a nice track to listen to might be "the longest story" by Daphne loves Derby, though

when the day met the night by panic at the disco

window in the skies by U2
the boy in the painting finds a superhero.

shucks i didnt take debo's painting. basically, it's a painting of a bald old man. and a foetus. in a cage. trapped in a never ending cycle of life and death.

amazing stuff.
thanks. beats your cheapo JPEG internet pictures .we painted these in about fifteen days, i dont really mind painting now. the canvases were mostly 1.5 metres by 1.5 on average.

i wonder if they'll display all these paintings around the school. painting in itself is fun only at certain times, like when we were talking and having fun. and like with certain music. there were days i explored the tunes of travis while on others i just blasted mandopop for sian ru and yan jie. somehow through this i uncovered many nice new songs. my music taste has changed once again. it has shifted to a ...broader perspective.

like the songs mentioned above?
er maybe some. talk to you bout it another time.

sounds like fun
yeah it was. no really.
we painted everyday for the first two weeks of the holidays. the brushes are mostly dying, i doubt i'd use them much anymore. i have treated them badly. i still have the old shirt i used to dry the brushes. my paper palettes have all been used up, the disposables. acrylic paints range from the anorexic blue tubes to the fat red.

Photobucket
in the art room?
yah my painting corner for the last five or so days. other times, we were all outside in the corridor. like animals in a zoo.
something like this
Photobucket
shucks i forgot to take photos of my scotch tape. that was sian ru. we had tape for most of the days. with different themes like animals and harry potter and superheroes and ..oh. characters from alice in wonderland.
...the picture's too small
then enlarge it, you dumb blog. anyway it says animal exhibit 749 (mine was 369 a random number i thought of) and sloth (crime guitly of. i think mine was serial murderer or something. i cant remember. ohyeah. yakuza. part of the yakuza. yamaha bikes oohyeah.) and carnivore. which i stuck there. since he's famously vegetarian.
ah. interesting. amusing.
i was harry potter on harry potter day, i remember. and white rose on alice day. i never knew of such a character. but there were few characters to choose from, from those that werent picked yet.
superhero day?
chase stein. talkback.
he's a superhero?
welll marvel character. from runaways. he has firearms. no literally firearms.
i must remember to find that picture of me in my beautiful daredevil mask.

but the tapes had to be removed from where we left them. actually they are more of labels. we left them on the locker but all that tape art had to be removed . to make the locker room look neater. ms hew asked sian ru to remove the tape.
thats sad.

this ,tom, was my outdoor painting corner. with my good rolling chair and faithful fan , always by my side.
what , you had a fan just to yourself? and a rolling chair. sheesh.
quiet, i am the kaiser, i am the king.
(WHERE is that photo of miao fanning me darrrn i need it)
Photobucket
the music corner
Photobucket
that there is Mr Q, my special chinese chess piece. i turned to chinese chess during the desperate last days of painting when i got bored. i beat jo
Photobucket
and this is enci holding up her paints in her apron.

i am tired.
but i've been speaking more.
i dont know. i havent been getting enough sleep. and hanging out at chinese websites bores me.
hey. i just had my chinese oral.
oral?
exam. on thursday. oh! i tried digital art
wow o really
dont take that tone with me. yeah but it isnt really pro? just a nicer version of my sketches. and deviant art's lagginess sucks. pissed off ness. only managed to upload one sketch.

;aklgshapoihgaokgh i need to do more 'masterpieces'. spend more time on proper artworks. not need to. i guess i just want to.
and i feel like writing. a story a narrative.
maybe another time i'd go work on a longer version of that story i wrote for lit.
about?
great expectations
about?
it's a surprise.
hope you enjoyed the radio.
..yeah
