Ice Scream...

For those of you who left early today(20th), you must know that you missed out on certain details. So I have listed a couple of quickies(*Coughs* ...Mind the pun). On top of that, you all have also missed out on an awesome class activity(well, sort of). After lunch, Team Hitler and Rothko(at least half of us anyway) joined forces in dominating the Sunway Ice Skating Ring. Yes, you heard us right! We freaking dominated it!! Team members were strategically placed below the stairs leading to the entrance of the Ring. The operation began with a simple gesture of hand waving and mild shouts. Almost minutes later, shouts tuned up and hand waving doubled! By the time David arrived, he turned the entire entourage into a mass campaign of endless sign-postings and finger displays (in as many positions as possible).

Not only were we stared at,laughed at and taunted at...we were actually admired by many onlookers( or so we've been told ). Eventually we entered the Ring at half past four in the evening. We literally set the ice on fire with our endless taunts,screams and harressments. No, really...someone mentioned about Ting breaking the Pyramid's Annual Screaming Competition without an audition. Plus, we've uncovered a brand new talent in ice skating. Our very own 'photocopier', Danny, cut throught the ice with a breeze with absolutely no help from our more experienced skater, Bryan A.K.A Mr. Sweeeet. Whereas, Ting,Mich and Zhengster, who were our rookie skaters of the week has been promoted to the rank of junior. All in all, it was a smashing activity. Remember how I mentioned we were admired...well, we had some girls from Asunta(if I remember correctly) whom we befriended and who dedicated two songs to us through the DJ booth. Reason being, having the bloody guts to launch an assault campaign against fellow skaters. Oh alright...to be honest, we were on a campaign against fashion criminals and were on a look out for cute kids we can feast our eyes upon. *Looks up* Did I hear someone cough 'pedophilia' at the back? (New jargon? Refer to our class pedophile, Ting, and ask for more info)

Still, here are the quickies as promised...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick Reminders:

( 1-) FA class on Thursday@10am(correct me if this is misinformed)
(2-) Skating activity after class
(3-) Pasar Malam Outing@ SS2
(4-) 4 more Figures for Figure Class+bring drawing board & art block

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Till the next post...take care of your cutter and leads, make sure you do your redos!

cheers,

Hail Hitler!!

If you haven't noticed by now, our class DOMINATES...and I 'mean' dominates!! Look at every single class that we have combined with the rest, no one whacks as hard, parties as much, attracts as much attention. Sometimes I think we're just so 'full' of ourselves(in a good way, of course). The classes would be so boring without us, wouldn't it? I love my class, don't you? (Yes, I hear rather obvious coughs and sounds of violent vomit in the background somewhere) But no, I mean...seriously. We are one hell of a cool class. Our lecturers love us oh so much, they give us more work than any other class! Doesn't that just bring a tear to your eye? *smirks and puts her feet up* Anyways, it seems that out plans for a t-shirt is well under way. David, Danny and myself came up with a concept and we will be presenting it as soon as we're up with a design for it. As always, we welcome all ideas, suggestions, volunteering AND donations to this class project.

Hitler group did our class proud...once again! They stole the heart and compassion of our beloved History teacher, Hooi Chiat by giving a wonderful presentation about women's rights. Am awed in amusement myself, it was altogether great. Just in case you don't know, we are having our mid-term test the week after exploration week for History class. So dust off those notes and start collecting research papers, we are allowed to bring in references so choose your weapons of mass destruction wisely. If you do come across some interesting references, be sure to share them with thy friends. As Rin always says, 'Sharing Is Caring!'.

I'm sure most have you have read your emails and are probably confused about when we should hand in our assignments for finished art. Well, I say we should all hand it in next week. All in favour of the motion, SCREAM 'Aye!'. "Aaaaaaaaayyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeee.........!! " I must remind all ye faithful classmates, should you try to be a smart-arse by handing it in earlier, WE WILL BURY YOU ALIVE! When I say 'we', I mean the whole class will be at war with you (cold war that is...too young to remember? Look under 'Cold War' in Wikipedia) Though I cannot speak for the class, I will speaketh for my myself. I WILL come after you!! There is NO class tomorrow, so put all your feet up and relax for a while(before you bugger off to do your figures). Till then, take care of your leads and make sure you say 'Aye!'...

cheers with love for Hoegaarden(&Stella&Boddingtons&Guinness),

Le Erotica...

So it's been another week. Another week of endless classes/drawings/finished *bleeding* art/design. The interesting thing about this week is that we had a day off (a much awaited day) inbetween and most of us, I believe, rested well enough. Before that it was film night after communication skills class, we all watched 'Mona Lisa Smile'. I don't know about the rest of the class, but it was the second time I've seen it. As always, there are new 'A-ha's every time I watch a new film. For example, all paintings used in the film are similar to the ones Hooi Chiat(our history of art and design lecturer) uses in class. Plus, James made an interesting discovery that Tori Amos who was in the film, I can't believe I didn't see that before. Oh humble me... Still, it's no wonder she wanted us to watch this film, it may or may not reminds her of herself and us of ourselves(although I doubt that half of the class actually knows before-hand what we're studying anyway). By the end of the film, she had lost half of the class (which was combined with batch 06'aug-two).

Later, we had a very interesting gathering night. Well, it was weird and exciting in a way. Most of us never really hung out or had meals together during our ordinary hours, yet here we are hours later daring each other to eat super spicy taiwanese sausages. Wild, we were... this time I have the pictures to prove it...







Yam Char Mafioso!
















Bryan feeds his kids...











Next we have the erotica series...













Chen's blow job day...




































Blackened out by request.
Though we know who it obviously is!












Yes boys...
be VERY afraid!!
I BITE!!















So there goes our little monday night out session!

Carpe diem...!

Lordy...a month already?! Where the fcuk did all that time go? I sure haven't seen any signs of it. I hear that bleeding phrase again...'time sure flies!', yeah...'whateva...'. Of course I know we will not last any more than 7 months from now, but heck, why shouldn't we feel like a family? We're so (quote & quote) family that we make ourselves sick! Well it's not exactly how I'd describe it but I think you have a rough understanding of where I'm getting to. Still, class T-shirt, a class band, a class drama team... why should we even bother? But, oh yes...the 'big' but, the question here (my faithful elementary minds) is ..."Why shouldn't we?!"

Spending 7 months together is more than enough to form a bloody government to serve a whole nation! I know a number of countries who fought war after war for ages, only to form a government in a week after victory! So come on, all ye inspiring minds of the future!! Ask not of what the class can you for you, but what you can do for the class! So go on! Form the bloody band! Make the freaking T-shirt! For gawd sakes, go for bleeding acting classes if you need to. In all that you do, remember that you are contributing not only to the class but also to yourself. Every inch of improvement you make, marks a new threshold of greatness and propels you to a higher level of enlightenment and inspiration!

What are you waiting for?! For your putty erasers to turn into stones?! Move that arse of yours and get yourself involved! Every contribution, no matter the size, is for highly worshipped! Choose wisely, young jedi-ish minds...the force is strong with all of you. Make a choice, change your purpose in life and get involved! You have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

cheers,

A Mid-Autumn's bittersweet night...

Dreadful...dreadful indeed, mid-autumn festivals have never been my cup of tea. Nevertheless, being freshmen in TOA we faithfully comply with the demands and orders of the SSD to attend and participate the event. The fact that it was conveniently placed below the auditorium and scheduled just after class ends, makes it almost impossible to NOT stop and be curious about what goes around. A sketch was in session, with barely audible chinese lines and muffled giggles from the audience; oh the wonders of spontaneous performance...or so it seems (to me personally). There were more spectators than they expected, the crowd spilled away from A1 and A2. The corridors and stairs were used as feeble attempts to catch a glimpse of the stage. I would love to say what I think of the acts (personally of course), for the benefit of our class blog and TOA, I shall keep my opinions to myself. Although it was not bad, it was nowhere near comprehendible..I guess it was good for a laugh.

The next act comes up. A band...for the love of the heavens above, a bleeding band! Yes, the music snob is back! I hate being this way but I am that I am...music snob I shall becometh, Bryan would agree. Again, I keep my opinions to myself...but the overall rating for the band is 2/10. For one, the choice of songs are rather awkward. A new single paired with some cheesy chinese number , ending with a classic Cranberries track is a SURE formula for a disasterous performance. Of course the masses will not realise this, (when have they ever realised it). Yes, yes...Chris is being an annoying bitch! When have I never been one... LOL. On the bright side, I have been told that our classmates have been wearing the class name with pride, or so to speak. Byran and Chen has apparently solved some rather nerve wrecking riddles and obtained some prizes as well...whereas, David , Mich and Ting took part in the mooncake design competition. Rin also mentioned a class act...whatever it may be. Will dig for more info, actualy Rin has offered to retell the tale when in the coming newsletter so be sure to check you mailboxes often. The easier way (of course) is to just run up to the gang and ask them what happened the night before. So choose your path, young minds....may the path you choose enlighten your curious minds.

Cometh thy light

Another rather ordinary day on a Wednesday morning. The class of batch 06'aug-one are doing their usual stuff, doing touch ups, getting ready for class. For some reason, Debbie's class causes more stress for us than any other lecturer's...('cept for Mr.Ari, he gets on everyone's bloody nerves, or maybe it's just me and Rin's ) At the half pass 9 exactly, class starts...ten minutes into the class, the lights go out...everyone gasps!! TCB lah...TCB! (*Total Class Blackout!)

The door opens with a slight push, a birthday cake arrives at the scene. Our Scottie boy bangs his head on the table screaming (Wah Lao eh!) in his mind. Mich and Dave starts singing the birthday song and the lights come on. Within seconds, the class joins in unison...the cake pops up in front of Scottie's face, with saliva's flying and aircon blowing...the candles go out, only to be embraced with loud cheers and hand claps! Our ol' chap has turned 18 and is officially a woman..ehem..*coughs..., a man!

It wasn't until later in the day we found out that this was also Debbie's last class with us. Oh well...tho' we've cursed and sworn to our hearts' content, we all agree that Debbie's our first and best finished art lecturer to date. Which leaves us to wonder how the 'other' lecturer's going to be like. Rin suggested protests and demonstrations, outside of TOA. I seconded but I guess we shouldn't steal the thunder from the graduating class busy selling kuih-muih, spagetti and over-priced cheese tarts and all. (Whichever it may be) Who knows, we might end up doing the same damn thing. No offense but why food? Aren't art students suppose to do something artsy and outstanding? (OK too much personal opinions...class blog afterall)

Pictures are to be posted ...as soon as Mr. Sweeeet finds the time to email them to me...till then...be nice and take good care of your cutter sharped leads!

cheers,
