Went for drawing sessions today, too long since i drew.
But the environment is not very conducive. With a class going on besides us, and a talk behind us. -.-
But its the cheapest i can find! o well...
Watched MJ memorial online last night, and today my father came home and tell me its showing on channel 5 in the evening.
Apparently he went to watch also. I thought he is more of a fei yu qing guy.
I love the part when magic johnson said MJ eats kentucky fried chicken!
Sometimes. Its only through departure that we realised certain things about that person. How ironic is that. |

| tuesday ranting |
[Jun. 16th, 2009|11:18 pm] |
Things happened too fast since wednesday. Its like my brain have woken up from its deep slumber and is getting all the due work in less than a week.
All things happened after an interview with a company on last wednesday, i went home and checked my email to find another 2 interviews. Next day, i was told to go to a company for freelance on-site. Then my father told me my grandma went into hospital. Got discharge on sat... i was rejected 2 times on 2 seperate days because of weird protocols they have in hospital... i finally got in on the day she got discharged, and saw her for 2 minutes before i said goodbye. -.-
Today went for second job interview. And got a call tat my grandma got admitted again last night......
Another job which is low chance is on thursday.
O well. And all this happened while the first job pressed me for an answer, and tell me that i will lose my chance if i dun reply them immediately. -.-||
While i am typing this, i am still on tuesday. And my brain have gotten alot of information from everywhere.... I think its too rusty, its gonna explode...
tuesday rants..... |

| Da vinci the genius |

Went to the exhibition today at the science centre, and spent like 3 plus hour there looking at all the stuffs done by Da vinci over the course of his life. He is really like the name....... "a genius"!!
I wonder how can someone possibly know sooo much in one single brain?! From strategising war, inventing aero dynamic bullets, tanks, studying anatomy, painting, astronomy, animal studies, designing all sorts of machineries....music, designing backdrop for plays, sculpting.... like i think practically he does everything when he was alive....
Honestly, i only know him as an artist through his painting.. And i seriously never knew he did so much more, other than being involved in art himself.
And i am guilty for always sleeping through art history class in poly. Because it was a monday 8pm class... -.-
Its time to learn more abt people of the past, now that someone has become an interest, its easier to read on interest rather than history.. And may i say he is way too awesome for being a figure that lived 500 years back... He sort of determined what we will have today..

| nobody takes nobody seriously |
[Jun. 3rd, 2009|04:10 am] |
Sometimes when things happen to you, and you tell it to a fren. That fren might not even take you seriously, because the thing doesn't happen to him/her.
I got a fren who even said, he wouldn't believe it, until it happened to him. But when he complains about something, work or someone, i listen to him liked i believe in him.
I start to wonder if i am at the age where i should seriously not really listen to what my friends have to say, anymore.
Seriously jaded ... |

[May. 30th, 2009|01:51 am] |
After staying home for so long, i stepped into the train today and hear the noisy commuters talking. Most are complaining about the situation in life, and some ranting about stuffs. I was suddenly very annoyed. I duno if it was the noise or the fact that many people seemed to be unhappy about the situation in their life, or it was simply becuz of the crowd?
I met this ex collegue a week back. And we had an interesting conversation. She had a very good outlook about life. Which makes me think about my thoughts and about life again, deeper. She is almost in the same situation as me, looking for a job, when the industry seemed to be gloom for animators at the moment. But she told me, that what we are fretting is about our dream. While there are some people who are having problem with simple mechanism like coloring a picture, which comes naturally for us. She told me she now volunteer at a special school since she is free, and she broke down and cry the first time she went, becuz all the things we take for granted is a struggle for someone out there.
She told me, that one of her disabled fren would have wanted to exchange a day for the worst day of her life.
Well, i guess sometimes we worry too much. Or is there a certain expectation in the society for us to act in a certain way?
I miss friends who i can talk about anything and laugh about silly lame jokes. |

[Apr. 12th, 2009|07:15 pm] |
Oo. recently i realised that over the years, maybe its due to work, that i have become a internet-citizen. I think they call it netizen. -.-||
My gosh, when did it become so sad, that you only know about ur frenz thru facebook and some networking page?
I realised that whenever i am home, i am practically infront of the computer. Checking mails, surfing net...
I need to meet real people in the real dimesion. |

| Problems |
[Mar. 31st, 2009|05:26 pm] |
Hym... recently a friend told me of a problem he had with a friend... That his fren thought he is not supporting her of the decision she is making.
Well, i am saying this because in life, Many of us will tend to have different perspective on things, Anything.
As much as i appear to remain like i dun care. I am very much affected by things that happen to my friends, and family. And sometimes, these things make me altered my perspective on life. I used to be very persistent about some things. But i know no matter how much i care. I cannot do anything, unless that person is willing to accept it.
And some ppl are weird. They love to ask others for opinions, when they do not expect to hear the truth?
They expect to ask you something, and hope that you will agree with him/her no matter how absurd it might sound. Well, if you are the person giving the "comment" .. you might break or improve the relationship with your answers. It also depend on the person taking it i guess.
And people need to understand that when a friend tell you the truth, he/she is telling you because its that way from their point of view and what they've been thru.
If you cannot accept it, you can choose to throw it away. But there's no need to be angry/or shut that person out of your life because we are individuals.
We celebrate individuality by being different. By being/thinking different doesn't mean we are not friends anymore. :) |

Wendy's BIrthday!
The picture's not perfect.. just something i thought of drawing... since its the bday!
To wendy's topic today... yea.. i think people will change.. and we will grow apart..
Sometimes, i think its got to do with how people deal with it. How are they treating
people around them. I think if you do treat people sincerely.. people will treat you
nicely . Though not 100% guarantee.
I've learnt in some friendships that.. sometimes things will go wrong.. people go in
different directions. And although along the way, you get to mend some of it back..
it will never fully recover.
The best way is to mind our own behaviours i guess? Start from yourself. Do not
do anything regretful to others, or say anything that will offend others...
and be honest with ur frenz. Do not say things just because you think its right to
say that.. say it because you mean it. Really.
And sometimes its because somethings goes wrong in life, that you get the chance to
meet another friend that you can click or someone else.
Its okay.. as long as you are true to others and yourself. I believe God will send the right
company to you. :)
PS: And i am glad i met some good friends along the stages of my life. No matter what
"status" we are now.

| Fly away~ |
[Mar. 17th, 2009|07:37 pm] |
This morning, i had a strange dream. I dreamt that i was flying kite that cost 3 bucks to buy. But the string is too short, and so despite struggle, the kite flew away.
Later on, i dreamt that my fren can fly a "bullet-aeroplane"... and it can hold like 5-6 ppl just like a banana boat, except its flying?? And so we went for adventure, and went over the mountain and the sea...fun!!!
soooo.... even my dreams depict me flying away. :D |

| Changes |
[Jan. 22nd, 2009|04:13 pm] |
Well, i guess everytime you meet up some old friends, old classmates or whoever ppl that you dun see often.
You will always notice the changes.
I think i have changed too. I never used to drink coffee, more of a tea person(Except for starbucks frappe.). But now coffee has become a energy booster for a sleepy afternoon. :D
But i still think the wandering soul of mine never changed. Hehe.
Sometimes i wonder where life will bring me to?
I have a friend, whom i think is not getting support from ppl ard. becoz of some decision she is trying to make for herself.. It just reminds me of the path i chose last time... And i totally support her.. becuz sometimes i think if you never try, you will never know. And sometimes to get to the ultimate point where you wanna be, you might need to sacrifice some things. We only live once on earth, i think we should all be adventurous for a change. Experience a more diversed kind of work, life. So we might never regret when we look back. CHeeRs! |

[Jan. 6th, 2009|03:40 pm] |
I am kinda sick and tired of ppl asking why i do not have a job. Thats why i dread chinese new year and gatherings, where you meet all the elders who duno anything that you are doing, but keep asking the same q over and over everytime u see them.
And ofcoz i do not expect most of the people who know me to know what i am doing. But at least i try to know what they are doing before jumping assumptions.
I guess sometimes, people in my industry can only talk to ppl in the same field, because we are facing the same problems. And lucky for me, i found myself 2 trustworthy frenz along the way.. who is almost 10 years my senoirs, whom i can talk to and relate. Because we have a passion in life, and want to follow our hearts.
I guess till right now, i am happy with all the choices i have made. And pls dun bug me with more of these questions especially if you do not understand the nature of what i am doing. Xie Xie :) |

| Finally! Queenstown-Day2 |
[Dec. 17th, 2008|12:48 am] |
oOoo, finally posting some of the images i took while i was in the Southisland.. because day1, we reached at night in christchurch, i didnt take much photos. Let's start with Day2 at Queenstown.
This was the main area of Queenstown. Its really a tourist spot. With loads of activities within the area.. nothing much in the town actually. You have to travel out to see more interesting stuff.
So we took a half day tour to the skippers canyon. Becuz there's nothing much to do unless you wanna try sky-diving, or para-gliding. which, i am not doing, saving up for the hot air-ballooning, which later~ did not happen becuz of bad weather....
View inside the vehicle.. it was really terrifying, becuz the road was rocky.. narrow, and really bumpy.
One turn off... and we could say goodbye. And luckily, the weather was good.
vehicle which brought us here. :) Cool stuff
Its an awesome view~! Really Spectacular. And that rock there, was massive! It was only the beginning, and we are already "wowed" by south island!
Me and the rock!
The richest river in NZ! It was used in Gold mining many years back.
I did one of the overshot jet which turns 360 degree on water. nice~
We tried our hands at some. None of us got any. Only the owner who joined us did. one small flake though. :D
The small musuem they retained. Things that the gold miners left behind.
The super old telephone!
world's first permanent commercial bungee site; the Kawarau Bridge Bungy. Now closed.
Its too short for today's standard.
Went to the park at the town. Nice long trail.
Went to take their cable for the sunset. Felt that the view not manificent enough.
Thats all for Queenstown-Day 2 of my journey.
Rest of it can be seen here. smg.photobucket.com/albums/v192/poxy_/New%20Zealand_Southisland_Day2/ |

Dunno what happened. But after i came back from NZ. I feel very out of place here.
Like the things i used to love to eat, doesn't taste as good. And the places i go dun feel the same anymore.
And sometimes, you just dun wanna stay at home.. But you dun really know where to go.
And the movie craze just suddenly disappear into thin air.
And been having insomnia like crazy, even though i haven't even work yet! I can feel the society pressure out on the streets itself. omg. Its as if this city itself have a invisible standards on what a person should wear, look, how the hair should be.. how he/she should walk.. |

Guessed its better this week.

well. as we know, we live in a world that have friendster, multiply, and facebooks. Many of which reflects our social status.
It seems that we based our social status on a "networking" system which allows us to add friends even when we hardly know the person. And as if we have loads of frenz on the list, we win the race.Ofcoz, frenster used to be a place where i find old pri sch frens. :)
Then some ppl like "networking" in real life. Small talking to everybody.. hoping to get something out of it.. acting frenly to ppl of high social status in the related industry.. eg: bosses
personally if they are genuinely frenly ppl, i will not have any comments against them.. But if they seem to have ulterior motives..
or an ultimate goal that "they could count on that person to get them their next dream job etc.. " i think thats totally digusting.
I believe meeting people in a geniune situation. Because i guess only in these situation will you really remember them, and vice versa.
And if you try too hard at some things, and people.. not only will u break the frenship, you will even leave a bad impression.
Dun be too eager to prove urself to others...especially when you just know them.
If you are capable. Ppl can see that. and will remember it.
Ofcoz, ppl are diversed. And we celebrate differences. Just dun ask everyone else to join in the game :) |

| love ur neighbour like urself? |
[Jun. 24th, 2008|11:22 am] |
I detest it when ppl make irresponsible remarks..
For example, like we know someone is going to be unfaithful to his gf and go with another girl just because his gf is not in the same country as the guy. Some people will say things like " i can understand, cause its hard to resists it because another girl comes along"
But that person who made exactly the same comment, is actually capable of falling into the same situation because his/her partner is also of a different nationality.
If one day, the same things applied to her/him, and his or her partner is unfaithful to them, will they be able to say "i can understand??"
Sometimes, we say things to side with our friends who is about to fall into that moment of trap, things that when applied to ourself is totally justified as being wrong.. we say things that sounds nice because we want to be a friend to that person, we dun wanna lose a friend.
We have to understand that being a friend, a sister, a child or employee does not mean we have to totally agree with what the other person is saying or doing.. But it means that even when we disagree with something, we still honour them! We still treat them like our friend and sister. You know? Dun agree doesn't mean that you begin to mistreat the other person..
Can we really love and care for somebody outside of your own family like your own?
Love your neighbour? Its hard.. |
