Mid-year examinations are still on-going, however, I'm considered lucky that tomorrow is a public holiday (Labour Day) and I do not have to take any paper on Friday, hence I've the next 4 days to prepare for the rest of the papers I'll be taking.

Of which, it's of course the "faithful" art paper.

It's kind of a irony that I'll be doing the practical paper alone (as an art student) in the same classroom as the rest of my classmates while they do their theory paper on DnT. Won't I disturb them? Like... what if my water for painting spills... or... I start speaking to myself or observe people around me (like I always do) in the midst of the paper?

Anyway, the theme given is "Space", and I was supposed to start preparing 3 weeks ago. Gosh, I still have no idea what I want to do for my final piece, how am I going to work on my supporting studies, which I'm suppose to be at least three-quater done by now but I haven't even started??? There're so many limitations, how am I going to produce something I call my inspiration? Must I really make use of the techniques which I don't really like that I've learnt the first half of this year? It's not my style if you're talking about personal style of an artist. Daddy said that I should just hand in a blank sheet of paper because that IS Space. Many others agree too! It's a little ridiculous, but, hey, art is about interpretation, it's how each individual have his or her own opinion on an artpiece, you can't restrict me or throw in other ideas to flush my initial creation?!?

Well, I've been trying to search for books of M.C. Escher, an artist who was really bad in his academics but creative in artistic ideas which even wow-ed the mathematicians. I'm sure many of you will find his works cool, interesting and really, I mean physically out of the box.
