that's my equation for today.
sob.. stop spamming my blog pls, not that i hv sky-high readership ?!!
sigh, some people just don't get things right.

i dislike wasting time and dislike people wasting time on me. I ain't playing what-so-ever game that u imagine i would be keen on playing. the message is simple. i ain't for u and you ain't for me. i am treating you as my friend, FRIEND. full stop.
fingers crossed. i hope he gets the message eventually, after all, he is a smart guy. right ?
sorry if that pisses u off but i have to make a stern move. dislike mixed signals.

i need to watch some good movie. like 2046 with good art direction.

fingers itchy, miss the vinyl.

the sky is in a very unique blue today. kinda motivates me.

Today is the greatestDay I ve ever kownCant live for tomorrowTomorrows much too long

hehe, nothing to do with the broke back though
just that while i was typing this, i my elbow was so painful coz i knock myself into the glass at our conference room (bloody designer office)
is so tensed y'day, battling with client's closing and yet running on shortage of manpower
and my mum text me that kinda pathetic sms
after knocking off at abt 10++ , i was desperate to get a cake for my birthday mum. so i turn into b'sar and try my luck. bloody hell, another encounter with psycho man. i park my car at the road side near the malay stall and the telawi police station. (thought just a quick shopping)
right, when i got down from my car, there was this wira dark blue (didn't take down plat number, too panic) kept tailing me as i walk towards telawi. so instinctly i turn and see the car, there i found him waving at me like asking me to get in his car !!!
OMG , thanks god, i park near those malay stalls and the police station is just right in front, or else i would be....
so i ignore him and keep walking and acting calm . when i walked towards to busy street he turned the other side and gone out of sight.
what a scarry experience. that time b'sar is still busy, (coz the soccer live is still on)
i seriously dunno him, bloody psycho maniac. i guess he is driving around looking for target, esp those back alley in b'sar where he can just snatch the girl into his car.
after that i keep walking to make sure that he's not around anymore before i go into coffee bean, so was like i practically walk the whole b'sar last night.
after getting my stuff at coffee bean, another adventure, i hv to dash to my car and thank god i made it through !
y'day was really a bad day (actually bad things started after my long lunch)
the rush of work, the pressure my boss is exerting on me, and the psycho maniac. when i got home, only then i realise i've not taken my dinner.
well, is too tired for any food, be it lobster or abalone.
then again, another bad news - Ukraine kena crashed gao gao by the bloody spaniards !!
totally no mood for anything.
today was better ,and least the work has cleared abit, yet to complete.
whateva, england is playing later. i hope they won't make it for the qualifying.
wahahaha......wahahaha......

socceroos ?? boooo!!!

2006-06-13T09:47:00.000+08:00

i still cant accept the fact that nippons lose to the aussie, i'm always not a big fan of aussie, be it their culture, places or whatsoever.
sad sad sad, cant sleep well though after watching it. hard for nippons to qualify themselves with brazil and czech there. sigh.. sob...
alrite too much soccer
saw abit of drama today on the way to work . 2 cars were kissing and banging each other just because one wanted to cut into the other's lane. typical malaysian la, both impatient, both damn gung-ho wanna be hero. is an alfa-romeo 147 with a proton aeroback. both also elderly uncle riding together with their wife. sometimes i really think, once you are impatient, forever you are impatient and have bad-tempered. this incident reminds of the HK bus uncle (coz both driver also in their late 30's and early 40's)
i have pressure, you also have pressure, why did you provoke me ?
that is like the tagline now. thanks to the technology nowadays, with 3G and video phone or thanks to the economic depression that causing everyone to be so depressed till cant even tolerate a small matter.
but this HK bus uncle is a typical bad-tempered dude, even though the economy is good.
other than getting pregnant, do the celebrities have any other better things to do. so fedup reading news about this getting pregnant, that getting pregnant.
i'm not saying that giving birth is a bad thing, i respect my mom immensely by the way, for the 9 months' pregnancy and painful labouring. but can the celebrity do something else more meaningful like charity, earth-preserving , etc etc
i wish there is a shop selling salad, all kinds of salad, is good shit for dinner.
indulge, indulge, i feel like biting Patchi now

i can see clearly now the shit is gone

2006-06-12T11:51:00.000+08:00

no more shitty stuff
i am in a better form now as before. at least part of the shit is cleared. :-)
i'm in the middle of working) but fuck it la, i feel like blogging suddenly ,so i just follow what my heart brings me

1. world cup started. another crazy month. argentina is my pick. not trying to sound like a expert or what-so-ever. it is no longer a pure soccer thingy after all.
2. i watch 4 dvds over the w/end - being john malkovich, orginal sin, shaun of the dead, junebug
3. junebug is a meaningful one, about family relationship , shaun is so damn funny, feel so so happy after watching it.
4. i started something new in my life, totally new, i guess that's what makes me happy now, and makes me look forward to the next day everyday !
5. if you are shallow, how would your blog look like ? i knew the answer now, hehehe... a shallow blog = another waste of space in the internet.

hail to the shallowers !!!

more to come, i will try to blog more regularly, at least i keep reminding myself about that

FALLING IN LOVE WITH SHIT

2006-04-22T13:37:00.000+08:00

so long since i last wrote something about myself and things that happen around my tiny little world. little lessons which i pick up along the line within these few months.

1. human are forgetful
2. stupid and mean people always get what they want, how unfair !
3. human interaction can be subtle and pretentious at the same time.
4. capitalism is powerful.
5. human networking is equally important with one's capability.
6. i'm still waiting for the massive big bang to dawn on me.
7. i need to be more consistent and follow my instinct.
8. don't see things as it is. it always happen the other way.
9. stop influencing by negative power and energy.
10. what people say is what they say. what i think still make the final call.
11. always prepare umbrella way before it rains, especially dogshits
12. shit happens all the time, so START TO LUV SHIT !

to and must catch !

2006-02-11T20:01:00.000+08:00

seen this today, good stuff !
not too heavy, not too light

Sometimes life brings some strange surprises.

2006-02-04T19:06:00.000+08:00

i'm someone who LOVES surprises, the bigger the more the merrier !!!
this one has got Bill Murray, i've to tell you how much i like the way he acts, brilliant !!

As the devoutly single Don Johnston (Murray) is dumped by his latest girlfriend (Delpy), he receives a anonymous pink letter informing him that he has a son who may be looking for him. The situation causes Don to examine his relationships with women instead of moving on to the next one, and he embarks on a cross-country search for his old flames who might possess clues to the mystery at hand.

i love this movie, because there is no definite ending, who is his son ? or does he really has one ? Bill Murray, Bill Murray, Bill Murray !!!!!

my all-time favourite cousin with his signature smile

Fashions change, Style remains

2006-02-04T17:01:00.000+08:00

On 1st August 1936, Yves Mathieu Saint Laurent was born in Oran, Algeria, where his father worked in insurance. When he was a child, they moved to France.
He was a weak, spindly boy and suffered at the hands of his schoolmates, so he found solace at home becoming absorbed in drawing and painting. He designed dresses for his mother and two sisters, while still a teenager.
In 1953, when he was 17, Yves arrived in Paris, and entered the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture School. He entered a competition organised by the International Wool Secretariat, and won first prize with an asymmetrically draped, one-sleeved cocktail dress. A picture of his design is shown on the right. Coincidentally, another prize winner in this same competition was Karl Lagerfeld in the coat category.
The chief judge of this competition was Michel de Brunhoff, director of VOGUE. When he saw Yves St. Laurent's portfolio, he was surprised to see that this unknown young man was thinking along the same lines as the new A-line collection about to be presented by his friend Christian Dior.
Brunhoff spoke to Dior and said "you must take him on". Dior found him so gifted that he took him on as his assistant. It was the first time that Christian Dior had anyone assisting him in the initial design stage.
In 1958 Yves presented his first collection called the Trapeze line. The triangular trapeze shape was the backbone of his collection, and was considered the most important and fully formulated line in Paris. It flared gently from narrow shoulders to a shorter wider hemline just covering the knees. By autumn, the rest of Paris had adopted this length.
One of Yves St. Laurent's greatest talents is colour - from his Mondrian-inspired dresses to his Ballet Russes collections in the 70's. Some say he is the supreme fashion colourist of this century, unrivalled by any other designer. His colour schemes even clash elegantly.
He repeats what Chanel said, "Fashions change, Style remains." His dream is to give women the foundation of a classic wardrobe, which, by escaping trends, gives them more confidence in themselves.
His Smoking (tuxedo) jacket was a shock when it was introduced in 1966. A woman was banned in the 60's from dining at the Plaza hotel in New York, because she was wearing a YSL pantsuit. His pants and jackets became a statement for a new generation of women, and he said "I want to shock people, force them to think."
The secret to his style (or styles because there are many) is that he creates clothes that make a woman look great and feel the height of elegance.
In 2002, Yves has reached the age of 65. It is coming up to a half century since he started designing, and his talent is still limitless. He retains the same shy, nervous personality and every new discovery or experience he faces, makes it's way into his clothes. He has stretched the boundaries of couture to the outermost limits and has an astonishing body of work.
But he decided to bid farewell to the world of fashion that he has so loved. January 22nd 2002, was the last couture show of the house of Yves St. Laurent and the house closed after fulfilling the orders from this January show.
His farewell show was a retrospective of all the looks that he has pioneered over the years. Catherine Deneuve, his muse, was by his side to say farewell and all the leading supermodels took part.
Yves said "In many ways I feel that I have created the wardrobe of the contemporary woman and I have participated in the transformation of my era. I have done so through clothes, and I am extremely proud that women the world over today wear pantsuits, smoking suits, pea coats and trenchcoats."
He said, "the best clothing around a woman are the arms of the man she loves, but for all women not so lucky, I am there."
The doors of YSL Haute Couture atelier on the Avenue Marceau in Paris, finally closed on October 31st 2002. Yves said farewell to all his colleagues and workers. The experienced YSL people have now joined other ateliers, 15 going to Azzedine Alaia and several to Chanel and Jean Paul Gaultier.
His garments, photos, sketches and portfolios of collections have been transferred to a Foundation set up by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge. The salon itself has been remodelled and made into a museum to show the classics created by him during his career and the priceless pieces of art which inspired him. The first showing will be from March 10th 2004 and will be called "Yves Saint Laurent : Dialogue with Art".
In 1971, YSL posed nude for JeanLoup Sieff to advertise his own fragrance. In 1998, the ad was banned by Heathrow and Eurostar trains for being "potentially offensive".

the picture was taken by Andy Warhol. YSL is my favourite designer of all time. love everything about it ! i swear by its perfume.

Crash -
Several characters of different racial backgrounds collide in one incident, The different stereotypes society has created for those backgrounds affect their judgment, beliefs and actions, This in turn causes problems for each of them

this is something different, from the rest of the hollywood stuff. the theme of the movie is about racism, the message is so strong that some film-makers taboo it. i like the part it brings different set of stories together in one movie yet you could still feel the flow of it.

That era has passed.Nothing that belonged to it exists any more.

2006-02-04T16:32:00.000+08:00

It is a restless moment.She has kept her head lowered,to give him a chance to come closer.But he could not, for lack of courage.She turns and walks away.

That era has passed.Nothing that belonged to it exists any more.

He remembers those vanished years.As though looking through a dusty window pane,the past is something he could see, but not touch.And everything he sees is blurred and indistinct.

need i write more ? i luv this movie ! the costumes, the lines, the house, the cars, maggie cheung, tony leung = flawless ! watching this really makes me In the Mood for Love ! the theme song Yumeji's Theme - Umebayshi Shigeru is damn good, kinda music which you could play while u are working. Nat King Cole's Quizas Quizas Quizas brings out the mood of the movie. above all, i love the movie tagline - it strikes me when i read it, so strong that i almost fell off from my chair.

after so long

2006-02-04T16:02:00.000+08:00

last blog was written on 19th dec. what have i been doing all these while ?
watched the Crazy Horse in sg during christmas, fabulous and massive. christmas shopping in sg is madness. i love those cabbie in sg, they are so polite and professional.
my new working environment is fun, care-free and indie (constant supply of indie music throughout the day, cool huh)
oh damn, i couldn't really recap what's going on in my life, i should just blog regularly.
the bottom line is, i wanna improve myself in year 2006 by taking up some short courses and stuff. the world is changing rapidly, we must go with the flow before we become obsolete !
i'm addicted to Flickr lately, i could see the photos for hours and still not feeling enough !

seen the display pic i put ? is by Nan Goldin, a brilliant photographer, i was introduced to her works by reese whom is another hardcore of Flickr !! can you feel the life in all these photos ? the colour, the lights, it captures the golden moment of life !! tell me if u like it, i steal some from the pro in there and put it in my blog. the one with some computer effects on is by Nick Knight, another brilliant photographer, isn't it nice ?

Love.At Any Cost.

2005-12-19T12:24:00.000+08:00

i like the movie tagline, because after all this is a love story. at the same time it reveals the ugly side of the 3rd world, god blesses them with beautiful forests but why do they have to live in such a poverty like their life does not cost a thing ! they live in fear, diseases, epidemic, AIDS, etc etc. .. we are all human after all, why they deserve these kinda treatment from God !
that's what running in my mind while watching it , is a serious movie, how giant pharmaceautical company uses the african as a guinea pig for their medicine.
apart from that, man like ralph in the movie is like dinasaur, extinctive ! willing to die together with the wife and love her unconditionally. i'm not a believer in this kinda 'true or dramatic' love ! do you ?
it was so tiring after the sort of gathering y'day, everyone comes in a 'stoned' condition (hangover and stuff) and yet have to go for such a serious and long movie. luckily the dinner after that is ok. (entertained by the TGIF crew in their own version of happy birthday song) . I find Chilis tastier than TGIF, much much tastier, although they are both tasteless american food. they just know how to fried and steam the food, that's it.
only got home abt 12midnight and just in time to catch Chelsea's winninig ! ! hohoho !!! they are just too good !! too too good !!!

Jarhead (2005)- Welcome to the suck

2005-12-17T14:27:00.000+08:00

finally, another war movie, and yes yes yes is with Jake this time, how could i possibly miss this one ! and is directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty)
i like war movies ! yay!
talking about jake, reminds me of brokeback mountain, why do i have to live in an islamic country ? sigh
Jarhead (the self-imposed moniker of the Marines) follows "Swoff" (Gyllenhaal), a third-generation enlistee, from a sobering stint in boot camp to active duty, sporting a sniper's rifle and a hundred-pound ruck on his back through Middle East deserts with no cover from intolerable heat or from Iraqi soldiers, always potentially just over the next horizon. Swoff and his fellow Marines sustain themselves with sardonic humanity and wicked comedy on blazing desert fields in a country they don't understand against an enemy they can't see for a cause they don't fully fathom... Foxx portrays Sergeant Sykes, a Marine lifer who heads up Swofford's scout/sniper platoon, while Sarsgaard is Swoff's friend and mentor, Troy, a die-hard member of STA-their elite Marine Unit.

there's a king kong in everyone's heart

2005-12-16T13:40:00.000+08:00

that's my tagline for the King Kong 2005.
3 hrs full of trills and surprises, movie of the year baby ! bravo peter jackson!
however, it has a sad ending, which is expected. kind kong is a clever and simple-minded creature, he is just going after what he likes, is that a crime ? isn't everyone of us do that ALL the time ? put the visual effects aside, this movie serves more than just king kong, it is a very philosophical movie - it talks about how ugly mankind is, how narrow minded we are, how we fight like an animal although we have brains, how self-centred we could be and of course the seven deadly sin - greed !
everyone in there put up a good show and you should watch it only in the cinema (but not IMAX , the chair is so uncomfy ! and the air-cond, sigh!)
if it's not the best movie of 2005 then at least it is one of the best (haven't seen brokeback mountain yet)
actually, there are some flaws, the computers effect is very obvious in many of the scenes, especially the fighting scenes with the dinasaurs, HEY i thought dinasaurs extinct before mankind exists ? how come they are found in the sumatera island ? i'm confused !
come on, it's just a movie after all !
p/s: is the dinasaurs vs king kong fighting scene that makes me wanna watch it so much, isn't that massive, wow ! the visual effects is so satisfying !

endless play and no work makes me a dull girl :p

2005-12-16T12:03:00.000+08:00

first is AVB , which is damn good, then is deep dish , the duo from middle east, (they don't look as nice as in thepic, and they have bodyguard ! quite friendly, will mingle with fans) last night was blink and afen. kinda empty for a regular Session night, maybe because it was sandwiched between Deep Dish and Nich Warren tonight ! yay ! get wasted tonight and will hibernate for a short while, will not make it for ferry cause i'll be in the downunder (sigh!) what a waste!
what's in for NY countdown ? langkawi? or status quo ?
see all play no work makes me a dull girl, hehehe.. can't think much besides playing
deep dish spinned hung up that night, bloody good , madonna ur the best !
after december will be another quiet clubbing scene

Every little thing that you say or doI'm hung upI'm hung up on youWaiting for your callBaby night and dayI'm fed up I'm tired of waiting on you .................

sick sick sick

2005-12-13T16:43:00.000+08:00

i decided to blog about this because it is the 1st time happening to me, in a serious manner !yesterday was a nightmare to me. woke up with joint pain, fever, puking non stop. whatever i put into the mouth will come out ! i feel so hungry but yet i feel like puking all the time, also the joint pain is killing me because i feel painful to even lift up my hands or twist my ankle. finally i took some pill but then it went out from the mouth again !
nevermind, i took the pill again and just slept my way through. i lost count of how many times i slept coz i feel so exhausted after puking and the trips of running to the loo. until abt evening, the puke stop but my joints are still painful, so again i took some pills again and knock off till 12 midnite. i woke up feeling thirsty but the joints are not so painful. watch some tv and took some medicine and again knocked off until the next day morning, awakened by a call.
practically i am sick for 24hrs and cure myself (didn't go for doctor) within 24hrs. i don't know if is the medicine that helps or the Ribena that's helping (i drank so so many glasses of it coz after puking your mouth has the disgusting taste).
but still i don't know what will i be so sick, but whatever it is, i'm fit now !

p/s i am craving for some fish now, coz have been eating bread only the whole of yesterday.

Andrew Largeman shuffled through life in a lithium-induced coma until his mother's death inspired a vacation from the pills to see what might happen. A moderately successful TV actor living in Los Angeles, "Large" hasn't been home to the Garden State in nine years. But even with 3,000 miles between them, he's been unable to escape his domineering father Gideon and the silencing effect he's had on his son from afar. Stunned to find himself in his hometown after such a long absence, Large finds old acquaintances around every corner living quite unique lives as gravediggers, fast food knights and the panderers of pyramid schemes. Meanwhile, at home, he does his best to avoid a long-simmering but inevitable confrontation with his father. By a twist of fate, Large meets Sam, a girl who is everything he isn't. A blast of color, hope and quirks, Sam becomes a sidekick who refuses to ride in his sidecar. Her warmth and fearlessness give Large the courage to open his heart to the joy and pain of the infinite abyss that is life.

it doesn't really touch me deeply except its soundtrack, good tracks in there. zach and natalie put up a good show, but the message it was trying to send is not very significant and strong. the ending is so abrupt. but well at least zach stands up and face the problem instead of ostriching about it.like the part when they visit the couple who resides in a old ship and the rain came and end up the 3 of them shouting at the crane (as in the poster) nice, very humanely.

tracks in its soundtrack -
1. Don't Panic - Coldplay
'2. Caring Is Creepy - The Shins
3. In The Waiting Line - Zero 7
4. New Slang - The Shins
5. I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You - Colin Hay
6. Blue Eyes - Cary Brothers
7. Fair - Remy Zero
8. One Of These Things First - Nick Drake
9. Lebanese Blonde - Thievery Corporation
10. The Only Living Boy In New York - Simon & Garfunkel
11. Such Great Heights - Iron and Wine
'12. Let Go - Frou Frou
'13. Winding Road - Bonnie Somerville

If you believe in love at first sight, you never stop looking

2005-12-09T16:04:00.000+08:00

that's the tagline of Closer (2004)

finally i get to watch it ! An intriguing story of passion, drama, love, and abandonment involving two couples, which only gets more complicated when the man from the first couple gets acquainted with the woman from the second coupling.A brilliant movie with many mixed emotions. As soon as you think, okay, this is where they live happily ever after, another twisting tale occurs.

the part i like most abt the movie is where jude chat online with clive. it is so lively ! clive gives a good show so does natalie, but if she were a bit more slutty that will be even better ! jude plays the psycho and edgy journalist well, i guess the role of loser is easy to manipulate. The film, as Tarantino might put it, puts the four leading characters in a box and then takes them apart.

wait .. Alice Ayres or Jane Jones , i'm confused !

do you believe in love at first sight ? i don't know but i never stop looking.

Perhaps.Love

2005-12-09T15:51:00.000+08:00

didn't impress me that much !
jacky cheung plays his role best among other male actors. not to mention his singing talent, bravo !
i was touched by a song in it - 'wai mian de shi jie' by Qi Qeng. the song compliments the plot purrfectly !
is a good breakthrough in HK movie scene especially with the dance steps choreographed by Farah Khan, yes very bollyhood with chinese faces.

i'm not very into the story and the role played by takashi especially, hate people who clings on something which is not worthy ! the gal can act and sing and dance, saw her movie many years back when she's still a teenager, another talented actress. the korean guy is like a flower pot in there, just appear a few scenes here and there supporting the main people.
jacky steals the limelight although his appearance is lesser than takashi. well to me at least, because i don't find takashi that good looking coz i don't really like flawless face

re-reading this currently, better than before!

The Life of David Gale (2003)~The crime is clear. The truth is not.

2005-12-06T14:14:00.000+08:00

this one has a strong storyline, good plot and good cast (luv all the three of them, talented actor and actress, esp laura). however i don't really understand the ending, anybody could shed some lights ?

i need to watch it again in order to pick up the missing puzzles. the message of the movie is strong, that's what i like , it's like a mind-exercise when watching this kinda movie.

In Charles Randolph?s original screenplay, David Gale (Spacey) is a man who has tried hard to live by his principles but in a bizarre twist of fate, this devoted father, popular professor and respected death penalty opponent finds himself on Death Row for the rape and murder of fellow activist Constance Hallaway (Linney). With only three days before his scheduled execution, Gale agrees to give Pulitzer-hungry reporter Bitsey Bloom (Winslet) the exclusive interview she?s been chasing. But Bitsey soon realizes that this assignment is more than she bargained for, and that a man?s life is in her hands. Putting her own safety in jeopardy, she frantically races to piece together the shocking events surrounding Constance?s death, before it?s too late

Memorable Quotes from The Life of David Gale (2003)

Braxton Belyeu: I'm no more afraid of the Grim Reaper than I am of a Presbyterian on Mother's Day.
David Gale: I fell of the wagon and hurt myself.
David Gale: They wanted me to die, knowing the key to my freedom was out there somewhere!
David Gale: Death is a gift.
David Gale: We spend our whole life trying to stop death. Eating, inventing, loving, praying, fighting, killing. But what do we really know about death? Just that nobody comes back. Then there comes a point - a moment - in life when your mind outlives its desires, its obsessions, when your habits survive your dreams, and when your losses... Maybe death is a gift. You want her. All I can tell you is that by this time tomorrow I'll be dead. I know when. I just cannot say why. You have 24 hours to find out.
David Gale: No one who looks through that glass sees a person. They see a crime. I'm not David Gale. I'm a murderer and a rapist... four days shy of his execution.
Bitsey Bloom: You know you are in the bible belt when there are more churches than Starbucks. Zack: When there are more prisons than Starbucks.
David Gale: [while drunk] Socrates was ugly, Plato was fat, and, um, and Aristotle was a prissy dresser!
Zack: 73% of all serial killers vote Republican

it is way way below my expectation. luckily the crawling and leg flipping part of CT make it up. the storyline is kinda weak, and the plot is so messy, the only best part i find is the costume design. the citizen in the Goodchild country all dressed up like japanese, with the bamboo umbrella , also the bullet train, like a chic perfume bottle on rail, and the 'spaceship' or saucerpan which flew with satin tail, it's all so chic and vogue !
the part where she is in the cell is interesting especially the metal-balls which are actually bomb. the french- kissing- message-transmitting technique also cool.

Sin City

Festive season is around the corner, but i don't feel a thing about it, why? until i receive calls on dinner, wedding invitations, christmas celebrations, phew !
i seriously luv the sin city, esp Miho , she's damn damn cool ! silent killer, that's what i like most , she doesn't speak a line in the movie and yet could steal the limelight, bravo. i think i like movie with tonnes of killing and slaughtering like kill bill I & II..
her exotic look always intrigues me, just like Heath Ledger - can't take my eyes off them !
yesterday was pretty bad but it was like a dawn of civilisation - just 'bang' and i'm awake, wide awake !
yippie, it's friday tomorrow, let me plan my weekend , guess what have to do christmas shopping, arghh, hate most, i prefer to receive gifts than buying them, hehehe....

i want to watch these

How strange, innocence by Explosions in the sky

my destiny, my passion, my inspiration

this is where i wanna be for my SOUL vacation !

mental construction in progress !

2005-11-29T12:42:00.000+08:00

i've learned through my own way the following

time waits for nobody, do and grab what you want, be it better or worse
act fast, react fast, when your inner-you tells you this is not the way things work, find a way out as soon as you can
i'm nostalgic especially after the trip back to where i was brought up, the mixed-up feelings is just so complicated
good friend are not judged by the length of time, but the degree of matching frequency
a change will do me good
the curve will bounce back when it reaches the bottom
what you see is always not what you get
judge a book by its cover which says 'this is not who i'm' , it's all written on the cover, take it or leave it
birthday is another excuse for me to have more and more fun and a gauge of the sincerity of your friend
if you can't think straight, read !
abstract painting is like a song without lyrics, you fill in the blank according to your current feelings and thoughts
fashion is the expression of your happiness and sadness
always trust your instinct, because that is what your inner-self speaks !
this is the best of time and the worst of time

Kandinsky - Russian

2005-11-29T12:05:00.000+08:00

Russian painter, whose exploration of the possibilities of abstraction make him one of the most important innovators in modern art. Both as an artist and as a theorist he played a pivotal role in the development of abstract art.Born in Moscow, December 4, 1866, Kandinsky studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, Germany, from 1896 to 1900. His early paintings were executed in a naturalistic style, but in 1909, after a trip to Paris during which he was highly impressed by the works of the Fauves and postimpressionists, his paintings became more highly colored and loosely organized. Around 1913 he began working on paintings that came to be considered the first totally abstract works in modern art; they made no reference to objects of the physical world and derived their inspiration and titles from music.In 1911, along with Franz Marc and other German expressionists, Kandinsky formed Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) group (so called for Kandinsky's love of blue and Marc's love of horses). He produced both abstract and figurative works during this period, all of which were characterized by brilliant colors and complex patterns.Kandinsky's influence on the course of 20th-century art was further increased by his activities as a theorist and teacher. In 1912 he published Concerning the Spiritual in Art, the first theoretical treatise on abstraction, which spread his ideas through Europe. He also taught at the Moscow Academy of Fine Arts from 1918 to 1921 and at the Bauhaus in Dessau, Germany, from 1922 to 1933.After World War I (1914-1918), Kandinsky's abstractions became increasingly geometric in form, as he abandoned his earlier fluid style in favor of sharply etched outlines and clear patterns. Composition VIII No. 260, for instance, is composed solely of lines, circles, arcs, and other simple geometric forms. In very late works such as Circle and Square, he refines this style into a more elegant, complex mode that resulted in beautifully balanced, jewel-like pictures.He was one of the most influential artists of his generation. As one of the first explorers of the principles of nonrepresentational or ure?abstraction, Kandinsky can be considered an artist who paved the way for abstract expressionism, the dominant school of painting since World War II (1939-1945). Kandinsky died in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a suburb of Paris, on December 13, 1944.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (November 24, 1864 – September 9, 1901) was a French painter.
Toulouse-Lautrec was born in Albi, Tarn in the Midi-Pyrénées Region of France. From an old aristocratic family which had lost much of its prestige, he was the son of Comte Alphonse and Comtesse Adèle de Toulouse-Lautrec. Henri was their first child, a brother was born in August 28, 1867 but died the next year. His parents were first cousins and a lot of intra-marriage had already taken place within the familes. This was done to preserve the family wealth. At age 12, Lautrec broke his left leg, and at 14 his right leg, and because of a genetic disorder which prevented his bones from healing properly, his legs ceased to grow. He reached maturity with a body trunk of normal size but with abnormally short legs. He was only 4 1/2 feet (1.5 meters) tall.

when i get kinda emotional and nobody could really understand what is rattling in my mind, i tend to blog... albeit it doesn't solve the root of the problem but it alleviates the severity..
too much play could retard one's mind...
how to find the balance point between cold and warm ?
how could someone flip their mind just like that ? cruel huh?
i starting to feel uncertain about everything that i'm doing now?
what is right and wrong ?
am i meeting the focal point ? or is there one?
arghh... !!!!!!! everything not in correct order and place ! i can't sleep good (definitely not hangover coz i din even drink any shot or whatsoever)
my mind is all juggle up
i feel like i am being attacked by arrows from left-right-centre and i am so helplessly standing there awaiting God to decide my fate
perhaps i should look for something new in life

the title is a song by broken social scene, was highly recommended to check that song out.. well it doesn't disappoint me at all. most of the above are kinda new on the shelf, except fluke and mouse on mars (new found lover, luv them)
don't you luv the cover of BSC , it's like a painting to me, impressionism! rock!
the earthquake of co's management y'day really threw me on a rollercoaster. however what else i could do for my position other than preparing for the worst, mentally and physically i reckon.
it's part and parcel of the corporate world. someone should have seen it coming, just a matter of time.
dad is doing fine.. exercising regularly and eat healthy meal. was happy and relieved ! our house is flooded with fruits and health supplement now courtesy of the caring relatives of friends. the grapes, strawberry and displaying nicely in the fridge. nobody wants to eat it anymore! lol !
it's friday ! i'm suffering sleeping deficiency again, ya... but i don't feel that bad after all, perhaps i could get away with 4 hrs sleeping time nowadays, wow, unbelievable !
i am reading the book '5 people you meet in heaven' kinda interesting, easy to read and understand.
after all the driving to sepang for a parcel.. i can't lie to myself that i don't actually like the bag. but, i still like the leather smell. well at least something new in my bag list.
i don't know what's in me , i'm quite entertained by pop song like the Pussydoll Cat (i seriously have no idea how could that name could become a name as a matter of fact, it sounds more like a call girl chain to me) i kinda like their song Don't Cha. but the babes are hot ! don't lie by BEP also not bad.

i'm feeling top of the world !!

2005-09-08T09:42:00.000+08:00

despites of the bad traffic jam this morning (everywhere, every corner you can imagine is jammed up with cars!) and water crisis in the office (yup, water dispenser spoiled, everyone buying mineral water from convenience store across the road) i am feeling so so so so good this morning.
it is mainly due to my dad i suppose. YES! he's recuperating very well and discharging today ! after talking to the surgeon last nite, his positive feedbacks really put me back into pieces. last week was real tough for us, physically and mentally. but hey, the dark clouds are over and gone now. new life will sure be better for me and of course my dad. although there are plenty of post-surgery steps of precaution to be taken care of, but i'm sure he will make it all through !
sleepy no more! i am feeling so energetic today, was it because of the drink i took last nite? (ya, i took a kidney-friendly drink and boil some chrysanthemum tea, whack all before going to bed.. i don't know which makes me feel so good though)
friends all, thanks for the caring sms and msgs checking whether i'm ok or not. you guys are the greatest! (you know who you are)
it's thursday today, can't wait for friday to come, can't wait to be blacklisted :-p but then, still thinking of the black costumes and my stupid hair.. pretty long and i'm still contemplating on whether to cut or not. woman woman why are you so vain !
fall in luv with queen latifah's version of california dreaming, massive !!!!
those pictures are albums and album covers that kick ass !!

be strong and tough

2005-08-17T17:02:00.000+08:00

it is the worst of time, it is the best of time
after meeting the surgeon, things are not looking very well. i am very worried as a matter of fact. the doctor is being very blunt to us. to prepare us mentally and physically for the worst. i have to pray really hard for things to work well. like the doctor said. it is a race, we have so many huddles in front of us. if we do not take part, we hv zero chances of winning, but if we take part we have a 50/50 chances of winning.
i must be strong, because the blood bank needs me so does my family.
i really wish i could be a magician where i could make the sickness disappear !!

jason mraz's stuff is a good campanion for your ups and downs, especially downs. Mr Curiosity makes me wanna cry !

if you're comfortable with yourself, then it's sexy

Actress Scarlett Johansson was born in New York, N.Y on Nov 22th 1984. She made her movie debut in 'North' with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Faith Ford 1994. She has since appeared in several high-grossing productions including 'Lost in Translation' with Bill Murray, 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' with Colin Firth, 'A Good Woman' with Helen Hunt and 'The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie'. In 1998 she received a Hollywood Reporter Award for her work in 'The Horse Whisperer'

If you're comfortable with yourself, then it's sexy. Maybe people think I look sexy because I feel sexy. I am a very liberated person that way. I'm very comfortable with my sexuality, my body, my face - well, sometimes I'm not comfortable with my face, but it's stuck there and there's nothing I can do about it.

hahaha, it does exist

Heart your heart

2005-08-13T23:13:00.000+08:00

we must heart our heart. it is the most important organ in the body. taking good care of it really helps a lot in our golden age.

A coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or heart bypass. it was invented in Argentina by René Favaloro and it is a surgical procedure performed in patients with coronary artery disease (see atherosclerosis) for the relief of angina and possible improved heart muscle function. Veins or arteries from elsewhere in the patient's body are grafted from the aorta to the coronary arteries, bypassing coronary artery narrowings caused by atherosclerosis and improving the blood supply to the myocardium (heart muscle).

One way to unblock (open up the lumen) of a coronary artery (or other blood vessel) is angioplasty, or Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA). A wire is passed through the diseased coronary artery, to beyond the area of coronary artery that is being worked upon. Over this wire, a balloon catheter is passed into the segment that is to be opened up. The end of the catheter contains a small folded balloon. When the balloon is hydraulically inflated, it compresses the atheromatous plaque and streches the artery wall to expand. At the same time, if an expandable wire mesh tube (stent) was on the balloon, then the stent will be implanted (left behind) to support the new stretched open position of the artery from the inside.

The Killers's Everything Will Be Alright kinda lingers in my mind now.....
Everything will be alright ....everything will be alright......everything will be alright......

Kammerflimmer, good music being discoverd lately. the two album cover were taken from them. it's kinda freaky but artistic at the same time.
the haze has reach its hazardous point today. offices and banks was closed. PM declared emergency state for kuala selangor and klang. schools was closed till next week. the whole peninsular especially the west coast is in a mess. even inside the office i could barely see the other end. yes, is that bad !
colleagues were making fun that everyone should work at the beach in the east coasts with their own laptop.
after walking to next door for lunch, throat was feeling bad ! was told that the government might declare holiday / emergency state for tomorrow. nothing much could accomplished with such bad conditions. pity those motorcyclists on the road.
hope things will get better tomorrow, if not the girls-nite-out thingy will not be so fun !
is that a sign that the world is getting more and more out of its shape ?

Bloody Mary could cure hangover !!

2005-08-03T15:09:00.000+08:00

a shake to cure hangover
1 banana
1 small can V-8
6 large strawberries
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup orange juice
1-2 cups milk (or soy milk), to desired consistency
¼ tsp. salt
dash of nutmeg

my own recipes to cure hangover
1 apple
half grapefruit
quarter carrot
1 yellow pear (proven to cure hangover in the eastern medicine, it works coz it rehydrate you instantly!)
mix with lassi or yoghurt drink (for the protein source)
some parsley leaves for the green colour effect
blend well and drink all within 3 minutes!

Bloody Mary-1.5 oz vodka-Dash of lemon (or lime) juice-Worcestershire sauce-2 or 3 drops Tabasco sauce-Pepper, salt and celery salt-5 oz tomato juice-Serve in a tall glass over ice

There are several things, however, that you can put into your body to ease the pain and assist rapid recovery, including a little-known substance called cysteine. Cysteine directly counteracts the poisonous effects of acetaldehyde. The following arsenal-in-a-milkshake is so loaded with the anti-toxic munitions your body needs, that after it makes short work of your hangover, it might just clear out your nasal passages, shrink your hemorrhoids, and leap out of your body and write your History term paper.

If necessary, follow up with a dose of Maalox, lots of Gatorade, and bouillon soup for dinner. These ingredients will rehydrate your body, replace essential vitamins and minerals, and help rid your body of some of the toxic byproducts of metabolized alcohol.

Everyone back to the pub? This doesn't actually cure the hangover it just delays it. After a heavy night out the body is effectivly going through a detox, so by having one or two drinks will help ween you off alcohol (well thats our excuse).The science bit - The liver attacks poisons in a certain order, with ethanol (alcohol) first. Once all the ethanol has been broken down, it starts on the methanol (methanol releases formic acid into your system and makes you feel bad). Hitting the liver with another dose of ethanol causes it to stop processing methanol and start on the new threat, but the methanol will have to be processed sometime so you are only postponing the hangover until later.Were not suggesting that you get hammered again, you have to deal with the hangover sometime. When you do decide to deal with your hangover try our other cures to help you though the pain.

Protein is a good source of amino acids and a good hearty breakfast has loads, so you'll soon be on the road to recovery.Actually food is a good idea all round - before, during and immediately after drinking. Food doesn't absorb alcohol, but it does increase metabolism, activates alcohol absorption, and increases the speed with which the body processes alcohol.The science bit - Eggs contain cysteine which an amino acid that is used by the body in the manufacture of glutathione (an enzyme which runs low during a drinking binge). Glutathione mops chemicals called free radicals.

favourite drinks
Screwdriver
1¼ oz. Vodka 4 oz. Orange Juice Pour the Vodka into a tall glass and fill the rest with orange juice. Hey, who doesn't know this one?

Gin&tonic
1¼ oz. Gin Tonic Pour the Gin into a glass filled with ice. Fill the rest with Tonic and add a lime wedge. Another easy to remember drink.

apart from beer, mixes with coffee or Bailey ( coz i don't take coffee), i drink everything !

The Rococo style developed as a relief from formalities of Late Baroque interiors. It probably received its name among young assistants in the atelier of the neoclassical painter Jacques-Louis David, who used the word whimsically to designate the old shellwork style (style rocaille) of the ancien régime , which had been dowdy in France since about 1775, though in Spain it continued to bloom (illustration, right).
To sketch the career of Rococo briefly, it began as a French style of interior decoration during the Régence that followed Louis XIV's death, 1715 - 1723: the "Régence style." Versailles was temporarily in eclipse, and French power and fashion centered around the court of the Regent, Philippe d'Orléans, at the Palais-Royal Paris. A Late Baroque designer for the Court, who was influential in starting this transitional "freeing-up" phase was Jean Bérain (1638 - 1711). An early departure of the new style was the fashion for "Bizarre pattern" woven silks during the first decade of the century, where the large repeated medallion elements of Baroque silks were replaced by abstract and Orientalizing patterns with a diagonal movement.

Artist : New Order
Album: "Waiting For The Sirens' Call" (2005)
Song : Krafty
Lyrics :
Some people get up at the break of day Gotta go to work before it gets too late Sitting in a car and driving down the road It ain't the way it has to be
But that's what you do to earn your daily wage That's the kind of world that we live in today Isn't where you wanna be And isn't what you wanna be
*chorus*
Give me one more day (one more day) Give me another night (just another night) I need a second chance (second chance) This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)
I'll say one last time (one last time) I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know) I've got to change your mind (I've got to change your mind) I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)
You've got to look at life the way it oughta be Looking at the stars from underneath the tree There's a world inside and a world out there With that tv you just don't care
They've got violence, wars and killing too All shrunk down in a two-foot tube But out there the world is a beautiful place With mountains, lakes and the human race This is where I wanna be And this is what I wanna do

1. top left - The Seaside
2. Young woman in a boat 1870
3. The return from boating trip
4. The Ball
5. Garden Bench

all by James Tissot
Vogue Aug feature his painting which inspired Nina Ricci latest collection of ruffled dresses. the painting took my breath away for a few sec. it is The Seaside (top left). my personal favourite is young woman in a boat, like the detailing on her dress, brilliant !! in fact i like dressing during that period of time, baroque rocks @!!!!

The French painter James Joseph Jacques Tissot is known especially for his charming illustrations of Victorian life. After studying at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he fought in the Franco-Prussian War and then settled in England. As a caricaturist for Vanity Fair, he met London's social elite and became a fashionable portrait painter, especially of elegantly dressed women. In 1886, moved by a religious impulse, he made his first trip to Palestine and then devoted the next ten years to illustrating the Bible in watercolor paintings. His research for these works, many of which belong to the Brooklyn Museum in Brooklyn, N.Y., was painstaking and often included visits to the sites of the biblical incidents.

speak to me in a language i can hear humour me before i have to go deep in thought i forgive everyone as the cluttered streets greet me once again i know i can't be late, supper's waiting on the table tomorrow's just an excuse away so I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own the earth laughs beneath my heavy feet at the blasphemy in my old jangly walk steeple guide me to my heart and home the sun is out and up and down again i know i'll make it, love can last forever graceful swans of never topple to the earth and you can make it last, forever you you can make it last, forever you and for a moment i lose myself wrapped up in the pleasures of the world i've journeyed here and there and back again but in the same old haunts i still find my friends mysteries not ready to reveal sympathies i'm ready to return i'll make the effort, love can last forever graceful swans of never topple to the earth tomorrow's just an excuse and you can make it last, forever you you can make it last, forever you

2005-07-19T11:03:00.000+08:00

I'm gonna fight 'em allA nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it offTaking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at nightBecause I can't forget
Back and forth through my mindBehind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyesSays leave it alone
Don't want to hear about itEvery single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about itFrom the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my wayI'm gonna serve it to you
And that aint what you want to hearBut thats what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bonesSays find a home
I'm going to WichitaFar from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the strawMake the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleedingRight before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from meAnd I will sing no more
And the stains coming from my bloodTell me go back home

lactose

2005-07-09T15:05:00.000+08:00

did some spring cleaning on my stomache by consuming Lactose, it makes me running to the toilet frequently. was told it could deposit some bifidus which are good for the stomach and disgestion. it has to be taken for three consecutive days.. feeling thirsty and dizzy (no food intake within 4hrs of consumption)
worshipping Bazaar and Allure, i always feel happy and light after reading it, my fashion awareness index will shot up and the direction of trend is identified. bikini, metallic, bohemian and crisp white is running the show, cool huh!! this month's issue is interesting because it tells us about the celebrity's car. paris drives bentley, madonna drives mini (in metallic black, cool). JPG, Dior make fabulous gipsy dresses, it really takes my breath away. can't wait for SJP perfume due to launch in August 05. Mulberry Roxanne bag - my next pet after the Fendi spybag. jeans is in matching with bohemian top and bulky leather belt. flowery stocking and crochet knit hat will be the next hunting objects for me.
something interesting abt my horoscope - 9th to 17th is the perfect time to ask for a favor or invitation or flirt with that supposedly unattainable love interest. you will meet with a warm reception, but will have to act fast to make the most of this opportunity. the temperature drops when venus changes signs on the 22nd.
hohoho, so encouraging signs !!
live strong dad !! get well soon.

Robert-Victor-F�lix Delaunay was born April 12, 1885, in Paris. In 1902, after secondary education, he apprenticed in a studio for theater sets in Belleville. In 1903, he started painting and by 1904 was exhibiting, that year and in 1906 at the Salon d�Automne and from 1904 until World War I at the Salon des Ind�pendants. Between 1905 and 1907, Delaunay became friendly with Henri Rousseau and Jean Metzinger and studied the color theories of Michel-Eug�ne Chevreul. During these years, he was painting in a Neo-Impressionist manner; Paul C�zanne�s work also influenced Delaunay around this time. From 1907�08, he served in the military in Laon, and upon returning to Paris he had contact with the Cubists. The period 1909�10 saw the emergence of Delaunay�s personal style; he painted his first Eiffel Tower in 1909. In 1910, Delaunay married the painter Sonia Terk, who became his collaborator on many projects. Delaunay�s participation in exhibitions in Germany and association with advanced artists working there began in 1911, the year Vasily Kandinsky invited him to participate in the first Blaue Reiter exhibition at Heinrich Thannhauser�s Moderne Galerie in Munich. At this time, he became friendly with Guillaume Apollinaire, Albert Gleizes , and Henri Le Fauconnier. In 1912, Delaunay�s first solo show took place at the Galerie Barbazanges, Paris, and he began his Windows pictures. In 1913, Delaunay painted his Circular Form, or Disc, pictures. From 1914 to 1920, Delaunay lived in Spain and Portugal and became friends with Sergei Diaghilev, Leonide Massine, Diego Rivera, and Igor Stravinsky. He designed decor for the Ballets Russes in 1918. By 1920, he had returned to Paris, where in 1922 an exhibition of his work was held at Galerie Paul Guillaume, and he began his second Eiffel Tower series. In 1924, he undertook his Runner paintings and in 1925 executed frescoes for the Palais de l�Ambassade de France at the Exposition internationale des arts d�coratifs in Paris. In 1937, he was commissioned to decorate the Palais des Chemins de Fer and Palais de l�Air at the Paris World�s Fair. His last works were decorations for the sculpture hall of the Salon des Tuileries in 1938. Delaunay died October 25, 1941, in Montpellier, France.

Born in Hamburg in 1938, Karl Lagerfeld emigrated to Paris at the age of 14. He was to go on to become one of the most celebrated designers this century has seen.

In 1955, at the age of just 17, Lagerfeld was awarded a position at Pierre Balmain, after winning a competition sponsored by the International Wool Secretariat (the coat he had designed for the contest was later put into production by Balmain). In 1958, he left to take up a job with Jean Patou, which gave him an invaluable knowledge of couture but apparently very little pleasure. After just one year, he quit to work as a freelance designer for such fashion houses as Krizia, Charles Jourdan and Valentino. By 1964, he had grown so disillusioned with the world of haute couture that he left Paris altogether to study art in Italy.

new orleans jazz band 1944 by Jean Dubuffet

2005-07-06T17:21:00.000+08:00

Jean Dubuffet was born July 31, 1901, in Le Havre, France. He attended art classes in his youth and in 1918 moved to Paris to study at the Acad�mie Julian, which he left after six months. During this time, Dubuffet met Raoul Dufy, Max Jacob, Fernand L�ger , and Suzanne Valadon and became fascinated with Hans Prinzhorn�s book on psychopathic art. He traveled to Italy in 1923 and South America in 1924. Then, Dubuffet gave up painting for about ten years, working as an industrial draftsman and later in the family wine business. He committed himself to becoming an artist in 1942.
Dubuffet�s first solo exhibition was held at the Galerie Ren� Drouin, Paris, in 1944. During the 1940s, the artist associated with Andr� Breton, Georges Limbour, Jean Paulhan, and Charles Ratton. His style and subject matter in this period owed a debt to Paul Klee . From 1945, he collected Art Brut [more ], spontaneous, direct works by untutored individuals, such as mental patients. The Pierre Matisse Gallery gave him his first solo show in New York in 1947.
From 1951 to 1952, Dubuffet lived in New York. He then returned to Paris, where a retrospective of his work took place at the Cercle Volney in 1954. His first museum retrospective occurred in 1957 at the Schloss Morsbroich, Leverkusen. Dubuffet exhibitions were subsequently held at the Mus�e des Arts D�coratifs, Paris, in 1960�61; the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Art Institute of Chicago in 1962; Palazzo Grassi, Venice, in 1964; the Tate Gallery, London, and Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, in 1966; and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, in 1966�67.
A collection of Dubuffet�s writings, Prospectus et tous �crits suivants, was published in 1967, the same year he started his architectural structures. Soon thereafter, he began numerous commissions for monumental outdoor sculptures. In 1971, he produced his first theater props, the �practicables.� A Dubuffet retrospective was presented at the Akademie der Kunst, Berlin, the Museum Moderner Kunst, Vienna, and the Joseph-Haubrichkunsthalle, Cologne, in 1980�81. In 1981, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum observed the artist�s 80th birthday with an exhibition. Dubuffet died May 12, 1985, in Paris.

rothko again - white cloud over purple 1957

2005-07-06T17:13:00.000+08:00

Mark Rothko was born Marcus Rothkowitz on September 25, 1903, in Dvinsk, Russia. In 1913, he left Russia and settled with the rest of his family in Portland, Oregon. Rothko attended Yale University, New Haven, on a scholarship from 1921 to 1923. That year, he left Yale without receiving a degree and moved to New York. In 1925, he studied under Max Weber at the Art Students League. He participated in his first group exhibition at the Opportunity Galleries, New York, in 1928. During the early 1930s, Rothko became a close friend of Milton Avery and Adolph Gottlieb. His first solo show took place at the Portland Art Museum in 1933. Rothko�s first solo exhibition in New York was held at the Contemporary Arts Gallery in 1933. In 1935, he was a founding member of the Ten, a group of artists sympathetic to abstraction and Expressionism [more ]. He executed easel paintings for the WPA Federal Art Project from 1936 to 1937. By 1936, Rothko knew Barnett Newman. In the early 1940s, he worked closely with Gottlieb, developing a painting style with mythological content, simple flat shapes, and imagery inspired by primitive art. By mid-decade, his work incorporated Surrealist techniques and images. Peggy Guggenheim gave Rothko a solo show at Art of This Century in New York in 1945. In 1947 and 1949, Rothko taught at the California School of Fine Arts, San Francisco, where Clyfford Still was a fellow instructor. With William Baziotes , David Hare , and Robert Motherwell , Rothko founded the short-lived Subjects of the Artist school in New York in 1948. The late 1940s and early 1950s saw the emergence of Rothko�s mature style, in which frontal, luminous rectangles seem to hover on the canvas surface. In 1958, the artist began his first commission, monumental paintings for the Four Seasons Restaurant in New York. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, gave Rothko an important solo exhibition in 1961. He completed murals for Harvard University in 1962 and in 1964 accepted a mural commission for an interdenominational chapel in Houston. Rothko took his own life February 25, 1970, in his New York studio. A year later, the Rothko Chapel in Houston was dedicated.

notte egiziana by paul klee

2005-07-06T16:57:00.000+08:00

Paul Klee was born in 1879 near Bern, Switzerland and studied art at the Munich Academy in 1900. He settled in Munich in 1906, then a center for avant-garde art activity, where he met Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc. He became associated with the Blaue Reiter, a group of artists in Munich who shared a belief in the spiritual and transcendent, that an ideal art 'represented' an inner state of mind rather than material reality.
Klee is a difficult artist to categorize, for he incorporated into his generally small-scale paintings, drawings and watercolors, allusions to dreams, music and poetry with a complex language of symbols and signs of arrows, letters, words, commas, and musical signs in a form of writing. He especially valued the art of children, for he felt they revealed the mysteries of the creative process, relying on signs for things in the natural world. It was this aspect of his work that was so admired by the Surrealists in the 1920's and 1930's.
Rather than describing an object, person or place in traditional pictorial forms, Klee gave us a personal sign system in works that are abstract and figurative at the same time. He taught at the Bauhaus following World War I, and then at The Dusseldorf Academy in 1931 until he was dismissed by the Nazis for his 'degenerate art.' He returned to Bern, Switzerland, where he continued to work until his death in 1940.
