College

Last Stretch of the Seventh

March 17, 2013 – 8:45 PM

Today is my last school day for my seventh school term and tomorrow morning I will be presenting my final major project. To say that I am a bunch of nerves at the moment would be an overstatement because I have been flailing about for the past twelve hours (I have not slept at all as of yet) and for now I think I’ve used up all my energy that I just can’t be bothered to be nervous anymore.

While I am no longer nervous, I am now suffering from a mild headache. And by “mild” let me further illustrate to you how it feels like:

All exaggeration aside I’m actually quite okay, in fact I just want to fast forward to tomorrow morning and get all this over with because I am just so excited to do all the things I want to do this term break and I feel guilty whenever I indulge myself on them before I’m even officially on vacation :wthstare: Stupid conscience I’m the first to present in my batch tomorrow so I’m basically going to taste freedom first aw yiss :devil:

A few hours ago I humored myself with these Japanese (?) generators and if you like to procrastinate as much as I do then you will enjoy the ones I’ve listed here. Here’s my favourite result:


Irony

Anyway I should probably continue working on the small stuff I’ve been putting off over the weekend… sigh… if only sheer willpower was enough to get things moving

An Illustrated Adventure

March 10, 2013 – 12:03 AM

Drawing has always been something I’ve enjoyed doing. When words would fail me I try my hand at expressing my emotions visually but oftentimes I get even more frustrated at my inability to make my hands create what I see in my mind, which is almost always the case. Despite this I continue drawing anyway, and although not every piece satisfies me I still share most of them online. As in the words of my friend: “Posting my art makes me feel like I tried.” Wise words. :approve:

As I am nearing the completion of my graphic design diploma course, I’ve been thinking about how much I’ve changed ever since I started two years ago. One thing lead to another and I found myself wondering about how much my drawings have changed over my stay here in Singapore as well, and as I compiled all of my lineless drawings since the beginning of my college adventure, I was quite amazed at how different my ~drawing style~ has become.

This post is about a journey, much like how this animation illustrates. At the beginning it’s not that refined, but it gets better over time. Like my drawing, this is how I picture my own artistic adventure and my life in general, and I hope you’ll stick around to see through this particular episode right through until the end! :purplew:

Join me as I take a look at three years’ worth of drawings and make fun of my older illustrations :devil: (Note: this is a picture heavy post)

Happy 5th Birthday, CrazYanka! :-)

March 5, 2013 – 9:11 PM

*sigh* I wasn’t able to prepare anything for today and I feel really bad because I never celebrate my site’s anniversary! :ohnoes: Considering how CrazYanka launched on the fifteenth of March 2008, I still have some time to cook something up… It’s the last two weeks of my school term and since I’m doing my final major project for my diploma, things have been pretty tense!! I’m also the first person set to present in my batch, so there’s some additional pressure there too. Wish me luck on it!

How to Prepare Kimbap… in the eyes of the one who would eat it

January 27, 2013 – 7:51 AM

I personally do not know how to prepare kimbap, so this run-through is basically just me retelling how my mom ends up creating her little masterpieces! She makes them so effortlessly, but this is my mom we’re talking about, so I’m pretty sure that the whole process takes some skill and patience. There are a lot of tutorials on how to prepare kimbap on the internet, so here’s how the whole process looks like to a girl who is exceptionally unskilled in the field of cooking.


First she cooked each component of the kimbap separately. There has to be a visual balance in terms of colours, as well as a dietary balance with respect to the food pyramid. For this particular set, my mom prepared eggs, chicken, green vegetables (kangkong), carrots, and pickled radish. She likes to mix it up on other days, like using spam instead of chicken.
