symmetry: the circle and the square
no idea how i can use this idea to translate into something that can hold up a brick (using only string and satay sticks)
felt like an engineer for a moment.
or perhaps architects meant to have some 'engineer flair' as well.

a time of refreshment.
and a gentle reminder on how important it is to dwell in His presence
to not get caught up with the care and concerns of life.

back at the home front, life is getting much more hectic.
greater expectation of others, higher demand of self.
it is definitely something worth the challenge.

how crucial the word 'focus' can be.

hair's getting longer by the day, time for a good decent cut.
perhaps back to the more manageable short hair.
haha.

[realized that i've used arial all along, if u've noticed my older posts. shall revert back to that]

the places that i've visited, while doing the 30 sketches that kept me occupied the past weekend.










i was the weird person standing and sketching whenever there's something interesting.

in and out of sleep.

have you ever woke up in bed, after falling asleep when u intended to just take a nap..

that pretty much sums up my nights for the past week.
it's a miracle i still managed to churn out the work due the next day (quality being a separate issue)

friday is here again and it's time to catch up on so many things.
with a new tutor, everything is taking a positive change and many previously concealed directions now illuminated.
i seemed to be able to comprehend work much better now (perhaps it's just that i finally grasped the concept)

sidetrack: group work always brings out human character in it's most pure form.
it's frustrating when someone is just so stubborn to snap out of their own old mindset and to adopt the relevant concept and to just move on with it.
it is really that difficult?


friday, saturday, sunday
swim, model, draw, buffet, and sleep.

welcome the brand new weekend :)

the simple time out.
the sincere conversations.

the simple things that touch your heart.
there's no need to live a complicated live.
or to appear sophisticated.

the work seems never ending, always coming.
and appearing.
but it's so impt to take time off (or to just skive)
to let the exhausted mind rest a little, and to start off on a new page.

more sleepless nites, i can foresee.
but am reminded how i can and should pray and to really seek after Him.
He's the giver of strength, and we're made more than conquerors!

good nite :)

gotten a little weary of sketching.
so started blog surfing and reading all the entries..

when it came to the old cell group's entries (esp merrien's post on all the old photos from ancient times)
they still make me laugh and reminded me of how much we've all grown and changed (for better hopefully)
haha

and that all the problems that seemed daunting to us in the past are somehow so minute now to us.
growing up equates to overcoming bigger problems?
that's pretty true.

every day will present it challenges, and at the same time it's offering a chance for you to overcome and grow.

imagine yourself ten years down the road?
definitely more beautiful than you're now.

the weekend has arrived!
and it's totally filled with work (x30 sketches, etc)

the morning sketch at republic poly today was somewhat interesting.
it helped to break away from the daily routine of home-school-home.

and yes the school building is really intriguing, especially with the use of water and glass.
and the simple but yet unique cultural centre, which sheltered us from the sudden mad thunderstorm.what's going on.
i know that there's something changing.

not everything that happened was done on purpose.
to let go of the control and keep you eyes looking straight.
the struggle within and the turmoil unseen.

it's funny how tough it can be, and how much someone can greatly stir up your emotions.
irrational coupled with the uncertainty.
the distance and the separation.

to reunite back to the square one.
the strangers and friends.
how i wish i never knew you.

foolishness indeed. what have i done.
actions guided by the heart.

i've been trying too hard, to reach an unknown destination.
taken for granted many, neglected the rest.
and how i pray.
to return to the unchanging love.
to seek that peace within.

"i close my eyes, lift my hands to worship you.
you're the love of my life.
nothing else matters"

the recess and studio free weeks just came and left.
so quickly, that it barely felt that it was sufficient.

nonetheless, i am still grateful for the freedom in time.
to choose what i should do first, and to take time off and to enjoy the simple pleasures of life.

nothing will change just by me sitting down here talking about it and wanting so much to make a change. if i dun for once, take a step out.
(i must step out n forward to all that awaits)

certain things in life can't be forced upon.
and it is sad but yet necessary for one to learn by experience.
if you dont know how it hurts, it might not be obvious to you that you're actually doing all to yourself. (not that it applies to every single situation)

this phase seems like a renewal : a new content page and introduction to a brand new story.
to cherish and to embrace.

happy children's day, though i am already two hours late!
esp to my tuition kids, even though u would never read this (and i pray that you don't)
thanks for bringing me that joy and satisfaction (most of the time)
haha
look forward to seeing you all again on saturday!

haha
