Hey you...yup, time for our coffee talk.

Life's been pretty much a roller-coaster ride for the past month or so...having to mentally run around non-stop. Since school starts and with work 'n all...how i wish there's more numbers on the clock. Nevertheless, things are cool. Work has slowed down slightly...or maybe it hasn't but i sure am. Work is work right?...but i pull the brakes these days to slow myself down...just in case i need that extra breath to breathe. *super deep breath*


School on the other hand, kawabanga great. No more of that stiffness of air in the room. Everyone has got pass the warm-ups 'n stretchings...now it's pure fun 'n nonsense. The other day some of us hangout after our saturday class...i tell you, coffee takes you places! Just because we needed some coffee break, we travelled from PS Starbucks to the next door TCC...to cathay's coffee bean...and we finally ended up at paradiz's mac. Sat down already...then decided to go to the nearby Kopitiam foodcourt. Let me repete...coffee really takes you places!

Chun How laughed his intestines out that day till he cried...now that's a sign of healthy living. Bought myself another figurine that day...fandi bought two star wars figures. Oh before i forget, we took the bus all the way from NP to PS. Being the non-frequent public transporter...ehem ehem...act smart larh you know...tap the ez-link card in the first bus we took...value was -64 cents. Lol. Crap. So took out my coin pouch, told the uncle... "Uncle, to Orchard how much?!" ...not knowing that we're taking the bus to Dover mrt then changing buses that leads to town, the spontaneous bus driver, opened the door and awaits my alighting'ness.

So how? Panic la...Lol. Asked Si Cheng who was standing beside me, where we're heading cos everyone else has seated at the back of the bus...he too had no bloody idea where we're heading...haha. Then he shouted to the gang at the end...and wallah! finally destination revealed.... .. door closed` *super deep breath*

Modelling classes has been tough for me as i haven't had any real experience in organic modelling in the past before. So far i find that my ear modelling is good. The 3d model of my face...err, doesn't really look much like me. The proportions in the hands not really that accurate... and the body i modelled pretty stiff. Really need to buckup.

Life drawing classes however, turning much better. Found myself to be more artistic these days. Lol. yah yah ok ok. Just yesterday, couldn't draw man. There stands the model in the middle of the class, everyone's chalking away...here i am drawing the oversized underwear lines the model was wearing. Dom was walking around giving pointers to people in class, then stops behind me and said, "you start from the center? so big...there won't be enough paper to draw the whole figure dun you think?". Crap. My thots exactly. *super deep breath*

So there i sat, while Dom starts to show how he picks up the points and curves as he chalks away on my paper. Watching the master's fingers at work, the moment of pressure turns into an open eye view. Then he said, "there...much better right?" So i flipped to a clean sheet of paper and starts applying these artistic values that has just been drilled into my brain... 'n wallah! all the grooves start to flow. Here's a comparison of my first 10 mins pose drawing a month back... to the one i had yesterday. Peace out`



"A month back"
