Absolutely busy

What have kept me from blogging the past two weeks:

1) Started work as a replacement teacher
2) Coaching the school basketball team
3) Finishing up the wall graffiti (it's taking like ages to complete...)
4) Work on a web project with deadline due in March
5) All the work a teacher has to do -- marking test papers, preparing lesson plan, etc.

So ironic. Had such a hard time struggling to get out of the school, but now I'm going back there. Shouldn't I be spending my time somewhere else? I do enjoy being with the cute little Form 1 kids, but I never really liked teaching.

Ah, I should prepare for class now.

Renovation: The graffiti

After completing the basic wall painting, I put down the roller and picked up the saw and hammer. I went "Ka Keng the Carpenter" for a few days and made the bedside furniture pieces. The outcome was less than stellar, but suprisingly good for someone who completed his Kemahiran Hidup four years ago. *Pat myself on the shoulder*

Tired, bored and the project proved more demanding than I initially thought, I took a break and postponed doing the graffiti. So I did the easier tasks like sticking up a few posters, rearranging the shelves and made a really simple Picasso imitation for the work area. Below is the original Picasso piece. I will not post the lame imitation I made.


Then I started with the graffiti two days ago. It needs another day to completion, and so far this is the progress. I must admit up front the ring did not turn out well, but most rings I have played with in the real world are not perfect either. Ah, what a perfect excuse...



Once the graffiti is done tomorrow *fingers crossed*, Renovation is complete.

Next up: Project Numero Uno and Project muSION (Act II).
