my bubble dreams

me and peter playing around with a friends newly painted wall and the opportunity of great natural lighting.

as the end of school is arriving, ive been getting myself mentally prepared for the season of giving and receiving. not to mention my mum giving me the thought of the next year.

so im pondering over what my new years resolution should be and attempt to actually stick with it. my past decision (when i was much younger) of my some what, promise, i intended to keep are listed as follows:

• cut down on chocolates and sweet treats
• start reading novels and pocket books
• take up violin (again)
• do well in school

as a child, i was being completely unfaithful to the promises i made on my list. and to be honest those "aims" listed above are impossible for a little girl with no commitment and no self-motivation to actually keep throughout the year. cutting down on chocolate at the age of 7? hells no. i never really liked books to begin with so of course setting my aim for reading books was out of the page (slight pun), i attempted putting myself in a dark gloomy corner and picked up a book and after 4 pages, i neglected the novel for my colouring book and/or my barbie dolls.

but now, seeing as though i have matured, i decided to make my own little changes without the help of a so-called list of aims.

i have given up on chocolates and sweet treats, ended up going to the gym everyday and actually doing well in school. im in good shape as far as life goes. i have a wonderful boyfriend, friends i love, a family that supports me, school is exhausting but in the long run i love what i do (and getting really good results).

so what should my new years resolution be?

drop a little comment of YOUR new years resolution- just cause im interested

ta ta for now

a 14 hour painting session

hello world.

i have been extremely busy creative wise. the weekend that just past has been the most intensive painting session i ever had in my 17 years of living on this earth. the exhibition that i am part of had a follow up project where we paint this huge mural. and this event is called detour 2009 where its two weeks of creative happenings in the old hong kong police headquarters in central. it is probably the most ecstatic event i have been part of and its really an open door experience as well as being inspired with the works of upcoming artists and fashion designers. 

this old hong kong police headquarters use to be a shelter for married policemen where their families can bunk in with their husbands working late night hours. the thing that made my face drop was the transformation of the entire venue, because their aim is to turn it into a huge bauhaus for artists and designers. where we can feel wanted and showcase the passion we all have. right now i am going nuts for oldschool warehouse and ive always wanted to be part of it. and thank god i am!

in fact i was able to come out of my comfort zone due to the fact my safety net for my art relies on pen and pencil. pretty much the basic utensils for any artist. with the style of work that i do, using a paintbrush will make me go completely OCD because the lines wouldn't come out perfect. yes yes i am a perfectionist to an extent. to my surprise, i was able to pull-through the total of 14 hours using nothing but a paintbrush and black acrylic paint. 

the images above are what the mural looks like. 

breaking news:

on sunday was the day of the weekend where new coming fashion designers from polytec university comes together to display their inventions and creations. so there was this one stall that print amazing designs on canvas bags and t-shirts and the woman in charge, came up to me and asked for my name, email and mobile number so that i can design a t-shirt for them! how awesome is that?! more more designing to do!

also!!!! i got an email from a friend regarding an exhibition for their little project called the beehive project where they rise money to help the children in china and they do this through music and creative events. i got invited to paint of these two pair of jeans that they produced, one before hand and one on the actual day (19th dec 2009).

one chocolate a day

i started playing around with photoshop and was able to get some pretty kick-ass photos

cotton on sequined beanie, market leggings, forever 21 faux fur vest, H&M shoes

its official! 2 weeks til school ends. i cannot stress the triumph i am beginning to have knowing that i dont have to wake up at 6am during week days, procrastinate over work and finally getting the well-needed rest i should be having. i do believe that christmas break is for 2 weeks and a bit; for the record, i dont think this will be a break for most of us at least. in fact i do plan on working during the holidays, at least for a couple of hours. completely coming off guard, i never knew how hard working i have morphed into. i am normally the nahh-ill-do-it-last-minute-and-hope-to-get-a-good-grade kinda girl, i have managed to ooze out some self motivation and do work almost every second of every minute, every hour of every day. i (and to all my IB suffering friends) deserve a good rest.

speaking of which, i feel the christmas bliss flowing into my household, the mother has decorated our apartment with a gold, green and red candy canes, bells, stockings and oddly enough a mistletoe above our dining table

does that mean i have to kiss my mum every time we sit on the dinner table? apart from that, its pretty.

she also brought home, my yearly advent calendar, containing as much excitment as i can, i get to eat one small piece of chocolate a day. every morning i am just so eager what shape or form my next chocolate will come in. i have learned to stop eating surgery treats, and its been far too long.

as far as putting together a christmas list? i dont really have one. the mother and my aunt split a recent gift i got, which is the brand new sony ericsson aino in black. i do boast, that this phone works pretty much like an iphone, apart from the fact it has buttons, it also has the touch screen feature and did i mention the whole slide-your-finger-across-the-screen-to-answer feature? yea it does that too. so im pretty much set there, but i do wish for more clothes? maybe santa would like to do that for me? im pretty sure ive been a good girl, excluding all my nights out, i have been an angel. so technically this is my letter to santa (lets hope he reads it).

whats on your christmas wish list?

ta ta,

ps. quick shoutout to katherine, another tattoo design on the way :)

you wanna be on top?

im no model. this is a project for my friend whose creating a fashion magazine and she managed to get really nice clothing from Mong Kok boutiques. From the choices i had to wear, i was very tempted to do shopping right there and then. i fell in love with this long sleeve shimmer mini dress with futuristic shoulder pads. trying to follow trend as much as possible, i am a huge fan of shoulder pads and have sparked a love interest in them.

oh yes and not forgetting about the shoes, went head over heels (notice the slight pun) for these two pairs of boots, one ankle and one quarter. they had this hardcore biker chick thing going on. as a matter of fact i even had the guts and balls to ask my friend if i could possibly buy them in equivalent to my service for her, just not in cash. to my despair it was quite a hand-full on my empty wallet. so i abort the idea and moved on.

i didnt quite mind the fact i was able to leave at lunchtime to go shoot these photos and have my couple hours of fame and "glamour". we started outside the school on these rusty fence, it was quite terrifying having not just the guard but pretty much local students, dirty-perverted truck drivers, teachers, an old lady stare at you while your posing in a) extreme make up, b) clothes not a lot of people in hong kong would dare to wear and c) during school hours. I even had to walk around school scoring such make-up and needless to say change into the different clothes. so yes, i was walking around school in heels and short shorts. fun times for me. i was surprised the teachers did tell me off for wearing too much make up; but i did get quite a few looks when i do pass by but once they saw my friends carrying three over-sized bags containing the clothes and a camera, im pretty sure they figured it out.

anyways try and enjoy my modelling skills. these are a few of the many that we have taken, i shall upload them and update this blog, so stay in tuned.

dont wake, wont wake up, cant wake up

ok finally an update. i have been extremely busy for the past couple of weeks, which is why my blog posts have been relatively limited. but i am back with something fascinating to share with you all.

the pictures above are taken today of me and a couple of people in art classes painting a mural for the artist and my favorite singer of all time, mika. this project is basically for the younger year as their art coursework- we did something fairly similar however we designed CD covers for a new band here in +852 called mr. i in fact never heard of this canto-rock-ish band and am not a fan either. consider these young aritstic beings lucky

this is in a way preparation for his concert which is happening...TOMORROW of which i am going to and not to mention free standing, so plan: get there damn early to be in the presence of the legend that brought fine tunes such as grace kelly, lollipop, big girl, we are golden and many more.

oh yes, did i say that he's also coming to our school to view this mural we've created? dont think so, but yes he's coming into our school to look at what we have done and my job? take care of the 50 press that will be showing up to our school. haha we have the whole school on lock down from my classmates playing security to people doing runners jobs bringing mika whatever he damn well needs. pretty hectic huh?

so yes, the wall is so close to being finished, in fact tomorrow i am returning to the wall for another quick and snappy painting session. i've sacrificed quite a lot of my break times, leaving me with paint in my hair, forehead and ofcourse clothing and hands. truely shows my artistic-ness. so i personally think i should be getting a wat? VIP pass to meet him? i think so....

MIKA, HI YEA HOLLA AT YOUR GIRL!

i cannot express the excitment i have. its currrrrrrrrrrrazzzyyyyy!

im sure you will hear from me after tomorrow and its gonna be big
