The old broken melody, blowing through the trees of Eden.
They say the heart of man is too far gone to save...
yet in the quaint humdums of the neighbourhood,
in the midst of gains and losses,
joys and heartaches,
pleasure and pain,
friends and foes,
battles lost and won,
you can just hear that quiet whisper,
of an amazing grace....upon this unworthy life.
Hello there, you. If you reading this is having holidays at the moment, I hope you're enjoying yourself. =(
This uncle is painting his sunday night away...
see the resemblance? my painting is the one on the left. hahaha..kiddingg
Sigh.....final term assignments are on hand again. [didn't I just only blog about getting over them awhile back? =( ] I haven't really done much....it's really hard to get things moving with so many things on mind. Oh well, lemme just finish up the paint here.
Heh, somehow, painting is more enjoyable to me now, compared to the past where I really hate it and find it messy.
Or maybe.....it's because I'm listening to Paul Baloche's new album as I work. Yeahhhh. =)
------------------------------------------------
Sigh....why wasn't I asked beforehand? I know, it's not my right to ask, it's not mine anyway.
But....even just as a gesture? It would really have been very useful, and mean alot. In any case, oh well.
Been popping over to city hall/clark quay recently, mostly as photo trips either personally or for my photography module.
Think I really do enjoy photo field trips, the satisfaction of finding interesting spots to snap at. Though tiring, time passes so quickly, and it's so engrossing, even if I'm alone.
The only lament is, it's so "city-fied" over here, it's really hard to find natural shooting objects. I think one of these days, I'm gonna back-pack around shooting from places all over.
Err...that's probably if I manage to get a DSLR.
Snappies snappies.
------------------------------------------------
with the usual crowds in the area, it's cool to get an empty street shot
gazing boy
emo kid
my photography module teacher, jason, is probably going to have something to say about my building alignment here =S
hello there!
bridges are cool
Ever tried this fish chips shop opposite The Central?
the serving and all looks pretty much like Fish&Co's, with a cool variety of fish
that's a 6.50 fish chip set for ya! (actual serving size was bigger, as the photographer was hungry)
taken during mooncake festival period
heh the last time i came here to take photo, was with my poly mates for our art module
hoh we decided to visit st andrew's cathedral to look for structual shots, ended up taking self pics..
emo kid
ooh, i like this pic, thanks to da jie for the composition, but i think the model was cool toooo =D
hehe, the pic just reminded me of casting crown's latest album, so tried doodling around in photoshop (no copyright violation intended)
Which reminds me, I haven't got their album. =( Someone show this kid some love eh?
Woah...it's real quiet around here. Just haven't found the time and mood to blog lately.
But school's been pretty cool....here's some pics I found from the dusty rotting archive waiting to be published. (prob old news to some of you..)
hah...some blood donation drive that was going on in our school. dunno why, but i have this urge to bash up that oversized droplet of blood guy.. oops =D
haha, we had the chance to be models and posed during figure drawing class, while our classmates drew us. da jie on her throne.
ooooh they want old man to pose too! the 2 sketches are from a classmate
there was this exhibition, which allowed us to take pics and send it for some project thingy. just for fun yeah
i think polaroid cameras are cool man. self developing...and it gives an old historical feeling
jazz took it with yan qing....dunno what nonsense they writing lah
some stalker secretly snapped a shot of me in library. weird...the person doesn't look like me leh =S
stalker strikes again! but i kinda like this composition though..without that bag
we went to this museum exhibition on shamanism, and tribal ancestral worship. basically went through a short guided tour on the exhibits which were all idols and stuffs used by the people. i'm proud in believing that i'm surrounded by hardworking, diligent friends throughout the exhibition, with no nonsense talking and playing....
ok...sorry, wrong pic
err ok sorry, i take back my words
one of the artifacts. this was an item used by the shaman to call upon curses through idols. 6 being used meant serious business. freaky stuff
Anyway, been busy moving house lately. With all the moving of furnitures, I managed to kinda strain my back yesterday...man having that muscle strain sucks. As if being told I'm old is not enough. =(
Speaking of moving house, here's shots of my ikea trip with school mates =D
on board the magical school bus
royal family. heh, they should pay us to be models featured on their catalogue mags or something
mirror shot
shot mirror
err...nevermind =S
1 sad, 1 act cute, 1 smoking
haha jazz bought this sweddish rubber band type of candy to try. like 4 spider monsters. more fun to play with then eat man
=D
stumbled upon this pic, which had our 3D module tutor inside, who was working in Ikea previously
dunno why take escalator also must pose =S
ooh this pic looks "i-see-dead-people" kind of creepy. but it's actually a pretty little girl we came across. didn't manage to get her number =(
why do the kids look like pet animals in a display cage?? =S
studying in nafa makes you want to draw wherever you go
the guys got the chance to pop over my house area, mainly to visit our classmate, meiman's dad chicken rice stall, which is actually at the kopitiam at my house area. small world huh. got a super treat man
possibly the best chicken rice meal ever
satisfied peeps
that's a 7 thumbs-up rating for ya. seriously, uncles chicky rice is da bomb
For some reason, that choking feeling is back, when I come back home. And elsewhere I look.
Seems that everyone is saying so many things. What am I to do? What's expected of me? I'm really too tired to just think about it. Feels like....I don't know.
A sandbag that says "Punch me when needed" ?
Maybe not. Maybe so.

[In Over My Head] - Reuben Morgan
The world is all changing I can’t believe my own eyes The moment I think I’ve figured it out I am flawed
I’m not to sure Of myself this time
I’m in over my head And all I have is you now I’m in over my head And all I am is holding on to you
I can’t see the way now But this one thing I know When every thing’s changing You’re still closer than a friend And so I will bow And my heart will trust
I’m in over my head And all I have is you now I’m in over my head And all I am is holding on to you
I’ll never let you go
I’m in over my head And all I have is you now I’m in over my head And all I have, all I have, is holding on to you
About me
Who am I? You sure you want to know?
The story of my life is not for the faint of heart.
If somebody said it was a happy little tale... if somebody told you I was just your average ordinary guy, without a care in the world...somebody lied.
see the resemblance? my painting is the one on the left.
Heh, somehow, painting is more enjoyable to me now, compared to the past where I really hate it and find it messy.
