Dali's Alice in Wonderland

Dali's Alice in Wonderland, originally uploaded by jonolist.

One of the better lit Dali sculptures that can be found around town these days..they have this surreal quality at night with the shadows and how it stands still among the bustling crowd and yet seem so alive.

of biennale and Hay Piahs

Molly, Andrea, Owen (aka Andrea's), Thomas and I went for Hay Piah at Hill Street today! woohooooo!!!!!!!!


hmmm...unfocused: To the left is Owen and the right is Molly trying to capture the Ngoh Hiang Guan Chiang in all its glory.




And then we we walked the calories away (yeah right? as if it's possible to walk off a haypiah's worth of calories) to City Hall for some Biennale-ing. Met JY there and took alot of pics...even if we knew we weren't suppose to......heck lah...



Thomas in Pink (as usual) viewing Muhanned Cader's wall installation in charcoal.



Jane ALexander's Verity, Faith and Justice, the manipulated deformed twisted half human half monkey whatever were so disturbing they had ot put a PG sign at the entrance..ain;t too bad actually.


Jeon Jun Ho's In God We Trust, a video installation. 8 Minutes or so of just watching some korean stuff... not drama, not your usual Da-Chang-Jin shite.



Molly Me Jy and Thomas in YKONs M8 Summit of Micronations...we had a good time there laughing...yes laughing which was what your suppose to do..or so we thought.


Here's JY making Thomas laugh like he just watched Pablo Francisco for the first time...it was seriously contagious.

And now for some good stuff....abeilt disturbing but good. Donna Ong's Secret Interiors : chrysalis, 4 installations at 4 secret locations in the City Hall (which reminds me of Miaoling's P3 project for City Hall...hmmm)





ahhh dolls in water!

Owen left for something before we went to the National Museum for more Biennale.


Archi -ike stuff...Manglano-Ovalle's Iceberg

and then my favourite among all...so good I had to go there twice


Mariko Mori's Tom Na H-iu...I can spend hours here...so calming...... so magical..the space the sound the lights everything...

and of course we had to take a group pic..


At the back entrance of the National Museum....with some dunnoe what dried up berry or something..

next stop Tanglin Camp...wanna come?

Mystery body part

No worries this ain't prono or something of that sort but yeah before you puke your ____(insert last meal eaten here) in the keyboard scroll down for the answer yeah.

Car Ride

Car Ride, originally uploaded by jonolist.

Came back from a hearty dinner and felt extra drowsy especially after working the whole day....at the back of the car this is what you see.

to top it all off Coldplay's Yellow was playing in the background...

"......look how they shine for you
look how they shine
look at the stars look how they shine for you "

I heart Korean BBQ

The Korean exchange students decided to hold a BBQ party at PGP. Yeah PGP in that out-of-the-way-hill in the middle of nowhere, meaning I had to make travel all the way to school and then some more...but heck it was worth it!

Wah lau! so much food and so much more alcohol and along with the Korean students ( who are like the friggin best drinkers this side of Asia has ever seen) was the ideal combination for a good mid sem celebration. Anyhoo it was good to mix around with the rest of the studio who on usual school days have rare chance to interact, let alone drink beer and get wasted with. Ah good times...

Here are some of the "things" that happen, note the inverted commas because life got abit trippy for those few hours.

Here's Wang Kai on his way to being wasted...wah lau I never saw this side of him before...and no I didn't meant for it to be some "Last Supper" shot but its what you get when you have alcohol and food on a long table.




Nicky(pre-wasted) and Man Chun


Nicky Trying to get Wasted


Nicky VERY VERY wasted...along with Bhotish


Here's Kian Wee wasted..and Bhots at it again.


JY drinks! wah lau! rare sight




Jy and Me half drunk, note that we drink the same amount of booze but he still remains ever so white....wah lau eh his liver got problem.


Here's Huilian drinking too!




Here's Xinjia drinking! i think Coke or wine or was it Shoujo? whatever..it was just one yum seng after another.


All this drinking because we played some imported drinking games called "baskin robbin 31" and "catch the mouse"...yes...they may sound childish but its damn fun....damn fun under the influnce of alcohol that is...






And of course some lame dance moves and drunken group shots














Here's most of us....How come I'm the only one in Ultra Man mode? Jae (sitting next to me) really loves his korean beer. He's drinking some Shoujo thing which is the stuff the Koreans like to get drunk on, they say it has some..erm frog in it. I LIKE that frog beer alot man, damn nice. Its 16 bucks here but back home they say it cost only 1.50? like what the? Like that I also wanna go exchange!


More pictures can be found here...unglam and otherwise...if you want it in softcopy i'll pass it to you in Thumbdrive in studio yay...for now enjoy the Holidays!

Oh man this history Hybrid report is infecting me...

bridge

Came back from school after a late night useless lecture, you know another one of those you never really understand after the first hour cuz the only thing on your mind is the fastest route home and television kinda lecture?.... And what do you do when you have your tripod and camera with you when you reach home? You take night shots....

Presenting to you: Bridge

The bridge that links my block to the wonderful birdshops and kopitiams across the street.

flaws are wonderful

There are tonnes or gigs (in the case for digital films) of flawed pictures hiding in the depths of my harddisk and under the influence of flu medication i came to realise the vast amounts of "lousy" shots I take. The overexposed, the unfocused, the trigger happy moments that overwhelm you or even the accidental click of the shutter release.













Rather than delete them (which I discourage highly unless your short of disk space) We should take a second look at them. No! don't say you learn from your mistakes, don't avoid them but rather celebrate that random poorly taken shot of yours.
