One Day at the National Gallery

Today I went to the national gallery of Victoria to investigate neo-impressionism paintings for my research. For those who don't know, I study pointillism and divisionism art style to be adapted in computers. To put it simply, let's say that my work is to teach a machine to draw like a neo-impressionist painter. Sadly, they didn't allow me to take any picture in the neo-impressionism exhibition room :( but I took many picture of my girl Wilhelmina in the European gallery!

Mina and Monet painting

I can't believe they paint their gallery PINK!

Tired?

Perseus and Wilhelmina

She really liked this room I think

"They should belong together, Tieta. In one painting. Not separated like that..."

"oh God, what's wrong with you old lady?"

"Such a fine detail! Amazing!"

Wilhelmina and a very pretty portrait of a girl

This is Rembrandt, the famous Dutch painter

Just Another Joanna Day

My Fairy

I have a fairy by my side 
Which says I must not sleep, 
When once in pain I loudly cried 
It said "You must not weep" 
If, full of mirth, I smile and grin, 
It says "You must not laugh" 
When once I wished to drink some gin 
It said "You must not quaff". 

When once a meal I wished to taste 
It said "You must not bite" 
When to the wars I went in haste 
It said "You must not fight". 

"What may I do?" at length I cried, 
Tired of the painful task. 
The fairy quietly replied, 
And said "You must not ask". 

Moral: "You mustn't." 

-- Lewis Carroll

Exciting rite?? Aaaah i'm so happy i got a chance to go to that con. Too bad they don't have a Blythecon in Indonesia. Hey, how about I start one? :p

Joanna

She's my first Neo Blythe from Prairie Posie line. I actually got her like one month ago but didn't have time to post all of her pictures. I regularly post her pics in instagram tho, but I thought it would be nice to post her pics in my blog as well (because she's shooo cute!)

Her name is Joanna. I named her after Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion Lannister's mother, Joanna Lannister (although she's red headed, not Lannister blonde). She have four different eye colors: green, blue, yellow (the scariest), and brown. I carry her with me wherever I go: to class, choir reharsal, lab, park, shopping center, coffee shop, even campus lawn :p I just love her to death!

Here she is!

 When she's still in her box. She reminds me of Anne of Green Gables!

Bonjour!

Tywin's beloved

I showed her my favorite shelf at the bookstore

Allyria and her, reading Lolita together (Yes it's not a book for little kids, I know!)

She and the new JK Rowling book I got at BigW for only $20!

Fell asleep after reading, just like me!

Accompanied me during the IR assignment deadline. Such a lamb!

Had afternoon coffee together. Actually it was just me who are buying, she just sit at the table, looking cute

At our pre-concert rehearsal. My friends love her!

I'm planning to make some new dresses for her after I finished my thesis. Wish me luck for my defense guys!

Lately

Hellos!

Been completely missing in action for 1 month solid. As you know, I am a pretty busy grad student, with piles of assignments to do and tons of lecture notes to read. My assignment is next week, and I got two assignments on ONE DAY (how cool is that?). Also, the end is near! My thesis deadline is the week after the exam, and 2 days after the deadline, I will have my thesis defense! *cheer*

I'm not stressed, I'm happy because my sufferings will be over soon :') *denial denial denial*

Many things happened in the last 2 months. The most shocking thing is what someone did to me and it completely changed the way I see him/her. I don't want to talk about it, what's over is over, life must go on, rite? *again, denial* But still, I can't passed that trial without the support from my dear family and friends :) The thing is, I have another important things to think about and that overrode my thinking about that thing. And I'm grateful to have deadlines, chores, experiments, music scores, to wash away my sadness.

Anyhow, I also have a choir concert this week! I'll be singing there as a soloist for two songs from two broadway musicals, and I'm very nervous! Wish me the best of luck!

Blythecon Australia

I don't know why I just love this Blythe doll. I mean, some say that they're creepy. Yes they are creepy, but they're so gorgeous! >.< I want to get myself a full-size one, but when I searched for full-size Blythes in Ebay, the prizes are all above $100 *faints*

Sophie's obviously not a full-size Blythe. She's a Blythe from Hasbro's Littlest Pet Shop. She's coming with one pet (I named her Pauline) and her eyes is not changing colors (like the full-size one). But anyway, I'm gonna save up this month and get myself a full-size Blythe, maybe in the upcoming BlytheCon Australia they'll sell that gorgeous babies >.<

Can't wait for November!

Now, should I bring lunch from home everyday for my Blythe? I guess I should :p
