We've just received the latest assignment. If only it's an essay and that's it. We're required to individually create a podcast of ourselves and in it, we have to talk abt whether we agree or disagree with something (in the question). Supposed to make use of what we've learnt in our 4 lectures plus all the readings.
Oh my God...
Podcast... Recording ourselves talking for 3 min and not just talking nonsense mind you... but must have substance. After which got to upload online for everyone's viewing pleasure.
Why must things be made until so complicated. I really don't see the rationale behind doing certain things. Many a times, things are made complicated for the sake of appearing as interesting. Novel. Many a times, things are required to be done for the sake of having it done. Nobody knows the reason behind doing it. Questioning wouldn't change anything. So all of us can only curse and swear at the back.
Machiam all of us sit and shake legs at home after half day of school only?
The last time I had to do a short speech during lesson alone was during my Effective Communication tutorial at NUS. There was a recording done at the same time. It's the most traumatizing thing ok? Oh no. Sorry that's not the last time. The last time was when Mediacorp wanted to do an interview regarding my grandpa. Now, strangely, that wasn't as scary because I was free to air my views and personal thoughts while at the same time, knowing that any shitty part would be edited (read: cut off) from it made me feel more at ease.

Starry Starry Night...
Paint your palette blue and grey...
I'm thinking of doing on Da Vinci's Starry Starry Night. It's rather cliche I know and that's the only thing that's making me reconsider my option. One thing about choosing that is that during the presentation, I can create a different feel by maybe play the song Starry Night to get everyone into the mood. Now, that would be a very different and fresh idea wouldn't it? At the same time, I hope to replicate (or modify) the painting by doing my own smaller scale version using oil paint.
I remember Art Club at JJ once did a banner by using paint to create an replica of the painting. It was great from what I remember now. The strokes... the banner...
Question is, would I have the time to do the painting? :(
