LOST IN SPACE
My head got bigger every second with the questions that my prof has been asking me ....WHY? WHY? and WHY?s....HOW? HOW? and HOW?s...
"Why do you want to go underground?"
"Why do you want to put a market underground?"
"Why do you want to make people go down?"
"Why do you limit your space within that area? How do you define your boudary since you are building this world underground and you could go on and on and on...?
"Is it another of those undeground shopping malls?"
bigger and bigger ....heavier and heavier....I was still carrying a 50-pound junk inside my head while I board the bus ...and at some point in time, I started noticing this guy smiling to himself...with a pointy but rubbery-like nose. ...wanted to tell him that he looks cute like Mr Bean and as the thought just took off, I wondered if he could hear them. Maybe he did. His smile got a bit wider while he tries to maintain his 'grim' look. Maybe he is the brother of Mr Bean. I tried to tell him that he is the more handsome version of Mr Bean. Hopefully the message got across.
To his right is unfortunately, or fortunately..the uglier version of Michael Owen. Not that he is ugly, just that he is not as handsome, probably...
Just started to think that if I am the fan of both, will I prefer to see an uglier version of Michael Owen or a more handsome version of Mr Bean?
Fortunately, I'm neither. So it doesn't matter...and I can continue to "distort" them in anyway I want to.
Well...random thoughts in the midst of getting nowhere...I decided to just get off the bus a few stops before and walk home instead.
我活着的三大事
1。最幸福的事是在好饿好饿的时侯，吃下一碗白饭。
(那种幸福，和别人分享不到。）
2。最感动的事是在好饿的时候，看到了桌上的饭和菜。
（那种感动，是致命的。）
3。最开心的事是在饿的时候，和家人或朋友围着饭桌吃饭。
（那种开心。。。是家人和朋友的痛苦？？因为他们必须和我分享他们的幸福 !!）
IN ALL SERIOUSNESS
In the midst of searching for a way to look more "serious" and "stern"...here's two not-too-bad poses.
PEGGGED!
This clothes line which is basically a pulley system tied to the tree at the far end got me excited to wash my clothes and dry it outside!
MORE SKETCHES
Done on the rainy day looking out from the cottage's porch
Second Painting on that rainy day. It was so cold outside and we just started the fireplace in the living room. The feeling was so cozy that I refused to get out of the house to draw again even though I was interested in that red shed outside. So I turned to draw from the living room looking out of the kicthen window to catch a glimsp of that red thing.
My friend's comment was pretty funny. She said that it looks like some crazy boy who has entered into this haphazard world...
During the review session, my prof started commenting that it seemed like a very disturbing picture. Then he asked me what was I thinking about when I drew that....and I thought he meant that I was that crazy kid that my friend mentioned! No, he just meant to describe that the pic shows a cozy feeling.
This was the other rainy day when I went out to the old town to draw. I drew part of it from the restaurant and half of it elsewhere. The watercolour was done on a third location. When I was done with it, it just started to rain while I was waiting for the watercolour to dry. But since I was rushing to finish sketching another drawing before the rain gets bigger, I just left this aside. A guy then came by to ask me, "Will the rain not destroy the painting?" Well...I stumbled abit and giggled as I was trying to hide the obvious that I was lazy and just hoping that the rain will help add some special effects.
Don't ask me why it's purple and green. Just felt like it.But if you really need a reason, it's the weather -- my mood.
SKETCHING SCHOOL TRIP @ LUNNENBURG
One of my favourite views
the pretty and colourful little houses - woodsiding houses being the characteristic of the town's architecture
Ships and the sea..

Afterthoughts...
After spending a little more than a week in Nova Scotia, I am really happy to be back in Montreal. I have to admit that Nova Scotia was beautiful and life was pretty peaceful there. However, I was ready to leave the place anytime after just 2 days there. No doubt that life was pretty and perfect there, I begin to appreciate Montreal and city life more than before. For a while, I was thinking of what it is that makes me love Montreal. Perhaps, it's the convenience of the city itself. Definitely not the hustle and bustle of the city, because I tend to avoid the crowd and the noise. But what a friend said does make a lot of sense, it's all the little imperfections in a city that makes up the beauty of life and makes living so interesting. I guess, that's what I always put it as "being human"? Montreal, I guess, is a pretty good example of a city because it has all the essential qualities of the city..the chaos in essence which we always complain about, yet somehow we just miraculously got used to this chaos and actually unconsciously love it. ..and miss it too when we leave this mess.
GOOD MORNING!!
Just want to say a GOOD MORNING to myself!!! I'm in a pretty good mood today even though it rained in the morning and will be raining later on for the whole day according to the forcast.
I've been living a pretty healthy lifestyle ever since I got back from Nova Scotia! Sleeping before midnight and waking up at 6am!! I even went for a jog yesterday morning down my neighbourhood!
It's 7.32am now and the day has just made its way bright! It seems that winter is chasing my summer away though because my sun is waking up later and later every day and going to bed earlier too with each passing day! BUT it's alright...because I will be a bit braver than last year , i think? i hope? alright... i will!!
