalk pastel. It's basically a section of one of the Australian artist Bruce Sherratt's works which we had to copy for homework. I am now IN LOVE with using chalk pastel. The powdery specks on the paper, smudging with a finger, mixing a galactic number of colours for a tiny part, vibrant hues...absolutely amazing medium. :D
So yes. That's it. Toodlydoos!

I'm exhausted.
I literally feel like I'm dropping my brain cells everywhere I go.
My christmas wishlist used to be something like
1. Mac
2. iphone
3. ipad
4. makeup
5. food
6. otherawesomestuffliketypewritersandvintagenecklaces,
but now it's just
1. sleep
2. more sleep
3. can i just run away and sleep my whole life?
"Sleep is the nourishment of life" -shakespeare
So it's another late night and I'm up doing my geography. Just figured out my contour lines don't make sense. Don't want to make an effort to make them make sense. (does that make sense, or am I so tired that I'm delusional now?) And worried that I'm slacking too much because I'm not wanting to make any effort to make the contour lines make sense.
Oh god.
Anyway. -10 mins later- Just finished debate mini-presentation. With any luck, I'll be awake enough to deliver the words without too much drunken stuttering/overdose of coffee tomorrow at debate training.
OH MY @#$%ing FUDGE.
I JUST FOUND OUT I FORGOT TO DO MY CHINESE WORKSHEET.
okay !@#$ this, I'm just going to pretend I didn't know.
Now goodnight. I need my five hours of sleep. (pitiful, I know)

Epic Conversation. Shakespeare Style.
Me: that's just masoschistic torture.
Ain't that epic?
It's the progeny of when boredom meets procrastination meets facebook meets the hyperness of seeing someone on. :)

Retro. Rants. Randomness.
I have a very bad habit of taking normal pictures, giving them a few effects, and passing them along as extremely artistic masterpieces. However, I will indulge you in these crappy extremely well thought-out creations, partly because I feel guilty for not posting in a while (don't blame me...I didn't have art to post coz art class starts again in March and I left all my half-done pieces there :O) and mainly because I feel the pressing urgency to share with you poor people my obsession with Retro-ness.
I firmly believe that giving a photo a Sepia tone will somehow automatically make the photo "retro." An alleyway, a flower, any random thing is - of course - a GREAT object for a retro photo that will stir the deep depths of the soul and tug at the heatstrings. Just because of the retro-ness. Right? Right?
Because, to me, artsy photography constitutes of snapping a pic of - anything, really - and then giving it some effects, I do therefore (sometimes) feel undeserving of calling that picture a proper "photo." It's almost like I feel like I'm not trying hard enough...and then I berate myself for thinking that way. I mean, you're supposed to ENJOY photography, right? Not WORK for it.
Ah, I don't know. I mean, I DO know that I'm rambling now. So I'll stop. Because I am just that considerate.
What do you think? Anyway I will stop talking now and just get on with it...;) Be prepared to be astounded in my great awesomeness. (read: patheticness)

Okay, this is the most pathetic one ever. But I like it. I looove it. Coz I am a GOOD MOTHER and I LIKE MY CREATIONS. Anyway it's supposed to be a girl amid the clouds.
This one looks slightly more pro. It's...uh...an alleyway somewhere. (that takes all the pro-ness away, doesn't it?) It's a bit reminiscent and it's really bright, unlike the normal retro alley pics, which is why I like it.
Suitcase of Memories. A girl (me XD) is sitting on suitcases. Supposed to be reminiscent. Again. It's like, revisiting your memories and your journeys.
Best Owner Ever. Yeah, that's the title. Coz I'm the only owner in the world who would tie a stuffed monkey on my cat's back.
What? It amuses me.
Tension. The cat is waiting, just waiting, to pounce on the stuffed monkey after she managed to wrench it off her back (despite my many attempts to put it back on). Unfortunately, she is a lazy cat and she didn't end up pouncing or chasing at all. She just sat there and waited. And waited. And went back to her basket to take a lil nap.
That's it for now...that's my cat saying bye with her flexed paw and the matte effect and the retouch on the sides and the boost effect and the - *dies from being out of breath*
Cya! Whatdya think?

Howdy!
A (very. very. VERY.) belated Merry Christmas to you all...
and of course, Happy New Year!! Have a great 2011.
Weeee...time flies, doesn't it? I really can't believe that's a year already :O This is my third month into blogging, and it really is quite awesome :p Anyway. Here are my New Year Resolutions (yes I know they are ten days late. But if you know me at all, I'm always...whaddaya call it, FASHIONABLY LATE :D)
1. Stop getting distracted by the cat, the computer and the kitchen. Basically, stop getting distracted by anything that moves/generates sound/fills my appetite.
2. Finish everything within the time I set for myself. Which will happen once I get to #1.
3. Be nicer. Let my cat trample over me when I'm lying on the floor doing emergency sit-up sessions to make myself feel fit (blame my low self-esteem :p).
4. Have fun. Stop being a beat-up, malfunctioning Toyota in overdrive. My current circumstances is overworked, underpaid (actually, NOT paid. at all. pity students don't get money for studying), underprivileged (sort of...not really...FINE. maybe not underprivileged.) and overstressed.
5. Stop overcompensating for my procrastinating habits by staying up at night trying to finish everything that I should, really, have finished in the daytime (but did not due to failure in complying with #1).
6. Invent the 25th hour in a day. THEN I might be able to cram blogging and art in. Or maybe I should just have better time management?
7. Stop being such a jealous green-eyed neurotic monster. It's alright for someone else to get a bit of praise while you don't.
Me now (this is an UNTRUE, FICTIONAL example. just for the record.)-
A to B: Your skin's awesome, you only have 15 freckles!
Me: ~counts my freckles~ DANG. I have 16.
After I stop being the jealous green eyed neurotic monster I am now:
A to B: Wow your Agnes B toothbrush looks nice.
Me: ~looks at hello kitty toothbrush~ It's okay, hello kitty is still in with the younger 3 year old crowd. I am still hip and awesome. I AM STILL HIP AND AWESOME!
8. Stop giving a mumbled reply that doesn't make sense when, really, I just couldn't catch what the speaker said.
Me now:
A to me: (garbled gobbledeedook)
Me: Uhmm. uhh. Yeahhh. (pause) Duh. Don't you?
A: *huh?*
Me in 2011:
A to me: (garbled gobbledeedook)
Me: Pardon?
9. Improve chinese. My chinese is at a very. elementary. level. "貓很肥, 食到死". (My cat is fat and eats till it dies)
10. Post more artworks instead of long rambles here. Which i will do RIGHT NOW, since it's 2011 already and I'll have to get started on these resolutions if I actually want to have a shot at doing all of them. So here:
