Day 1 of Life

I had my day one. First day of tagging in my first posting. Ohya by the way, i'm posted to MEDICAL UNIT. So for those who know, you should be able to imagine how it's like. Non-stop. Reached the ward at 6.30am, start off with blood taking, review the patients in your cubicle, then ward round starts at 8am. After round is ward work, man the documentation is overwhelming. Fill in all the forms,

Darren's Card Revelations 2

Filmed a vid sometimes ago and took the minimum time to edit it and now it's here. My 2nd vid in card revelation. Enjoy!P/s: The vid quality might be compromised due to that it's compressed to 1/10 its original size to ensure the good flow in running. Apologies for that!=)

Farewell

I'm leaving KL tomorrow. At 6am early morning, gotta reach Ipoh at around 9am to report duty, then go to Hosp. Taiping to settle down. Friday is gonna be my first day of housemanship. Arggh in other words my good holiday time has reached an end. Have been trying my best to settle everything before I go but still there's somethin unfinished. Havn't updated this blog with the Dunhill show,

One More Step Closer

The long-awaited mail is finally in my hand. My USMLE Step 2 CK result. I've dreamed about this moment at least 5 times when i was waiting for it, think i'll probably go crazy thinking about it if it comes much later. So, opened it with fine tremor, and YES thank god and everyone, I passed! So relieved. I Think this is the best present to me before my housemanship. Haaaaapppy=D

full moon

Last Saturday I drove into Poughkeepsie to the Cunneen Hackett Arts Center to see Ann Haaland's beautiful paintings, which were featured in this month's Chronogram.
Ann and I met at a Highland Arts Center workshop a few years ago and we keep in touch by email. Somehow our schedules never seem to allow for a real sit down. The last show she had in Kingston, I drove up just as she and her husband were packing the last of the paintings into the car. And she's had two shows in New York that I could never manage to get to. I wasn't going to miss this one for anything.
Then I drove over to Kingston for the opening of The Art of Play at the Donskoj Gallery. My Sacred Dolls and Lint Balls were in the show, along with great pieces like the Anarchist's Bowling League, Nipple Rings and Good vs. Evil. The entire show is on the website, with better pics than mine, so check it out.
As for this week, I'm jamming a lifetime into every day. I'm subleting studio space on the Lower East Side from my friend Linda, who's off to a residency for the month. It's great to have the peace and quiet, and though I haven't geared up yet, I'm sure it's going to be a productive month.
The moon is full and I feel full of possibilities, thanks in great part to working with my art coach Brainard Carey, who along with his wife Delia is working on a collaborative video installation for the Whitney's Altria space on 42nd Street, across from Grand Central.

Dunhill's "Project Blaine"

Here it is, the major event in my schedule, the "Project Blaine" presented by Dunhill. The project's name is indeed a flattering one. HEHE. I'm happy that they used my idol's name, or if it's that they think i'm by any means comparable to him, i'll be euphoric to death. Ha. Alright come back to the event, it's a four-night performance taking place in Kota Kinabalu and Kuching, 2 nights for
