Sounds so much better than driver eh? First day, wow, shocked at how easy going life there seems to be. It's only the first day, but I can tell I'm gonna have fun here. Using phones openly, tea break in the morning and another in the afternoon, 1 hour lunch time... How grateful I am to be here.

All I wish for now is to be posted to somewhere where I don't have to stay in. Slim chance, but we'll see how it goes.

Feels great to be able to book out everyday. Heh, not as good as BC or Faizal's vocation, but still, not complaining. I'll take my 1 year 8 months left and use it to get to know Singapore's roads. If posted to Tekong, I'll just kill myself. Nah...

Got a scare when the doctor said it might be a fracture. Turns out it's a ligament injury. Meniscus.

At a loss, I can't go command school because of my failed ippt, but my injuries are not severe enough to down pes. So I'm stuck somewhere in the middle. I have less than two weeks to try and get into the media team. Hopefully they'll reply me fast.

Just bought SWTOR, and spent the past few days partitioning my mac, downloading Windows 7, burning it to a disk, installing it. But that installation just won't work! Argh! So many people are having this problem, but from all the forums I go to, no one seems to have a workable solution. This is so frustratinggggg

Itch. Bites. Swollen toes. I notice all these only after field camp when you have no need for adrenaline to keep you going.

Pretty relaxing field camp as compared to other companies. Most enjoyable parts are the tactical formations and movements from point to point. Stuff that really makes you a soldier. I think I did pretty well for my Situational test, hoping to get into Sispec.

Sighted two wild boars. Looked like bloated pigs scurrying around. Magi mee in the field. Shivering in my jacket at night. Proning for the longest two hours in my life. Tanking all the shit from instructors because, well, first bed always gets all the shit. Getting commended from my SME. Heavy rain and lightning during declaration. Rifle getting stunned while digging shellscrape (FUCK). Proning in the mud. And realising I'm quite mentally prepared for all the shit happening around.

I love my home a lot more now. And I wanna watch Ghost protocol today. Jessie pick up your phone!

2011-11-27T18:27:00.002+08:00

Even my bubble shield of calm happiness has cracks sometimes.

Second book in very soon. I have to find some way to live for and only myself. This dumb sucker trait is just too ingrained in my dna.

2011-11-26T09:40:00.002+08:00

My first book out of army deserves at least a small blog post no?

16 days have gone by, and I'm sure the next 6 weeks will fly by too. I just hope and pray my knees and ankle will get stronger and not weaker with all the training. Being on status really SUCKS big time. Using crutches SUCKS even more. But thank goodness it's getting better, I hope I can start running again next week. Or at least slow jogging.

So I've learnt how to use my Sar 21, something I've been looking forward to a long time now. And next week is grenade throwing, can't wait for that!

Woke up to a bright new Saturday morning and I hope being in camp won't be too hard now that I have no idealistic illusions about the people I'm doing this for.

Happy thoughts

2011-07-27T09:13:00.002+08:00

A dream in which I visited my secondary school on purpose to relive some memories. And in a sense, manufacture those memories. Now that I think of it, many of the people I remember being there, I met only during poly. She definitely didn't study science with me. And she most certainly never knew me before poly. What are they doing in my dream?

Oh well, nice to be able to storm into class and make a ruckus, knowing nothing really bad will happen. And just as I wake up from my dream, the alternate reality slowly becomes imagination, and then realisation that those imaginations, in dream state, are slurred and I therefore have more time to process the tiny details that make the imaginations more real.

Didn't know it was possible to fall in love with clothes... till today. Those two stores at Somerset are the next place I'm going to once I get my next paycheck. Killer cardi (159) plus supaeh shirt (119). I hope they don't disappear soon...

Well, hurray to new pants! Nicest fitting pants ever bought! Also bought a comic book volume for a steal of 5 bucks at the somerset flea :D

Didn't have time to drool over the art because for the first time in a long long while, all I could think about was trying on new stuffs. So unlike me, I know.

So Miss Cynthia wants me to do some work for MTV Africa. Let's see if Miss Cynthia is really who she is. I'm still waiting for the email saying that she got into an accident and needs some money. Or something like that.

Poke my head out the window and hear a cacophony of sounds- washing pans, cutlery clutter, and the ting ting ting of a spoon hitting the sides of a coffee cup. Life..

Balancing act, 3 in one. Little voice, universal and handburger. Can money come any faster.

First paycheck. Nandos, wacom pen.
Second. Natural project t. LA NOIRE.
Third. Ikea bed.

Let's see it happen!

PULAU UBINNNNNNN

2011-05-14T01:08:00.002+08:00

SOOOOOO....

dead.

Pulau Ubin is so dead, compared to about 10 years ago. Signs of human life are slowly being consumed by the jungle. Celestial resort is just about the only resort left. There are telltale signs of the shine it used to have, now slowly being eroded away by the lack of civilisation, tourists, people. A broken pool table, broken arcade machines, murky lagoon waters. But it's not all that bad actually. The rooms are decent. And that's like the only thing that matters to me for a one night stay. Fish spa is so funny. It's a feeling that's so hard to describe word for word. The little fishies just cling onto any part of your exposed body and om nom nom.

Biking in Ubin is an experience not to miss. Steep, coarse, unridable slopes. Mosquitoes desperately trying to get a free meal and ride. That sort of thing. Plus points are the very few but interesting kampong sheds situated around the island. I'd like to see the insides of them. Really kampong lifestyle man, restaurants close at 6-7pm. No lights, gotta be back at the resort before nightfall.

I won't be going back anytime soon, it's a little sad to see it in the state it is in now. Hurray for nature lovers though. I hope the gov turns it into a tourist spot again one day.

I would prefer if i had made her skin more patchy and real. But pretty satisfied nonetheless. I think I like her forehead the most.

After hearing the cheers around my neighborhood for Houngang's Worker's Party, mom just had to say "this people will have to live with their decision" and ruin the mood.

2011-04-29T00:17:00.002+08:00

Supposed to be a speed paint but failed terribly. Spent hours on the rocks and I'm still not satisfied with it. Added some structures and it becomes halo concept art. Hur.

2011-04-29T00:16:00.001+08:00

FUUUUU I wanna go!

Curse this joblessnessnesssness. Bloody hell why do people think i'm rich.

2011-04-24T00:35:00.002+08:00

Now WHAT THE FUCK? SERIOUSLY?

I REALLY don't condone speculating too much- it clouds your judgement, you lose sight of what's real. But now, after hearing another shit news about that, there really isn't a need to speculate. Thanks for the help.

Now you guys enjoy yourselves while I selfishly fuck myself over.

Sharing is caring? Yea right.

2011-04-23T02:23:00.003+08:00

1:23 rings quite a few bells. Even in a design school, everything back then was about the Youth olympics. And I wonder... Surely our school understands what creativity means, so who enforced that all topics had to be about the YOG?

Answer is pretty obvious isn't it.

2011-04-20T12:45:00.005+08:00

The way back is a pretty decent film, but what I like most about is the many beautiful shots they have. Using screencaps to study environment and atmosphere.

Productive afternoon ftw!

2011-04-17T09:40:00.002+08:00

So Nitro blows himself up along with 600+ people and the ragtag team of b grade super heroes trying to stop him. One of them, Speedball, survives, and the public blames him for the disaster. Blame him for causing the disaster. He goes to jail. The public calls for superheroes to register themselves with the government. More accountability.

Got me thinking, what if, Nitro survived, together with Speedball. Would Speedball and his fallen comrades be counted as a heroes for trying to stop Nitro? With a living Nitro as the bad guy, it would be easy for the public to paint him as public enemy number one.

Back to the original story where only Speedball survives. Was he really in the wrong? Or is the public just looking for a scapegoat.

May be just a comic story, but I'm pretty sure it's in line with our culture we have in the real world.

Dad gave me money out of the blue. The last time I received anything was how many years ago. Ha today's WC session was good. Like building blocks, a series of interchangeable patterns. hammer punches, use paks to stop multiple punches. Remember.

Heh reading through my old secondary blog. All my artwork. And the nice comments that I didn't deserve. Interesting to see how much I've changed.

2011-04-11T01:13:00.001+08:00

Three designs ready to go. Now it's time to see if I have the stamina to pull it off.

So inspired & motivated

2011-04-10T22:27:00.003+08:00

Commission complete!

So design show ends today. But first things first, the one person, the only person who truly made me go WOWWWWWW was Yu May. Her work is impressiveee... Alright I'm so inspired now I have to get started on that competition.

Vsc is awesome. I kinda wish I joined that course. Moi booth was MEH. I mean I'm glad our works even got shown, but a little table to showcase any other stuff would be much more personal and awesome.

2011-04-10T11:46:00.000+08:00

I think some wife beaters may have started out never even fathoming themselves to do such acts. Then they just get lost along the way. Interesting how you can never imagining anger at someone, but before you know it, you get angry all the time.

Who knew drawing random stuff on a forum could be so much fun! And even land me a decent part time job. =D

2011-03-25T04:14:00.004+08:00

4 am. I just had a dream. A nightmare. Singapore is hit with an earthquake. I'm at Tampines mall with my sis when it happens. Concrete blocks and ceilings are falling down everywhere. I lead my sis to a more open area where there's no ceiling right above our heads. We dodge the debris and we all fall to the basement. We easily climb our way out and now I'm standing in the middle of orchard road area. I thought Singapore is 'earthquake free'. It's so graphic. Just like apocalypse movies. Now all that's in my mind is finding Jessie.

(Note to self- Climbing out of carpark, ravaged city ahead, some green, broken roads, smoke,)

I call her and after the second ring she picks up. She sounds tired, but she says she's fine. I ask her where she is and she says she's not sure. Something's not right. She says she's squashed- trapped. Starbucks. Starbucks at bedok. After a while she stops talking. I cry out her name and fear the worst. I try to hail a cab- there're so many but everybody's hailing for cabs too. After so, so much frustration and anxiety, I trudge through a make shift road made of sand. A boat nearby is causing water to destroy the road. Bryan is there to shoo off the boat. I get on a bus and I tell the uncle to drive me to Bedok. I plead and plead with him. I'm crying. He says okay but there's something in his eyes- he seems to have an ulterior motive.

My eyes fly open. I'm in my room.

2011-03-24T09:53:00.003+08:00

Watching V and drawing can be so fun. Was supposed to be a speedpaint but I got too carried away... Should try and loosen up and be more 'sketchy'.

Other styles to try out- super smooth portrait, super sketchy, realistic.

The Pumpkin Slinger

2011-03-20T01:31:00.002+08:00

So I had a dream- a very very vivid one where I was playing neopets. There was a new 3d feature, and I came across this Pumpkin slinger taking a nap on a Huge tree hanging horizontally. So vivid was this Pumpkin slinger, that the moment I woke up I was struggling to search through my memory banks if I had seen something similar before. Can't say I have. So I plan draw him out. Did VERY little sketches of him just now. Damn, what a wasted day.

2011-03-19T01:48:00.001+08:00

I would love to play some DeadSpaceTwo right now but DAMN ITS 2AM

2011-03-15T20:21:00.001+08:00

2011-03-13T01:33:00.002+08:00

We are but tiny specks of dust.

When I first saw images and videos of the tsunami and earthquake in Japan, I was like, whoa. Interesting. Now that more and more videos of the destruction left by these disasters have popped up, there's no longer any fascination. If that earthquake had touched us, I doubt my hdb will still be standing. If the tsunami had reached us, I doubt my hdb will still be standing too. And if those things can 'never' happen to us because of our geological positioning, there's still that mega volcano that could erupt in Indonesia. And Indonesia has a lot of volcanoes. If this is how forest fires all the way there impact us, imagine volcanoes spewing toxic gases. We'll just choke to death in our little hdb flats.

All dreams and aspirations will die, just like that.

We are but tiny specks of dust. At least I'm reminded of that.

2011-03-12T10:44:00.003+08:00

I'm so glad I went for all these open houses. Their giving me the right motivation I need to push myself. One day I'm gonna be just like these guys. I want to be so good that I don't have to do factory work animation. Imagine big time clients asking me to draw for them from home. Wheww. Draw draw draw.

2011-03-08T22:54:00.000+08:00

Just TWO more to reach 5!

What a boring end to three awesome years. I guess we were all tired.

List of things to do.

1) Finish up that piano poster and start spamming!
2) Finish up that Halo Reach ink test art!
3) Learn either Chopin Etude op 10 no 12, op 25 no 11 or op 10 no 5!
4) Create a Bleach Fanart!
5) Work out every day!

2011-02-17T02:45:00.003+08:00

Worked 16 hours straight. No one's home. Productive day. Almost finished colouring. One week left. Have to do scene 1, 23, and 22 tomorrow. Oh and blue eyes glow thing. Start on editing. Whew.

Disappoint.

2011-02-15T09:42:00.001+08:00

Gurl I am disappoint.

2010-12-23T21:55:00.003+08:00

I can't believe it. One month left to animate. So many things I gotta cut... Gotta do it the smart way though.

5 seasons of Dexter blew right past me. What a ride. I want that funny looking toy.

2010-12-14T19:14:00.001+08:00

I can't stop thinking of Christmas day at Aunty Li Hua's house. All that food....... MMMMM...

Hop hop hop

2010-12-10T01:03:00.004+08:00

First it was the Clone wars series. Then walking dead. Now season One's already over, then Team Fortress. And that was my first game I bought on my mac. Such an awesome game.

Until I started watching Dexter. Then TF2 became boring. 5 seaons all waiting for me to watch. :)

FYP. Looking at the big picture, at this rate, I'll be extremely hard pressed to finish it in time.

2010-12-02T00:19:00.001+08:00

So useless..

I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my bones

2010-11-26T09:47:00.002+08:00

Waking up to the feel of christmastime never gets old. And its happening more these days. Bright blue sky, cold air, warm bed- it couldn't get any better.

Having about 50 Clone wars episodes to watch was awesome. And now that I've watched them all, I am truly impressed with Lucasfilm Singapore. Gives me hope y'know? If I enter the animation industry, I wanna be an animator. No modeling or rigging- maybe next time- but for now, I've got a thing for movements. Now for a little breakdown of what I think about the main characters after two and a half season.

Ahsoka- Not as annoying as I thought she'd be. You kinda grow to like her even though she's a kid. And to me, her character has more emotion than Anakin and Obiwan put together. Their faces somehow don't express the emotions like hers does. Maybe it's the eyes.

Obiwan- Dude why you so suck? You're my favourite Jedi- and a Master at that, but it's so often your ass gets kicked by bounty hunters, mercenaries and whatnots. Use the force man.

Anakin- Not sure what to say about him, can't seem to recall anything out of the ordinary for a Jedi. Brash, brazen, but what's new? Oh I do like the part where he force chokes that Genosian creature, cued in together with the Dark background music. A little interrogation doesn't hurt... Right?

Clones- Stop dying already!

Padme- Isn't it far-fetched that a senator would go out time and time again into the heat of battle? I wouldn't be happy if I were Anakin.

Chancellor Palpatine- Evil, scheming, nice to see his dark ways every now and then.

All in all, the clone wars stories aren't very compelling- but they ARE very interesting. Season 2 especially- different locations, story ideas, and insights into the different lives of the less well-known characters made it real fun to watch. (I like the story of the clone trooper who escaped the war) So glad they're making at least five seasons.

2010-10-29T19:22:00.002+08:00

And today is another 'Christmasy' day. It must be the weather or something. Felt like Christmas the moment I woke up. Glad to know I'm not the only one who notices today is different. Christmasy days make me wanna play KOTOR. I guess it's because it was during the school holidays a few years earlier that I played it. Many years later and it's still as playable. It's all about the story, not the lousy graphics or sad animations which make this game great. On par with Halo, I'd say.

2010-10-25T01:44:00.002+08:00

And so my holidays end here. Welcome to FYP.

Best part of that two week break? Getting to wake up late. Sleep, now something to cherish all the more.

2010-10-14T06:53:00.003+08:00

I can't believe what I just dreamt.

So in my dream, I just had a son. Time flies and he's now one and a half years old. I ask mum when she's gonna start giving him 'natural' milk.

....

Strangely enough, my son looks exactly like Wayne, my bro. About his height too. That's when it hit me, this freakin tall kid must be my son! So the next thing I do is ask if he has played Halo before. He says no of course, and I show him the way to the xbox, so see if my lineage as really been passed down.

2010-09-18T05:09:00.003+08:00

So it's 5 am and I just finished Reach on Legendary.

--SPOILER ALERT--

Thoughts going through my head:

-Need to play again on Heroic digest information. How does this fit into the timeline? That's my biggest question right now. If indeed there's no retcon and everything fits perfectly, then the value of the game goes way up for me. Why oh why did everyone have to die? First Jorge, sacrificing his life wastefully, then Kat, by a single headshot. Then Carter, because he got injured and decided to sacrifice himself. Then comes Emile. Killed by zealot class Elites. Finally when I thought "Hey, at least I survived", I get killed by a squad of Elites. No doubt an honorable death, but still, their deaths combined (5 Spartans in the span of just a few days) feels all too convenient. Only one who may have survived is Jun? I'm not sure.

Alright time to get some serious sleep.

2010-09-08T17:48:00.000+08:00

Recap of Bungie event: Sigh, Singapore's Xbox Management still needs a bit of work. I appreciate the invitation and all, but really, wasn't there any other place to host this event that wasn't as small as a 5 room flat? And you know, some real tv and xbox stations would have been great. Not gonna complain too much though, at least they did organise something eventful.

COUNTDOWN TO NEW CUSTOMISED XBOX SLIM AND HALO REACH LEGENDARY EDITION: SIX DAYS. Sep 14th can't come sooner!
And that day is so gonna over shadow my birthday. Totally forgot about it.

I love my work these two days- Been painting my own stuff because I'm kinda done with my share of work, just waiting for new assignments to come in.

I need to start on my FYP soon. Very soon.

I wish I meant more.

2010-08-25T00:54:00.002+08:00

G2000 makes me happy. Thanks for that awesome sale, best discounts I've ever seen. Oh not to forget new shoes and polo t from Uncle Francis. First time I've been to a shopping spree where I don't have to pay :) :) :)

On a side note, WHY CAN'T I COLLECT MY GOODIE BAG AND GAME ON THE LAUNCH DATE? I MEAN, I'M GETTING THE LEGENDARY EDITION AFTER ALL, SHOULDN'T I BE GIVEN HIGHER PRIORITY COMPARED TO PEOPLE GETTING THE STANDARD EDITIONS?

sheesh.

at least I managed to snag one.

My arm hair is getting plucked away with each swipe. randommm

2010-08-03T00:00:00.003+08:00

I'm starting to hate men. Vile disgusting men. A line must be drawn somewhere. Keep staring, assholes.

Oh how's my internship so far, you ask. It's been pretty good, easy going and quite a relaxing break from school. No, I don't get to slack at my workplace, but it's a much different lifestyle. Something I enjoy. At least I have a life now. Even though I have to wake up at a fixed time, I end at a fixed time too. Well, around there at least. I'm getting the hang of programming and codings. A very interesting skill I'd never imagine to pick up, but a skill nonetheless.

My childhood dream... Should I pursue it? Alan Moore, Neil Gaimen, Steve McNiven, Adam Kubert, DC, Marvel, etc. And of course Jessie for introducing me to DC. I wanna be a comic book artist I tell you! Gahhh I need a new wacom please.

2010-07-19T07:12:00.003+08:00

And off to get ready for my first day of work I go! Haven't woken up this early in a long time.

Last 'class' of my Poly life

2010-07-17T00:39:00.002+08:00

So apparently, that was our last class lesson thing. Which wasn't even memorable, because we haven't been TAUGHT anything the last month. But oh well. The Philippines group has touched down, and I hope to see pics of where they stay and stuff. Hope they stay safe.

Well well, I am glad there still is FYP to do, I would feel kinda empty ending school like this. I'm kinda excited about working in Mikoishi, though, this might disrupt my piano teaching. Sis says that Sinema sells Nasi Lemak. Yay, that means I don't have to walk down and up those hundred odd steps just to get lunch.

And I'm still pissed. Go make fun of me for all I care, I really don't mind, because that's what I do to others too. But don't insult my friends. Especially not my freakin INSTRUCTOR.

2010-07-15T00:58:00.001+08:00

Sigh, here I go speculating again.

2010-07-07T03:46:00.002+08:00

Just watched the Bourne trilogy. So awesome with earphones on. Paul Greengrass knows what he's doing. And Bourne is one badassmutha-

Once again I shall say. Cheese makes everything taste better. (Mozzarella with kimchi noodles!)

Learnt Ng Lung Ma today (5 Interchangeable stances)

2010-07-02T01:16:00.002+08:00

Gotta condition my body to respond differently. Two classes doesn't mean anything compared to 18 years of reflex. Goal: Practice everyday.

FINALLY. One goal accomplished. The class was small, and the lessons were easy to understand for beginners. Expected the sifu to be a tough and gruff guy, but no, he was fun and made things comfortable. I can totally imagine him beating up anyone with his fluidity and skill. Looks like I'll be going back every Tuesday to practice. Chain punch woo! Soon, imma have an awesome back which can hold a 50 cent coin*

*soon could mean a year or so

I've been caught in the Toy Story fever. I want that Buzz Lightyear toy. The one that comes with the spaceship packaging. The one with expanding wings. That lights up. That glows. That can talk to you. The one so interactive, he says "How dare you open a spaceman's helmet on an uncharted planet!", when you open his helmet. The one that makes WOOSHING sounds when you tilt him, as if he's flying. I want that toy. someonebuymeone? please? :))))

The one thing that scares me more than anything: The idea of eternity.

Let's take a peek into the life of Ryan the last few days.

School, 3 hrs sleep, School, 4 hours sleep, School, chiong to submission, END. And in these four days, the only proper meal I had was one doublecheeseburger meal from Macs.

And I still can't fuckin rest.

I loved the ending of Flashforward. Even though it was only good to watch when I had nothing else to do, it's still sad there's not gonna be a season 2. Loved the ending.

2010-06-05T02:04:00.002+08:00

This week was innnnterestinggg....

First, I got to watch EMPIRE STRIKES BACK......in the CINEMA!!!!!

Second, I get this dream of a sequence of some movie, that is so detailed that I can remember the actor, the CUTS, camera angles, panning and the freaking music used. I'm so gonna make an animation of that.

Third, I can't remember much, but i do know some interesting stuff has happened.

Note: Ask Li Hua lotsa questions during concept stage, not so during production!!!

2010-06-01T01:05:00.001+08:00

Those words brought me much joy :)

Stop torturing me!

First is Kenny watching Ipman 2 spoilers next to me, then now it's dad watching Ipman 2 at home! Gah the temptation is killing me.

2010-05-10T05:26:00.000+08:00

i like the rare sounds of these noisy birds at 5 in the morn

2010-05-02T02:18:00.004+08:00

24's getting really interesting, seeing how President Taylor changes sides and is forced to go against the Jack.

Robert Downey was BORN to do Ironman. Srsly, he's awesome. Cap America's shield ftw!

Resume buildup is going good, thanks to dad's clients :)

2010-04-25T20:42:00.001+08:00

Maybe if I was more selfish, I'd get the things I wanted.

Hmm..

2010-04-21T21:52:00.001+08:00

SIGH.....

Where's my call?

2010-04-16T00:30:00.002+08:00

Snagged this for 14.90!

2010-04-14T00:40:00.002+08:00

You can't see your future. Everytime you see it, it changes. Unless you believe in fate. Comprende?

-This coming from watching Flash Forward. FF has a cool concept, but it's like lost-so many character plots, the story progresses so slowly each episode, ends with a cliffhanger kinda thing. Not my kinda thing. Not to mention unrealism in some firefights. Nobody can survive an explosion of that magnitude (humvee, FBI car).

Doesn't mean it wasn't entertaining though, I still enjoyed it.

2010-04-12T17:27:00.003+08:00

Money matters. In this material world at least. It controls, EVERYTHING. everything. Education, clothes, appearances, friends, food, love. Come to think of it, no, not love. Relationships, rather.

I wish I was rich. Endrant/

Pick yourelf up, Ryan

2010-04-02T00:34:00.001+08:00

Ok.

2010-04-01T23:23:00.000+08:00

No more this, no more that.

And this term's results? FUCKIT.

Anybody who can appreciate the arts will love this. Two and a half years in the making, I can't wait for this 230 paged comic to be released. 230 pages, all done by one guy with much skillzzzz.

It may seem a bit far fetched, but I'm hoping this will be the next Starwars.

Overpriced

2010-03-30T00:08:00.002+08:00

In Bugis Junction, next to the Kinokuniya book shop is a comic shop. This comic shop, called Absolute Comics, sells many cool stuff. Cool stuff I would buy. Until I take a look at the price tag. Holy shmokes! A figurine I can get for 15 bucks priced at 40! The same comic which can be found in both Kino (which is right next to this comic shop) and Absolute comics can cost 7 bucks more from the latter!

I wish they'd be more reasonable with their pricing. Then maybe I'd buy something from them.

2010-03-28T00:51:00.002+08:00

So want! Look at the colour!

Had brunchner (breakie + lunch + dinner) today at Saizeriya, an Italian restaurant that claims to be the most famous in Japan. It was pretty empty, (they could use a makeover), but the food's GOOOOOD. And not too pricey. $2.50 for unlimited drinks. My favourite meal was the Doria with meat. Ooooh so gooood. And only for $4.30! nomnomnom

The mist

Finally, a 'B' grade horror flick which has quite decent animation. Surprisingly managed to keep me watching all the way, considering how I always give up halfway watching these kinda shows. Though, having "The Punisher" aka Thomas Jane (Woah just realised how fast 6 years have passed) and Darth Vader's secret apprentice aka Sam Witwer in the cast sure made things a lot more interesting. Also, Sam Witwer's eyebrows are interesting.

Never thought the ending would pan out the way I didn't want it to. What a waste.

2010-03-24T23:35:00.002+08:00

Thanks to Eddy and the rest who planned the chalet. I was quite an experience. Sometimes, like now, I wish there was such a thing as freedom of speech, freedom of negative consequences, and much understanding. But of course, no such thing. Everything you type will be scrutinised. So let's leave it at that.

What's up with 24's same old twist where the one you pity most ends up the ultimate bad guy. Example: a spy in CTU. Always. I mean, the first few seasons where the guy/gal you rooted for was actually a spy sure made for a good plot twist, but come on, every season? At least it seems like every season. Don't they do extensive background checks on all their personnel after all the spies they've had infiltrating their ranks? Jeez.

Doesn't mean I don't like 24 though, to me, it's still the most engaging/entertaining series I've watched.

Need to get finished on some drawings. And workouts. Let the self improvements commence!

The end of Year TWO

2010-03-21T02:25:00.004+08:00

And so marks the end of P2. I realised I haven't talked about it. I guess a summary is due.

My awesome team (which you couldn't ask for a better one):

Cheryl Ong
Kaz
KimLUK

I could actually sleep quite a bit during this project, which is surprising. Actually enjoyed doing what I was doing (thanks to the topic we chose;wide variety of scenes). To sum up P2 in a sentence long sentence, Computer lab almost everyday in darkness, wacom pen and hardisk, and lotsa communication through emails. Thanks to Cheryl's leadership and compiling of stuffs, I could for once 'do my job', knowing that someone else is making others do theirs.

What a 2 months it was, and now I've got this withdrawal symptom thing which will hopefully be cured in this Monday's chalet.

Clark Quey is so different from the last time I remembered it. Cart shops selling interesting stuff hard to find elsewhere, lights, touristy ambience and this bar called THE CLINIC, which, obviously is a clinic setting. What's cool is the design of the seats, the 'doctors' and 'nurses', and the ambience of it all. They even serve certain alcohol in IV drips.

And now, some stills from our Project.

Finally, someone who's officially on my Hate list/

Things I HATE

2010-02-27T14:29:00.004+08:00

ONE. Idiots pressing the button (be it for traffic lights or lifts) many times, thinking that would make the process faster.

TWO. Idiots (I don't see the younger generation doing this though) pressing both up AND down buttons for the lift. Imagine this: Someone above you is trying to get the lift. Lift is on the way up to said person. You press both up and down buttons. Lift stops for you. You get in. Lift carries on going up to said person. Door opens, you look like a fool for not getting out. Lift goes down, and THEN it stops again at your level, because you freakin pressed the down button before.

THREE. Inconsiderate Idiots who use the mouse in school for the whole day, then don't bother cleaning their filthy dried up sweat and grime, leaving it for someone else to clean. Case in point, me, having just spent 5 minutes cleaning this filthy mouse someone left behind.

FOUR. Idiots playing music at the highest volume on busses or trains. You're not being cool, Mr/Mrs immature.

FIVE. Idiots shoving their way into the train as people are alighting. See those yellow lines on the ground? Their there for a reason, ass.

SIX. Please burn your hell notes in a bin and not on top of drains or in the middle of walkways, thanks a lot.

A different look on Singapore's HDB living- those corridors which go round each person's house and super low windows. First time I soaked in the surroundings and what it's like to live there, in one many HDB flats around Singapore which are constructed that way.

The ballad of Gay Tony. What an awesome storyline, character design and plot. Makes me rather work in a Rockstar studio than Bungie. The amount of different things you get to create and explore- wow. Gotta say, GTA's character designs are really indepth. My fav characters? Gay Tony (first time I can safely say, SOME gays are cool), and of course, Louis.

On a sad note, I haven't gotten my email. My email which would include details about an interview. I want that interview. I need it. I want to go to Massachusetts.

2010-02-22T01:58:00.002+08:00

Hmm... Bartley... I love that word. Something about it just clicks in my head.

21 days of prayer- already the effects are taking place

That's what love is- Cheesy
