che mad walks into the room.. his eyes wildly scanning all of the beautiful pieces of artworks in the room.. but he's not satisfied! all of them have to re-do! re-do for better marks! re-do! re-do! re-do! their hopeful faces frowned as they make their way out of that torture chamber.
walking aimlessly, i faced away from the crowd. how am i supposed to say to my mom? "i need more money ma.." is that the way? i already asked for too much. how can i possibly ask for more money at this time being?
i went near the stairs, making sure that nobody sees me cries. i dialed my mom's number.
"mama.. ktorg sume kne re-dooo..." i cried. for real. tears running down my cheeks. but, i still have to say it to her.
dengan teresak2nye i said to her "mein kne buat besar2 lagi.. dea cakap yg mein buat tu x cukup.. so kne print lagii.." i stopped and cry some more.. i try to hide my face from others. if they see me like this.. huh..
"takpe mein.. mein print je.. ikut cakap dea.." my mama calmly said to me.
"tapi.. duet dah banyak habis.. haritu print dah almost RM100++.. takkan nak bazir duet lagi.." it's true.. RM100++ for the whole big printed bag.
"nevermind.. just print what you have to print.. mama masukan duet dalam bank.. dea suruh re-do sebab dea nk artwork mein best2 la tu.." my mama convinced.
"mmm.. yela.. ish.. che mad ni suke buat org bazir duet.."
"kakja.. arini kakja kne amek mein sbb mein nk bawak artwork besar balik.."
"ok.. kakja amek mein.."
"mein.. tu artwork you kat bawah tu tanak bwk naek atas?" my mama asked puzzled.
"takpe.. biar situ.. nanti mein recycle.." i said and try to put at the back of my mind that particular artwork costed me my tears, heartbrake, 3 sleepless nights and RM200++ out of my ATM..
that artwork is the 'sculpture' you see up there.. "Shopaholic are buying Burden". i did it for my Design Fundamental sem 3..
some facts about it:
- we had to do random topic for our 3rd sem DF but, we had to incorporate shapes & colours in our artwork
- i chose 'Shopaholic' coz i thought that i'm having a shopping disorder, which i'm not actually. hehe.. took a Shopaholic test and turned out that i'm not.
- at first i did only 1 big bag with stuff hanging inside it. i used papers and printed illustrations that i designed. but, che mad said it wasn't enuf..
- so i added 4 small bags that each of it represents the burden that Shopaholics 'bought' and they were: break-ups, shoplift, embarrassed and yg lagi satu tu x ingt.. hehe.. i think the last one was to sum up the whole burden..
- Break-up: Shopaholic asked lots of money from his/her partner till their partners are fed up of them. so that's one of the consequences of being a shopaholic
- Shoplift: they want the stuff so much that they would steal it
- Embarrassed: one way to test if you're a shopaholic is to see wether you regret of what you've bought and try to hide the fact that you're having a shopping disorder from your friends & family
- finally, at the back of the big bag at there shows that shopaholic killed herself because she can't handle too much burden that's suffering her life. tragic, huh? that's what i'm trying to portray neway..
