John: Be careful Melinda.
Mel : ??
John: Your fingers. The rate you're going, your skin is gonna get thinner. It'll be really sore.
Mel : Ok!

".......Apparently, his words fall on deaf ears"

And, guess what..... YES, it hurt badly :(
SERVE ME RIGHT!

Suria- *maybe i didnt get his name right*, but anyway, he's our T.A for litho modules. Pretty funny and out going guy. Helpful indeed. Went for a coffee break with dash and i jokingly said to her

Mel : We've got a new T.A. He's an eye candy.
Dash: Be careful
Mel : Well, eye candy wont kill
Dash: Nahz, im saying we have got lots of gays in our school of art esp. Some who looks like one- may not be one. Those who doesnt look like one are often one.
Mel : Hahahahhaha.....! I get where you're coming from. But..... he's got a ear piercing on his left ear. Apparently, he's straight! Even if he isn't, it doesn't bother me anyway.


Been coping myself in school, busy with projects. I need a LONG break after assessment. Alvin is leaving for Melbourne this come friday. He wouldnt be around for the weekends. Aww........... I need to head to bed soon!

Night, All!

As time goes by, everything just seems to get blurry. The lack of effort to text and call, to communicate only faster the process of taking one another out of our lives. Every hour, every min and every sec passed each day without much interaction just seem easier and easier to move away from what first seem to be precious and loving. Thats how it has become and if i were to be asked " Why did it turn out this way?" My answer would be " I've hoped as well as waited for too long." Someone once told me, we can only hope but we cant request nor asked for things.



When one hopes for too long, the strength to carry on will just diminish as time goes by. But whatever the case is, there are other things out there that deserve so much more than anything. so guys, below is a quote from Oscar Wilde:

“What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise”

WOMAN as an OBJECT

Porn has a distinctly male viewpoint. It's about what looks good, to men, which is understandable when you consider it's mainly men who are watching it and they only have a window of 20 minutes to watch it in (which isn't always conducive to female orgasms). But then, is the reason only men watch it aided by the fact that women are rarely anything but objects? For women, the turn on comes from other things, other places. You rarely get a good view unless there's a mirror involved, which let's face it, only really happens in hotel rooms, and our idea of a good view may be a little different.


It then questions:
If you're not the SUBJECT, aren't you the OBJECT then?

Men/ Mind/ Culture

Women/ Body/ Nature

Saatchi's masterstroke
This could be the biggest art news story of the year - Charles Saatchi, the man who has been at the helm of modern British art for over two decades and single-handedly wrangled some of the best talents in the nation, has just announced he is handing the reigns over to us, the British public.

Housed in the Duke of York HQ off the Kings Road, the 70,000ft Saatchi Gallery and its 200 plus works of art will be known as the Museum of Contemporary Art London, once Saatchi retires. Among the works (estimated to be worth £25m) are pieces from GQ's Feng Shui editor Tracey Emin, the Chapman Brothers, Grayson Perry and artwork from Saatchi's recent exhibits of Indian and Chinese art. The move promises to leave the nation unburdened from costs, with the museum continuing to foot the bill. While the Tate Modern, Saatchi's main rival, is busy cleaning up its public image after demonstrators dumped oil outside the South Bank gallery in protest over its BP affiliations, the creation of MOCA London might mark a new age of British art.

I'll Make Love To You

Close your eyes, make a wish
And blow out the candlelight
For tonight is just your night
We're gona celebrate, all thru the night
Pour the wine, light the fire
Girl your wish is my command
I submit to your demands
I'll do anything, girl you need only ask

I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
'Till you tell me to

Girl relax, let's go slow
I ain't got nowhere to go
I'm just gonna concentrate on you
Girl are you ready, it's gonna be a long night
Throw your clothes on the floor
I'm gonna take my clothes off too
I made plans to be with you
Girl whatever you ask me, you know, I'll do

Baby tonight is your night
And I will do you right
Just make a wish on your night
Anything that you ask
I will give you the love of your life

I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
'Till you tell me to


It was beautiful. You seem so right, but i could be wrong. But i intend to hold you for the longest time.

ART Info- SAM

FX Harsono - one of Indonesia's foremost contemporary artists - is the latest to be featured at the Singapore Art Museum (SAM).

Spanning four decades, Harsono's works speak of the changes and upheavals in Indonesian politics, society and culture.

A walk through Harsono's first exhibition in Singapore is like looking at a slice of Indonesian history and politics.

The 61-year-old fought as hard as his passion would take him, assembling the works in the face of fierce opposition from Indonesian authorities and scepticism from art critics.

"They said, 'this is not art, this is rubbish'. These young artists don't know about art and about our Indonesian tradition. But the young art critics said, 'yes, this is a new art'," said Harsono.

Every piece carries a powerful message.

"One thing we hope to achieve in exhibitions like this one is there is always a story behind contemporary art as well. So for Harsono's exhibition, it’s not just about his artistic practice but it's also the narrative of a nation that's behind it, and one man's journey behind it and how he has responded," explained Tan Siu Li, assistant curator at the Singapore Art Museum.

Harsono - who honed his skills in Yogyakarta and later at the Jakarta Institute - crafted politically-charged installations to express his unhappiness with the rule of former president Suharto in the 1990s.

As one wanders from one room to the next, you can see how shifts in political eras influenced the works of Harsono, especially following the resignation of former president Suharto in 1998.

This is when Harsono found the freedom he craved for - to take on a new artistic direction.

Installations of a more domestic setting and self-portraits reflect his shift away from the political to a more personal artistic expression.

Harsono also explores new audio and video mediums in his later works, adding to his vast repertoire of symbolic creations that span more than four decades of Indonesia's past.
