Our world is exactly the same as a desert.

Rain falls and the flowers bloom. No rain, they wither up. Bugs are eaten by lizards, lizards are eaten by birds. But in the end every one of them dies. They die and dry up. One generation dies and the next one takes over. That's how it goes. Lots of different ways to live. And lots of different ways to die. But in the end that does'nt make a bit of a difference.

All that remains is a desert.

Western Art History

The pivotal events and achievements that define the western canonical tradition in the visual arts and design are surveyed in this subject. The unceasing quest to give form to ideas is traced from the pictographs on the walls of Lascaux to classic western civilizations through to the period around the French revolution in late 1790s. Through lectures, discussions, research, video screenings and studio projects, students are introduced to the creative thinkers, important innovations and revolutionary technologies that have shaped the evolution of visual arts and the impact on societies in the western world.

Foundation Drawing 1

This studio subject aims to develop students' ability to render figures and to refine drawing skills. Working primarily in dry mediums, students use line and tone to develop an understanding of proportion, structure and anatomy of the figure. Drawing exercises reinforce techniques for rendering light and shade, soft and hard edges, gesture, volume and composition. Assignments in observation and interpretation of the human figure are given to assist in the formulation of a personal approach to drawing the figure. Lectures and discussions of classical figure drawing and contemporary works are included.

2D Colour & Design Workshop 1

An exploration of concept development and problem-solving techniques to render design solutions on a flat surface is the focus of this subject. Understanding design concepts is emphasized through assigned projects in abstraction, contrast, rhythm, form and pattern. The subject also concentrates on attaining a practical understanding of subtractive and additive colour. Topics include colour systems, a fundamental vocabulary for analyzing and identifying colour and colour phenomena. Colour properties are explored through direct observation, demonstrations and exercises. Students research the significance and meaning of various colours in different cultures, and consideration is given to both the creative possibilities and cultural ramifications of the digital palette.

3D Design & Volume Workshop 1

Dedicated to the study of design in the three dimensions-height, width and depth-this studio subject addresses how to manipulate 3D forms and space. Working with a variety of media, students complete sculptural and architectural projects with considerations of structure, scale and function. Students also learn to construct and analyse 3D forms. Demonstrations in mold making, paper and cardboard construction, among other materials, is given.

4D Design & Time Workshop 1

The subject endeavors to introduce students to ways of understanding storytelling, narrative and visual communication of ideas, imagery and sound in time-based media in a variety of contexts that shape our lives. Students will learn types of narrative: literary, non-linear and multiple stream styles as used in cinematic creations and new media. This course will expand upon experiences of time as perceived from various cultural perspectives including ethnographic approaches toward storytelling. Descriptions of concepts like poetry and prose, musical performance with non-objective, abstract and representational visual presentation are examined. The conceptual development of working in time-based media is achieved through exposure to groundbreaking time-based artworks as well as introductions to applicable technologies with a focus on story telling.

Introduction to the Study of Literature

This module investigates some of the ways in which literary works not only express, but also foster our sense of modernity. It looks in turn at works from a number of major genres, including three very different short stories, a classic 'existential' novel, a selection of modern poems (with a focus on poetry written by women), a film (an ambivalent romantic comedy), and a landmark play that transformed the nature of modern drama. There will also be a session on critical writing. In an age in which traditional literary categories are being challenged and reshaped, in which social values and cultural identities are being invented and reinvented, we will consider ways in which some of the most important writers of the last one hundred and fifty years have challenged tradition, and produced works that have shaped contemporary consciousness.

i made dinner & lunch!

2008-06-26T18:09:00.002+08:00

pasta carbonara
(olive oil, garlic, egg yolk, salt, black pepper, thyme leaves, rocket leaves, portobello mushrooms, bacon strips, linguine, parmesan cheese)

met my baybee ytd at tampines mall with intentions of making our very own dinner & have some good kitchen fun in e process. shopped for groceries at the ntuc, n i tell you we were some noobs, we couldnt find lots of the stuff so we were practically combing the whole place haha. bill came up to a total of $47 bucks. slightly on the expensive side. but its a good side haha. anxiously made our way home. n i got down n dirty while she went to take a shower first (she was in charge of the salad, in other words she needed less time to prepare haha thus explains the time to bathe). everything went pretty smooth actually, loved the smell of the olive oil, garlic & thyme leaves on the frying pan with the portobello mushrooms & bacons strips, but then came the problem.. oh did i mention.. i wanted to make pasta carbonara. n like i predicted, there were problems with the sauce. apparently i used too little cream haha so we had a pretty blend & sauceless carbonara almost kinda like a pan-fried aglio olio. we finished everything though, cus it had an important ingredient; love. good ol' love. aww*

photos frm the dinner soon.

unsatisfied with my cooking last night, n being tt perfectionist tt i may be, gave it a second shot just hours ago. n voila! it turned out way better & really hit the spot haha. it feels good to make something else besides maggie mee or campbells haha. might try my luck on some other dishes soon! (photo above, pardon the lousy quality; taken with photoBooth)

the end of the start;

2008-06-25T17:37:00.003+08:00

i havent been blogging much, just took the easy route of posting photos. yes yes call me lazy, i wouldnt disagree; but neither wld i agree. Busy is the word as of late, work has been piling up to the ceiling, n i've got a pretty high ceiling mind you. dont get me wrong though , im not complaining, i kinda like busy at times, makes you feel alive, gives you things to look forward too. these days ive spent with stellar boys running from office to office, opened my eyes to some pretty impressive work space interiors. cant wait for the day when ill finally have the opportunity to do up my very own place, its gonna be so mad. i feel im getting overly visual-oriented, i cant be bothered to take out some time to read; like for example the little details in product brochures, instruction manuals, needless to say a whole book. but i kinda like it this way, words will never replace the kind of impact a visual can have on me. still thats just me.

my hunns is having a writer's block now so i'm penning this entry for him.
he's been real busy lately; doing up his POTfolio for the uni admissions, got yet another silkscreen template, busy producing out of the common league rebel photos...

he's been so busy so much so that i've spotted a strand of white hair on his head today. haa. he must be really stressed out; but then again, stressed isnt in his dictionary, he's living the life like a pro; rockin steady. this month's been rather hectic..., CNY, Vday, speaking of vday, he got me a stalk of sunflower, rather than the usual red roses where almost every girl on the streets got on that day. pictures of it is on my blog if you know where's ma blog's at. and i love that stalk very muchh. the very first flower from him on our very first valentines celebrated. suu-weet.

anyway, he told me to write a long long entry. so yeah. erhm, we just finished our 4pcs kfc couple set A and was watching Closer on ch 5... kinda full right now *burpp*

i hear chatterings of aunt lorna. i find her really funny and cool. rather talkative and all. keeps on calling my hunns "ku ji" or "Gucci"? i dunno haha. always "KU JII!" high pitched on the ji. she has a couple of glasses, she posesses a brown pair that have a circle and square lens. prettae unique and stylish.

as you can see my hunns is rather pampered by women; his mom, his sis, aunt mona, aunt lorna and his ah mah. not to mention me. haaa.

okays im kinda tired now and he's still got an essay to edit so i'll get goin now. its fun blogging over here though. hee.

tmr morn he book in lo. dou bu hao wan de. what a bummer.

2007-12-27T00:08:00.000+08:00

As the years pass, I somehow lost the mood, the anticipation n excitement of celebrating christmas, all the merry jolly festive vibes are but forced feelings; just for the sake kinda shit. I suspose I'm not the only one out there. But you wld agree this: Christmas is best enjoyed as a kid, served young. Now, all that is left for me to enjoy is the sight of all my lil cousins playing the shit I used to play, making a din, looking silly n not giving a damn, eagerly waiting for the clock to strike 12 before the present wrapper ripping sessions begin.

still, with that said.. its good just to spend time with the family & my hunns.

merry christmas guys!

we tried our best to sing along. and i still need my baked potato.

after the christmas celebrations with my family at seagull drive, me & hunns headed over to carissa park to join the loyang peeps. massive poker session! you know i dont say no to poker; i went home with $55 bucks that night. n yeah that was about it for christmas. smile for the camera!

whats the rush? oh its christmas day.

roll, roll, roll your fats

2007-12-16T10:27:00.000+08:00

my hunns has been whining that she's been putting on major weight (i did my fair contribution in making her believe so too haha thats the least i cld do right as a concerned boyfriend) anyhows here's our way over-dued skating / cycling trip to east coast. last week, we finally pulled our lazy & fat asses off the couch & chicken wing sets to hit ecp in the noon. What, you expected morning fellas? not gonna happen anytime soon, we sleep heavy! hopefully we wld keep up this healthier aspect of our zombified lifes. but i seriously doubt it. at the way she's complaining now that her butt hurts frm all the cycling. seriously, no pain no gain hunns!

fast forward to a healthy sunday

spotted this adorable boy learning the ropes of rolling

apparently he needs to put in more hours.

the new whites on the rack, majestic 12s no more. its razors m3's for now.

i was trying to get real close up to show those "perfect" red nails

a __insert dog name__! okay, all yous know i hate dogs. but i think i wld still get one in the near future, okay las not hate. just not educated!

in case you were wondering why there aint any photos of us actually exercising, well thats just because we were really working out hard, let me emphasize the word HARD. thus we plain forgot to take any photos. n props to my hunns for keeping my sandals n leica safely in her 'b messenger thruout the ride.

aww, baby i love you okays? unless you get really fat. hahahahhahahahahhaa! evil
