Assignment 1 my resource bank is as big as an ant hole. despite the fact that i dream every night, none was vivid enough for me to record down. but before i could begin constructing my ideas, I was told during lecture that I need two words, one that represents something I love and the other which I hate. I sat down thinking hard. I want to jump away from the norm. I tried " I love mushrooms" but was stucked badly by the difficulty in drawing them. So I went online and started looking for pictures of mushrooms as a guideline. Still, even though I have so many pictures of mushrooms, it did not help. I managed to come up with one average looking design. *inserts 'wrong answer' sound* i tried Olympics too. *inserts 'wrong answer' sound* I need other words. I know I need to open my eyes and observe. One day, while I was still vexing of what to draw, it started to rain. Umbrellas were opened up as the heavy clouds gathered in a gang. Friends who got drenched together seemed to be happier than those with umbrellas. Instantly, it reminds me of the days when I used to play in the rain and the fond memories put a smile to my face as i reminisce. Like how the female lead in TV dramas love to say," Rain can washes off all my pain." So, I've got it. Happiness. My name is Ser and I love happiness. *** Below are 4 scenarios where I'm happy. 1) cliche as it may sounds, rain washes away my tears. Or at least, camouflage them.  thumbnail 1 2) what is happiness without your family, relative and friends by your side? my shelter hasn't changed for the past 20 years. i grew up in a neighbourhood where my most of my primary and secondary school classmates stay near me. naturally, we created so much fond memories together in this community. the place where i live, is the place where happiness began.
thumbnail 2 3) Olympics- a highly discussed subject among my peers for the past weeks. while i was on my way to school, I caught the live telecast of gymnastics on SBS. When China won the gold medal, i though that I was at the stadium witnessing the whole event. I could almost feel China's players euphoria as they punch the air in victory. So much hard work and time had been put in. They truly deserve the gold. I was so moved and happy for them, I teared on the bus.
thumbnail 3 4) When life becomes so pack, all it takes is just one day of peaceful rest to rejuvenate my body. A lazy afternoon that allows me not to do anything but rest. =)
thumbnail 4 *** HATE - is a strong word that I hate. I hate it when things go wrong and people resort to violence. I hate it when people get injured, whether its physical or emotional because of that. I hate it when a simple problem became complex when irreversible moves are taken. I hate violence. 1) words can be so beautiful it became a poem. at the same time, words can hurt us. sprouting vulgarities may seem alright but it is actully an hidden/invisible weapon which can cause damage that is greater than the sharpest knife.
thumbnail 1 2) War is the time when violence scenes are the most prevalent. A sea of dead bodies. Somehow, the dead bodies look at ants to me. ><
thumbnail 2 3) When bombs are dropped, it set buildings and houses on fire. Fumes billowing out of the window create a cloud in the sky.
thumbnail 3 4) A knife can be helpful to us yet it can also be so deadly. It is only when harm is caused and blood starts to drip down do we know that knife has become a weapon for violence.  thumbnail 4 *** During the tutorial sessions, I've learnt something new. Inspirations don't come as and when you like. For me, it was so difficult to start drawing something. However, the most difficult part isn't drawing the first line. Instead, not knowing when to stop drawing/editing is actually more problematic. Food for thought. |
