....i'm taking time off to pen something down cause it has been 'moons' since i last updated this site.

its that time of the month again...nope not period.

it's that time of the month where i'm battling with time to meet datelines for the neverending assignments for the unforgiving lecturers. this semester is particularly challenging. Seven modules and all of them requires intensive thinking and writing..... but nonetheless conplaining wont get me far... i'' just have to do it. furthermore, it's less than a month before the semester officially ends.... Graduation is on the way!

This semester, i found myself to be a 'library worm'. Ironically not exactly a bookworm. I found myself travelling to the library often. Almost every other week. The nature of assignments are in such a way that i'll have to excavate for books. in one of those trips there, i found some exciting books. Books that are well packaged and enticing visually.

This book is special. Entitled 'ice cream', it documents a contemporary art exhibition. What i like about it is that shiny and reflective sheen it has. It's multi-coloured depending on the angle that you're viewing it.

here's another one:

a book on andy warhol

the two volumes of the book are packaged in a box. The covers and the box has a 'cardboard' feel about it. What is interesting about it is, it exemplifies warhol's concept of the use and appropriation of everyday objects.

here's another one, it is entitled shadow. The image on the cover is monochromatic and the highlight of this book would be the cutout silhoutte of a girl beside the image of a girl. This is really visually interesting.

After the trip to the library, I headed down to the national museum of Singapore to catch the infamous Greek Sculptures. It is just not right for an artist/art student/ art teacher to miss this show because it is a rare opportunity to see these ancient and 'aged' sculptures 'fly' here.

The crowds was encouraging. How often do you actually see a long queue at the visitor's counter? How often do you actually get to see throngs and throngs of people crowding over the sculptures in a museum? Its really enlightening. Unfortunately, I could not really relish the moments there, appreciate the sculptures and read the annotations that comes with it. there are too many crowd to contend with. Nevertheless, taking photographs is something that I never forget to do wherever I am. So here goes.

I must say the sculptures are marvellous. Carved into an idealized perfection, it speaks alot about the Greek cultures in the medieval times. They are beautiful. I will come back again for sure... on a weekday where there are lesser crowds.
