A DREAM ABOUT MONSTERS & GOBLINS
I've always got fantasy like dreams which gave me great inspirations and stories to illustrate but I've yet to do so after "The House in my Dream".. Arghh~ I never had enough time to do everything!
Sometimes I force myself to sleep further in order to see more of the stories like this morning.
I was in this mansion and there was this old man who showed us (there were my friends and me I supposed, couldn't really remember the faces) around the mansion and the creatures he have. He told us they could be very dangerous (in a sense of killing) if they are not in control but he was able to control them somehow and it is safe for us to see. He also said that we have to keep it secret and it was only us who could see them.
At first, he introduced us a Scorpion-like creature in the hall which is really tiny and it shows no threat at all. Then, he ushered us into his well decorated kitchen and show us a very huge creature in the garden outside his kitchen (the kitchen was open out into the garden without any walls). The creature was a combination of scorpion head and cobra tail, it was sleeping under a big blanket. The old man woke the creature to let us have a better look but it turned out to be irritated and attempt to attack us!
"Leave the room and run! I'll handle this!" That was the last words from the old man and we ran back to the hall, but to our surprise, the tiny scorpion-like creature seems to have evolved and turned into half a meter tall creature! We fought out way through and lock ourselves in a white vintage room on the third storey and landed ourselves with two toddlers (maybe it's their room?).
"We have to save the toddlers!", said one of my friends. "But how if we were to escape through the windows? They wouldn't be able to make it for a three storey jump!", I asked.
Then, one of my friend took a dropper and touch lightly onto the head of one of the toddler whom he was carrying and the toddler grew into a child! He touch it again and he turned into a teenager! That solves the conflict and I did the same to the other child.
We jump right into the hedges behind the mansion and climbed on top of the concrete fence which could lead us on a field out of the mansion but we decided to check on the old man, so we followed the edge of the fence to the kitchen's garden. We saw the old man's wife arguing with the old man about some issues from a distance (the old man told us that he didn't want his wife to know about the creatures he kept, it was meant to be a secret and I guess it causes the argument).
We realised the huge creature was no where to be seen, so we decided to jump down from the fence to the narrow pathway in the garden to call for the old man but we saw a huge tail landing right beside us. The creature was hiding under the enormous blanket leaving it's tail outside and we somehow triggered the creature to come after us. Surprisingly, the old man did no attempt to stop the creature and gave us a wicked smile. It was then we realised that the real intention of the old man was to kill us all and he set the creatures after us all along.
We escaped on the narrow pathway along the fence and found the exit to the field. We fought our way over the fence and fled to reality, finding ourselves in a school event hall with all our classmates. We're saved!
If you think that was the end of the story, you are wrong! My dream went further into the story..
I was looking for my boyfriend and gave him a hug, feeling relieved to see him in the crowd. He asked me what happened and I told him that he wouldn't believe what I said, it was all like a dream! But he told me that he had to gather for a prize giving ceremony and went to queue at the right side of the hall. I followed him over but he was busy and I left the crowd.
As I distanced away from the crowd, a Volkswagen Bus park right beside me and I was dragged into the back of the Volkswagen Bus by a strong lady! (She has long brown curly hair and decent look, those you would see from mythical stories, but she doesn't look like she has the physical strength to pull me in, super natural power seems to be more convincing. The interior was more like a van than a "bus" and the floor of the "bus" was filled with grey carpet with a smell that say it's new.) I was struggling to break through and the idea of being sent back to the world with creatures engulfs me!
Meantime, I saw two Goblins like creature outside the windows of the Volkswagen Bus trying to break-in. The lady calmed me and explained that she was trying to protect me and I have to be in her protected zone in order to keep myself safe, we have to leave the place. I argued with her that I had to inform my boyfriend but she said I'll be in danger if I leave the "bus" and drove off without my consent! I watched my boyfriend laughing with his friends from the back of the window with disappointment..
I was arranged to stay in my home and was told not to leave the protected house. The lady had issues to due with one day and left my mom in-charge. I sense some unusual feeling when my mom was watering the plants outside. The Goblins were coming! I scream for my mom to come back in but mysteriously, three of my belongings were at the corridor and my mom went out to get it for me, she said it was important. I saw a Goblin appear right behind her back and proof!.. I woke up. I wonder how the story will continue but I guess my imaginative juice were dried up..

JON BURGERMAN'S MURAL
Linda was sharing this video on Facebook and I find it really interesting. I really wish I can touch on projects like this in future but I wonder how likely will it be to do this locally? What is the feeling like when hobby and job collide together and someone is paying you to do something you really love? I'm still trying to believe in that story.. http://jonburgerman.com/
BUS STAND SHOWCASE AT ORCHARD YMCA II
I'm finally back to get a better view of "The House in my Dream" showcase and brought my moms to see "Silence" at *scape today! They wanted to take a look at the showcases so we went to see both of them and took a little time to shop around before we got home.

BUS STAND SHOWCASES - SILENCE
Silence will be showcased at three different places and I've decided to drop by all of them despite the amount of distance I have to travel in a day. My boy dropped by my house to get the camera and tripod before setting off to the first location which was at Bukit Timah Road.
P.S.: I missed my bus trip to SP during my poly days and I met Yun Liang on the bus!
We took a bus to SP for lunch and took a train to our next location which was at Woodlands just outside Rupublic Polytechnic. The lighting was really good, the sky blue was pretty but the soaring sun was showering us with heat as well.. We were really tired with the walking and the heat but we still proceed to our next location to get a after sunset picture of the third "Silence" showcase!
Finally, it's the last location which was at Punggol outside Punggol Secondary School and we were totally drained and hungry, but at least we've seen them all. It's a once in a lifetime experience and I'm loving it. =)

NOISE EXHIBITION AT RAFFLES PLACE PARK
I was super excited today cause I am to see my work exhibited on the glass panels of Noise's Raffles Place Park Exhibition! I'm really thankful that my mom, uncle, little cousins, abo, linda and my boy dropped by Raffles Place Park with me today just to get a shot of my works! It was a memorable day despite the waiting outside the exhibition house for the sun to set. Thanks a bunch for everything! =)
VECTOR ILLUSTRATION - GLOOMY BIRTHDAY
This was done for my Adobe Illustrator Class.. I'm trying to adapt to all the new functions and I'm still on the basic level of AI! Anyway, we were to get inspired by one of the vector illustrators we researched on last week and work on a vector illustration and here's what I have, inspired from Ben Zhao's illustrations.. Well.. It's far from it! Haha! This is my second illustration from AI. It's supposed to be inspired by my boy's coming birthday but it looks too gloomy for a birthday graphics! Opps!
