Okay! So I have been seriously slacking with my SG Blog, and just the whole site in general. Sorry folks! However I wanted to share these unbelievable drawings that the talented Makavelli drew for me on my birthday!







I'm in love!! So thank you so much Makavelli <3 For making my birthday so much more special
You are the fucking man!!!

And also a big thank you to everyone else who sent birthday greetings my way! I appreciate it a lot! Real update coming soon, but for now I think this visual feast of pure awesomeness is enough to keep you all amazed. Go tell Makavelli how talented he is!

Well I decided it was time for an update...because I really need to vent -- and don't really feel like there's anyone in London that I can speak to at this moment in time.

I had my assessment for the term yesterday -- and my (new) tutor failed me -- based solely on the fact that he didn't like my final piece for our self-portrait project. ALL of my work and research was complete -- and instead of giving me constructive criticism on my final piece he decided to completely rinse me in front of the other tutor on the assessment panel.

First he asked me if I knew what his job was upon returning into the assessment room. I knew instantly that this was a bad sign...and when I answered his question with a nervous tone in my voice he completely ripped me apart. I was told that my illustrations could have been done by a monkey, that I am relying too heavily on trying to 'look sexy' for male tutors to pass the course -- and in fact don't look sexy I look stupid. He told me that if I had had a female tutor doing my assessment that they would have been offended by my obvious desire to get a passing mark based solely on (again) "triying to be sexy" I was also told that my work is GCSE style bullshit, and that I should burn my work.

He didn't bother to tell me what I could do to improve my work -- or what about my illustrations/self portraits/photography was 'trying to be sexy but failing' and left me feeling like a big fucking idiot. I also know for a fact that others on my course didn't even bother to hand in a final piece for the self-portrait (and were also referred as I was) but didn't recieve any abuse at all -- they were just told to do the work that had been asked of them nicely and told that they would get a 'pass' when the work was handed in.

I'm so fucking angry and upset I don't know where to begin. I worked hard this term (maybe not as hard as I could have) but I know that I didn't deserve to be told I was unintelligent and a monkey. I don't want to let this shit get to me...but I can't stop crying and feeling like an absolute failure. I don't know how I'm supposed to bring myself back into class after Easter Holidays either because I feel like I've been subjected to abuse. I know I'm not the most talented artist in the world, and I don't claim to be...But I'm also not some ditzy slut who tries to sleep with their professors to get her marks...and I feel like I've been made out to be exactly that. I'm beyond disappointed and my confidence has been crushed all over again.

Art school fucking sucks.

Dig my new septum piercing! 'coz I do. And will do so even more in a few weeks once I can change the retainer for a proper ring. 'Coz let's face it...you can hardly see that shit.

And yes. I know that picture is ridiculous, but then again so am I. So it feels super appropriate. Much like my short concise sentences.

Not much has changed in the life of Wu as of lately -- I have a huge graphics design project due in a few weeks that is incredibly important to me passing the year; and of course I haven't started it yet. And I have started smoking (pot -- I don't do the cigarette thing anymore thank god) again, which is not ideal. But so so tasty.

-About my disappearing hopeful status-

Tonight Dave is coming over and we're going to eat burgers and revive our old game of Final Fantasy VII (I replay that game every couple of years). I'm stoked!!!

That's it for now

ps. who here is going to the explosions in the sky gig on the 30th?? If you are hit me up! Maybe we can link up x

pps. this guy is my new hero:

Happy 2008 Everyone!!!




Hopefully everyone had a fantastic kick off to the new year. Mine was pretty fucking ace! I ate a nine course FEAST with my family plus a close friend of mine in Hong Kong (yes! I spent it with my parents) Sipping bellinis and stuffing my face full of tasty morsels like spicy salmon rolls and delicious steak. It kinda fucking rocked. Then I ran off to meet my more party-going type friends who were all insanely plastered on one drug or the other and sloshed beyond recognition. But everyone was so happy -- it was just nice to see smiles and nothing but positive energy -- and at the end of the night/next morning:


/snarfs

Good stuff!!! My holiday was absolutely everything I could have asked for and more! I'm feeling so much more relaxed than when I first left London (which is essential for the growth of my little nuglets of hair) The alopecia appears to be slowing down...but I'm on steroids and every vitamin under the sun, so everyone cross their fingers for me that when I taper off the steroids I won't lose what's left of my patchy mane. I took over a thousand photographs in digital and polaroid film over the break -- but it would be mere insanity to try and share them all with you. So here's a selection of the goodies.


Brian. My gorgeous big sister. Kim out in Wan Chai for a regrettable night which ended in us all helping some stupid girl with alcohol poisoning. Her asshole boyfriend left her on the side of the road with a concussion. Ugh. -__-
BUT
before tending to her there was a lot of this:

and this!

My friends and I also broke into Santa's Mansion inside one of the posh malls in Hong Kong, and basically violated his entire home. That fat hedonistic bastard had it coming. The next day the entire 'mansion' had been shut down. I felt like a little kid again, and admittedly it was fun.



gangstaaa!!!

...Rosa the gingerbread theif stealing all the edibles in the house:

...and now the narrative is going out the window and I'm just gonna end with a couple more pictures that I like

Me and Karen in manual focus -- unfocused.


Tiamat jumping on the goddamn New Rave bandwagon


Brian and I after feasting on sushi for about an hour




aww! hes cute isn't he?

AND finally a sorta group picture of everyone (mind you a lot of the group isn't here):


ANND I'm spenT! I could go on and on about all my dramatic stories and the good and bad, but I'll save them all for people in the real world. nyuk nyuk! I hope all ya'll had a great one though, and let's hope that this new year will be much better than the last!! Peace be to all of youu and a big smooch to trickynicki who goes gray on the 10th -- Imma miss you around these pink ends girl! xxx

Until my next blog...(which probably won't be for ages since I suck at updating) here's a photo of how I currently feel about going back to uni having not done our Christmas assignment

Man, It's been a busy past couple of months!

I've been neglecting the SGworld for awhile now. I've been too busy with university work and vindictive ex-girlfriends, yknow how it goes. So I apologize for my lack of activity on here, although I'm pretty sure it hasn't offended or effected anyone. Buut now that I'm on holiday I'll be logging in for the boobies on a regs muwahahaha!

I'm back home in Hong Kong at the moment visiting my family, chowing down on mochi ice cream, and awaiting my big sister's return home tomorrow (w00t!). Battling off jetlag and snuggling with the latest member of my family, Tiamat.



she's cute, huh?
...
And I'm relaxing to the best of my ability, trying to allow my hair to grow back, my mother has offered to pay for a weave or some extensions for me in the meantime to bring my confidence back up to par. So I'm happy about that. Coz let's face it, it really sucks having bald patches at twenty. LULZ (not real ones though)

emo-ness aside though life's going well, and I just thought I'd leave a little update....I'll be back later with photos and other visual goodies. Peace Out! x

So, I haven't really been as active on here as I once was...life's been handing me all sorts of hurdles that I keep collapsing on, and I'm having a lot of trouble holding my head up high. I don't want to go into huge deatails of my life in a blog, so I'll just say a few things. And spoiler them for those of you who don't want to hear me moan.

.extreme rant found in spoiler.

...anyway. I'm dealing. And I'm sorry to rant about it on my blog. But it seems to me, that my friends don't really know waht to say to me. And everyone just stares at their shoes when I tell them about the condition and show them where its affecting me. I don't really need words to feel better though. I just want to be listened to....

I've started my new year of uni (which is so far so good...it's really nice to have something to do with my time, and the opprotunity to be creative with myself. I've been feeling so uninspiried, and every piece I try to work on I give up on halfway through..LE SIGH.

However. That's not to say I'm completely and utterly unhappy and sulking. I'm just going through a difficult period. I'm looking forward to this Friday as my mother who I haven't seen for what seems like ages is stopping through London, and going to come party with me. (She's a cool mom) So, w00t! I have many things to celebrate. And I'm gonna do just that, regardless of my stupid hair condition and the people in my life who have helped bring my anxiety and stress levels to the peak they are at presently.

Anyway. Enough of this.
Happier blog by the end of the week. I promise. This was just for me to unload on.

Jesus!
It's been ages since I updated. I'm sorry for being MIA for so damn long. I have been out and about in Hong Kong for the past month frequenting the arcades and bars -- and of course escaping to the rooftops of skyscrapers to smoke spliffs, always twitching and looking over my shoulder out of fear for the HK poh-lice.
No, seriously though.
Cops in this country fuckign terrify me. Even when I'm not doing anything illegal (and really the only 'illegal' thing I ever partake in is smoking...which imho should be LEGALIZED) but lets save that rant for another blog.

I got a shiny new digital SLR for my birthday as well, and so have just finished reading the user manual for the second time. hahahaha I feel like such a n00b, and I have much to learn. But I can't wait to start getting out there and shooting. When I get back to the UK I'm going to be hunting down models to shoot with! I wanna get into my fetish photography. Not just for my own kicks and kinks I promise :p
-EDIT-
and so here are some photos that have been taken on it when I've been out and about on the prowl. None of these have actually been taken by me hahahaha! But once I get handier with my camera I'm sure I'll be wanting to show off my shots.

me and my girl Rosa <3

and of course, it wouldn't be a trip to HK without sticker photos (which none of my local friends will do with me anymore -- 'TOO COOL' for that shit now. So when Maya came to visit from the UK, I brought her to take some

AND. can I please bitch/rant/vent about the fact that:
I never got around to reading Harry Potter because some asshole revealed part of the ending to me, and I've been pissed off about that ever since. Wtf.

Anyway, despite me being on holiday there is not much else to report. I would like to add though that the beautiful Leandra has a set up for SCS -- and its SO HOT. Go check it out and leave her love now, the girl needs to be pink. 'Nuff said.

PS. someone tell me where i can find a pair of these:

7-11 in hong kong


...wet trousers?
