The night

The Night

The night falls

The gloom rises

Far into the memories

You heard my vows.

Tears ain't fill the loss

Only grieve all my faults

If, if, of...

I wasn't away that long.

500 Days of Summer

500 Days of Summer.

The Underpass

The Underpass

To reach the other side of the road
I have to go through the underpass

Its cloak of darkness extends
With the weak light flashing,
shall I move towards the further blackness

The steps might be in vain
The creeds are crowded out of my brain
No one knows how the drama goes
On the other side of the domain

It makes me so fear
But I can't let the thought disappear
or my heart not being sincere

Any alternative will be a smear
So call me a warrior
with a faith to which I adhere

Let the belief be my spear
Let my blood be the souvenir
to reach the land with a glory win

Fat Pink PJ Girl

Did two drawings of my cousin this afternoon. Just felt she looked funny in this fat pink PJ.

What about me? Feeling shit coming back from the project for holiday knowing there's still much work undone. And couldn't feel more shit knowing I'm booked onto another project in March for a whole month. Shit!

Alastair

One of my drawings of Al before he left back to UK. I've been involved on a project since. Feeling really exhausted and stressed.

Recent Decision

Al watching Pink Pantha in bed. I feel this drawing is a bit like Schiele's style, one of my favorite artists.

I'm planning to take some figure painting course when I go to UK. Although I got the offer of University of Arts London, considered the big gap between their international students' fee and home fee, which is £9,300 per year and £1,390 per year, I decided not to be account on taking a course in that university, at least not in the next three years. Because the reply I got from the university to my question "If I get a spouse visa, in what condition could I just pay the home status fee?" is- You have to stay in UK for at least three years to be accepted as a home student.

The answer was quite disppointing, thinking of the HUGE gap between the oversea's and home's fees. The tuition is going up year by year, while I am not sure whether the teaching quality would climb along with it. Think about it, what if I get pregnant and have a baby in one or two years, I will still be treated as an "international student" if I wanna go to college? I did feel quite excited when I got the offer.I did look forward to going there to study, very very much. And I did work much. But what a pity, facing my financial situation I don't think I could accept loaning money for just one year foundation course for which British students will just pay nearly 1/7, and I even don't want to wait for another three years to go to a foundation course. All what I feel is I wont make it unless they suddenly changed the policy to accept me as a home student then.

I just hope Al could get a good job where he feels fulfilled and joyful in career development. He thinks I should consider more about other ways to persue art, like short courses. I guess that's a good idea. I would like to join several short courses to train myself more in traditional art technique which is helpful for me to get deeper in art.

My Colleagues (Continued)

The only joyful chance to do art with my job is to draw my colleagues while we are working together. It is quick, meaningful and satisfying.
