The Da Vinci Code!

Well, as you can see, we took some neoprints today. If I may say so, the sianess i felt during Drawing Essentials today faded off once i set foot into Tampines Mall. Thank goodness lessons were 2 hours only as compared to the normal 3 hour lesson as Melissa, our French or Italian lecturer, had to go off early. You wanna noe something damn funny yesterday which happened to me? I usually disturb Melissa wen she says her favourite quotes such as "Not bad, not bad at all", and "Very good, very good" by laughing but she definitely doesnt noe why i laugh. haha... oh well, back to yesterday, she was helping me edit part of my drawing. Den while helping me, she happened to compliment my drawing by saying "not bad, not bad at all". I burst out in a short laughter. It was so hilarious cos with her accent, its damn funny. It may not seem funny here on words, but if u experienced it, u would laugh along. My friend, Lava Girl, also laughed. Oh ya, so after tt short burst of laugh, i made it seem as if im coughing. haha.... den wen she walked passed Ubaida to the other table, i continued laughing and laughing till i was mad. ahha... It was extremely hilarious.

Today, at Drawing Essentials, i did not have the feeling or urge to draw. so i slacked a bit and did not Focuuus on my drawing. Wen it was complete, my friend said it looked like Batman. So, i added ears to his head like Batman's and played around with my drawing. The class uproared in laughter.

Today's prayer meet, the Da Vinci Code was brought up. It was during this time wen i had like a vision of some sort, how it relates to the Cruxifiction of Christ in the past. I'm not saying we do not cruxify(metaphorically used) him at all. But i managed to see using "Other Ways of Seeing" learnt in Communicating Design Ideas class, a different way of seeing this whole mockery of the Christian Faith. 1stly, i see Dan Brown as being the modern day Judas. Trying to make money using God in a bad way. Like in the Bethlehem times, Judas was given money by the high priests on Jesus's expense. Same way dontcha think? Wait wait! The whole movie is the main Cruxification of Christ as it is used as a mockery of Christianity. Therefore, those who want or went to watch the movie are the people who got Jesus onto the Cross, shouting to Pilate to "Cruxify him!" So the same way, we are re-cruxifying him all over again. In addition, those who boy-cott the movie are his disciples, the one who went into hiding and like Peter, acted as if they didnt noe Jesus. While in modern day time, we are not discouraging people not to watch this movie. SO, FELLOW FRIENDS! THIS IS THE BATTLE WE HAVE TO FIGHT FOR! ARE WE GONNA SAY YES TO SIN? NO!!!! ARE WE GONNA BOYCOTT THE MOVIE "THE DA VINCI CODE"? YES! ARE WE GOING TO DICOURAGE OTHER PEOPLE TO? YES! YOU MAY THINK HOW 1 PERSON CAN PREVENT PEOPLE FROM WATCHING THE SHOW? WELL, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD, AND IF WE ALL UNITE LIKE IN A CAMARADRE AS GOOD PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT RELIGION OR RACE, WE CAN ALL PREVENT THIS UNRELIGIOUS ACT FROM TAKING PLACE AND MAKING MONEY EVEN IF IT IS OUT OF CURIOUSITY!

I did learn a thing or 2 at prayers today. It was interesting if i may say so...
