One full day of stencil spraying

Ah, seems like there is no plans for tonight, so I decided to move on to the second layer tone after being done with the first. There are so many lessons to be learnt today about doing multi tone stencils.

Firstly, newspaper sucks big time. Especially if your background is white. Then alot of those black stains from the ink will ruin alot of it. It seems I may have to touch it up alot after I’m done.

Secondly, it pays to get all your measurements right. The ENTIRE picture.

Anyway, enough about lessons. I’m quite happy that the second layer stencil measures up quite nicely though. All those hours cutting those details paid off. Getting excited on seeing it completed, though I’m mentally prepared to do it all over again. The one I’m doing now really is like a first try. But of course if it turns out good, then I wouldn’t need to make a second one.

I’m thinking, the next time, if it’s possible to print the whole picture out in it’s actual size layer by layer by matching up endless pages of A4 prints on one huge mahjong piece and then cutting it out. Then lacquer the mahjong piece front and back..

ok, I’m thinking aloud to myself, still welcome anyone to comment on that idea though.

The Spray Starts

Started on my spraying today. As expected, there were some screw ups already. Damn it. Typing this blog as I’m waiting for the spray to dry. Hmm. I hope it’s still recoverable. Anyway, I’m taking alot of pictures of the process, wonder what I should do with them.

Yawn, so tired suddenly. Wonder if my friend will take up my movie offer tonight.

Velvet Reminiscence

I was given an insightful, honest and straight forward comment on the first impression that I give people.

And I was told that on first impressions, I’m a player. I was also told, I can flip both sides. So last night, I flipped for my new found friend the other side of me. The softer side of me, which shocked him LOL. I wonder if that would scare a new friend away. But it was interesting the things we said and I must admit though, the “advice” that they kind of gave me was something which I have heard a million times before, and it was advice I could regurgitate anytime. I told my friend, that no matter how hard you try, you can never convince me to heed those advise, because I’m like that.

One piece of interesting conversation last night was this (italics is me):

“No one comes here just for the music.”

“I’ll honestly tell you that I’m here for the music.”

“Bullshit.”

“It’s up to you to believe. “

Is it that hard to go to a club and just dance for the music?

Now I wonder, would these friends still see me as a fun person or a fucked person just because I don’t subscribe to their mentality?

Who cares.

IPPT day

Just to reiterate, I was at Velvet last night and I got home at 2 am. I did drink some, not alot.

I woke up this morning at 7:15 am and I didn’t have breakfast, just one coffee.

Below is my IPPT result slip.

I don’t know what to say. 

Yeah. Wasted. There goes an extra 200 bucks

New found friends

I’m so glad I went to Velvet tonight. And thankfully I got in free.

Cheers to new found friends, heartfelt conversations and a whole load of fun.
