hmm china won both the thomas and uber cups again! as expected.anyway here are a series of photos i recieved in a mail from qiang. i chose the best ones (imho).
it really doesnt get better than this right? i mean this is entirely chalk on pavement! i've never ever thought of chalk as being a very inspiring tool, even as a student who dabble in fine arts at the o levels. but wont you all agree is this beyond praise?
another similarly good piece. this time you can sort of tell it's chalk. but to achieve such depth and perspective? to really reinforce the sheer difficulty, here's the deal. try duplicating this on your flat roadside pavement with chalk!!
these 2 pictures show that really, as expected, these can only be appreciated from a set position. but even so, look at his foot! there is just no way i can convince myself that the pavement is totally flat!
these 2 are the best in my opinion. i guess i dont really have to say much. juast look and marvel!! i'd really love for one of my walls or floors to be done by someone of his calibre!
you know how in life, sometimes we just hope to be recognised for things that we do. like how well we ace our exams or how well we excel in our sports. and more often than not, when we dont get the praise or admiration we seek, we subconsciously try to maneouvre the other party into giving that which we seek? come on, i'm sure this is happened before. the disregarded straight A's report card or the disinterested look on your friends' faces when you show them the latest trophy youve just won. then something in you makes you say something like "the last match was against this formidable person and i could have lost but..." it's happened and probably with greater frequency in guys. but these pictures will always remind me, that if your work is really deserving of any praise at all, you really dont need to be "begging" for it.
going to try "the canteen" by les amis soon. hope it's good. got my $20 voucher and promised to treat lt and yq last year. to bad lapin is only available in their more expensive branch. dang!
