:'D

It seems that my brother and I were not fond of each other
ever since the medieval times hahahahaha

:D

CAMERA SHY BOY.

TETA

hahahaha we kept playing this while working on our paintings
it has become.. OUR WORK SONG

Applied Drawing Final Painting!!

Met up with Shane on Tuesday to buy materials at ArtFriend!
bought a couple of paintbrushes, spray paint, wooden boards, palette knife..
and it cost us a total of $121 O.O
lugging the heavy boards all the way to school
we began working on our panoramic artwork!
started by painting a black base for all the boards
it was exhausting :O

Shane painting the river black hahaha

my ammo!

I then took out my existing stash of acrylic paints and tried to paint something out,
but it didn't look good at all
we wasted several hours trying to figure things out
until we decided to just go out and have a break.
but when we came back, everything seemed clear!
we were back on track and everything went very smoothly :D

finally managed to come up with something decent :D

shane's spaceship lookin' good!

We then decided to call it a day
and went back home to have a mini celebratory supper
we then went to Drive 1 to have Bar Chor Mee!
after living in Pasir Ris for almost all my life,
i never knew that they had such yummy noodles!

the pork ribs was really yummy

We then went back again on thursday night to do some final touches to our paintings
Shane had to use spray paint thus we formed this barricade to shield Peng Fong from 'the blast'
haha it served its purpose rather well :)

hahaha our barricade

we had to scour the entire art room for random objects to use as stencils
it was tough using spray paint as the results were rather unpredictable
The entire process took so much longer than expected :O
but after countless hours, it was finally complete!
our perseverance paid off woohooooo!!

adding details

Shane with his very first painting!!!
I think it looks damn awesome!!

And this is my final painting! :D
together with all the random sketches we did in class ^^

After which we had a short 40minutes nap before it was time to present our works!
hahaha we were like zombies, our eyes could barely open
but thats a norm when it comes to finals hahaha
we had yummy cupcakes! courtesy of our teacher Davis Vu
it was awesome to see what everybody came up with
each with their own distinct style!
haha and we had to promote our works to our teacher
and it was sure nerve-wracking!
Thankfully Shane gave me some valuable tips
i think i did quite well despite my nervousness! :D

After everyone has presented,
it was time to take photos!!
hahahaha the bubbly Jeanette went around to all our works to pose
and i was the photographer hahahaha
gosh we had such a good time laughing ourselves silly

And last but not least, a mini group photo with our favorite teacher Davis Vu!!
(hes the one in yellow if you're wondering)
hope to keep in touch with him, so inspiring :')

It was definitely an enjoyable experience :) gonna miss it!

Bat For Lashes – All Your Gold

Sweet Nothing

Paramore: Still Into You

HAHAHAHAHA

Time to loose weight!

Been having very unhealthy eating habits the past few months,

playing computer games and eating non stop

and as they always say "your body is a reflection of how you're treating it"

and yup it does shows alright

i look so fat and unhealthy right now

thus explains why i haven't had a single photo of myself at all

so i decided that i've to put an end to this

cause i really don't like how i look right now.

came up with this plan

to "report" whatever you eat to someone you can trust,

in my case would be Stanley

take for example, if you're going to the fridge and thinking of eating a bar of chocolate

the thought of having to report that you're going to eat a bar of chocolate

instantly makes you think twice

and you'd leave it.

it works for normal meals as well,

lets say if i was about to buy a bowl of laksa

the thought of having to report it makes me change my mind

and i'd go for a healthier alternative.

It may sound silly but so far it's working out great for me

I've cut down alot on my food intake 

as well as completely stopped snacking.

just make sure that the one you're reporting to won't get annoyed by your messages!

hahaha

oh and im thinking of trying out this Insanity Workout thingy

Stanley's doing it, i shall join in too >:D

Happy 23rd Birthday to Me!

Birthday Dinner with my family!
Felt like Chinese New Year round 2 hahaha

Korean BBQ buffet!! yummyyyy 

My 23rd birthday was such a pleasant surprise for me!
initially i thought i'd just be having a very mundane birthday cake
and the day will just pass me by like every other day.. #foreveralone

But to my surprise My future in laws treated my family for dinner!
and my sister and her BF bought this fruit tart/cake for me!
the plastic knife they provided broke due to the crust hahaha
had such a nice dinner with my family
the look of happiness on my parents' faces
if only they could be happy for me as well
oh wells, fat hope haha.

On my birthday itself I went out with Stanley
to the Korean BBQ buffet at Tampines1!
Although the variety isn't much but the quality is definitely there!
My favorite would be the bacon, so yummy but so sinful
thus i had to limit myself ><
nevertheless the food was really yummy!
would recommend it if you're a meat lover

And also not forgetting the Birthday wishes from all my friends
ahhh so much love :D Thank you all!!
oh oh and i'd be going out with Shane, Juu and Pengfong this saturday for dinner!
after our horrible mid terms tomorrow = =
Can't wait!

sketches!

random sketches on a long and boring train ride ><

WHY IS EVERYBODY SO TALENTED!

I'm so stressed out by something that i shouldn't even be stressed about!
why is the world so fucking talented!!
i just spent two whole hours looking at other people's artworks
and every single work that i saw just made me feel even more depressed
in just two days id be 23years old,
TWENTY THREE, and i've yet to accomplish anything!
i've to achieve something big by the end of this year,yes
2013, just wait and see!

woah

i wish i could animate like this ><

Taylor Swift - I Knew You Were Trouble

Kim Jung Gi

how awesome can he get???
and my idol actually 'liked' my painting on FB
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
hahahahaha i can feel his amazing aura through that 'like'
pardon the fanboy moment, im gonna print it and frame it up HAHAHA.

Florence & The Machine - Seven Devils

Seven devils all around you 
Seven devils in your house 
See I was dead when I woke up this morning, 
And I'll be dead before the day is done 
Before the day is done 

Beautiful Creatures

Was just wandering around J8 with Stanley where we decided to catch a movie
however the movies that were screening didn't really appeal to us
thus we just randomly decided to watch "Beautiful Creatures"
as the show timing was the most convenient.
We were rather doubtful about the movie at first
as the ratings was 3/5
sitting on the fence eh
But we were pleasantly surprised! the movie was awesome :D
We loved it!

perhaps due to the fact that both of us loved magical things :)
if you're planning to watch it
avoid watching the trailer as it kinda spoils the movie.
hope you'll like it as much as we did!

makeup tutorial Oo

im so glad im a guy.
haha that is some serious amount of makeup,
more layers than my acrylic paintings hahahahaha

Nature's Wrath

Was just watching Jack the Giant Slayer
and I was really inspired by how the vines grew in that movie
thus this piece was born :D

Call Me Maybe -Thai Version

hahaha!!

Wake up call

omg got really bad grades :(
slacked off too much
time for me to buck up
T_T

Betta

haha sketching random stuff in class!
im kinda pleased with this piece :D

What if wild animals ate fast food

hahahahaha too cute to not share!

:/

been so sad lately, i've no idea why either.
it's like i've no mood to do anything at all.
sad thoughts keep flooding my mind
kept thinking why do i not have friends,
close friends that would ask me out to parties, bars, events and stuff.
i get really envious when i know that my schoolmates have plans with their own group of friends.
then i look at myself and think why don't i have any,
is it because im a boring person to hang out with?
and that led to me thinking what will my life be like without art,
would people still want to be my friend?
would people even notice me..
suddenly i felt so invisible.

i think about silly things all the time
but then again, there's got to be something wrong with me
if not, why do i feel so lonely?

more food drawings!

Aglio Olio, Pitchstop
Colour Pencil on Paper

CHIONG AHHHH

Ya Kun Kaya Toast!

ahh rushing sketches to submit for school assignment!!

wayyyyyyy behind time :/

new sketchbook!

Guild Wars II

heehee one of my Guild Wars 2 character

this is one of the 5 available races to play with

Human,Norn,Charr,Sylvari and Asura

each of them can be customized to your liking

and im the kind that pays alot of attention to looks

thus i spent hours on the customizing page hahaha

and spend lots of gold (game currency) on the character's looks

haha how superficial eh

but the game is pretty much about looks

the 'legendary' equipment of the game is probably what most people aim for

as the designers did an amazing job at making them so desirable

even i've fallen prey to them

definitely the best MMORPG i've played

worth the money spent :)

♥

was just doing my work halfway,
getting all frustrated
just then, i received a call from a special someone
what could it be?
"hello?" i said

"is it 12 yet? HAPPY VALENTINE'S!!"

i melted, hahaha
im such an emotional person
simple gestures like these is enough to make me all teary
i feel so loved heehee
thank you!!
happy valentines to you too :)

feeling so unproductive lately,
no mood to do work cause the work that our teacher gave is so ridiculously useless.
but i know id have to attempt it sooner or later.
and ive absolutely no mood for CNY this year
no visiting or whatsoever
feeling terribly fat and ugly that i don't want to face the world
just wanna lock myself up at home
want to rant so badly
thus im just spilling out all my unhappiness here,
i hate this feeling
i hate it when people tell me that ive gained weight
really, id remember it for life
ive been fat before and yes the scar is still there
i don't need you to spread salt on my wounds thank you very much
bah im gonna disappear from facebook for the time being
*as if anybody cares*

Only you

New shirt from Hush Puppies

Bought a new shirt for Chinese New Year!
Was just having a chat with Shane the other day on the way home
about how when we grow older, we get less excited about CNY.
It's quite sad to be at this age
where relatives start to pass away one by one
due to age and illnesses.
people that we used to visit for CNY are no longer around
friends that I used to play with felt like strangers
"你还记得他们吗？当你小时候一起玩的"
and i just nod and smile, even though i don't remember a thing.
ah this is really depressing.
but nevertheless, i'm always looking forward to reunion dinner
cause my dad is gonna cook for us!
and he'd never let us down :D
oh and the ang baos $_$

Malaysia Boleh!

Recently Juu,Shane and I came across this new eating place at Jurong Point
and we've been visiting it ever since
the place is called Malaysia Boleh,
So far we've tried several dishes on our visits
Hokkien Mee, Char Kway Teow, Pork Soup, Chicken Rice, Wanton Mee, Claypot Chicken Rice
and my personal favourite, the Prawn Noodles!
the food there are priced ranging from $3.50 to $8.00
quite reasonable prices for yummy food
some portions are quite small though,
but that means more variety for me! :D
do check it out if you happen to be at Jurong Point!

alright time for me to go to sleep now, 

gotta study for exams tomorrow!

goodnight!

Claypot Chicken Rice

Prawn Noodles!!

Jambu!

Mum bought Jambu today knowing that it is my favourite fruit
but what she doesn't know is that
what i like about it isn't just because its sweet
but because it brings back memories..
I vaguely remember back when i was in nursery
my mum would bring me to the nursery at Tampines on foot
and there's this long path that we'd take
on the way back there was this Jambu tree
where occasionally there'd be ripe ones that have fallen onto the ground
my mum and I would then pick them up and wash them when we were back home
i was so happy even though it was quite bland.
and now everytime i take a bite,
id be reminded of those days
those sweet memories :')

Its done! :D

Cernunnos
