Art Attacked!

Three weeks and a rejection later, I have come to another decision:

I AM GOING TO ART SCHOOL!

I've always liked art and have always wanted to take art in high school. Dad didn't approve of it at that time, and by the time he allowed me to change my subjects, it was already too late. Later on, I thought I could take art as an elective in university, but Monash don't offer such unit at the Sunway Campus, so the closest thing I got was Contemporary Film Studies.

Now that I've finished my degree and have unfortunately been unable to find a job for the past three months, it got me thinking. Why not take up an art course?

I was so bored during my whole unemployment period that I made a friend a hoodie card.

I don't mean to brag, but I must say I was rather proud of myself =D

Don't ya think? =P

Since it wouldn't hurt my CV to pick up some mad Photoshop and Illustrator skills, I figured I might as well learn something useful if I still can't get a job by the end of this month. I did a bit of googling for adult art courses and found Claz'room. They offer 1.5 year full-time courses and monthly part-time courses as well. The full-time Illustration course next intake is this coming September and cost less than RM20,000 for the whole thing, inclusive of a free laptop and tablet! Freaking worth it or what?! But of course I don't have that much money =( So unless mum approves, I'll just have to keep looking for a job until I find one =/

However, now that I've found this little gem of a place, I have decided that even if I've gotten a job I'm still going to take up the art course =) They offer part-time courses during weekends, and is way cheaper compared to the full-time one so I'll be able to pay for it myself ^_^

It is a far cry from your usual art school, and I'd actually prefer a more rounded course that includes traditional media, some theories and stuff like photography, multimedia, printing, sculpting etc. But it's hard to come by those in Malaysia. The One Academy came pretty close, but it's too institutional for my need. So let's hope mum approves if I don't get any offers by this month *fingers cross* >_<

The Invisible Boundary

It exists, there's no denying it.

We danced dangerously close,

but always cautious never to cross over.

At the breaching point,

awaits unknown consequences.

The invisible boundary,

keeps us safe.

This is a related post to 500 Days of Summer.

"At least it hides the face partly. Well, so you have the apparent face, the apple, hiding the visible but hidden, the face of the person. It's something that happens constantly. Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. There is an interest in that which is hidden and which the visible does not show us. This interest can take the form of a quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say, between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is present."

- René Magritte

Narrator: As he listened, Tom began to realize that these stories weren't routinely told. These were stories one had to earn. He could feel the wall coming down. He wondered if anyone else had made it this far. Which is why the next six words changed everything.

Summer: I've never told anybody that before.

Tom: I guess I'm not just anybody.

My icanread

I've mentioned countless of times before (here, here and here) that I would make a post for icanread because I could never find the one that I'm looking for. Half a year ago, I made this but never posted it up. I've submitted it to icanread but it never came up so I'm just going to share it here.

It still doesn't depict what I really want, but it's personal enough to count I guess.

Things We Have

p.s. tumblr failed me once again...

Secrets

Everybody has them.
Some keep them.
Some tell them.
Some ask.
Some find out.
Some gossip.
Some concerned.
To tell or not to tell?
That is the question.

icanread again

I need a break...I need to post something...
Something very weird and coincidental happened...so here it is...

This appeared on icanread yesterday!!!

I didn't even know about it until Jeanette (the avid icanread-er =P) told me.
It was so funny how she thought it was posted by me *LOL*
It's such a coincidence, yet strangely weird at the same time =S

So I guess I sort of found something on icanread, though it's still not what I was originally looking for

-_-''

I WILL make one for myself!

icanread

I have to blog this before I can really concentrate on my assignments...I think...

I've finally gone through all 475 pages of icanread, and as expected, I did not find the thing that I want. There are some cute/nice/meaningful ones below, but they are not really what I was looking for. I promise I will make myself one when I'm done with all the assignments!

All images are re-blogged from icanread.
They may have been re-blogged by others before this so the original creator is unknown.

feet in the water...

I got my feet in the water...

...and I was drifting away like a drop in the ocean.


I don't know why I kept thinking that Michelle Branch's "Drop in the Ocean" has the word 'feet' in it =S I even thought the lyrics was something like "I dropped my feet into the water/ocean" -_-''
