Hello, it's been a long time! This is the me who has pretty much turned hikikomori and socially stupid after months of hanging out with my best buddies, my studies. I was trying to emulate my O-levels determination where I hardly touched any form of recreation at all, so I banned sites involving most social media, k-pop, tumblr and all that jazz ( Read more... )

I MISSED YOU. I LOVE YOU. I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK. REUNION SOON, OKAY, WHEN I GO ON MY TERM BREAK AND MADDY COMES BACK FROM THE LAND OF PORN.

1. omgggg those look sinful!!! Pictures of food don't normally make me salivate but yours do... tell me what this magical place is called and where it is, please!

2&3. your artwork is breathtaking. i actually got goosebumps looking at these - and these are just thumbnails! i was literally sucked into a different world both haunting and beautiful and i want to know exactly what was going through your mind when you conceived these pieces. i've had the great privilege of watching you grow over the past two years - as a person, in confidence, in intellect, as an artist, in love... ahhh, to know that you are still the same person i love and do silly things with yet can be all srs bsnss with - it's amazing to know that someone like you is my friend :') ♥

4. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!you deserve all the confetti canons and celebratory cakes in the world! \0/ i'm sure that dissatisfied feeling will toil ( ... )

HAHAHA THANK YOU, I'm glad my photos managed to bring that across!! I'm semi-regretting taking pictures now because I'm getting a huge craving as well. (๑◕︵◕๑) The place is Let's Sweets at Bugis Junction. Lunch hour there is the best because they keep replacing all the food with piping hot new ones. * A ( ... )

btw i also wanted to say this - i recently realised that your "sub rosa" is the pictorial depiction of the exact kind of books i love to read: poignant, terrifyingly, beautifully human with a dose of surreality (because what's the point in reading books if the lives they depict occur in the same realm as ours?)

HARO HARO MY NAPO CHAN dob dob dob dobbykins~!
In hindsight we can analyse how those lovely desserts have contributed to our current physical states, harhar. OTL;;;;;;

LOL I AM BACK INTO.. MANGA FANDOM but as of now it is only for X and Silverspoon and Kuroshitsuji.

haha i think its quite interesting how i suck so badly about talking about my work even though i have the extrovert image and you talk so confidently about yours while you have the introvert image XD

Welcome back, jiejie!

I'm so glad for you now that your As are over and everything. It's just the horrible 6 months (or so??) wait for results + acceptance into university now, isn't it? Nonetheless i hope you enjoy your well deserved break!! ; 3 ; ;; It's been a lonely few months without you!

UWAHHHHHHHH those food look delicious. I wish i knew where i can find food like those in Toronto without them being too expensive. I found a cake shop downtown with the most delicious looking cakes but oh my god, one tiny piece would cost me around 7/8 dollars. ):

Your art looks really amazing! I think you have definitely improved over the years -- even if you may not see so yourself. I wish i could see the details that you've put into the works, though. ): Did you get to keep your actual printed ones? o:

Again, hope you get good results! I'm surprised though, why did you take the SATs? It's not required in Singapore, is it? Or are you planning to apply to a US school? And how was the SATs anyway? ;;

♥ !
I bet these six months will pass by quickly though! Thank you ;///;

Umm i think we might have? I don't really know since i don't eat fast food often. But the thing about this is -- different regions of the world have different menus. So something that's in Singapore might not necessarily be in Toronto. Uwahh yes, that'd be nice! ;;

Ohh please do! Or maybe just pick some parts of the paintings to show the details? That would be nice too! * ____ * Aww, that sucks, but still -- it must have felt so amazing to see the paintings printed out, even if you only got to be with them for a short while ;;

Ahhh, keep your heads up! Although if it was an art school, they shouldn't look at your SAT scores as much. They'll require a portfolio and maybe interviews though. And for cost... orz well, scholarships and maybe part time jobs? Although art is already a costly medium hahaha ;; I hope you did well on your SATs, nonethless! ;;

Hmmm that's very true! Hopefully they have some classics that are distributed everywhere! ... though, it's good to keep away from fastfood. XD Man, you have good tolerance. When I go out with my friends, it's pretty inevitable that we wind up eating fastfood which is relatively cheaper. orz unhealthy unhealthyyyyy

Hehehe okay, it's my honour that you want to look at them closely! > < I've uploaded them here! Sorry, I had to scale it down a lot and use jpeg compression (I usually use .tif for viewing/printing) so it might not look that good, ahhh stupid file upload limitations. But hopefully it should still be big enough to see the details ( ... )

Those dessert photos..! How do you guys manage to make them look so good, I've never been able to take a decent looking photo and modify it to look marginally appealing. AAagh, I'm craving some ice-cream now.

Reading again about all the school pain you had to go through...Man. Have a hug. At least it's over now AND YOUR ART EXHIBITION DUDE CONGRATS AGAIN. That's a great opportunity to make a name for yourself and I'm glad you got it! And those paintings...so neat! I love the colours and the perspectives in the first and fourth ones are great. Also, hellooo, Mr.Horseman. You've got plenty of great ideas, so take advantage of them and forget about conventions. If not even art is about expressing yourself, then what is?

Shut up, I am here to talk about fandom and nerdy stuff. If you think you're alone, then you should see my posts..All wind and tumbleweeds. And I don't know how to make new friends so eeeeh Anyway! I love Gintoki too. How could you even think he was a useless oyaji, shame on you, Dora. Hibari as in KHR's Hibari, right? ( ... )

Ehehehe the secret to it is... lots of cropping and colour/contrast manipulation! You're a great icon-maker (though I doubt you have time these days to do graphics as much as before anymore D":) so it'll be easy for you too ( ... )

Sorry for the late reply! dijeh December 15 2011, 21:23:34 UTC
Haha, yup, I've tried that before and it looked like shit but OH WELL seems I've lost my incredible talent lol. I'm kind of done with making icons too, except for, well, myself. (and you if you ever want one ( ... )

aye, it's no problem, mate! ciette December 17 2011, 14:00:26 UTC
oh you, thanks Ayumu!! ♥ haha at some point i did want to get into graphic making, but i never had enough dedication because... i'm not that community-oriented ohohoho. kudos to you.

Exactly!! Not to mention, when someone starts a radically new style, most people would reject it at firs.t I mean hey, wasn't that what you said? Oh well, we're all walking contradictions.
No sweat, dude! It's actually interesting to talk to you like that 8D ehehe.

I know what you mean. It took me a little too long to start liking such mature characters - though I think it was partly because many main characters were really popular, which led me to think they were overrated. (I mean, Naruto was a small boy and I never liked him much) HAHA YES I AGREE, since Sorachi pretty much screwed all of them up in one way or another for the genre, heh. Though I would like to see a Gin in love sometime. I just... can't see it happening. That guy seems plenty hormonal (maybe not as much as Shinpachi but still) but I just can't seem to visualise him in a relationship ( ... )
