Oolala, it's Teachers' Day! Let's see...there're many many names down my list, I can still remember most of my teachers who taught me from p1 all the way to sec 2. Except for a few, maybe. Let me see - I'll try reciting.

A biiiigg thank you to...*takes a deep breath*...P1 Mdm Yun, P1 Miss Poh, P2 Mdm Teo, P3 Ms Noor Alinah, P4 Mdm Nora, P5 - P6 Mrs Tan, Sec 1 - Sec 2 Mrs Chia.

And also heartfelt appreciations to all subject teachers (I can only remember those in sec school the clearest sry): Eng/Lit teachers Ms Lim, Ms Wu, Ms Irene; Math teacher Mrs Chia; Geog teacher Ms Wong; Chinese teachers Tang Lao Shi and Zhang Lao Shi; History teacher Mrs Mak; PE teacher Mrs Wee and Mr Yeo; Chem teacher Mrs Tay; Philo teacher Ms Chan; RS mentor Mr Tan; my SG math tuition teacher Mr Koh, and also my China hols math tuition teacher Yu Lao Shi (like reaallly big and exceptional thank you - if he could read english!).

Oh and not forgetting the awesome guitar teachers-in-charge Ms Seah and Mr Larry - and an even awesomer guitar instructor Mr Chua!!!

Yes, a big fat humongous Happy Teachers' Day to all my wondrous teachers - who cares what my initial impressions were, eventually we'll all end up happy and, er, sound! - hehe nah just joking, I never had anything against you guys. *Swells with pride* My teachers are just uniquely different. ^^

Okay, on to the proper reports. Well today I had guitar and we were preparing for assessment pieces, had to do sight-singing for 2h and played for another 1.5 hours I think. Mr Chua had to cut the cake for the tiny party at the end - Ashley baked the cake, it had one candle on it, and Mr Chua was having this really toothy grin that is just so...>

Hehe. Yup, and then Az came over, we watched a damn ridiculous arc in Gintama and then finished our products for lit PT. Learnt quite some stuff about Photoshop from Az; guess being in tribune and rushing through all those articles really helps huh? XD Now I finally know more about the Magicwand tool! Yay! Joy to the world!

Ahh man I'm so happy today. For some reason I'm just so happy today. My drawing skills sorta recovered from that previous warping freak-incident, and Pan says that she thinks my current style is a little better so I shall stop trying to get my old style back. I shall try to forget about my horrifying intuition of math exam today - just for today, before I start chewing out on the last bits of my happiness.

Uh huh so our CSI group's coming over tomo at 11am to film the stuff, and Az is reaching (again) way earlier than them in the morn, somewhere around 7 am, so we can finish our lit PT reflections and then sort out the props before the rest arrive. Keer's bringing powder for finger-printing, Az the maid's costume and black construction paper for data collection, Nans the video cam, Dams and Cher the...? Me the house, sketchbook for sketching data, and CS4 / moviemaker for video editing. Yup, hopefully all sorted out.

I'm writing to Ms Lim lately! She has such an interesting personality that really fits her profession. Missing all her lessons and those humourous banters...haiz...good stuff just has to end someday, no matter how they end huh? Is that part of Murphy's Law? Cuz if it is I'm kinda like a half-supporter of the law so...

Oh well.

Should I end off with a picture? I did this sky practice in photoshop a couple of days back, nothing much, but I think I'll still post it up.

1) Sky Practice 1

Description: Airbrushing and soft shade in CS4 Photoshop, approx 2h. First time painting clouds digitally, very amateur, but also really fun otherwise. Had to make use of quite some layers to split the process up; like one layer for basic white, then another for gray shadow, blue shadow, highlights, etc. Tried to fluff up the edges of the clouds with smaller detail brushes. I forgot to apply the gaussian blur in the end, but, oh well.

Supposedly having a dreamy feeling - and yes, this kind of skies do exist in my world too. A soft dreamy sun, but still isolated. :D

Okay I suppose I should really go now! Tired after the whole day. Cya! Good night, and enjoy your teachers' day and hols!
