Designsg, class schedule

  • Aug. 20th, 2009 at 10:14 PM

The people from designsingapore finally called me and informed me that i got the overseas scholarship on monday.

Finally MONEY!! hahaha

For ten days i thought  that maybe my stubborn decision of turning down of all the other scholarships and wait for designsg may lead me to getting no scholarships in the end. So i am super relieved that everything went according to plan.

Yesterday there was a creative industries scholarships pre-depature meeting and i got to meet with the other designsg scholars. There are 6 of us! With 3 going UK, 2 going US and 1 local.  Which is ALOT considering there was only 1 scholar last year ( which is my aep senior shumin). Charlotte said it is because there are more outstanding applicants this year, therefore the increase in scholars. Better more than less!

I was surprised to find that i am the youngest of the bunch. Everyone else is like either half way through uni,  going for masters or going for DOCTORATE!!!! It's like meeting different generations of design talents. And i am the NOOBEST! lol the only recent JC graduate. Best expressed by juliana's reponse at my age:" you're at most 20 right? Oh Shit."

It was really nice to meet people who has worked in the creative industry for some time and under different famous names. Jawn lim who's going for his doctorate in design drops names that everyone goes: woooooah and me:??????????? It is really humbling but motivating.( I shall aim to be one of those big names!!! LOL! Aim only dunno whether can make it. )And he is going Harvard for his doctorate. With harvard paying 60% and designsg paying 40% of his tution, Jawn is basically getting his degree for free!!!omg!

During lunch, i got to chat with the other creative industry scholars from MDA, NHB etc. Gotta say everyone i met is so interesting, even the nerdy looking one. Hey, the nerd knows 12 languages ok!!! !12!!!!! Including ancient egyptian!!!woah.

Other news, I got my RISD foundation schedule. My mondays and wednesdays are ok cause there's no studio, but on tuesdays, thursdays and fridays it's studio from 8 to 6pm! HARDCORE!

once a upon a time...

But this just reminded me why i like orchestra music in the first place:


 

Education and creativity

One of the best talks i have ever watched. The guy will be speaking during RISD commencement day this year. Funny smart guy.

Friday the dread-day

  • Mar. 4th, 2009 at 2:07 AM

Well, guess it will happen sooner or later. Poor alison will be the first of our class to get the results, guess it sucks to be no. 1 sometimes hahahaha.Trying not to think too much about it ( like how i couldnt solve the bio genetic diagram question, how math paper 1 was unexpectedly difficult)

Looking on the bright side, at least i got unconditional offers from Goldsmiths and Central St Martins. So London is looking very friendly right now. (2012 olympics!)
But i am praying my hardest on Brown-RISD. Speaking of which, i got a letter from RISD today and it got me totally nervous and stuff but it turned out just to be a confirmation slip that states my application is complete wth LOL.

Looks like my slacking jobless life is gonna be over and i'm gonna be relief teaching+freelancing+scholarship seeking soon.
Guess payday is looking really good now ,YAY shopping!!

But I cant wait to help out the kids with their Olevel courseworks(which brings so much memories) and moving back to art rooms yay!!! I didnt realize it till i went to opss's art rooms today how much i miss the art room haha. Now i get to ask the "so what is it that you really want to say in your coursework?" question and watch the students looking clueless xD.

Hope all goes well on friday. I'm sure a majority of us will get those As, and it will totally suck to be in the minority. Well it's not the end of the world and thank god i am depending more on my portfolio than my grades for admissions, or else i dont think i will be able to sleep for the next 2 days.

well....

serena and dan are so freaking boring!
and i hate Vanessa, she think she is so self righteous
didn't she just screw up the dan and katherine affair!?

Project Tao AEP exhibition tml......cant be bothered
guess it's show your parents why you have been failing other subjects time.
I must say i think my Final's slides didnt do the colors justice.
AND SOME OF THE WORDS CANT BE SEEN! aiyo!
But i like the old slide projector charm.
(couldnt be bothered to do the LJ cut )

when you're drunk with nostalgia

  • May. 1st, 2008 at 9:44 PM

just read zz's multiple entries HAHA
zz if you take blogging as a subject, then you are damn hardworking la
anyway, somewhere in some entry she said : " actually we are ALL screwed. head to toes. inside out. left to right."
HAHAHAHA! you know what i totally agree.
cause like people always say life is not a bed of roses,
so we all get screwed by life at certain point of time

sigh i feel JC life is very taxing...stressful and screwed up...
i've been getting those ny nostalgia again
i missed those carefree days
missed those 402 morning crapping sessions
i missed bear, wanfang, yunyu, jieyee....
I somehow dun really see them in sch anymore
sigh...especially jieyee....like where is she? omg i think i've nv seen her at all this year O_o
i missed those more carefree aep days too
i dunno things just seemed to be so carefree then

missed band too...haha...fluboes...<3 concerts...remember those days when we are sec 2s and so scared of the sec 4s...yanping...serene and joy...wonder what they are doing now...

missed stupid self-proclaimed-breaks that we always take during mr lim's aep lesson
haha
remember we always disappear halfway and return after half an hour?
cause we went to buy food and eat sitting at the swing right outside the art room window...
and mr lim sometimes will look out of the window and catch us cause we were laughing too loud xD
he always go:" WEI! Ni men zhai zuo shen mo!kuai dian hui lai!"
lol mr lim and his hair pulling frustration
i found a video of zz and yg singing " Mary had a noobie lamb" that i shot with my phone at the swing xD
it's like wth!??HAHAHA
damn funny!!!

remember all the stupid stuff that we did in boarding school in sec 4?
eating other ppl's ice cream from the fridge and writing a apology note for it
late night gossiping while lying on the bed then realizing that the ppl we are talking about are our neighbors and they can probably hear us xD
Those stupid code names like XIAMI and TWOGEN
and the Tanglin butch...and the FORKS
mugging art theory together...rushing last minute courseworks
me fighting the cockroaches while zz hides
and zz cleaning away the hair stuck at the shower drain while i hide
zz skipping early in the morning
yg sleepovers
our frequent visits to zl's room
.....
it goes on and on.....
there's some much things we went through
knowing each other for 5 plus years
how many 5 years do we have in our life time?
.....

today was...

  • Apr. 30th, 2008 at 11:46 PM

maybe i just don't have the heart

  • Apr. 20th, 2008 at 8:38 PM

to say it's boring :/
i cant wait to get overseas.

I woke up this morning
with a funny taste in my head.
Spackled some butter
over my whole grain bread.
Something tastes different,
maybe it's my tongue.
Something tastes different,
suddenly I'm not so young
.

coffee and cigarettes

  • Apr. 13th, 2008 at 8:30 PM

lying to oneself is unwise
it's minus minus minus
three in a row
you can erase it from your mind now
still negative
