Lets see...what can I write about? Over this past week I had alot of things I wanted to blog about, but I never had the time to get down to it and now all the inspiration has flown away...
Like the many opportunities that come your way, but if you don't grab them while they're there, they just fade away into oblivion.
Today was ARTs day. I thought it was really good. I went for a total of 3 talks.
1) Lawyer Dance: about this top Harvard law student who does classical indian dance. a lawyer by day and a dancer by night ;) That is really super zai. Her work is really beautiful. She quite her job to go to India to learn more about dance, and we could tell that it was really an enriching experience for her. I thought she could have injected more life into her voice though. She only came alive after she danced for us to a song by Madonna. Before that she kept saying how much fun she had, how excited she was about her work, but her voice was really dead. I also don't really agree with her ideal that you work to persue your passion. I feel that if you're really passionate about something, it can become your work. And in any case, even if that cannot happen, you should still have a good mindset towards your work and not treat it as something to support your hobby.
2) A talk by one of the founders of Kinetic. This advertising company. They have a really cool website.
www.kinetic.com.sg I think their company philosophy and concepts are very interesting. Its really creative and out of the box. They should do a project for MOE! moe needs more interesting ways of projecting their campaigns! Go look at some of their works and you'll know what I mean. Man, I wanna work in that company! Good work good fun :D
3) Went for the short film thingie which my dear mortal was ic of ;) They were screening Wee Li Lin's flims. I thought her films were pretty interesting. All of them have very unique endings. Unique as in unique from all the normal endings. Not your typical film endings...hers kinda leaves this hanging, and you'll have to think for a while. My favourite was "Autograph Book". Everyone who went to Primary School in Singapore or have treasured friends should watch that. That woman is pretty talented, and she's a nice lady too ;) Maybe I'll be inspired actually get down to making my own films after dreaming and talking about them so much with my CCC? haha
The rest of arts day was really cool too. I never knew there was such a talented manga artist in one of our teachers. Also arts club displayed some really cool art. I was a bit paiseh to ask, but if those works displayed had price tags on them I'd have bought one. Also there was the SAF pop band, there was this balloon making and fire eating fellow...some other rock bands...overall the whole thing was really cool!
But in the afternoon was the Dr Fatimah Lateef talk which was not so cool. Its not cool when your guest arrives early, your teachers have to go entertain her, you see a super low turn out and have to run around to school begging and dragging people to come for the talk so it doesn't look too bad. In the end it was just alright. The talk was pretty interesting though. And in the end, all the questions were from moi! Sigh...lol
And to spoil my afternoon even more! 我那个德文老师！不知道他发什么神经啦！上个星期作弄了他，只不过试电了电他吗！他说不好玩，我道了谦，他说没关系。那就应该结束了吗！他却跟院长报告！所以我今天下午要去见院长。辛亏她了解，没什么事。可是我真不明白他发了什么神静啊！好不服哦！
Alright, so that was my day.
I need to start mugging :D
And doing the blasted coursework.
And start blogging about nice things!
