p/s: long blog entry!
did quite a number of things today..
*hic
i was having the hiccups the entire day non stop yesterday. i went to bed at 1 feeling extremely sleepy. when i lay down, i found myslef going *hic *hic *hic. got kicked out by my sis for the hics and i lay on the sofa hic*-ing till 6 am in the morning before falling asleep feeling extremely weary.
tutor
11.30am - i was awoke by the house phone and my primary school best friend asking why i haven't go downstairs. i had promised her to "tutor" her subjects. i hope this year she can have an easier time studying (i had 4 hours sleep for every night last year).
shopping
1.30pm - i saw the time and was shocked because i had promised to meet meiliang by 2. in a mad rush, i bathed and hurried to jurong east to meet her. our shopping goal for today is to get meiliang a bag and me some inner-wear. saw a fred perry (who the hell is that?!) bag which was quite nice for freaking 80+ bucks. i used to take hours to travel around bugis but now i can cover everything in an hour flat.
Zaha Hadid
6pm- i rushed down to meet ahbao for the Zaha Hadid exhibition. i only saw ahbao and jolene waiting for me. it was pathetic because i had expected 0304 to turn up. we met up with weiqiang and edmund.
zaha hadid (hereby known as z.h) has a flamboyant style. but i like lah cuz it's kind of girly. her sculpture in the front of the singapore arts museum looks kind of like a super big flower, followed by a superman-cape/stingray like sculpture in the front door. all her sculpture are made of white expensive cardboard. at first i thought it was styroform. keke.
i found out from edmund that this kind of exhibition costed about $300 000 just to exhibit. wow. i wonder if anyone will sponser me next time. and then z.h's exhibtion is not a exhibit of her works, it is just the white cardboard sculpture to frame the place. there was one of her sculpture in a big room which was very grand.
the sculpture was like super BIG, and it looked like those paths of a roller coaster ride, which was very flowy and it looked perfect for sleeping! like those big hammocks.
her sculptures brought a different feel to the whole room. hung onto the sculptures were those artist's paintings. good o'ld edmund gave us a tour (he sounded like they hired him as a tour guide!)
i personally felt taht some of the exhibitions was morbid and others were like, show-stopping. there was a chair split into halves and everyone stared at it.
my personal favourite was a series of fairytale captured in photos turned morbid. i've seen people doing very nicely out of fairytales remixes. could this artist be a friend of anna?
i even saw A ELECTRIC ZAPPER BABY CRADLE. OH MAN THAT WAS FREAKING. it's like, u put a baby inside and lock the cradle up and turn on the switch. inside the cradle was a fake sculpture baby. weikeong told me to look and i freaked out. =(
oil paintings done by local artist (not sure who) are nice. everyone were tricked into thinking they were 3D. i would love to be an artist too. i love painting.
a weighing scale that spells
chic
i shared a love-hate relationship with you. i'm breaking down.
