We need art.

These friends of mine — theseartists — are doing something that borderlines on obsession.

They’re tirelessly working their fingers to the bone to create something important and meaningful.They’re spending more time on their craft than they ever will be rewarded for.

But it doesn’t matter.

Because they’re creating art. And while the “reward” may never come, they will leave a legacy.

Art allows us to see the invisible, to call forth truth and light in a world shrouded in darkness.

It speaks to most real part of ourselves, the part we’ve forgotten.

It transcends our current circumstances and gives us proper perspective.

We can’t face great art and not be changed. And the world most definitely needs to change — for the better.

Just checked my results like 2 days ago and though it could have been better, I thank God for it because it's not that bad (: Well at least I got the major of my choice, and that's all that matters because...who looks at gpa anyway?! And yup, I dropped the right core subject, the one I scored the lowest for hahahha.

Came back from genting 2 days ago and I had a really fun time with the Babsey and the Jun brothers. Not to mention the part where I was forced to take the rides in the theme park :S This is a type of fear that does not need to be conquered IMO. I feel so old. And it's funny how they renovated the bowling alley into one that looks lika club. Hahahha!

And we're off to hongkong in 2 days time and I'm reaaaalllyy looking forward to it because the whole family + Babsey + Brother's girlfriend is going! The last time we went it was only me and the marmite. I'm going to bring my sketchbook and tools along and hopefully get the chance to squeeze in some sketches. It'll be my first overseas sketching journal sorta thing. I hope. :D

Well it's Christmas tomorrow! I can't believe we're gna sing in church. hahahah. There's so many things to look forward to but i'm bored now I need to find something exciting to do!

Merry Christmas Everyone~

Finally! C:

The boy is finally back today and I can't wait to see him tmrw. ((((:

And so I managed to survive the past 2 weeks in hall alone! Well actually not really alone because of the awesome friends in cheer! Trainings have been so fun trying to hit/perfect the stunts with those weird people (: Having lunch dinner supper with them, mahjong and Saboteur sessions, and washing the terribly smell-lee cheer mats together. I enjoyed myself very much!

(Though I've so many bruises and injuries and over-stretched muscles, I think it's worth it)

And for those times when I was alone, HIMYM tide me through hehehe. :D

Maybe choosing to quit Aces was the right choice after all.

Come Back Quick ):

Missing the boyfriend so so so much right now.

My body is dying. Over-stretched and aching muscles and bruises. I can't even so proper stretching now because the pain is unbearable when I do.

I feel so unproductive and lazy.

Sucks much.

The No-Boyfriend Syndrome

I've been surviving quite well in hall and cheer practices have been really fun! Apart from the neck injuries and aching muscles...haha, i hope it heals before monday's practice. I can't believe I'm actually surviving hall life alone quite well. It must be the tiredness and the number of hours i spend sleeping/watching HIMYM!

(And the fact that I'm really looking forward to next Friday)

Decided to quit Aces after much considerations because of some commitment problems, and I actually feel quite relief. Maybe I should spend more time on school work instead when school reopens (:

Today I went to Chinatown with Leonard and Lizhi for some outdoor sketching session. Then headed to Orchard to find the Marmite and we did some shopping for our hongkong trip :D Managed to get a few clothes and a pair of pumps! Although we were both so shagged after that. Shopping is srsly the best form of exercise because:

1. You carry heavy bags of things around
2. You walk alot and you're motivated by nice looking things
3. You eat less while shopping
4. You feel so happy after that because you have new clothes to wear!

Yaay. C:

I thought I'd be suffering some separation anxiety with the boy away but so far I think I'm still fine hehe. Just really missing his face and the warmth of his body...

(And wondering what he's doing 24/7, ever since the last update text I received two days ago :'C)

STARWARS IN ADM

Loving the current colour of my hair.

I am so happy right now because I got all the teachers and time slots I wanted for the next semester, thank God really. He answers prayers just like that. Now 'm looking forward to the next sem! (:

Holidays are gna be kinda (very) sucky for me for the next two weeks because I'll be living alone in hall because of cheer. And the boyfriend is leaving for Thailand tonight until next Friday and 'll be a lonely soul )': I'll just be looking forward to cheer everyday, and looking forward to the end of next week. Time will fly like butterflies, right?

(And we should totally have more outdoor sketching outings, it's really very therapeutic)

I can get through this. Yes I can.

Sketching, Shopping, Eating, Chilling.

Decided to meet up with some classmates to chill and do some outdoor sketching today. Headed to The Sail @ Marina Bay with Leonard, Li Zhi, and Ivan. We went up to the 44th floor and the view was so awesome.

I decided on sketching individual parts of the whole scenery that caught my eyes.

The end products:

The Fullerton Hotel: the swimming pool surrounded by cute little trees

And a really random cluster of buildings that had orange rooftops. They reminded me of a fairyland, like houses wearing orange caps to block the sun. (:

Then went to meet the parents for some shopping + dinner! Had chinese food and ate xlb for the first time in my life. :D

The Major Results were out today, and I thank God that He has put me where He thinks is best for me (: Got into Vis Comm, my first choice and I thank God. So I am going to work hard, explore and have fun in this major!
