wow, my first time blogging on the class blog! thanks to hyperxi i finally recalled my long lost username and password, haha -__- i've got more photos of even more amazing [hard to believe, but, YES, there were pieces which were more amazing and jaw dropping than ours] batiks which are TOTALLY stunning! like, you totally wont believe these people have been doing batik painting for less than 2 days. hai! life is not fair. this whole arty thing. it's either in you, or it's not [do i sound like heidi klum? hahahaha] haha hope you all had fun too! batik painting was great :) oh ya, 2 last things: 1) some remaining stacks of model essays and ISSUES at class bench. GRAB THEM BEFORE THEY GET CLEARED AWAY!!! 2) blog more! give me something to read when i get back, haha!
anyway, the one last good thing i'll do before i scurry off tomorrow is to post some photos to brighten up this otherwise uh photo-void blog.
so it begins that calvin, zhexi and i signed up for lomo art but it was cancelled abruptly so we decided to go for batik painting. it was a pleasant surprise as i found the process to be weirdly therapeutic [sp?], even the smell of wax was mildy appealing. hmm, after having no art classes for 3 years since 2003, the idea of expressing myself thru art [no matter how bad the art turned out to be] once again was really refreshing.
okay enough talk, let's see some of what we did! :)
calvin's piece of san fransisco [crap, sp again]. oops it's upside down. unfortunately blogger doesn't allow me to flip and i'm too lazy to do that. just. imagine :)
the hot pot with MOLTEN wax in it! it's really cool to play with molten wax. everyone should play with it someday.
mr ooi's impression of the beach. pretty neat huh? [ask him who drew it :P]
MY lollipop-frenzy world! calvin said it looked like a snail with a baby-head [?!?!!?!?] okay, i'm thinking, that's just calvin. i'm sure the rest of the world can tell it's someone licking a lollipop :) haha! while everyone else does serious stuff like beautiful landscapes or images of still life...i do something as frothy and frivolous as...sweet round balls. oh gosh.
the too-shy-to-show-their-full-faces artists and their amazing pieces of batik! great isn't it? :)

hey 06s61!
just to update u guys. think we will be having class outing like after block test instead? cuz this june holidays should be rather hectic for everyone, what with all the mugging and cca sessions etc. so i guess it would be more advisable to have a proper class outing immediately after block test, where everyone would not have to care abt tutorials,tests, ccas etc. especially since we end blocks early. we would be free souls from saturday(1st july) onwards. do check back regularly for updates on it. haha. we can even try to make going for nanyang fun fair a class outing! (kidding.)
oh and i think our class tee.... no hope already. too late. but its ok! if u guys still want it we can get it done another time! =) help kai keat by giving him some ideas on the class tee k?
X-MEN 3. the movie. are you guys still keen to watch it as a class? since 29th and 30th cannot, i would propose we watch it after artemis camp? lets see if we would be too tired by then.
have a fun-filled holidays but must still rmb to mug ABIT.
AND DO TRY TO KEEP THIS BLOG ACTIVE! =)

ah... we are all blogging about sabbaticals or something? well not that im making good use of my time at home so might as well.
Western Philosophy : boring , boring and more boring. The only question worth thinking about was " what is man". thus we kinda toggled back and forth between the materialist thinking that everything in our lives are mechanical and thus predestined or the idealist thinking that we have free will. its boring cause the lecturer wasn't open minded enough and kept sticking to the second POV. therefore, i slept throughout the rest of it. In the front row, no less. and i conveniently got diarrhoea on tuesday, which was good 'cause wang ye says it was even more boring than the first day .
Archery: archery rocks! or maybe its the relative comparison to philosophy... lol. that , and the fact that its 5 min away from my house. I suppose archery lends ppl that sort of aura. especially when u see the instructors demonstrating. But your hands kinda get sore from all the bow pulling. The only complain is that the bow, instead of a plastic coloured one, should be like wooden with engravings. yeah, im asking too much. This comes from watching too many movies like LOTR and narnia.
Anyway, that's it guys. have fun for the last day of sabbaticals.

hi this is your rather slack social secretary! its the holidays once again and here are some updates/upcoming events.
1) class teeshirt
we are frantically trying to print our class tee before the artemis camp so that we can parade our oh-so-wonderful tee at the mosquito-infested pualu ubin (who knows it might deter mozzies from biting us). so we need people to come up with designs! anyone who has any idea please sketch it out and show it to me asap! especially people like kai keat and wu fan who are from AEP. and for your information class tees usually take between 1 - 2 weeks to print. so the design needs to be out FAST!
2) X-Man 3
X-Man 3 will be showing in cinemas from 25th May. Lets go watch it as a class! =) yes we are booking you guys b4 you arrange to watch X-Man 3 with your cca mates/ex-classmates/friends/family etc. WATCH WITH 61! or you can always watch it again even if you have seen it. The tentative dates to watch X-Man 3 would be 29th or 30th May. so try to keep those dates free. =)))
3) Class outing in June
even though the block test is just around the corner, i think we should still have a class outing in June! anyone has any suggestions plz tell me. =) one possibility is to go huixiang's house for a bbq! will update you guys later on when things are confirmed. yup. so look out for more postings k? and post more on this blog!
