Days in Kiwiland

When i spent my gap year in New Zealand in 2017/18,
i spent most of the time to

day-dream and breathe basically.

But i promise myself.......weakly and quietly, 

that i will watch a lot of movies, draw a lot, feel a lot,

seek for the meaning of life and the truth of universe if i'm lucky enough.

********

Well.
I just had some chilly days in NZ,
there's no meaning of life hiding behind the mountain.
but life is great undoubtable.

Here're most of the movies i've watch during the trip,
some are great and some are just sitting in my hardrive too fucking long that
i have to get rid of it,

but my favourite is <Le Havre>
for it's breathtaking art direction and the minimal sadness on their face.

********

Talking about movies,
recently i've watched plenty of chinese movie based on the wind,

head wind.

These 2 are more than perfect.
They will be my all time favourite for very long of my life.
I'm grateful for the impact and re-think that processed in me.

**********

During Autumn 2017,
I am into calligraphy + illustration,
I will draw and 

make it as a gift for the lovely people that i met.

magic mirror of possibility

The never ending holiday carry on,

i'm here in life have nothing much to do

but there're so much to do as well.

so i decided to add a frame to this goddamn bare mirror that we have.

by making a slot in the woods and attach them together.

we don't have tools and it took us two weeks to make this,

despite of ian keep telling me it's impossible to made.

so here,

"the process of using wrong tools'.

handmade ceramic ticked

ive been taking classes of handmade ceramic lately
and having a dream to made my own and all of my
tableware next.

embroidery first poke

since i'm on a nothing to-do-at-all holiday,
so i pick up a needle.

with some help of youtube tutorials, it's not that hard lazy ass.

i love holidays!!

boring hobbies talk

one time,

me and ian was talking about how we gain our art sense from young age.

remembering how i adored my dad's key chains collection and notes collection when i was really young.

and how the whole school shared a common interest in stamp collecting.

ian brought up his impressive stamps collection covered in dust.

i was wow. totally blown away.

(here's a glimpse)

and,

i steal 2 stamps from him

and exchange with 3% of my admiration left with me

to make it 100%
