I always remember the time during OBS when I was kayaking with jo at chek jawa…. I remember feeling like it was so much easier just giving up with the paddling because we were not moving forward anyway… but I knew that if any of us stopped paddling, we would soon be drifting backwards.
Somehow that experience is exactly how I feel with my workload now! I have so much work and I don’t see myself progressing as the minute I finish something, another assignment comes along. I feel like giving up and leaving my work blank yet I know I will soon be falling behind if I do.
That’s when art comes into the picture. It acts as the balance, I guess. Yet you can’t be doing both art and other well-structured subjects together… I mean art is supposed to be more fluid and spontaneous isn’t it? hui huan told me that all artists have ‘artist block’ all the time. i suppose that is true too.
Anyway, amidst all the work, i talk to val (her space is just facing mine) and we end up talking about spice girls and the past and everything gets all nostalgic as though we are two old ladies recalling our childhood. It is so funny! Especially when we start discussing her baking (she loves it) and how she is going to get her supplies from phoon huat, I start feeling really old. Haha.
Time really flies.
Till the next time lapse after icac! (:
