Today I had
History of the Arts Module. My group was suppose to do on
European Medieval Art, our main task was to take some cultural influences and make them into a door design for an arts exhibition.
We somehow had our focus on the
'Viking'. They were also known as the Norse (
Northern) people from Scandinavia, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
Many Vikings were great travellers and sailed all over Europe and the north Atlantic Ocean in their
longships.
Some went as fierce pirate raiders: they stole treasure and attacked local people.
But most Vikings who sailed overseas were simply searching for better land for their farms.I've always stereotyped Vikings as the hardcore pirate raiders who always do harm to the people by which they robbed their lands of but I guess not all were what they were believed to be. Mostly were all misunderstood. Because of a minority that does bad deeds, it has tarnished the reputation of many who are merely victims. Another good example will be 'Terrorism'.
Do you know what is a
longship? It is the long looking boat that they travel in..
haha duh! Have you ever went to the fun fair and took the 'Viking' that goes up and down like a see-saw but steeper. Yep! that's it..
hahaha.
So we simply did a little bit of research and came up with some elements or objects to design our so called viking door for our presentation.
hahaha. OK ENOUGH with the history lesson MISS
FITANCREDI!
lol...
I have not been having enough sleep lately and my eyes looks panda-ish. Have you ever get caught sleeping and then were probed with a question that you can't answer..?
*Guilty faced* I kind of took a self-proclaimed afternoon nap, nodding away like a slow-mo headbanger, haha, during class presentation and I was asked to give my opinion on some chinese superstition art, she's so picking on me, knowing that I was oblivious to the presentation. What a meanie! Surprisingly, my brain juices didn't let me down at the most crucial moments in the history of my life.. gosh im so dramatic. I said something about their door design being really interesting and the research they did on the elements were thorough. A very diplomatic answer indeed. Haha. Like real. But at least I managed to escape being victimized by the meanie lady. Sorry to say the way she conducts her facilitation bores me.. to tears. zZzZ. Seriously she needs major consideration in getting a new job.. one which doesn't require enthusiasm. Like Seriously dude.. Sorry to say this.. U suck at your job.
I had a hell of a great time after school. Went for a mini reunion made up of 5 gals. haha. They were closefriends of mine during my ITE days back in Tampines. It's really great to meet up finally after like forever.. haha. We had steamboat. Laugh our asses off and ate our hearts out. I did not ate much though. Maybe because I did not had anything except for sandwiches and my stomach bloated with air which leaves to limited compartment. Excuses.?? NOPE! seriously dude.. I got full so fast. We then chilled at Mac Cafe for awhile.. and went separate ways. Though the meeting was short. I had a great time and it was really good to see them.. You guys are gonna be missed!
Took the train home.. I was smiling all throughout the train ride. . Tanx for sharing the indulgence. I have the sweetest friends ever. I felt so blessed. You will always be a part of me..
