huhu^^

Finally completed drawing, after weeks! Scanned into black and white with high contrast. ^^

Urgh, my mouth seems offffff.

Oh yea, haven’t been blogging for a long time. It’s been a busy week with little sleep.

Let’s see..last Friday late night (eve of fiesta), I decided to do 75 rounds on track for the "longest distance". The first 50 rounds were ok, I didn’t stop running. However, mental strength wasn’t strong enough after that, and I started walking. That was really a bad idea, because from then on, I kept suffering from calf cramps on and off. Fortunately, some of my students decided to join the walk/run routine with me, and that really made the remaining rounds much less monotonous. Thanks, girls. I’m really grateful. Owe you people 75 pizzas. haha. Phew, started the run nearing 12am, and ended at almost 4am.

So, I was practically sleep-walking for the whole of Saturday. Kudos to all the girls who ran in the unearthly hours and were still able to keep up with running of the games and food stalls! Oh, the Maze was a good one! Gd effort, $5 well-spent. And I bought 2 Bubble Tea to support my class. Hey, it was nice.. and the colour wasn’t all that bad. Hehe.

And at 3pm SHARP, I was to go to the basketball court to get dunked. -.- 1 Truth said they put up the video on their blog, which I have no clue what the url is.

Raeann: The water wasn’t refreshing. @@

Haha, actually quite fun falling into the container. Especially when you thought the opponent had missed all her 3 tries and you’re safe. And then she used her bare hand to push that lever to make you drop into the water anyway. MISS LIN KAILI!! 

So, that was for fiesta. Nothing else that’s interesting enough to blog for now. Byee! 

P.S. Oh! I’ve completed my 2nd portrait drawing. It’s really hard to draw hair that looks realistic. Any drawing expert can give me some tips? ^^

Whenever visiting Thailand, be it in Bangkok or other provinces, one will never fail to see artists on the streets or shops drawing life portraits, or portrait from photographs, for sale.

I have always been amazed by these artists, who are able to duplicate any portrait photographs onto their drawing board by just using pencil and charcoal. The uncannily alikeness between the original photographs and their black and white drawings is simply unbelievable.

Inspired, motivated, though still untalented, I decided to pick up portrait drawing. Armed with a guidebook, an easel that I recently bought, and some necessary drawing materials, I started to explore this new found hobby of mine. Coincidentally, my childhood art teacher is still teaching in a neighbourhood RC, and with just a low tuition fee of $25 per 4 lessons, how could I resist the temptation to enrol in her drawing lessons once again?

Well, I’m giving myself half a year from now. Hopefully, in September, I’ll be able to produce my first 见得人的 portrait drawing.

แอ๊บสู้ๆ นะ เทว่ยก็สู้ๆ ด้วยนะ ^^
