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 Black Hole Revelation Wednesday, January 17, 2007

Ok so today was ComDi presentation for the individual project and it went quite well. There were some really good ones. Sy was very debate-ish at some parts, margaret accidentally said that the artist did household chores instead of household items and yk was as exciting as a mole at the back of an old man's neck. Some had great content but bad english. That over, after lunch, i left to go and meet luqman and his friend at dhoby ghaut to go for the Muse concert.



I arrived there like an hour early so i shopped around a bit; spotlight, barang barang, times - very boring i know. So luqman came at 5.30 with this guy named rick so after getting take-out from subway we walked to fort canning... i never knew it was so near to ps.

It was 6 when we got there and already the line was so freakin long la. Like super ultra long. So we go all the way to the back and spot yk with his friend and we joined him. Then later after we finished our sandwiches, i saw asanul with his friend. He's bigger now... and he smokes, which tarnishes much his image. So he asked if he could join us cause by that time there were a lot of ppl behind us so yeah. Then a while more, jocelyn, wanqi and stephanie came and joined her friend just in front of us so we were like one big group or sth. Well it took a long time to get to the entrance and like there was bag check and stuff and the guy confiscated my pen-knife. Haha. I mean its like i have it in my pencilbox everyday la so haiz...gotta buy a new one.

We wanted to get like t-shirts or something but thought that getting a good place in the mass of people was more important 1st, plus we could buy stuff later. So We gathered around one side, yk, his friends and asanul went dunno wher. So it was me luqman and rick as well as wanqi, joce and steph. It was damn squeezy la. My back so pain already stand so long, sumore in that cramped area cannot move also.


While waiting damn long for it to start

Ok So when Muse came onstage, started with Knights of Cydonia. Everyone went wild. A few times there was like this push ripple from somewhere in the middle(my cuz said it was the idiot ang mohs) and every one like almost fell down. At first luqman disappeared somewhere in front, then the 3 girls too. Luckily got rick la if not i down there all alone surrounded by heaps of morons and lunatics... and idiot smokers killing our lungs. The sound was just utterly deafening; so loud i couldnt even hear myself shout and i could feel it vibrating in my chest. I was so worried my hearing would be permanently impaired or that my phone screen will crack or something. And once, while other idiots were flinging mineral water, this guy decided to fling red bull and i got a faceful of it. I felt like shoving a guitar up his ass.

But otherwise it was totally awesome... jumping and headbanging(well more bobbing than banging) to the amazing music and singing(or rather screaming) along. Flashing lights, enthu atmosphere and giant confetti-filled balloons that we had to pop. Great songs, spectacular skills. Absolutely loved it, well worth the 85 bucks. Muse owns.

(short clip of starting of starlight. Kinda bad quality tho.)

Ok so after that, me, rick and the 3 girls met near the entrance to wait for luqman, wherever he was, and his phone was either switched off or dead. After a while the 3 girls left and the both of us waited sumore. I was so super shagged la. And my ears were like numb(they're still ringing now). Anyways we decided to go look for him and found him in front of the stage. Apparently, he lost his phone; when he was recording, someone bumped into him and he dropped it and i guess someone else took it la... or it got trampled into the ground. (Sy, i know you're smiling). So we walked back to ps and got drinks from 7-11 where one of the cashiers was like... a drag without female clothes. As in a guy with lotsa make-up and super-skinny eyebrows. Scary. Haha.


the both of them were totally drenched in sweat

White Gold Tuesday, January 16, 2007

A fat woman fell on me today. Seriously. See i was standing at the front corner of the standing area in 853 and i felt like shoving a durian up his ass cause he had this jerky style of driving. So anyway, it jerked real bad and the back of my hip hit the rail reall hard(still hurts a bit) and the fat woman beside me just squished me... sandwiched beween the seat back and probably 80 kilos of reinforced jello. And after she apologised, she started laughing like it was the most amusing thing ever. Thank god i was in a good mood or i'd probably have shouted 'bitch' when she pancaked me.

Ok so saturday mornin like real early my aunt woke me up cause my dad was asking about enrolling me in some religious class thing... cause i could choose between going for the Sat or Sun one(the choice couldnt be whether i want to or dont want to go). But i was so pissed cause it was like 7+ am and i had slept at like 4+ earlier on(i usually have just as little sleep normally but gimme a break, its the weekend). So i just grumbled sunday.

Yeah so sunday mornin woke up got ready and my dad sent us(my sis wasnt spared either) to the place. I thought that it was gonna be like nice and new like the Muslim Converts place but it was this dingy little building in yishun... The Arab Association. Well the class is in english, and there's no exams so i didnt like fight my dad too much... plus i had sold my soul for another night at jon's house the other time.

Ok, i just wrote an extremely critical paragraph about my 11 new classmates but i figured that if somehow i become friends with any of them and they read this blog, i'm a gonner. So yeah 12 people including me- 2 girls, 10 guys. The teacher is a pretty nice guy but i wouldnt have guessed he's young(27) cause of his rather saggy boobs. But otherwise he's really knowledgable and stuff so yeah. We got assesed on how well we read arabic and i got catagorised into the lowest class-1. Which is not that demoralising cause i knew it myself anyway. There were some who were damn good tho. Ouh and did i mention it was supposed to be ages 15-17? and i turn 18 this year which makes me feel like the delinquent who got held back or something. My dad could have found me a class for older noobs but no, he insisted. Luckily there's another 18-er, but then again, he knows his stuff pretty good.

Well my dad picked us up after class(its 4 bloody hours... 9-1) and we went to eat
at city plaza and it was like little phillipines or sth. Ouh then while eating i spotted this pigtail-wearing tranny in the salon opposite the restaurant. My sis didnt believe me at first so she like walked all the way to the front of the shop to take a look. Haha. Then later on at night my cousin came back from turkey with stuff like turkish delights, some super sweet pastry thing and corn chips that had like poppy seeds. Yay opium. Ouh and she got me that blue eye thing too.

Rocket Into Wakefulness Friday, January 12, 2007

OH. MY. GOD. There's a Nokia N93i and it looks soo good. Man it has me all fired up about mobile phones again. AAAHHHH! There's also this very aesthetically pleasing N76 but it only has a 2 mp camera and looks a bit like a RAZR. I have to work during the holidays... which is somewhere around march or april i think. I soo have to get either one of them. okok, so here's a comparison with the original N93. Its like guy and girl, one is more rugged-looking and robust and the other is elegant and refined.




as you can see its more chic, the camera face is a bit diff and the keypad is RAZR-ish(but i prefer the older one in this area)




supposedly the new screen can display much more colours. Its shorter, and looks fatter even tho the thickness is the same(as in the base part)




The most noticeable and the biggest improvement is this. So sexy. And it makes cam whoring a lot easier. Haha.

So please someone, if you got a job lobang for the holidays, please tell me.

Shapely Shapes Gone Soft Thursday, January 11, 2007

Well school has been a bitch. Well not really its just that comDi has a shitload of work and its keeping me up really night and depriving me of much wanted sleep. So i'm like doing 3 essays. 1st one is gonna be like 1200 words about Dali and Rene, the 2nd one is like 600 words about how surrealism has a place in modern design and the last one, my personal favourite, a narrative/descriptive about a boy in his dreamworld... which i'm supposed to be writing now but i'm obviously not.

Speaking of Dali, I'm damn happy that i found Un chien andalou on youtube. Its a short film Dali made in freakin 1929! And yet some damn power guy managed to get it and put it up. *applause*. Its super nonsansical and pretty demented but thats why i like Dali.

Haiz, then tomoro i've gotta edit my 2nd and 1st essay and the latter will take freakin long. Not to mention i have to make a powerpoint slideshow(i havent used it in ages so it'll turn out pretty crappy) for presentation on tuesday. Moreover i havent started on my calendar at all...while ppl like darren have already done 2 of the 6 months. Wah so nice sumore. Raah. Busy busy. And my eyes so sleepy.

The Unwielded Paradox Tuesday, January 09, 2007

Went to watch night at the museum on sunday at ps with sy and jon, free for me and sy(thanks a lot pepper). It was a rather good movie. Better than eragon at least. I love the t-rex, soo cute. Damn bitch la when we were going in we forgot to hide the drinks we bought at carrefour this guy came up to me and ask if he could look inside my plastic bag. Then he said its not allowed so he gave me a redemption ticket and took it away. So thirsty la the whole movie.

Anyways after that we met up with aaron, qiang and jeremy at carls jr. Too bad its not halal, the burgers look good... so i went up to bk to grab a burger then jem lend me his burger box so it looks like i'm eating from there one. Haha. Then after bc came we went outside then hung around in front of tcc there contemplating what to do. Then like aaron was 'fighting' with sy and with one hand, pulled down sy's shorts in a quick movement. Luckily sy was like bending over so his shirt covered his underwear. Haha. Damn man, should have caught it on video... but too spontaneous. Supposedly the waitress at tcc was staring at him after that. Heheh. Ok so we decided to go to chill at ben & jerry's but like only me and jem bought stuff la. Went home pretty early.

Then today went to jon's house to watch movie. Wen i arrived, sy, qiang and aaron were already there. We slacked till bc came, then jeremy and he got 'raped' again. Haha poor boy. Then later we went to play soccer for a while till the guard told us it was getting too noisy... but this guy was kinda nice la... he let us play for quite a while... not like that lastime one. So while the others ate dinner made by jon's mom, i went to novena square to get my own dinner.

When i got back we got hooper to search his own room fora hidden present, cause his b'day was the next day(we all shared to get him an i-pod nano. Walao lucky sia he... aaron's idea la). But he couldnt so we sorta locked him out, retrieved it then went outside to giv it to him. Of course the b'day boy wouldnt get away so easily so he got 'raped' too. Then we forced him to jump for joy for our generous gift and he just acted crazy.

Well after watching like the 1st part of Front(damn funny la kumar) we put dry ice into a bottle then went downstairs to the pool to see if it explodes. So we threw it in but nothing happened but when jon bent over and tried to retrieve it, aaron and sy pushed him in. Ahahah. Then after he got out he started sprayin the two with the bottle and as we were going back upstairs, somehow jon and i think aaron pushed sy into the pool as well. Haha.


the unfortunate wet

We got up and sy borrowed some of jon' clothes. And we were like looking at our sec 1 or 2 pics on aaron's com and a lot of us looked damn funny last time la. We were like remeniscing and stuff. Sad, it almost seems like all that is comin to an end. Aaron goin army, the jc people are racing for the a'levels. Haiz. I will surely miss these good times. And all we have left are photographs and memories. And videos. here they are. haha

Rebuilt Memories Friday, January 05, 2007

Ok so school has started and we're back in the rapid river. I'm having digital essentials(diEss) at 9 and communicating design ideas(comDi) at 12. Waking up at 6.45 is a bitch. diEss isnt to bad; so far i've been able to cope even tho its a computery module and i'm a tech-bimbo. The lecturer, yong kin, is nice too so yay. We have to do like a calendar, 6 months. BUt like each month's design will be used twice to make a whole 12 mth thing. I thought of doing horoscope but it'll be weird to repeat the design since well, it has 12 characters. So i might just do elements instead... cause like the bionicle version has 6 so yeah.

As for comDi... its ok besides the fact that we have to write 2000-2500 words worth of essays by next friday plus a collage on our fav design icons. That is seriously bitchy. And the lecturer, kim jin, is kinda annoyin... nothing he particularly does but its just his demeanor. Ouh and he loves raising his eyebrows obsessively. Okok so we went for an excursion to the art museum to pick out an exhibition and present it in groups today right. And there was this rather quiet and reserved guy who, the first time i heard speak, had this really weird kinda way of speaking like a mild indonesian and in a slow deliberate manner. So when he started presenting, he did this accurate yet slightly exaggerated imitation of kim jin's speech and flashed high-raised eyebrows. It was damn hilarious i tell you and everyone was cracking up. I wonder if kim jin got it. Hahah.

Ouh and after my group presented, kim jin opened the floor for comments and guess who had to say something? Yk. He said that the cap i was wearing was distracting and it covered my eyes and stuff. Funny that kim jin said it didnt bother him at all since i managed to be engaging enough with my speech(which is more than i can say for yk). And chun yeung was like 'i think its just you'. Haha. Ouh and kim jin said mine and sy's group was the best wohoo. Sy was really good tho, he gave like a very long and thorough explanation off the top of his head.

Well after that, sy and i were supposed to go to the ex-cemetary at potong pasir to take photos but jon called to say that he'd been caught for long hair(he's in jc see, but it was all alright except for the back) and he was going to cut it. So we followed him but the barber(the shop name is called Donald Duck Barber) he intended to go to was closed so he just chose another one and it turned out pretty blah. Then we went j8 for a movie but the showtime was too late so we just hung around, got ice-cream and slacked at the playground.

Of Things to Do with the Sun Wednesday, January 03, 2007

On new year's day we were supposed to watch a night at the museum. Before that i went to sy's house to do his hair cause he had a wedding dinner to do later that night. So i used, in his words, an 'ungodly amount' of hair wax.


for once his hair was higher than mine.

SO anyway because he took so much time gathering all his stuff, we were late and decided to go Minds instead... with jon, qiang, ivan and jeremy. We had loads of fun with taboo, then some stick grabbing thing, then as we were gonna start a vampire-thingie game sy left for his dinner, then we played this thing that i sucked at that involved farm animals and lastly got owned by jon at ugly doll. Actually it seems that he wins almost every single game. Tsk.

After that we ate at subway at PS and went to carrefour to, get this, play with toys. We were behaving like 7 year olds la. So deprived. Teddy bears, miniature cars, toy guns, sweets with those chattery novelty things on the top and styrofoamy-ish swords( i pulled a bangkai with one... haha). I think we spent like an hour there.



Then the next day we(day before's ppl + daniel) were supposed to meet up with aaron for dinner at Carl's Jr... but he was running late and guess wat? We went to to carrefour to play again. This time sy was bullied by this bespectacled 6 year old girl. Cause at 1st he was playing this tv game then we all asked her to turn of the tv... and she really did leh... in the middle of sy's game. Hahah. Then later while i was 'fighting jeremy and sy with the swords she come up and wanna fight me... so i entertain her la. Then when sy wanna team up with her against me, she say she wanna fight him, and totally whooped his ass la... Figuratively speaking. Ahahah.

Ok so while the rest ate their burgers and chilli cheese fries, i slowly slurped up the best milkshake i've ever tried. Wow. Damn thick and creamy. I was full just drinking that. We talked about sec school days, classmates and teachers and after aaron came, we stalked around for like an hour before headin home.
