Wow , you definately 100% can draw better than Naruto the pang sai. (If you didn't know what Naruto is, just know that it is an pang sai that enough and didn't even try to watch or read the manga, or else you will just get "poison" like me.)
Anyway for your maths problem, I do heard that local trainer like Adam Khoo do have some study technique which allow you to "study less but achieved more" and there were some positive results from their students. If you want, there is no harm in trying their service :
1) Adam Khoo Learning Centre : http://www.aklc.com.sg
2) Adam Khoo Youth Division : http://www.empoweringyouth.com.sg
Otherwise, just in case you need to re-take "O" level maths, I also heard that there is an private school called City College which seen to have good results : http://www.citycollege.edu.sg , or you can always take part-time "O" level lesson in ITE while working for experience.
Otherwise there is an maths enrichment centre where they coach maths in all levels : http://www.mso.com.sg and "O" level Intensive Crash Course from Neuromath Pte Ltd : http://www.neuromathacademy.com . You can also learn maths online : http://www.mathtutordvd.com
For your info, these are also 2 days 'O' level A/E Maths Workshop for quick revision : http://ebs.edu.sg
As for your taking in art path, I suggested you contact public organization for example, DesignSingapore Council and they will be able to advise on how you can realize your dream, which schools you can attend and even scholarships for your finanical help :

Nope, I've never met him nor chat with him in private.
He went on a tirade because he was posting irrelevant nonsense in other threads and I told him off.
That guy is obviously crazy.

? he goes off on a tirade because of you... and you're always telling people off anyway, right or wrong.....
to TS. if you really want an art based career, you might want to consider leaving our shores. the enviroment here isn't too good. and the teachers are that suitable.
where art is concern, sadly you might even learn more from our neighbours.
same thing happened to this guy. went to a talk by him recently, and he happened to share the same opinion of the education here where art is concerned.

Nothing is over until it's truly over.
You are still young... O level student.... adult life havn't even start.. don't give up so easily.
Look at it this way.... you will be working 20-30 years after you come out from school.. so you might as well do something you love to do, because you will be doing it for a very LONG time.
Talent is very important... and being artsy means you need creative juice. I think you lack creative juice because you are not exposed to the outside world much.
Many great artists.. they get inspiration from their life.. from their surrounding world...you are young.. lack of life experience... and I'm sure you havn't travel outside little dot much...
The reason why in Singapore it's not so easy to be creative ..is because our environment is not conducive to creativity.
Go out there and live more.. learn more.. see more...

So, what do you propose ? I diam diam , keep quiet... don't say anything... let this foreign idiots do what they will , let them piss on our home ground? Like how majority of Singaporeans will do when they see foreign trash bully Singaporean ? Sorry... I no coward.. I stand up and say something.
Speakoutfor is a Malaysian living IN Malaysia. He knows nothing about SG.. yet he continues to post rubbish here.
You want to side with him.. that's fine.. it's your right to do so.
Moderators want to keep people like him... that's also their choice... soon all the rational posters will find this place a drag to visit. All that will be left of this place are people just like the foreign trash. SGforum can change their name to TrashyForum.
Moderators here failed.

...... if the moderators have succeeded in your version of the world.
all three of us would have been banned already. which is why I say your methods cannot work on a general crowd.

You're right... I have only been to Malaysia in all my life, and I don't travel much within Singapore as well .___. (Half-self-proclaimed shut-in)

anyway, he's creating traffic with what he's posting here , I suppose people find it attractive in a perverted way when you two link up.
besides beyond his senseless directionless crap........ everything else is directed at you. you two have a batman/joker relationship.
I've live in singapore all my life, and sometimes I look at the uncle/auntie in front of me and I think I know nuts about this place. if he feels like commenting let him. if he's stupid he'll embarass himself. if he's smart he'll realise. if he's actually correct.....lol then maybe we'll learn something?
and there's a very bold line between not being a coward/courage and just plain unbridled anger.
aren't you a mother?
back to TS, really , if you really really are considering a trade in art. Leave singapore. as fast as possible.
go some place where people are serious about art and learn there. make it then come back. the govt here would not appreciate you here as an artist. nor can most of the teachers here teach art.

lol who's siding with him?
your thoughts are like :"the enemy of my enemy is my friend"
it's a public forum, I'm defending his right to air his views. beyond then I don't even know anything about him.
if he's really doing anything wrond the mod would do something
but so far it's just between us 3 crazies

the blog I mentioned, lol coincidently is a malaysian, he studied here since his childhood days and realised..... they taught art here like they teach math.... there's only one correct route. they don't encourage you to explore.so he decided to pack his bags and flew to US . became an animator for blizzard later on.
I failed art myself when I was a kid, because I simply cannot follow. Have to be the one that draws differently......
Originally posted by Luleil:
This is sadly true. I've thought of studying abroad before, my parents said when I'm 18 they'll let me go... 2 more years...
I don't think he's even 20, probably 17-18 when he left.
but I find that our kids aren't even independent compared to malaysians.... years back, I was chatting with one colleague when I realised she's only 19, and she's been here for more then a year.
and it's a common thing for them to come out and work in singapore in late teens while ours find it unthinkable to leave before we have a stable foundation.

art here can only move in the direction the authorities want. so a situation like that hampers the development of art.
but for some screwed up reason they feel that everything in life must have a definition. including art when it's about projecting your own vision onto the subject, how then can one person's vision lead?? you can inspire but not force your views on others.

I was never against anyone airing their views online... but stalking me online and attacking me with baseless accusation is downright creepy.
I've dealt with plenty of crazies here.. at least they don't stalk.
Anyway... there's only one way to deal with crazies... I'll just ignore him.

I don't know if anyone's stalking you
lol but don't talk like you're not a crazy yourself.
Originally posted by Luleil:

in a way yes, it's more about the ones on top deciding what the rest are.
and the definition of art is well defined as well.
but not really say all aspects. certain segments of the society agree with this and it's not stuffy to them at all. it's only stuffy if you don't agree
if you like fried chicken it's ok if someone thinks we should eat fried chicken everyday.

well you can see his postings... he attacks me in other threads ... he doesn't contribute to the thread, just single me out and mindlessly attack. That's online stalking.
So are you saying he is not crazy ? Why , is it because he is from your country ?
Lets face it, when he as a Malaysian behaves badly in a SG forum... it makes you ( another malaysian ) look bad too.
But when you attack me a Singaporean... in defense of him.. you are doing yourself a bigger disfavor.
There are people you should stand up for..and some you need to let rot.
Do what is right for the right reason. You are a grown adult.. you should know better.

like I said, you have a batman effect, and you've created your very own joker.
can't say I blame him. you don't see him attacking other people. and his description isn't exactly wrong about you.
oi, can't read ah? how come your reading always so selective. I've referred to everyone who participate as crazy already. and that's like only 5-6 posts above this.

fark you again lah, can't read? selective reading? dumb?
I already told you I'm a singaporean
and your stupid behavour and thinking is what created him in the first place which is why he keeps coming after you. you like to go around biting people without thinking and then blame others like you're not part of it. and as long as you keep on championing this kind of stupid immature behavour you will keep having crazy people attacking you. Understand?
you should grow up.
anyway, I'm not responding to you in this thread anymore unless it's related to the topic.
anything you wanna add , take it to the other dumb thread
