'Celebrated' end of 1st module in 1st block with a late lunch at Manpuku @ tamp one..


With Jen, LH.. we love the background.. just that some of the mirrors with beautifully classic frames are put so high up.. Can't serve as our vanity mirrors, hehe just for decorative purposes~

The food are reasonably priced.. Spent a Grand total of $8 for sakura ebi okonomiyaki & dessert (ice cream).. Would recommend it to East-siders.. Or anyone who happens to be near Tampines Central.. Manpuku's a japanese food court at level 3 btw..

For those living nearer to town, theres a Ishi Mura japanese food court at City Square Mall (just opp Farrer Park Mrt & i prefer to walk there fr Lavender mrt) It has Absolutely Awesome Okonomiyaki!!!! So tasty that i didnt even think of trying anything else on my repeat visit.

Lol.. those who know me, will probably know that i'm those type who likes to try out diff things/food~
Wouldn't eat the same stuff very often even tho she likes it.. Really cant comprehend those who can have chicken rice every other day just cos they love it~

Loved the matcha ice cream at Manpuku~^^
Wants to be back there to try Sesame ice cream.. Recently, i tried Uzumaki's black sesame ice cream ----it's was AWESOME!
And curious about Black Honey ice cream.

Cloud has a Question:
Is black honey = caramel??????

She only heard of black sugar, which is caramel.. honey got black one meh?!?

With Jen, then Chin who helped us to take the 1st pic~ there's 4 of us... so we take turns to be the photographer^^

Thanks LH for uploading photos and tagging me on FB so quickly..
Yeah! So i can blog abt this^^

--------------------------------------
Today, my next door neighbours moved out~
Best thing is: we didnt know till their potted plants & shoe racks placed outside the house went missing.
The housewife mother who's home most of the time didnt tell my mum leh..
We saw them throwing out some stuff previously, but who knows if it's spring cleaning or moving out..

All that separates our apartment is a small corridor for the staircase, but the distance b/n pple who live close to each other are often very wide..

Eg, how many pple actually know your neighbour's name? Have his/her contact no? Bothered to call out to him/her if u see them in the middle of Orchard Rd?

I wonder who's the next family/people moving in..
So far they were the noisiest.. Think: a family with 6 kids.. Includes 3 toddlers.. 1 pri sch.. 1 sec sch & 1 who dropped out of sec sch..
That explains why our front door is almost always shut.. One wouldnt fancy hearing baby cries/shouts/blabbering noises one too many times eh?

-----------------------------------
The 1st time i stood near the fence (metal horizontal bars) of TDS building, i wondered why they're so low.. It's useless. It's below my waist level.. Darn, which means if i suddenly back into the fence or lose balance and hit the fence, i may just topple over cos my centre of gravity is higher than the top of the fence.

BEST thing is: this place is 5 storeys high..
Major architectural design flaw in the midst of design school.
Champion sia!

So i am usually careful when i stand near the fence.. i'll grab hold of the top bar or sth and wouldnt walk too near it since the corridor isnt narrow. When given a choice, make the smart choice.. The path is wide~ Hehe..

Didnt give more thoughts on this issue until Yesterday~~~~

Jef's blackberry phone dropped from 5th storey down~
Yeah his beloved phone went skydiving from top storey to ground storey.. He went 'OMGomg OMG omgOMG' in a frantic high-pitched voice then ran down to get his phone.. Lucky he din roll down the stairs in that mad dash.
I didnt know wat happened then, i just thot whats up with this Al Jeffrey YH Kwon W this morning??? (oh yes, this guy's name is damn long -internal joke for those who know him)

Cause of whole incident: Butterfingers (quoting AJYHKW on his FB)
of course plus the low fence and walls of the corridor.
Gonna quote what he wrote on his blog.. Cos this step-by-step description's so rofl..
"1) Rushed to school for submission.
2) Classrooms and submission area at Level 5.
3) Pinned up my work.
4) Stepped back 2 steps to see the alignment.
5) SMS came in.
6) Reached out for it in my pocket.
7) Slipped from my hand.
8) Dropped on the floor.
9) Cover and battery came out.
10) Whole handset swung through the handrails.
11) Suay suay handrails got holes.
12) Handset went through the holes.
13) Handset landed on first floor.
14) Crashed.
15) Everyone went "OHMYGOD" when they saw my phone (including strangers)."

Sounds so dramatic or rather manga-ish~

Aftermath: Blackberry phone's so hardy, he could still make phonecalls & sms..
Just that qwerty keys began to light up at the same time aft the keypad fell out (Blackberry's NEW LOOK: Blackberry Torch Shining light)

I think the phone eventually died later in the day.. No surprise tho, even if the skydive bungee jump w/o the bungee rope didnt kill it, the torchlight keys would have depleted all its battery..

Drawing Essentials module is coming to an end soon!

It doesn't mean no more drawing tho... Heard fr the others that the next week's Ideation new module also have drawings to do... Hmm..
Okie.. Drawings wouldn't kill me.. I don't ace it either.. I think painting will~ I can't paint properly..
That module is 2D Art Fun... Helluva nice name eh? Wait till ur final submission is a gigantic (think bigger than A2 size) wooden board.. Hehs..

Let's think on the bright side, u get to look really artsy... by looking real busy while seated behind the big board perched on a wooden stand.. but in fact, u.. really am busy hard at work..

----

Today's class ~ quite slack.. suppose to spend the time fruitfully by coming out with more layouts for our final A2 size submission.. 1 grp of classmates entertain themselves by singing & dancing along songs and recording their own music video using Mac's photo booth..
While my grp (coincidentally Kpop lovers) entertain ourselves by watching kpop MVs & Live perfs..

In conclusion: design students love music


Oki, thats kinda crap~

LOOKALIKES
this is something i wan to blog since Week One..

There's some celebrity lookalikes ard in design school (honestly speaking, i havent been walking ard the school... hanging ard mostly in design school)

So here's paparazzi Cloud reporting directly fr tee peee design skool~

-I saw the young Fann Wong lookalike ard.. Still thinks she looks like Fann Wong aft seeing her several times.. the eyes, face, fair porcelain-like skin, long straight black hair.... Just that she's not that tall la.. (Cloud's trying to find some imperfection to make herself feel better hehs)


-TOP lookalikeS (there's 2 i think)
havent got a chance to see them YET
1 is Freshie, another's a Junior/Senior (Junior = Year 2)... EG saw the latter walk past during orientation, and the best part was he was wearing SHADES then! EG was practically spazzing in excitement when speaking of this (cos TOP looks really effin hot/cool/great/best when donning shades)


-Today Jeffrey told us there's a Jo Kwon (fr 2AM... forms the popular Adam couple with Ga-In in We Got Married) lookalike in the class next to ours, so 3/4 of us went to the corner of the classroom to peep (we were damn obvious can?)
FYI, our 'classrooms' dun've walls.. it's just 4 classes in 1 design studio... with boxes stacked up & whiteboards separating each class..
we will somehow know what's happening in e adjacent class..

After peeping while he was busy painting his gigantic board, i dun think he noticed us?? xP
*nodnods* side profile face looks like cuter version of Jo Kwon (^.^)


-Next next class has a SHINee member lookalike (or so some pple think)
not me tho.. i only agree on the hairstyle similarity~~

he's alrdy got a 'fan'
his classmate (every1 in his class thinks she's the weird type of girl) expressed her interest in him.. saying 'i think u look like a SHINee member, can i touch your hair?'
he freaked out & ran off..
major FAIL love confession..

saw him today~ he's talking abt that girl again (me caught only bits of the convo ---cos he's talking to my fren Teh Peng not me aha) saying he's the victim.. blahblah.. scared of her..
hmmmmm.. did she harass him? stalk him? freak him out with new antics?
shall find out when i've time or when i'm in the kaypoh mood~


-2 Jang Geun Seok lookalikes.. 1 freshie, 1 graduated..
Teh Peng & EG saw & liked the 1 who graduated.. i didnt get to see.. only saw bei4 ying3 =x.. was waiting for him to turn while in DES canteen.. but he was too busy chatting to turn his head..

just added that freshie on FB (oki, i admit it.. added him to see photos) coincidentally his name sounded kinda korean~
but he didnt upload many photos *disappointed* & with 100+ friends only.. frens didnt tag him in photos too?
whatever it is.. he does resemble Jang Geun Seok fr certain angle~ he beg to differ tho.. so i wan to see in person whether he looks like Jang~

btw those who dun know that Korean actor.. he's appearing regularly on Channel U (every week night kuai4 dao1 Hong Ji Tong 1130pm drama) plus snippet of him saying sth like this in gd english (yes, im surprised) 'Hi I'm Jang Geun Seok, you're watching Channel U, the entertainment channel.' which keeps replaying these few weeks..
brillant english + awesome eyeliner + unique smile.. he totally rocks that eyeliner look!!

well, i havent stared at the tv screen and scrutinised a Ch U commercial in a 'decade' or so~ certainly enjoying it =p
as much as i enjoy watching e commercial for Big Bang's latest album (forgot which chinese channel) ---oki, randomness.. goes to show that my mind's all filled with korean stuff (all except korean language wtf i still cant understand/comprehend the complex Korean)..
even sth random i come up with hail fr that country~

I hope there's more lookalike reports coming up!

End of Paparazzi report in tee pee dee zye skool ~

Been online for 4hrs.. havent done my research for layout ideas picture references..
Congratulations! Cloud has to stay up late tonight~
AGAIN.

Procrastination is a killer.

She's into 2nd week in TDS (thats TP Design School's short form)

To be exact, she's moving into 3rd week of school next week~ Time flies..
It's such a brilliant feeling to be learning design/drawing... Doing vastly different stuff fr students continuing the boring route of rote-learning in junior colleges..

Why wasn't I enlightened enough to choose this creative route when i was 16????
That would've saved me a HELLUVA PRECIOUS TIME & YOUTH..
So gawd damn.. i was this 16 year old who just followed the flow and went to a top college.. and i think none fr my sec sch class went to a polytechnic..
So it just didnt cross my mind to explore other options..
Stupidity of a Sixteen year old girl~

Anw, now that i'm older & wiser.. I hope can do well in an area when i'm passionate in..
In another sense, it's the only thing that i wanna do now~
By Elimination Method --gawd, i sound like i'm preaching abt Maths
oki..
I can't take Science & Engineering courses cos my Maths ability is below Sea (C) level.
I can't possibly enter IT school cos my IT skills arent as gd as i desire them to be.
I get bored by Business courses subjects v easily cos of the theoretical stuff. I pay to sleep during lectures. Not a gd sign for gd grades.
I don't want to take Humanities courses cos i think there isnt gd job prospects.. Is there room for geologists and historians in S'pore? Economists, def yes... But Econs at higher level consists of complex mathematical formulas that looks like a maze to me.
I decided not to confuse myself further by pursuing them tho my JC's Econs isnt too bad..

Now, THINK
What's left?
Design School

Wahahaha.. TDS seems like a brainless choice now~

This weekend, i've to do a Landscape sketch rendered on A3 paper..
Where to find scenic landscapes with beautiful mountain slopes, green green grasslands & beautiful skies?
Lol..
Thats like the typical landscape picture or drawing that comes to mind when u say 'Landscape Drawing'

Maybe draw S'pore River -- i like those shophouses lining the river outside Central..
and cos i'll be near that area tmr.. can pop by to get ideas

Maybe the Pasir Ris beach..
and cos it's near my house.. i can just cycle there to enjoy the sea breeze..

Maybe maybe..
Whatever it is, it has to be & IT WILL BE completed b4 Tuesday noon..

Bless me!~
