i dreamed a dream

everyone aspires to b someone or something great.
even when i say i jz want to a normal person,
i dont really mean it.
not subconsciously, anyway.

a few days ago when i was workin on my project w a friend,
he showed me his idea/vision o this condo

skin 003

imagine d pointy parts as individual units (rooms)
imagine green plants growing on d wall
imagine looking out to d swimming pool on one side
and d sunrise over d sea on d other
imagine d purple floss as amazon-like growth

now look at this pic

skin 005
see d lighting fr d sun/swimming pool lights?
is it tht hard to see a dream?

*dont b afraid to reach for d moon
if you can dream it up, it's possible*

credit goes to daecan for HIS dream *name yet unknown*~

sunset

was walking along d fed highway to d pick-up pt after sch today
saw this really nice sunset, *lion king* style.

skin 040

2 mins later it rained on me though.
still
hw could i nt love these after sch 15 min walks?

posed for attack

I woke up this morning and ntg went right
This is juz one o d “ntg could make me smile” days
Feeling extremely stressed
Sleeping makes me feel guilty
This course is nt meant for me
Life isn’t gd at d mo
Trying too hard

Gosh. Apparently any attempt at blogging results in WHINING.
As opposed to dear wern yi who sent me this msg juz nw:
“Apparently 2day is my be-grateful-d-sun-is-still-shining day:) So I just wanted 2 thank u all 4 bein my stars. I miss u. I love u. Continue burning brightly. We’ll light up d skies;-)”

Thanks, wern.
I mean, even in d middle o my miserable sketching I had to *smile*.

“Nothing is easy” sounds so cliché. And I already KNOW tht!
“Nothing is as hard as you thought it would b, it’s only HARDER!” sounds better for my present predicament.

Having a miserable time managing my time --> spend HOURS on a single sketch tht is worse than anything tht my bro can draw.
And all this while other assignments are piling up.

But I will grit my teeth and do them.
Sarah does not giv up.
Nor does she want anyone's sympathy (though some cheers would b nice..).
Even when she sighs/feels like throwing her pencil every 5 minutes.
*I’ll work hard, I promise*

middle o sketching assignment

apparently sketching is like playing sudoku.
one wrongly angled line will throw everything else out o balance.
and it feels doubly bad when you finish drawing all d dots and are halfway thru drawing d connecting line...
when you find tht it doesnt connect.

difficult as it b
ugly as my sketches are
i kinda like them.

probably cuz it's difficult
and my sketches are ugly

*working hard for d day when i can sketch at ease (at least w/o screaming in frustration)
and my drawings actually RESEMBLES something*
