hmmm these few days has been alot of ups as well as some downs. just some things i'm not proud of.. i also realize that its hard to maintain friendhips especially when it becomes as demanding as a relationship. its just demanding at the same time as between us, there is hardly any common interest and we can't relate to one another. i feel so tired whenever i have to lose my temper.. well.. i just rethink... why do i have to put so much effort into a friendship when it does not seem to other ppl now to me like a normal friendship. i'm thinking of keeping a distance.. at times i can relieve my stress, and other times it just gets on my nerves. its partially becuz i know i can't really put a full-on blame on anyone. i really hope to find a good friend that has the same interest as me, same understanding but not as hardheaded as me! haha its hard to get i guess. i feel as though i sound like a pri sch kid now wanting more friends.. feeling lonely.. i'm just feeling down. many times i think, i reflect on the things in my life. i wonder why God placed so many obstacles and it all seems really unfair eventhough i know its for my benefit of grooming my character and to be a better person. i really need God's strength but i'm not relying on it.. its almost as though i'm in distress... sry for my emo-ness

ok i'll just start on something. recently i bought Lady Gaga's CD. there were many comparisons made between christina aguilera and lady gaga. esp some spectaculations about christina imitating lady gaga's style. i think its just inanae to form that kind of conclusion. moving on to te positive side, i think lady gaga has great electro-pop style and i love her music. Songs like Paper Gangsta, Money Honey, lovegame and starstruck, i really like. the rest of the album is great too. there was just one disappointment. actually 2. the 1st disappointment is that the album is spoiled - the cover etc but luckily the cd is fine :). the 2nd disappointment = the CD did not contain one of my favorite songs from her! its called wonderful. sighz. but overall its a great album anyone should buy :)

recently i have completed a drawing called Feelin' Good. for this drawing, i wanted to attempt a simplier style and simplified concept. i intended this drawing to be a small uplifting image to viewers. the concept is waking up to a new day everyday with a positive attitude, looking away at the negative side of life. not a serious drawing, but i am satisfied with the outcome :).

i've tried to include certain pop elements and some illustration/fantasy/surreal elements.

Poem i wrote:
Feelin' Good

Its a new dawn, its a new day.
Look away from the ugly picture that situations sometimes toss at you
but focus on a brighter day.
I look high up towards the sky,
the Sun never forsakes me,
emerging behind the gloomy clouds
where I clearly see the silver linings
shimmering ever so brightly.
and I'm feelin' good, feeling great..

yoz! i just feel like blogging right now :).. i went out with the ah liang gang on tuesday. basically i met tiffany 1st and went together to lasalle college of the arts to complete my application matters. after that, we went to meet qiang and yb at the mos burger at bugis junction. had a nice chat then corrine arrived. later that day, corrine went home while we met up jessie at mac and then later junita. altogether i had a wonderful time that day. i realized that having a great time fellowship-ing with friends and other people, just as long as i'm normal, act as myself and relax more and being less anxious, it'll automatically be more fun :). ah liang gang they all are a bunch of nicee ppl :) hope to go out again! ha.. here are the photos we took on that day. :)

tiff and corrine

qiang punching me.. sooo candid la! haha

tiff, qiang, me and yb. yb's smirk is interesting haha. and i look super weird and awkward >.<

yong biao's bright side?... XD

the new couple in town???? hmmm yb and corrine! lol..

this is a random photo of qiang's shirt and jeans haha :D

corrine and yb again. qiang said like shampoo ad haha. yea abit lei! O.o...

there are still a few photos that qiang has not sent me coz my phone had too little space the other day. maybe i will just get those photos from him another day :). thanks for the company ar! :) i feel very thankful to know such nice ppl, its by God's grace. although sometimes i'm a little, or quite hard to bear with, you guys are still very patient :) i'll try to change, my impatient side. haha..

hmmm tonight i'm up awake. at times like this/today, i feel its hard to talk to talk to certain people given certain situations. i have to really learn to spread the gospel to non-christians. its because i realized that i am really terrible at it. i really need more of God's patience and to make good use out of it. its gets really frustrating and almost intolerable when people behave a certain way that is foreign in a way for my character and mind to analyze. the difficulty gets to a higher notch when the other party is not so versed with the language we are communicating with. but i know with God help and guidance i'll be able to improve that aspect of me :)
