as the title states, this post will be about what i have done (and didn't post :P) haha. the posts will most likely be from the most recent to the least recent. at least, as far back as i can remember.
went to paint the flat at blk 13 again, for my a-ma and a-gong. couldn't paint the extra room still, cause hdb is scheduled to fix it next week. went to school and meet alot of people to pass the souveniers and kimchee :D
this week, btw, as everyone knows, is the last week of hols. it seems so long, yet so short :( as always, i have work i haven't finished, which should have been finished. which means i will have to finish it during the 1st week. and also, what's with the system?? blocking us from taking our gems this sem...i rather we have gems this sem than next sem. at least that way we have more time for our final year project. D:
went to seoul last week, but still haven't uploaded the photos, if that's what's so puzzling. because, so many people put up theirs already, i feel mine is...inadequate? my skill is like, super poor, and even my teacher said so. she said i was better off taking non-people than people, which i do agree cause i don't really like to step out and be outgoing and say 'hey! can i take your picture??'. half the time when i take photos of people, i give off the feel that i'm doing something wrong or guilty and being sneaky. ha. somemore, seoul is FULL of people to take. oh well...
seoul was fun, mostly. because we were on a schedule, we didn't have as much time as we liked to walk where we wanted to explore and shop and all that. one of the things i regret was the t-express at Everland (everyday at everland is a holiday! -tagline :D) and the seoul design olympiad. the t-express, cause i didn't get to sit it another time D: haha! it was close to 90 degrees going up and then down. it was totally stomach dropping!! like when you have a plane turbulance and the plane goes up and down and your stomach follows. yep, that kind of feeling. it was GREAT! hahaha! xD sooo thrilling! i haven't sat on a roller roller-coaster since back in KL where i went with my family to that one in the building (offhand, i can't remember the name). about the Seoul Design Olympiad, what i regretted was not going to the outside to see the stuff. because we didn't have enough time to go buy the shirts during the 1st day, we had to use the small time on the 2nd day to queue for it, and it took up all the time. so well, we didn't get to see. but it was really still fun! and the scenery was really good, also the feng shui. they had hills and mountains in the city itself!!! and of course the seas and lakes in front. real cool, cause you don't get to see this alot in most populated areas. went to cheil, an ad agency. the people were pretty nice, but they gave me really disturbing thoughts and made me kinda depressed.. : cause they said that talent is something that matters, and if you dont' have it, its not likely that you'll be able to survive in the industy. i think i can take the critisism okay, but its that talent but that's getting to me...and also the stuff they said about having passion and knowing that what you want and whether you want to stay in the design and/or ad buisness.
shopping wise, they had what i called their 'orchard road' and 'bugis street' - all within buildings! they were next to each other too, in dong dae mun. i went to the one that resembled bugis street, and got really nice and cheap shirts (which most i can't wear till new year D:) and a pair of shoes. one place to visit again if i go back to seoul :) oh yeah, also the honggil arts village and the university flea market and myongdong and provenece. their wares are super cute! one thing that struck me was that seoul, wherever i went, was kinda..grey? it was more of the buildings and the sidewalks and the sky that reminded me so. cause back then when i was in beijing, the sky was beautiful in autmn, and the grey sidewalks and roads and buildings, and the smoggy air, all this reminded very strongly of of the beijing i stayed in. maybe its just the populated areas that are supposed to feel like this, and s'pore is just the exception. haha! the hotels we stayed in were really nice, and on the last day we stayed at a 5 star hotel! xD they even had bathrobes for us! ahaha! that night, we went out to take photos, cause we thot we hadn't took enough during the day. and it was quite fun :) hope i can go back seoul one day...and to everland, artbox, the nice cupcake shop-and-lady, and the faceshop! haha
ya know, half the time during the whole trip, i was worrying about what to get people. worried day and night, to tell you the truth. even though they told me it's the thought that counts, i still was unsure whether i bought the right stuff back and would they like it... i mean, its no point getting people gifts they don't like. on hindsight, i should have gotten more notebooks from artbox and decorative bags for them... the dolls were nice, but not everyone likes dolls. D: really hope they liked the gifts...
argh..and i still have hmk to do...and was slacking the whole day away. which means i have to more productive and go around less on the websites...hwa-iting! aja!
list of work:
- maya photoshopping in textures and making it back in maya
- e-journal and reflections (5 days worth and 2 nights)
- photo editing and choosing from seoul trip (urgh..there's close to 1000 photos i think..)
- 3 pieces of work for portfolio
- dt blog (am really sorry to my poor teacher..>_<)
random thoughts....:
seem to have a hungry mouth...more like i want to have something to chew on, and not being hungry at all..nyamnyamnyam...
can't stand PDA couples. at least in korea, they at most wear couple tees and hold hands.(or maybe its just me who hasn't seen enough :P) i really hate them. if i ever have a bf (which is unlikely, so i can safely say), i will never ever, do PDA to the extent to vomiting. blehhhh~
want to watch dramas, but know that i shouldn't...eottoke~~?? D:
