Welp, i'm moving to Livejournal for good. I'm still keeping this place tho, for nostalgic purposes, to read my old posts and to post the more private ones. Cause face it, this place is dead. Hehe. How apt. So yeah, see you on the other side. And dont forget to re-link me...

The Big Two O O
Wednesday, February 07, 2007
Yes, this is my 200th blogpost(not including those on lj of course) whee!
Ok so sunday school(islamic classes) seems to be better than my 1st presumption. Its less conventional and more casual than i expected. And the people there are pretty alright. We usually have presentations, like opinions and points we have on a certain topic and stuff. Then for the quran reading class, the few of us who totally suck at it go to this elementary class to play with the kindergerteners and the lower primary kids. Honestly i am definitely past that stage... in reading i mean. I mean its like learning the alphabet but i can already read words and easy sentences... which is like level 2 where my 10 yr old sister is. Yes i know i suck but i've been put in the wrong class. But i'm not complaining cause a couple of my normal classmates are there.
The 100 chair designs for project 1 plus the 4 for showing was such a bitch. So far i've only done 84 and i wasted 7 hours on one of the final ones and realised i wouldnt have time to finish so i just lef it alone and did a whole different one. Then i wanted to consult with jeremy(since he's in pid) but we went to street 85 1st. It was a pretty cool place for a photoshoot. I expected more animals but everything was so dry and dead. So after a rather long consultation with him, turns out the class didnt choose my wood one(which i hinted stronly that i wanted to do that one) and chose this soft one which would be so much more difficult to make. Haiz. And whats more, peggy wants us to do this postbox designing competition thing which is such a major waste of time and robs me of sleep for nothing. Double haiz.
Haiz i'm in a dilemma. I dunno if i should stay here or move to livejournal. Cause i'm sick of looking at the blank blogskin and i'm very lazy to go and find a new one and put stuff in and whatnot cause html is so not my thing. And somehow i seem to get a lot more comments on lj. But then again this place has a sentimental value cause it has so many of my precious memories. And keeping two is kind of a pain in the butt too. Its like all my memories will be fragmented when in the future i wanna look back and see how i've grown. Aaah. Of course i could just burn al these 200 posts into cds so i can keep them for future sake. I need opinions. For now i'll hold out, but by the end of the month i've gotta decide.
Whats wrong with this post of a measure of significance? Not enough pictures of me. Hahah. so here.
i'll also be posting a different entry on lj. Quite scandal... haha no la, just kidding. its just um... well i dunno.

Tapestry
Saturday, February 03, 2007
The still night air is as cold as it is silent. Not a chirp nor rustle nor whisper. Its as if the darkness also meant death. But there in the corner, in a frame of silver moonlight, sits a solitary moth. I reach over and stroke its dusty crimson wings ever so slightly and it barely even notices; just quivering those feathery antennae. I look closely into it glittering black eyes and see not only the reflection of my face, but also the image of my soul.
I did another red eye photo, and this time i made sure that it wouldnt be mistaken for brown.
Ouh and i'm putting up a photoset on my lj.

Unlocking Death
Tuesday, January 30, 2007
Oh. My. God. I hate peggy. Ok i dont really hate her but i hate what she's making us do. See all the other vscP1 classes are doing like self promotion through name cards, posters... stuff to send to companies to make them wanna hire you. Even if that is boring, i dont mind one bit cause i can do it. But what this woman is making us do is simply preposterous for vsc. Might as well be pid. She wants us to make a fully functional chair solely out of wood(max 20% metal, for joints and stuff). So crazy la! I joined vsc to do 2D design, not 3D cause i bloody suck at it. Its gonna be so whorrible. Slogging day after day in school on sth i have no confidence i can pull off. Ok its supposed to like represent us then we market ourselves using the chair. Wow amazing. I HATE this. Y cant she be like nuisance nancy. Or killjoy kee jan. Argh. Pity me. The others in my class may find it exciting and stuff, but noo, not me.
Anyways, i think at least this block i'll be able to sleep more after that extremely energy sucking diEss( i finally managed to finish my calendar although i'm not too happy with it cause the print colours were diff from how it looked on my screen. Darn). Class is from 3-6 everyday. But i guess we'll be there longer hours working on that damned crap.
Ok Pan's Labrinth is such a good movie. I cant say its nice because its plenty sad. But it was totally not what i expected. It was so mature and the storyline was really well thought out. Real good. You'll be surprised cause it'll not be what you're expecting... i know it was for me. The faun was really well done, pretty cool.
And that saggy monster is very disgusting. I shouldnt say too much and be a spoiler, ouh and its in spanish.
Woo, im happy! I got the nike shoes i wanted. Aaahhh so cool. Burnt a massive hole in my pocket tho... but i've been saving for it for over 2 months. $177.45. With the movie and dinner and desert, i spent over 200 buck in one day. Wow. Its very atypical tho... my usual daily spending is like 5 or 6 bucks. My aunt isnt happy with it, price and design wise. Well i fully love it. Its that new range of nike's wth the deeply scored soles so can bend a lot one you know? Yeah here it is.
cute rite?

The Unintended Migration
Friday, January 26, 2007
WAT THE HELL!? Jadis has been restarting on her own recently. Its very pissy. And if i want to send it in to get fixed, how am i supposed to do my schoolwork? Argh dilemma! Ef la.
Ok, so something weird happened yesterday. A girl from morocco called me on skype yesterday(if you dunno wat that is, its like messenger except its free internet voice calls). I think the reason is cause her name is Sara Hanifi (see the resemblance?). Firstly she didnt know where singapore was. Forgiveable. SO i tell her its in asia. "Wat is that?" How could she not know the largest continent on earth? So i had to say "You know china? OK? sg is far down" She knew china. Anyways, it was the most torturous conversation i've had in a long time. Besides the many awkward silences, the occasional bad connection did not help her stunted english. Its as bad as my malay(and let me tell you i speak malay horrendously). Ok here's an instance where she just added me and showed her dp:
Sara: Wat-e do you theenk?
Me: you are pretty(she is indeed quite hot. this is her photo blog, some look weird but some are awesome. http://sara-belle01.skyblog.com/)
Sara: I dont understand wat-e you say
Me: Pretty? (i thought it was bad connection)
Sara: wat is-e prr... Nice? Beautiful?
Me: Yes yes.
(i then put up my dp)
Me: what about this?
Sara: Mmm, yes-e, you are olso nice, er, beautiful.
So I, the beautiful boy, had to be the one asking all the questions trying not to sound like a dao bitch. Apparently her hobby is listening to music(i always tell ppl mine is television... which is true) and she let me hear some- mostly turkish instrumental which was pretty chic but some were these cheesy 90s english instrumentals that totally spoiled it. On the upside, she did play some beyonce. Thank god for the music that filled many an awkward silence. It was really exhausting trying to listen and decipher her oddly formed sentences or wrong use of words. I mean i would have thoroughly enjoyed myself if she was englishy, learning about the lifestyle there and the education system and stuff. Sad. It lasted for over an hour, after which she was going to talk to her friends(god thank you for giving her friends). Cause i'm a very polite person to strangers and didnt want to be the one to hang up.
Worse, she called me again today. Asked me bout muslim stuff, whether i pray and fast and know how to say the um, i dunno the term in english, and stuff. And yet i was thoroughly surprised to see in one of her pics that she held a shaggy dog(in her photo blog) and if you dont know, we arent supposed to have dogs(we cant touch their nose or any part of them thats wet, i think. But we can keep guard dogs... if you live in some mansion or sth la.). But i didnt want to question her bout it cause religious practices are a touchy subject. And guess wat, on the second page of her pb, there is an image split into 4, thats her future husband. If it werent for the marriage at 18 law in morocco, i bet she'd be wearing a wedding dress(or whatever these people wear) right now... she's 16 and he's 23. Bet its matchmade. Sad. It was a short convo tg, cause her mom called her or something... and she said she'll talk to me later but i just put my status to offline. *sigh of relief*
Okok enough bitching. Today was the final presentation for comDi and our group totally rocked it although i felt i could have done better. But who cares, desmond said we were the best. Haha. Woo! Yea, The Liquid Salvation rules! (arches eyebrows, opens eyes big, raise hands in a questioning manner saying "you know?"). And I've finally saved enough to get those pair of nike's i've been eyeing, Yay! Haha. And another reason to celebrate, i collected my 2 gig memory card already so now my travelling will be more exciting with loads more songs. Whee. On the downside, i still have 2 calendar vectors to do by monday morning, each taking about 7 hours to do. But after that i wanna watch Pan's Labrinth... any takers?
My amazing group members. The most organized and smooth-running group project i've been in so far.

The Fallen Tree
Wednesday, January 24, 2007
When i saw this it looked to me like some trees had gathered at a dead tree's funeral. I had to take a photo.
I wish i lived in a terrace house or something so that the neighbors cant hear me when i sing loudly.
The rest is on LJ.
