312# The transcedence and decadence of medicine

312# The transcedence and decadence of medicine


The submission of artworks for IMU's international art competition has been ended on Tuesday. Themed "History of Medicine", a very narrowed yet pointless theme, where no one actually knows how to draw.

On the tuesday itself, i drove to uni just to submit my works at last minute. And i only titled and wrote the descriptions at the very last minute as well.

Same as last year, i submitted two blank inked drawings, which i will not able to win no matter what. I prefer to draw feminine, sexual and violent things, still.

Non winning artworks can be collected back by the participants. Better still, i can collect my non winning drawings back.





I required to draw a wheelchair in one of my work. I actually snapped a few photos of wheelchair when i went to the hospital to visit someone.

A prosthetic was also drawn in the same picture. But this isn't as lucky as that because i was totally lack of reference to draw. I don't have any real life prosthetic to refer with, therefore i drew it out by using my very own design.

Hope the judges can see that is a prosthetic there.

But it doesn't matter already.





As i mentioned i went to uni to submit my artworks on tuesday. I called chan out because we had something to do after that. Having an extra plain A4 paper with me, chan had an evil thought.

He wanted to enter the art competition as well.

Damn, this could be really funny. The deadline of submission is that day itself, on 5.30pm where the time the Student Affair Department closes. Having the time of 4 hours before 5.30pm, we decided to work it out.

It was a holiday that day where casual wearings are allowed in the library but except 3/4 pants and slippers. With that banned outfit we invaded the library before the infamous librarian chased us away.

We went into the com lab because chan needed to print the form out as to enter the competition.

Spotted yokie there studying as well for her coming pharmacy final exams, chan managed to get 3 pieces of plain A4 papers, plus a few color pens and a highlighter as the material to draw.



50% - i think you can already get the meaning of this drawing.


We went to the 4th floor and chan started his conspiracy.

He wanted to submit a work not for the sake of winning the competition, but to show the real side of medical field instead.

I assume that the theme "History of Medicine" wants something regarding the history and the progress of the medical field, where most of the people will think about the progression of medicine, pharmacology, and as well as the people who contributed in the medical field.



75%


But being a Chan, an extraordinary people with extraordinary mind, he decided to draw something else out of the frame.

"People will only draw how great the medical field has progressed, i'd prefer to draw the decadent part of medicine."

Titled "Decadence" and i don't even understand the description itself due to my limited english comprehension, i think this work is going to be a big ass kickin' one.

You got to see it by yourself on monday when they exhibit the drawings in imu... Chan ones definitely rocks and stand out from the rest.





Even Sree was there to hang around with us. He won a consolation prize last year, but he didn't managed to join this year though.

Heard from chan that today he spotted his drawing at the 4th floor. Seems that the uni isn't that bad to treat it as a prank and throw away his drawing.

Lectures will start on monday and i'll be back to uni. Heard that there are more than 60 drawings submitted. Being an international art event, i expect nothing less from them. I heard there are some drawings are like primary school kid works though. Nonetheless, this could be the largest art competition i've ever joined.

But i have only joined imu's art competition only by the way, LOL.





Being an international event, that explains why the first prize is RM2,500 and the total of RM7,500.

But anyway, it's already "GG"-ed. I can't even win a consolation prize of RM500.

I didn't even know what did i drew.

A piece of crap...

No, i drew two pieces of craps.

311# Saving cpu, save me from myself

311# Saving cpu, save me from myself


Finally i am able to post something here. My cpu wasn't doing well during the past few months.

DVD writer was down, more than 6 DVD-Rs failed, wasted. Cpu problem.

I can't use the msn live messenger, because it kept logging off by itself. Cpu problem again.

Persistent spyware disabled by Ctrl+ function, therefore i can't copy and paste, but only drag and drop. Zone Lab, AVG seemed can't do anything about this. Somehow in the end i downloaded trial pack of Norton to get rid of this.

It's been 3 years i'm using this cpu, therefore i decided to send it to reformat it.





After i reformated it, a few other problems rose.

I'm using china mari chiplak external modem (thanks to the farked up braodband promoter) instead of tm nut plug and play modem, therefore installation is needed for the modem.

After days of days failing to connect to the internet, finally manual IP address settled the connecton problem. Torrent isn't moving fast though. And my connection at jpopsuki torrent tracker shows "BAD". Damn.

After reformatting the cpu, the DVD writer gets to burn DVDR with its full capacity. Buffer level gets to maintain at its maximum level, thus from 1 hour i get to complete a DVDR around 10 minutes. Thank god i can backup my datas now.





Having enough of computer problem, another problem bothering me is the course.

Everyone is lacking the motivation to study during endocrine system because of the long holiday. That was reasonable for me to being slacked.

But now endocrine course is over and we have finished half of reproduction system course, i still can't get my motivation back.

Maybe it's because of the 1 week break during the Hari raya that makes me lazy. Expecting a one week holiday makes me take things for granted, therefore i feel damn lazy to study.





Didn't really study much in the library, but talk cock and do shits instead. Because most of my friends around are not studying!

Went to play DoTA to overcome my depression, but that only make it worse instead.

I swear i'm not going to waste time and money to play DoTA already. Serious.

I'm serious ok?





By the way, have anyone eaten the "kai pa fan" aka chicken chop rice in Subang Square before? RM6.50 with chicken chop, rice, mash potato, coleslaw and egg? Unbelievable.

I drove all the way to subang square just to try the KPF out few days back. But i didn't manage to do so.

I found a parking, but my friend didn't. He swore not to go subang anymore due to the traffic change.

Pathetic. When to eat the more expensive fast food instead.





Working on a few artworks currently to take part for the imu art competition. Didn't really know it's an international event... That explains why the total prize of RM7,500...

I'm not expecting anything from it like last year. I drew two drawings and both didn't get picked last year when i entered. Worst thing is that the people there didn't even know how to place my drawing.

Therefore i shall draw something within human level this time.

Is there anyone else who is joining as well?
