Poke, poke, poke. Ouch, ouch, ouch.

I'm supposed to be blogging about my trip to Anexxe Gallery for an art exhibition but I'm so lazy to go get my phone cable to upload the pictures from my phone. Another time I suppose. When I'm not lazy that is.

The parents are hosting a little reunion gathering of their OLD friends and their children, at the confinement of my lovely little home, while I'm sitting in my room being all anti social. Yeap. I really dunno what to say really. All I could manage just now at the dinner table was to stare at my plate, eat and throw occasional smiles in their direction (if they were expecting me to say anything). 

See, my parents aren't the type to go all "Why don't you talk to them?" or "Don't just sit in your room, come out and entertain the guests". And so, that is why I'm here blogging.

I don't update my blog as frequently as Sue-En updates hers. Don't bother looking for it at my blogroll. Her blog is password protected. It's only viewable (is that even a word?) if you're invited.

Thanks for reading my 3 minutes of buulshit.

Oh, I'm gonna make a DOMOKUN pillow ! :DDD

Selamat Tahun Baru Cina!

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!


I made them little bunnies myself using golden red packets. It's a mini-er version from the previous but still cute nonetheless, no? Heeeeee ^.^

Tomorrow's the even of Chinese New Year and my schedule's jam-packed for the day. My plans for tomorrow are to head down to Pyramid to get my red Converse sneakers first. I am keeping my fingers really crossed that they have it in red and that it comes in my size. Imagine if I went all the way and to only end up with disappointment. No. Scratch that thought. I shall be optimistic! Yesh.

Right after my family and I will be heading to Klang where my grandma; mom's side is residing, for our annual lunch. The best part of the day is that there will be 2 dinners. Yeap, you read thaht right. T-W-O. This year's reunion dinner will be held at my uncle's place(the dad's bro) cuz all the places were fully booked and if not that, we are give a curfew to eat. Wtf right? And so my uncle offered his posh new crib for the dinner. 

My other uncle(the mom's bro) decided to choose the same day to bring us and the grandma for dinner. And only the eve of CNY will do because that's the only day where everyone's free. AND SO, my first dinner will be at Hyotan and only moving on to my uncle's place. Sigh. 

It's all very confusing and complicating. I know. 

I can just see myself gaining all those fats there :(

Perhaps, this will be my last post for 2010



In 4 more days, 2010 will be over and in 29 days, I'll be turning 17. 

I'll be an SPM candidate in 2011. A part of me can't wait to get it over it and yet another half doesn't wanna face it so soon. 

2010 wasn't a bitchy year but it wasn't all that great even. I'm hoping for more.... extraordinary events in the upcoming year considering the fact that it'll be my final year in the oh-so-GREAT high school.

Let the high rolling drama begin! Urgh.


P.S I'm a tumblr convert now :P

Building from scratch...

Night of the Egyptian Museum @ Stars & Planet Edufun Club.

After a series of weekends, getting up early like how I never do, the ditching of classes on weekdays and the staying till late at night at the mom's office, we finally got everything together and managed to put together a good show for the annual event.

We got off on a rocky start but things started going smoothly as we went. But of course there were bumps here and there though it wasn't something that we couldn't deal with.


Behind the scenes: The before process.

My task was to create a space for the uber precious exhibits. I don't remember what the very initial idea/plan was but that plan didn't follow through. After much consideration, googling, re-planning, I decided to use cardboard boxes to build them display units.

There were loads of shifting and rearranging in the process. By that I literally meant it. I kept fogetting which boxes go where and how do you put them together. Even by taking a picture of it doesn't help. It was..hard. Then the worse part was sticking everything together so that it wouldn't fall off. Ze mom and I tried all sorts of glue and tape. From the rel expensive ones to the ones that only cost 1 figure. And guess which one finally worked? The MYR6 one. LOL.



AFTER the whole sticking part, next comes the easiest part of them all... spray panting! One thing about it though, the paint fumes might just suffocate you. Everyone felt like they might just pass out in any second. Oh, I forgot the part where we had to shred the boxes with knives and pen knifes to create a less boring look for it. Those jagged parts gave out an ancient feel after being covered with spray paint. And that was one of the tricky part. A....certain skill is needed to get that awesome(?) effect. LOL. Ze mom does it ze best :)

    

When you put both the siblings together, you get loads of a series of random events. Haha. This is just A part of it. After a long and tiring day, it was fun having to let loose of ourselves. We de-stress by going crazy, acting like a duo of hooligans. Awesome, no?

The results



ZAPPPP! I somehow love this picture. Was actually fiddling with the settings to get a decent picture in very low lighting. The thing about Olympus cameras, it doesn't give out goos shots of anything if it's in low light/dark background. And if the flash is used, the whole effect of the background is gone 'cuz of the brightness of the flash =.= Be it a 14 or 10 mega-pixels Olympus, taking low light shots with it is a complete failure.


Thank goodness for the wonders of photoshop! I tried to twitch it a little here and there by brightening a few spots here and there. This is how a part of the display unit looks like. Am loving the effects !

                                 

Here's the unit as a whole. The photoshop did not work wonders here on the left side as you can see. Sigh. Mainly because it was extremely dark there. Oh well. 


The exhibits in one of the display units. A pyramid marked with the eye of Horus.


Cousin, Chee Foong who helped me out during the entire process. He, who can be a pain in the ass most of the time but is actually good company to have in times of stress.


See what I mean? He entertains me with his immaturity/childishness.


He may be twice the size of me but he still is the kid he is. I've known him for 12 years but I still get surprised to see him so...serious when doing something he actually enjoys. Say, crafting. Shocking, ain't it? For someone like him who likes art.


The man-made pyramid. The red lighting at the back actually made it quite creepy.


And then we have the other man made item, King Tutankhamen. He was made from scratch using cement(?). Not sure about it. It weighs up to 150 kilograms! The designs on it were drawn by a 13 years old boy. He has the whole artsy fartsy look. LOL.



Mind me. I forgot what these paintings meant. It's related to the King actually. These were also done by the same kid.


And here we have the Nefertiti. 


Some display items here.


The canopic jars where the Kings organs were stored back in the ancient Egyptian days. These jars were made by by 80 year old grandma. It is solid yet fragile at the same time. Back when my mom was an Arts student, she had heaps of assignments that includes sculpting and what not. My mom would always ask my grandma to finish it up for her at the very last minute. I guess that all came in handy, aye?


Fooling around #1


Fooling around #2

It was a rather new experience for me. I suppose I gained something from the entire process of it. If  you'd like to visit the museum, you can check their site out for more information about it. If not,  you can just catch it on TV3 and TV9 when they air it. They actually came to visit a couple of weeks ago. For those of you who reads KOSMO!, you might have came across the article featuring the event.

Okay. A proper post from me FINALLY. Hope you enjoyed the post! Till the next one :)
