"somehow reminds me of youu"

2012-02-11T17:04:00.009+08:00

Cindy sent me this:

Janine Antoni: "You know, we talked about schools but I haven’t mentioned anything about my experience as a teacher now. I teach at Columbia. I like to talk to my students about the importance of fantasy, because I think we all have a secret conversation with an imaginary viewer in our mind when making. This imaginary viewer could be modeled on a mentor, favorite artist, a best friend—or it might just be an ideal projection of a part of oneself. This is something that I like to encourage, because I think it’s healthy in the artmaking process to hone in on that specific dialogue. Then there are the more concrete fantasies in my work—like the desire to pee off a skyscraper, or chew on 600 lbs of chocolate (laughs). These are the crazy fantasies that I am allowed to live out in the name of art! I want to engage my own and the other’s imagination as though we were meeting somewhere in the unconscious. That is the space of art. It’s why I like Bruce Nauman. He seems to be a direct conduit into a particular place in my unconscious. It’s almost like I can recognize his work because I’ve experienced it in a dream. He seems to take me to that same place every time. I need him for that because I can’t access that place on my own."

and I laughed...

this reminds me to "live out your imagination to the fullest!"

"...i'm curious to discover what that country is like. To know what the scent is like, to discover the tastes, and the feeling of that place"

i never knew til that evening

Yesterday, these were random architectures that exist and might disappear the next day in this super-fast changing city, Sin Jia Po. Yet this evening, these two blocks as I passed them reminded me of my mamak and papak.
I never knew that we were so far yet so close, actually. Thank you for watching over me every night and day.

Kemarin, ini mungkin cuma arsitektur yang ada dan mungkin menghilang pada hari berikutnya di kota yang super cepat berubah, Sin Jia Po. Tapi sore ini, kedua blok itu saat aku melewati mereka mengingatkanku kepada mamak dan papakku.
Aku nggak pernah tahu kalau kita begitu jauh namun sebenarya begitu dekat. Terima kasih untuk memperhatikanku setiap saat.

Mission i'm-possible 2o12

2012-01-02T16:36:00.026+08:00

The missions in 2011 are accomplished! (read What-Has-Happened-in-2011). Yea, yesterday was the day we started a brand new day in the year 2012.

Lists of the mission i hope to achieve in 2012: "10 Missions i'm-possible":
1. Lord is the first priority of all!!
Seriously, I am truly nothing without Jesus Christ, my Lord, saviour, shepherd, best friend and the author of my life. For My Lord will never forsake me, therefore I put my trust in Him alone.

On the first day of the year, a reminder to myself in Matthew 6:33 (NKJV):³³ But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

2. Loving family even more and loving people unconditionally
Family is the greatest gift! And I wanna treasure by loving them even more this year.
As quote says, "Love your parents. We are so busy growing up, we often forget they are also growing old". I wish seven of us could be closer and love one and another as the time goes. So people, do spending your quality times with your loved ones!

Also, growing together with S46 & E410 family

3. Be a truthful person
One told me "just be real, genuine to the people around you...when you're happy, be happy, when you're down, you're down...we're not perfect"
to do: appreciating the value that i have, accepting for who I am, and be positive and confident in what ever I do.

4. FOCUS! FOCUS! FOCUS in dreaming
Temptation, challenges and obstacles may come along the way, but gonna keep running 'til i finish.

5. Be a healthy girl
start and make it as a habit: A healty life style!; enough sleep, exercises and more healthy foods please

6. "With age comes wisdom", yet not forget to remain playful
Adulthood inside, playful outside

7. Learn new things and keep the old ones on track
Explore the world. Less facebook-ing. More reading and writing. "jreng-jreng" with Ketty. Find new hobby.more.more.and more.

8. Less complain, do more.
and be grateful for little wonder happens around, chilli sauce for instance.

9. Let's make 365-single day counted
Life is short! Time flies so fast! Thus I want to embrace every single day as the stories and remembrance of those days I have been goin' through in life
The World within My Stories
The Days God has spoken

10. Tourist days
One of those dreams I dreamed was to be a fulltime tourist.
So next stop, will be...?

Have a nice day,

Pyus

7 habits of really happy people

2011-12-11T15:23:00.001+08:00

We all know that person. The one who is always laughing, crackin’ jokes, having fun, and just being happy, no matter what’s going on.Everyone is attracted to them, and perhaps you want to be like them. But maybe you think it’s impossible to always be happy. However, you most certainly can be happy like them and you SHOULD be happy like them.

They are no special secrets to how these people can have so much joy. They don’t possess anything that you don’t have. The only thing they do is practice habits that make them happy.

So here are seven habits that can be found in people who are always really happy. If you can practice these and turn them into habits you’ll be just as happy as them.

1. Don’t care what others think

They don’t care what others think or have to say. If they did, they wouldn’t let themselves free and be happy because of the possibility of scrutiny.

Really happy people also never let negative people and their attitudes get to them. Whatever the negative people say or do just rolls off the backs of the happy people.

2. Always looking at the bright side of things

No matter what situations are thrown at a happy person, they look for the bright side. Everything that is negative has a positive side to it. Negativity wouldn’t exist without positivity. Happy people know this and have practiced looking for the bright side so much that now it has become a habit. And even if a happy person can’t find the bright side of something, they’ll create it.

3. Being friendly

Happy people are always looking to make friends. They don’t care what you look like or what background you come from, they just want someone new to laugh and be happy with. And by default happy people are friendly; everyone wants to be happy as well and are drawn to them.

If you know a friendly person who is always making fun of others to bring them down, then they aren’t truly happy person. There’s something inside of them that they are insecure about.

4. Laugh & Smile

This habit goes along with being friendly. I have NEVER seen a happy person not smile or laugh. It just isn’t physically possible. However, a really happy person smiles so much that they turned it into a habit. You might even see them smiling for no real reason, it’s that natural to them. Laughing is another mandatory habit of really happy people. If you or they aren’t laughing, then there’s no true happiness.

5. Live in the moment

Really happy people make the most of every minute and day they have. They aren’t going to wait to have fun; they’re going to create fun now.

6. Push aside their troubles

Even if a happy person can’t find or create the positive side of a situation, they do the next best thing, they push it aside. They forget about it and move on because they know it’s only temporary and they know they can make their troubles leave even sooner.

7. Laugh in the face of fear

Just like the rest of us, really happy people have fears. Most of the time they just don’t display it. Happy people make jokes to lighten the mood and to make others feel more relaxed so they will too.

Seems like everyone I know, either going back to their hometown or having holiday somewhere around the world. Since i have no income and no 'lobang' for traveling from Mom too, i decided to have tourist days once more here, at Singapore. Why not? Eventhough it's a small country, there are so many things i haven't discovered yet. After all it's all about the experience of being tourist :) for I have a thought in mind that i'm gonna explore around Singapore before i leave this place.
Will 'steal' grab Wie's camera for this adventure time.weeheee

Okay gotta go..

happy holiday everyone

Galaxy tourist

2011-11-26T03:12:00.000+08:00

just the other night . i was sitting alone staring at the starry sky. dreaming somone would take away my worries and sadness. hold me by the hand. high up from the sky. with a brilliant light. a spaceship came descending. someone came out to me and I am sure he was asking. "YOU CAN FLY WITH ME"

never turning back. shot up to the dark and feeling the cold air run into my face. never close your eyes. you're about to see the galaxy. never turning back. shot up to the dark and feeling the cold air run into my face. never close your eyes. you're about to see the galaxy. the higher we fly the deeper we fall feeling dizzy with the sound of stars shining.

to the milky way, we were flying away through this fascinating darkness. tried to see and remember this magical moment never to forget. something pulling down, i came back to the ground i woke up in my own bedroom. but it can't be a dream, 'cause i still hear him saying, "EVERTHING IS REAL!". never turning back. shot up to the dark and feeling the cold air run into my face never close your eyes. you're about to see the Galaxy.. xy xy xy xy xy xy xy xy xy xy xy ~

Feel overwelmed inside me now. How i wish i could burst it out. But i am too tired. 37days before 2011 ends. I am sorry Mom for worrying about me for another year. I am sorry.

Not coming home for Christmas. Will see that beautiful million candles I missed two years ago once again. Turn my eyes and hearts upon You only Jesus. The days are still far ahead. Show me the paths and give me strength O' Lord each time I feel like giving up. For You are my Lord I depends on and put my trust in.

From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

"Drawing is like taking a line for a walk" – Paul Klee

The quote by Paul Klee inspired me literally to explore the idea of taking the line for a walk. In this project I explore the boundary between drawing and sculpture. I attempt to create a connection between the two mediums by combining its various elements and principles such as line as line work, color, visual representation, space and rhythm.

One said 'Nothing is original' in this world.
But, i do believe in the "uniqueness" in every single person that exist in this universe, and it makes us "original" in someway. None is better or greater than others, so

Small sculpture show

2011-10-13T23:14:00.002+08:00

About Small Sculpture Show

The Small Sculpture Show is dedicated to promoting small sculptures of any medium by Singapore or foreign sculptors and artists. Its theme is akin to the notion of “smallness of sculpture” – to introduce the more intimate scale of sculpture, contrary to the majority understanding of sculpture seen and perceived as large and commissioned public artworks.

This show aims to be a platform for the promotion of small sculpture / 3D work practices and works by both established and young artists, and to generate the appreciation and collect-ability of small sculpture for both public and art collectors alike.

The Small Sculpture Show is presented by Sculpture Square, supported by the National Arts Council and sponsored by Purple Sage and the Lee Foundation.

“Make your own dream.

That's the Beatles' story, isn't it? That's Yoko's story, that's what I'm saying now. Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It's quite possible to do anything, but not to put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don't expect Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you. You have to do it yourself.

That's what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshipped for the cover of the book and not for what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be.

There's nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome. And people cannot provide it for you. I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you.”
― John Lennon

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.” Steve Jobs

Bought this U900 ukulele that I named "Ketty" 8 months ago for birthday occassion. It has been so long i have never bought a gift for myself. Haha

Why Ketty? Uke is tiny, mini and cute just like Petty. So the name Ketty is derived from uKE and peTTY.
That is why whenever I play uke, it will always remind me of Petty.

Tanah Air Beta (Indonesia)

Mixed media on canvas |130 x 70 cm | 2011

Statement:
I used to think of maps as merely just part of geography lesson which has its function to identify and gives information about certain places. However in this work, I am attracted to the aesthetics of the natural shapes of islands which are the result of the shifting and changing of earth from time to time. Coming from Indonesia, I am particularly drawn to the islands of Indonesia which gives me an idea in a new way of looking at the disparate and scattered islands that make up Indonesia.

Through interpreting these shapes and parts of Indonesia into a drawing filled with different colours that I associate with childhood woodblock toys, I wish to evoke a sense of nostalgia and memory of the country which I grew up in.

A Cartographic Desire

2011-08-07T23:38:00.002+08:00

Time	Thursday, August 11 at 6:30pm - August 25 at 4:00pm

Location	Project Space @ Lasalle 1 McNally Street Singapore, Singapore

Human beings had since time immemorial, attempted to represent and visualise their environment through the drawing of maps in a variety of manners and perspectives – some more scientific than others, whilst many are skewed projections of how we like to perceive the worlds we live in. Despite the purposes of maps that yield desire to conquer and colonise new lands through battles and feuds, the language the maps is essentially on...e that promises routes into and out of the unknown. Yet for the artist, the map is a document filled with much artistic potential with a network of assumptions ready to be use, exploit and develop.

A Cartographic Desire is an exhibition that hopes to stimulate a dialogue between art and geography. As artists become increasingly sensitive to issues of space and problems that confound the border between the real and the fictional, the maps found and reinterpreted by the artist-students in this exhibition continue to seek that experience of the individual-within-space and the multiple subjectivities that come with depicting and representing places.
The rethinking of space/place is dynamic, subjective and multi-dimensional, in which the art works in this exhibition hope to evoke so that one can reconsider if space can be represented, and the limitations of this representation.
