yes, CNY is fiften days but unfortunately universities don't pay heed to that :(

so we're all stuck in school once again. sigh.

today my photomontage and explanation is due, so i'll be submitting it later. thank goodness for once, i'm actually DONE with something, with SOME TIME TO SPARE.

ok i'll stop.
hahahaha.
but that's what i've been doing.. last night and today. and i'll have a lot more of that to do... i forsee for the whole of tonight, right after inter-school boggle and inter-hall dance rehearsal.
the preliminaries are this saturday morning, and we haven't settled costumes, yay!

a least i know where it'll be now.

right now we're learning about the one-point perspective, under the category of Illusionary Depth.

The one-point perspective theorises that some pictures are vastly rich in detail, but everything converges at one particular point, and without it, everything else in the picture collapses.

we are also learning about the vanishing point, a place behind the main figure of a picture that cannot really be seen--that seems to disappear.

I find the one-point perspective rather interesting because of how uncannily it applies to life.

All of us in our lives set out to do millions, billions, trillions of different things. from the most trivial acts or behaviour, to taking on the largest and most challenging of projects, but it all hinges on one thing: that we're alive and able to do all these things.

if that one point of convergence was taken away from us, everything falls apart and is destroyed immediately.

everything that we've done, everything that we've been doing, and everything we've wanted to do with the rest of our lives.

everything would be gone.

if that one thing were to be taken away.

and before long, we'd simply become a speck, a vanishing point. we'd vanish behind a myriad of new people, new things, new activities, new projects. the fact is, when we die, we'll all eventually be forgotten by the rest of the world.

perhaps not in memory, but actively. I can vouch for that fact. that I know for a fact that I will be forgotten as well.

no matter what i try to do, i will always eventually be forgotten. no matter how large your impact on society or the world.

but on hindsight, for those of us who would be remembered for things we would rather not, i suppose it's better to be forgotten, isn't it?

i'm not really sure where this discussion is going... but then again I think this blog is good for me to simply write what i think and feel. without any frameworks, restrictions, rigid guidelines, or something to "stick to" or to prevent from "straying from".

where there aren't any restrictions to thought and opinion--as long as it doesn't directly offend people i guess--and on further hindsight i realise that this is in itself a restriction as well. but if i dwelled so much on it i guess i'd never go anywhere would i?

but then again, what even got me talking about this anyway? and thinking about going out of point or detracting my train of thought?
the fact that my academic brain is limiting my thoughts and telling myself "you are straying from the point you were trying to make!"

bah so much for effective communication, now i'm communicating with myself.

okay so i'll end here with my favourite picture from today's lecture:
