Not out yet.
Anyway, I have had an unofficial review about my performance in my 3D class. And according to my teacher, I am currently an A+ student. Yay! More details after the official thing tomorrow.
We are going to be glazing a bunch of tiles tomorrow to determine what kind of glaze we want to use for our cup :) I shall upload pictures of cups some other time in the future, together with the glazed cups :)
Some pictures of project 2. Glazed-press-molded figures

Test....
was ok. I think
Well, our teacher told us that there was going to be 10 multiple choice questions, but then... due to some "technical difficulties", we only had 3 of those, and 17 other fill in the blank questions. LE SIGH. In any case, I think I did quite well. We will know by next week I think. Cross your fingers!
The identification section was fairly easy.
BAH... we'll see next week.
OK, I'm going to stop repeating myself
BLAI

Sorry!
I apologize for not updating the blog as regularly as I used to. So, here's a little update for the past (few?) weeks.
School has been all right. Nothing unusual in particular. For 3D, we've started to work with porcelin, as well as clay. I have been making lots of cups that would eventually be fired and glazed (then fired again).
For 4D, we're starting on Final Cut Pro and that would last for about a month. It's funny how I was trying to figure out what's wrong with the program and I was sort of cut off from what the teacher was teaching. Fortunately, I was able to understand the idea that my teacher had in mind, and that had made it a whole lot easier (working with the program). I think I am going to enjoy using this program as I uncover the many functions and effects that it has to offer.
History classes, on the other hand, has been relatively interesting. I will be having my midterm for Modern Arts this thursday (cross your fingers), then Art History in about 2-3 weeks later. We have started on Buddhism (India) in class today. It is funny how I was asked to explain a little bit about the life of Buddha. I was kind of surprised, nevertheless, thrilled to be able to share my very limited knowledge of The One that was once known as Siddharta Gautama. However, it is unfortunate that I haven't been able to recall much of the details (hoping that this class would do the trick).
Last but not least, the Athena Project has had its ups and downs. Lots of paper in the near future, along with lots of hyper kids (which may, or may not be a good thing). I don't exactly know the direction of this class, but as usual, hoping for the best
Midterm reviews are this week, and I am somewhat excited to know what my teachers have to say about my performance in class thus far.
Weekend was spent in Chinatown as usual. In addition to that, I was taking lots of pictures due to the fact that it was the CNY weekend. And like I expected, there were lots of CNY decorations and items all over Chinatown. Did my usual grocery shopping, and convinced myself to buy a couple of things that I would have not had considered buying if it was not for CNY (chinese sausages, "lin go", and coconut shreds to make the dessert) The dessert turned out really well and was gone by the next day (obviously, some other people had slices and what not) I think I might try to see if they are selling the left overs so that I can make a second round of it before it goes obsolete for the next 12 months of the year. (p/s: pictures are on FB)
On Sunday, we went to town (SF) for pillow fight. Being the photo freak that I am, I was too busy trying to take photos that I have had no time to join in the mess (like yeah.. MESS). Basically, there were lots of pillows, people, hitting on each other. It was funny how 4 little kids were attacking an adult over and over again, to the point that the elder gave up and stayed on the floor. So yea, that was that, and I shall upload the pictures once I filter them some other time this weekend.
Just yesterday I made a all in one tofu, egg, tomato, minced meat dish that was absolutely delish. I shall upload the photo (like the usual hp quality ones) when I get home.
This weekend will be fun because of the dumpling party, which I am totally going to go to, since the CNY parade at SF will be on the weekend after. I am really excited because dumpling parties has never failed me in the past :)
Back to my history book. Before that,
Happy Chinese New Year
Take care

What a week
Three days of 3hrs per day. Let's hope the whole CNY hype thing will keep me sane (or not). Here's the link to my "blog" that took so much of my time to construct.

Project
So, ISAP is hosting an exhibition of works by international students. I was thinking about making something--I was thinking along the lines of shadow puppets. Problem is that I've been trying to alter the idea so that I spend the absolute minimum with this project. I think I'm getting there--but of course, I'll need to be willing to actually spend the time to make it.

Need to start studying for art history classes, as well as start with the writing assignments for the Athena Project (diversity studio), as well as the up and coming 4D assignment.
===
For 4D, we were required to get a 500-1TB hard disk (they actually recommended Lacie) - it costs approx. 150USD. I don't know if I should get it. Maybe me techno savvy cousin could give me some suggestions. As far as I'm concerned, the only pro is being that it transfers faster when I work with video. Also, I think I would rather invest the money on a new battery. But then, of course, getting more portable space isn't a bad idea (I don't know if its cheap).<-- I'll be waiting for your response

Wicked
I was touched, watching the play all over again. Naturally, there are differences in the singing style (since the casts varies from place to place). Nevertheless, I had a great time. For some odd reasons, I was exceptionally fascinated my stage play, particularly, the use of lights and props to achieve certain effects. I particularly liked the part where the "wicked witch" was floating in the sky. The effects were a little different from the ones that I saw previously (in Chicago, the version that I prefer). It seemed like they have added additional light sources to create the effect. Other notable mentions are the use of spot light that created shadows that were enclosed by the same light source. It was an interesting phenomenon for me. And of course, I was fascinated by their ability to project their voices according to the needed volume.
All in all, great stuff!

I ate 8 pieces of noodles
IN 2 MEALS...
That ought to tell you how tasty that dish was :D
===
Am thinking of a few ideas for exhibition for international students. Not mandatory, but thought that it'd be fun to do something. So far, I've thought of things that are generally 3 dimensional
• sculpture of a skull with the multi-ethnic theme, with detailed smaller faces that shapes the contour of the face
• modern wayang kulit with movable parts
lets see if I end up doing any of it
Cheers!

Pictographics?
Just a few pictures from a few days ago.
Had to put it in the server to upload it using the school's internet connection.
I guess the Internet connection in my dorms are horrendous after all
The very expensive King Tut exhibition: De Young, SF
Curry chicken and don't know what vegetable for dinner: Dorm, OAK
Weird mouse that I spotted: Library, OAK
Me in the plaster room, playing with plaster: Studio, OAK
Interesting packaging that I spotted: CVS, OAK
===
I am beginning to appreciate art history (even tho it's a lot to remember) :)

I should really quadruple check before I send in assignments through e-mails. Feel bad from spamming my teacher's e-mail account T_T
