"to the praying mother, the worried father, let your children go~"

I have no idea why but I really find myself please-d when I read a well written, well punctuated and well grammar-ed article off some blog I bump upon. I'm not saying that my articles are exemplary for those mislead ed people, it's just this personal pleasure in reading extremely clear and straight to the point posts. Maybe the fact that everything is just so finely and systematically laid out right in front of you makes you feel, well, well-informed. I wonder if your grasp of the English language naturally gets tighter when you grow older but I hold on to that hope at least, for the moment. Alright, since that's off the bat, on to the real topic here.

I've made sure that the font size for my posts are readable, it was an extreme eyesore before due to its tiny size. I have no idea why I'm more motivated to actually update my blog now. Maybe that's due to me resigning from my job recently and living a rather sloppy lifestyle. Sure it's all fun in the beginning but you'll run out of things to do sooner or later. On a side note, listening to The All-American Rejects gives you an induced sense of calmness. Try it.

Oh yeah, since we were on the topic of Art in my previous post, I'd might as well share the times I had with another two not-so-arty farty dude stuck in a very, very weird class with people who tries very hard to embrace the meaning of Art. It's kind of a losing battle though. The journey of me in a room with a majority of peoples that are trying to find their identity somewhat or another in Art. Me? I was forced. I clearly stated and proven with my result that I was better in Design and Tech, but no, they placed me in Art. Which smart guy up there actually thought I would be happy about it but lucky for them, I was an anti-social dude who had nothing to do with the world. So yeah, luckily though, or maybe unluckily if you put it in another context, I was together with these two dudes who are kind of known to be great at drawings. Though they were my two friends who I clinged upon through the two years I tried understanding Art.

Though whatever that has happened in that class was rather insignificant except for the fact that the three of us, these three dudes are nowhere in the current dimension most of the time. Most of the time we're singing, OK well Rauff singing, Zali tapping his fingers and me humming the guitars to some song we agreed upon. Figures out, everyone actually knows we're doing it but didn't bother nudging us to shut up or anything cause every one's in their own world too. Talk about hilarious, since that got me thinking, who were the people who actually bothered listening to the teacher? When we're suppose to be drawing some art related stuff, we were drawing, well it's still art-related, cartoons on our sketch book. OK fine, someone ought to get sick and tired of drawing the same old bottle again and again. For goodness sake, give us something else.

So what is this issue about me not completing my art work for my 'O' level submission? To tell you the truth, I had no shard of energy left to complete it. Figuratively, I was just 10% left to completion but I just couldn't drag myself anymore to complete it. The preparatory work was extremely energy draining and agonising which left me literally devastated of intangible energy. Fine, that was rather over dramatic but what do you expect when I couldn't even remember that the deadline was just in 2 hours time and I was still at home snoring. You get the picture right? So how come I still got a C6 for my Art? Well, I had well, honestly speaking voluntary effort from people which I didn't remember asking for relief. I had my own teacher trying to finish up my art piece with a couple of very random people painting the spiders. I was pasting my cut up drawings meant for preparatory work onto my huge black piece of abysmal cardboard which is suppose to serve as my preparation to the Art piece I was about to submit. Shockingly, to my own dismay, the art piece was actually completed and done. To all the people who helped me, intentionally or unintentionally through out the period of time, to be exact 2 hours to submission time, thank you for all your effort. Though, the lousy thing is, at the end of the day, I didn't even bother including Art in my L1R5 or R4 for the matter. Talk about an undeserving asshole huh? Though, either way, I appreciate you guys effort and from the deepest depth of my heart, Thank You, for pulling me through even when my sole being has forsaken my own art piece.
