Beloved M Class

Okay, so some of my classmates actually ended their blogpost with this class post. So now I'm going to do the same thing :D

So this photo was taken yesterday, on Tuesday in Drawing Fundamental class.
This class photo session was not planned at the first time.
I was only thinking of taking photo with the teacher because this teacher is my most favorite teacher, and that day was the last day we will meet him in class. So I want a photo with him since I like him so much~
Then suddenly it turns out we take photo of the whole class
But it was funner that way. 




 I really love my class this time. I think I'm lucky to be in VA1M class, all of the people are so fun and nice. I wonder if I will be able to find another class this fun. At first, of course I was thinking that everybody will be more individual and will not mix up together... But turns out that we all can be good friends and I can feel the togetherness. But sadly, in a count of months we will be separated and enter our own majors.... Just when we start to be comfortable and get along. 
But that's life, there's always good byes.
So we need to enjoy this time to the fullest, because it doesn't last forever



Till next time..

This post is gonna be different with the other posts.
About some words I think about.



Life have ups and downs
Sometimes you can feel so energetic, happy, cheerful on the day, in front of other people.
In the day when you meet people, you start to forget about your problems.
But at night when you are there alone, with nobody
These problems will start to haunt you again.
you will start to over think small things.
And become sad, depressed, devastated, feeling left out
Like you're the most miserable human being in this world.

When people talk and rant to you
They think you're such a cheerful, optimistic person that doesn't have any problems
But they just don't understand
Deep down, you're the same with them.
But you cannot reveal that you are feeling the same thing.
Because you're just too embarrassed to let people know your weak side.
All you can do is just keep all the problems to yourself
And act like you're fine
When you're not.

...............................................................................................................

BUT SOMETIMES..
what you have is just a small problem.
You are the one who exaggerate it!
maybe you are just tired, or you're just lonely?
 that's why you become so emotional.


But then, if it is a really big problem
why cry over it? why over think about it?
rather than that you go solve it.
or if it is something that you cannot do about,
then just think as it is a God's plan
that it is meant to be happen.
just wait and see that something better are coming on it's way to you
you just gotta be patient and wait for it.

and don't you forget all those things you never realize
what you have around you right now.
you over think your problems too much until you don't realize all the good things surrounding you
it is like you only pay attention to one small rotten flower in a big garden full of pretty flowers
open your eyes, see your surrounding, what you still have right now.
and be thankful for it, for what you have now

realize that you may not know if other people is being jealous of what you have now
because they are not as lucky as you.

"LIVE IN' experience

This post is gonna be so interesting since it tells about my experience living in the small village named Sadang, located around East Java. The journey from my school (Jakarta) to Sadang took approximately 12 hours by bus. It was soooooo tiring. Should be faster when we use airplane but because the region is so small and far from the nearest airport, and also maybe the school's policy.... we used bus.

It is a part of the school's curriculum for us to experience this so called "Live In". We are being separated in groups of 2 people and each being left in a local resident's house there for 4 days. We need to help them, act as a part of their family and also experience the feel of living in poor, and in a very simple and traditional house. It was a very fun experience actually.... And I did get along with my household which is an old woman and she is very nice.



So first of all this is the house we stayed in. Located deep inside a small road and up in the hill.
When we go outside from the house, we will find a small and quite steep road.


This is the inside of the house... My house is considered as good.. Not so poor family...

 Me and my bestie as my roomate.


The old woman who owns the house... She lived with her husband and her niece. The house is very empty when her husband and her niece went to forest and work..


I took quite a lot photos there! Here are some of it...






Oh yeah, the house I stayed in have a small shed where there's a cute little cow, sheeps, and chickens!




I also did some helping in cooking, and go to the forest to take woods...





And then we also visited our friends in other houses in that village! 
We had a fun and interesting experience there and it was memorable.


candid photo....




 Till next time.

Notebook Doodle Compiliation

These are the doodles I did in my high school, in the boring lessons when I just don't know what fun things to do.... These are the only ones I managed to capture. Mostly I just threw them away because they become rubbish anyway if I bring it home. So these are my doodles, and I know it sucks, but it's just doodles what! 
I was just having fun scribbling it down in my notebooks~



They're just a random cat doodles.. Well now you can tell if I'm a cat lover... 



I don't understand myself. Why did I even make a doodle with cherry tomato writing? That's so random.


This was when Gangnam Style was at it's most popular moments... I kept hearing that song everywhere, so I drew this doodle while actually listening to it.



So this one is actually the best doodle so far? I spend the whole one subject drawing this....
Did it with a good mood la.



And this one was so random.... just what doodles are meant to be


Trying out different type of drawing.. Making it a bit more realistic


This last one is just an unfinished doodle, and will never be finished because I'm not planning to finish it.
Lost my feelings in drawing this already.



Till next time.

Painting Day

So this is the post I promised you I will give in my previous post....

That day was a fine sunny day, which is very good opportunity for me to make some artwork outside in my so-called "garden". I am in the mood for painting plants and flowers. So first, I need to get the tools ready  for drawing! 

 These are the tools I needed today! They are my Titi Watercolor in various colors, then my painting palette, a cup for filling water, watercolor brushes, pencils and eraser (inside the bunny pencilcase) and there's my Blackberry and earphones, the essential thing for drawing!! Because music really helps you to calm down and express your feelings to the art.

just a random shot I took.


THEN DRAWING STARTS NOW.

 Basic sketch of the plant using HB pencil


 Okay, now I've started coloring it from the leaves.


 Coloring the branches and the soil






AND 


AFTER LONG HOURS OF PATIENCE AND HARDWORK..............



 IT'S FINALLY DONEE!! YAYYYY


AH, what a good feeling i got from finishing this work. I am so happy to see the result! :D But I think that the color for the leaves are a bit wrong... Love the shading I did for the pot though, I think I did a good job that day because I never actually did painting like this..


Till next time.

IU

Have you guys heard of IU? She is a korean singer, and she's my favorite solo singer~ She doesn't belong in any bands. I heard that the management purposely do it because her voice is unique, and she won't sound good if she sings with other people. Her voice sounds good when she sings alone. So anyway, this is what she looks like if you don't know..


See how cute and pretty she is!! :D I was practicing my face proportion drawing that time, and I thought of myself since I like IU so much, why not do a potrait of her? So finally I drew her and this is the result!
It sucks... and doesn't look like her LOL but I don't care
Im quite proud of it since I put an effort in drawing it..





Looks so different but oh well...
I just need to keep practicing because practice makes perfect.

Till next time.

Billy the Cat

 Hi, this is Billy! he is a stray cat...
There's a lot of cats in Jakarta.... unlike here in Singapore.. and most of them are so skinny! Different with the cats here who stays near food places and all fat. :D


 He likes to come to my house everyday to get food. My maid is the one who usually gives him food, but sometimes she only plays around with him.... All my family members are okay with him, even some like him very much. I'm a cat lover, however I don't like him very much, but I'm okay with him. Except for my dad, he hates him so much.... The cat better stay far far away from my dad if it doesn't want it's butt to be kicked...literally.


I just don't know why can people hate cats. I mean, look at that innocent eyes!!!
*_*




Till next time.
