Katy Perry - Unconditionally

So come just as you are to me 
Don't need apologies 
Know that you are all worthy 
I'll take your bad days with your good 
Walk through the storm 
I would I do it all because I love you 
I love you

Memories

Kim
Oil on canvas board

Went back to ADM on tuesday for painting class
while we were taking a break,
Kim came over and had a look at my painting
"well done!" he said,
and I acknowledged that with a smile
then he went on and asked me what major and year was I in,
and i said: "Animation Year 3"

"ah how time flies"

 yes indeed, it felt like yesterday when we had our first live drawing session
i could still remember how we were told by our foundation drawing teacher, Don Low,
not to chat amongst ourselves as that might appear rude for the model.
we were all so serious as we barely knew our classmates
but it didn't take long for us to know one another.
lessons were much more enjoyable back then
so much joy and laughter

With a blink of an eye
we are now year 3 students
it feels so surreal.
Sometimes when i enter the foundation room to wash my brushes
my heart sank as i remembered the times we spent in here
working till the wee hours of the morning
but we had the company of one another.
i really miss that feeling :'/

Let's Go!

feels awesome to see your own works on display ^^
thanks M.O.D.A!!

Ah yes...
been rather busy with the painting that was meant for M.O.D.A's first anniversary party
now that its finally over, time to get back on track with my other school work
which i've been neglecting all these while >_<
thankfully the painting I did could be used to submit for my painting class
so it won't be in vain!

having doubts whether or not animation is really my passion
but oh wells its not really the time to think about such stuff
so much work to do and catch up!!

Ugh and on top of all that would be my practical driving test as well as IPPT
both due in december..got to train up!!
one at a time yaokhuan, one at a time
you can do it!

Goodbye little one

hahaha isn't it sad to look like shit, literally

Was watering my plants one day 

when i noticed this bird-shit looking caterpillar appear on my lime plant,

I left it alone cause i was curious as to what kind of butterfly/moth it will become.

just two days later, it grew so much

and it even changed it's appearance!!

Kinda resemble the Pokemon 'Caterpie' doesn't it?

After which i went to google "Lime Butterfly" as it was on a lime plant hahaha

and to my surprise it is the caterpillar of the Lime Swallowtail!

I wanted to protect it from any predators thus i went to buy a mesh bag

snipped out the inner lining and stitched them together using wires

soon after, the caterpillar finished my entire plant 

hahahaha what a big appetite it has

safe and sheltered!

It then climbed to the top of the mesh and started to spin some sort of silk

which indicates its gonna become a Chrysalis!

i always had this idea that they spun silk around themselves hahaha

but that's what moths do, and its called a cocoon

oh oh and i read that during Metamorphosis

the caterpillar's body actually 'melts' down into imaginal cells

which then puts themselves together to form a completely new structure!

isn't that amazing? i always thought tiny wings sprout out from the caterpillar.

Anyway it is now in the Chrysalis stage

gonna have to wait for 2 weeks or so

before it emerges as a butterfly!

till then! :D

Real life Metapod!

Update: two weeks later...
it emerged into a gorgeous butterfly!!
so amazing :D

New Hairstyle!

Managed to squeeze out some time earlier today to have my hair done

went over to U-One Hair Salon at Orchard Plaza after my driving lesson

my hair was getting really long and it was very hair to style due to its curly nature

thus i decided to go for Soft Rebonding

the process took around 2 whole hours

amazing how they can iron my hair when its so short hahaha,skills.

weeee so happy :D i finally have straight hair

I'm feeling really really really crappy right now, there's so much work yet to be done and so many issues that keeps coming up. I'm so so tired.. to whom ever it may concern: if you wanna contact me just give me a call or leave me a message on whatsapp, i won't be checking up on my social media any time soon cause i really have to sort all these shit out first. that's all for me now, i really hate Septembers.

Procrastinators

Perfectly illustrates the situation i'm in right now hahahahaha

Sappy September

Hello readers!!
Ah it's been such a long time since i typed out a proper blog post
been rather lazy due to the other social media such as Instagram
and ugh all the school work are starting to pile up!
but nevertheless i feel that I should make it a point to update my blog

so here's what has happened in my life
first of all, our dear Shane has finally flew to Germany!
(that was 16 days ago actually hahaha)

It was such a bittersweet feeling
for one i'm happy that he is going to somewhere new and fun
and yet the other side of me i just can't bear to see him leave
it's just too saddening for me i guess, i really hate goodbyes :'(
but then again, it's just for 5 months
i'm sure it'd pass by real fast

A little farewell gift :D

School work is really quite taxing
as i'm really out of my comfort zone working with 3D Maya rigging
as well as animating using photoshop
oh speaking of which I've been working on a character named Bruce!

concept art sketches

colour testing

It is really quite taxing as i've such little experience with animation
and now i have to animate a 4-legged animal
which is not easy at all
i'm struggling so badly with it.. urghhhh
i feel that my foundation is really weak
as i didn't really learn much about animation in year 2
which is why now i'm making so many mistakes now
really hope things will work out in the end!

Oh and i took oil painting class this semester as well!
i'm much more comfortable painting with acrylic and watercolour
but i really wanted to learn oil painting
as i've seen many amazing works done in oil which i really which to achieve as well!
anyway here's one piece that im quite pleased with
more to come!

on top of all that,
i have an upcoming collaboration for M.O.D.A's anniversary
have to complete another rather large painting before 29th september
ahhh so much work to do and i'm way behind schedule
gonna need a miracle, wish me luck!

and of course, a selfie :p

yupyup,that's all for now!
cheers ;)

How Long Will I Love You

Naughty Boy - La La La

I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
Cause if my heart can't stop it, I find a way to block it
