i'm transforming this blog into an art selling site and i hope to upload artworks for sale soon. those works are not done by me but professional artists and most of them are original contemporary artworks. the prices shld be quite high. But i'll sell replicas of paintings by old masters such as the Impressionists and those prices will be less than SGD100. yeah, i'm practicing my skills as an art dealer so feel free to spread the message ard!

Argh... i have to unlearn everything and relearn the Chinese way of drawing still life: no smudging. That makes every object look as if its carved out from marble and an apple looks like a skinned one with chunks of the flesh removed. I absolutely hate that method of drawing! Why cant i adopt my own method?! i think i can finally understand why generations of artists have rebelled against their masters--- they want to create their own style. Do i really have to conform to that method of drawing??? I dont understand. I dont want to draw like how a chinese art student draws. It's all too rigid!

I have completed ONE drawing. yeah one drawing in 3 DAYS!!!! Oh my god...i cant believe i'm that slow. Come to think about it, i need to have 20 drawings for my portfolio and now i have only 5 or 6 that i can really be proud of. Argh!

the computer at home cant read pdf files so i cant memorise my SAT vocabulary. So i have nothing to do at home. Furthermore, i had finished reading 'Lolita' so i ( lucky me) found a book by Charlotte Bronte ( Jane Eyre) which is not translated and proceeded to read it when i'm bored. Speaking of 'Lolita', it is a rather disgusting book that seems to be written by a pedophile. I cant possibly imagine a 50 smth year old man lusting after nymphets. the way it was written seem comical but at the same time pathetic.

Mom isnt here yet so i cant go out cos everybody's so busy. there's a list of things i've yet to do.

*as to why i say this place looks like a perfect setting for a horror movie is because everything around here is coated with a thick layer of dust. At night, then the car cruisespast the trees they look like some ominous shadow. And they drooping leaves looks like some limpid seaweed draping the hull of a shipwhreck. Ah...gastly sight. I wouldnt dare walk alone at night cos, you see, the streets are pitch black.

This is meaningless, just meaningless, what's the use of a Facebook account anyway?

A portion of my "friends" are strangers to me and i bet you, the average Facebook user, don't know who a third of your "friends" are. Seriously, what's the point of adding strangers to your friends list if one, you don'd know them; two, you've hardly even spoken to them? Just today, i added this stranger to my friends list (usually strangers are sort of connected to me by mutaul friends). We have nothing in common--age, language, religion--he is from another part of the world. i've heard stories of predators preying on kids after they've befriended them or some member of a terrorist orgnisation recruiting members on the internet. these seem to be unhold assumptions but that person does seem suspicious. Since i dont frequent Facebook, i added him to my friends list. What harm can be done if i ignore his presence and accept the additional "friend" i have?

You know, research has shown that in MySpace, a potato has around 200 friends. That is UTTERLY RIDICULOUS! I cant comprehend how can a potato befriend so many people without the human tools of communication. Maybe, the notion of friendship has become so diluted in our age that it is regarded as next to nothing at all.
