taiwan update, singapore photos:sentosa

I feel like i haven't updated my blog for ages. but really, it has only been a week and one day. I spent my past week doing labor work - i'm not even joking. If you read my previous post, you would know I am currently in Taiwan, learning art from a renowned artist/fashion designer/architect, who is also one of my mum's friend (whom i call uncle). During my stay here at uncle's place, I was introduced a new form of media - mud art. I have no idea what the technical term of this technique is called (that was a lot of 't's, haha), but basically, what you do is carve on different shapes of varying heights on the mud, and then pouring in a layer of cement on top. After the cement is fully hardened and taken out, the face of the cement will result in a reversed version (flipped, and 3D) of your design.

I am pretty sure the above makes no sense of all. I would love to show you photos of the mud art-making process, however, because I was so engrossed in carving my designs, I completely neglected the thought of taking photos. I regret it, I really do. I should have taken the photos not only for the sake of this blog, but for personal references in the future. Sigh... :( Guys (and girls), bring your cameras along with you wherever you go, and take as many photos as you can, so you will not become a regretful butt like me < :D.

** I will be uploading photos of my final mud artwork when I am back in Hong Kong. (not to be confused, I took photos of the final product, not the process of making it.)


Let's go off tangent for a bit. As I promised in previous posts, here are some photos I took in Sentosa, Singapore. (note: I deliberately picked these photos).

Sentosa


Universal Studios

i haven't had churros for years. it was welcoming to my taste buds, haha :)

iFly - it was SO MUCH FUN. seriously, you will never regret this experience :D

if you zoom in my face, i look kinda retarded. :P


i'm a big butt (pun intended, ahhahha) :D

today is my last night at the uncle's house. can't wait to go back to taipei and shop.eat.shop.eat. the entire day.  :)

back from singapore. packing for taiwan.

time really does fly when you are having fun.

-

there are so many things i miss about singapore;
. eating Mexican food
. drinking Starbucks every other day
. the roller coasters and 3D rides at Universal Studios
. flying :D (what i really mean is iFly in Sentosa)
. being kissed by the sun
. wearing flip flops every wear i go
. the hotel
. watching the olympics and staying up late
. no worries
. not wanting to leave ;(

i would love to go back to singapore. it is such a beautiful and friendly country, similar to hong kong (except for the friendly part, as some hong kongers are extremely impolite. not all, but some (truth: most actually))

let's get back on tangent. i will be heading off to taiwan tomorrow. CRAZY, I KNOW! the day i come back from a vacation, I'm off to somewhere else to study art. Don't get me wrong, i love art, but this is a perfect example of horrible holiday planning. i have no idea what on earth my parents were thinking, seriously.

airplane tickets are booked. my stay is also confirmed. there is nothing i can do, but to live my life like there is no tomorrow! #this_is_it (charlotte, if you remember, 'this is it' was one of the keys we learnt at supercamp!)

_

although i am still tired from shopping this morning and the afternoon flight, i am pretty excited about my trip to taiwan. this artist is a lot like me. he is meticulous with his hands; he enjoys doing things out of the norms, and he crafts, just like me, but the guy-version. of course, he is much more experienced than i am, given our 50 years difference.

and he is not a pedo.




(of course not, ahhaha)

*singapore photos will be up in the next few days!
