LOL i was like T.T haha but was good talking to tiff and nanlin. we walked past the SAM and i took a pic of the new structure/installation/monument or something. looks cute like as tiff said, a tied up balloon. ^^
these few days i've been on a tiny drawing spree. i've been trying to draw a portrait of Kate Winlslet with colour. i'm feeling abit down about it, many things i have to fix and am not really satisfied with. Nevertheless i'll just post it up...
and other thing i just remembered to include. this is the extract from esther's blog. rem to past around :)
"This is to appeal to you guys to help create better awareness to the plight of the children and and for those who can support, do give support and donate as we are raising donation for christmas.
* * *
Payatas, located located in the suburbs of Manila, Philippines, is called Smoking Valley. the biggest garbage dump in the Phillipines and one of the three biggest slums in the world.
Can you see tons of rubbish lying around?
I couldn't imagine myself living there, let alone children who are so much younger than me, climbing the moutains just to work and the earning of a child is not even enough to buy food. They collect materials from the dumps to sell, working daily in order to survive. In such a dump, children as young as four years old scavenge from early morning till late at night in order to help the ends meet.
And not to mention, the dangerous situation they were in. When there's bad weather condition, there's a very high possiblilty of landslides, which can crushed and buried over a hundred shacks belonging to scavenger families.
The Smoking Valley has grown to become a stark and heart-tugging reminder of the desperate conditions of humanity.
Watch the video, which highlight the situation:
Because of that, Totedaddy.com is working with Lighthouse Center For Children Foundation to bring a little cheer to the children this Christmas.
Totedaddy has kicked off with a cash sponsorship of USD 10,000 to enable the children to celebrate Christmas. FusionExcel International has also pitched in a USD 5,000 in cash sponsorship. The money raised will help fund the projects already in place, and help fund additional projects aimed at providing better housing, and a means of livelihood for the Payatas community.

yo folks, i'm back here typing once again. i've been feeling so sian and tiring these few days, things will be getting very busy soon... very soon i have to seriously look up a job and try to get everything done by friday, as i need the $$ to pay my sch loans, try to complete the drawing for the portfolio interview coming next year. in between i think i have to start making card for esther and also go for some church stuff. i hope i can get everything done well, i'm such an unorganised person.. i should continue my habit of being more orderly during my O lvls period. i have to plan my stuff.
ok 1stly heres the drawing wip2 of Switch. many things to plan. it will be a heavily concepted art ( even the idea is abit too technical for me, but experimenting is good :) ).
before my Os period, when i was still schling in CHEC, when out lunch with my schmates, came across this artwork display at cityhall. its a huge piece and gives very interesting perspective of 2 different images when view in red and blue coloured transparent medium. i saw this on the news quite sometimes before that, and was great to see it in real :) personally i prefer the red version, i feel the sadness of the child's face conveyed is very genuine, and i love the fantasy vibe and the other little ki peeking out at the right corner of the artwork. both versions i feel many people can relate to, really like it :D
okie dokie.. i have been going around youtube as usual these few days. i came across evanesence's music video ' Everybody's Fool', very long time since i last saw that video and i still think its very niceee, very arty, i love the whole concept ( man i feel as though i'm describing a drawing... >.< ), very MEANINGFUL. this video uses the exaggerrated perspective of a celebrity's insecurity and i feel anyone can relate to it in a way or another. one of my fav MVs ever!
i think there are somethings i forgot what i wanted to blog, but nvm i'll just leave it to here 1st :)
