Dinie has been busy with art that he did not have the time to update his blog. And now when the art dateline is over and he has submitted his artwork, how happy he is. He is so delighted that he dropped to his knees to the fact that he did not have to do art anymore for the next few weeks. All the hard work seemd to have paid off for him. He appreciate all the good comments made by everybody about his work, except for his art teacher. It seemed very worthwhile for all the times he stayed up, the lack of sleep, the constant scoldings by parents, perseverence, persuasion by many and many more. He went through a lot and is very happy and appreciates all of it.

Sadly, there were some consequences. Due to lack of sleep, he did sleep in the mrt on the way home a few times. So, he wasted quite a lot of time in unnecessary travelling. And this has led to quite severe scoldings by his parents.

Today, it has been quite a bad start due to scoldings from yesterday still fresh in his mind. He got scolded in the early afternoon for something minor like forgetting to cut his nails, and his mom was so angry that she told him not to go for his chinese class as a punishment.

In the end, he and his parents managed to settle their differences. They both explained their views about the way Dinie has been and it was quite a good session. Dinie is now trying to gain his support to his family. In hopes that certain things that the things he has planned to happen in the future could happen and be approved by his parents.

Dinie's abit down at the moment but he will be ok...

Dinie is sick. He has been having flu for the past two days. But today, he decided not to go to school due to it bein a long tiring day. He doesnt think he can last till 6 pm today. After this, he will be going to see the doctor. Furthermore, its not onli the flu. His left ankle, which he sprained twice in two days last week is coming back to haunt him. It has given him more problems as the injury still persists. He feels that its even worse than a normal ankle injury, since the pain has spread up to his thighs. He hopes to get better soon and will be usin this as a good break from school and catch up with the many things he needs to do.


Dinie's to-do list:
- Math tutorial from chapter 1 top chap 3.2... (Dats alot to do)
- Art "mock-up" due on Fri...
- Econs essays due on Fri and Mon...
- Phy tut on SHM...
- Read up on math integration
- EOM due Fri gp lect..

Dinie knows that he isn't good in art. He likes the theory part of it but not the practical part of it. Now, he feels as though he regreted taking up art in YJ. Yes, he thought for a moment that the Art teacher was ok. But it seems his initial feeling should be the one that will remain to his head.

The Art teacher seems quite scary. Some did tell Dinie that she is the most hated teacher in the school. Dinie was even told that she was anti-social.

But they could only be rumours. Here's Dinie's story towards his Art life so far in YJ :


"
She impressed me when she made the effort to remember everybody's name on the first lesson. I thought that it would get better. As the days go by, I realised how weak I am in my drawing skills... So at first I thought her drawing exercises were good. But soon enough, she kinda exposed her true colors mayb? I duno, but I jz feel pressured by her...

Its juz dat the way she scolds reli demoralise me... And the comments she gav reli made me worse... K, recently, she tried a "soft-approach" to get me into the mood to do art... Yes it kinda worked... It even motivated me to ran well durin the Sport's day...

Bt den, when I did try 2 do what I can, she scolded me for doin useless stuff. I reli put in the effort to draw as much and as many ideas dat came to my head... She asked me a question... When Im bout to ans, she told me not to answer the question... Den she ask the question again...

OK... So, I jz abosrbed wtv she had to say but not reli payin attention to the details of what she said.. She dragged on till I was late for my phy prac Mock-up test... Wells, ltr on, I tried to remember and reflect on what she said and it even demoralise me even more...

The thing that made me reli upset was her comment: "Even a primary school kid can draw better than you!"

Wah this reli make me.... I drew in my favourite style, Cubism. Obviously it seemed as though I cant draw cz it should be more cubified and abit deformed... She even said that one of her fav artists was Picasso, who was the inventor of Cubism.

You know it makes me feel as though I wana get retained so I can change my subject combi and drop art.... Haiz, nvm, lets hope all these works out so I can pass my promos...
"


Dinie is now stressed with a number of stuff. Will he pass his promotional exams? Now, he juz has to do his work and study hard.

1st on the list is to do 5 drawings by tomorrow, which he hasnt start yet. So, he is hoping that a miracle to happen even though he knows that it would be quite impossible.

I love Yasmin!!!

Dinie is happy now. He is happy that his dear has come back from M'sia. He missed her so much. And now, she is back. They talked about certain stuff that has happened while both of them are away. It was so funny, nice and it made them understand each other more.

Yes, he did play jawbreaker, and he relunctantly let her into the sursrise he was about to let her do. So, she knows that Dinie could break her record, but decided to let her have the honours of completing it off. Both of them felt relieved to hear each other's voices, and cant wait to see each other when school starts again on Monday.

Before that, he went to meet his cousin, Kak Long, and some of his friends who were involved in a Kids Camp they all planned and carried out. One of their friends is leavin for Mesir for further studies so they were discussin and planned a powerpoint presentation to say farewell to her.

Another event that happened was that Dinie sprained his ankle twice. Sadly, he even sprained it at exactly the same spot. Wells at least he's ok now...

At the moment, Dinie is tryin to register to his NS account but has problems. He has tried loggin in and out but he could not change his old complicated password to a new one.

Also, he is missing his loved one who is now in Malaysia. The last time, he read her friendster profile and kept playing the video and song "No promises". This time, he has been playing a game called "Jawbreaker" in his handphone. He missed lendin her his handphone and let her play wif it again and again.

Now Dinie is thinkin bout life in NS. Due to the operation, there is a high probability of him goin to a C class. But still, he will miss his loved ones and friends.

This top secret blog is and will be a surprise.

Here's Dinie tryin out something new...
