hurray. mid terms' finally over. AS presentation is over. and i've submitted my 2 individual essay and visual map.
now i'm left with 2 more presentations, 4 more reports and 1 exhibition. woah... a lot more to go..
but that's uni life. what more can i say. there's really no real end to anything. and your workload just keep piling up. =(
really, the only thing that i look forward to now is samba practice. not even wkends because my sat and sun are packed with project meetings. that's how sad my life is now. but nonetheless, jiayou! i can do it! kambate! come on. i need encouragement. i guess everyone needs it now. ALL THE BEST TO ALL! 1 MORE MONTH TO GO! woohoo...

i MUST blog about this artist. he's Martin Creed, an installation art artist. what he creates is really amazing, and you will wonder whether this is an art or not. an A4 paper crumpled into a ball is an art. a paper folded and unfolded upteem times can be called an art too. a room ligh switched on and of. a bluetack rolled into a ball and depressed onto the wall. scribblings. a nailed door stopper causing the door to open at 45 degree. all these can be called art. A-R-T. wow. of couse, there is a meaning to every piece. there sure is. only that it is super abstract. unless it is just random ideas.
but there is one piece of work that i really am impressed. it's called "half the air in a given space". basically it's a room filled with balloons. lots and lots of balloons. ok, here's the meaning to it: even in an empty space, there is still the existence of air (represented by balloons). >> even when you see nothing, there is something in front of you--air. super abstract. but that's something that i often thought and wonder of. we are surrounded by something we can't see. when we grab nothing, or missed our punch, we are actually grabbing or punching something, particles/molecules called air. just that we can't feel it, smell or see it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. chimalogy.
