The Apple Diet

Obese Snow White started an Apple Diet
The Queen sent her apples from the Poison Tree
Poor Snow White dies
Of hunger or poison apples



03.12.2009

Some time in 2009 some where at a bookstore I read of  an interior scene as above from an interior design magazine.
Bought a dozen of imported apples from the supermarket just because the shape of the apple was perfect for shooting.
The preparation work was pretty funny -- I was biting 14 apples!
Until the fifth apple bite, I realized I actually could not finish eating all the 14 apples' bites!
Oh so the rest of the bites were kept in the fridge.

That night I used pillows and cushions to create the sofa as in the interior scene.
And set up the apples, red pumps, tv remote control, magazine, Michael Jackson's CD and "Angel and The Demon".
After a few runs from the camera and the scene, finally I accomplished this self portrait.
So what should I do with those bitten off apples?!
Well, I started a boring apple diet for a week...


I screwed up a relationship with a good friend few months ago, she hated me and we were no longer friends.
After a few church services, I finally sent her a text message to said sorry because I realized that I made a mistake of judging her.
She never reply and I always have bad dreams asking for her forgiveness.

No one has the rights to judge anyone, no matter how sinful they are.
Human like to judge, gossip, jealous -- these acts are as poison as apple.
What make a person different from the others is to be mercy to those who are sinful.
It's hard to be like Christ but that is what we should try to practice!

I am a very sensitive and emotional person. All my expressions are shown on my face.
Of course I show sour face when I am unhappy, and then I would be judged again.
Although my parents have advised me hundred times not to show sour face.
But I am sorry to say that this is who I am. I mean no harm. Love me or hate me.

Next time before you judge people, see how you would like to be judged.

Wednesday Friday Addams I

Wednesday Friday Addams couldn't think of other place to lie on
Looking at the blue sky and white cloud
She feels incredibly peaceful
Until the train arrived and horned



My cousin once said that I looked like Wednesday Friday Addams, because of my signature triangle shape mouth.
People used to tease me whenever I was not smiling:"What is that sour face?!"
And they laughed at me when I smiled:"Put a god damn bracelet on your teeth!" they said,
So I stopped smiling for a long time...

Halloween!!!
Oh I thought I could pretend to be Wednesday Addams during the Zombie Shuffle on 30th October in Melbourne.
Totally forgot about the exact date, I missed the event.
But I did took some photos of those Zombies when we passed by the city.
And ended up watching silly "Scary Movie" at home... what a pity!
I MUST attend Halloween costume party next year!

Finally we did this shot!
My attire was Wednesday Addams inspired, and bought a $5 bear from second hand market.
So I lied on the railway, the rocks were chilling.
I felt peaceful...but my boyfriend in the other hand felt the pressure because there were people waiting for the train laughing at me and people passing by shouting:" Oh God what is she doing?!"
And then we heard the train is arriving.
"Run!!!" silly me tried to get up from my heels, ran across the rocks and jumped on the platform... Phew!
Another great experience!

The Bed

Visited to Vienna art and design, wonderful and creative art and design by masters such as Gustav Klimt, Josef Hoffman, Otto Wagner and Adolf loss.


I have never seen product or furniture designs as breath taking as Josef Hoffman's designs. 

Simple yet creative, aren't that what we as product design students should apply in our designs?


Everyone loves Gustav Klimt and so do I.  

Spent 3 hours in the exhibition hall carefully studying at each Vienna art work, my waist and legs started to feel sore, I have to admit that my body is not as good as it was...

I sat on the couch and stared at Gustav Klimt's painted plaster "Beethoven Frieze" for 10 minutes. 
Marvelous! How on earth can an artist be so creative? But why not? The sky is the limit!
What I love about klimt  is the feminine elements in his art. 
I love to draw female character since I was five. 
And yes I admit that I love to observe female on the street, women are just so interesting.

I decided to paint for my boyfriend during our one year anniversary and  take Klimt's "The Kiss" as my inspiration.

The Bed is a painting of me curdled in my boyfriend's arm every night on bed.

His arm is the most comfortable place on earth. 

I can feel love I can feel secure I can feel happiness I can feel his shower of endless love.
He would kiss my forehead gently and tells me he loves my curly baby hair.

Our dog headie always sleeps on our quilt near my feet weighing all of our quilt and causes us not to have any. We often have to lift him up and pull the quilt, doing these two actions at the same time.

From Vienna to Paris - we watched the movie "Midnight in Paris" on a Friday night. Another awesome movie.


What's your golden? A strong theme throughout the movie.
Well my golden age would be 1950s.  I am a vintage fan. 

I love vintage clothes and accessories I love old songs I love old movies I love old folks! 

One thing we learnt from "Midnight in Paris" is that no matter what era we are living in, we must create what's beautiful that belongs to the era we are living in! Not trying hard to copy ancient masters' masterpieces! 

I can tell from first hand experience how difficult it is when I was trying to paint like Klimt's "The Kiss". 

That is not me, that is Klimt's style. 

So what is my style? What is my inspiration? What do I like?  I must find my own style in my own era!


The next day on Saturday afternoon, we watched "Made in Paris" (1966) from tv (I really enjoy watching old films), and watched "Backstage" (2005) at night. 

On Sunday afternoon we watched a black and white Parisian movie again from tv! 4 Parisan movies in 3 days?! These movies were filmed in different eras but there is one common thing about Parisan movies- 

Pont Neuf ( the arch bridge in Paris). 

It's so funny to watch the directors from different eras shooting the films under the same Pont Neuf !

"Give me a break!" my boyfriend said. 

Too much of Paris in 3 days, or maybe it's a sign? A sign for us to visit to Paris?
