I'm dreaming tonight
Of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have some snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas
Because home is where you are
I'm dreaming of home, when I feel alone
And wishing upon a star

That I'll be home for Christmas
And not just in my dreams
I'll come home for Christmas
So wait for me,
I'll be there sooner than it may ever seem

Now I'm off for breakfast at Thayer Street with the Singapore kids :D
Remind me that I owe everyone a mega-post about life, school and Providence!

So my art teacher retired last Friday. Was feeling all sentimental, but I'm really glad I got to talk to her for one last time before she finally left the ACJC campus for the last time. I gave her a card! It was a Mr. Bean (as in, the soybean food shop) postcard thingy and she actually took one look at the picture and said

"This is quite a good piece of art you know!"

Even more inspiring was how she promised to continue painting and doing all kinds of art for the rest of her life.
She also plans to travel a lot and see the world.
Bye Mrs. Ang! Here's wishing you a happy retirement, and that you'll have all the fun in the world on your many many travels.

I think I will eventually decide to go to RISD.
Hopefully I'll be able to meet Mr. Sonny Liew this week so he can tell me more about what life is like there! He is an awesome artist, and the best part is, he's based in Singapore (:

Check him out at http://sonnyliew.wordpress.com/

Meanwhile, go here: http://www.formspring.me/artistreetrat

And ask me all the questions you want! You can choose to remain anonymous. It's an interesting site that my friend Zac started using.
Get to know Deb better! :D But be nice.

Today I managed to snap and upload pictures of three things that make me happy.

( ABSOLUT HAPPY THINGS )

 Here's a design I did for the Pameran Poskad Exhibition in Singapore.

( Meowr! )

Dedicated to Mish Chua. May you always be the kitty that catches the biggest fish.

:)

Wow, haven't been seen around in these parts in a long time.

( First, some pictures! Just to brighten your day (: )

In other news, Deb gets accepted by Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, USA. Hence the celebratory drawing.
Deb is really happy but realises she now has to concentrate on possible scholarships.
Deb is also waiting to hear from three other colleges she has applied to. Keep your fingers crossed!

going to a friend for help in times of desperation isn't the same as hopping onto a life raft when the storm destroys your boat and expecting it to carry your weight as well as your very very posh sailboat can.
a friend can actually feel pain.

God has his own little ways of telling us which companions to keep, and which ones you'll never need to see for the rest of your life. thank you, God, you make life easier

On another note, I really like soundtracks. Orchestrated music is surprisingly calming.
Like. The 1997 Anastasia (from Disney) soundtrack, and the Bleach Fade to Black movie soundtrack. Oh, and there's the game soundtrack from Final Fantasy VIII too!

Besides that, there's Gotan Project's La Revancha Del Tango.

Angus is my clay rat. He strangles Atticus the other rat, you have to see it. Work in progress! Will share pictures soon :D

have been thinking a bit recently. so here are four main people who have been running around in my head. wouldn't take long to guess who they are. don't tell anyone if you know, though.

( who are you? )

and back and forth we sway like branches in a storm,
change the weather, still together when it ends

This is a little something I did for Char today. Been owing you this for a while! Sorry sorry :D

( The Pirate! )

( Another version, if you want to see the details... )

Oh well, an early birthday present for you, maybe? :D

Look forward to getting older soon, Char >D

And a happy Youth Day holiday to all.

( So I really have been revising. )

Guess who the people in this motley bunch are! :D
