Wah......wat a day......in the morning....i join my ma n bro to go hunt for shoes....then comes back to go wif Val to Art Museum...duno y I choose tat place......then Val agree to go....so we go lor...compliments of the NTUC income BDay gift....
I made a boo boo out of myself...i supposed to wait for Val at 3pm but i duno where...so i dragged till near 330pm then i reached. Coz she nearly wield knife at me.......exaggerated stuff....
Wat an inspiring trip there......i found out a lot about life from the sculptor Zhu Ming. His attitude towards life n his creative process, help me to learn n understand n solve the problems troubling me.....This guy totally gets the essence of TaiChi...and express it rather well.....admire him for it...for i read thru the same thing but i get little enlightment.....hope this does not have something to do wif age....
Then there is an exhibition on Creative use of Art to display the otherwise bored science n genetics....it is cleverly done.....Val n I like this particular painting made on the handmade recycled paper....it depicts life in large city......very colourful.....
Oh...there is an exhibition on the use of video n media to create art....it is particularly related to my course.......the impact of media on the audience...
" The moving image.......allowing the eye to follow a range of events and develop a particular expectation....pauses n delays modify the expectations of the narrative structure and alloe for new ideas and ways of any to be discovered."
Wic brings me to the point....y do pple allow moving image like TV and films to sway their own perceptions? Is it becoz they underestimate the new media n treat it as harmless? B4 theyknow it..they are addicted and passive towards it? Is tat how globalisation or more specifically Americanization, Cola-nisation n Macdonald-lisation comes about?
But there is a chinese saying of "戏如人生,人生如戏".If things are unreal, then what does the story based on? Pple are not dumb and stupid....pple are manipulated to view the film in a specific way...but how many times does someone break out of the trance n think of the whole film in entirely new ways? So bcoz of laziness n undertreatment.....it change our perceptions? Isnt it scary at how things so minute can impact on us? Just c how crazy Japanese can b when they are allowed to host olympics in 1964(i think)... TV sales went soaring all high..though it was still expensive even for B/W TV....
Another Facinating thing is Finger-painting....it is amazing to me...someone who rely very much on tools like colour pencils n brush to paint....big areas are painted by finger joints n thumbs....while small fine lines are drawn using fingernail...n amazingly...there is not one fingerprint.....the colour is so well spread on n mixed wif hues....tat one cant hardly differentiate it from one done wif brush.... I like a painting on Pine that is build up of 4 individual papers.....the pine needles are drawn by fingernails n it is absolutely fantastic........n I was stunned by another painting......one about Plum Blossom or 梅花.....duno whether u guys know it...but i particularly like Plum blossom......duno y....tat painting is a stunner....it is very real n mixed the hues brilliantly....bright red with a tint of pink.....amazing....n of course thereare paintings on bamboos....wic i also like......Val says she put me her to look at it to 望竹止渴.......she very bad ah.......
Then we went to AMK to eat chicky cutlet...Whoa...big plate n i nearly couldnt finish it.....very tasty.....hehehe.... we buy some bottles of shampoos n went back to Yishun.....we went to watsons to get the conditioner she was toking to me about......ha.....hope my hair becomes straight.......oh there is the cultural nite near our hse...we went....n not very nice....juz some rolling here and there...no songs.... but it was a troupe set up by ex-TV actress Pei Xiaoling's mother, Pei Yanling......home lor......quite happy today....
Thanks Val for ur company....
