I must be the kaypo'est and freest dude these days. after my own investigative sleuthing I've come to deduced that when relationships fail these days for my age group it can only be for the following reasons:

Girls- If the girls leave the boys it can only be-

1) They have found someone with deeper pockets. hell yea. Dude face it, she NEEDS that spanking new "Ten Alligators died for it" Hermes Birkin "IT" bag and you can't afford it. He drives a Lotus, BMW, Volkswagen and your Japanese car isn't "HORRRRRRRRRRRRR" enough for her. Its not luxurious enough for her to risk a panty slip when she gets out of the car.
*Editor's note(so ladies, don't be dumb, go get a richer one if you intend to change. Don't settle for another loser!"

2)You are just too young and boring for her. She's had enough of you talking about ABEC bearings, Chris Farmers's 720 topsoul to 900 out or the 1001 reasons why you need to get to London for an education and career. "Huh Baby, you really don't like me telling you stories about the richest shark embalmer in the world?"(Read: Damien Hirst)
Try playing the guessing game with her about which Luxury brand is going to set-up stall at the new Integrated Resorts instead. Or which Michelin starred chefs are going to start cooking there.

3)She wants to start a family but you are not ready. "Bopian leh Baby, I still want to have fun first and not accidentally feed our baby with the milk from Bailey's."
"Honey, that money is for the milk to go with Bailey's!!! Not for Lil Matt BITCH!"
"And I also no money lei, my money all go to clubbing, buying skates, my cheap Japanese car and rent."
"Don't have enough for myself how to feed lil matt?"

4)You love pork but his religion forbids it!! how how how???and my PARENTS FORBID ME FROM CONVERTING!! AAAAH!!

Boys- If the boys leave the girls it can only be-

1) Very simple one, the sex is not good enough or you are his first sex partner. then sucks to be you. he wants to bong more before he gets married, preferably another 100 more ladies?

2) Your tits ain't good enough. ITS ALL ABOUT THE BOOTY BABY!

3) You have the booty but you don't have the brains. He needs someone who can dissect the financial meltdown with him, whine and cry when Dubai World defaulted and brought about a second round of emptying off his bank account. SO THAT YOU UNDERSTAND HIM WHEN HE SAYS THAT HE IS TRULY BROKE. Or even why he loves the richest shark embalmer in the world.

4) Your religion forbids pork BUT SHE LOVES IT!!! HOW HOW HOW??! Plus she keeps GOING ON AND ON ABOUT HOW GREAT PORK TASTES!!! HOW HOW HOW??

Camberwell 2nd Year!
now that the excitement and happiness has died down, i have to start hunting for scholarship.

Mr. Panoramic Singapore, my hope lies with you.

Seriously, if the name on everybody's lips this year, Robert Zhao, failed to get the overseas scholarship, what are my chances? and this is even after winning the TOP PRIZE in the UOB Painting of the Year award.

and boy am I glad I took Sarah's advice to go for the interview.

from intense talk over cheap beer on art and women, we have progressed to talking about money, quotations, commercial photography and more money. Or is this regression?

is such the harsh reality of life? the two ultimate dreamers in class reduced to obsessing about
bread and butter issues.
this is getting interesting.

no wonder people change and mature after becoming parents.

these little things have been engineered to suck out every ounce of caring, loving parental instinct from you.

i totally melted when i saw little Laurent.

evil things they are.
defenseless, innocent creatures now, hormonal cranky and rebellious teenagers very soon.

While Iran has outlawed homosexuality, Iranian Shi'a thinkers such as Ayatollah Khomeini have allowed for homosexual men and women to change their gender so that they can enter heterosexual relationships. This position has been confirmed by the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khomeini, and is also supported by many other Iranian clerics. Despite support for transsexuals from Iranian religious leaders, the Iranian society is not as accepting of them. Some transsexuals point out that in Iran transsexuals can change their gender after a sex change operation, a privilege not recognized in Britain.[34] The state will pay a portion of the cost for a sex-change operation.

of all places!

IRAN!!

WOW!

The chaste love of men for youths has been regarded as something sacred in many Islamic socities, as reflected in the romantic love literature of Muslim Spain and in the Qur'an where Paradise contains beautiful male virgins. Occasionally, these literary praises extended to more carnal forms of desire, as can be seen in the poetry of Abu Nuwas and many others. In Islamic teaching, however, while homosexual desire and love might be accommodated, same-sex intercourse is prohibited as a violation of the natural boundaries set by Allah.

Early Islamic cultures, especially those in which homosexuality was entrenched in the pre-Islamic pagan culture, were renowned for their cultivation of a homosexual aesthetic. They reconciled their new religion using a hadith ascribed to Muhammad declaring male lovers who die chaste to be martyrs: "He who loves and remains chaste and conceals his secret and dies, dies a martyr."

The result is a religion that allows love between those of the same gender as long as they do not have sexual intercourse. Ibn Hazm, Ibn Daud, Al-Mu'tamid, Abu Nuwas, and many others wrote extensively and openly of love between men. However, in order for the transgression to be proven, at least four men or eight women must bear witness against the accused, thus making it very difficult to persecute those who did not remain celibate in their homes.

The intended meaning of "same-sex intercourse" is sexual intercourse between two or more males, or sexual intercourse between two or more females. It does not mean the act of masturbation, nor does it have anything to do with nocturnal emissions, both of which are considered to invalidate wudu and require the Muslim to take a full bath or shower before his or her next prayer, but are not otherwise punishable under Sharia.

very interesting!
love is ok but no fucking?

ever since that little suggestion from Mr. C.Z.I. I've been pondering. pondering hard.

nothing much except for these fills up mind up on my 50mins journey to work and bad.

"how do I string all my work from the past 5 years together like Mr. Tilmans who does it so seamlessly."

"how do i bring it to the next level like Mr. C.Z.I. who made his multi-disciplinary?"
--maybe I should talk to you sarah. you can be quite enlightening at times.

"His work makes the most sense in recent years and its irritating how much sense it makes instead of just art world mumbo jumbo exploration of space and time."

"which other artists other than tracy emin and dash snow deals with relationships and diaristic installations?"--- i can't seem to find or think of any.

"who is that elusive bastard that deals with gallery interventions and subverting the gallery experience? I can't recall or find his name to do my research" fucking irritating"

"how do i marry commercial photography and my work into one sensibility?"

"will i ever make it?"

and yes, the occasional fleeting thoughts of girls too. haha, but abit of a waste of time.
I think my dry spell going to continue abit.

wish me luck, this saturday is my interview with a representative from Camberwell College of Arts.
