Don't be so hard...?
Sunday, October 19, 2008

I don't understand. Every so often I witness kind gestures by loved ones to another loved one rejected so curtly, so hurtfully. I really wonder why is it so hard to take the offer of the husband who so kindly and lovingly offered his wife to sit at the only empty sit in the bus while he carries their daughter? Why must she say, "no" so curtly. Why is it that she must insist, "I DON'T want to sit!" *jeling(evil glare)* then order him to walk forward? Sigh... it really saddens and baffles me to witness such phenomenas. How frustrated must the husband be for being so kind and yet been turned down hurtfully. How confusing can that be?

On the other hand, why must some girls/ women or the female population in general play so so hard and difficult? Guys are so kind and persevering to put up with us who don't want coke, but light coke. Who do not want to sit at the place where the fan blows (where their hair will get messeD up). Who makes them pay for EVERY single thing when they go out. Man, they are not ATM machines (though some may be lahh..) which must choke up the money to supply your EVERY wants and demands! Ok, I'm not being a feminists but, from what I've been witnessing is boggling and frustrating. So often the female gender run down the male and I do not think they deserve it.

But don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the females can be run down. I'm speaking of both parties. Be gentle, easier going if you already aren't. It wouldn't make people look at you in disgust to accept a kind gesture with a thank you and a smile. It wouldn't crack your bones to open the door for someone. It wouldn't break your back to help someone to carry some of their load (unless its too heavy for you.. :p). It wouldn't hurt your pride to take a sit offered to you... to name a few exmaples of circunstances. Smile more, say thank you more. It wouldn't hurt. More often than not, if not always, it would please :)

Won't we all make the world a better place and less divorces if we could be more pleasant?

Breast Casting for Breast Cancer Awareness
Saturday, October 04, 2008

There! My first public sculpture! Ok ok.... i meant, my first group public sculpture. Hehe! All for the good cause of creating awareness in breast cancer, in regards to the Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2008. Collaborating with KK Women's and Children's hospital, 8 of us girls from Level 1 and 2 Sculpture under the supervision of our lecturer casted 6 breast cancer survivors using aljunid (the moulding material they use in dental clinics) and plaster bandage. These ladies were really really brave to bare their chest (breasts) in front of so many girls and let us 'touch' them. Haha. Not that we really had a choice. I mean, we needed to do the casting!! We needed to put the materials on them so that we get the shape and details of their scars, reconstructions and so on. And no, we weren't sued for molestation:P

So for a few weeks after castings done, we strengthened the plaster bandage casts with plaster of paris and epoxy resin. Then spraying it with colour to represent the different races. We didn't have a big budget, nor much time... nor were we paid. But! That's all okay:) This is an experience and... a good look for CV. Heheheee ;)

Personal invites to the launch of the exhibition!
It was really thoughtful of them to actually have our names down.
Makes it feel more... personal :)



Even on the envelopes!:D










Certificate! YAY!!:D :D






Ooh.. and a KK hospital photo frame as gift of apreciation.


Oh...! Did I mention that one of the most listened to radio( I think??), 9.38 live was at the launch today interviewing one of the doctors? Yeah! Oh... and the irony( which i don't still get!) , is... they recorded the interview and announced that it will be broadcasted on Monday. Like..... HUHH?!? So much for being 9.38 Live.

All in all I'm pretty happy and satisfied about this whole project. Not because we got a photo frame and a certificate of appreciation lah(.... well, maybe this part, yes:P) but because I've actually been a part of creating awareness of breast cancer and the experience I had throughout the process.

Okie.. it's been a long day (which everyday is...) and I'm off to lalaland! Toodle doo!:)
