i feel like i'm in a countryside now. the tenant in the next room is strumming on his guitar and humming to it. and outside my window is the garden and mountains. if not for the stupid illustration assignment that i have to do, it would be so nice.

topcities is really unreliable. just a few days ago, it was hacked into by some azjerkiban-something group.

why is everybody going back to singapore for december holidays? it's only a three week break! don't they have to chiong any assignments or whatever? and don't they want to see europe in christmas? plus the air ticket back home costs a bomb. a very very big bomb. unless i'm a scholar of sia, i wouldn't want to fly back home just to spend 3 weeks there. so not worth it.

actually i don't miss singapore as much as i miss my friends and family. it's very difficult to click with the people here when our culture and hobbies and everything is so vastly different. and it is even more difficult to click with girls because once they found a friend at the start, they will stick to each other like super super glue. what they say about it being difficult to break into a girl's clique is so true. they will giggle about their own inside jokes and leave everybody out. it's so much easier to hang out with the guys. and it doesn't help that everybody in my french class is a guy and all the english speaking people i know here are guys. and it is even worse when my bestie is sewook who is a guy. i don't want turn into a guy! i need a female friend! even an androgynous friend like phua also can!

and speaking of my french class, smelly plm went back to panda-land. because according to the other plm who doesn't stink and is skinny and is so much nicer, smelly plm could not handle the difficulty of the french universities and he went back home to prepare even further before coming back next year. so no more plm! and i don't have to do roleplay with him anymore! YES! and i get to pair up with sewook for discussions! and sewook cannot pronounce "je" properly. "je" as in "j'ai" or "jean" or "jambon". he keeps adding a "d" sound to the front so it becomes "dje!". apparantly, in korean, there is no word that has the "je" sound in it. i asked him about jeju and he said it is not pronounced the way i did it. wow. i never knew.

ok better start on my illustration assignment now.

yay i am in high spirits! because mr sng is pleased with the comic i did for him! :-D

i sacrificed 2 days consecutive worth of sleep for it(by sleeping at 5am). i was unconscious on the train ride from grenoble to switzerland because of that. and i had to stalk mr sng on facebook to do the character designs. luckily he never do those kind of fb application like "who is your #1 stalker ob facebook?". and i had fun including random people into some panels (eg vivi, caobushuang, leowtienleng and kenghoe appeared together in the same panel. and then chip and phua in another). and i also went to stalk chip on facebook because her 2e photos got some supra nice reference poses. for 2 nights i was an active mr sng/chip stalker. and mr sng liked it in the end! YAY!

anyway, i was watching 幸福双人床 starring who else but TAYPINGHUI!

the dialogue is hilarious i tell you. there's this part where he was quarreling with huangbiren on the car.
T:你不懂的啦!
H:什么我不懂?!
T:说了你也不懂!
H:是啊!是啊!我什么都不懂!你不讲我怎么懂?! 每次以为我是黄脸婆,什么都不懂!
T:我几时酱说过!如果今年CLAIM INSURANCE 的话, 明年的保护费会很高 O.K! 我要买那个 车牌给他中一个头奖!
H:要死啊!刚刚赔了200块你还花钱去卖4D!!!烂赌鬼!
T:我就是因为赔了200块所以要买马票补回去!
H:补你的头啦!输死你!!!
T:你有问题啊!还没有买你就咒我!!。。。看啦!!!走错路了啦!
H:要死啊!走了几百次路都走出来还敢怪我!
T:开车要专心的啦!你嘴巴在那边嘀嘀哒哒嘀嘀哒哒的!你懂听你讲话很辛苦吗!!男人不像女人, 同时可以做很多事!
H:那你又可以一边大便一边看报纸?!!
T:那是因为在厕所里面,你才不会跟进来唠唠叨叨!
H:我真的是瞎了眼睛才会嫁给你!!
they say it very quickly and very agitatedly! supra funny! and in the end they got into an accident because huangbiren tried to pull the brakes but taypinghui wouldn't allow her.

anyway i am going to start watching qi e papa on tudou. YAY FOR MEDIACORP IN FOREIGN LAND!

i am suffering from low morale right now. if i were more emo, i would say i am depressed and go off to slit my wrists.

but i am sane and i will analyse why i am in low spirits.
a)my dream to become a successful mangaka seems so far away. and i don't know if i will really ever even become a mangaka. usually they will start of as apprentices and then join competitions and then get published. and here i am stuck in france. i think i need to master japanese before i can even be an apprentice. and that will be light years away.
b)why am i bonded for 5 years??? such a f***ing waste of time. to be in the corrupted e******** system being one of the losers, commuting to work, having the soul sucked out of you. my plan to be published have to be put back by 5 years. how am i going to fit in getting married and having kids somewhere along here? i really am selling my soul.
c)self-doubt. can't even come up with decent stories. can't even tell a decent story. bad inking skills. bad panelling skills. rarh.
d)lack of exercise. a healthy body comes hand in hand with a healthy mind.
e)homesickness. okay not that much. but still yes.
f)holidays end today.

-_-||||| i've hit somewhere above rock-bottom. not rock-bottom because rock-bottom has to be 10 times worse. but somewhere above. maybe 10 storeys up. how low is rock bottom anyway? 5000 storeys below sea-level? who came up with the word rock-bottom. who says rocks are always at the bottom? many rocks make up a mountain. i'm sure the rocks at the peak of mount everest are not at the bottom.

i need mediacorp. i need to watch taypinghui in action.

(why is mediacorp doing another lin yiqin character again??? zomGG!!! where is the creativity man!)

i hate panda-land men! they are so gross!

i got paired with the stupid panda-land man(plm) today in language class instead of my bestie sewook (WHY! I WANT TO PARTNER SEWOOK! HE'S MY ZUI JIA PAI DANG! WHY WE CANNOT CHOOSE PARTNERS!!!). and stupid panda-land man is very fat and is very smelly. and we were supposed to do role-playing of a medical visit. and plm just keep mm-ing and ah-ing and refuse to tell me what he want to say! for goodness sake! i understand chinese (or since we are dealing with a plm here PU TONG HUA)! and in the end it was so frustrating trying to guess what he wanted to say. i hope the next time the teacher don't pair me up with plm. please for goodness sake, let me partner sewook. or let me partner mr nice-smile simon or mr handsome-dutch joris. OR ANYONE EXCEPT PLM! GAH!

i also want to do recalling of sova artists! because i realise that i have forgotten a lot of them!

CATEGORY A: easy-to-crap-about-and-we-like-them
1)Mr Brancusi: we all love mr brancusi. who is a simple man with simple sculptures and simple but powerful ideas. he loves nature and so we love him.

2)Mr Ron Mueck: we like mr ron mueck because his sculptures are very dynamic and talk about humanity in a loving and accurate way. he likes people and so people like him back.

3)Mr Pablo Picasso (non-cubist period): we like mr picasso because his style is very cool and he sympathises with the lower-class poor people. and he doesn't like war and wants world peace and equality. then he was lead astray by his les desmoiselles d'avignon and everything just went downhill from there.

4)Mr Alberto Giacometti: we like him for his famous exclamation: and HOP! they disappear! and he is easy to talk crap about. just talk about how he wants to portray human fragility and loneliness in the modern world and the teacher will give you high high marks.

5)Mr Van Gogh and Mr Munch: we like them because they have cool names and their emo art pieces are very powerful in conveying ideas. and also of course because they are easy to crap about. the key words to use with them are: emotional turmoil.

CATEGORY B: difficult-to-understand-but-we-like-them-nevertheless
1)Mr Warhol: ok maybe it's only me who find it a little difficult to write an essay about him. but mr warhol is too cool to be unlikeable. he likes celebrities and cool popular stuff. so he has to be popular with us also!

2)Mr Beuys: i always spell his name wrongly. and his fat and felt is very difficult to understand. but we know he loves the world and animals and thus he is a nice man and we like him too.

3)Mr Magritte: he has very perplexing ideas but his works are so bizarre, it takes an uber cool person to be able to produce it. and we love cool people.

4)Mr Duchamp: we like him because he like to play practical jokes on high-art and the lousy people at the famous atas museums (show them not atas also can win one ar!). but then again, he is the father of all the shitty artists.D-:

CATEGORY C: easy-to-crap-about-but-we-don't-like-them
1)Mr Bayu Utomo Radjikin: i remember always using his Screaming Warriors as comparison works to sculptures. and i remember getting >8/10 for the comparison. either i'm damn pro (which i don't think so) or he is very uber easy to talk nonsense about. we don't like him because he is boring.

2)Mr Damien Hirst: we don't like him because he is a murderer. and we are pissed his sucky works get to bring in millions of dollars. and we hate his meaningless long titles that we have to memorise (eg. Isolated Elements Swimming in the Same Direction for the Purposes of Understanding. which consists of some fishes preserved in formaldehyde in a vitrine. and you tell me he is not giggling evily in his chic brit bungalow while we study him for sova)

3)Mr Dede Eri Supri: we don't like him because he thinks he is going nuts breathing in all his paint fumes. sorry but we don't like crazy/mad people.

CATEGORY D: boring-people-whose-works-are-all-the-same
1)Mr Wang Guangyi: he is a total copycat of Mr Warhol. bloody plm. no idea then don't be artist la. go back to your farm and be a farmer.

2)Mr Jackson Pollock (and his Singapore artist double whom i cannot recall the name of): i can't make head or tail of what his drip paintings are about. and i don't like his works. and i don't like him.

3)The Nanyang Artists: sorry but you guys are indistinguishable. can you have some creativity in naming your works and don't just use "Singapore River" all together. makes you guys even more indistinguishable.

CATEGORY E: WTF?!-WHY-ARE-WE-STUDYING-YOU-AGAIN???
1)Ms Amanda Heng: yes you know you belong here. wtf are your art pieces about we never know. why in hell are you even celebrated by singapore we never know. all we know is you suck and how dare you come out for a levels????!!!

2)Ms Mona Hatoum: i can describe you using one symbol: ?. i have no idea what is going on with you and your artworks. i have zero impression of your artworks except for the woman bathing video one.

3)Ms Lucia Hartini: YOU ARE IN A CULT! don't try to brainwash us using your cult-like paintings of Young Man in May or of the scary woman clad in blue with cyclops-like beams shooting out from her eyes.

4)Ms Kartika Affandi: you need to see a doctor. your paintings are incomprehensible and disturbed.


oo. it seems that category e consists of only female artists.

have you ever painted something and be scared of it?

my colour assignment looks so scary! i am scared of it!

its a freaky man with bad skin sitting down! ZOMG! he look so freaky!

no wonder the person who painted the woman and child painting left it in dhs. probably too scared of it to bring it home.

O_O ITS SO FREAKY! i'm locking it in my cupboard so the evil aura from the painting can remain there.

zomg. i need to bring out all my buddhist charms and put around me.

inoue takehiko is turning me into a gigantic otaku. T-T

while the dhs stomp forum thing is being blown out of proportion and has currently swelled to a size even bigger than kanye west's head, i was busy gaping at vagabond and buzzer beater on mangafox.

you tell me. how is this allowed to be in a manga? it makes all the other mangaka look like primary school art students. when i go back to singapore, i make sure i will go kino and buy full set of vagabond. (can you believe in france carrefour, they have naruto and bleach and stupid 萌え manga but ZERO of inoue's work! NOT EVEN SLAMDUNK! wtf! slamdunk is a classic! why don't they have it!) and i recently started reading buzzer beater which is about aliens playing basketball. zomg! it is so good ok! it features signature inoue takehiko themes like never-give-up, team spirit, and the process of growing up through trying experiences. and of course friendly rivalry between 2 members of the same team. which we all know is a must in any sports manga.

WTF!

and you should see the stuff he does for commercials. :-O i like the one for shisedo. which can be understood and appreciated by everyone.


my ultimate favourite of the favourites mangaka.(even more than hiromu arakawa!)
:-)))))))))

and the stomp thing is 太 over 了! OVER you know! why do you want to tell everybody about it? so we can all come and defend the school name? so that we can feel indignant? ON BLOODY STOMP??? for goodness sake! everybody knows that forums are filled 99.9999% by people who are all talk and no substance. and it is even more so for stomp! where its inhabitants take photos of really really lame stuff like: kid doesn't give up seat to the needy! girl smoking at non-smoking area! used pads on toilet hooks! stuff that nobody gives a shit about! and don't you think you can show your support for the school in other ways? i don't think defending it on STOMP -__- is one of the better ways. and finally, everybody knows that you don't air your dirty linen in public! or hang your used pads on public toilet hooks! so why are you still propagating it? the thread is not a bacteria! it does not need to undergo binary fission every millisecond. do you have such a f**king big mouth that you need to use it all the time to blabber some shit to some other people for some god-knows what twisted logic that exists in your mind?

, please stop.
