Listening to: MGMT- Kids

I havent blogged bout Halloween man! So this is gonna be a looong post!
A group of us volunteered to be the organizing commitee for ESDA's first ever grand-er scale Halloween event!!!

Yay Egg Story Digital Arts School! =DD

So after 358458 weeks of preparation, we transformed our 4th floor into something totally different, inclusive of a cordoned off 'graveyard'! Damn proud of ourselves la!

As for me, I was the emcee/gamemaster! lots of hard work put in to create all the games man!

But before the party started, I was verrryyy busy helping some people prepare.

Behold my first... part... MASTERPIECE! Ms. 'Pocahontas' Callen! Only counted as 'part' cos the costume's not mine! lol. DAMN SCARY MAN!

My proper masterpiece is Ms. BUN! If you look closely, you'd know that 'her' clothes are all mine!!! muahahahaha~ eh... then there's Junko (Kiki's Delivery Service), Denise, White Trash, BUNNY~, Sohfia (some 'evil' cheerleader), and Hiroko (Trinity).

And so the party began!

Lol Pris... 'Buy this Polaroid and get a girl in catsuit and furry paws for free! Sanity not included.'

My favourite for the night- Philip as SERGEANT MAJOR PHILIP, and BUNNY~~

Felix =D

Bunny and Kiki =D I still love the makeup I did for Bun. Subtle yet... flashy! =D

Daniel waiting to scare kids outside the toilet.

We had bobbing for balloons! Players were to bob for balloons and bop them open any way they want, WITHOUT using their hands to score a lucky prize inside. I lugged a whole kiddy pool to school, spend one night stuffing sweets and mini prizes into water balloons and lost my breath blowing them up. In the end, the baby pool leaked. =___=

And every party isnt complete without MERRY GO ROUND! =D addictive game from Peicai. Glad to say this game was a hit.

Fooooooooooooooooooooooooood~

And then... halfway through, the VIPs arrived!!!

A.P and family! LOOK AT BABY ALEGRA~!!!!!!!!!!

MY SELF PROCLAIMED GOD-DAUGHTER ARETHA~~~~~~~~~ (she's scared)

Apparenty Aretha couldnt recognise me at all. =( it was only during the end of the party, when I removed my wig (INFRONT OF HER) that her eyes lit up and she ran towards me with a hug. *bittersweet sia* AND LOOK AT THE BABY!!!!! ekjfal;kjf;ekl;fa

Borko and family! HELLO HANNAH MONTANA! rofl

Lecturer and Big Boss planning a conspiracy!

Best Dressed Contest time!!

SO MANY paparazzos with their fancy DSLRs.

The finalists for the best dressed! Pocahontas, Trinity, er... crazy Alice, BUNNY, and... Cloud...? (I suddenly am damn ashamed to say that Final Fantasy)

This pose looks familiar.

Cloud either had an accident/is worshipping his wig and swords. Notice top left corner where somebody is ROFL-ing.

Bunny's way to clinch the title was to..... hug the judge.....

Pocahontas and her prelude to the RAIN DANCE!

'Oh-wa-oh-wa-oh-wa John Smith, will you take me away???'

No guesses, Pocahontas and her gay dance won.

On the left you see the DSLR crew, on the right is the ESDA family.

Pinata time! (So sad, my 3 nights worth of hard work gone in.... 3 minutes).

Then it was time for fun with our lecturers!

We dont get to do this everyday man =D

Well, Halloween was a huge success.
Much better than queueing up for tickets to go to some overcrowded party, and get soaked by the rain. (tsk tsk! clarke quay ppl!)

To thank us for our hard work, ESDA gave us tickets to the German Film Fest, with a verrryyy good buffet by Conrad Continental. All in next post!

BYE!

Listening to: MGMT- Time to Pretend

I love this song! It's one of those anthems that surmise what being young is all about- discovery, big dreams, and a blatant refusal to commit to any social norms.

Of cos that's not what the song is really about. It's some satire on the rocknroll industry and how you have to wear a mask to survive blah blah black sheep.

'This is our decision, to live fast and die young.
We've got our decision, so let's have some fun.'

I'm turning 21 le....
Not exactly VERY excited.

Ever since I came back to school, I'm doing my verrrrryyyy best to enjoy myself and learn as much as possible from everybody.

I wanna make the most out of these 2 years, before it's back to the rat race. Well, that's if I dont end up in production and do corporate again (i prayyyyy not).

Going to school is like celebrating my birthday every day.
It's that wonderful feeling where you're really excited for the day to come, and each lesson you learn is a present.

But anyway, speaking about presents, since my birthday is coming..... here's my wishlist (alamak everybody has one!)

1) That fucking chio pair of Onitsuka Tiger I found in that limited edition shop in Peninsula plaza, level 2. I went with Cal and Kev in Oct and fell in love with it immediately lor. uwahhhhh i'm superrrrr lusting for it. pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee get me that~~~~ T_T the photo's even up on FB. =D

2) A solid set of headphones. Solid enough to withstand how I er... treat things. (amazing how i never lose my stuff but end up destroying them =/)

3) Solid bag/s. Me needs good going-out bag/s. Black and gold is gooood =D

4) I would reallyyy love to go out and do fun stuff with the people I love. Like... like... picnics and flying kites, Megazip, bowling, night cycling, ice skating, go beach, drinks, more drinks, sit in prata shop and la teh till 4am...

In fact, my birthday would be really perfect if i could just see all my friends again, and tell them how much i love them.

Bye bye!

Listening to: Nothing!

School's started and I'm really honestly psyched bout it. We've got cool lecturers and everybody in class is uniquely talented, and (hopefully) passionate about what we're here for.

So far i've only took 2 lessons (3D- Modelling and Digital Painting), and whoa I know i've got to put in a loooot of work since I'm not formally art trained, whereas many of my classmates came from art backgrounds.

This was jarringly evident during Digital Painting class. Me no know Photoshop. So me first time painting digitally was terrrible. Previously all i've done was play with the most basic of Painter tools. But now, hmm. I knew i was lagging way behind. Turns out my basic handling of the stylus was wrong, and i never managed to finish a picture properly at the end of the lesson.

Well i've come home and did some practising just now. Here's presenting my 1st time (proper) attempt in digital greyscale painting (Speed and accuracy! was what the lect preached). Of course my 'painting' is not accurate in ANY way but at least finished within 20 min. I just 'whack arh!' and here's what my initial blobs of black resulted in:

Do let me know what you think about it. Just dont ask what it is. I dont know lol.

Oo and i found Maya INTERESTING instead of intimidating! =D then the lect had to give me a new nickname.

During 3D class i asked him a qns, and he saw me writing in my Banao cartoon notebook. Then he commented: 'Aww how cute just like my little girl. She likes shiny... pink things. Like Barbie...'

Haaaaa i think my lect colour blind sia my book was yellow.

Then after some time: 'Ok class any questions? No? How bout you? *looks at me* Er... Hello Kitty?'

At the end of the lesson, again lect asked if there were any other questions. To which some smart alec from the back piped up 'Ask Hello Kitty~'

=_________________________________='''''''''''''''''

Tomorrow will be History of Art/Film, Design Fundamentals and Sculpting! Whoopee time to get my hands dirty!!!

psssst. I wonder what anatomy/ life drawing class will be like! We get to sketch nude models!!!

i'm gonna practise ALOT sia =D

Night.

Listening to: Dir en grey- Higeki Wa Me Futa Wo Oroshita Yasashiki

Hello. I've got artwork which i think are genuinely funny, which i will post another time.

For today, pls permit me to be self indulgent.

I like comin up with characters based on the people around me. i like pokin fun at their shortcomings, or individual quirks that make each person so dear to me.

that's my way of bein mean, cos it sure does make me feel alot happier bout myself.

then i'll always have one character that represented myself; an alter ego. but i'll feel an intense sadness whenever i breathed life into it. because this character would either be a) the Ann Jie i always wanted, and can never be, or b) what i really think i am.

lookin at the other people i've drawn, i'll suddenly feel extremely isolated.

i think i've forgotten what it's like to talk to my friends. to lay down my ego and reveal everythin that's botherin me to somebody who would listen. not go 'ayah, dont be stupid/dont think nonsense', or 'like that you scared arh!?' it'd be nice to have somebody feel the same tinge of panic.

i think i've even forgotten what it's like to listen to my friends. i liked that feelin, when somebody would come and pour out their heart, and you would sit down with her and just listen. it was comforting, to know that somebody would trust you enough to share her joy or pain. then you could laugh or cry along with her.

i think it's all my fault too- my fault that i cant have anybody to talk to. or have anybody come talk to me.

and i'm honestly terrified of the future.

half the time i wished i was younger, when they were definitely there to protect me. the other half i wished that i was now a grown woman with enough power to protect them.

then i would pray to god that i really dont need any lover or friends, all i needed was them.

i would be so scared that i spend my nights in tears, praying desperately that He wont take away the people that mean most to me, even though its inevitable that such a day will come. because i know ill never be ready for such a day.

i am afraid of being alone.

night.

For my 21st birthday...

I think it would be quite cool... if I could get myself inked.

However, doing so would most probably result in my family, boyfriend, and best friends abandoning me.

and i would also end up looking like some underqualified minah.

Listening to: Dir en grey- Jesus Christ R&R

MUSIC RELATED POST!!! as this is my blog i shall write about music i like. if you dont share my likings... well it's time you should =D

Heeheee... I'm in fangirly mode all over again... haiz I've been thinking bout the many years (since sec 2?) spent growing up on music that was (and still is) seldom appreciated by Singaporean females. people say that my choice of music is questionable and unbecoming of a lady. heck, since when have i been lady-like?

'why cant you like more... normal stuff? music is supposed to be soothing' is what my bf usually say. zzz, he never understood. =(

i do not like mainstream music.
but i do like pre 1990 stuff, which is why i listen to gold 90fm.

i do like rock very much.
but i do not like american rock (again, pre 1990 only)
my favourite rock genres are metal, speed/progressive, dance and experimental.

i listen to more bands than artists.
i like foreign music (japanese best duh).
then its very obvious i like Jrock and Jpop alot.
City pop's quite cool actually.

besides that, i do love classical music, and not because i had to study it religiously since 5.

so... i try to steer clear away from mainstream stuff bcos musicians tend to lose their 'power' or 'essence' once they usually do so. you know that musicians hit a 'low' in quality when the music they produce has to be brought down to the lowest common denominator so every tom, dick and harry can appreciate it.

i like it when musicians stay true to themselves, and continue to produce music just because its good, defying fame and billboard hits.

which is why... many years on, i'm very happy that my favourite bands are still so very 'exclusive'.

especially Dir en grey =))))

damn, Diru was the 1st Jrock band (XJapan is the 2nd one!) i listened to. i'm not sure what i should write bout them now.

I hold Diru very close to my fangirly heart bcos to me, they are the epitome of rebellion and individuality. the musical style, the lyrics, the way their stage presence and shock tactics transcend languages and boundaries without the need for a fancy set. their messages are a way of life already.

be still my heart, Kyo is an awesome vocalist. ive been spending the past few nights youtubing, and i still cant find any other singer to match him. he's just so... professional. if he sounds like that on a studio cut, he pushes to beat that live. i love how somebody can sing themself into a trance, transitioning immediately from non-human snarls to operatic vocals, tender soft cooing to ear splitting screams. each song is like a story that builds up in whoops and flings you back down in tears.

nvm that i dont get the lyrics, just by listening to the music- Diru's songs reflect the tragedy and ironies of life.

i like Die too. i love how each member of the band help to tell their 'story' in a song. it's like Hillsong but metal.

i hope Diru never lose their mettle. i hope that Kyo's pledge to never write a song with a happy ending stays true. because it just makes the music so much more... pure.

night =)
