4 Oct 2013 - NAFA Funday


Today's last essay will use the activity that the school held called 'Funday' for my ending post. It's grateful that today's weather turned out great and many activities lined up for us were exciting! Firstly there was this running game they called it 'Telematch' where participants raced against each other and played games, I couldn't really see what they were doing because there were too many people gathering around it. There was also this area filled with foams, where people go inside and foam will come out and stick on to everyone, it was so funny! Then there was this performance  in the multi function hall and some of the students were dancing on stage, everyone was very wild and happy, music blasting away and the emcee was funny also. Although I didn't participate in any of the activities but it was still a fun classmate gathering.

Everyone went down to the water to play, initially I did not wanted to go down the waters but was still forced in the end. Haha, actually it's not bad also and some people even brought balls and played Frisbee, everyone were enjoying themselves to the extreme. At the same time, each of us were also in charged of bringing food over for our picnic.

After a whole day, we finally left at 5pm, some went home, some continued to have their own activities. Due to the excessive homework that resulted in stress, this activity has decreased the level of stress by a lot. I love nature a lot.
Beach is so great!

Master Sun

Recently I am chasing this Korean drama 'Master Sun' which is a horror show mixed with comedy and it is also quite touching.
The synopsis is about this main actress who can see ghost after dying from an accident. When she is relaxing, the ghost can possess her body. This also affected her sleep resulting in to not look like human nor ghost. Until she saw the male actor, she realize that every time she tried to come in contact with him, she can't see ghost so she keep stalking the male actor.  Because of this special ability, it allows her to help many other ghost complete all the regrets around them. One of which left a deep impression in me was the story about the dog. The story talks about one weak and incompetent soldier and his dog, the soldier doesn't has any friends in the army, when his officer scolded him, his dog will use actions as a form of encouragement. One day, his dog died due to a major illness. The soldier couldn't take the blow, thus he became someone who escaped from the army and have thoughts of killing himself. The ghost of the dog attempted to bring the female actress to it's owner to console him.

Hike



















When you receive something, it may not be for a long time
once you lose something, it does not means you won't get it again
gaining and losing can not be avoided
Please cherish whatever you possess and enjoy it.
loss, it doesn't means you can't get it again
or maybe loss remind everyone in the world to cherish materials
The harder this journey is, the sweeter it will taste when you see the results
it's hard to avoid tiredness along the way, there may be times where you have the idea of giving up
then please recall why did you even made this decision in the first place
Life is like a one time hike
the important thing is to learn how to smile during times of hardships.

chances are given to people who prepares!

















Time is something that does not leave any trace after obliterating every seconds.
if it must come it will come, if it must leave, it always will not stay.
I do not like force nor do I like forcing people.
Things that came by force will only last for a short time
Insisting and striving for something is separated by just a thin line
Both will result in getting something or someone.
Insisting means surpassing self capability and outer control conditions to achieve something.
Forcing usually will not have a good result
Striving means what you truly want depends on your own ability to pursue.

Time is the judge and can also be a healer
Once you failed, do not be sad, believe in yourself
Not enough ability means won't have the power to strengthen and achieve the basic expectation.
Chances are given to people who prepares!

Untitled

This is on of the artworks in 'MADE IN SINGAPORE - THREE QUARTERS OF A CENTURY'

'MADE IN SINGAPORE - THREE QUARTERS OF A CENTURY' is an exhibition celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA).

I choose this artwork 'Untitled' done by Baet Yeok Kuan because the metal plates on the floor were arranged one by one, it catches my attention when i first saw it when compared with other artworks. It is made up of recycle material and not only promote a nostalgic feeling. This artwork portrays a pair of hands carefully to protecting something like children or parents.

Upon reading the author's explaination, I learn that the artwork is relating to childbirth being a highly intensive, emotional moment which involves at least two bodies - mother and child. By recording these emotional moments onto fifty six alumnium plates, this artwork instilled mixed feelings of fear and anxiety, with a little bit of happiness

Cherish


When I saw this word, I felt that its's worth sharing.
'Once you know that death is an unavoidable destination at the end, we will
cherish more of the process of this journey.'
'Once you understand the meaning of death, you will cherish life.'

People usually will not cherish the things that they have
perhaps they thought that those things they possess are a given.
naturally hurting people who cared for you deeply
neglecting the every little things in life.

You only life once, there is no restart in your book
please be ready at all times
welcome the future's challenges
and not running away from problems, resorting to suicide as a solution.

To cherish something, it's easy to say
I am also learning in the process hahahaaha!
