If you frequent Youtube alot, I am sure you will not miss this out:
(Trust me, this orange LOOKS and SOUNDS irritating, but somehow its.... adorable in a way. HAHA)
Sometimes I just feel like punching and squashing it to a pulp! But I'll look twice before eating an orange now. (Who knows, my orange will start a conversation and annoy the hell out of me.)
...
Anyway, my exams are just around the corner.. AGAIN! Will not be blogging so much, but will try to!

Some blogshops really do get on my nerves (and I believe many others' too).
If you freaking' do NOT bother or GIVE A DAMN to put up an advertisement tagboard in your blogshop, then please refrain from posting your advertisements in others'. AS SIMPLE AS THAT. This is how everything works - in a 2-way basis.
I would say that you are a very selfish soul if you continue tagging on other people's boards and yet not allowing others to tag back. Please man, get yourselves a tagboard before you start spamming your way around. Stop being so self-centered.
Don't start a blogshop if you can't follow the basic rules. Thank you very much.

I guess I have been neglecting my blog for sometime now and am losing any reader(s) I may have. Haha... But I was really caught up in a hectic school schedule these days!
Nonetheless, am gonna update my life here nooowwww.
~~ Finally, after what seems to be centuries, I started participating in photoshoots again. (I guess whatever posing skills I may have had gone rusty already. Shucks)
Fortunately, I had a nice and accommodating photographer, William, whom was a fun guy to work with!
Here's a sneaaak peeek at the pictures from the shoot! Thanks, William, for the wonderful time and experience.. All photo copyrights to William!
Will be posting up more in time to come! :D

Probably it is just a passing phase of life that I believe everyone has to go through. There are times when I feel like an useless person, etc. I've always think that no one gives a damn about my existence, or whether I'm just another "extra" that's taking up oxygen on this earth. Depression? I don't wish, and WON'T EVER WANT to be associated with this word. I will always try all means to shield myself from all negative things that affect me, but how long can I hold on?
I'm angry. In fact, I'm infuriated. Not at the world and not at anyone in particular. But MYSELF. I can't seem to love myself the way I am supposed to as a human. I'm always looking down at myself, which, of course, naturally decreases my self-esteem level day by day. Why does everyone seem to have many attributes in them which I do not see it in me? Why do I always feel and witness the success of many, but not with me? Why can't I do a good job at the simplest little thing and tasks which I'm expected to? Why is it that I've always feel that I must be the one at fault when things go wrong? Why is it that I feel so inferior amongst people? Where is my minimum level of self-confidence? Do I even have it? Can I really survive and go far in this world if I continue behaving in such a way which I know I'm not supposed to? Will I ever get a taste of success in life, or is it only a dream-and will always be??
Oh gosh, I am only 20-year-old and all I could think of are depressing thoughts that are unhealthy- both physically and mentally.
Of course, I am well aware that there are many good friends out there who love me as much as I love them, and I really do appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. I am sincerely touched by all the concern and love I've been showered on. Love is definitely one thing that keeps me going, and I thank each and every one of you for enabling me to see that. I promise I will try to be a livelier person, and appreciate myself more. I need to see myself in a more positive light, which will probably take a much longer time than expected.
Time heals, and I trust that it can be the solution to all problems. I'll be looking forward to that.
P/S: Don't worry. I don't really mean it when I talk about suicidal thoughts... I'm learning to treasure my life and count my blessings. :) I will be alright. Soon.

With thanks to OMY and YESTERDAY.SG in their kind invitation for the official opening of IMPRINTS (located at Red Dot Museum), I rushed down after school yesterday and met Shrek, who was my companion for that day. (Thanks, Shrek!)
Well, if you haven't heard about IMPRINTS (A Yesterday.sg and Singapore Young Contemporary Artists Exhibition), then its time to check them out after reading my entry! It's a place filled with creativity and you'll be fascinated at some of the inspirational designs there, especially if you are a designer. More details about it are near the end of this post...)
Anyway, enough said. An entry without pictures are going to be a bore! I'm gonna start the ball rolling!
'When we first entered the exhibition, we were greeted by a warm welcome - together with door gifts that were served at the counter. (I totally LOVE the badges and lanyards which have the word "I love Museums" imprinted on it. So cool, can??! )
And here is one interesting design made out of small "chalkboards" and drawings on it that probably tell a story. (I didn't even realize it's a Heart shape while I was snapping close-up shots of the design! You can only see the shape if you step back.)
And here is something that fascinated me alot that was hanging on top from the ceiling. Its actually a light, designed from "acrylic rods". Those rods were actually bent individually, in which the light source passes through them to produce several "streaks of light". Honestly, whoever thought up of this is a genius. =D
At the other side of a wall, something "moved", which caught my eyes. Upon closer observation, I realized it was an illusion produced from just a simple-looking transparency sheet through a small tool hanging from the ceiling!
** I attempted to take a picture of the "illusion" on the wall. Its a vivid image, but I'm sure you will still be able to make out what's on the picture! Notice the door grills? ;)**
And here's the tool that projected the image: (Amazing, huh?)
Next, we proceeded to the displayed art pieces, and here's one of them I saw: (and really liked it!)
**From what I heard, these are actually daily snapshots taken by the artist.. and each of them has its own story to tell...**
And I got hungry just by looking at one of the snapshots: (It looks really 3-dimensional in this photo, right??! Its actually just a flat-surfaced snapshot!)
And a lovely canvas painting of another artist: (**This somehow reminds me of my old school days while I was still an art student. Hahaha.**)
One of the highlights of the exhibition was not only these art pieces, but an unique performance by one of the talented young designers, Kelvin.
Well, its really something I've never seen and experienced before! Its not your usual dance/sing/talent-showcasing performance... ...
But a performance that tells you his personal life story.
Personally, I feel that this is something special. When he was just beginning to perform, our heads were filled with million of questions when he was just doing normal stuff like folding papers and even opening a packet of MAMEE noodles. (And I was like, "What the heck is he doing?")
But somehow, I was intrigued by every little action he did as the performance went on. It was at the end of the whole performance that you'll realize and SEE the meaning behind it.
Basically, I feel that the whole of the performance is an art by itself. Very, very interesting.
Here's the final "product" when the performance ended. Everyone was rushing and eager to take photos of it. (including me. LOL) If you are wondering, those papers "hanging" on the small fences are actually reprints of the artist's original certificates that were soaking wet from being placed in the liquid-filled pot. The fence around it actually represents a "barrier" and "a form of restriction" as told by Kelvin himself.
:)
It was really a nice experience visiting the exhibition (I left feeling inspired! HAHA) , and yes, I urge everyone of you to go there with your friends and family members while its still available! These photos alone do not do it enough justice.
P/S: There isn't any photo(s) of myself as I wasn't in my best form yesterday, a.k.a "Bad Face Day". LOL. But anyway, the main focus is on the exhibition!!
AND here are the details:
Venue: Red Dot Design Museum
Dates: 6th to 11th May 2010. (The exhibition will only be here for a limited period. Do catch them while you can!)

And guess what?!?! I've finally signed myself up in a music school, after YEARS of procrastination. (Yes, my procrastination skills is amazing! I know that. LOL)
As if I'm not kiasu enough, I'd even expressed interest in joining my school's vocal, drama and keyboard lessons. (which have not commence yet, but probably soon!)
It was then that I realize that I may be neglecting my studies in some way... ... It's time to learn some juggling skills! (But one thing about me is that I love being occupied. Staying and rotting at home makes me feel like an useless soul.)
Anyway, I am currently looking for home-based jobs that enable me to earn some side income. If there are any of you out there who have good lobangs to recommend, please don't be a selfish soul and recommend me the job! =P
