Hmmm... yesterday was quite ok. I think I took the critism too seriously because I was dreading that presentation. Anyway, it was over and gone with.
So, there is going to be a major project coming up on Monday. I feel a little worried and nervous but a little curious of what is going to come up. I hope that I can be the best I can. Hopefully, I can do a good job in it.
Not much happened yesterday really. Just went to someone's house and watch a rented movie. Then I went to teakuando. Man... my foundation sucks. But at least I know what to improve.
I met a MI friend that day. Such a surprise! Didn't see him for about five months. Actually, he wanted to quit MI and go to poly too. Okay... I think that's about it.
God bless! Mata ja!

presentation
Believe me.... there's something about thursday that turned against us. Let's just say that we had to present 27 "sexy" photos from boat quay through an exihibit. So we decided to make an upside down dining table. Later, we found out that the lecturers will be criticising the exihibitions and we need a concept. So my mind just came up with one.
Problem is my presentation skills. Boy, was the comments painful in every tiny bit of it. Try imagine having your emotional brain knocked against something hard. The pain will come later in full force when you get your mind back.Yet, it is for my own good, so just have to make use of this constructive critism and turn them into my benefit.
Hahaha... But i am really thankful that my group mates were there to help me. I need to thank a group mate for helping me put, his nick name is jonny tanner. So thanks, I am really touched cuz I know how nervous you are.
And thank you to those people who said I am doing good. It is really comforting and it did lessen the pain. So thanks!
Argh! Tomorrow another presentation. Better prepare...Wish me all the best. I really really need it.
god bless! Mata ja!

red paint
Man... Am I shagged... came back at 10pm. Hahaha... actually today is quite zany. The lecturers gave us a task and that is to paint without thinking. So, full of zest, everyone went painting, splinkling, splashing and splating around onto a huge canvas (actually it's just newspaper on the floor). Some took the delight of painting not only the canvas, but another type of canvas as well also known as the human skin. And then someone full of zest, created a zany act and yup, the paint had became a trade mark. You know, I learnt something today, if you know that you are painting the next day, NEVER do medicure. It will just make you cry.
Want to know why am I using the words that have a Z more often today? That is because it is the word of the day.
Anyway, Tekuando is tough, It's quite fun actually. But I think I am going to have cramps the next day.... Can't believe I did back trust and 360 degrees kick all in the same day.. It's my first time... Oh well.. that's about it. Nice zany day..
God bless! mata ja!

mostly mirror mask
Today is the first day we had a proper class (I said a which means just 1) which is theory of design. It does open my eyes a little because somehow my eyes had been opened that I need some aspects to become a good designer. Like instead of looking at an object with just one angle, I can look at it at many angles and find something different about it.
Later, we had to join back to our last week’s group and find out more about Zaha Hadid. All of us thought that the person is a male but it turned out to be a woman. And truly, she is one great architect who can make her works stand out remarkably!
Most of our time is spend watching Mirror Mask. Well… It is really mundane at the start. However, the longer we watched the more interesting it becomes.
Here’s the synopsis:
Helena, portrayed by Stephanie Leonidas, is the story's protagonist. The young circus performer and aspiring artist dreams of running away to join 'real life'. Despite these feelings, Helena loves both of her parents although she spends more time with her dad in the movie. In one circus skit they juggle and then have her mother come out in a gorilla suit. After a fight with her mother, in which Helena wishes she could 'be the death' of her, her mother falls ill, possibly from a brain tumour. Helena blames herself for the illness. On the night doctors operate on her mother, Helena dreams, or thinks she dreams, of a mysterious world of masked people and monsters.
My view:
What’s really interesting about the movie is that the masked people kind of represents her surroundings as people in the circus wear masks. It also showed that in her dream world, she is the only one who dares to show her true self.
You know you have imagination, but can you imagine what your imagination looks like? That show somehow did that by mixing what Helena see in everyday’s life into a funny mixture of things. Like a human face on a cat body with wings. That’s the beauty of imagination.
Another thing about the show is, you can realise not everything good is all good. There can be such things as greed to overcome good intentions at times. But there are also times where people realise the folly of their action and will do anything to fix it back.
There's also a wonderful contrast in behavior. The dark and good side of a person. How we can turn from one person to another really depends on ourselves usually or it can be the reaction to one's treatment.
The bad thing about the show, there can be a wonderful picture of helena’s imagination may look like. But the colours, all I saw is green green and green. I mean it is quite painful to the eyes. I mean, there should be a least a bit of colour right?
Hahaha… That’s all I have to say for now. Couldn’t believe my content is so long.
Mata ja!

week
ok! It's been a really fun week. I shall summaries it now.
Monday: Get to know each other + face painting = fun but also sian. Getting to know each other was well... fun... i think. I mean i got to know alot of people but my human scavenger sheet is quite empty (in other words, miserable). And who knew feb babies are so hard to find! Anyway, after that, we had to face paint each other and do a skit. I suggested doing adam's family because the make up is simple and the show is funny. Are we funny? Why sure! The results is people just stared dumbfounded and did I mention the soft "hmm?" that was getting loudly obvious. I guess the part I enjoyed was to laugh at some people's reaction when I painted their face.
Tuesday: Have to make an exhibition. Our group members divdied ourselves from 9 to 3 and we went looking around for items. So three of us went and most of the stuff we took was quite free. ( I am not sure about the beer bottles though, one of the workers is not very happy) And then, we made the poor and only guy of our group to carry a really 'feathered light" stone. By the time we came back to the campus, he is a walking traffic light (not to mention a tiring one).
So we decided to make a boat and a island. Results? The boat is recognizable but I swore that the small tiny island looked nicer than the large boat. Oh well, at least it's done.
wednesday: Have to go to boat quay to do 5 sketches from 9 to 1:30. 1 elevational view of the street scape, 2 3D drawings of a building and 2 zoomed in details are needed to be done by 1:30. 5 drawings + 4 and 1/2 hours= 3/4 of a drawing T.T. It's really pathetic la. what's more is that the sky decide to rain on us halfway. After tolerating it for a while, our drawings are getting soggy and we had to get back. At least the lecturers didn't say anything.
Thursday: Make 4 outfits out of garbage bags, newspaper and the works. I helped a friend with his shirt the whole afternoon and what the shirt gave us? A tear that was really big. So fuming and frustrated, we turned it into a jacket and we brought home the works to make another shirt. The other group members made a really nice dress, blouse and short pants. Really cool to look at them.
Friday: Man. that day was really fun. Our models actually strut down the runway showig off the outfits we made. The other groups were not bad. Check out the catwork. Cool! Remember the stupid shirt cum jacket we made? It tore! Good thing that guy made another shirt. We just made another jacket out of it. What's really cool is when people cheered when he took off the jacket while walking of the runway. That was so cool! Anyway, everybody were really sporty and It was really a great time. Ok. Here's the pics!
