Tonight, tonight.

Ola mamis and papis and others that bask in the luxury of both.

I add a third category today because I just got home from late dinner with a group of friends and good people I just met, mostly of which are category 3 ladies. And it's awesome. A 'category 3' shouldn't even exist, I'd say... And human 'race' is all that should matter. And a priority of goodness towards people and planet should prevail above all things (religion, race, sexual orientation etc.). And people and planet shouldn't have to be separate categories too.

Oookkk. Alot of 'Ands' and 'Shoulds' today.

Today was a good day (I'm not going to write daily I think. Too taxing. My life's not that interesting anyways. If I wrote everyday, most posts would be mind-bleeding-long-pointless like previous post.) Anyway. Today was a good day :)

Luxuriously woke up at 3pm, ate t-lunch (tea+lunch hybrid) hopped on a train to KL to support 2 friends who were starring in a musical. Both studying performing arts. And dropped by a simple art exhibition which I stumbled on before the musical.

The artist's name is Lisa Roet. She specializes in Orang Utans. And you should visit her website to find out more about her because those two lines I typed are not a fair intro of the artist at all. ( http://www.lisaroet.com/biography.html )

These pieces were very simple on art paper and done with acrylic
(it felt like acrylic to the touch anyway).

These were some moulds from plastic against lightings.
There's a theme of 'danger' with the lightings.
Here I go again, stating superficial obviousness. My specialty.

I really liked her simple works. Not too embellished. I like that she dedicates all her art work to capturing our furry cousins in a simple, tasteful light and she lets the literal existence of the creature speak for its own charm. Alot of things in nature exist in very beautiful mathematical soundness, physical form and function. They don't need to be further embellished. Art with a cause. That's great.

I used to hate apes, chimpanzees, monkies and orang utans when I was young (single digit old, I'm still young). I liked baboons though, I found their exposed red butts funny and cute.. Most cartoons portray them in that light. That's all that mattered. When discovery channel showed documentaries on orang utans, monkies etc. I would disapprove and flip the channel. They weren't cute enough and I found them somewhat ugly. I think I almost hated them. Because sometimes out of the blue, when I think about 'What are my favourite animals', I always thought monkies are not adorable and think about the things that contribute to that like the usually brown colour of their fur, the long, thin, malnutrioned-looking fur etc. I also would hope that I don't have to pass by the monkey section in the zoo to get to the penguin or giraffe section. . Thank god such narrow-mindedness tends to get lost with age.
Hmm. I remember such small things in my long-term memory so vividly. But I don't think I remember what I ate few days ago.

I ate a fruit/seed thing from that flower in the last frame. I think it's a kind of lotus flower. No one else did that.. I don't think we're supposed to do that... No one was sitting at the desk. I've eaten the fruit from the flower before.. Sorry plant. Don't leave your plants unattended around me. I might be tempted to eat them.. Haha. Sofia, the lotus eater. True sometimes in more ways than one.

This charcoal sketch orang-utan hand welcomes us when we walk into the gallery. One on the left wall, another on the right wall and they looked identical. I don't know if it was meant to 'welcome' us. There was no commentary or person to comment. Maybe it's extending a palm faced up in a way to say 'help us'. Maybe the index and thumb are complimenting the orang utan's thought which says '' You bloody humans make decisions like you have brains (or other body parts) that's this big. " But the artist didn't want to sketch that negative orang-utan thought. Cause if some of us humans knew orang-utans had hostile thoughts about us, we might not want to help them as much. And little kids who thought like I did would hate them more and the hate would be cultivated further. Art is very subjective.

A very candid shot of me taking off my shawl. I kept everything else on.

Those two girls are the lovely ladies that I was supporting in the musical.

The musical thing was cool. It was a series of small acts and a short musical, titled 'The Chorus Line'. I love it when people express humanly emotions and inspire through photography, paintings etc. But when people express it through singing, dance, acting etc. , the physical involvement just gets a message across very quickly and very much more profoundly in terms of 'feeling it'. It's just something else. Tonight made me want to try acting for fun. I probably would only successfully do improvisations like.. "Ok Sofia. Feel the tree. Think the tree. Beeee the treee". I don't think I can play humans well. I think I have a poor comprehension of human behaviour.

I like blogging :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D It's great self-amusement. I'm allowed to talk about myself in essay long lengths.

I hope I don't bore you. I noticed the blog counter thing has reached 75. Not bad for 2 days. The counter only counts new people. I know because I tried refreshing the page few times to get the number to go up . . To make this blog seem popular. Haha. It didn't budge.

Don't budge, keep coming back to this blog pls.
And don't be shy to comment :) *inviting smiley*
Love, Sofia.
