o_O A looooong walk. Hort Park.

It's really a looooong walk, with many millipedes and centipedes (alive/squashed) on the ground.

Hoching is really amusing, interesting, brave, -inserts admiring-worthy adjectives-, she dared to pick them up and play with them XD from her, we "learnt" that millipedes poop when in fear. She just had to pick one up and they'd excrete something and she'd go "eee it just shitted on my hand"

I really admire Hoching *_*

I liked this museum a lot, although lacking in exhibits, the presentation IS one of the most awesome I've seen so far >_< I liked that 'well' with the mirror, and also the storytelling dark room D: (idk the name)

I really enjoyed myself today and I wished we could have longer time for CID lesson today so we could finish viewing everything in the art museum. Most of us viewed the Korean Contemporary Show first. The exhibits on the first floor did not fascinate me as much as the ones on the second floor :X

I liked Kim Tschang Yeul's - Recurrence (1989). The artwork looks like there is a huge water droplet is on the word 光, shining as though light from above was reflected off its surface.

Lee Yong Deok's works are VERY interesting XD they look like people were imprinted on the slabs (I was imagining people dropping themselves onto wet cement *splat*, but I know it isn't so. Just a funny thought when I first saw the artworks.) The works look detailed, and I was even more amused when I started walking and it seemed as if the figures were rotating and following my movements. (Ruoling kept pacing up and down left and right for dunno how many times, I think she was even more amused by them than I was HAHAHA)

To me, Lee Jung Woong's Brush was really amazing. Whether I was looking from far away from the artwork or squinting at the details, the painted textures look very realistic.

Kim Kang Yong's Reality... the blocks on the painting look really three-dimensional because of the shadowing.

Yim Tae Kyu's artworks look dark... and I love them. Splatters of black paint look like blood on the monochromatic paintings.

Lee Lee Nam's Digital Geumkangjeondo. REALLY AMUSING LOL. When I first saw it I just thought "oh, just a traditional scenery painting being shown digitally". I went closer to the artwork and realised that there was construction work IN the scene -- from a traditional scenery with only nature to a modernised place with the world's famous manmade features. I felt like ROFL-ing when I saw the Statue of Liberty appearing on the mountains in the traditional scenery because it looked out of place there. Slowly buildings formed but I didn't manage to see the whole process because there wasn't enough time T_T
So the video art by this artist is really fascinating and I wanna see more! (There were other artworks like the boat in the water, where the boat seems to be really cruising in the water since the water was moving.. but the one with the changing traditional scenery beat this hands down!)

Ik-Joung Kang's Happy World was really happy. Many square tiles with paintings on them (on different places/things of the world I suppose. That was what I inferred from the bottom tiles. I can't possibly float up and look at the tiles above because it was really high up) made up a huge, colourful, mosaic-like artwork. It really made me cheery, so I think it's really a Happy World.

I enjoyed the "is it tomorrow yet?" exhibits. Highlights from the Daimler Art Collection (1926 - 2006). We were given a workbook for this but I didn't manage to really do anything to the book *ahem*. (I didn't have the time to! XD I spent most of my time there viewing the Korean Contemporary Show that I didn't have time to see the rest.) When I first went into the hall the place smelled of chocolate chip cookies to me :X Didn't have the time to see the things there in detail.

I wanna go see them agaaaaaaaaaain. But some of the exhibitions are ending already T____T

We went to the NUS museum today. The place was fairly quiet and what was interesting about the exhibits here was that some of them were interactive. I think we were most fascinated by the different "contracts" in the cabinet that we could rummage through... I liked the painting of a pontianak too. Even though it did not look very scary when just looked at, I was afraid to go near the painting to have a closer look because the dark colours used made me feel as if the pontianak could spring out of the painting anytime.

Went through some stuffs on report writing in class, so far there's nothing much happening yet..

Not much going on today

Saving Private Ryan was...gory. A little traumatising. However, for some odd reason I enjoyed the video. It's much nicer than Happy Tree Friends and I'd really like to watch the full film.

This video clip has made me feel more fortunate that I was born in the '90s, that I do not have to go through the times of wars. And I hope I never will. Recession is still better than war, but both are still not good to have


No CID for 27 January. CNY! CNY! hongbao!

I'm quite excited about what I'll be doing for CID this year because I have always liked museums since small. In fact, some of the memorable outings that I've had would be the trips to some museums in Jakarta (forgot which).. so I hope that this year's project will be interesting/fun. :/
