this is a blog entry.
yes, to take a leaf from cj, its been quite a while. the post-prelim celebration was realli memorable. meeting up some friends to see the solo exhibition. the insights were insightful haha. okok. i haf been very encouraged, to say the least. its realli interesting to see how pple sometimes actually read wad u put into ur paintings, especially when they r very subtle. n to a certain extent, i see this series as a form of closure. as wad mrs tan said, ur sji series seem complete now wif these 2 paintings (my a lvl coursewk). the earlier ones seem dreamy, searching, but these 2, the empty courtyards, remains of the presence of pple, the setting, all seem to suggest that pple haf moved on to the world outside. so its Gd, u r ready for a new phase of ur life. congratulations.
words i’ll rmb. all in all, it has realli been a learning experience. n i’m grateful to haf been given this opportunity go thru all of this. so guyz, thank you once again for participating in this in one way or another. for me, its time to move on in life.
went east coast n stayed over n sean’s place. ah east coast.... then we went to baiduri for seraphin’s birthday afternoon party. we were tired la, but was fun still lolz. a lazy sunday. gd weekend.
sch on tues was simply release of some realli bad results, n i expect more to come, n work is pilling up once again. i’ll leave them to tomorrow. still reeling from prelims, n the conclusion of coursewk. now that we’ve seen thru the end of this painful process, i look back, n i realize that its quite poignant n bittersweet actually. i will miss those days where we stay up til the wee hrs of the night (ok, not so much for me, but still...) entire days of just working away n just going crazy together in the art room. tues morning i went in n kexin asked me, “wad period isit now?” only to haf apri adding, “wad day isit today ha?” haha. the art room is timeless i tell u. wif aep, there r no regrets abt not having a “life” by joining a cca. art n coursework IS a cca, n much more. to put it simply art to us is simply wad choir is to these choir pple.
usually during free periods u see the aep students unconsciously gravitating to the art room to chiong coursework, do hw, or just to while away the time. today i tried going into the art room to collect some of my stuff after econs remedial, n for the first time, it was shut. oh man.
well so there we go again. i set out to blog abt something other than art, n here i am moving back to art land. oh dear. wad a sad, strange little man.
thinking of getting cj’s cw book. maybe buy some cds as a tangible reward for my efforts in working for the prelims. the results r fucked but doesn’t mean i didn’t work hard ok. alright til next time, ciao pplez.
