Good evening, Thursday!

Which is about to strike midnight soon. This week's been completely hectic. Literally. Had so much difficulty getting used to the new environment and getting everything organized, not to mention getting used to the punctuality system in the new school.

It's been years since I practised that I think it's bad. Nobody cares who comes at what time in the ITE days, those were the days. As long as you know how to sneak in smart, and joke with the lecturer they'll mark you present.

And the love letters in ITE mean nothing. Or maybe it's just me because I've never really gotten one before.

I'll start the post of a picture taken at my work place. Finally got the chance to hang my handmade 3D hot air balloons from the ceiling, don't think it made any difference though because nobody looked at it.

I don't really care anyway.





And then discovered a really antique designed store, not too long ago and managed to snap a few good pictures of the stuff/area. Love how quiet it is and their rocking unicorn. It's a baby unicorn, guys.




What I have been doing in school:

My first time doing a 3D module and I'm already afraid, though paper sculptures inspire me I can't do shit with it properly. And being late for 45 minutes on the very first week isn't really good impression to give.



Illustrator Module! Probably my favorite among the rest. Been dying to learn how to use photoshop and sit in a class to learn about it, 3 hours seemed really short.



Did my own vectoring and.... pretty okay for the first time, no? Of course I didn't start from scratch, This is a reference picture. All i vectored was the man, on the bicycle. I'm required to vector my own picture for this week's assignment.



And here's a random picture of my korean friend and myself in a store during 3 hours break on Monday. We had too much time and decided to walk around and shop.



Trying really hard to balance everything out, but I think, I might get used to this system in time to come. Human Nature, we get used to things.

Exciting modules, crazy workload, never ending assignments...

I think it's going to be fun. I hope.

Have a really blessed week! xo

Last week I participated in my craft store's scrapbook competition, and got so much support from my friends.. and their friends, and their friends friends. I'd like to thank each and everyone who liked the photo, really appreciate it. Though I don't think me and my girls are going to win it, I guess it's okay.

Been busy with school orientation for the past week and have never felt lethargic than ever, partly because most of the activities takes place under the incredibly scorching hot sun.

and Finally had thosai for break fast last night! Been wanting to try it since forever.

And after Mahgrib tonight, It'd be the last 10 nights of Ramadhan. Not to mention Hari Raya is only next Sunday. It's scaring me.

Think that moment was magical.

But it's just fireworks. Wonder how it feels like when I get to see the Aura Borealis up in the North. I might just faint out of excitement.

Sigh, until that happens, I should learn to be grateful for what I have been given, and what I have.

Already midweek, 2 more days to the weekends!

Have a really blessed week, xo

Good Thursday!

Made a trip to the art school and went to ThirtySix to have my film installed into my Canon AE-1. Asked the sales assistant for help and she immediately took my camera and did magic. And I mean literally, she installed it in less than a minute,

"Okay all you have to do is... Pull it here, click it, make sure you hear the click onto the gear right here, press and move, and you're done! Now you can begin taking shots with it!"

I wanted her to repeat every step but that's silly of me to request that. So I just thanked her and stayed in the lomography store for a little while. The La Sardina, Sprocket Rocket, Holga Pinhole, The Holga, Blackbird I cannot even...

But I'm still not bored of my Canon AE-1 yet so... I think I'll just stick to this one. My Mini Diana is doing fine, if you must know, it's at the top of my shelf. Well maybe collecting dust.

Managed to capture a good picture of what I brought out!

A canvas sling, red loafers, Canon AE-1 hanging down my neck, my casio watch and a vintage dress on. I feel like a tourist in this country I've been in for 16 years.

Day 2 //

Discovered a pretty store, not so sure what it's named but a total inspiration. They even have an old damaged brick wall as a decoration in the middle of the store, the first I've seen!

Also spent about 6 bucks in Paper Market because they have 30% off for every 5 papers there. I think the things there just got cheaper, thought the papers usually cost 3 bucks and above.

Spent a reasonably good time and money on paper goods today, am really satisfied!

Tomorrow's the 7th day of Ramadhan, basically a week of Ramadhan gone.

Something I ask myself every night before I sleep.

On the 4th of the year, I went out to get some necessities for my sewing projects. Walked from Lavender to Bugis by foot and I could have sworn my legs were sore as hell. In an addition to that, the scorching hot weather here in Singapore.

These pictures were taken this week, when i was out running errands. My last week of 2011 have been really busy, and I have so much in mind to do for my portfolio. I've already started brainstorming and putting the pieces together, as well as planning on how I'd present it and the appropriate portfolio file I'm going to make. Really cannot wait to share it here!

Other than that, I've also decided to print out the pictures taken by the iPhone, Since I don't take pictures with my DSLR all the time, infact I barely even use it at all. I like my bags lightweight, and the thought of carrying the DSLR the whole day is horrifying. I used to bring my Nikon all the time, and for these 3 solid years I've been using my Nikon D60, I haven't got enough money for an upgrade.

Not for a new camera, (I nearly bought a new one because I really couldn't be bothered to bring it out anymore), But then again I decided to just get a new lens. That of course when I earn a little cash on my own.

A few days ago, I received an email from PhotoJojo, telling me what projects I can do for 2012 daily. And one of them is taking pictures fromwhereyoustand. I thought this is pretty interesting. I go to many places all the time, with different shoes and surroundings. I decided to pick up this 365 project for the upcoming year, 2012.

I've also got a new handmade vintage journal to document my 2012.

Since I ran out of cash this holiday, I had an idea of doing a handmade planner instead. It's a really easy DIY project.

All you need is:

-Old papers, Vintage ones works the best.

-Hole puncher

-Some twine

You put them altogether, punch them, then tie them up with the twine. You may arrange it because that's what I did. I have small papers all over in between.

Until then. xo
