come up to meet you
tell you i'm sorry
you don't know how lovely you are
i had to find you
tell you i need you
tell you i set you apart
tell me your secrets
and ask me your questions
oh let's go back to the start
running in circles
coming up tails
heads on a science apart
nobody said it was easy
it's such a shame for us to part
nobody said it was easy
no one ever said it would be this hard
oh take me back to the start
if we try to ask our selves about someone we're so in love with,
sometimes we just really have to know
do we really love them?
"you have changed."
"you're not the same anymore."
if we really love someone, would changes matter?
are we really loving the person, or just an illusion we have inside our minds, created by our memories of the past?
Yeah. It's a new year. End of semester (my college semester starts on July and end on January). For us art major students this means hell! -_- Back on new year's eve I went to a printing service to print my(late) A2 sized assignment, bought tools for exam preparations (which took place at January 5), and on the four first days of this new year I spent my days making product for the exam.
But the result was worth the sacrifice... I achieved an A for this 5 credits class and a 100 (yeah, perfect score, everyone!) for the last exam. The last exam was an exhibition with show reel play made by us students. This means that I haven't had any break since this new year. Not even a day :(
I still have 2 more assignments to finish and an exam coming up on January 16. *sighs*
Anyway I guess I'll just post some of the works I've done this semester. It's my batik studies, the result wasn't OK as I made so many mistakes and I'm not really proud of it, but well, here it is... :)

The original design...
It's a re-composition and modification of 2 traditional batik motifs, Srikaton and Parang Barong Bintang. I took several shapes and made modifications. This one doesn't even look like the original ones anymore :P
I got it colored (with watercolor) :)
Next up, I made a bigger (more than 1x1 m) sketch to be traced on the fabric
And here's the final work...
As you can see there's numerous changes made from the original design.
This was due to limitations (colors available, time, and my skill of course :P, etc)
The upper and lower part was made using printing technique and the main part was made using canting (batik hand painting) technique.
This is one conversation I had in Yahoo Messenger this morning. I set my YM status to "finally i can have more practice n_n", and then someone said:
-that person-: so what r u practicing?
me: cello.. :D
-that person-: ic...it's some kind of saxophone right?
me: no, it's a stringed instrument...*explains*
(my mind): what the...
-that person-: oh i know it, i guess i've ever seen it somewhere
-_-
