#Throwback: Making of Whimsical, 20 December 2012
I made this artwork on my trip to Singapore in 2012. I saw this interesting tea house called Arteastiq, which collaborate the idea of a tea house and a place to pour all of your creativity into a blank canvas. I thought, "it looks interesting", so I tried it. There are several art references that you can use to inspire your art making, but I decided to create my own. It was very spontaneous. I just painted any shapes that came up in my mind, I also applied this technique on the colours that I used.
When I was about to checked out from the hotel, I passed this door boy who said a very memorable comment about my painting. He said, "did you make this? you are going to have a great future." I hope I will.

The Thought of Changing My Major
By Jean-Michel Basquiat
After two semesters studying Business Management, the thought of changing my major sometimes occurs in my mind. I've been thinking to change my major to something else that interests me, such as Art History, Curatorial, Art Management, or Journalism which I just discovered that I like. Actually, I have been accepted in LaSalle Singapore to study 'Fashion and Media Industry'. However for some reasons, I chose another university to study Business Management instead.
Sometimes I think that I have chosen the wrong major for myself. Some people will say that "if you are not satisfy with your current major, you better change it now because it will be a waste of money, time, and energy to study what you are not interested in.", but I cannot back out of my current study that easily. First, I am afraid that I will make my parents upset about my decision. Again, I guess a lot of people will say, "it's not about your parents, it is about you", but it does bother me what my parents will feel about my decision. Second, I am already half way. Next year, I will transfer to another university in Netherlands to continue my undergraduate study. It will be a waste of time and money if I decided to quit in the middle of it.
So in the end, I decided that I will continue my master's degree in something that actually interest me. Also hopefully, I can study my PhD in subjects that I love too.

To-Read Links
Everything is overwhelming. At first, it is exciting and challenging when I got the tasks. However, today it is getting out of hand and it makes me anxious wether I will be able to do all of it or not. I guess, another thing that makes me anxious is the expectation from people around me. I hope I can do all of this task easily.
