heaven can wait

here it is! the newest single from charlotte gainsbourg featuring beck called heaven can wait. lovely shots, a lot of cool scenes. my personal favourites are: a man running with an axe thrown at him, charlotte's face when she said 'what you need' at 1:35, a woman (or a man) looking in the mirror and the reflection is the back of his head instead of his face,beck with 2 men, and the last shot.
tell me whats your favourite scenes! :)

oh boy, Beck cut his hairs! my god can you believe this guy is in his 40s? i love beck!! and i like charlotte in this video, although i like her without the black eye liner, but i prefer this look on her face.
Keith Scofield is the director. i just love this song + the music video
enjoy

muji + lego

The Japanese retail brand Muji and Lego teamed up to develop a set of 4 different boxes. Inside those boxes you’ll find the classic Lego bricks but also a few sheets of paper AND punch hole tool too, so you can create something new. I think this is a very well combination of lego and muji, with the sheets of paper (which is very japanese) and the lego bricks you can create something new and not all pixelated and square-ish toy :)

found at today and tommorow

Anyway, Kenya Hara which is the art director of Muji came to Lasalle a week ago to give lecture, sadly i couldn't attend because the next day was my assessment..(and i haven't complete some of the things that need to be done!)

air - sing sang sung

from their new album Love 2

video made by the French directors Petra Mrkyz & Jean-François Moriceau
(the screen doesn't move sideways in the actual video)

lyrics:
You are such a workaholic boy
That you kill everybody's joy
Fill your head with some time to lose
With some time to lose

Sing sang sung sing me a song
Do did done don't be so down
Ring rang rung give me a ring
Please please please don't be so long

What are we doing here my friend ?
Take a breath push your pain away
Nothing lasts it's better that way
It's better that way

Sing sang sung sing me a song
Do did done don't be so down
Ring rang rung give me a ring
Please please please don't be so long

friday the 13th

i'm a coward. it was my last day in school, i saw him and wanted to take pictures with him, but he was with his friends, i chickened out. he left with his friends. my friends said wasted. i had a bad mood. then i ate chicken wings and slept at the balcony with my friends and it was fun :)

i just adore him :') hahaha
juli let's go to school bring my camera and hunt him down before i go back home, huuuuhuuu *desperate

anyway, saw this in front of my school

we chickened out, eh?

typo

my typo sculpture, actual thing hanging
using transparency, aluminium tape, black vinyl tape, acrylic paint, nylon string

i hope it's readable

collage II.are mokkelbost

so this is the 1st collage looks like. i prefer the first stage without the additional collage.. lecturer wants me to do more about technical, process stuff rather than to achieve the final look for the collage.

so i made this instead, the picture on the left is the collage, and the right picture is the back of the collage

feel free to comment or critique

btw, i want to post a bit about Are Mokkelbost, he made these:

‘ion - omni, no. 09’ (paper collage) 2007-2008


ion - omni, no. 07’ (paper collage) 2005-2008

and yes, these are collages. he collects small scraps of paper from
magazines and slowly builds them into large scale artworks. and it took years to make one artwork. i think it's pain in the ass, but totally worth it. totally.

halloween?

i am disappointed. today was my first Halloween party, i dressed up as a mad scientist, i was all excited and all, and then i came to school to find out only a few people dressed up (and mostly comm d students) and like nothing's happening, we look like lost kids. there's a dj playing at 15 minutes, but yeah i think people were more interested with foods. he played nice tunes though..
so yeah, not what i expected, but i had fun dressing up as a mad-scientist-wannabe, i had fake blood in my neck as well, hahaha
me and juli were excited, she styled my hair and we hunt for fake blood and nerd specs and slippers for her.. anywaaay here are some pictures! :D

me and jessica finna, her boots was i don't know how many cm thick, but it's HUGE. it's so huge you can kill someone (or a cockroach) with that thing. i should've take pics of her boots..

mad scientist + charlie chaplin. denny was so cute with the charlie chaplin costume. and thank you for accompany me looking for white coat that i pay $10 less from the original price, due to human error and my mad scientist instinct. run denny ruunnn! haha! :p

yes, nowadays, even charlie chaplin is crazy about twilight, everyone want to suck blood
(i'm not a fan though, a vampire that sparkles is just too weird or gay)

me and juli! she only wear pajamas to school with super nerd specs and slippers, and it turned out very nice!

this is.. i don't know. i just feel like doing kung fu moves in the elevator,haha!

colin dressed up as a.. yes it's a pencil alright, oh and a vampire as well, haha
they look nice here :)


a penmpire (vampire + pencil..)

15 minutes. seeee nobody dressed up! :s

yat with nerd specs and lyssa's pink wig. it's a weird combination, yet it suits him haha!

juli and i-don't-know-who but he has nice style and he's in fine art level 2. look more like a fashion student eh? same specs as juli! nice! hahaha



lyssa, juli, me. desperate faces

anyway, it was fun for awhile and boring all the way. but we went somewhere else. me yat juli and gun went to ecp :) i need to sleep.. tireeed!

happy halloween everyone! :D

the faber popular reciter

1st try

final (please click the image)

my book cover version for an old book, the faber popular reciter. it took me one whole day to make the typo, (well the day before i score the typo, so total 2 days) and my neck and my back hurt so bad! my lecturer was impressed by the cutting but that's all. :| he wanted me to do the other design, but i just want to add a thin line in between.. sorry for the crappy pics :|

ooh btw yesterday me yat juli shermaine and 2 stephanies stay back for awhile to help colin's friend cut a bunch of colorful cards for idle zoo and she paid us plus we got free burgers,yay! :D (colin is our dear lecturer who wear my bowler hat and dance and then he told me that im 100 years late to wear a bowler hat and in wrong country as well.. but that's ok..he's still a cool lecturer.. i think he likes my bowler hat, i think he wants a bowler hat as well, hmmm.. haha!)

15 minutes.

eating + doing works(kinda) in my campus restaurant/bar called 15 minutes with my friend, and the exchange student that performed at the welcome party performed again(he's the one sitting), but this time with his friend. i wished he performed solo, hahaha oh well, enjoy the video, sorry about the visual, i was too scared to record the performance because it's so obvious (there's a red light sign if my phone is recording).
my friend didn't know i was recording so yea.. you can hear her talking. :(



nice improv :)

studio.paper heart

today for design studio, we did blind drawing and a hybrid of fruits + we meditate! it's my first time to do meditation before drawing, and it's quite relaxing actually, i really enjoyed it. we took our shoes off and (in a standing position) relaxed our body, closed our eyes and took deep breathes, and.. you know, get all the bad energy out ;D oh and we have a guest lecturer coming from Berlin to see us , me and 2 of my friends had a chat with him during the break and he's really nice and friendly :)

i just watched paper heart! such a sweet, quirky movie! i love the ending and love the actors too, charlyne is just funny and talented and michael cera is adorable :)

few weeks ago, me and juli went to china town to take pictures, and then we went to ann siang hill road, and went to this little book store called books actually. and i love it! it's like i just wanna stay there, hehe
it's a small independent book store, but the place is very cozy and got that nice books smell (if you know what i mean..) i just love that place so much, i take picture with the sign board (lebay)

deerhunter - never stops

nick drake

just discovered his music, and it's just beautiful..
nick drake wrote deep lyrics played beautiful tunes with his guitar but he was not popular back then. he only recorded 3 albums because he suffered from depression and insomnia throughout his life and died at the age of 26 from an overdose of amitriptyline, a prescribed antidepressant. i kind of sad because he was a talented young man and he only made 3 albums during his life, but at the same time, i kinda happy for him

'now we rise, and we are everywhere
and now we rise from the ground'
nick drake (1948-1974)

Charlotte Gainsbourg + Beck =

Charlotte Gainsbourg. i know her only as an actress who played Stéphanie in Science of Sleep, but now i know that she has already released her 'debut' album 5:55 in 2006 (she once recorded an album back when she was 13) and now is working on her second album with Beck! I can't wait to hear her new album, hope it'll turn out great :D







This is a song from Charlotte's debut album called The songs that we sing. Jarvis Cocker, Air and The divine comedy also collaborated with her and Beck's father David Campbell composed the string arrangements. nice songs! see her my space here.

jarvis.tdr

yesterday i was doing a research about the designers republic, i was looking at their works and i found out that they're the one who made a logo design for pulp and jarvis cocker's solo album. after awhile, i lost my focus and research about jarvis instead of tdr :| haha btw tdr closed on january 2009 :( i hope they'll make a come back soon


this is jarvis solo album, the song called don't let him waste your time. nice video.

bad weather = bad day

today me and juli had a plan to do photo shoot for our photography class, so we decided to meet at sommerset station. i was there but juli wasn't there yet, because.. well she overslept, hahaha! so i waited for her at the skate park and then i saw these 2 adorable kids! they're so cute!i usually not into kids, but these two are just too adorable :) their big brothers and sister were playing skate board and these two just play with each other, they speak France so i thought they're on holiday but when i ask them they said they were born in Singapore.

:)

when i took picture of them the boy excitedly scream, "silly faaaaceeee!"

look at those eyes!

juli came and we went to this old hotel to do photo shoot, we got there,

the old hotel

but juli had to go to the bathroom, like ASAP! so after she finished whatever she was doing, i had lunch, planning to do some shoots after i had my lunch, but then.. it started pouring..hard.. we can't do photoshoot with that weather because the assignment has to do with sunlight. We went to orchard central, play guitar hero for awhile, went back home but it was still raining and i didnt bring umbrella so i'm wet.. i went home, and realized.. noone's home, i didn't bring the key, i can't get inside my apartment.
luckily my housemate went home (by taxi!) so she can open the door for me :p

tired..
