class 2B gathering. since sec 1, it's been bout 10 yrs.^^
ha had a realli great time, despite having my eyes twitchin the whole time on my way to holland v. i gues the fun part in such gatherings is when u feel lik you are getting to know them as a different person. a couple of them gg the arts way. we have a director, a full-time nafa student, a graphic designer, two others in design and media...

Interest was only part of the reason why i decided to take up this course. ive came up with class T-shirt designs, logos, posters all by free hand drawing. one black felt pen and one fine black marker was all i needed. then i realise the limitations in free hand drawing, that's when i finally decided to take one step further after missing my chance the previous 3mth break. that's when i finally got myself into this shit.
k maybi it wasn't so bad. but the first lesson was quite stressful cos my lecturer was graphic designer and he threw at us all the technical terms and loads and loads of information which i had a hard time digesting. like vector-based verses rastor-based software? what colour format to use online and for printing whether it's RGB or CMYK? what resolution to use? 72 dpi (dop per inch) ? 200 or 300? what are implications? what much memory is used? whether the picture is embeded in multiple copies or they draw from the same source? how is gg to affect the memory used for storage? what format to use for different situations. psd of tiff.? etc etc... And we were using Macs instead of PC. I didn't know Macs. Macs didn't know me. for the past 3.5 hr we were trying to understand each other without success. half of the time im trying to figure out the controls while the lecturer went on and on.
And ive to submit a project at the end of the term 1- a 16-page coffee table book complete with illustrations and text. it has to be very professional. they even specify the type of binding they want. blehz.
you can do it. don't give up. seriously how many times have i told myself that and i still messed up. Maybi, i was wonderin maybi, i should jus sit down and consider my priorities again. i can foresee 4 consecutive nights taken up by other commitments is really going to affect studies. i don't want to just blindly encourage myself, take the plunge and then pray for a miracle that everything is going to work out. One part of me warns me that it's time i start to think sensibly and not to commit more than im capable of. I desperatedly want to pull my grades back up. And the last thing i want is to screw up again and give my folks the impression that i cant handle my life well, giving them a chance to intervene.
to be franked im still very much affected by my previous results. Friends telling me we'll work hard together. But... it's so unpredictable. havent i been working hard enough? will it realli be a better sem? maybi i didn't study the right way? maybi it realli wasn't enuf.. so many maybis..
haiz. don't tell me to decide. tell me what to do.

serious i hate holidays cos i never seem to be able to enjoy it as much as i wanted to. during sch days, we tend to believe that our studies and various commitments are tying us down and we make promises to find time for one another when the holidays comes. but ironically, it' s DURING the school holidays that you find everyone's still bz with whatever activities they have to keep themselves occupied. they never seem to have time for u. holidays make me lazy. i tend to wake up late even though i set my alarm to ring at 730.. i hate waking up late, greeted by an empty house cos my bro's schooling, my parents working and whatever. i find it realli depressing. oh well sch's starting anw. *shrugs*
interpersonal relationships can be really complicated. if given a choice would you rather be an audience or be one of cast? to be involved in it, or be completely detached from everything.. sometimes i wish i could be totally detached. i dunno, i suppose there's a reason why humans are born with emotions. they cannot be completely nonchalant, they cannot be cold-blooded, they cannot just ignore their feelings.. hm.. dont you tink that's our weakness. so much for wanting to move on, but u cant, it jus holds you back. weak. i want to be devoid of emotions.
there was this period of time when i felt that life is a game. the people, players. it's not so much of striking a balance in every aspect of ur life. it's more of planning ur moves, select and manipulate ur pawns to get what you want. And in a game, you cannot completely trust other players for the fear of betrayals which may cost you more than you've gained. in a game, you scrutize your opponents' moves and you become skeptical and eventually, you become tired. interpersonal relations become a tool. i kind of adopted that kind of mentality cause there are times when you realise there's just no one you can trust - no one you can trust enough to entrust and share that most personal & private side of yours.
We are humans. we are merely humans. i never really believe that people can give, unconditionally, no strings attached. some of us may claim to be able to do that, eventually we'll realise that we need some form of reciprocation. i dunno, i used to give with no expectation of getting anythin in return, until i realise it's silly. jus silly. why bother unless you stand to gain sth? how many people out there is going to appreciate what you've done? how many people at the recieving end mean it when they say thanks? how many outsider is able to notice and feel for you?
hm.. random thoughts.
