Secrets In Stereo - Happy

2010-10-25T00:44:00.002+08:00

I wanna be next to you
And watch you while you sleep
Holding you, lost inside,
Every breath you breathe

I don't wanna live a day without you
I just wanna be the one that makes you happy, happy
I don't wanna live a day without you
I just wanna be the one that makes you happy, happy

One minute more, a thousand years
It's all the same to me
'Cause I'm incomplete
And I need you more
With every breath I breathe

I don't wanna live a day without you
I just wanna be the one that makes you happy, happy
I don't wanna live a day without you
I just wanna be the one that makes you happy, happy
Makes you happy

I try to let you know
My words get tangled up
And everytime I find that I'm outside looking in
I can't let this moment go
When you're the only one
That makes me feel the way I feel inside

Lately I've fallen for you
Lately I've fallen for you
Yeah

I don't wanna live a day without you
I just wanna be the one that makes you happy, happy
I don't wanna live a day without you
I just wanna be the one that makes you happy, happy

That makes you happy
(I just wanna make you happy)
Happy
(I just wanna make you happy)
I just wanna make you happy

Finally have the time to post an entry on last week's event. It was my friend's wedding. Help him out as his 兄弟. Woke up around 5am on that day, ate a light breakfast, changed up and left my house at around 5.30am. Took a cab over with bear. Reached my friend's house at around 6.15am. His cousin is driving so have to wait for him to set off to his bride's place. Set off at around 7am and reached his bride's place at around 7.30am.

The first thing once we reached there is the gatecrash. The first thing the 姐妹 wants the groom to do is to sign on a paper which was sticked onto the ceiling. Easily done after few of us lifted him up. The second task was to wear a 'specially designed' underwear outer our pants(like a superman). Wore it without much complain. After-which, the task was to drink some beverage off a baby bottle. They told us that there was special ingredient added into the beverage but end up it was just normal drinks. I drank the milo bottle. =D Finally, come to the last part of gatecrash, the giving of the angbao. The 姐妹 wanted $1314 in the beginning and after much bargaining, it was all settled at $388. Haha. After entering the room, it was the usual procedure of the groom lifting the veil.

After-which, we all wanted to go back to the groom's place for the tea ceremony. However, as we missed the first auspicious time, we have to wait for another which is at 11am. Hence, we proceeded for some photo shoot first at one of the park. The weather was really hot that day and all of us was sweating like mad. After the photoshoot, we all went on to the tea ceremony at the groom's place and back to the bride's place again after that.

After everything was done, it was around 2.30pm already. Checked-in to the Mandarin Orchard and rest there for awhile. Later on, Liangsen, bear and I went for a meal at taka. Had Crystal Jade La Mian, Xiao Long Bao. Went back to the hotel around 5pm. Helped out some stuff for the wedding dinner before the guest arrived.

Was running all around with the groom and bride during the dinner. Was told that we might have to help the groom 挡酒 but　ended up the groom drank all. Actually kind of feel bad, should be at least helped him drink some. The good thing is that he wasn't drunk after all the drinking. However, the bride got somehow drunk. The 姐妹　also didn't help her. LOL!

After everything was over, we went up to the room to rest for awhile. Kind of happy they celebrated my birthday after midnight. Left not long after and headed back home by cab. Slept until 12pm that afternoon.

Overall, its really a great experience as this is the first time I have been 兄弟 for someone's wedding. Although its tiring, I still finds it cool.

Short updates

2010-05-31T23:06:00.002+08:00

Met up with friends yesterday and went to Orchard to shop for some stuffs. Bought a dress shoe. Went to watch Prince Of Persia after that. I haven't played any of its game or read its story so I don't really know what is it all about. However, overall the movie is fabulous. I enjoyed every single part of it. I can't really think of anything that I don't like in the movie. Everything is close to perfection. I will personally give it 9/10 for the rating. Yea..Its prob

This video sure cracks me up

Entomophobia

2010-04-29T00:53:00.005+08:00

Guess what. 30mins ago, a cockroach flew into my room and landed itself on the wall. I only notice it when I heard the something flapping.

For a moment, I was like OMG! Okay, maybe not only a moment.

I stared at the cockroach without making any move to see what its going to do. It just stood there and does nth. I took the chance and ran out of my room. After few minutes, I decided to go back to the room and see where is it. The wall it was on is behind the door but it wasn't there. It only take awhile before I realize that it was on top of the door. I ran out of my room again.

Seriously, taking it down wasn't even one of the plan that came across my mind. I thought to myself this has to come to an end. I uses the best and only solution. I went to wake my mum up. Okay, she wasn't actually asleep yet so it wasn't that bad.

As usual, she will say '这么大害怕蟑螂' which means 'so old still afraid of cockroach'. She went to hit it with a cloth but it managed to fly down and crawl away in a swift motion. It went to my parent's room. I was like LOL! After which it was never found.

My mum is the best. All the time, she will help me get rid of insect that fly into my room. Although it is still somewhere in the house, its still a relief to me. At least I can sleep at ease tonight without the thought of a cockroach in my room.

Those who knows me well will know that I fear any thing that flies and crawl. The only thing I know is that I do not like things to crawl on me and fly around my ear. The feeling of something crawling on the skin is so 'SICK'. Thinking of that already gives me goosebumps. I hate flying because of the flapping sound when it come close to the ear. Another irritant.

What a night.

Its kind of sad when someone always try to put himself into the shoe of others, only to find out that the others is always comfortable in their own shoes.

Anyway, updates!!

Watched several movies for the pass few weeks.
1. Diary Of A Wimpy Kid- Plot is kind of predictable. Nothing fantastic. Just another watch if you have extra time and cash.

2. Clash Of The Titans - Although the CGI is kind of good, the plot is quite weak. Watched the 2D version instead of the 3D as I have seen alot of bad reviews about its 3D.

3. Date Night - Not a very fantastic plot but its still kind of good though. Love its humor.

Wanted to watch How To Train Your Dragon because one of my friend told me its quite good. However, another one told me its just another typical fantasy movie. Not really sure if I still want to watch it though.

Met up with the rest of the army pals for dinner at New York New York on Wednesday. Kind of cool to meet up to get to know how each another is doing. Its like 4 months never see them after we are split up doing different task. Aloysius never come for the dinner. Cao Keng again!! =X Anyway, thanks Amos for organizing this. Hope to have more meet up soon.

Saw my primary school friend in a morning and a friend whom I got to know from Boys Brigade in the same evening. Exchanged contact with them. How coincidence was that.

Went to help my sec school friend to reformat her laggy desktop. Took quite awhile to get everything done cause having problem finding the right driver to install. Nevertheless, it was all done up in the end.

Those are the recent updates that I could recall. I might have forgotten some. Memory is failing me. Anyway, I guess most of the time, I am doing the same old thing so that isn't really much to dwell on those. And its time to sleep..

Disappointment

2010-03-07T15:31:00.003+08:00

Very disappointed today. The same disappointment I had 2 years ago. I guess I could do better next time.

Chinese New Year was like the same every year. Relatives came to my house to 拜年 as always. Went to friend's house to 拜年 on 初四 and as usual gamble abit here and there. It was fun. It almost reminds me of the past on how often we will go to each another house and staying overnight. I guess nowadays all of us have grown up and hard to find time for this. Looking back, nothing beat those days.

That's probably the slackest days of the past month. After the holiday, I was back to the busy me. Actually busier than the usual days because the deadline for the stuff are getting closer. Normally I will be pretty stressed out if there are too much things on hand. However, I managed to finished some of the task relatively fast without any procrastination(which I usually do). Guess I am starting to learn how to procrastinate procrastination.

“The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval.” - Denis Waitley

Oh I just remembered. I also went to my secondary school form teacher's house to 拜年. Its good to see each another after so long and especially those I have not seen for a long time. Really have to thank the person who organize this every year.

Update & Plan

2010-01-20T23:53:00.002+08:00

First post of 2010.

Almost everyday is a busy day since the start of the year. I guess most of the time I can rest is probably during the weekend. Too many things piling up on me but I guess I still able to handle them.

Calculated the fee if I going Australia to future my study.
Course fee = 21k/year
Expenses = 1k/month = 12k/year
One of my friend advice me to go for 2 year course which mean I will need at approximately 70k. Seems a huge sum but then again its across 2 years. So I guess there are still ways to handle that. Meantime, I try to earn via freelancing and save more. Will try to apply for scholarship but I will have to see how it goes cause I do not want to get bond to a certain place which I might not like it.

The degree is one thing. Most importantly, I want to see how far can I go in life. Also will be officially starting a design company when I ORD. The detail will come in later part when everything is film up.

Alot of big things are going to happen once I ORD. Its a new stage in life. Aiming is a thing and achieving is another. I really hope in the end I can achieve what I want. I wouldn't say all but I really hope I can achieve most of the things I have planned out.

Caught Sherlock Holmes @ iluma with friends.

Its a great movie. Good storyline, nice plot, decent humor.

Definitely a must watch movie.

Ended up taking cab back after the movie because it ended around 12am. But its all worth it.

Strange Night

2009-12-28T21:37:00.003+08:00

Yesterday's night was one of the strange night ever.

I went to sleep at around 1am. Slightly later then the time I usually went to sleep. It was different this night. I couldn't really fall asleep. Not only I am not tired, I can feel that my mind was as fresh as anytime in the day. I couldn't really be bothered so much what is going on. I just try to force myself to sleep because I still have to go to work the next day. I still remember looking at my alarm clock at the time, it was 2+ am. I know I fell asleep soon after.

Then I was suddenly awaken for apparently no reason. Its like having nightmare and you suddenly awake sitting up. I wasn't having nightmare in the first place. And yet again, I was as fresh as I could ever be. Staring to the celling for the next hour before I fell asleep. Didn't check the time on my alarm clock though.

And just before I was coming awake in the morning, I was caught in false awakening dream.I guess my body is just too tired now to come awake hence giving me false signal. Only after few cycle of awaken then I realized that I am still dreaming. Only after trying tons of method to wake myself up, I managed to do so.

Whats the point of going into lucidity when you can't even make yourself wake up. What a night.

Was chatting with a stranger over the net till 3am

It has been a long time since I chatted with someone till this late. Moreover, a stranger.

Result:
Woke up about 11+ this morning and I realized that I am down with flu. I can feel the phlegm at my throat. *GROSS*

Also feeling abit warm now. I hope I don't fall sick soon. =(

Watched 风云2 on Thursday. The show is kind of draggy and lack of plot. The last fight scene lasted so long that I almost fell asleep. The CGI was good though. 6/10? Maybe.

Went shopping today at ION orchard. Bought a jacket and a long pant. Total up to about $170. Actually my main intention was to get a bag but I couldn't find 1 that I like. Will go to Bugis some other time to scout for the bag that I want.

Also, for the past few days, I was catching cold. Running nose is really annoying. Was feeling very bad as I was on my way back today. Feel better now after taking the medicine for cold.

Don't feel like writing too much. Guess thats all for this update. Will write more in the next post.

Wants

2009-12-02T18:55:00.003+08:00

Take time to write down what I am lacking and I need to buy. Okay, its not really what I am lacking but its more of what I need to get or replace.

After 30mins of deep thought, this was the list I came up with :

- Slipper
- Casual Shoe
- Tshirts
- Jean
- Bag
- Handphone
- Mp3 Player

then after another 15mins of deep thought, this is the budget I came up with :

- Slipper ($30)
- Casual Shoe ($100)
- Tshirts ($150)
- Jean ($100)
- Bag ($150)
- Handphone ($600)
- Mp3 Player ($300)

Actually I have thought of purchasing a set of formal wear and also upgrade specs for my PC. However, after further consideration, I guess I can push them back to a later date since I wouldn't be in real need for those yet. I think I will put also handphone and mp3 player as last priority as I don't really think it is really important.

Now after I have actually planned out what to buy, I will need to figure out where to get them. Possibly the usual place I gotten all my stuff previously. However, I think i will look for something different from what I already have. Really see no point in wearing something similar.

Happy Day (Ultra Long Post)

2009-11-23T23:58:00.006+08:00

Went for medical appointment today at NUH. It started to rain before I stepped out of my house. It was around 7.30am. Took a cab there. The cab fare ended up $26 bucks because the driver went by Upper Bukit Timah Road which unsurprisingly jam like hell. On top of that, it is in the peak hour hence the fare ended up so exp. -.-

Oh well, not that I didn't expect to spend that much on cab. The thing is I wasn't expecting to spend that much for just one trip there and not back. Anyway, lesson learned(although I have learned it a lot of times when I was in NP), never take a cab and go by Upper Bukit Timah Road during early morning.

My actual appointment was at 10am but I have to take blood test at 8am. When I reached there, it was already 8.30am. Luckily, it doesn't matter much as the blood reading was done within minutes. No idea why they wanted me to go for the blood test at 8am. I went to eat a bit of a breakfast. Actually, I just wanted to waste some time before the actual appointment. Went back to the clinic 15mins before my appointment. Before I knew it, it was my turn. Everything is fine and doctor advice me to continue to eat my folic acid tablet. As usual, the way the doctor and the personal assistant talk is really friendly. The doctor gave me MC for the day *Smile*. Next appointment date is 22 Nov 2010.

Went to the pharmacy shortly to collect my folic acid tablet. Saw this quite cute nurse there. Haha. =x
The follow-up was really unexpected but it happened. I was in a degree of shock also.
After registering, I got to wait for my number to get my medicine. I was thinking what if I got a chance to talk to her. There was like 6 counters there. She was at counter 2. When the number that was called gets closer, I was like could it be her? Okay, I am not a crazy despo or whatever. I was just playing a mind-game with myself as I got no one around me to entertain or to get me entertained.

Actually going by the number order, I should be allocated to another counter but the number after me got called first. Follow by me which is counter 2. Cool huh? I was like OMG. This can't be happening. Then I thought to myself as I was walking to that counter, she is just gonna ask me for my IC number, give me the medicine, tell me how to eat it and that's all. That's what happen for all of my visit to any pharmacy in either polyclinic or hospital.

Guess what? Yes, she did ask for my IC number and tell me what medicine I am getting. After which, we really gone into a really short conversation. Woo Hoo. I still remembered how it goes:

After she tell me its folic acid, she asked me : "Anemia?"
After stunned for 2sec, I replied : "Oh, haha no. Alpha thalassemia" *Smile*
She replied : "Oh! thalassemia"
I replied : "haha"
She asked : "What exactly is thalassemia?"
I replied : "Errrr.......(2sec) Low red blood count I think" (SCREWED UP ANSWER)
She replied : "Oh!! Not low Iron ah?"
I replied : "Errrr.......(1sec) Nope"
She replied : "Ah!"

After which she passed me the medicine and tell me to eat it on which day. The end! *Smile*

Took cab back after that.

It's really a happy day for me. It's really a short conversation but I was somehow very happy. I seriously have no idea why. I guess its the process of wanting to get something and you got it in the end. In this case, a conversation with the girl. It is priceless. WOOHOO!! What a day!!

Watched 2012 yesterday. The movie is simply great. Tons of action with flawless CG. Those who love action movie will surely love this movie.

A song from the movie 2012. I really like this song. Favorite.

Israel brought his guitar to camp yesterday. Amos who also knows how to play guitar taught me a bit of theory into guitar. Learn quite a lot of things from him. Apparently there are similarity between most instrument. They are all about chords. Understand chords and you can do a lot of things with it. Seriously, I didn't know that. I think its really time for me to pick up my theory. Consider myself enlighten. What a rewarding day.

Also, heard from the news that there will be meteor shower for the past 3 days. Actually wanted to stay awhile for the night to see if I have the chance to witness it but in the end I drop the idea because I have to wake up early the following day. I guess the chance for me to see it also isn't that high.

2009-11-11T22:08:00.006+08:00

I don't really know why but I quite like this song. I got to know this song when Israel was playing it from youtube. Speaking of him, that day he played this 簿公英的约定 on his guitar. Very nice and soothing to the ear. Really makes me want to get one and learn. Actually I thought of it before but never really go into action. Thinking back, I am one that requests motivation in order to really go ahead with learning something new. Oh ya and Aloysius seems quite interested in learn piano and guitar. Dunno what he really wants also. But most importantly, learn the basic lah. Don't jump so fast to learning the songs.

Also year-end is coming. Really looking forward to December. Especially Christmas and New Year. That's when most of the fun comes. Also, a new year also means a new beginning and also a good time to look back over the year on what needs to be improve.

Actually its time for me to sleep now. Just feel like updating abit. Okay I think that's really all I have to say + I am too tired.

Bedtime..

I hate adapation

I really hate adaptation. I was never made to do well in that. I don't know why but I just hate it when there is a need to change environment especially to one that I am not looking forward to. It just suck.

What needs to be said

2009-08-21T01:37:00.003+08:00

I know I have been acting strangely recently. I suppose you know what is going on. Not that I want to shun the topic but I really don't wish to speak about it now. I mean the time really isn't right; at least that's how I feel.

Gathering at secondary sch form teacher's house last Saturday. Its nice to see everyone again and it really reminds me about the time we had during secondary school. Think again, time really flies. Now all of us are going into different path and doing our own things. Looking forward to the next gathering.

Watched G.I Joe and UP. I quite like both movies and don't regret watching them. CG for G.I Joe is pretty well done. I also quite like the storyline.
As for UP, it is one touching movie with great flows in the story. I can't really find any flaws in it. Also I was watching it in 3D making it even nicer. I will highly recommend anyone who haven't watch UP to go watch it.

Last weekend went to friend's birthday party. Most of us are in the army and the only time to meet-up is during weekend and not all weekends we meet up. So yeah, this party is like another gathering. I also got my birthday gift from them. Thanks guys.

Quite a number of them going to ORD in a year time. I got like 14 months to go. Not that bad though because time flies during this period. Before I knew it, nearly a year has passed.

I watched two movies last few weeks. 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' and 'Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs'. Both of them are good. Definitely worth watching. I watched the Ice Age 3 in 3D which is really cool. The characters are cute especially the three baby dinos. ^^

I started playing this mmorpg weeks ago. Its called Dragonica. It's a 3D side-scrolling game. Anyway, I am playing on Kaye server and I am currently lv40 Harlequin. If any of you is playing this game, please leave a note. Haha.

Also I feel so bad about an incident that I think I should blog about. I supposed to meet my friend after work to have dinner. The thing is that after work I totally forgot about it and I went straight home.

I only realized it after I got home seeing that my mum didn't cook my share for dinner. That's because my mum usually cooks my share for dinner unless I tell her that I will be having dinner outside which I did but I forgot. I rushed down after that and ended up 1hr+ late.

As usual, she is always very understanding. That's why she is one of my best friend. =D

Although, I have apologized to her But I still feel very bad. Maybe this post will keep it as a reminder for me.

Thinking back, I am always late for every meeting. Be it official or unofficial. I think that is just one of my bad habit. Maybe it's time to fix it. However, I guess I overdo it this time round. Although unintentional but for once I really feel ashamed for my action.

I came across this piece on YouTube weeks ago. I immediately fell in love with it and started learning it. Hope you all will like it.

Eeeeeek!!

2009-05-31T00:04:00.010+08:00

Woke up around 10 today to finish some work. I think its also the rain that woke me up this morning. Have late lunch with my friend, shop around and went to her house after that to help her fix her com. MSN Messenger virus is everywhere. I have been receiving a decent amount of MSN Messenger virus messages from a number of people recently.

Note: If you receive a message from a friend and it is only an URL link, high chance it is the Messenger virus. Do not go to that link and tell your friend that his/her computer is infected with virus. Most of the time, the victim wouldn't know that his/her computer is infected until someone tell them.

She was browsing YouTube with her lappy as I was helping her fixing her computer when she came across something which she thought was interesting.

Apparently it's videos of people watching something called the 2girl1finger and they film down their reaction watching it. The video of them reacting to the video is simply hilarious with people 'almost puking' to jumping up and down and using their hand to cover their vision while peeping through their fingers.

How did you even came across those reaction video on YouTube ? *Puzzle*

Undeniable, what came across our mind for 2girl1finger is probably something close to pornography but what's so special about it that gave those people such a reaction. We got curious and went to the website to see the video. I wouldn't say much about the content of the video. What I can say is after watching few seconds of the video, we already in our gonna-puke state and we really couldn't watch further more. Its just like us replicating the reaction of those people on YouTube. Seriously, I can't really imagine how people watch the whole video without even puking. Nothing gore but just disturbing; very disturbing.

DOT DOT DOT

Oh well. At least it's not me alone who suffers the scarring of the moment. Personally, I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE ON EARTH TO WATCH THIS VIDEO. However, if you are really curious and for the fun of it, please find some daring friends to watch together. It is also fun to see each another reaction while watching the video.

I guess that's all for this post. Thinking of it already give me goosebumps.

I have set myself a goal. During these two years in army, I am always trying to improve on my design sense and to adapt to the current trend of design. As I have written on my previous post, I have set up my website where I will post my personal works. Those works are basically designs that I came out during my free time. Most of the design that I do lasted only few hours. The reason that I am doing this is because I am training myself to come out with a concept in the shortest period of time. Of course, a design can never be perfect; because given time, it can always be made better. Most of the time, I will do up a logo design follow by a web interface that fits the theme of the logo. This will usually take around 2 days to accomplish both tasks.
I aim to accomplish 300 pieces of work inclusive of logo and web design. The final goal will be putting all of them together into a montage and printed out. The deadline I set for myself will be Jan 2011.

Why Jan 2011?
I have calculated the amount of time needed to accomplish the task together with breaks in between. I will not be rushing this out so estimation of 1.5 years will be sufficient for me to accomplish this.

I wouldn’t be doing this as my only target. I will be starting to create an online portfolio when I have sufficient amount of work. Hence in my timeline, I will be starting work on my portfolio at around November this year. Actually I already have some concept on what kind of portfolio I am going for but the idea is still quite rough so I am going to keep it as a secret for now. On the Nov 2009 will mainly be the actual production of it. So from now till then, it will be the conceptualization phase and also gathering of resources needed. Estimation time for the completion will be around Feb 2010. By then, I will more or less have half of my goals for the montage done up. Hence, I can choose several of the higher quality work to be put up on my portfolio.

Isn't your current website your portfolio?
That isn't my portfolio site. It is just a website to post my personal works and for people to comment and critique. I wish to improve on the things I do in a daily basis. Of course if you have question about designing, you can feel free to ask me here or use the contact feature on my website.

What else am I going to do during this period?
I also will be picking up basic drawing skill during the process as it does pretty much come in handy when I am designing.

I will be posting updates of what I am currently doing on my website at http://glenn.pixelatedesign.com

In short, my portfolio will be up during Feb 2010 and the montage will be up Jan 2011. Be sure to visit my website to check on my updates.

Watched Angels and Demons yesterday. I would say its quite a good show. The story build up in the movie is actually quite well done. Overall I would give it 9/10.

12 May - Officially launched of my personal website at http://glenn.pixelatedesign.com

I will be posting works that I have done during my leisure time for people to comment and critique. Main goal for setting up that website is to complete 300 pieces of work so that I can do up a montage that could be printed. There are updates on the homepage stating how many pieces are already posted up. I believed this could be accomplished around Jan 2011. Receiving comments and critique is another reason so that I could improve on the things I do. Hence, please do visit my website, comment and critique.

This logo basically revolves around Vibrant Youth. The key concept in this design is basically a sprout which symbolize the new born indirectly referring to the youth. With bright color such as lime green brings out the vibrancy of the design which eventually portray the word 'Vibrant' in the context. The sprout is design in such a way that it represents both the V and the Y for Vibrant and Youth respectively.

Went for late breakfast at Tung Lok Restaurant today. The food there was better compared to Dragon Gate Restaurant. However, the desert for Dragon Gate is better though.

Kind of busy for the past few weeks. Currently, its a little bit better. More space for breathing. And I just found out that I have quite a lot of things that I want to get.

1. Bag
2. Causal slipper
3. Polo shirt
4. Long sleeve
5. Cologne

I think I am going for a shopping spree next week. Too lazy to go this few days. Too lazy to walk. Really have no idea what kind of bag to get but I need a decent one. At least will suit the outfit. I am thinking of messenger bag like Timbuk2 but I find it too common and a fading trend. I'll see how next week. Any recommendation of bag and casual slipper will be greatly appreciated.

I am very bad at perspective hence I took the time to play around with perspective drawing. I am not good at illustration and this is my first time doing it. I quite like the result though. I added the stick-man at the end of everything thinking that it will be cool in include some 2d within 3d art. A little bit of this and that. The yellow safety helmet brings live to the piece as it is the only striking color.

Everything is done using pen tool, dodge&burn tool to create the 3d shadow effect. A better suggestion on how to create 3d effect will really be appreciated. Filter was used to create the smoke effect.

I did this logo design during my free time in the office. I am quite happy with the result although there are still rooms for improvement. I also started a new account in DeviantArt few days ago. I should have done this long ago but I only started now. Its never too late to start something. Let me begin as a newbie and slowly climb the ladder to the pros.

Anyway, my DeviantArt URL is chronocube.deviantart.com.
Do visit and comment on the stuff that I do.

For people in blogskins.com, I am afraid I have to disappoint you for the fact that I wouldn't be active there for the following 2-3 months. I am trying to find myself to the next stage of design. I stopped advancing for quite a long time with my old and usual style of designing. I felt that it's time to move on and learn something different so that people wouldn't be bored over the works that I have done. It's true each designer has their own style and it is easy to spot. I am trying to make myself more versatile when it comes to designing through inspiration/creativity and not via referencing from other sources. There are alot of good designers in DeviantArt and I wish to learn from them. I hope one day I can be as good as them.

Went to IT show today but didn't get anything from there. We didn't have anything in mind so wasn't surprise we got out of the show empty-handed. As usual, there was a huge crowd. So we didn't really stay for long and went to have dinner later on.

As usual we ponder for quite awhile before deciding where to settle down and have our dinner. Finally the place we finally decided is an Australia steakhouse restaurant named "Outback Steakhouse"(if i remember correctly).

After some thought, I decided on my favorite fish-and-chip.
Why I love fish-and-chip so much? Because I think it is the only food which is hard to taste bad.

In the process of deciding what to eat, we notice this plate of fried items on the table beside us. It is quite a huge portion served. After scanning through the menu, we realize that it is called 'blooming onion'. We suppose it taste something like onion ring. Also under the recommendation of the waitress, we ordered it as our appetizer. When it is served, we finally understood how it was made and how was the taste.

Basically the way it is made is to cut a whole onion many times until the onion will blossom like a flower. Later, I believe flour is added onto the blossomed portion of the onion and it is fried. Giving it a magnificent look. However, the taste isn't really what we expected because we didn't realize that the whole thing is made up of onion. Hence, the taste of onion is really strong. We proceed eating our main course and it wasn't actually that bad.Not long after, the couple beside us left the table after footing the bill. To our surprise, they only finished like 1/3 of the 'blooming onion'.

We finished our main course not long after and was too full to even touch the 'blooming onion'. In the end, we just left after footing the bill and the 'blooming onion' was still 1/2 left. We somehow felt cheated because the waitress said that this is a popular dish. Maybe we just do not like pure onion items. Someone else might like it. However, thinking back, the main course is still quite good.

Took cab home after that. Too tired and full to do anything else. Gonna work the next day too.

This is a song sang by one of the Malaysian singer name Karen Kong. This is one of the best Malay song that I have came across recently. Maybe its just me but the song really melts into my heart. Found the lyrics online but no one translate it to English. I guess I can spend tomorrow figuring out the translation on my own.

Anyway, the song title KU TAK UPAYA means Incapable Me. That's all I know for now.

Went to settle some stuff and got to go back earlier. Sort of a half-day for me. Decided to pick up some songs to play from YouTube since I haven't been learning new songs for quite some time.

Earlier this week, I brought my computer for repairing because I wasn't able to boot it up when I try to use it. The guy said that the motherboard had burnt out so have to change the motherboard. I got back my computer 3 days later and I got to do some installation of software and alot of stuff. Its really a hassle doing those things. Till now, I still have some other software not yet installed. I think i will just leave that aside for now as CNY is around the corner and I wouldn't really need those software until weeks later. Before I got back my computer I was like so impatient to get it back because I just cant live without it. Now I got it back, I find it a hassle because I got to reinstall the software. People are weird. Oh, I mean 'I am weird'.

I guess my next post will be weeks later. Hence, I hereby take this chance to wish everyone a

HAPPY 牛 YEAR!!

December Movie Reviews

2008-12-23T23:03:00.009+08:00

I have been watching quite an amount of show this month and I wish to write my review for them.

1. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
- Review -
This movie is really as funny as anything you can laugh at. Simply hilarious. Especially the scenes with the grandma, its definitely gonna make you laugh out loud. Apart from the jokes and the funny stuff, the movie also was injected with a little heartwarming scenes. Hence, I find the movie quite balanced in a way. Although the movie is no longer showing, if you have not watch the movie, wait for the DVD to be released and buy/rent it and watch it. Its really worth it. Rating : 4.7/5

2. Bolt
- Review -
The characters in this movie is really cute and adorable. Especially the first scene where the girl went to buy the puppy, Bolt. Bolt is simply ADORABLE when it is playing with the toy carrot. Other than Bolt, there is Rhino, the hamster. It is also one lovely character in this movie. The storyline of this movie is also quite interesting for those who watch it without seeing the trailer. Even if you seen the trailer, I believe the storyline is still something that will amaze you. This movie is quite a touching one. Almost brought me to tears at some part of the movie. This is really a movie that is really worth the time and money to watch. If you haven't watch this movie, please do find some time to watch it. Rating : 5/5(Perfect! Worth It!)

3. Ip Man
- Review -
This is a Chinese martial art movie. The flow of the story was great because it isn't too draggy like some other fighting movie. The storyline was also good and unlike other fighting movie which only focus on fighting. Although its a martial art movie, there was some part of the movie where joke was injected in it. When you are watching martial art movie, you will be focusing on the fighting scene. The martial fighting scene is as exciting as it can possibly be. The actions was simply great and I can't really expect more from them. I just love the part where Ip Man asked to challenge 10 soldiers. The scene after that is just unexceptionably exciting. Rating : 5/5(Perfect! Worth It!)

4. Twilight
- Review -
At first before I get to know this movie, I saw the poster and I thought this will be another scary show. However, after recommendation from some friends and seeing its trailer, it wasn't that bad afterall, so I decided to give it a go and went to watch it. The starting was rather slow and not knowing what is going on. As the movie progress, the story gets clearer. It starts to arouse my interest around the mid of the movie. Never did I expect this to be a romance's movie. I quite likes the scene where the climate reaches the peak(the baseball match). I love how the family went to protect the girl. I wouldn't reveal much of the spoilers but this is a good movie to watch. The only bad thing about this move is that the pace is too slow. Rating : 4.4/5

That's all the movies that I watched this month. Actually wanted to watch "The Day The Earth Stood Still" but quite an amount of people says that the movie is too typical and the good thing is only the CG. So after hearing the comments, I never go watch it although I have anticipated the movie quite long ago before it is even release.

Disturbing day

2008-12-19T00:18:00.007+08:00

Today when I went to work, something disturbing happened. I was in a train and as usual it was quite crowded. Then this girl came in the train at Buona Vista. I was standing at the middle of the train holding the railing(I was facing the opening door) and she just came in standing in front of me and look at me while giving me this smile. I didn't really count how long she did that but it was like around 10seconds. For the first few seconds, it was heart-warming because I hardly get people to smile at me when I was on my way to work. However when it lasted more than 3sec, something must be wrong. I wanted to ask her if there is something wrong? But give it a thought, maybe she wanted to move back. So i try to make a space out of the crowd. I guess people behind me sure want to kill me because my bag was already squeezing them in the crowd. Now I am moving back even more, I am sure they already want to kill me.

After the space was created, the girl slowly walk back and keep giving me that stare and smile. Seriously, that was disturbing. Although the girl seems quite a nice girl, the glare and smile was just too annoying. She moved to the back and I faced back to the door again. That was really a scary incident. However, the end wasn't near. The nightmare was just halfway through. Now the scaries part comes. When the train went into the underpass and people starts to get lesser, I moved slightly to the side. By then, I already forgotten what had happened.

I remembered so clearly that it was at the Outram Park station when some passenger was getting out of the train, she moved to the railing which I was standing previously and give me that glare and smile again. SERIOUSLY, I NEARLY PUNCH HER!! The only way I could explain this is that the girl is having some kind of mental problem. If she could at least do that to other passenger, I might not be so concerned. Of course she didn't stare and smile at me for the whole journey. She did that almost like every minutes. Staring + smile and then looking down at the floor and stare + smile and look down on the floor until I got off the train at City Hall Station.

The smile and stare is TOTALLY DISTURBING. It really gave me goosebump after I alighted at City Hall Station. Luckily she didn't get off at that station. If not I surely will dash away with my MAXIMUM SPEED.

What a day to start with.

How's Life?

2008-12-14T02:45:00.004+08:00

I haven't been posting for about a month or so. That's because I am quite tied up for some reason or another. Festive season is around the corner and I guess I can take a break and blog abit on what have I being doing for the past month.

I wouldn't want to talk much about my army life because everything is as usual, doing design and lazzing around. I guess I will have less time to lazz around when the new year comes because there will be more stuff to be done.

Anyway, I have been sick for about two weeks already. Not to the extent of lying down on the bed but I am just not feeling that well. The first week was bad because the coughing is like continuous even after I drink the cough syrup for days. The second week was better but still abit of slight coughing. I guess is really due to the weather change which I am still unable to adapt. Nevertheless its still a good month to look forward to. Moreover, its the last month of the year.

Lets talk about something more recent which I could at least recall bit and pieces. My relative came to stay over at my house 3days ago. There were 2 second cousins of mine, a boy and a girl. The boy was like 3-4 years old and he is cute. He took my pooh bear and play. No kids can resist soft toy.

The girl wanted to play some games so she came and play some games on my computer. Here comes the interesting part. I thought to myself, 'What a girl at the age of 5 likes to play?' Having no actual solution, I decided to find some simple game for her to play. So I found this few games:

Space invader - Fail
bricks game - Fail
Smashing game - Fail

None of the games I found made her shows her interest. Hence I decided to ask her what she likes to play.

Without hesitation, she replied 'colouring game'.
I was like 'WHAT? Does that game even exist?'.
To my surprise, I managed to find some colouring game online. I was amazed.

At start, I seriously got no idea how can colouring would be fun. However, seeing her playing so happily, I thought to myself, "Why not?". Hence, I went to find more of the colouring games for her to play.

It was fun playing around with them. Afterall, kids aren't hard to make them happy.

As usual, chit chat with my cousin. Her university is left with 1 semester. SO GOOD! I still got few years to go to get my degree if I intend to get one. Sometime I wish I was studying in Malaysia. In that case, I don't have to spend 2 years in army. However, I guess both places got its pros and cons. She only stay for like 1 night so can't really talk much. However, we exchanged contacts so can keep in touch so no need to wait another few years to communicate.

For those who are curious, they came from Malaysia. They came here for december vacation. Additional info, I was born in Malaysia too but i'm a Singapore Citizen now.

I have learnt quite a few stuff this few days. The most obvious learning how to make kids happy.

Anyway, New Year is around the corner. My only resolution for the new year is to Enjoy Life to the Fullest. It doesn't mean I have not been enjoying life but I guess I have not done so to the fullest. I hope others will also do the same.

I guess that's all for this post. Will post more frequent when I got the free time.

Just like the old days

2008-11-11T22:32:00.005+08:00

I have been sleeping quite late recently(Thanks to someone). Yeah, you know who you are. =) Working the next day + sleeping late is bad. Real bad. Okay, if you are reading this, I am not complaining. Its just something I want to blog about. Anyway, I got fever today and while typing this post. I think that should have something to do with sleeping late and having to wake up early in the morning. :P

Okay, enough of making fun. I really got fever, but its from walking the drizzle the past two days. I thought it wasn't gonna do anything much but the fact is, it really have some kind of effect. Anyway, its not that serious after I took my medicine. I wasn't sure if I will be going to work 2morrow. Really depend on how the fever goes.

Thinking back, it is really like the old days. Where we can actually talk freely about anything and everything. Although you might think that it is ALMOST the same, but it is different["IN MY OPINION"] =).

*Me giggling at the quote*

Okay, I really should stop making fun of you, before you give me another bad surprise. Anyway, think again, I made this post specially for you when I am having fever. No one will have that kind of privilege to make me type another long post as this(at least one of the longest).

I bet you are so happy for that second. Okay, let me finished.

Actually I intend to blog about my work but since its army related work, I think there isn't really much to blog about and blogging about army stuff can be dangerous if you are not careful about the things you post. Then, I suddenly got this urge of blogging and at the same time I want to make it a more interesting as one of my friend says my blog is too dull with those simple post. Oh thinking of that, (food lover please refer to bottom of this post).

Ok I am lost after helping my friend promote this "food discovery"(bottom of post). I think I got to end this short and sweet.

Are you free on Christmas?

Movie Review

Painted Skin 《画皮》
Movie Plot
Terror strikes a town when people start turning up dead with their heart ripped out clean. Suspicion centres around a mysterious woman named Xiao Wei (Zhou Xun) who was taken in by army general Wong (Chen Kun). Soon, his wife Pei Rong (Vicki Zhao Wei) and his one-time close ally Pang Long (Donnie Yen) realise that she is indeed an evil jinn-like demon who has fallen in love with the general. Seeking to expose the demonic seductress, they realise that it can all only end in conquering love and hate through wisdom and sacrifice. (adapted from www.yahoo.com.sg)

My Review
I didn't really bring along great expectation before I watch this show. However, after watching this movie, it wasn't really that bad as I expect it to be. The storyline is rather interested and good for a chinese movie like this. Although the flow of the story is slow, the emotion and expression of the character and the scene is nicely protrayed. Some parts are really quite touching and brought me to tear. I would say that this is a movie that the start and end is easily predictable. If you can bear with slow pace movie and will enjoy love story, then this movie is good for you.
4stars /5stars

The House Bunny
Movie Plot
When Playboy bunny Shelley (Anna Faris) is tossed out of the mansion, she has nowhere to go until she falls in with the sorority girls from Zeta Alpha Zeta. The members of the sorority - possibly the seven most socially clueless women on the planet - are about to lose their house. They need a dose of what only the eternally bubbly Shelley can provide - but they will each learn on their own to stop pretending to be what others want them to be and start being themselves. (adapted from www.yahoo.com.sg)

My Review
A hilarious movie that really can help pass time. The storyline flows quite well for the movie. Acting by Anna Faris is simply great. I still remember her acting in Scary Movie and it really makes me Laugh Out Loud. In my opinion, it is a typical storyline. The protagonist was isolated and neglected at the beginning finds their way to make themselves more popular and outshine the antagonist at the end. Not a MUST watch movie but still a good movie to consider. 4stars /5stars

Firefly/ Lightning Bug

2008-09-17T15:16:00.004+08:00

Last night after finishing some stuff that I am doing, I decided to sleep. It is nearly 2am. After I did my washing up, I went to bed. As usual, I will start to stare at the celling and thoughts will flow through my mind before I really go to sleep. Yesterday night was a different night. Something caught my attention in the dark, something glowing. I thought my eyes was playing a trick on me or there are someone simply flashing stuff to my room. After a moment of realisation, it was really something glowing and it is moving. It was beautiful.

I decided to turn on the light and see what was it. To my surprise, it was an insect, an insect that glow. I was like 'WOW'. I thought it would be afraid of the light but it wasn't. It started to move down to the sidewall and then I lure it to move into my palm. It could have flew away but it didn't. I was simply fascinated.

Soon, I decided to turn of the light. Strangely, it did not glow. I started wondering if it was afraid of me or moving object. Not long after, it started to glow. I think it need sometime to adapt to the changes in the brightness of the surrounding before it glow. I tried close my hand to a fist shape but not hurting it at the same time. I could see the light penetrating the gaps of my finger. No words can express this moment. I place it in a bottle after that and make some holes on the top which is covered with scotch tape. It continues to glow. Soon, I fell asleep and woke up with a really good sleep. It was one of the wonderful night with such amazing 'company'.

Now I am typing this post, that lightning bug is staying so still at my bottle, alive of course. It is so hard to see a lightning bug around here. It managed to find me at my room. I am delighted. *BIG SMILE*

If you are wondering how it looks, it looks exactly like the illustration below but with abit different tone. The yellow abdomen is the part where it glows.

Babylon A.D. Review

2008-09-13T14:33:00.003+08:00

Synopsis(WARNING - MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILER)
The world has turned into shambles and chaos reigns supreme. Refugees are doing everything to escape the death and poverty of Europe and Asia. There is one man who isn't running - Toorop (Vin Diesel), a gun-for-hire with a simple rule: don't ask questions. His new assignment has him escorting a nun and a girl from a convent in Central Asia to New York City. When it becomes apparent that there is more to these women than meets the eye, Toorop has to start asking some questions. It will take all of his mercenary skills to get his "package" through militarised zones, fight clubs, gang wars, and packs of religious zealots. (Source from http://sg.movies.yahoo.com/)

My Review
The trailer was nice so I went ahead to watch this movie. Soon did I realise that was another mistake. From the start of the movie till the end of it, I could understand so little things about the storyline. All I know is that the girl that Toorop escorted have some kind of ability to read the future. In addition, this is like typical Rambo show. So many bullets exchange and only seeing the enermies dead and not Toorop. The most crappy part is the girl died after giving birth to the twins. Give birth = Dead? Ok interesting. I wouldn't recommend any of you to watch this show. 2.0 stars/5 stars.

Overall, it is a movie that is really worth to watch. You will never regret it. The storyline flows very well from the start till the end. There are some parts where I tears down because it is too touching. This movie is a combination of humor, love and also at the same time sending a message relating to the problem the earth is having(waste issue). Cute characters with great animation that goes with nicely flow storyline. What more can you ask. Go watch it now if you have not.
4.9 stars/5 stars (where did the 0.1 star goes? Nothing is perfect)

Secondhand Serenade - Like A Knife

2008-08-28T23:43:00.003+08:00

I dream a lot, I know you say
I've got to get away.
"The world is not yours for the taking"
Is all you ever say.
I know I'm not the best for you,
But promise that you'll stay.
'Cause if I watch you go,
You'll see me wasting, you'll see me wasted away

'Cause today, you walked out of my life
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.

Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain
And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same.
These streets are filled with memories
Both perfect and in pain
And all I wanna do is love you
But I'm the only one to blame.

'Cause today, you walked out of my life
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.

But what do I know, if you're leaving
All you did was stop the bleeding.
But these scars will stay forever,
These scars will stay forever
And these words have no meaning
If we cannot find the feeling
That we held on to together
Try your hardest to remember

Stay with me,
Or watch me bleed,
I need you just to breathe.

'Cause today, you walked out of my life
(Stay with me, or watch me bleed)
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
(I need you just to breathe.)
I'm not living this life.

Relink Skin

2008-08-16T15:32:00.003+08:00

New blogskin different from what I previously did. This time round its a relink skin.

It's done in Adobe Flash for the animation and Adobe PhotoShop for the design.

Incorporating Flash elements within a blogskin is really a challenging one for me. This is because for a relink skin to work, the user need to be able to change the URL to their new blog's URL. Hence, I cannot use URL link within Flash which most people wouldnt be able to change the URL. Hence, I did another method which is to put the Flash file behind an image. The image will be the one which initiate the linkage. However, I do not want any other image to be visible stacking on top of the SWF(Flash Shockwave File). Hence, I decided to make the image in front of the SWF a transparent image. Therefore, the user can see the animation done in flash and be able to click to visit the newly linked site. Although there might be other work around for my problem, this is the solution I used because that is what I can thought of. =D

Anyway, for a preview visit -

Lucid Dream

2008-08-07T15:55:00.003+08:00

Few days ago, my friend and I was talking about this topic on lucid dream. For so long, I have never talk to someone about lucid dreaming. I am rather happy to have someone who know about lucid dream and able to lucid dream. We have a good chat and share different knowledge about lucid dream. I wish to speaks about this topic in my post today because I find it interesting to share around with others.

Lucid dream is basically a dream in which the person is aware that he or she is dreaming while the dream is in progress.

When I was young, I stay at a old flat. For several nights, I will be dreaming for the same nightmare. The content of the dream isn't nightmare-like. However, it always leave me perspiring and breathless when I was awaken from the dream. When I moved from that flat to my current home, I stopped having nightmare and started to enter into lucidity at least once a week. I believe is the constant nightmare that I have since I was young allows me to build up my memory of dreams and piece them together.

Today, I am able to enter lucidity almost every dream and I never have nightmare since I live at my current flat.

Let me tell you the interesting things about lucid dreams.
Have you imagine yourself having supernatural power?
Have you always wish that you can fly across places and do special things?
Have you imagine yourself doing something which you do not dare to do in real life?
Lucid dream is able to allows you to do so.

If you never have lucid dream before, visit this site -
http://www.wikihow.com/Lucid-Dream

I have not tried the methods mentioned but I believe it is relevant to lucid dream because from personal experience, the most important things is to remember dreams.

Entering lucidity is easy but remain in lucidity is hard. You will understand what I mean if you have your first lucid dream. Once you enter into lucidity, you will get excited. Once you are overly excited, your body will react and you will be awake very soon later. It is rather hard to control for first-timer. Don't be demoralize if you only stay lucidity for a short amount of time. It actually means you have a good start since u enter lucidity.

For those who find it hard to enter lucidity, let me give you some personal advice.
Try remember this things when you goes to sleep:
1. You are going to dream
2. You are going to dream
3. You are going to dream
4. You are going to dream..

That is the first and most important thing that you must know to enter lucid dream. After you got that in mind every time u sleep, the second step is to make yourself believe that it is a dream. How to do that? Very importantly, Concentrate.

When you are able to concentrate, notice some flaws in dream.
You hear sound from people when their mouth is not even moving.
Notice subtle mistake in the environment if its somewhere you have always been in real life. For example, if you are in your house, look out for the height of your house, colour of the paintings on the wall, position of the furniture. Most of the time, it will be wrongly placed.

After you make yourself believe you are in a dream, do not get excited. JUST CALM DOWN and play around. However, getting calmed down completely for beginner is hard. Trust me, for a beginner, you will last for the most 1 minute in dream and you will be awake or brought to a new environment in dream which you will lost lucidity. The key here is to be focus and you will remain lucidity long enough.

Dreams are amazing stuff. To awake from lucidity, my method is to shout + jump and I will be awake. However, at times I will enter into false awakening. A false awakening is an event in which someone dreams that they have awoken from sleep. This is one section in my dreams that I have never overcome to lucidity state.

To change environment, I have tried some methods online, which says spin your body in the dream and the environment will change. It is true but at times you might lose focus and awake while spinning. Thats what happen to me sometimes. Try different methods in your dreams. It is your dream anyway, play around with it and have fun.

If you have some interesting methods in lucid dream, feel free to tag me and share. Have fun!

Past Week

2008-08-04T22:42:00.006+08:00

What have I been doing for the past week?

Eat, Shop, Chat, Eat, Movie, Eat, Walk, Shop

At times I will be slacking at home for the whole day or doing some design stuff.

Let me give some reviews on the 2 latest movies that I have watched:

1. The Mummy 3: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor
Basically The Mummy 3 is all about Computer Graphics, special effects and stuff. If you are looking for storyline, I think you will be disappointed. I am not saying the storyline is bad but it is not as good as it should be.
Overall, typical storyline with great CG.
My Rating - 3.2/5

2. Money No Enough 2
This is a LOL show. I really mean LOL(Laugh Out Loud) show. I laugh almost during 60% of the show. This is one movie that you all must never miss. The storyline flows very well depicting the real life of people in Singapore. Timing is great. Then again, this show isn't all about laughter, there are parts where nearly got me tears down.
Overall, it is one of the best movie I have ever watched. Let alone the sad scene, this movie can really make you can laugh until 'Pengz'.
My Rating - 4.9/5

I'm Sorry - BuckCherry

2008-07-30T23:00:00.005+08:00

Oh I had alot to say
Was thinking on my time away
I miss you and things weren't the same
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me wanna die.

I'm sorry i'm bad, i'm sorry i'm blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say i'm sorry.

This time I think i'm to blame
It's harder to get through the days
We get older and blame turns to shame
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me wanna die.

I'm sorry i'm bad, i'm sorry i'm blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say i'm sorry.

Every single day I think about how we came all this way
The sleepless nights and the tears you cried
It's never too late to make it right
Oh yeah Sorry!

I'm sorry i'm bad, i'm sorry i'm blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say i'm sorry.
I'm sorry baby.
I'm sorry baby.
I'm sorry.

Perception

2008-07-20T02:26:00.003+08:00

Nowaday, I have started to wonder if my understanding of sensory information is up to standard or am I setting myself too high a standard.

Have you ever wonder what you perceive for yourself might not really be what others thought of you?

Idiom speaks, 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. How different can two person depict of beauty in their eye?

For nearly 20years of living in this mother earth, I have never doubted my perception. I am not saying I have wrong perception of things in the past but recent event sparks me and brings me to question my understanding of my sensory information.

In my own perception of myself, I consider myself malnutrition and pale-looking boy. No doubt on that, many things the same way. Since that is the way, nothing much to question. However, it brings on to the next question if that really represent a picture of an unattractive and normal person. In my own opinion, I am one.

Okay, lets move on to slightly more detail, the face, rather than focusing on the whole figure. Ask me what I think about my look. Other than not a disfigured face, there is really nothing good to speak about. Let alone the pimple-prone skin that is bringing me trouble most of the time, I consider myself a relatively, unattractive look.

Before I continued, let me explain on the 'unique happening' that makes me really think hard on this topic.

I was in this bus on the way back home. It was not really that crowded but seats will almost occupied. As usual, I decided to stand on the middle of the elongated-bus(I know there was a name for this type of bus, cant bother to think much so i called it elongated). Opposite me was 2 girl seemingly in their 19s near 20s. Their constant exchange of looks and whispering to ear chat betrayed them. As soon as the bus started from the interchange, I knew they will talking about me. I did a quick check on my attire thinking that I might forgot to zip my pants or there is something on my shirt. Nothing was wrong. Hence, I decided to let them have their short gossip. Anyway, I have seen people doing that since I grew up. Maybe its my pale-look that brings them a short chatting topic. I adapted to that long ago when I was young. So I didn't really care much after that. The only thing that actually shocked me was that, just when I was alighting, one of them tapped my shoulder and told me this, "我的朋友很喜欢你的眼晴"(Translated: My friend likes your eye). Take a glance at the second girl, smiled she did.

My first thought : You must be Joking!

My second thought : Must be a prank!

My third thought : Get off the bus quickly!

Got off the bus, I did. If that was from someone I knew, I wouldn't really take it to hard. However, the other side was a total stranger. Seriously, I was troubled by this. Off all the time people are possibly secretly chatting about me in public, this is the first time I get a response, a direct one.

Shouldn't they be chatting why I look so pale or stuff like that? Or is it not everyone is so concern over my pale-look. Am I overlooking myself over my paleness/imperfection? Am I really thinking myself as bad as what other people actually thought?

Does that mean that I am bringing a misconception to most people afterall? Does that mean my understanding of people and their perception is partially wrong?

If thats so, I think I have actually living in misery for the pass 20years not truely understand what others think of me.

I would really like to know what others, as a stranger, perceive of me at first glance. I am curious but the answer are always the hardest to find.

Kiss - Because I'm a girl

Understand the story, feel the music and flow with the song

Maybe

2008-06-13T15:20:00.007+08:00

This is a life story of Z :
Since young, Z doesn't like to speaks to people and prefer to keep things to himself. In addition, he doesn't really bother on what others think of him at that time. His personality remain unchanged until mid of his primary school life when he met this girl whom he felt so different from others. Z was always good in his studies. Understanding that the girl's studies wasn't really catching up, he offered to teach her several subjects which he is good at. As time passes, both of them became very close and realise the chemistry between them. At times, the sitting arrangement have to be changed when new term comes. However, both of them are still happy with the presences of one another in the same class. When Z accend to the next level of his study, he is forced to switch school to another location due to some circumstances. Images is vague in his mind, but when he last met the girl, he broke the new to the girl. Since both of them will young, they aren't really affected by this incident. However, they felt the importance of each another in their life. Hence, they made a promise to meet back at the school 8 years later.

Time flies. His grades drop dramatically when he enters the new school. Meeting bad companies, doing illegal stuff and dangerous bike stunts was a regular routine in his life. Eventually he gotten a bad grades in his final result and entered a relatively bad high school. His family was disappointed. He himself felt the same. Therefore, he decided to stay away from the bad company ever since he enter the high school. He strive to achieve the best grades. Eventually he graduated with a good grades which qualify him to enter a course in a higher institute. He became better and more outspoken compared to primary and high school period.
He met another girl during his studies in the higher institute.

(To Keep things short and sweet)

Both of them eventually got together. All along, the guy will sit quietly and listen to what the girl have to say. Both of them like what they are doing. At times the girl will cook a meal for the guy, in return the guy will clear up the dish after the meal. Everything was really sweet and lovely and no one can wish anything more than what they already have.

--CONTINUED--

The year of the promise came but Z didn't really take it to heart since it was just a child's promise although he is a person who cherish memories alot. Since young, he is one that cherish memories more than anything else because he believe that every person he met in his life and every incident that happened is important as it will determine the futures of him. Life is about meeting the right people at the right time.

Time flies and it soon became the last year of studies for Z. A pure coincidence brings Z and his long-lost primary school friend together. Neither party believe that this happens but it did happened. Both of them was excited to see each another. They started to exchange contacts. They will call each another or meet up just to chat about the past and the life of each another. The things that they talked about seems endless. Weeks later, both of them started to feel the bond between each another. Not long did Z realised that he has not really love his girlfriend to the best. He was confused on what he really wants.

There were too many good things that happen in Z's life. Too good for a simple person to handle. Too good that it blinded him who's the best. Eventually he made a decision. A decision so painful to be made. He decided to let go of all good things that happened. He broke up with his girlfriend. Only with this, he can understand more on what he wants. To understand the true meaning of love, in order to love the one he truely loved. When that time comes, he will not bothered on the good things that happen in his life because he will be seeking for the greatest instead...to have the best memories in his life. Which he believed, will eventually, be his ex-girlfriend.

THE END

Just a usual updates

2008-06-08T01:31:00.006+08:00

I wish to continue on the second part of the story that I told in my previous post but I was too tired today. I think I will continue it the next time. I just gonna blog abit on what I did today before I goes to sleep.

Went out to have a meal today with my friends and catch a movie after that. We decided to have our dinner at Ritz Carlton Hotel before catching the movie(Kungfu Panda) at about 10plus. The services there was great once you entered the place. Different from any other restaurant that I have visited. Musician playing soothing melody together with the environment brings a great combination which gave me a unique feel of the atmosphere. Moving on, let me talk more on the food they provide. If you are a seafood lover, you will be really happy because they have seemingly the freshes lobster, clams, prawns, sashimi and alot more. I do not eat much of the seafood because I do not really like eating raw stuff. Hence, I move on to the cooked food. I have a taste of their 'crab soup'. Didn't remember the actual name because it was long. However, it taste really good. I have a taste on several of their food but only some I will mention because those are really nice and worth going.
Firstly, their unagi was nice and its different from what you eat in usual sushi restaurant.
Secondly, their chilli prawn was simply great. I didn't ate alot of it as I said I do not like eating much seafood. Nevertheless, as I have said, it was great.
Thirdly, their xing chou mee fen was fantastic. Don't say I am nuts going there eat mee fen. You will stop laughing if you have a taste of their mee fen there. Seriously, its simply fantastic and it can't be compared to any mee fen you could have eaten in your life. At least for mine. = )
Fourth, I would have to move on to their desert. Their dark chocolate was great. I also have a taste of their tiramisu. I didn't find it fantastic because there was liquor in it. In real fact I hate the smell of the XO liquor. I believe if you are okay with XO, then you should also like that. I also have a taste of their chocolate icecream. The chocolate they have has an unique taste. Can't really explain the taste but it's just special.

I didn't have to foot the meal because they wanted to treat me as a birthday meal. Thanks alot. =)
Anyway, the cost of the meal is about 100+ per person.

Overall,
Good service
Good food.

Although it might not be worth it for me as I eat less seafood. However, I will like to go back another time because of its services and also its great food.

Caught KungFu Panda after the meal. A very nice show. I will rate it 9.5/10.
100% hillarious!!
Go watch it people.

Ok. I am too tired to elaborate much on the movie. Watch it and you will know why I rated so high.

Coincidence?

2008-03-20T23:52:00.005+08:00

Yesterday, i accompany my mum for a checkup at the mt elizabeth hospital. We will there at about 12pm and she went for the checkup at around 12.30pm. Her procedure was 2.30pm so I waited 2hours before I decided to take a stroll around the hospital. I sort of gone from one storey to another and got back to the room at times, just in case my mum calls me. It was around 4+ when i found the cafeteria. Not that I found it 2hrs later, but I only got hungry when it was around 4pm. Decided to take my lunch at there when I suddenly saw this familiar face. I thought it was one of my primary school friend. I decided not to take the risk as it will be embarrassing if I mistaken for someone else. What was left was some different kind of vegetable which don't seems that appealing to me but I was hungry so I was so called forced to buy it and eat it. If not, I gonna go much further to find better food. What happen next was really funny and dramatic. It was really empty at that time and there was quite an amount of seats around. I decided to find a place and sit down to have my meal. Surprisingly, I didn't realise that she placed her bag over there. I don't really wish to explain much because it was really embarrass at that time when I was sitting at someone's place when there is really alot of empty seats around. She settle down have her meal and it was so weird for like 5mins and then she asked if I knew who was she. Yes, I knew I didn't mistaken who she was.It was all a nice coincidence i guess.. We did chat for quite sometime and then I realise she was here because of her grandmum. We also chat about our life now and recalling the past. It was quite an interesting day and rewarding because i really miss some of my primary school friends and the fun we had during the past. I gonna go find my mum at around 6pm to get home but we got each another's contact. I thought it will be a day of waiting for it turns out to be more furfilling. Oh and my mum is fine just that she has a bit of infection at her stomach..no big problem..Thats good. Thats all about what I have went through yesterday.

New Year means a new beginning and I am striving for my goal in life. I wouldn't reveal that until i get close to it (doesn't mean i am far from it now but just do not wish to say out first =D). Anyway, my final year project is finally near the end and most of our stuff is already done up so no more worries and I can sleep early everyday after submitting it. I have been sleeping lately since the start of the project and I know it is bad for health. I will be back to blogskin soon as I have promised and also I will be involve in alot of those graphic design/photo manupilation contest around the web. Hence, look forward to seeing me around. Now for my early greeting, Happy Lunar New Year!!! And limit your bet if you are gambling because it can be bad for your pocket. +D

New Year is around the corner

2007-12-23T22:21:00.002+08:00

I haven't got the time to blog lately. Thats because i am too busy with my final year project. Its almost the end of the semester which means my final year project is ending soon. Thats when i will be free to do the things that i like although i will be in army soon after i graduated from poly. Anyway, Christmas is around the corner also symboling the new year is getting nearer and nearer. This Christmas i believe will be one of the most special christmas for certain reason. New year also mean that i am getting older which means that i am more matured and also ready to take up things to a more higher level. Nevertheless, for this upcoming new year and christmas, i hope that everyone will get what they want and also live happily for the following year.

Its happy to have you around for the past year. You are special as i have said and you will always be.

SCHOOL REOPEN!!!

2007-10-18T23:53:00.000+08:00

It wasn't easy to juggle with life, studies and work at the same time. Thats the reason why i am REALLY busy nowaday. School just started and our group have 16weeks to complete the rest of our FYP.

Time is always a factor in everyone's life in every issue. I really hope we can finish the whole entire project in time with high standard.

First Week of School Reopen
A part of me still inside holiday mood. Need some time to adjust back to doing stuff. During the first week of school, I have done research again on the cryEngine which i have not touched for at least 2 months. Nevertheless, i got sustantiate amount of resources to aid me in that. Also i planned out the schedule for myself in order to get things done on time before the submittion of this FYP.

thats all for this week..i will be updating more on my progress every week

爱情玛奇朵-棒棒堂

2007-09-05T14:10:00.002+08:00

爱情玛奇朵-棒棒堂

我知道你心里有个人
但谁是那个人
你总是笑着不承认

有时候真的很想问
想从你的眼神
知道我有没有份

是不是你心里的人
当然你不用明白承认
只要用你的眼神默认
我就可以再往前多近个几分
找个理由来等你从朋友变情人

其实我好几次想要开口对你说
爱情的滋味就好像玛琪朵
甜蜜的烙印在我心口
虽然他曾拉了你的手
只是摸摸你的头
激动却一直跟着我

雨刚下过
这一个夏天显得特别闷热
当你微笑看着我
那时候
世界突然间静止一分多钟
那一个moment怎么去形容

爱情就好像玛琪朵

Design

2007-08-27T02:42:00.000+08:00

Design is all about extrordinary
Its all about something special
something not inside of the box
something not what you can see in your everysecond's life
good design is unique
good design is original
unique colour, interesting style, creative interface/layout and special feel
thats design in my life

Life

2007-08-05T03:03:00.000+08:00

I am getting more and more busy nowaday due to my school project. I am starting to hate the life i am going through now. Everyday i was like sleeping only after 2am. I guess this is really very bad for my health. Holidays coming soon. I guess thats when i can sleep early and switch back to the normal and healthy sleeping period.

Bought a sustain pedal for my keyboard recently, kind of new to that but i did pick up quite fast. Now learning Jay Chou's 退后 and might start learning his new song, Secret that i can't tell(不能说的秘密), after i have done with <<退后>>.

Recently...

2007-07-25T02:01:00.000+08:00

Emm..since i haven't been bloggin for quite some time..I think it will proper to start on what i have done recently. I was kind of busy nowaday coping with stuff in school and outside school. In school, i have my final year project to rush..Not actually rushing, but things have to be done..so i was busy to a certain extent because of that.

For blogskinner, who haven't seen me for quite sometime, i think you wouldn't be expecting me back until few weeks or months later. Even if i do, i guess i will be there making few comments on skins just to show my existence. I think i wouldn't have the time to post new skin unless i am really inspired by certain stuff.

I was engrossed in music keyboard recently. I was pretty new to that instrument at first but the more i play and practice, the more i get stuck to it. Actually, music change the mood and feeling of a person. Therefore, i find it a relatively interesting instrument to play. Still learning the beginning now. Hope i can progress fast.

Anyway, i am currently learning the song 'First Love' by Utada Hikaru. I feel that it is one of the best romance song i have heard. Hope i learn it fast enough because it is really a nice song to play.

Guess thats all for my update..hope i will have time to update regularly in the future.

Jay Chou - Secrets I Can't Tell

2007-07-07T16:20:00.001+08:00

Today, one of my friend told me that there is a new song from Jay Chou. I am always a fan of him because i find that most of his song bring out alot of emotion in me. Below is the MTV of this song, 'Secrets I Can't Tell'. Hope you all like it.

BUSY!!

2007-06-02T23:29:00.000+08:00

Many of you from blogskins have not seen me posting blogskins for quite sometime. This is because i am quite busy nowaday with my school work. Currently, in my year3 and having this major final year project. Have to submit some pre-production report this week so i will be more busy. I think i will be a bit more active once this report is done. Just here to update abit on what i am doing recently. Gonna get back to do my stuff...

Nowaday

2007-05-15T23:53:00.000+08:00

Nowaday
its different
so different
to me, waking up everyday
wasn't really an excitement
because there isn't much
anticipation to be anticipated
its just a new day
nothing more than ANEW DAY
everything else is the same
routine i went through is the same
the things that i thought about is the same
i kept thinking about the past
i guess thats what keeps me awake
i guess its the past that makes me wake up a new day
because i want to have a longer time to appreciate
to appreciate the memories of...
the past i guess

anyway, a nice music i have put up in my blog.
Yiruma - Kiss the rain
Hope you all like it

9th Skin - Take Off

New BlogSkin

2007-05-05T11:28:00.000+08:00

Recently, have been submitting blogskin for people to use. Finally i made 1 for myself replacing the "Key Of Simplicity" Skin that i had been using. I doesn't have much of a theme for this skin that i am using. When i was creating a skin for my own blog, i was thinking more towards clean look and feel. Therefore, i make use of mainly black and white to bring out the clean look. Actually i also want to bring out the classic look and feel as i am dealing with black and white. But in the end, its just create a skin out of black and white. Didn't much gotten the clean look out of it also because of the heavy load of content(tagboard, profile, entries....). Dun blame me for the small font size, coz i find that it fit nicely for this skin. =p
Anyway, Yeap! This is my new blogskin. =D

This are other skins that i have created(submitted for others to use):

spent the whole of yesterday night finishing a freelance work.
Its always hard to work and study at the same time.
Luckily, i am in year3 now.
Therefore, there is much more freedom.
i guess its really the passion that pushes me this far.
neglected a bit of my FYP previous week
need to make up for that
for those who didnt know, FYP = Final Year Project
and i am doing a 3D First Person Shooter Game out of it
i am in charge of mainly the technical part of the project
that means the coding
did some brief run though on the game engine that we will be using to create the game
seems easy for me
saw alot of tutorial and explaination on the coding(favourite them)
going in depth to doing the editing and testing of the runtime game engine this weekend
hope it is fun =D

2007-04-25T00:39:00.000+08:00

got home late recently although its school day.
I just feel better and more relax spending more time outside than staying at home.
nothing to do much at home also.
everyday, got back home, open the PC and started to play game.
I am sick and tired of this lifestyle
although game are nice, something else is better
neglected some other important stuff in my life.
I am looking forward to a whole new change in my life.
a known change that people can tell.
working hard on that.
ultimately, its only to serve one purpose....

Sometimes i just like to share some of my thoughts and feeling although it might not be easily understand by people. You know..its always better to speak out something that its stored in the person for long time. I prefer typing it out though. =D
Anyway, just a LITTLE update about school life: "Its boring *FULLSTOP*"
Its getting late.
Going to sleep.

I think for the past few weeks, i have learnt quite alot of stuff..i can't learn from book.
Few weeks ago, me and my friend were approached by this NUS lecturer. Actually at first, one of my lecturer in NP gave him our contact because that NUS lecturer wanted some website to be done. We were freelancing at that time also. So we went to look for him. After weeks of discussion, we come to know that he actually wanted us to join in with his business plan. The friend of my knows alot in corporate world. After much discussion then i realise that the NUS lecturer actually wanted to make use of us. In short, he wanted to play 'pyramid selling'. Therefore, we decide to not take up the project but we haven't let him know our plan. Just play around with him for now.
Then, currently, we are also working for this lecturer. Done few projects for him before. Actually, this lecturer whom we are doing freelancing job for, also have some intention to make use of us. Yesterday, my friend and him got into a 'stormy' discussion although both of them keep in a nice tone. I was sitting by the side hearing their conversation. Didn't cut in because didn't know what to say much also. I wouldn't say much about the content, but it was really a 'stormy' discussion. Today, to our horror, something shocking happen. Weeks ago, there is a piece of project that he prices S$800. That is actually a website to be done for the department he is working in. Actually, we have already decided and verbally agreed that we will work 4pages of website for S$800. For those who not sure of the outside market for design, a interactive website that we are doing for him, its actually can cost up to S$3k. Therefore, we are already doing for a cheap price. And, today, he told us that the S$800 that we agreed actually is for 2 websites. We was like WTH. This is when we get abit frustrated and dunno if we want to continue doing the website for him. Currently, also holding some other project in hand. Therefore, we do not have much time to spare. Taking into consideration, we still have our FYP to do. So its really a bit not fair to us..Simply put, he is just trying to con us because we do not have black and white agreement. Chinese got one saying, translated, "the wolf finally show his tail". He did. Emm, haven't really decide if we want to do the other website for him. Confusing now.
After all this things, i think that its also good for me, to experience some of the stuff in the corporate world. My friend told me that, in this world, in order to survive and make enough money, thats what usually people do. Forget all about that. I don't like to blog much about unhappiness. Think about it, it doesn't really affect much on me. Just some kind of realisation of how the corporate world works.
Kinda tired today.
Signing off.
