FOUNDATION DRAWING - Submitted.
A charcoal drawing with photoreference from nikosalpha. I forgot to take a pic of it before submitting it. D'oh! Gotta ask from friends.

FOUNDATION 2D - Working like a manslave.
I don't paint much because I generally hate painting (because I'm molasses slow at it). But this is due on Thursday, and the relation of emotions to what I have and see in life is so ****ing real, that I just *have* to do this. I don't care, this is gonna go up regardless of how well or how finished it.

FOUNDATION 3D - Groupwork.
A totem pole thingy. I think we're good, but we still have quite some work to do (~60% done) and the professor is half a prick. No, not pricky enough to justify full prickiness but still. Ehh. Handing up next week so I have some time. I LOVE spraypainting stuff with silver paint. Awesome sensation.

FOUNDATION 4D - Narrative(?)
Just got the idea this afternoon. It was there previously, but I didn't know what form it would take on. This is even more personal than my 2D piece so I should take good care of it. :lol:

I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT GRADES - As long as I pass.
Seriously. I DON'T CARE IF I FUCKING ACE ART SCHOOL OR NOT. I'm estimating myself to be at least competent enough to get a B(-) [3.0/5.0 GPA] on everything and so far most of the grades are definitely above that, but some people are acting like getting a 1st class Hons. degree in an art school is everything. It is *something*, and is *something* really commendable, but so?

I'm not being hell-bent on self-gratification, but I think I'm seeing too big of a gap between the hands and the brain for most Foundation groups. You are told to nail it in a systematic matter - visually, which I'm definitely okay with, but not emotionally. No motive no spontaneousness so sterile so clean so CAL-CU-LA-TED (that's how you pronounce it in Malay, folks!)

Calculation. Perhaps that's my main beef with other people. It's finally university and some people are still CALCing their grades like their moms (perhaps?) used to do for them. Art school (or not).

I like people who take risks or spontaneous journeys because they *FELT* like it, not calculation. Yes, a calculated risk for assignments in art school- you heard it here first! ;D

p/s: If you don't feel like it, don't take risks. Be sincere and be what you feel you would want to tell or express.

Droid Rage

1 min read
New phone. HTC again, but it's running the 'Droid this time.
Really surprised at how polished this OS is. Doesn't seem like the bland screwup on designs that Google normally commits.
I love to abuse campus wi-fi by streaming imeem and Last.fm. Bwahaha.


2 weeks into the school of (f)Art, Design & Media. 4 days of hell each week for 3 days of temporary heaven. A nice tradeoff I guess.

I hate the workload. Drawing, 2D, 3D, 4D, yet all of them giving draw/study assignments. It's all about drawing mad amounts now. I can cope, sure, but there's a slight bit of dissatisfaction on why my non-drawing teachers are all so err... pencil oriented even in week 1. I have 4 sketchbooks (3 homework + 1 Garbage(TM)) so rest assured the doodling is in place.

Haven't set up my own desktop system yet so I've been REALLY off the radar for now, but I'll get it up soon. No, I haven't been THAT busy to forget about everything, rofl.

NOISE SINGAPOREEEEEEEE (yes I'll try to get time to do stuff. lmao.)

not worth it

1 min read
not worth.
the time
the emotion
the conflicts
the justification
the late night strawls
the pointless discussion
the futile dodging of conclusions
the really persisting overall weariness i had
sayonara.
and may you guys fare much better in your future endeavors.
all the best.

signed with full sincerity and hopefully no offense meant.
-mike.

p.s. i'll try to be there if you need a fun game or such.


and so.
i move on solemnly but with a necessity
ready for the school that they call ADM
perhaps ready for more than just- that
perhaps ready for a whole new world, a new experience
new life, new priorities, new work, new flavors of coffee
i hope.
