Break

Finally, had some time to update this space before I drive full force into work and RCYC.

So,

IT'S FINALLY HOLIDAYYYYYYY.

School was tough, Art was definitely not as easy as it seems to be.

I remember someone told me,

"Art is not like studying, you can copy for studies, but to copy Art, you need skills."

Yeap. That sums up my semester 1.

Part 1: My Art journey

 

This was what I started out with.

Can you see the resembles? I hope you can.

I drew that probably a day or two before my entrance test.

I freaked out upon knowing that my entrance test was just 2 days after I registered for it.

I had no time to prepare anything at all.

So my medium used for my test was, haha, colour pencils.

I saw other candidates were using acrylic paints and what not.

I felt so intimidated.

However thank God, I got in, and that's how my journey in NAFA starts.

Not very impressed artworks up there, but I hope you see my improvement.

Till date, I still feel intimidated drawing.

After all, drawing is not my forte, and I'm not going to major in Fine Arts (I'm studying Screen Media, just if you're wondering what I'm gonna major in).

Not one of those breath-taking Artworks you see in galleries but hey, what's that? Improvement.

Part 2: My Photography Journey

CNY, Chinatown

July, CBD area. Outside Marina Bay Sands Shopping Centre to be exact.

This was what I started out with.

My interest in Photography was not big to started with, but it was there.

Whenever I see something that I think it's hmm, Insta-worthy (LOL), out comes my iPhone 4.

Yes, this loser still uses iP4 when plus 2 is already out.

My friend, Jing, said that I'm "photogenic".

*Note: not that I look more decent in photographs, but rather I have an eye for beauty or just rather passable skills.

Being in an Art School has certainly "trained" me to have an eye for beauty.

I mean, having friends who would ask for your help to help them take OOTDs, it's no choice that you must be able to think quickly how you would want to shoot it, where's the best lighting and the most flattering angle and such.

And also, ignore passerby's unwelcoming stares and judgement.

The girls who stayed with me for my first 4 month in NAFA.

Artichoke café located just beside NAFA.

Singapore Art Museum for the field trip.  

Marina Barrage. Bet you didn't know Singapore's sea can be in such a beautiful shades of blue.

Just moment before it rained outside my house.

Plaza Singapura. The complex infrastructure is definitely Insta-worthy.

Art Science Museum.

Gardens By The Bay. 

Just in case if you are wondering if I edited the picture, I did.
Editing pictures is like the makeup in Photography.
The reason is just as same to why women put makeup.
To beautify it, make it presentable.
But mind you, I'm still a beginner in Photography haha.

Part 3: Journey of my hair

I dare not say that I'm an Adventure lover,

I certainly do not think that I could grow a pair of balls and do bungee jumping and screaming YOLO as my head reaches towards the ground, without the fear that it might kiss the floor hard and leave evidence of "love".

No, I am not an Adventure lover.

But one thing I dare to do is to dye my hair to some outrageous colours.

Of course, not the whole head, I'm not an Adventure lover remember?

Plus I wouldn't want my mother to tick me off for throwing the family's face.

My hair on 1st and 3rd pics are actually a colouring gone wrong thing.

I wanted purple for 1st, and blue for 3rd.

But meh oh well, pink and green it shall be then.

I will be dying my hair black for RCYC (urgh), however I might be dying it to some other colour next year.

Yeah to changes.

Well, I guess that's all for my update.

Pretty sure you guys don't need any update of MY life because you're busy living yours ahahah.

As for right now, I'm just waiting to start my work back in McCafé.

I swear I need to leave that bloody place soon.

Meanwhile, I need my well-deserving few days break.
