Spent my whole day doing VRC final assignment - painting. Didn't complete as much as I would have liked to though; I just finished the base colours. In class that day, I bought two tubes of paint; black and gold. Gooold, it's so pretty~ *.* It didn't really come out that well on the canvas though, but maybe it needs a little setting in and layering. Hope it comes out well!
Beautiful colours <3
(p.s. The canvas looks nothing as beautiful as this piece of tissue.)
OK! I am stopping my progress on VRC for today. Hmm, feeling a tiny bit guilty because I feel like I had not done enough. :/ I sincerely hope that my work turns out alright omg. I had never tried painting on canvas before and I honestly don't know how it will turn out. ;_; Acrylic is my best friend on paper... but I'm not sure on canvas.
The deflated (and smudged) balloon that I got from Spooky Carnival.
I used Sharpie to draw the patterns.
Lunch this afternoon with sis, accompanied by cats.
Re-cap on yesterday!
I checked on Light because Po Po said she is quite big already. Yup, she has grown. Each time I see her size increasing, I get a little bit worried. She has learnt to struggle and I no longer can selfie with her because I can't comfortably hold her with one hand anymore. Her shell has gotten scary-looking too; sharper edges, manlier look. I'm OK with baby tortoises but I'm not so sure with adult tortoises. >.< I am a bit afraid of them because they look like scary, armoured reptiles. But then again, I never used to have any problems with reptiles so I should be fine. I can say that I am more comfortable with reptiles than with mammals...
I am aware her water is dirty - I cleaned it right after.
Her claws are getting bigger.
Po Po said she is increasingly more afraid of people and I am just hoping that she wouldn't start getting aggressive. :( For now, she doesn't bite (and wish she never will). She just struggles, but seems to calm down if I sandwich her between my palms. Let her feel my heat. She used to like being there because my hands feel like a shelter that she can hide in, but now she only stays still for a while before wanting to crawl again. She's still not an active swimmer though... *sigh* I still love you all the same, don't worry. It's just that reptiles don't feel love the same way mammals do.
Our present to her that we bought from USS <3
She's quite small, so lovely :)
It has been such a looong time since I've seen such a small baby. For a moment, I mistakenly thought she was a new born lol. Mom said we were so much smaller when we were that age. I can't imagine. @.@ Baby Averie is small enough already. Btw, I have this pic as my lock screen image. :)
While we were eating, Mom, Jean and Jean's friend started talking about their stories; the contractions and birth. Sis and I were horrified. I know since some time ago that it is scary and I was kinda afraid of being pregnant (because of the stories) but yesterday, I gained an extra level of knowledge. @.@ Just WOW.
I once had period pain, just that once when it was really painful, and I wondered to myself if this is how it feels to have contractions. I felt like dying; it was so terrible. Luckily for me, I don't have much period pains. That time was the worst of it all, and I don't want it to come back. :( Damn it. But if I want to have kids, I'll have to go through this. Unless I adopt of course.
Omg feeling lazy now... Waiting for Mom to bring us dinner~ I should lie on my bed.
~*~*~*~
I remembered a conversation during VRC class. Our final assignment is a canvas-based project titled My Self. It was the hardest assignment yet (for me). One of the ideas include drawing images that represents your heritage and a few of us were talking about Malayan animals. Tiger, hornbill, deer.
"I feel like drawing cats, but they aren't national animals..." - classmate
"Draw HB3 cats." - me
And we all laughed. That's about how close we are to the cats to be able to include it into our work.
Btw, through Mr. Amir's Instagram, I was able to find out able his travel blog. How amazing it is. *.* He's like a real traveler! I wish I could be like him; visit special places, off the beaten track, so different. Just wow. I am impressed with the way he wrote the blog too; it's so traveler-ish haha. Sounds like one of the personal travel books I can find in bookstores.
