you know, i really do enjoy living in jurong right now. yeah everyone thinks that the air we breathe here in the western end of singapore smells bad cos it is polluted by the industrial plants and, for my ntu friends, it is also sometimes a painful reminder of school. but jurong really is a great place to live. and the air here doesnt smell bad. just within 5 minutes walk from my house, i will be able to access the bus and train station, buy stuff at jurong point, gym at safra jurong and borrow books at jurong west community library. plus i have a direct bus to the adm bus stop! i think it would be very possible for me to not leave the vicinity of jurong if i wanted to. hmmm. i really do like it here right now.
i just finished an acrylic self portrait over two days. i quite like it though i know i have miles to go to be a polished painter. i bought two canvases from popular bras basah went i was there earlier this week. i will probably do another self portrait to complete the series. why self portrait you may ask? cos i am too afraid to paint someone else and make them ugly. yup, so that’s why.
