The day of days
this is historic.
the solo exhibition paintings have been completed. i heave a sigh of relief. one huge load is finally off my shoulder. n i get that sense of achievement n safisfaction. of being very contented. u say to urself. yes. i did it.
that strikes one resolution on my wishlist. it was the thought of wish on the wishlist that kept me goin thruout. hmm not bad. finish so close to new year. which uwd make this year's new year celebration all the more meaningful.
point is- this solo exhibition has definitely been a learning experience. painting is a struggle, but to me not as painful a struggle as mugging. wif painting, u let ur mind wander abt issues n events while doing ur work n it has a therapeutic, even relaxing effect. there r times where u r tempted to tell urself this is the best already. no point going further. but a limit is only possible if u believe it to b, what u'll achieve u'll never noe. so push urself n try harder. n unlike mugging the outcome of painting is can see one. so of course better than seeing papers n red marks done in koh's squigly wormly pi sai handwriting.
tmw will wrap u this solo exhibition thing by taking the pics n doing the writeups for the exhibition catalogue that uob wants to help me publish. all i have to do is supply the gd stuff n they'll do the printing. costs? they'll cover. charity la.
n i received an sms todae that really made my day. it said that hi this is mr gilbert lee...he'll b our NEW ct AND econs teacher. rock on man. its out wif the old in wif the new. bye bye sleeveless. u've been TERMINATED. so next year econs still got hope....
yep that wraps up the DAY OF DAYS. oh ya another thing. since 2005 is ending, my term as painter of THE YEAR is also ending. so come next year kindly address me as your majesty n not mr uob or i'll sue u in court. i'll have plenty of money from my 20k to hire that davindar singh fella. so dong play play wif his royal highness.
