I'm such a sentimental person.

Tomorrow i'm bringing down my art work since most people are lazy to climb 3 levels up to look at my work during the art grad show. BUMS! I'm quite shaken at the fact that i'm bringing it down tomorrow. It'll be a day of moving 4 monitors and CPUs down, laying black cloth again, hanging lights, swinging keys, working hard like i worked the past few weeks and saying goodbye to my dear Kent who helped me many times. Why do i sound like i'm preparing a funeral? Haha. Ok, i'm not. I'm just a little sad to move everything down because the dark room holds alot of memory. let me just thank many people...

KENT: who protected me from losing my finger when i was climbing up to hang cloth, wasted lots of electricity by switching on the lights and fans when i'm not around, who helped me create an impression with the examiners by meddling with my spacebar, for hanging up the cloth when i'm not around. Thank you.

HELMET HEAD: the one who always emo but at the same time make me laugh till i cry. For buying me breakfast, lunch, tea, whatever, for bringing me to Great world city, for attracting more helmet heads when we went out to eat, for revealing my secret and causing me much embarassement, for creating comics using photobooth that makes absolutely no sense, for being so drama when it comes to Bruce, for imitating hairspray, for helping me open my darkroom, for messing up my darkroom by lighting candles everywhere, for not helping me to clean up the mess you created, for understanding how i felt when my video could not work, for reminding me about dear T and Nic, for planningwith me how to climb the windows at parkway, for doing silly things which i'll never forget.
