Did modeling just now in college for the 1st time. Wondering how did I get into it? Well, I was actually helping a friend who is in Fashion Department and her assignment was to design any clothes with any materials and find someone to be her model on the runway. I was nervous because I’m not used to so many people looking at me and the heel of the shoes is quite high, which I hardly wear such high heels. Anyway, when the emcee explain to all of us about how many times should we pose and stuff like that, I was actually shaking because people were starting to crowd around the exhibition hall, waiting to see the fashion show. The first round was only the models where each models must walk the runway with 3 poses. And the second round was the models together with their respective designers. I was nervous at first, but after a while, I kinda had fun. My designer, Rose’s concept was Floral and I like her design! All of the designers’ design on the fabric was not made from cloth like the ones we all wear everyday, but it was made from old fabric and tissue paper with gum? (If I’m not mistaken). So, it’s actually hard and has the shape of it already. Okay, enough talking. Time for the pictures!!

Me & my designer, Rose. The outfit in this picture was design and made by her. The brown sticks was actually real. Everything on this outfit is either glued or sew. =) more…

Semester 1 has ended and my results were okay, I guess. It’s satisfying for now since it’s only Semester 1. But I need to push myself more if I wanna improve. Today is the first day of Semester 2. Got my new timetable and it’s pack with 6 different subjects! I’ll be having classes everyday starting from today. Not only that, I’ll also be having 4 periods of Drawing class on Wednesday! Entering Semester 2 is like entering a new level. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I hope I’ll be able to do well this semester and that my grades will improve.

There are some new subjects to study this semester like Illustration Technique, more…

This term, there are more subjects for us to study. One of the additional subject is Photography. Dad bought me a DSLR camera (Nikon D90) and my lecturer, Mac Tan would take us outing during Photography lesson for us to take some shots. Today, we went to Chowrasta Market to take some documentary pictures. It’s the 1st time I experience using DSLR camera to take pictures. Here are the pictures taken just now and for those who have not been to Penang, this is how Penang market looks like.

On the way to the market. It’s just a few minutes walk from college. =)

Last Tuesday (13th April 2010), Mr Melvin, our Drawing lecturer took us to Esplanade to draw. It’s a little different than drawing in class because there were so many people passing by trying  to take a look on our drawing. But it’s an interesting experience. At least we don’t have to draw in class all the time. That would be boring. I hope we can get to draw more outside of the classroom.

My classmates. (^.^) more…

Wow!! Time do pass by fast. Just a blink of an eye and it’s already February! I know my last update was in January. Well, here are some updates on what’s going on.

- College is still great! Had my 1st assignment to do and it’s due on week 8, which is next 3 weeks. For 2D and Colour Studies, we are required to make a carrier (to put things inside. For example, a bag, a box…etc…). For Drawing class, we need to draw a pile of oranges and also a handkerchief. And for Computer Studies, we need to design a milk carton.

- Followed my dad to PECC (Penang E-Community Club) last 2 Friday and helped out by guiding the senior citizen on using Facebook. Bernice was the teacher and the volunteers including me were there to help. I’m gonna teach them about blogging soon! (^.^) more…

Time pass by so fast as it is now the middle of January 2010 and I’m in college!! How awesome is that?! Wondering which college and course I chose? Well, I’m studying at Equator Academy of Arts doing Graphics & Multimedia Design. At first, I never thought that I would choose this course and that I would be interested in it. It just came to me. I guess God had answer my prayers on which direction to go after high school. Thank God for that because I’m loving it there!!

This course doesn’t require any books which means I don’t have to study or memorize anything. It only requires creativity. There’s no exams to stress myself and definitely no “last minute studies”. Marks will be given in every work I’ve done in the class and will be added up at the end of the term as my exam grade. Cool huh?? Now there are only 3 subjects to learn because the course will only begin in March. So for the January intake students, we are now learning the basic. For example,  subjects like Drawing by Mr. Melvin Arlegui, 2D and colour studies by Mr. Chris Choo and Computer studies by Mr. Collin Teng. I never like drawing and painting because I’m not good at it but after attending these classes, I’m starting to like it. In fact, I enjoy every lessons of every classes. more…
