Shiet.
Bored tonight. I think im going to do an illustration later with a random picture. See how it turns out. I'm on an emo music listening night even though im not really that emo. Checking out everyone's blogs and stuff, seeing how everyone else's lives pan out. Its quite scary really, everyones growing up.
My blog tonight isn't about me, its about a friend who feels betrayed and angry.
Learning to let go is a hard thing to do. I don't think anyone can really understand what it means to really let go of something they love. None of us can. Who wants to leave the best things that has ever happened to them? Who really wants to leave behind all the sad thoughts and happy thoughts, all the memories? But learning to let go isn't learning to let go, its merely adapting to change. You can't change a person's feelings or thoughts or emotions, but you can most certainly change yours. All it takes is for you to loosen the grip on each one of your fingers slowly... and let go.
I know, i've been through it before.
//for the broken hearted.
Broken promises
But you don't really mind
It's not the first time and you know it
Don't you know
Tell me why it is you only smile inside
But when you break me into nothing
Don't you know
It's not like I haven't tried over and over again
Stupid fights, wrong or right
Goodbye
I remember when you came with me that night
We said forever, that you would never let me go
But here I am again
With nothing left inside
Know I don't wanna
But I gotta let you go
You're the one mistake I really didn't mind
So beautiful, unmerciful
It took me down
Too little and too late
See now I know your kind
You fake it easy just to please me
Don't you know
It's not like we haven't tried over and over again
Sleepless nights, wrong or right
Goodbye
I gotta let you go
It's you
There's nothing I can do

Mmmm. Donuts.
K, finally got my ass off gaming to post this. Last sunday i went to a short trip to Malaysia (JB, etc) with my parents. We were on a tour and we went around shopping and eating. Took a few pictures, and ate donuts. Sorry about the picture quality, i don't have a digicam, most of these are taken with my HP.
We took a coach at 630am and we headed off from bukit merah. We stopped at JB to have lunch, nothing special, then we headed off to a shopping mall. It was freaking huge. Like, 5x Wisma or something. But sadly, there was nothing special inside, just the same old malls and shops that we see around Singapore.
So big, but nothing.
Walked around abit, and i chanced upon a bit of nostalgia... Dunkin Donuts! I still remember as a kid i used to buy these by the truckloads, eating them as i go home. Too bad they don't exist in Singapore anymore, i bought a few with my family, and we shared, and they still tasted as awesome as ever. We bought more and ate them the whole day.
Mmmm. Donuts.
We then went to Desaru fruit farm. Again, i don't really get the point of going there because we don't even get to go into the farm, we just get to go into the souvenir shop. So all the aunties got conned into buying fruits and stuff, and i chanced upon another tour group listening into a talk. They were actually peddling Tongkat Ali. I'm not kidding. They claimed it had special medicinal properties, but i think the only place it helps increase produduction is.. heh.
Tongkat Ali FTW.
Then we went to eat seafood at some random restaurant. The food was damn nice. So nice that i didn't take any pictures of it.
Then came to the culmination of the whole trip, fireflies. After the dinner, we sat on a long boat ride into a random river to see fireflies. I couldn't take any pictures of the fireflies because it was too damn dark, but i do however have nice sunset pictures. It was a great experience, but i felt it was abit boring. I didnt even get to see a firefly up close, although some did fly past me.
After the whole day, we sat a 4 hour long coach ride home.

Geek FTW.
Got this from a website somewhere.
In the wide world of dating, there are many options. Do you go for the flashy guy with the smooth smile, or the dude in the corner typing away on his laptop? The following are reasons why I think my fellow females should pay more attention to the quiet geeks and nerds, and less attention to the flashy boys.
1.) While geeks and nerds may be awkward, they're well-meaning 9 out of 10 times. That smooth dude with the sly grin and the spider hands? Wonder what HIS intentions are... plus, I've never had a geek guy not call me when he said he would. Score major points THERE.
2.) They're useful. In this tech-savvy world, it's great to have a b/f who can make your laptop, desktop, and just about anything else that plugs into a wall behave itself.
3.) They're more romantic than they're given credit for. Ok true, their idea of romance might be to make up a spiffy web-page with all the reasons why they love you, with links to pics of you and sonnets and such... but hey. It lasts longer than flowers, plus you can show your friends.
4.) Due to their neglected status, there are plenty to choose from. You like 'em tall and slender? There are plenty of geeks/nerds who are. You like 'em smaller with more meat on their bones? Got that too.
5.) They've got brains. Come on now, how can intelligence be a bad thing?
6.) Most are quite good at remembering dates. Like birthdates and such, especially if they know it'll make you happy. Due again to their neglected status, they're more attentive than guys who "have more options". Plus, with all that down time without a steady girlfriend, they'll likely have mental lists of all the things they'd love to do once they GOT a girlfriend.
7.) Sex. Yep. Sex. I'm not really familiar with this myself, but I've friends who've been intimate with geek guys and it's raves all around. They say a virgin wrote the Kama Sutra... all that time thinking about sex, imagining sex, dreaming about sex, (they are male after all) coupled with a desire to make you happy? Use your imagination.
8.) They're relatively low-maintenance. Most can be fueled on pizza, Twinkies and Mt Dew. No complicated dinners needed here, so if you're not the best cook, eh. Can you order a pizza?
9.) Most frequent bars as often as slugs frequent salt mines. You won't have to worry much about your geek guy getting his "groove" on with club hotties because, frankly, he'll be too busy rooting around under his computer wondering where that spare cable went. You won't have to worry about him flirting with other women because, 9 out of 10 times, he'll zip right by them in a perfect b-line towards the nearest electronics store. I've seen this happen.
Me: "Eww. Victoria Secret's Models... They're so skinny. How is that feminine? You can see her ribs!"
Geek Guy: "ooooooo..."
Me: "Hey!" *notices he is staring lustfully towards the computer store*
Geek Guy: "What?"
Me: "Never mind..."
10.) Although he may not want to go to every outing with you, you can arrange swaps, as in, you'll go to his Gamer Con dressed as an elf princess if he'll take you to the ballet. Plus, if he doesn't want to go someplace with you, you won't have to worry much about what he's up to. You'll probably come home to find him asleep on his keyboard in a sea of Mt. Dew cans with code blinking from the screen. It's ok. He's used to this. Just toss a blanket over him and turn out the light.
11.) His friends aren't jerks. I can't stress this enough. You'll more likely get "Omg! A GIRL!! Can I see?!" than "Hey hot stuff back that ass up here and let me get some grub on..." They're awkward geeks too and will, 9 times out of 10, treat you with the utmost respect and, more than likely, a note of awe. A cute girl picked one of their clan to date? It could happen to them! Hope! Drag some of your single girlfriends over, open up a pack of Mt. Dew, crack open the DnD set and get working. Nothing impresses geek guys more than a girl who can hack-n-slash (well ok maybe if she can code... a geek can dream).
12.) They're rarely if ever possessive. They trust you, so you can be yourself around them. You like to walk around the house in a ratty t-shirt for comfort? He won't care. He does too! They won't get pissy if you don't wear make-up or don't want to bother primping your hair. If you gain a few pounds, they won't try their best to make you feel like crap.
13.) They're usually very well educated. Physics majors and the like. See #5. You won't have to listen to him blathering on about his car (ok maybe a little), he'll have loads of other interesting things to talk about. Politics, world events, how much the chicken burgers down at the local place rock, so long as you douse them in hot sauce...
14.) You'll almost never have to hear, "Yaw dawg whazzap!!" plop out of their mouths. Unless it's in jest. They spell properly, use correct punctuation, and are able to tell the difference between the toilet and the floor. They almost never get "wasted", so you won't have to worry about coming home to find him and his friends passed out on the floor amidst a pile of beer bottles. Mt. Dew cans, perhaps...
15.) And the final reason why geeks and nerds make great boyfriends: They actually give a damn about you. Not how you look (though that's a plus), not how skinny you are, not how much make-up you primp yourself up with, but they like you for you. That kind of thing lasts longer than "DaMN baby you got a fine ass!!!" Believe me.

Minds lost, hearts fly.
I'm going to baybeats tomorrow! Anyone else heading there? Going with dear and Rainer, not sure who else is going, i think Christine and Siyuan going as well. Sad thing is, i'll have to miss sunday, which promises the best bands, electrico, concave scream, as well as many foreign indie bands.
Sad.
All because i made plans with my family to go Malaysia for a tour trip for a day.
Sad.
But i guess its ok, i'll bring along my ipod and electrico will be following me throughout the trip. =\. But i'm still sore that i'm about to miss their first performance since they have released their album. Like. fuck. I missed their previous year's performance at baybeats and then again this year. This sucks. It's like a curse. I haven't watched them perform live in ages.
I'll be taking lots of pictures though. I hope.

Various degrees of pain
Whenever the sun sets, i think about what happens next. I feel guilty sometimes, maybe it's really my fault that they have became like that. Maybe its my fault. But then again maybe its not. But i don't know what to do really.
Do i stand up and do something and risk my studies? Or do i spend the next few years of my life in NS reflecting and becoming a real person. That is, perhaps, the question i must ask myself as i finish my poly years. The months are counting down slowly but surely and the time is getting scarce. I fear that there is not enough time. Everyone fears that. I know i can show myself to the world, but how? Does anyone really care? Attention seems to be on the video students now, to showcase what they've not been showing of for the past few years, immense talent from the youth. So what about multimedia? There are limits to be pushed, but to what extent? The limitations bother me. There has to be a way to transcend this boundary, but i have yet to think of it.
Bah. Titan Quest la.

All the world
A post before i leave in the morning. Had a tough time getting out of bed today. I woke up and i was quite bored, so i decided to surf around and really, i didn't know what to do. So here i am posting. I've been thinking about my friends this morning, and i realise i miss my secondary school days. I bet all the guys are in NS now, and here i am slogging with life and coping with work.
I think all the world is dreaming.
I don't know who still reads my blog anyway.
But for you, my loyal readers, i will post.

Screwdriver
So i recently got a Macbook Pro, and it's already a little grumpy. Must be because it know's i destroyed one of its ancestors.
I spent the weekend trying to reinstall OS X, failing each time. I was wondering what was the problem, because i didn't do anything drastic to it. Then this morning, i woke up, went down, bought a pack of tiny screwdrivers, unscrewed the ram slot, took out the 1gb of ram that i bought for it, and it worked fine.
It was because of a third party item that made my ram wonky. Go figure.
But other than that i <3 my laptop.
Oh ya, check out Xiaohui's blog if u need new music to listen to. The song rocks balls.
1 year coming...

OMG MTV!!!!!!!!!!!111!!! #4 - "Snow Patrol - Hands Open"
Another week, another MTV. After scouting around the deep darkness of youtube, i found this video of a new song from Snow Patrol's new album "Eyes Open". I really like their music, i feel its quite unique and has very much an indie feel to it. Kinda like weezer. Enjoy.

I'm Standing Here
Long reflective post.
Admist all the chaos and confusion, a new semester begins, officially.
Been chilling out most of the day, enjoying my last sips of freedom, awaiting the painful truth that is foreboding. The next 5 months is going to be quite simply put, amazing. I guess if i were to bring back one thing from SIP, just one thing alone, would be that being able to enjoy what you were doing was the key to success. I'm sure many would nod their heads slowly in a similar fashion if i say that if we don't appreciate or like what we are doing, why we are staying up late nights burning the midnight oil or struggling so hard in school in doing so, is that we are doing what we like, and showing the rest of the world what we can offer in the process. We may not be accountants or businessmen, we may not be politicians or salesmen, but we are damn passionate about what we do and we do it well. It doesn't matter who says whether or not we can do what we want to do, whether which school or polytechnic has more facilities or ability, but its about the passion.
Block teaching was thought up by Moses because he felt that we were often staying up late nights trying to complete projects, and thus he tried to help us by easing the process in which we go through our daily school routine. Thanks, but i'm sorry, you'll see most of us staying up late at night once again. Not because we hate block teaching, most of us are curious about what it can offer, but alot of us stay up because WE WANT to. It is this same reason and drive that can get us far in what we are doing.
There are a million ways to achieve something, but each of us are doing our way, weaving our own unique thread to the door at the very end of the path.
Wah, so many big words, so philosophical sia.
I got kinda cheesed that i have to wake up at 7 every morning to get to school by 9 for my first block this semester, AND i have to sit through 4 hours of web based pleasure for InMa 2 every day for the next 4 weeks.
I'm thinking of working on a new site that will contain my portfolio. I don't have much to show still, but re designing another permanent layout for my portfolio would be nice. I got partly influenced to do it after looking at Justin's new layout. Go check out his new layout, its not bad.
My parents returned home from their trip to batam today, apparently they met up with alot of problems to and fro, luggage went missing, they had to deal with indonesian mafia etc...
No i'm not kidding abt the last sentence, it was true. Well, according to my younger sister anyway.
That's all i have in my head now, going to go play o2jam with xh now.
I have this feeling it's going to feel like the first day of school all over again.
Silly abel.

Start The Machine
Argh, havent posted in 5 days. Lazy :p
School has started! But i bet half of us are still in the "SIP" mood and don't wish school to start. We'll settle in soon enough though. I envy those with 1 month breaks, because i don't have anyway. I have 21 weeks of non stop school. But i do have my Monday's free so its a consolation.
My parent's are out for the long weekend so i have the house all to myself. It's quite weird listening to the dead silence as i type on the keyboard. It's freaky almost. Usually at this time i'll hear the quiet hum of the fans of the other rooms and the almost soft whir of the television in the living room. Now theres just... air.
Angels and Airwaves album got leaked! I downloaded it first thing on thursday and i think its..... meh. I think its abit over hyped, and its just so so only. Good job on the guitar riffs and the unique sound though, but i think its anything but punk.
Downloaded Adobe premier and after effects too. Going to try my hand at cutting some MTV's or something. Will post the results. Haha.
And yes, school hasn't started, but im excited.
(Oh and i'm getting the macbook, as well as 1230192310 in school. Alot of people getting. That is, if UOB does not fail me and reject my giro application. If it does... T_T)

OMG MTV!!!!!!!!!!!111!!! #3
Haven't posted one in a while. I'm absolutely in love with Artic Monkeys lately, some might say they are overhyped but i think their songs have infectious lyrics and riffs. I particularly like this song's chorus. The mtv is also quite interesting, although abit weird. But hey, weird is good right?Artic Monkeys - When the sun goes down

Apple releases 17" MacBook Pro
Just after i posted the previous post, they released a 17 Inch version. The sarcasm ensues.Click Here
The new 17 Inch costs $5000 SGD and you probably have to be really insane or filthy rich to get it. It brings back firewire 800 to the macbook pro, as well as an (1680x 1050)insanely high res lcd screen (), 3 usb ports, 1gb of ram and 120gb hard disk.
Damn.
We are now approaching.... Monkey land.
(this post was supposed to be posted yesterday but blogger wasn't working the whole night)
First day of school was quite hectic, and i was not prepared for it at all. I haven't prepared my timetable at all and i had to do it last minute.
And then there was some scary confusion last night that we have to hand in the log books and the reports on monday. *AHEM*chris*AHEM* Luckily Jeff told me that we can hand in anytime tomorrow.
I also realised that i lacked 3 more Cu's in order to clear my diploma elective's. I got broadcast design today (i took the last slot but others may still get it if someone drops it) and i changed my COMDA class to T06 (desmond's class). I didn't drop anything, going to cheong this semester and try to clear all my electives so that i have a pretty empty semester 6.
This is going to be one exciting semester.
In case you didnt know already, i dropped my powerbook.
I'll wait 5 minutes for you to gasp in silence at my stupidity.
Back? I'm not going to tell you a grandfather story, just that someone knocked over my powerbook while i'm on the escalator while i was on it and ran away. I didn't even get a chance to stop the guy.
So now i'm left with a spoilt powerbook with no warranty. Yay. Chris was the first to tell me that the school was having some crazy hire purchase plan for the macbook pro, and i'm considering getting one to replace my spoilt notebook. I'm suay i guess.
A bunch of us made badges during school today too. Si yuan brought the machine over and we made alot of badges and brought a few home too. We were like mad raving paper craving madmen, tearing pages out of anything that can be teared and whomping them into the badge making machine. I'm lazy to take photos but they're nice.
Back to SIP report.

Oei! UPDATE La!
Fine. Haha. Sorry for being away for so long. After the long weekend (spent eating lots of snacks and terraforming into an actual potato) i had to go back to the office to do alot of work. I'm right now in the process of cleaning up elipva's home page redesign done by the previous designer and its not an easy task.
Can't wait to get back to normal life. School that is. I hope block teaching isn't that bad. I'm not looking forward to it, but im intruiged by it, nontheless. I hope it doesn't screw us up in terms of time management.
Going clubbing on friday. It's going to be my second time stepping into a club.
Ok, back to work, no time for a <br>. Hehe.

Silly me.

OMG MTV!!!!!!!!!!!111!!! #2
Mama... here is another MTV.... Mama... ooooo.... Mama, please watch it and comment.... Mama....Ok enough joking around. (if you don't get it go watch the mtv) Here is another one, an old one, but its a classic, when it came out it was queen's #1 song. Some say its the song of the millenium. I don't know, i just think the MTV is funny. Song is good though. Is this where Mew got their album cover inspiration from?

OMG MTV!!!!!!!!!!!111!!! #1
Since we're on the mood for posting MTV's, here is another one. I'll occasionally post mtv's every once in a while which i think are nice or just plain weird. Everyone likes MTV's Right? If you got any suggestions, post in the comments of the post... i don't wanna clutter up the tagboard too much.It has dead deer, rubber duckies, and explosions morphing into ballerina's, of course you would like it. :) Enjoy. Thanks Glenn for suggesting this fatty tumour. -_-||

Sniffles
I think i'm going to fall sick.
The weather has been horrible the past few days, i always wake up sniffling and cold, and because i have a habit of showering before i go out everyday, i end up having a slight cold that lasts up until late afternoon, sometimes for the whole day. I think it can be classified under a sinus condition. It's always been like that since i was young, and bad weather only makes it worse. Headaches, stomach-ache's, joint pains, damn i sound like an old person.
Rain is nice, but not when it makes me sneeze like a fuckhead T_T.
There was no blog yesterday because i was exercising my right to be lazy. And that right also allows me to procrastinate, but i shall refrain from doing that here today. :).
I've been listening and looping to a few songs over the past few days, listening to alot of Artic Monkey's songs. Going to find more music to download over the weekend, i'll post if i find anything nice. I also found this thing that is basically Last FM (a service that allows you to install a plugin into your itunes so that you automatically can have a listing of all your songs and charts, and the music you listen to the most, etc.) and makes it a HTML button or chart or graphic. I'm thinking of adding something like that to my sidebar, so i'm going to take a look at it later tonight.

Smokemachine
Went for qing ming today with my parents. It was quite a morning, had to endure a few hours of screaming hot sun and heavy smoke to pay our respects to my grandparents and my grand uncle. But being there made me realise how much our traditions are dying. There seems to be lesser and lesser people there nowadays.
I took a few photos, will post them up later if i have the time. Watching Man U vs Arsenal now with my dad. Haven't watched soccer in awhile...

of Hookers and Horses
Theres not much blog activity today because i spent most of my morning in dreamland and my afternoon torn between two imaginary worlds, one with goblins and killer rats and another with hookers and pai kias. I was playing TES IV:Oblivion this morning, after a few days of tweaking the game to run smoothly on my system and stuff, and it was damn fun! The world that the creators built is just so incredible in terms of visuals and depth. Justin got his original copy yesterday before Yeah, i'm a slacker.
Just came back from bugis, went out with xh for awhile and we bought a pair of rings that were long overdue. Supposed to get them ages ago but we kept delaying it. Their nice, but i wish i got mine a size bigger. Maybe im not used to it yet.
I am lagging behind on Lost, i missed 2 episodes and i don't even realise it. Going to watch them now.

Perfect 10
Tonight gonna go eat prata with the IMD gang. I have no idea where we are going to eat but i'll just tag along and hope that jacky know's a good prata place. lol.
SIP only left 2 more weeks, and my Supervisor has stopped giving me any "big" projects to do. So far quite ok la, i think i mostly work on small projects anyway. I did the layout for an MOH portal, a few corporate templates for elipva itself, and then edit a few websites here and there lor. By far the most complex project is the MOH one because i had to redo the entire site and literally code everything from nothing. Damn scary at first, but i managed to pull it off somehow. I hope the rest of you are doing fine for SIP, don't come back to school a zombie... haha.
I also just realised its 10 days to 10 months. <3 you dear.

Channel Frederator
As sure as i know all of you love cartoons, i know you guys will love Channel Frederator. I found out about Channel Frederator after XH told me about it. She watched a few at her office and was telling me how nice it was so i decided to download a few and watch it. It is a videocast (video podcast) about animations mostly adult-centric. Not PORN adult but more geared towards adults. It's not just any cartoons, but indie-toons, 3D animation, MTV's, cartoon's that are independantly made and produced, so you know they are good.Channel Frederator
Channel Frederator is a weekly cartoon videocast that is created by Fred Seibert's Frederator Studios, the world's leading independant animation producers. They've produced stuff like Fairy Oddparents, Dexter's Lab and the Powerpuff Girls.

When i miss you, i feel like such a fool.
It feels like looking down a barrel of a gun, and it goes off.

I hacked my blog!
I just updated my blog with a couple of features, and i guess i'm ready to finally say its done. Click the read more button to see them.
Extended blog posts
You've just used it. It's used when i have non personal or important stuff to blog about that is long and draggy, or it can be used on long blog posts so that it won't clutter the home page down and make it too long. Also allows me to post longer posts and have more posts on the homepage. To extend a post, click the read more button when it appears below posts. it will enlarge the post.
Peekaboo comments
Now, instead of comments for posts popping up in a new window or loading an ugly blogger comment page, clicking the comment button will pop out the comments at the bottom of the post (using CSS!) and have a link to post a comment to, which will then load up another window. I hope this makes people comment more -_-. But then again, i need to blog more too. Hah.
Archives sorted by titles
I'd expect i will have alot of blog posts per month and it's easier to sort out my archives this way than to list out ALL the blogs open in one page.

TT's!
Occasionally i like to blog about certain technology related stuff that alot of you care don't care about. I've decided to label the titles some of my tech related posts and i came up with something interesting. Tech Tips will now be labeled as titties TT's.
Good day.
(On the subject of tech stuff, im currently hacking my blogger template to include a few nice features that i can have for my blog. Update later.)

Its time for a sexy party!
-gasp!-
It's done. Did the layout in one day, fixed some problems and made it work during work. I'll add more stuff tomorrow if i have the time, but this should be the end of me being lazy and not doing any work.
That said, work has been decent. The people at the workplace are nice, and the atmosphere is somewhat cosy due to a few alterations to the office done by the other two designers there. (although it still reeks of the plain square office atmosphere. You could almost breathe it in.) So i'm still surviving. A few more weeks to go.
I got a new phone recently. I got the MotorolaV3i. I've always liked the v3 but decided to get a v3i because it has removable memory and came with a 256mb memory card. Thats twice as much as v3x even! The reason i changed my phone was because i was fed up with fucking nokia symbian phones. I swear, everytime i touch a symbian phone, it hangs for no good reason. Maybe i am cursed to never use nokia products or something, but i once liked their phones. Alot. Three of my nokia phones have either been lost or stolen and the rest just plain sucked. Just don't get a nokia symbian phone no matter how nice it sounds.
My parents just came back from Hong Kong, and all they got me was a stupid towel.
not just any towel.
I see the lights every night when i walk home.
