Buddha's Day

I went to Buddha's Day this afternoon. It's just a great event. There was a food bazaar and performance. All of the performances are multicultural, there are came from Japan, China, India, and others.

Japan's traditional music

And also, there was a wish stand. So, I wrote my wish on the paper that it shaped like Bodhi leaf. Then, the stand personnel put it around the little Buddha statue

People's wishes

My wish
"May all of my family's member be healthy and happy"

I do love this event

and

Can't wait to go to this event again next year :)

Art, Song and Present

I quite had a great day which I will tell you exactly..

The story began,

I woke up at 3am this morning because I wanted to give a birthday surprise for my mother in Indonesia. I just looked my oldest brother there was giving her surprise by giving her 5 cupcakes. me, my 2nd brother, and the rest of them who in Indonesia were video calling through SKYPE for an hour. I slept again after that.

Dear Mom,

Happy Birthday 

May you always healthy

May all your dreams come true 

May you have more progress in learning and practice Dhamma

Here your daughter's prayer for you

Sadhu..sadhu..sadhu

I woke up very late this morning. AGAIN!! maybe I should set many alarms so I would wake up. Then, I cooked a fried egg like my friend's sister did. The taste was quite same, but the different was in the shape. It's not round like an usually egg and also it scorched. haha :)

My first class in the afternoon is Graphic Design which is taught by Holly-Anne. She is very kind, nice, and also she like to help us with any problem with photoshop and illustrator. I watched many music video in her class, but I had already done with her task before, so I could watch to kill the time. I watched korean singer's MV, such as Super Junior, Girl's Generation and FT Island. I started to like them all today, even though I don't remember all of the members. I just remember LEE HONG KI from FT Island which also an actor in korean drama titled You're Beautiful. 

I watched Super Junior new MV titled BONAMANA. It's very cool. The effect and the dance is so awesome, although I thought that the dance like an aerobic first, but in  the end, they danced energetically and compact to each other. And also, I watched Girl's Generation MV titled Genie. I like their costumes in this MV. I sang their song all the time today and my friends told me to stop. But, I can't because my brain just remember that song, nothing else. haha.. sorry, mates X(

I had GARETH's class this evening. Remember Gareth? My favourite teacher in this semester. His drawing is great and awesome. see below?

Gareth's Perspective Drawing

Gareth's Microscopic Illustration

What an awesome artwork, right? I am nothing compare to him. Here are my drawings today. Today's topic is MICROSCOPIC ILLUSTRATION :)

My Microscopic Illustration

Behind the story of this drawing,
Firstly, I was so desperate to draw this small branch into large scale because we have to drew the detail as well. The detail was very small which my eyes are not able to see it unless I can zoom in in computer.  Then, I drew many lines as I can. I draw the lines messily because it was so cold in the class so I couldn't control my hand. I thought I'll ruined my drawings again. Gareth told me to do cross-hatching in the back so it could be looked darker. I did what he said and TARA!! the result is what you can see above.
I was so happy with this drawings.

And also, I drew a small tree there because I had to much free time in the class, haha

My Small Tree

I got a present today. It's not a present actually. Let me tell you,
When I opened Gareth's cupboard where the students usually put their artwork in, I saw a bag that design students in my campus usually bring.  They usually put their artworks in. It sold in bookshop, but I prefer to buy in Indonesia because it's cheaper.
I asked him "Nobody owned this?". Then, he looked the bag and said that the owner were not here anymore, then he gave me the bag. YEY!!! I was so happy and tell him that he was the best. And you know what was his answer? He said "I know"
hahaha^^ Thanks, Gareth.

The Bag
(I don't know what Australian called it)

I was so ashamed

Today,

I woke up very late this morning, although I've set alarm in my iPhone. Besides that, I also got surprised that 6.30am was very dark and that made me want to sleep more. I thought I just slept for 15 minutes, but when I woke up, it's already 7.43am. GOSH! I was so late today. but it didn't bother me. I guessed I would just late for 30 minutes. It's just not a big deal (well...30 minutes will be very worthy for me in the future carrier) I've done my English report, so I didn't have to worry so much.

Then, I walked to stop 49 where it is near to my place. I just realised I didn't bring my iPhone when I wanted to take it from my bag. So, I return to my unit and searched it and I didn't find it on my table. I just removed all of my stuffs from my bag and I still didn't find it. Then, I just realise that the iPhone was in my pocket (in the back of my jeans). GRR!!!!! Why I am so forgetful girl. I'm not old enough too forget something easily.

I took tram 16 from my house to High Street. Unfortunately, I get off at the wrong stop. It was 1 stop behind. I was forgot. so I didn't want to talk to the driver that I stopped at the wrong place because I felt like a little bit shy to open my mouth and said "Sorry, Sir. I get off at the wrong stop. I should get off at 1 more stop." (I don't know if I said it in right grammar). So, I guessed that's okay and walked because it had a little bit traffic jam on Glenferie rd and I thought I would be faster than tram, however I was wrong. God!

After that, I waited for tram 6 which could take me to the campus. First, I looked my TramTracker that the tram would be there in 7 minutes. I waited for a long time and I felt that it was more than 7 minutes, then I looked again to my TramTracker, it was 15 mins. As a result, I was late for an hour. I shouldn't take tram 16 and tram 6 anymore. I will take tram 64 start now.

After finish the English class, I went to Menya in Elizabeth st with my girldfriends. I ate ramen. It was very delicious. I chose the one with prawns because it is very expensive if I bought a kg of prawns in SAFEWAY. That's my way to eat seafood and save my money, haha^^

Then we went to Dinkum where located near to RMIT university. RMIT buildings are everywhere in Melbourne City. It seems like it is a famous uni. I won't take my parents to the city. They probably will force me to move to RMIT because it looked good. Well...Swinburne is different. It is not located in city, but in suburb. I really like that. I felt like I really study in overseas. Yeah..back to Dinkum. Me and my girls went to Dinkum to print our packaging project. They were really want to get a good marks (me too!) They print more than mine. I just printed 3 pgs, but they printed almost more than 10 pgs. I didn't do like they did because firstly, I really want to safe my money and I didn't want to spent many papers (How GREEN I am, haha^^ *No Offense, but I really do care our environments now)

I felt that I've done my tasks and want to go home by train. luckily, I just waited for 2 minutes. Suddenly, when I wanted to hear my musics, I didn't find my headset and that made me back to my campuses AGAIN! AGAIN I was so forgetful. My memory was not good enough to memorise something. GRR!!!

The funny thing today was...

So, yesterday, when I wanted to had my dinner with my soup which had already served as well. My brother's housemate (male) also wanted to had dinner with his RAWON (Indonesian food). He offer me his rawon to try the taste. Then, I also offer my soup straightforward to him. you know, the soup which I offered to him was not the new one which still in the pot, but the one that I had already served with my rice. That's why he wouldn't try it because it was in the same bowl and I'd already eat it some. And the bad thing was I just realise it today. OMG!! I didn't look like almost 20 year girl. I was so ashamed =.=

That's why my classmates told me to more GROW UP!! I'll try my best, pals.

Love My Assignments

Well....this week is my 11th week for 2nd semester in Foundation Design. I just didn't realise that it has been eleven weeks since I began my 2nd semester. This semester ran faster than I imagined. My foundation will finish in 14th week. It still has 3 weeks. I just can't imagine I'll go to higherEd after that. That will be more challenges there. sometimes I feel kinda afraid to join with the locals because of my English which is not very well until now. And also, the lecturer who I heard from many sources said that they spoke fast.

hmm.....maybe don't talk about HigherEd right now, hehe :) let's talk about foundation.

Since I started my 2nd semester, I found that my assignments were really fun and fantastic. firstly, I had to do perspectives thing for design studies and the student were not allowed to use RULER. OMG! I found it was very difficult for the first time. but, practice makes perfect. I do believe that. well....maybe not as perfect as my teacher did. I thought it was good enough for beginners. Now, I am doing PACKAGING design. I also thought that this task were really hard, however it went really well since I got the idea. BRAINSTORMING was a good start. believe me.

Secondly, I did visual identity for graphic design. So, we were told to make business card, logo and digital image. It was really fun^^ I love it. I chose a Photography company. I built like a photo studio. I made the logo and the business card. And the 2nd task for this subject is poster design. I haven't done this one. It's still in a process.

Thirdly, I do really love drawing and illustration's class, even though it is really hard to get a high marks. I have submitted 2 assessments and still did not get a satisfied mark. I have to try harder for this one. The teacher, Gareth Basset is my favourite one. His drawings are fantastic. I wish I could draw like he did. He has loved ART since he was in junior-high school until now (he is around 50 now). wew!

I promise I will post my artwork in next post :)
