Journal 5

On Monday, our class and VA1M went for a short field trip in art museum. It was my second chance to pay a visit here. Still, it is really amazing and I enjoy myself inside. It was a quote written on the wall and I found it is meaningful. "Truth has rough flavors if we bite it through." ---- George Eliot. Sometimes, we need to accept the truth although it hurts. It hurts because it matters. Learn to let go things that not belong to us and accept the fact. Although it hurts so much but it is what make us stronger and stronger.

I love this picture so much. It is out of focus and yet so clear. I don't know where I am going now. I feel lost sometimes. I am not that brave enough to face all the problem alone. I hope there is light for me to lead me to the right path. Just make me feel warm.

I love ice-cream so much! This ice-cream shop is just opposite to our school. It really tastes nice and it had brighten up my day. Hope I can enjoy this favorable ice-cream everyday and every time. 

How to have a happy life? Happy life is you can being yourself no matter what happens and yet you still smile like nothing happens. It is easy to have a happy life but it is also hard to have a happy life. I am happy and contented with my life now and I enjoy it so much. I hope that everyone that I love and I know is having their happy life now.

Last Friday, I went to a bar to have my dinner with friends. The name of the bar is Grill Bar Steak House. This is the dish that I order and it is really too delicious. Although it is a bit cosy but still it worths for the price. I spent my time with the classmates in my secondary school. We talked about everything which we had been experienced after we graduated. We played our laughter as loud as possible. They are still the old friends that I used to know.

Last Sunday, I went to my secondary school as my school was having the school anniversary. It is the 101st years for my school and I am really glad to have a chance to go back. All the student and teacher will organize a lot of activity such as haunted house, game house, escape room and a lot to celebrate this big days and do fund-raising for my school. The students will also organize the food stall and selling food which was prepared by themselves. I  got a chance to meet friends during last Sunday. How I wish time could turn back to the time when I first stepped into school.

I feel a bit sad when I do my blog post as it had recalled back all my memories in old times which I will never experience it again. Time flies but the memory won't fade away. It is always in my heart, always.

These are the artworks of my classmates and I found they are so expert. Everyone is so creative and amazing that they all had come out with different "movements". Big claps to us as we all had done our job. And I took all these pictures last Tuesday in our 3D fundamental class. Our lecturer had marked our 3D works by giving marks openly. It was a new experience to me.

As I am staying here alone so I don't have much chance to eat home-cooked meal. Last Thursday, the owner of the room I rent, she cooked fried rice for me as lunch. Although it was only a simple dish but enough for me to feel her kindness and caring. I really appreciate it so much. It was a wonderful lunch for me, really.

Our 2D fundamental homework for this week is to find texture from magazines and create the pattern, something just like the collage. When I look into the magazines, I found this few meaningful quotes in the magazines. These are the words from designers and what they want to tell about their jobs and study. Most of them are talking about passion. They keep reminding me to do what I really love and never give up no matter what we met in future. Life in NAFA is really tiring and busy I can say so. But I never regret about it. I enjoy my life now and enjoy what I am doing now. Sometimes I am not doing good and I am not that perfect, but still it doesn't kill my passion to draw. 

"How to have a happy life?" Tittle that we did for mind-mapping and brain storming last week. I think the answer is most probably to love and to be loved, right? I love my family, my friends and those who love and care about me. I love them just like the way they love me. Be kind and generous to this world. Give as much as we can but not expect any returns. It make life wonderful and beautiful, indeed.

Time flies and another week pasts. This is where I have my drawing fundamental class. It is the classroom of fine art and it locates at Wing A level 6. I love this classroom the most. It is full of the feeling of art and where we can express ourselves. But unfortunately, I am not from fine art department and maybe it will be the only chance I come here to learn. Although I am not that good in drawing compare to other students, but I love drawing. A way to express myself and of course, words.

Last week, I paid a visit to a special cafe in JB. I took the first picture from wall in the shop. It is so creative of using the masking tape for customers to draw and paste it on the wall as decoration. And I found the drawings were just the way too fun and amazing. The food and drinks there are nice and the atmosphere there just made me want to spend my whole day there.

This is the picture which took at the creative thinking class last week. One of my creative group mate drew the face of expression on the eggs. Well, the crying one ended up broken into pieces and the egg on the right hand side had survived! 

And I enjoy eating actually, especially spending my time eating with who I love. I was having my lunch with the greatest woman in this world when I took this picture. Ya, my mummy. I only realize how comfortable the home is after I stay in Singapore alone. It is good to have someone beside you when you are having meals. I really wish to go back home everyday.

"We read the world wrong and say that it deceive us." I found this quote on the pencil box of my friend. Ya, undeniable it is true. Sometimes, we are the one who cover up all the truth and still lying. Just because we can't accept the truth which is hurt.

I found this teddy bear in the wardrobe last Saturday. It is such a long time I didn't play with my toys. I still remember that it is a gift when I was 9 years old. Finally I get the chance to play with it because I want to draw it.

Last Thursday, I went for a movie with my friend in Singapore and it is my first to watch a movie here. It is quite different in Malaysia but anyway it is a good experience. The movie I went to watch is INTO THE STORM. It was really a nice and educational movie. I will just skip the part of the story and effect in this movie. What I want to share is the meaning of this movie. At the beginning of the movie, the main character has gathered some people to film a video for themselves after 20 years. But at the end of the movie after they experience the typhoon, one of them say, " It doesn't matter how long I can live because I don't know, but what matters is I am alive now." Life is too short. We can't expect what will happen tomorrow. What we can do is cherish every moment and people around you, don't regret only when you lose them.

It is the 3rd week since I have been studying here. NAFA life is quite busy but more plenitude. I enjoy my life here and I love it very much although sometimes I miss home. I can learn a lot of techniques about drawing in NAFA which is fun and interesting. I feel grateful and lucky because I find the path which I am interested in.

Growing up is not an easy task for me. I always hope that I will never grow up and don't have to learn to be independent in life. But, they are the reason why I want to grow up quickly. Ya, they are my lovely parent.

I spotted this fat cat outside the OG Complex last Friday when I was going home. It had attracted a lot of attention and people surrounded it and took photo of it. I felt so excited because it is just the way too cute! (It doesn't look fat in this photo but it is really fat.)

I was graduated from my secondary school in the year of 2013. The life I spent in Foon Yew High School was such a memorable memory for me. Now, everyone that I have known for many years are in different country to further their studies. Some stays in Malaysia, some is going to Australia and some is coming to Singapore. We are all apart in the world. Sometimes, I just hope that time could turn back to the first day when I first know them. Humans are contradiction. We don't know how precious it is when we are holding it until we lose it. Time can't be turned back but I really wish that everyone that I know is having a happy and healthy life now. Cheers to our future and wish that my friends are doing good now.

After I graduated from my secondary school, I had a part time job as a teacher in an art school. I took this picture when the children are singing using their handmade "musical instrument". Others might find it is hard to teach children but I really enjoy my job. I love being with them as they always brighten up my days. I can forget everything that make me frustrated when I am with them because they are just too adorable and cute. They are angles, and of course my precious. I miss them a lot since I had resigned my job because of my study. Although it is stress to be a teacher but I never regret. At the end of the every lesson, they will say "Thank you Teacher Liqing." Ya, "thank you" is actually what I want to tell them because I really learn a lot from them. They have taught me how wonderful this world is and help me to pull through a lot of difficulty. THANK YOU, my children.

This is the group project which we did last week. It was fun and it was a good experience for me as I can learn a lot from my group mates. We cooperated well and also I know them more through this activity. Queenie, who is active and confident and Wenli, who is responsible and organized. 

This is the photo I took when I was traveling to China. I love this photo the most among all because it just made me have some kind of feeling about the scenery. I still remembered that I took this photo to participate in a photography competition. We need to write a caption or meaning behind the photo when we passed up. "Let's us move outside the city and have our life there together when we grow up."------I wish that one day I can move out the busy city and have a quiet life with my love one.

I found this picture when I was playing with my phone on Facebook. How true the picture is. "Unknown, just update every minute." ------ about you. I don't know how good he is but he is just irreplaceable even when I lose him. I hope I have the courage to uninstall it somedays.

Another interesting picture I found from Facebook. It is funny and true to all the designers in the world. But don't give up no matter what happens.
