Scribbles to Memories

This week is the last lesson for creative thinking.
Therefore, instead of the usual groups of 5 group work & presentation,
Ms Tan Ai Khim told us to draw a short comic for a random classmate.
She said this is the chance to create memories with this classmate; a memento.

-------
Firstly, we all obtain a piece of a4 paper, and was then instructed to scribble randomly on it from a start point and to an end point.

Secondly, we are then told to fold the paper into 6 boxes, and then use a marker to mark the fold lines.

Lastly, Ms Tan collected all the a4 scribbles and hand out each randomly to everyone.

What I have gotten
I received Shirley's scribbles.
Wow, this must be fate. Somehow we always "encounter" each other by chance. Whether it's religious beliefs, rants, the number placement in the attendance sheet; her's just below mine, interests that aren't common(at least among girls); we both play Dota 2, we were so shocked when we both found out, didn't expect each other to play. And the fact that we sat together for the very first lesson of college, becoming friends.

Surprisingly, we don't really share the same wave length though.
Fate is sure weird.

Everyone's ready
By using the lines, we're to use our creative skills to decipher what each line can look like and make a story out of it.
It's time to let imagination do the job!

Finished drawing
Halfway through this drawing, Ms Tan started to play interesting videos for us to watch. It was quite distracting as I was working and I wanted to watch the videos too.

This comic I made for Shirley is an inside joke that only her or Dota players can understand.
The joke is basically just about the Dota character, Pudge which is Shirley's most hated character in the game and game tropes.

Shirley, scarred for life
Hmm.. If I were to describe Shirley..
First impression, she's an aloof person; cool and distant. However that doesn't mean she's unfriendly, she's probably just thinking what to eat for lunch. I am certain it's 100% Mos burger. She has this mysterious air around her, kinda reminds me of a cat.

She's also..
Fashionable! I think everyone can agree with me on this. Judging from her in game profile picture, I believe she's really into fashion models, especially Western/European.

Independent. She does things on her own. She's not subjected to be in control by others, capable of thinking and acting for oneself. I guess she resembles a lone panther then?

Ugesh, why so tall lah
When the lesson was ending, I was thrilled as I wonder who made a comic for me.

It was Ugesh!! He's really huge; thanks to his almost daily workout. It was a new experience to take a picture with someone as big as him.

My experiences with Ugesh isn't much but I can tell that..
He's a really cool person. As in, very calm & composed and has his own style that stands out.
He's friendly. I was slightly intimidated at first because he's really tall, but when I spoke to him, everything went smoothly, he's really chill!
and finally, I feel that he's really mature, I'm not sure how to describe it but, it feels like he's really an adult, I guess? maybe because of age differences.

Surprise!

This is the comic that he made, about life journey & love.
A man's rough journey and at the end he is able to find his one true love at the end.
At the back of the page, he added on with saying that I should keep moving forward and shouldn't give up for at the end I will meet a good life.

But does a good life equates a good love story? I guess love is an element that contribute to a good life.


Debbie, a sweet girl
If I were to describe Debbie..
She's a meticulous person. You would mistaken her for a JC student or a Polytechnic student studying a math/science course. She's always punctual, in fact she's always arrive early to class.

Like her name, she's cute, and she LOVES cute things. She has that child-like cuteness. That doesn't mean she's childish though, she's actually a very serious person.

She's good at speaking. I'm sure everyone has noticed that she's always the one speaking in presentations in her group. She's vocal and isn't scared of attention.


Siew Kei, SK. Not SK Jewelry.
If I were to describe Siew Kei..

She's diligent. She always completes her work on time and you can really see her effort in her works. And the fact that she works to upkeep her stay in Singapore as she is from Malaysia.

She's independent. Like what I mentioned, she works to upkeep her stay in Singapore. To add on, she lives alone. That's admirable.

She's also fashionable. Always wore clothes that fits her and it's obvious that she keep up with fashion trends.

She would make a good big sister character.

Liliana, sweet enough for diabetes
Liliana is very adorable.
like her mannerism and reaction and stuff. Very adorable.
I really think she's incapable of being angry. She's also very tease-able despite being 2 years older than me. I love her company; she's really easy going person & amiable. Charming in her own way.

If I were to describe Liliana..
ADORABLE


Huei Hao aka the most admirable person I know
If I were to describe Huei Hao...

He's super hardworking & diligent. I cannot emphasis in words, how hardworking he is. He's work ethic is simply, superb. I'm not sure how he manage really, I can't imagine being in his situation.
He goes back to Malaysia everyday, 5 hours a trip. If we were to count back and forth, that's 10 bloody hours. And to add on, it's 5 SGD a bus ride (or was it RM?), that's 10 SGD! AND his drawings are really good! You can tell that he is really serious about his studies. He also works 16 hours a week to earn some money to upkeep his studies.

He's ambitious. Ambition correlates with diligence. He aspires to be an comic book artist, specifically, an manga artist in Japan. That's why he is studying Illustration & animation (same course as me!).

He's also level-headed; a composed and sensible person.

I'm really glad that I met someone so serious and ambitious like him as it motivates me to work even harder too.

P.S Do a speech in the future when you're successful Huei Hao!
