First lesson
Remember I almost lost my choice of elective?
We had the first lesson for design and illustration today! It's loads of fun! We aren't expected to be able to draw perfectly and at least at the end of the semester, we should be able to improve our skills by a level or two.
The last time I was crazily into illustrations was two years ago. And drawing has always been fun! We did something simple today. We were split into "tribes". So each "tribe member" should critique his members' work.
Since it's an elective, the class is made up of interesting people from different classes. There is someone who sketches on a daily basis and on the end there is another who is afraid of drawing yet inspires to be involved in the field. Okay I'm not gonna be all cliched and talk about their inspirations blah blah blah. -_-
Something exciting! For us to be able to illustrate digitally, each of us is loaned a tablet for the semester! Yay! I swear Sam was soooo jealous when I boasted about it to her. Yes Sam I did it on purpose. It's better than your camera pen. -_- She wants a pen that has a camera attached to it so that it'd record whatever she writes. And it costs RM800. For a tiny little pen!
And finally I get to learn how to use Adobe Illustration!
Tomorrow, we'll be going on our first field trip. It's Singapore Designers' Day. I'm not sure what we'll be exposed to. But with the reputation of the firm, it should be quite intriguing. It has worked with clients like Calvin Klein, etc.
Anyway, one of the class work required us to blog about our experiences and our reflections on design, advertising typography in particular. I hope to update it at least once a week since the class's fun!
I just wrote my first post, go have a look and comment! =)

On a side note, I went SWIMMING today! -_- No correct that. I went to LEARN swimming today. Note the difference?
This time round, the victim's Sam, oh my poor roommate! I don't think I have to explain how horrendous my victims usually end up like. She's the 5th person (I think so? Lost count.) trying to teach me how to swim properly. I'll see how long she'll persevere. HAHA.
Well technically, I can swim *I think*. Just that I can't coordinate my arms and legs to catch my breath out of water. That means most of the time I run out of breath before I finish 2 strokes. -_-
My instructor was so distracted today. Oogling at guys, going "aww" at kids. Sigh. And there was an uncle doing some odd stretching exercises. He was moving his hips back and forth, for more than 30 mins I SWEAR.
The more time I spend with Sam, the more I find myself abnormal. She agrees that I'm abnormal *big sad face*. I can't float on my back, because the water was ticklish (?!!). My butt's too heavy so it's always sinking. And I have a talent! I can sink to the bottom of the pool and lie flat on the ground. (Please clap, thank you.) -_-
Oh and our stupid conversation,
Sam: Sharon you need to move your hands down *demonstrates* so that you can thrust the water.
Sharon: What do you mean? Thrust the water? T-H-R thrust or T-R trust?
Sam: Uh... you need both.
Anyway, I want to thank my dear dear roommie for putting up with me today! And for pulling out the stooooooopid thorn on my foot! (I slipped from a small slope and stepped on a grass patch then the thorn went inside. Damn stupid can. -_-)
Eeee so girly/geli (?) hoh? XD I'm normal for the first time! HAHAHA.
