Nevada Blues

The crappy/uncrappy things that went on along the time span of this week in bullets with no particular sequence:

• I forgot to mentioned how we had our Job Interview on Monday and I got to work in this autoshop-slash-doorsmeer thingy courtesy of Kosim along with another 3 dudes and we're expected to start right after SA is over. The bad thing about it is that we have to work a full-day shift for five days which means it's 8-to-5 full-on work and I don't think I could manage that.

• Try-outs are supposed to be tomorrow and I didn't know that it wasn't exactly mandatory for us until like two hours ago, but I guess my parents will flipped out if they found out that I purposely miss a try-out. So, yeah.

• Oral exams had ended a week ago but I'm still feeling jittery about the results because I totally ruined my English oral by blabbering nonsense and unimportant stuffs to the invigilators which is kind of sad considering the fact that I was totally confident ready before I take the exam.

• The trip to Perth is a go-go which is kind of surprising since I was expecting it to be a no-go considering the fact that almost none of us displayed any kind of form of enthusiasm when the trip was announced. But now that I guess it's kind of official, it's gonna be fun fun fun.

• you make me laugh a lot this week which is great and i love you for that and please don't lose hope in me because I will never lose hope in you

• SA starts on Monday, and I'm feeling sooo freaking nervous. Secondary life is a cycle of neverending misery. In the first year they will shock you up with a ton more subjects and a lot more boring teachers (can't really blame them though), and then at sec 2 they'll put you for checkpoint, third year is all about tests tests tests and national exams and tests tests tests, and I don't think I would even be alive for my fourth year.

• Right after hell SA is over I swear I'm gonna dye at least half of my hair. I'm as free as my hair baybehh yeehh~

• "Penggalauan masal" oh my god. Blame my crazy friends, Taylor Swift, and guitar.

• I can't get over this painting. It's just so... amazing.

• I miss my *~b3St FrAnn~* :-(

• I might or might not go to Singapore for Christmas. I dunno.. It's kinda boring I guess, but Yen told me she's also going but I guess we won't meet since she'll be off to Thailand soon. I have a feeling that this holiday won't be a pleasant one for me.

• Breaking Dawn does not make any slightest sense. And the werewolves animation looks sooo fake.

• Bob Marley is so brilliant he could change people's lives. Everyone should listen to his music. and Gnarls Barkley's

• dats dat. gudbaii! <3

Les Cactus

The fact that you could actually make a paper collage in your computer blows me away, really.

I might or might not post more crappy, meaningless collages like this in this in the future.

Oh, and I was procrastinating a while ago, and I've realized that it's almost 10.30 and I have barely done anything. Very productive of me.

SuperWarhol

Caught a fever and still suffering from my jet lag, so I decided to stay in bed today and read the SuperWarhol book that I bought in Paris a few weeks ago.

It was very thick and incredibly heavy, but it was sold in a very reasonable price and it was worth it anyway.

One of Warhol's quotes in the book.

The thing about Warhol is that his artworks are very bold and bright and controversial and vivid and it could be both categorized as commercial and non-commercial art. I love the fact that he designed ads but also did his own independent works.

I don't know why, but I'm more interested in seeing Warhol working (especially when he's shooting) rather than by just looking at his works. It's not like I didn't like his artworks - I love them! - it's just that most artists are either quite or very private but Warhol was loud when it comes to his ideas and opinions. I can say that I do not agree in all of his ideals, but I highly appreciate his confidence.

The first ever Warhol's work that I ever encountered wasn't the Campbells Soup ad, surprisingly. It was The Velvet Underground's album cover. And it was amazing.

"Robert Mapplethorpe", one of my personal favorites.

As you can see, I'm a sucker when it comes to black and white photos.
