The Birthday Party is a collection of children’s portraits. Speers has stripped away the stereotypes of childhood in a far cry from the usual idealisation of the ‘happiest days of our lives’. She reveals the cruelty, vulnerability and duplicity of children. She captures children happy to play with imperfection and embrace the grotesque; children with a sense of danger and disregard for the social expectations of a birthday party smile.
The resulting visuals are unsettling, with a transparency that is neither black and white nor colour, and the humanity neither that of an adult nor of a child.

random. but meaningful.

Discussing about future ambitions is such a futile attempt of hope. But at the same time, I wanted to call Jaime Dr Jaime Tan and see David with his lab coat and huge specs + his children named Logarithm and Pythogoras. I want to see Melissa in law school/ culinary school. I wonder how many will succeed in their dreams.

In 3 yrs I will be like 18, my childhood like a faraway dream/ but that doesn't stop me from hoping, or reminiscing. Today in the LT, we were like playing all those childish games, but oh what fun. Annabel aka ameerah/amirah was teaching Chowdhury how to play the chinese game with the translation. " We're up, we're down, we're back, front leg, we're 123, we're 456, we're 789, we're very good friends." Yongwei is the weirdest person to play za with. He will suddenly do paper. Crazy guy. But he still "owns" :/ Then there's the vampire game. HAHAHA. Thats how we pass time waiting for neutralization to occur ( +1 , -1) :(

Speaking of which, I haven't completed a single thing on my list of post exam acitvities.So meaningless. Lack of direction :( Where's yr motivation? Where's your 活力？

Things must be really going wonky for me to sprout chinese.
