Inspiring Cellist



been listening to Memory & Ending by Joe Hisaishi
his cello pieces inspired me to play cello
- a instrument tt i never have interest in -
guess how huge the influence is to me from this musician
i was so caught up with the tunes
as much as i was indulge in jap films and theatre play

i consider myself lucky,
as i'm going to learn cello in mid april :)
heard from my string ensemble friend tt the cello teacher was a SSO cellist
perharps i should go for one of the SSO cello solo concert soon :)
my goal - to play Departure's Memory & Ending by Joe Hisaishi

Night Tests Result

did the test in facebook AT NIGHT IN MY CAFE
I love maths ...... Ideal Job - Photographer

???????????



if i am still in lasalle, i would spec for photography
which i always wanted to when i was 17 ....

true enough to believe? or do i still have to trust my own instinct?

I din draw

been walking here and there as i ditched public transport
din draw anything till now .........
landed in my cafe at armenian street
dinner

Unprofessional Freelance Photographer


I MET A TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER !

tot of giving each other a chance to learn in portrait photography
but this freelance photographer - i dun wanna stat the name
accuse me of writing bad comments in his site
wat the hell is going on? i DUN EVEN HAVE A MULTIPLY SITE !
if he doesnt wan to send my my picture,
cos he think that his skills are too lousy,
open your mouth and say !
i have never seen such a unprofessional photographer at all !
tt's why most ppl say - NEVER ENGAGE WITH A FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHER
fortunately, i rejected him for bikini shoots in those ulu ulu places

CONCLUSION
NEVER DO OUTDOOR SHOOTS WITH A FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHER WHO TAKE PICTURES FOR THEIR OWN DESIRE

Weekends getaway





did a age test in facebook & my result is 8 years old -.-



taken on wed evening in e dance studio at 6.10pm
landed outside Plaza Sing t roam around Tiger Translate exhibition
my camera came out with me without her partner - battery
got these 2 fuji polariod taken


disadvantage of polariod - lights are STRONGLY needed


ARTISTS
have you ever tot of something?
when you have no inspiration for an art work,
will you transform your relationship with e one you LOVED once,
into one of their art piece?
or perharps, turn hatred into a spetacular art work?
where comments fill almost 10 pages of the guestbook


DANCERS
would you choreograph a dance bitterly sweet ?
ever left someone beloved, forever ?
departure of the beloved, left you wander for days
finding no reason to wake up in the morning
memories keep you everyday
impossible to move on, impossible to live alone
impossible to accept the reality
finally, you receive appluses below the stage
when you left your tears on the stage

it's a heart aching
the final pieces are stunning......

Saturday Hatred & Love

drizzling.............
chatting & chair dance from 1pm to 4.30pm - tiring T_T
performace for club crawl in 23rd April
my new friend's 20th birthday

went to upper thomson for prata, curry isnt tt spicy as in school

too tired - went home to rest
no rest - re-arrange my photo album
I HATE RAKING UP THE PAST !!!!!
combine all the pictures from the 2 album into 1
leaving an inch in height of them aside tt i dun like

realised how excited it was to capture with a film camera
i'll be waiting for the photo to be develop the next day
with the feeling of " how will we look in our photo."
SINGULAR TENSE - we only take photo once and for all for that specific day
unlike nowadays, w digital cam, we love to take photos of the SAME post
OVER & OVER again :)

hating for the limited space at home
i start to hate arranging photos in a album
i'll rather stick them onto the wall i have in my room
a little mess - no, it's very messy
but they're eye candies @.@



i long wanted a space for my darlings

and i miss them :

My Ideal Living Space


image taken during an exhibition few mths back @ Old School's Art Studio
fell in love immediately with the location ^-^



above is my ideal space for everyday living

white is the primary color of the interior
enough space for the sun's ray to pierce thru the glass planel & curtains into the huose

a few furnitures tt take up only 1/4 of the house
huge space for my art pieces & mini studio for all discipline tt i'm learning
little corner to store art stuffs & diff texture of papers & cloths
leaving a vertical space for lomo wall
as well as a space for dance practises & light stretches

a basket for all stationery from pencils to stick glue
self made bookshelve to store JUICE, CATALOG, BAZAAR & AMICA mags
apparel stand for my beautiful and self made cloths
selfmade shoe stand for my flats & heels & white slipper
a few mirror on a few funitures

mini radio is essential for receiving Sympnohy 92.4 & Class 95
not forgetting to have a huge bed & lotsa pillows in the house :)

I met my Monster


days sucks ..... T_T
i'm on holidays, again ....
bored - it seems like i've travelled enough
time to settle down but i've gotta travel again
anyone wanna be my travel companion?
leave $$$$$ issue aside =)
visited my old friend, Dipak, bloggy
e images he posted in his bloggy left me wander



i love these 2 images from his blog
coincidently, both of them are taken from some angle tt result in this




also, both are composition related to the air
tt leave me thinking of wat i want in life
i wan a lot of things
but one main thing i wan to do before i die
is to travel with one big suitcase
to countries such as Antartica, Africa, India, Egypt
Paris, France - Eiffel Tower & meet Karl Lagerfeld
Japan, Kyoto - Kyoto Station & Kyoto Tower

best place of 1st day visitation will be the museum & fountains
best thing to do 1st is to snap pictures with a polariod / film cam
best place to eat will be their street stall & cafe
best accomodation will be hostel or just camp on the streets
( sleeping on public transportation is another good idea )
best attire would be white singlet w/ black cotton jacket, shorts with black leggings & black flats

seems like those above sentences were done by me in SINGAPORE
yes, i do sleep in MRT & in bus, hurhur ........

Departures




i'm always brought into jap film be it vintage or modern film
last nite, i was so caught up into a film entitled "Departure"
it'll be in GV cinema from 5th March
& i've watch it on 4rd March evening @ 7pm
thanks to Hajar as she got 2 tix as a member SFS

Departure is a movie bout a cellist (Daigo)who loses his job and must move back to his hometown.
Desperate to find a job, he answers an ad listed under departures,
which turns out to be misspelled.
It was supposed to say the departed,
the job pertains to dressing, washing, and putting makeup on the deceased before the funeral.

Departure official homepage:

http://www.okuribito.jp/

it is a very touching & peaceful movie,
nearly cried till e end when the public bath aunt die
as well as when Daigo mistaken his father as a irresponsible person


though thr're some scene tt i wish i din see it bout cremation
i'll be glad to watch it again w/ a friend
to bring me back into the story again
as well as to immerse in the melodies played by the cello

Wykidd Song & Old School

heard from 2 friends tt wykidd is a fashion designer for song & kelly
decided to look for more info bout my fav local designer


Source from
http://www.sghousing.com/2007/11/08/old-school-new-ideas/





Source from


found out tt his space & workshop is @ old school @ mount sophia
a place tt i go when i'm @ douby - my fav art space

sometimes, things get so coincident
without myself knowing
it's like a shadowless object tt have been following me
or rather, i've been following a shadowless object for months

i sketched the necklace during my stay @ Haji Lane
reference from a brocher of Wykidd's Jewellery


- Rodium Black Gold Necklace w/ Black Diamond -

i was so in love w/ jewellery design at one point of time
when i was wearing different earrings & rings
decided to combine my interest with sketches
although i dun have a workshop to crave my fav piece out
sketches are a way to satisfy my desire in another way

while i was skecthing the curvy and drawing the little round circles
which i nearly got hooked by tt,
i was thinking - was it how the designer did his sketch as well?
-wat was his feeling @ tt point of time when he did his sketch?
keep on erasing while the drawing keeps going till it get perfect


realised tt design cant get away from my life
i love to draw - be it from a photograph or still life
probably it's a inherited from sec sch days when i was a art student ........

hope to see wykidd again and chat with him bout DESIGNS
