Special Arts Programme

I got recommended by teacher to do SAP (Special Arts Programme). I'm both exhilarated and worried. I sat down to draw just now and I realised I'm not all that good. I felt like crushing and crumpling everything I drew just now. Maybe I should stop being so pessimistic.
Stop worrying lisa!
I really want to get into SAP. I mean, I love art. 60% of my personal life is art. I do my work, feel sian, what do I do? Draw. I listen to class, get bored, what do I do? Draw. If all my artwork were to be compiled together I'm guessing it'd, I don't know, pile high high up. Haha.
I've loved art since I was a kid. My mom said I used to pick up colour pencils and start doodling on paper whenever I had the chance. I remember I once threw a tantrum at Marine Parade because my mother pulled me away from watching this artist draw. I believed I would have spent the whole night there just watching him draw. It was just amazing. I fell in love with the wonder of pencils/ colour pencils/ markers. The every stroke and line, even the strength you use to exert on the pencil comes into consideration. What the final result can be is just the most amazing thing ever.
I've to thank my 2 special friends, Vanessa and Ryan for really sparking that love for art I always had in me. Vanessa used to draw magnificent portraits of people and I've to give her 5 thumbs up. Once she showed me her mother's drawings and I was determined to be able to draw that. Though I've failed in many many many attempts, I'm never gonna give up. (: Ryan has taught me the basics to drawing and I really worked from it. He totally changed my view point of art. I moved from fail-portraits of humans to anime/cartoons. I started picking up strokes and lines and depth etc, and here I am now.

Don't mind my language, I know my grammar/vocab plainly sucks. I just got laughed at on facebook cause of a wrong usage of 1 simple word. Heck it. Language is the bain of my life.
I've had 3.6< gpa for everything else except language - English, Chinese, Literature, Japanese. I just can't score high enough for my language. It seems all so alien to me, I'm more of a Maths Science person I guess.
Kay, what an abrupt change of topic. I really hope I'd do well for the interview and get accepted into SAP. My life would have a really good meaning. :D


I found this picture on the web. Really cute. :D
私はがんばらなくてはいけません。 (Do not babelfish this, it's very inaccurate.)
Meaning: I must jiayou. Ahaha my direct translation!
