sleep, sleep, sleep and more sleep...

well... that's what i've been doing lots these holidays... ironic that with more time, i have less time to actually do anything... like update my blog... hahaha... well... it's not that i haven't been kept busy during my oh-too-short waking hours... been wrapping up my video... been playing games on my pc... something which i haven't done ever since school started... chilled with great pals, imran and liza after helping liza out with her thesis which was really a down to the deadline thing... was to e-mail it by 5pm and we finished it at 4:58pm... so... yah... madness... but i like doing those kind of things... i see it as an involvement quite different from that which is required when doing art... well... not the kind i do when in school... but the kind i really do... where alot more of me is well... in the work... the thing with school is that they demand work and they want it way too fast to actually make the work any good in my usually high standards... passing the assignment is not a problem... satisfying my own vision of what my works are is... not many of my recent works are actually finished... they look finished only because i can make it look finished... it's all about the presentation i say... but they would have turned out quite differently if i had more time... now i am out of the mindset to actually finish them... so i just leave them as they are... as a testament to that particular point of time... i somehow always felt in letting a piece of work breathe... let it communicate with me and let me know what to do next... even when it is seemingly finished... that's why my better works take quite a long time to finish... not that i am lazy or anything... not with art at least... but i like to stand back and look at it... assess it... let it sit for a few days... and then continue work on it if i see fit... i can safely say that the last piece of major work that was actually finished was my 'a'level project... i can deem it finished because i cannot see other areas of developement or improvement without totally destroying it or the moment... my good friend hafiz might have something to say if he had seen it... but he didn't and well... the thing is dismantled now... don't know if the main piece is still stuck to the floor due to the excessive use of white glue... but yah... it's gone... all that's left are pictures of it which i proudly keep as a momento of my days in SRJC... now... that i have a bit... talking about SR... i have something to say about it... but i am quite hungry as it is now... and i have my burger from bazaar geylang which have been waiting for me in the kitchen... so... yah... i'll write about it in due time... later...


it's gold! it's gold! it's gold! it's gold! it's solid gold baby!


oh yeah...

it is here!

what's here? well... the fasting month that is... i kind of look forward to actually... i know some people dread it but i look forward to it so that i can be "good"... not to say that i am that bad but i just like to think that i need this month to keep some things in "check"...
ok... so school is almost out spare a drawing class or two and my only written exam on monday... i couldn't be really bothered about it... guess i'm going in with a "que sera sera" attitude... shucks...
guess it is a good thing that school is out... and the timing couldn't have been any better... i don't think that it would have been too nice to do work during the fasting month... not that i am not used to doing stuff during the fasting month (i had soccer training during it at one point of time in my life when i was younger and fitter and i went on patrol during it although it was cut short due to a motorcycle accident) but i prefer doing less... hahaha... anyways... these holidays come as a sure relief... it's been madness, school... not to mention exhausting and draining... but i think i have done good the past 4 months... now i can finally clean up my room and organise my portfolio... i can also take this time to refresh my ideas, inspiration, blah, blah blah... if i actually get down to doing such... me and my"can put it off to another time" syndrome... sigh... but i get the extra drive to actually finish someting when the deadline is breathing down my neck... hahaha...
so yah... i shall also use this holidays and fasting month to refresh old and neglected friendships... hafiz, imran and kris need to be "attended" to... old alliances need to be reaffirmed and well... i just need to get back to some people who have been (sadly and regretfully) sidelined during my wordly pursuits...
ok... so hafiz just called back (i called him just now) and i need to use the home phone because singtel is harping me to pay my outstanding bills... crap.. so yah... another time... cheers!

what the hell...

been a crappy week so far... tell you what... monday-the comp @ my school couldn't take my pt presentation... so it turned out sucky... then i stepped on some chewing gum on the way back from school... urgh! tuesday... hmmm... my uhu glue ran out @2120hrs... popular closes @ 2130hrs... ran like mad all the way there... and it was closed... and i did excellent time too... 4 mins from the gate of my house to the escalator @ singapore post... then stayed up all night to finish up some work... only to come to class on wednesday to have my project in pieces (can be fixed though) and have a lecturer who doesn't seem to be too bothered about my work... don't know if that is a good thing or otherwise... then at night... this one tops it all... while installling the stupid xp service pack 2... my comp pisplayed some weird error msg and it kept popping up... and there goes my comp... stupid... i thought ok... all my important stuff is in a seperate hard disk... then i suddenly remembered that i might have some reallly important (opinions might differ here) stuff on the hard disk i was going to fix... and i realised this only after i got things "fixed"... bummer... so the whole night was spent thinking how i can access to me "my documents" file and mourning the loss of the files after that... crap... only to realise that due to my paranoia, i had always saved my work on the other hard disk... urrggghhhh... so it's thursday now... i wonder what can go wrong... ok... got to got transfer some video thing...
