Okay lazy to blog now, but queued up stuff on my art blog which will probably give you an insight on what happens in army. Mainly planes, birds, clouds, counting of days and the female species which Tekong seems to be missing.
Got them queued to release once a day or something so I can pretend to be around in my virtual life while i'm sucking up to the sun and learning to shoot guns in real life (:
But maybe i'll blog here tomorrow. Right now its coffee and movie, Hurt Locker!

Interlude
Well if that made my day. I definitely hope it would happen more often. I could do with alot more little make-my-days.
Okay haven't been updating the blogger for a bit, because lately I've been busy with some video making thingy for some uni application, but the other blog is still very quite alive!
Sometimes I do wonder why on earth do I need 2 blogs for, one for art and one for life when I can throw everything together.
And then I realised; Its the perfectionist instinct kicking in. Things that can be sorted shall be sorted.

It's Been...
...Months since i last posted (Bad lag due to the month long trip to Hungary and all the applications to places and all the distractions which come along with the discovery of free time ever since the end of school and JC life).
Hungary turned out pretty well! Going there definitely helped both training wise and for experience. Teaches you alot how to fight. And here's a bunch of photos! Could have taken more though, but training most of the time makes it hard to carry the camera around and sometimes you'll be too dead tired to do anything else.
Pictures (Possibly) in order. This are the better ones i think. Because Flickr has its 100mb limit. ):
On the way to Vac from the airport. I love this shot so i shall make it damn big. Almost like flying.
Considering the fact that i've not updated since Hungary, looks like i've missed out Christmas and New Year posts. Ouch. (Laziness is getting back into your bonessss).
Part of Vac. Its a quiet little place there, with nice people and all. Hot wine and Milka chocolates! I miss the food there. Nevermind, unrelated with photo.
Love the streets there too. They are nice and have this aura of coziness. And they got those old cars too! (I know Lada sucks but i think they look nice somehow)
And here's how the city hall looks like. Old-ish but really beautiful somehow. The white building there is the church, but sadly couldn't get a proper shot of the inside because of my loud shutter and terrible handling of lighting D: The interior is jaw dropping, i swear.
A pretty flower in a vase. At the restaurant where we had our meals in almost everyday. Its a warm little restaurant in some underground cellar (or bunker?) which had brick walls like castles and dim yellow lights. And the food was damn good. Haha.
Coach's bro was nice enough to give us a tour of their local fire station which he works in. He has two cute daughters too.
And no. one is a few months old? (I think) And the other is 3 years old.
Of course alot of time to explore, for example the many playgrounds all over the place. They got awesome swings. (Okay luh, ordinary swings, but Singapore seems to be lacking those so whatever :P)
Oh oh, and we went cross country skiing too! But i don't have photos of those. I make a lousy photographer sometimes.
And of course, coach's very fat dog, Pocak. He's damn smart though. Coach says all he does is eat, sleep and play, which is why he is so fat. So he got to climb up the mountain with us. (I've got mountain pics though! Which i will spam in the next few posts. Or next month. When my Flickr account quota is reset.
And at the local train station in Vac. We didn't always train. We had sightseeing too...
...to Budapest! I love this shot too. Budapest is a nice sort of place, with some really awesome architecture too. They have their version of Singapore's open air market too, where they sell a whole assortment of stuff, from food and paprika to toys and cutlery. Except their ones aren't too open, but in a enclosed shopping centre like place due to the seasonal weathers.
Here's an edited version. Like one of Suzie's strange pictures with words.
Shoot all the panorama's seem better big, so click them!
The Parliament house here
The view from the same place. It was chilly there.
And one of the statues there with the bright blue sky
And some random awesome graffiti on the way up!
We also went trekking on the free days where we couldn't ski at first because of the lack of snow at times
The view from the castle at the top of a huge mountain/hill
Hero Square, before we went to the mass hot bath over there in Budapest, which was awesome anyhow. Its like a massive relaxing pool with hot water in the open. During a chilly winter night. Too bad Singapore doesn't have one of those. Haha.
And of course, I miss the snow. Pity Singapore doesn't have seasons. Heh.
Well better (very) late than never. I guess i could start thinking of month-after-new-year resolutions at the moment too.
So this is how it goes,
Well I.
I would have never known
2009 has been a pretty strange year both good and bad i guess. Actually now, thinking about it, JC years seem to be the ones which teach you the most. And i'm beginning to feel that with the older you get, the more you learn, doesn't seem to make things alot easier in certain ways. Sometimes i get this feeling that there were some things which i could have done better, more different, in JC, but when i think about it again, maybe its those things which i've learnt alot more from than anything else.
That day i went back to school to chat a bit with the teachers since swimming training at NUS was pretty nearby (Yes, there is swimming training for canoeing now. The Past seems to have a sense of humor.). Walking into school was much more nostalgic than i had imagined. For the first time, it wasn't the kind of feeling you get when walking into school every morning during the past 2 years; the kind where you walk in with a sense that there's a day's work to be completed, there's a favourite lesson you're looking forward to (Art!), there's a terrible training after school when you're dead tired, but you still go do it anyway because its something you must do (Well some of it you don't want to do of course). Instead it feels like you've done all that; there's no sense of rush or dread of deadlines, but at the same time, it makes you feel kinda empty. The kind of feeling you get when suddenly you realise, you have no more guide-to-life school schedule, no more aims, particularly one which i like, quoting Aiman on facebook:
"i miss the days when NS meant National Schools"
which is part of the reason why i decided (with a slight loss of common sense) to join the 36km Singapore Canoe Marathon just a few days after Hungary. At least its something to make me work for.
While sitting about in the art room and admiring the pieces of the current batch of year 6s and at the same time watching them rush around (A few of them asking me for wisdom and guidance which was rather awkward, considering that there's alot of things in art which i still wonder how i managed to get done), it took me some time to finally come to the conclusion that i'm gonna miss school. ALOT.
No more sleeping over in school for art
Last minute rushing with art buddies too,
Cycling the corridors at night,
Looking for the right moment to talk to certain people,
Drawing in lessons (I think my most creative ideas were inspired by those rather humdrum lectures and lessons of certain subjects)
Prata in school (Food will always be an integral part of school life. In all walks of life actually)
Free periods (Though i got alot of free time now, i think free time is sweeter when you don't get it so often)
Training for National Schools (In my opinion, the most nerve wrecking and important of all competitions in my school life)
Sitting around the pond bitching about life.
etc etc.
Haha I miss school basically. Freaking nostalgic post.
So back to the past. I guess i learnt alot. (Probably in order?)
Not to love, then look for what you want, but rather the other way round; maybe i'm wrong but who knows? I'm still learning though.
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught to me lie
To think before speaking, not speak before thinking, because words aren't forgotten easily.
Not to be overconfident with what you have, but with enough confidence to know that you have it. To be satisfied with what you've got, instead of being jealous with what you don't.
Probably the hardest was learning when its time to let go, and then again, fighting for what you don't want to lose. And again, learning not to keep just because its there.
I learnt not to hate without knowing, because people are alot different from what others portray them to be. And at the same time finding people you can rely on when the going gets tough.
Strangely, its not the experience in doing art which taught me quite a bit, but the experience which comes with doing art; learning not to shy away, have confidence and courage to do the unexpected, because sometimes the random shit like this can turn out pretty good.
Enjoying what you do, because it makes a difference with how you do it; along the way learning that hard work pays and its not too late to try.
Probably after all those up and downs, realising that Adidas might actually be right somehow

And The 13th Brings Us Closer To The End
Alright i got loads of stuff to put up and hopefully i can get this all done before the internet cuts. From art, (I know, its weeks ago but IB sucks free time out of life) and the last day of school today.
Well last day of school. Sadly.
Last year, Leemin told me that last day of school was sad. I didn't really believe. Back then in Sec 1, i couldn't wait for school to end.
Damn you time for passing so fast. There is so much left to do. So much left to say. So much left to change.
But i've kinda gave up thinking to myself that i can turn back time if i wished hard enough (Yeah i used to think that way. Like we COULD be dreaming but whatever. Ignore this ><) So what else can you do?
I say, slow down, and take everything in.
There's so much out there i swear.
P.S. Long post ahead. Click to enlarge (Actually i think you should know X))

JGoh's and back to Zhan Feng.
And back to my gallery! Here's a close up of the works i have done. Hopefully i'll have time to write a short explanation for each piece but i can't promise (Stupid internet timer, check back the next day, the descriptions will be up then) The pieces are arranged in order of date they were conceived(Videos will be added soon! Check back later if you don't see it!) Videos are up!
Anyway using Zooomr for the time being coz i can't upload anything till next month coz i've hit the upload limit for Flickr

(Wow okay that was long, and i haven't even loaded the videos yet. Still uploading on youtube. Ohwell! Looks like i'll do descriptions tomorrow. Anyway feel free to drop comments about my art,descriptions will be uploaded tomorrow!) (Descriptions another day people, IB exams first ><. The video ones are up on the youtube page though.)
I miss the art camping in the art gallery. So much stress, so much fun. And we made it! Awesome job art people. I kinda wanna go through that stressful hell again. Its really nice working day and night, feeding on sugar crackers and grapes, coffee milk and gummies. Singing out loud and knocking out on the couch, sawing random things and doing random crap. Almost falling asleep during econs paper 2.
There's so much left to learn. I learnt alot from art, i know.
How to treasure time; to see ordinary things in extraordinary ways. To keep going when everything is dragging you down, not to keep everything in out of fear, but to just sing it out loud.
Hell, can we just do this again?
~~~
The last day of school is a pretty sad thing. Its one of those days which you usually don't give shit about it because, well, it just feels like it'll never come.
But it does come and smacks you right in the face. I don't know about you, but i feel really down about it. Nostalgiaaaa. Its not about not coming back to school again. Its actually more about the things you do and the crap you go through with everyone else in the cohort; the random events (broken SAC door, throwing people in the fish pond, bouncing balls across the bridge, etc) and experiences as a class (WOW and all those buffets).
Aye. I hate losing friends the most though. No matter what they say, the fact is that sometimes some people just disappear from your radar. I hope not to many though.
Anyway midway through the last day celebrations and laughter, there's one thing i realised.
Yeap, I miss ACSI as much I miss SJI.
):
At least its not the end yet
:D
Should have taken more photos today but i guess these few will do!
6.08 and their randomness at the fountain!
Food as usual! Pizza and cake was great.
More of that
The classroom...
...and the class
Aye. Looks like the good in the year's gonna outshine the crap haha.
Like summer sunshine
Alright, alright, slow down.
There's alot more lined up for you.
Well last day of school. Sadly.

(Wow okay that was long, and i haven't even loaded the videos yet. Still uploading on youtube. Ohwell! Looks like i'll do descriptions tomorrow. Anyway feel free to drop comments about my art,
I miss the art camping in the art gallery. So much stress, so much fun. And we made it! Awesome job art people. I kinda wanna go through that stressful hell again. Its really nice working day and night, feeding on sugar crackers and grapes, coffee milk and gummies. Singing out loud and knocking out on the couch, sawing random things and doing random crap. Almost falling asleep during econs paper 2.
There's so much left to learn. I learnt alot from art, i know.
How to treasure time; to see ordinary things in extraordinary ways. To keep going when everything is dragging you down, not to keep everything in out of fear, but to just sing it out loud.
Hell, can we just do this again?
~~~
The last day of school is a pretty sad thing. Its one of those days which you usually don't give shit about it because, well, it just feels like it'll never come.
But it does come and smacks you right in the face. I don't know about you, but i feel really down about it. Nostalgiaaaa. Its not about not coming back to school again. Its actually more about the things you do and the crap you go through with everyone else in the cohort; the random events (broken SAC door, throwing people in the fish pond, bouncing balls across the bridge, etc) and experiences as a class (WOW and all those buffets).
Aye. I hate losing friends the most though. No matter what they say, the fact is that sometimes some people just disappear from your radar. I hope not to many though.
Anyway midway through the last day celebrations and laughter, there's one thing i realised.
Yeap, I miss ACSI as much I miss SJI.
):
At least its not the end yet
:D
Should have taken more photos today but i guess these few will do!
6.08 and their randomness at the fountain!
Food as usual! Pizza and cake was great.
More of that
The classroom...
...and the class
Aye. Looks like the good in the year's gonna outshine the crap haha.
Like summer sunshine
Alright, alright, slow down.
There's alot more lined up for you.

Day Of Reckoning
Well so i'm here in this really noisy SAC and Yao has just left for his IB art exam. Mine is in about 2 hours. Damn its both scary and thrilling.
Like racing.
I really hope i'll do well! I think i'll be really sad if i don't get 7 for art honestly. So anyway i'm pretty bored so that's why i'm blogging now. Ohwell! no one around and stuck at the corner of the canteen. Haha i can't wait for the interview actually.
Anyway the day before yesterday, i took a nap at 6 p.m. and woke up at 6 a.m. Went looking for dinner but realised it was 6 a.m. in the morning when my sis walked in with her school uniform on.
Okay random.
I wanted to post panorama's about the art room but apparently Flickr can't be bypassed with proxys so its quite fail. Shall do it at home then!
Okay i've ran out of stuff to say and some random year 5's have crashed the table.
I shall just listen to my music to get in the mood X) If all goes well i might sing

Accelerate
Ah okay so i'm finally able to wake up with my alarm by setting it to ring every 5 mins over half an hour. Improvement. Hah.
And right now i don't feel like sleeping again. Meh. I shall crash school later in the afternoon. Maybe after i go to church with my parents.
This pic is probably gonna be used for art, something to do with speed again. And time. Photoshopped for that surreal look, blur done by putting hand sanitiser between two lens filters.
Yup.
"but like..... everything's passing by you and you can't do anything, you can't do anything to stop it. weird?"
Weird?
EDIT:
OH yeah, and finally done with the video! This will be used for art. Minus the music. The song is Open Your Eyes by Snow Patrol. Actually, I can't decide. Keep or lose the music?

From The Motherland, Where Canoe Paddles You!
(okay so this was typed on the bus back from the paddling place. Whatever it was called >< 
the girls k4 made it to final B! Secret no. 1. To be honest I was cynical. Sorry for being a secret asshole ._.
(Tsk Tsk brian. You forgot your number 1 rule for yourself. Never underestimate anyone.)
well but at least it was one damn good race. it was an awesome performance hands down girls. Not bad at all.
Ah. So happy for them X)
(Bread. Honey. Banana. Butter)
We unlucky fools.
(0.1 - 0.2 seconds. What the hell.)
But at least we did give it our all. We raced really hard. well but we did our best and yes we beat USA! At least we beat USA. But we lost to canda by 0.1 - 0.2 seconds. worthy of shit feeling of the year. The worst part was probably the fact that all the other heats were wayyyy easier and would have probably given us a higher chance of qualifying for semis at least.
Shucks. 0.2 is like clicking the stopwatch twice in quick succession.
A harder pull from any one of us.
A click from the camera.
(pictures when I get back guys. Other world juniors people msn me for pics. If you bug me enough I might post them on facebook!)
Well at least we beat USA. Everyone thought we were small boys.
Someone get me out of NS. I wanna paddle more.
Hell I'm gonna miss paddling :/
(This was added on tuesday ><)
They have awesome fruits there. Strawberries! Kebabs! Sadly, we didn't really have time to wander about. We only managed to catch a glimpse of the red square on the outside and other than that it was souvenier seeking and food feasting (more like ice cream indulging). Didn't get to see dead lenin.
(this continues on wednesday/thursday night/morning. Sorry. Brian the procrastinator. I shall post in school tomorrow)
anyway, without training suddenly life feels damn stagnant. So I have added something to make my daily events a lot more. Erm. Exciting. Running to macritchie at 11pm. Yeah I know. Wtf factor very high. But really very fun. And night is cooling too! currently shit list has a lot to clear. Especially for art. More photos are needed! D: wheee. Runners high now. Okay okay should sleep. I shall post this tomorrow. promise.
Sorry no secret here! X)
Sorry guys ><
EDIT: PICTURES ARE IN! MORE PICTURES NEXT TIME!
