I went to the launch of Federico Tomasi’s Malaysian debut at Zinc last week!
The Swedish-Italian painter is known for his trademark action painting style,
and his fascination with human expression (as a reflection of society and history)
is the base for his latest collection of works called e)motion.
‘Tis called ‘action painting’ cos the art piece may look regular,
but in actuality it’s massive!
When you stand right in front of the painting,
it doesn’t look like much…
But when you step a few metres back,
wala!
“The expression on a face reflects a person’s state of mind
and I use faces as vehicles of expression.
In this series of works I wanted to create faces which transform themselves
so that they almost resemble masks,
where the eyes become life and soul,
the soul which hides behind a living mask.”
– Federico Tomasi
I kinda can’t wait to have my own place,
so i can start collecting art to put up…
would be sick sick sick!
Even more people to have on BBM (Blackberry Messenger = Free)
so i can save on SMSs!
SpankyCammy called me to ask what package i’m using and how much,
so i told her i pay RM60 a month for unlimited data and push email right now.
It’s basically a promotion where i pay RM2.50 a day (Mon-Fri)
then i get connection free for Sat + Sun.
Roughly RM60 a month la, if you count 4 weeks in a month (i had to write that cos i didn’t want some smartass calculating and saying i’m not counting right -_-)
I have so many other events and things to blog about,
but I HAD TO blog about this first!
Priority!
Utmost importance!
You might say i have my priorities all wrong,
but i am wrong anyway. SalahWrong. omg i’m so lame
Anyway RainbowGayDave tweeted about the Alice in Wonderland set up yesterday afternoon,
and i couldn’t wait to drag Clem there after work.
Told him about our exciting night plans,
to go see the Alice in Wonderland set up,
and he sat back on the sofa, looked at me,
and said: “Are you sure you’re 27?”
“Can we bring Wilson? We should bring Wilson!”
“No, he’s too young to go out.” “Whatttt, but he went out last Sunday anyway!”
“No no no.” “But it’s a GOLF BALL’S DREAM. All that fake grass and giant mushrooms!”
After some pleading, letting him have a beer,
and promising to sew on a button and wash his favourite football T (-_-”’)
we left for Mid Valley!
I didn’t realise i was practically running from the carpark
till he pulled me back gently and asked me not to rush :p
And… BEHOLD!
I looked up at the big mushrooms in awe and went,“Phwoarrrr!!!”
Till some person got in my way and Clem tried not to chuckle at my super tiulan face.
“When we have a garden, i want mushrooms JUST LIKE THIS!” “No! There will be no space!”
“Then we get a bigger garden!” *flails out arms* “No!”
“Why NOT!?” “We’ll talk about this when we have the garden okay. -_-“
Wilson in Wonderland, tee hee
You know the kind of smile that kids give,
when you push them to take a picture?
Yeah, it just hit me that’s the smile i’m giving.

mustard leggings; topshop
ikura necklace; aldo
accs; bkk + ashes boutique
watch; nooka
Here’s the schedule for activities there!
“I wonder whether they’d let me enter the Colouring Contest on Friday…” i asked in all seriousness. “They might have a little star there (disclaimer) saying it’s just for children.” “That would really suck. Life is unfair.”
+ + +
Okay gotta run and do my make up.
I’m Nurita Harith‘s muse for the Stylo event today.
Then i have heaps of things to do before Bali on Saturday!
Wee!
Last Saturday night, i was crazy full from a family dinner and extremely tired,
so Clem went out for some drinks with his friends,
and came back around 2.
“Look what i found!” he held up an item. “What’s that… a golf ball?” “Yeah!” “Ooh-kay… where did you find it?”
He found it on the ground and decided to take it home
“I SEE. So you decide to take this golf ball home because it’s really special..?”
He then proceeded to tell me the marvels of a golf ball.
After the fiasco,
he left the golf ball on the table by the door.
The next morning,
i woke up early to run some last minute CGYT errands,
and caught sight of the ball before i left.
I picked it up,
showed it to him remember what you brought home last night? laughed,
and left.
Later at Palate Palette,
i couldn’t help telling my friends about Clem’s marvelous golf ball
(cos it was too funny)
and i knew they’d totally get it.
When he arrived,
he told me people practically pounced on him,
asking about his golf ball (LOL)
And of all surprises, he actually brought it out.
ClaudiaOnCrack asked him what its name was,
and Clem confidently replied Wilson.
Apsahahah helped him draw a face on Wilson,
so he’d be more smiley.
(This all went on while i was playing with SarChan so i knew nothing btw)
Later that day,
we accidentally lost Wilson,
and spent 2 drunk hours trying to find him -_-
I asked random strangers whether they’d seen him. “Have you seen Wilson? We’ve LOST him!” “What does he look like?”
“Oh he’s a golf ball… our pet golf ball.” “… no we haven’t seen a golf ball…”
“Aww okay thanks! *dashes off*”
I even made an announcement on the mike.
Jimmy told me he thought he saw Wilson go downstairs,
so i went down to look for him
We finally found him behind the sofa.
(Though we’re highly suspicious Jimmy and his friends knew he was there all along
cos it was Jimmy who moved the sofa away.
You sent me on a wild ball chase didn’t you!)
Anyway Wilson’s safe at home now.
He sits on the dressing table,
amongst other rocks Clem collected.
I told him about Baba’s Rock (story for another day) that sits on my dressing table at home,
and how maybe i can bring it to be friends with his rocks. “I don’t know,”he said,“Maybe they don’t want to be friends with him.” “Why NOT? Because he’s a black rock? You can’t be racist with rocks!” i screeched
But i’m being an irresponsible blogger
and too busy pak tohing to er blog yesterday
and will be out all day today!
Twinkies X Cat Got Your Tongue was a success!
Or maybe in my head it was cos i was so tipsy -_-
But NO!
People were smiling, drinking, laughing;
it got really crowded at around 8pm,
and i met so many new nice people that night!
Spent the whole of Monday in bed recovering from the pain,
and laughing over things that happened the day before.
Was going to blog about the Federico Tomansi exhibition at Zinc last week,
but running out of time cos i’m supposed to meet Justin from Materiel
and i haven’t changed yet!
Here’s one pic of the leggings i wore last week. THE leggings i can barely bring myself to wear cos i love them so much.
But what’s the point of buying them if i don’t wear right…
Christopher Kane x Topshop eyelet mesh leggings
Will blog about a new pet Clem & i got, later tonight.
Well, he actually got it, not me (which is surprising cos i’m usually the one bringing home strays)
I know, i know,
it’s a bit early for us to get a pet as a couple,
but i’m pretty sure we can manage this one.
For awhile, i was pondering whether to write about my new boyfriend.
Throughout my years of writing about relationships,
i sometimes get really nasty and hurtful comments
from anonymous readers that would upset me then.
I think now i’m stronger in taking these in stride,
and not giving a shit what anyone says as long as *i’m* happy.
Also, i was at a point of how to separate public and private things on my blog.
Problem is, by not writing about something that means so much to me
and takes up so much of my activities and thoughts throughout the day,
also meant that i’m really falling for commercialism.
Because my blog was started to remind me of my life.
Of things i go thru.
The funny experiences i have.
What makes me laugh every day.
What makes me happy.
