Mr Beckham, polaroids, and disappointment

Hi,

Chi here. Haha it has been a while hasn't it? Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about this. I was sick for the past week and I was stuck at home for at least four days. The agony of sickness... it's terrible :( I really don't like being sick guys.

So when I was at home, given the extra time that I had I sat down and did a bit of drawing, and after looking at some of my favourite design blogs I saw some really amazing drawings that were sort of to the more realistic, very detailed-looking side. And they were of people's faces. So after gazing at them for hours I said to myself, why don't I try out doing it? 

So I chose Mr David Beckham, just because his face is hot as hell (but he's getting old, what a shame). This is what I came up with after two hours that night! (Click title to view enlarged version)

As the weather is getting better lately, we have been taking a lot of polaroid pictures lately, and I can't help but drool over one of these babies. I know the film is expensive and all, but it is such a good tool to have for instant, in-a-moment memories. I would love to buy one and take millions of pictures with Alex when he gets over. That way I can store the little memories, no?

Also a few things happened over the course of last week. I was thinking of doing a student-led musical for next year on Grease alongside with another student-led on Beauty and the Beast since I kind of wanted to make it super good and in my own way as well. Unfortunately, after a few days of seeking approval from the school and talking and mucking around it couldn't happen and I am quite disappointed. There goes my senior year. But oh well, I will chip in and try to help as much as I could with the other musical... although I am not quite sure how Aincre and the group will deal with the whole dancing-teapots and singing-spoons.....

And there were a lot of boys disappointment too... boy, it was miraculous we finally got out of it! T'was worth it, for the short time, *hint hint Abi* and well... it will never happen again. I hope. I really don't want anyone to get hurt :(

Anyhow, that is too much talking for me today. Toodles.
