I had a shock of my life when I was looking through my photos! What is Dave doing inside my camera?
Well, someone must have played with my camera during 3D Fundamentals class and actually took a 100% hilarious photo of Dave. Anyway, talking about my camera, I've finally finished modelling it for my first assignment. Ta dah!
Nice, right? Of course! Who am I? But I sent in the ugly one which is the one with the black background cause I didn't know how to render. Well, it's okay. There's always assignment two.
Here's something even nicer!
I was at Clementi interchange, near the old McDonald's the other day. It was raining really heavily and the ground was all flooded. I was walking down the stairs when I saw the reflection of the neon lights from the coffee shop. It looked pretty captivating and so I took it. But, I was given dirty looks when I took this photo cause I was blocking the already crammed passage way.

Good news! I got a B+ for my first drawing assignment! Yay.. I really thought I was going to get a C when I handed in my drawing. I just didn't have enough time to finish. Xin De was beside me when I was frantically trying to rush through my drawing. Then he said, "Why so white?" I looked back at the paper and got really worried. My drawing was really small and the shading was way too light. Ms Wendy also came and said, "You're so slow." She then helped me with the shadows and tried to darken my shading. Aisyah also came to help me darken it. (Thanks, Aisyah!) See? It was so bad that I needed so many people's help. When time was finally up, I handed in my unfinished piece and knew I was going to get a C. But in the end, Ms Wendy told me I got a B+ today! I was so shocked that I was expressionless. She looked at me and thought I was disappointed and she tried to console me, "It's quite an okay grade." Ha ha.. Yay to Wendy. Yay to Aisyah. Yay to B+. And yay to me! :)

I love being busy. It makes me feel that I'm making full use of my time. It makes me feel alive! Well, sad, sad, sad. I was looking through the sales record today at the art gallery and I found out that only three paintings were sold this month. One on 9 July and another two yesterday (12 July). Gosh, that explains why I haven't been able to earn any commission. Never mind, it's all about the experience. Who cares about the money?
Well sadly, I do. Oh.. Mummy. I'm only earning 5 bucks an hour and since I only work once a week every Sunday for seven hours, that means I'm only earning $140 per month. This measely amount won't be enough to feed a glutton like me.
Okay seriously, I'm taking in donation. Please call 1900-112-500 to donate $500 to Miss Su Xiangting now. Lines are open 24/7. Thank you for your generosity in advance.
By the way, I saw a really cute guy today. If you guys watched Hana Kimi, then you would know Sano. I saw this guy who looked so much like Oguri Shun (Sano) on the train today. He kept looking at me when I was reading yesterday's Today (newspaper). Either he thinks I'm cute or I'm weird. Must be the latter.

I'll be doing a little bit of back blogging here! Went to the Science Centre last, last Friday with Jaslyn. Kinda cool. There were some familiar exhibits but many more newer ones. We went to the Water: H20 = Life exhibition and watched Dinosaurs Alive at the Omni Theatre. I was telling Jaslyn that I want to be a student volunteer when I have the time. I still remember when I was still in Shuqun Secondary School, Mr Liu actually brought some of us to the Science Centre as student volunteers. I was with Crystal and we went around playing and even took the simulator rides for free! Well, those were the days. I feel so old now. I started my new job last Sunday (29 June 2008) at an art gallery. :) I so love my new job. Although is at Douby Ghaut which it's like so far from my house, but I really enjoy working there. The job scope is pretty simple. All you have to do is to sit there and relax, and just enjoy the paintings. I only have to work on Sundays. Plus, I get to have a 10% commission for every painting sold. BUT I haven't sold a single piece. Gosh, it's been two sessions. Not a single one?
We had movie marathon in SP last Friday from 8pm to 8am. But I had Astro before that so I was late. There was supposed to be an overnight star-gazing session but due to the clouds, it was cancelled. And so two of my Astro friends crashed the movie marathon. However, we only watched one movie - Rogue. The second movie was Ah Long Pte Ltd. But since we have already watched it, we decided to have a night walk in school but when we were at Food Court 5, we actually saw three metors consecutively. And so we rushed to the stadium to catch more metors instead. Then at around 4am, we walked to Clementi Central for breakfast and came back to the red bridge in SP at around 6am for sunrise. Well, it was really fun.
And after all of that, I actually stayed in school for a talk (Basic Care Giving Talk) organised by the SP Mentoring. The speaker was Paul Yuen. He's really nice but he's blind. I did enjoy the talk. It was only supposed to end at 3.30pm but I left early with Deva since I was so, so tired already. I'm not really a person who can remain awake for more than 30 hours. I'm more of a pig. It was really a long day for me but I love it. :)
Anyway, here's a good news! I'm taking up keyboard lessons in SP! Woot! It's freaking cheap. $54 for twelve lessons. Well, I had my second lesson last Tuesday. I was telling Pheobe and Jiajun last week after my first lesson that I want to learn An Jing (Quiet) by Jay Chou but I was only taught the theory. But surprise, surprise! Our second lesson was to learn how to play the chorus of An Jing. Yay.. I'm so in love with keyboard now.
By the way, my dad was surprised when I showed him my drawings. I don't know. Maybe he's always thought I could only draw stick men. Below is two of my only charcoal drawn pieces. The one on the left is my classmate, Darren and the other one is an old man which I drew from a photograph.
Li Ping or Pei Ling actually said the drawing on the left resembles Wu Zun (from Fahrenheit). Ha ha.. But that was only because she was looking at it upside down.
