One of those tutors

 
...any of this look familiar?...

It took me a lot of guts to press the "new blog" button, because frankly speaking, ever since my previous entry, I had no clue what to write about. These days, there are so many insightful blog where people just crowd over and within a couple of seconds, they've got 10 billion footprints. I'm not reaching for a status like that, but I just hope my blog doesn't end up completely pointless.

So, I finally had my interim crit last Thursday which went quite well. But I had one of those tutors who, during the feedback session, sits quietly holding your fragile model (me, praying he won't snap another door the next second) or staring the coffee mug on the table while the other tutors crit your work... He waits until the others look at him and say "Have you got anything to say?". After some bad acting: "Oh, sorry I didn realise it was my turn to speak", he would sit up and take a deep breath... and words just come flooding out of his mouth like he's been holding it in for 10 years. Oh no, they are not JUST words, they are sentences coated with lots of big words with philosophical meanings and you're just standing there like an idiot (which is EXACTLY what he wants us to feel, inadaquate) patiently nodding, with a face so obviouse you haven't the slightest clue what he's on about... The good thing is, my friend recorded the entire session so we could listen to it together. After some discussion between my group mates, I had to admit that he DID make sense afterall. I don't know if it was just me, but I just kept thinking, there's GOT to be a better way to crit or to communicate with someone... Because in the end, shouldn't crits to be helpful, not to make people feel helpless.

Anyway, just on the last note. I've recently discovered the existence of a singer Marie Digby. She does some really nice happy jolly songs, great for those sunny days if you want to make the day even sunnier and happier, or gloomy days when you feel like you need a little it of a smile on your face.

Xanga, I'm back.


Oh my goodness... It's unbelievable that I'm writing on xanga again.

It's quite embarrassing to admit that I've just spent the last 10 minutes trying to figure out how to write a new blog. Things have changed so much around here...or maybe things are becoming too complicated.

I'm thinking of writing again. Just because of whatever I want to call it... "stress relief", "procrastination", "emotional diarrhea".

...After some thought, I think I'm here because I was looking for something to use my new mac for (besides work)... desperately in search for something else to do on this new toy of mine.

- Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World

just a dream afterall.

.
It's the most embarassing and ridiculous feeling
when you see someone you love, finally accepting you
...and realising that it was literally,
just a dream.
I cannot deny the fact that I hated the reality just a little bit
the moment when my eyes opened

...but...

...thank You for the dream... 
for letting me experience that sweet moment I really believed was true 
Thank You.
.
...Now I can go strangle myself.
