"Not that I have already
obtained all this,
or have already been
made perfect, but I press
on to take hold of that for
which Christ Jesus
took hold of me.
Brothers, I do not
consider myself yet
to have taken hold
of it. But one thing
I do: Forgetting what
is behind and straining
toward what is ahead,
I press on toward the
goal to win the prize
for which God has called
me heavenward in
Christ Jesus.
" -philippians 3:12-14

    need a break!! :D


    --
    drew hard on monday! :D


    reached school at 130pm, drew till 6 pm, dinner, 3d modelling lesson till 1030pm, then went back to drawing lab to draw till 4am! haha. BUT. not finished yet leh. quite SIAN!

    but pizza 'party' was fun - ordered one large Hawaiian pizza (cos there's just 4 of us) hehe and made the room smelly with garlic breath! yikes! :D anyways, there were still animators awake at 4am! crazy stuff! lol.

    sleeping on 3 movable chairs is an art. haha.

    ---

    woke up to meet Ben for breakfast (he has to do his lab also! poor thing!) and found out that many many ADMers are still in school during the 'recess'. haha.

    nice to meet jp and his film friend for lunch, if not i will be eating in the animation lab alone! yikes! cui cui cui cui cui.

    couldnt stand drawing anymore after lunch and was too sleepy, so went to research for my written assignment in ADM library. and of course i borrowed alot of nice looking books to look at during the holidays - which i am really enjoying now (!!!!) and i also read some illustration books (which i took a few photos of if i needed inspiration in the future haha). very cool!

    ---
    one of the books i borrowed was "Tarzan chronicles" - the journal of the whole process of making tarzan (it's incredible!) and i was so fascinated i went to watch Tarzan in the library immediately while waiting for Ben , and wow, it's great to see it again! the animation was awesome, and tarzan is so handsome. haha. up to this point in my life i've never realised how LOOONNNNG the credits were for animation films, but boy, it was really long! each character in the movie has a lead animator,and a group of animators under him, which excludes coloring and rendering...! just for information's sake.. a 52 sec part of the movie of Jane took 6 weeks to complete! T-T that is just 52 seconds of JANE. haha but was great, very fun and inspiring, feels like a nice thing to do for a recess! i havent felt this relaxed (but cui after the drawing) in a long while! Glen Keane - chief animator for the character Tarzan is an amazing guy seriously. wicked sick!.

    anyways, the point is, it's always good to get fascinated, inspired and excited to continuously respark that interest in what you're doing. it's so important!!! i can't imagine drawing for umpteen hours just to slog it through and not liking what i did or what i am doing or what i will do in the future. it will be such a waste of my time and paper and i can go on...! and animation is a crazy thing to slog for! but of course i dont not strive to live for it. haha.

    now, in contrast.... i am slogging for Asian art history. haha. it's been a pain, and i sincerely believe that it WILL continue to be a pain until i am done with it!. pfft! written assignment and presentation - currently have no inspiration at all, there's a great resistance in me to do it! how now brown cow . mooooooo.

    anyways, just to share my happy readings with anyone who's interested-

    ++"Tarzan Chronicles" ++
    is definitely a must read if you're an animator, concept artist, draftsmen, blabla..


    ++"Shag" by Josh agle++
    am currently reading an illustration book by josh agle. i really like his work, very colorful, stylish, chic maybe? they described it as "retro-cool" in the book. you can even visit his webbie here:

    http://www.shag.com/ yea, his stuff are definitely cool... i tink he's an illustrator, not too sure though- just happened to be attracted by the colors of his book while i was browsing through the ADM books . hehe. spunky!




    ++ "experiencing God's presence" by Matthew Henry++
    yea, currently reading matthew henry's "experiencing God's presence" also, it's a really good book, quite classic one i tink :) very deep..

    maybe more books i've bought which i've not read yet T-T.


    ---

    thank Cynthia for blessing me with 150dollars for my cambodia trip ( i didnt even ask her for it T-T ) ,and thank God for answering prayer so immediately! i tink i can buy my tickets by early october.. and i went to look at the website and viola! the day that i'm leaving- 1st dec, is so much cheaper then the day before and after it! by about half price somemore! so i thank God that yea i'm really going and i know He's making ways for me to go despite of the circumstances..so i'm thankful!

    but i'm struggling now- tiredness..dryness? but i'll cling on to my only Hope cos apart from You i know there is no hope...! so keep me and draw me my Lord....

    draw me- Keith green

    Draw me, oh, draw me, please draw me, my Jesus.
    Into your presence, where I cannot lie.
    My soul is so thirsty, I cannot endure it.
    And if I can't get closer, I surely will die.

    Take me, oh take me, please take me, my Jesus.
    Quickly, before I forget that I'm lost.
    For so many times, my mind has deceived me,
    That I really don't have to carry the cross.

    I just need to know how to pray.
    My wicked desires block the way,
    Sometimes I have grieved you away,
    I don't want to do that today.

    Help me, oh help me, please help me my Jesus.
    Save me from sins that I thought were all gone.
    Kill me with kindness, and break through my blindness.
    I know till I'm dead, I can never live on.
