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!

What kind of person do you want to be in five years time?


Suddenly I thought of a question
"What kind of person do you want to be in five years time?"

This is a good question that helps you set a target.

In the future five years from now
how many more five years will we have?
Life changes unpredictably
do what you truly desire, if it's right for you.

For me, I think...life 
all of us have quite a pretty nice living enviorment
we have 3 meals per day since young,  there's also shelter and we also have 

the chance to go to school.
Even having the simplest, plainest fate is also considered to be lucky.
but some dreams are good too

In term of careers
in the next five years I can become an excellent interior designer
creating designs based on my personal style
customers allow me to design because they apperciate my creations
and not because of the business code of conduct 'give in to the demands of 
what the customer wants'.
perhaps this is a problem that is inevitable in the business world.
You have to go according to your own preferences although communication 
and mutal understanding is essential as well.

I believe every interior designer would want to complete something that makes 
people will apperciate

Hundreds of people will have hundreds different views
but I believe one day I will meet people who will apperciate my work
and I also hope that interior designers does not only provides comfort to 
people in life but also a form of art in life.

In life, I am someone who enjoys fun haha
so...
I wish to travel to many many countries and visit ;p
with my family, friends and my other half to flyyyyyyy around the worlddddd~

but people will change
slowly getting into the working society, our thinking may have changed too much
I don't like commitments or promises
getting returns in actual is then the real profit

Psychological value
















Recently I watched a show and in it, it posed a question.
'Psychological value' this captivated my attention.
how much is the value within you to everybody?

To be honest, there is no right or fixed answer
For this everyone, everyday at every second
will have a possibility to change his/her own thinking.
Naturally, the value itself will change as well
but physiological value remain as a strong existence.

Perhaps some people would use their life as an attempt to try or explore new things or different experiments.
This is when one's mind will assume "hey, this is worth trying"
and this result in 'when one is chasing one's target's value, already surpass one's life value.
This is the power of psychological value.

To put it in simple terms,
adventurers does not have to put their safety first and risk their life
this proves that their goal of exploring/adventuring is their priority - their psychological value,
almost surpassing their own life.
The things that they do, to them it is much more meaningful and valuable.
They feel that it is like everything to them and therefore felt touched.

Everybody's way of thinking are different
thus, the value will differs as well
every form, every object
every way of thinking, every types of matters perhaps even every little time or
others will have their own value.

If you were to ask me, in my heart
what will be the most valuable thing
feelings

The problem is not the problem, the attitude you take when facing the problem is the problem!


I really like my own creations, even if it wasn't done well enough,
it was still completed with every effort I put.
Even if it has a huge pile of flaws,
with the heart to amend it slowly,
people will marvel in awe of admiration.

Isn't life the same as well?
Through experiences, 
this kind of life would be more exciting
but please do not repeat the same mistakes.

Even if you failed, and encountered setbacks, as long as you preserve,
with the right mindset to face it and change.
However, what if your mindset is wrong?
Disappointment, low morale and thoughts of giving up?
The only medicine others can give you is 'encouragement'
this can only give you a temporarily support
no one can give you strength but instead, it is attained through countless numbers of failures
this is life's most vital strength.

World's famous philosophy professor Jim Robin once said
 "What one has now in the present is not important, what is important is the person you 
change into in the future.You want to change things, but how can you not change yourself first
The problem is not the problem, the attitude you take when facing the problem is the problem!"

The problem is not the problem, the attitude you take when facing the problem is the problem!
This sentence is awesome, right?

Society, enemy, yourself?


People will unknowingly and slowly change 
From young till old it will be the same 
In regards to a society where reality and ideals inter-cross 
Be it humans, animals and things nothing in this world can last forever.

The most valuable things are considered to be simplicity and having a thrifty heart
But to the people of our modern age 
Having this kind of idea is kind of silly

No one will take notice of what you have said
Action speaks louder than everything
In a society where the weak are preys to the strong
It is already filled with so much complexity
So please do not complicate it any further

In this world people like to compete with others
 "The greatest enemy is you" everyone knows of this sentence
But who can really apply this theory on to themselves?

Growing Up


Never run away, be honest with yourself
When we are growing up, we can not avoid mistakes.
Admitting and apologizing isn't a fearful thing
what's fearful is the refusal to repent
Apologizing using the mouth but not from the heart
anyone can do that.
so is love...
Have you all realized yet?
How many of you will tell your parents 'I love you' from the bottom of your heart?
That simple 3 words seems to be a diffcult thing for people nowadays.
'FAMILY' Do you understand what does this means?
Father
And
Mother
I
Love
You
As long as everyone put in a little effort, this world will be filled with warmth.

The child in one's heart


In everyone's heart, there's a child
if your arms reach out to your chest
can you hold on to it?

That sturboness, laughter and cries
falling asleep after feeling tired, the noisy chattering side,
that honest face, that does not fear being hurt
the innocent attitude of not having the need to worry about anything and just do 

whatever he wants
that self that does not remember yesterday's pain

day after day, year after year...
Those journeys that you have travelled, have you asked yourself what have you 

done all along?
Looking back, it was rather ordinary.. hehe
it isn't so bad being ordinary though, being healthy and living in peace is vital. 

Somehow it feels like I am getting old.

In life, there will always have never ending things happening..
Nomatter wat happen
always put on a cheerful smile and have a pure heart to solve everything
