Yes, it does exist but the one in my illustration is just the prototype.

I saw some picture of the "Pivo" park by moving sideway... like a crab. Its wheels can flip 90 degrees or something. Probably some I need since I'm such a bad driver...

This is suppose to be one of the pictures for my computer class and since 90% of my class are drawing racing cars... so I picked something different to draw.

For sure, that's not looking like a racing car D

...Computer class? what's that about?

I'm doing a graphic design course at the moment and the class that I have is called computer graphics. One of the assignment that I had last year we have to draw a car using the illustrator program and that was the result. It looks ok, since this is the second time I'm doing that kind of stuff on the computer. I hope I can get better at it soon.

It seems like I have a never ending college life...

I thought I sounded old... didn't I ??
I'm very very old, I was born in the 1900s (well...perhaps not that old...)

I'm actually 34... (probably going to a retirement home soon...

I have finished high school ages ago... and did my geology degree while working at the Disney Studio in Sydney (which has closed up a few years back...)... then I go on to doing my masters on palaeobiology and was working as a tour guide at a museum for a while and now I'm going back to a college again to do graphic design...

Don't worry, my mother will start studying again, with almost 50!

But that sounds good a,d interesting! I'm feeling like needing the retirement though I'll only get to high school next year!

yeah! I hope I will be able to stay carefree for ever! When I am dead, I want to be incinerated and thrown into the sea, and I'll still be carfree! (...sorry, but I feel like uttering pointless stuff )

You really like to link any subject to death, didn't you? I can see it in most of your artworks and now on the topic of high school you are talking about your cremation and how you would like to be disbursed into the sea... Weird weird girl...

Like you, I utter quite a bit of nonsense myself. When I was tour guiding, I've always gone over time because my mind tend to wonder off quite frequently and talk about trash all the time to my school groups, and my manager complains about me talking too much... every single time...(pretty much like now...

I shall shut up now...

haha I'm not that fond of death! not at all to be honest, cause I know the feeling it leaves much too well! But to be thrown into the sea, that's just like keeping on living, as the wind or something!

I suppose a guide talking a bit more than only about what he's supposed to, that's more interesting?

I just like it when people say what comes into their mind!

Well I'm glad you said that, death really wasn't a great thing...

It might be funny for my tour groups when I talk too much but it wasn't funny for the other tours guides that I worked with... because when we have more than one tour happening and with limited spaces at my museum, as we walk around the museum I kept blocking off the other tour guides because of my long dwelling talks... so they also have to make things up as they go when I was in their tour circuit... (Well... it was quite funny actually...

A strange guy once told me that being able to bore people is an incredible feeling of power... That sounds nasty -_- (but I don't think you got them bored!) I wanted to know if that's true, so I started to explain to people where hiccough comes from... (some things about Tibetan meditation... I think no one listened)

dewlap In reply to evelyninthelake [2008-05-24 12:59:14 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure... because the school groups that I talk to seems to enjoying my talk... (I think / or I hope... Perhaps that they are happy that they've got their money worth (they paid for the tour...).

Being able to bore people is not cool, not cool at all... well at least I don't think so...So I guess that guy was boring people and at the same time forcing them to "STAY" and "LISTEN" maybe that's what he meant by power...but I think if you can capture their attentions then that's where the true power lies

I suppose to improve on your hiccup story, the way to do it, is you have to say it as if you truly believe it and make sure you don't stop/pause in between... (That's my tip for lying for today...
Also you probably have to get your timings right that your story is not too long or too short...

If worse come to worse and if still no one listens to what you said then all you have to do is to sms your story to every single one of your audiences' mobile phones. I'm quite sure your hiccup story would get through to at least one of them... (Or perhaps ignore what I just told you do...

I see you don't only give good advises for art!! Well, I told it like really believing it, but it was just too difficult to understand, and probably too long. But there's also the story of Pakh, the green Lion, whose mane was made of daisy blossoms. When he died, fields all around the world would cover themselves with little Pakh manes... That's where daisies come from (this story HAD succes) Okay okay, I stop now with my weird stories!
