i almost gave up typing them all -..-

i always used to think that quotes people fwd will a waste of time for my read. but i can’t help but admit that all people want is to encourage you and motivate you. or at least. the person who started it all.

these quotes were written by a 90 yr old lady. i guess you’ll have to seen it all to be able to stay true to what you say.

back in sunnysweatyswiney island

hello sun i am back.

a few years ago when i was still with Jasman, i always silently/secretly wished that he would come back earlier to give me a surprise whenever he went back to indon for 2 weeks/a month. to alleviate me from whatever yearning and ya i love (to the power of love) surprises.

so….. my love (to the power of love) for surprises has taken me over and now that i have the chance to give others the surprise, i painstakingly PLANNED for one to happen since 4 months ago. i told junjia and many others not to let JH noe that im coming back earlier and PLANNED with her to let me into the house in the morning so that i could surprise the sleeping jh with my crazy eyes. but swine flu hit singapore and my plan was foiled.

well, half the plan went through. but the last half didnt. jh didnt know i reached singapore.. only 20 hours after. i should have just told him im reaching on the 12th instead laa. hmph.

then, he attempted to surprise me too, by appearing downstairs and all i could do was to look at him from the balcony. how romeo and juliet. rarr..

seriously, i don’t really care about the self quarantine thing, and i swear that i might even just fall ill cos im bored to death closing myself up at home. but if the people around me care about it SO MUCH, i will, at least, respect them.

sigh.

hello sleeping bird.

that was what jerms and i saw. some cute little black bird squatting on the bench, sleeping, all puffed up.

anws, some real cool vid. awesomeness.

been a while

it’s been a while since i last posted. gonna hav loads to update when i actually get down to it. it seems like jerms does really know me quite a bit. :]] more than i have expected. all the small details, the habits, the lines, the thoughts. no big shit though, the nut is hard to crack just like a circle has no edges..:/ ohk bad analogy and no this post will not be :s .

this post is gonna be short and sweet, and just because i have the time now while im the go. good and bad.

good cos i get to spend today alone, catching up on sleep. bad cos my immune system is down. bad cos im down with flu, feeling feverish with initial slight headache, very dry throat.. bahh.

i cross my fingers and cross my toes. that this feverish fever will never come. that this is just due to traveling and fatigue. cos i really wanna continue this travelling experience and stay in a campervan, moving from places to places.

no worries, its not the swine thing. i hope. now, my eyes are crossed.

same same but different in the many contexts.

just… blew me away.

 

Anws, i’m gonna put one more post about my stay in Vancouver, and then let this wordpress rest for a month or two.. let it disappear or sth, until im ready for more people more updates and stuff to show. i don’t know what to feel now. same same but different. 

 

“You have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile.”

mr. Q again.

If you do not express your own original ideas, if you do not listen to your own being, you will have betrayed yourself.

-Rollo May

 

i have heard so many times that people dislike what they are doing just because they are working in a group. and that what they like is not what the rest like. you now have no choice but to do what majority prefers and move on. 

so, does that equate to betraying yourself? yet sometimes, its inevitable isn’t it?

oops.

wearing contacts have never made me feel so tired before. is it because im no longer used to my hard lens? or cos im fat and lazy and unhealthy already.. my waist is growing side ways! not a good sign. hmm. it wouldn’t be a good sign if its growing in the other direction either. anws just did some admin stuff like booking of hostels and planes/trains for the three of us.. JeromeJzz, SamsonLame and i. i hate it !! i hate admin!! 

somebody please create a webportal or some online service that helps people to pool in all the relevant and cheapest/efficient trip data and plan their costs? please please. :]] just like gothere.sg but a different scale and range ;] . hint.blink.hint.

all i know for sure, is that i’ll send home a report of the costs and plans and name it ‘mommy i’m sorry’.

oops.

what will crop say?

damn, im excited over my haircut appointment tmr. the website’s really cute.. i’ll decide if i want to post it up after my haircut at 10am loll.. and anws i’ve been wanting a permed hairstyle eversince last year.. unfortunately, it was AFTER i had my short hair.. so tadaa.. this. will be what im looking forward to in oct/nov 2009. i will get hair long enough for this!!

advertising SamsonLame

this is the video i was talkin about!! it was shown in ECU’s Media show 2009. and SamsonLame was the director..

goodjob Albert!!

vimeo rocks my gloves

i was just testing how vimeo will be embedded in wordpress and tadaa!! =]] anws the clip i have posted was sth i found on vimeo and i thought it was fantastic. great concept, color and indeed, voyeurism..

don’t u agree that we humans just love to look at people.. and their lives, at a distance? even though we don’t know them, we are curious, and nosey. its our inherent tendency to be silently involved in the fellow commuters’ conversations in the bus, overtly staring at daily dramas non-concerning us at the corner of our eyes.. etc.

i liked the way the clip ended.. =]]

forgiveness?

my morning facebook-browsing-ritual made me search up on “forgiveness and acceptance”. not that i was trying to poke my nose in people’s lives.. well, sort of, but i felt like replying to someone’s casual or not, comment that she shared, even though she’s a hi-bye friend whom i met in school. never gotten the chance to know her better.

i’ve gotten the quote from this link, and although im not a christian, i find that it makes sense, and it might be potentially therapeutic. 

If I refuse to forgive, its a sin against myself.

” The roots of unforgiveness are pride, vainglory, arrogance, and conceit. If I refuse to forgive someone, it is my sin….. We refuse to forgive because we feel justified in our resentment and bitterness.  To harbor bitterness is unadulterated pride and conceit, and we alienate ourselves from Christ. Resentment and bitterness are cancer in the soul, which will destroy us if we do not forgive and become reconciled. Such bitterness is often the root of addictions, which are simply attempts to anesthetize the pain of our own self-condemnation. We torment ourselves with the remembrance of wrongs and wallow in our self-pity, thinking ourselves the innocent victims.”

so, does that mean that by forgiving we are releasing ourselves from the torments that we have further created subsequent to .. the sins of others?

or is it fate that we have to accept and fmove on. peace will always be beyond our reach.

ohk, im confused.

my brief update for the last day.

This semester has officially come to an end yesterday in Emily Carr University. well, not exactly, but because we kinda handed in the modeling assignment one week earlier. although instructorbob told us that it was due last friday, we met Timu yesterday and he said that it was due tmr. hmmmm. confused. but oh wells, it had already made me start on my final aftereffects assignment late and gave me those shivering panic attacks. then again, who am i to blame but myself, yet again?

i took a photojournal of my last day in school but i haven’t uploaded them. took a 12 hours FANTASTIC sleep. and woke up feeling like a little chinchilla ready to run! only to realise that my knees are still aching. which makes me wonder if i had been exercising in my sleep.

why would my knees hurt if i hadn’t been OUT OF THE HOUSE for the past one week? that was weird and ShannonTheFellowAng asked if it was my left knee since there was a peculiar trend of the pain-in-the-left-knee thing goin around in ECU..

JaceTheEyeCandy was mad at his sound designer cos he was uncontactable and their gradfilm is due in 20 days’ time!! how i wished i could be his sound designer. 

so.. we went for the media show and i was impressed with SamsonLame’s piece.. i wonder if i can rip it off from him and store them in my harddisk .. and promote him to friends!! loll.. we have been tryin to match make him with every girl we deem suitable. cos.. he’s really a nice fella with a lame sense of humour that girls won’t particularly mind. he’s tall, dark [even during winter] and handsome!!.. i believe beneath those checkered shirts lie his abs. hahaa.. and what’s more, he’s THE.AE.KING.. so girls, grab him when he’s still available.

best if you could stalk him.

i’m busy doing up my portfolio, well, actually fretting over them cos it’d be the first time im applyin for a job!! my new found love is After Effects. my all time love has been awesome – illustrator. just that what’s on the list that the school gave out for the animation faculty was not what im looking for. 

will the onemanshow person please take me in?? i really like ur motion graphics and i dont’ mind working for free.

golub my pet fish.

so does Golub make u feel like kissing.. her? wahahhaha

crop adventure

i don’t noe if i’ve posted up this picture over here before. but i would really love to have my hair like that. 

words

it only takes a spark, to set a forest on fire. it only takes a wrongly placed word out of your mouth to ruin the world, turn harmony into chaos, burn friendships.

stop eating away people’s spirits. no one wants to be nibbled to death by ducks. no one wishes to be alive but in pain. so, a reminder to all, that words are not meant to hurt, but to say i love you.

don’t you agree too?
