[Full Size Image Here]

Okay, figured I haven't done anything new in a long time. And plus I was bored out of my mind yesterday. So.. I did another vector. It's not perfect, i've gotten lazy and sloppy. But whatever.

ANyhow, hockey yesterday was not bad. I SCORED!!! woohoo!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!! ahahahah .. it was supercool. I feel supercool. haha .. ok.. i should stop going on about it. Marc called last night, he called to sing me this song he wrote for fun. And we talked for like an hour, I forgot what a huge fan I am. Haha .. he's got this amazing voice.

mm.. now that i've finished vectoring franz ferdinand, i'm bored again.

Song To Say Goodbye

Listening to Going Gone by The Vines

Singapore Idol's finally over, 7 hectic days. It's been total fun, well, not total fun, but i did enjoy myself. Feels like ages, like it was years ago the first time I spent half my life travelling to pasir ris and back. But yeah, I've bonded more with my crew and also with the contestants. Gotten to know some of them better, and I met many of the ex-contestants, which was great. Didn't realise how happy i'd be to see them until I actually did. (:

Anyhoo, I'm thoroughly tired. Don't even think I have the heart to skate tmrw. Don't really feel like going back to Charlton that much, but I have responsibilities eh? Work's been piling up there and piling up in school. It's been what, 3 weeks since I've been in the newsroom for a full day? I miss that place dearly, and all the people that come with it. I can't wait to put everything on hold and go back.

I miss having a slack 9-5. Work's weighing me down, even Howard says tt i complain about work too much. HAHA .. I need to start getting paid. haha

Hockey Night

Listening to I'm Your Villain by Franz Ferdinand

I am fucking close to 10, 000 pageviews on DeviantART, which would mark my success as an artist. I guess, i'm still fucking small compared to some. But atleast I have some fans and that counts for something. So will those of u with DA accounts be a doll and visit my page daily? haha .. I know I've been stagnant on DA lately, been busy with work, but I think I'm pretty happy with how far I've come. (:

Hockey night was fun today, and then i had the most retarded convo with mavis:

MAVIS:
> tell you something totally unbelievable

ME:

MAVIS:

Me:

MAVIS:

SOME OF MY CREW

Xinying

Samuel

Andrew (my smoking buddy)

Chris

Something funny happened the other day when I went to MOS. See, we were all at Pasir Ris, and after the evening started winding down we (the crew) decided to buy back some good old mcdonalds and head back to our hotel room to eat. So we all crammed into the room which had 2 beds and 2 pull-out beds and we all crowded on the bed and started devouring out food.

Andrew and I were going to MOS tt night, so after we finished eating he said he was gonna go home to change. And I asked him for a lift, he lives on Grange Road and he was taking a cab so I asked him to drop me off near his place then I'll catch a bus. So we were in the cab, and Andrew starts going on about how he feels a bit sick from all the food. And I'm starting to feel really stuffed too. And then I say, 'I think I need to take a dump'. And he's like, 'yeah, me too'. And we spend an agonising 20 minutes in the cab whining about how urgently we need to shit.

HAHA .. Then he drops me off, and I wait for a fucking bus. And I think I never wanted to shit that badly, and finally the bus comes. And as relieved as I am, all the while I'm thinking about how I want to kill Andrew cause he's probably already home sitting on that toilet bowl and crying in joy while I'm sitting on the bus next to some smelly people shaking my legs and trying to control my bowels. And I swear to god, when the bus gets to my stop I RUN. I think I could've won an olympic at that speed.

AND OH SWEET LORD IT WAS THE MOST SATISFYING SHIT IN THE WORLD. IT WAS EUPHORIA.

hahaha .. Then I went to MOS later and met Andrew there and we both talked for 15 full minutes about how we both had the best shits in our lives. Amazing how two people can bond over shit. haha

Idols Again

Listening to From The Ritz To The Rubble by Arctic Monkeys

I am, without a doubt, the last person who would like The Click Five. Ok, so I admit, I have ONE of their songs in my playlist. But I still think they are sad little posers who think they're a rockband but are actually mainstream pop. But the truth is, The Click Five's frontman, Eric Dill, is FOT. He came over to TALK to me today, and I think I came. First of all, he was trying to read the words on my 'Hi, I'm Slug' shirt, and hence was staring somewhere in the vague area of my non-existent tits (and I think his stare melted them). And secondly, he came to TALK TO ME. OH DOOD. I almost raped him there and then. And to top it off, i got a photo with my hot little boys, both of which who were on either side of me put their arms around me. I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH THEM. hahahha .. goddamned sexy boys.

And on to the less interesting things in my colourful and fascinating life, went to MOS earlier, with the Trimedia people. I was actually there for my wristband more than anything else, but it was pretty cool seeing them. I feel like it's been years since i've been to the newsroom. I'm sick and tired of working..

Ashley

Listening to All The Way by Craig David


Yesterday I got home around 12 and I was really totally beat, been out for supper with Howard and Peter nearly everyday and we had a particularly filling meal last night. 4 of us, they ordered 5 dishes excluding a giant bowl of soup with fish and pork and a giant plate of hor fun and 4 plates of rice. Oh dude.. I was beyond sleepy. And guess what, I came home to my cousin!! haha .. I have no cousins on my dad's side, and only one from my mum's side in singapore, so you should be able to understand my excitement. I love my cousins to bits.

ANd he brought his wife and his baby!!! My first ever niece, her name is Ashley and she's 7 months old and the cutestmostadorablelittleballofjoyintheworld. OMFG, I want to keep her. She IS SOOO FUCKING CUTE. Her eyes are huge! omgomgomg.. I never thought I could love a kid that instantaneously. Every ounce of energy was returned to my being when I held her. She's so bloody cute, and she loves playing with me. She's got the cutest smile and the sweetest little giggle. my god. I'm gonna die of joy.

When September Ends

Listening to Cash Machine by Hard-Fi

Sigh, been going on slow-mo since the week crawled in, i'm dying for it to start speeding up since mid-week is tomorrow. September seems so far away, i was thinking back.. when we went to New York, when wednesday used to mean dressing up for ladies night with my girls. It all seems like a faded sketch. Now i'm down to the monotomy of 9-5. Worse still, i might even be in until 8 some days.. according to Mary-Ann. XB's got the easier job, but in terms of pay, he's getting more. haha .. But he deserves it anyway. Been a great help, Wenliang was quite impressed by his work on Mishire's website. (:

Anyhoo, i've just been officially called back for more work on Singapore Idol 2. This time it's 4 days, but i might not have to go down everyday anymore. And all the hot guys have gone. :( So boring man.. haha .. and my pay won't come in till maybe a month or so. I'm itching to start buying hockey gear.

I stepped on broken glass just now. WTF right, in my room. Dunno where the hell it came from, but it was a tiny piece.. and i think there's still a really small one stuck in my foot cause it's been irritating the fuck outta me and i can't seem to see anything under my foot. CHi. Howard came by for a smoke just now, I've been seeing Howard everyday la, but he's been a great help. Looks out for me and I've been learning a lot from him and meeting a lot of useful contacts through him as well. So i'm not compaining. (:

I can't wait for my dad to move out. I have a feeling he isn't going to, which pisses the fuck out of me. Bastard.

UPSIDE

Well there's always an upside to every sad story.. after the storm passed, I went skating with Jules, Ariel and Ron (btw Ariel is a pro skater) and then went for hockey training. We got trashed again, but i still had fun. I love hockey.. I only had two collisions today, the one with Peter was like full-on but somehow it wasn't bad, when I collided with Daniel it was like PHWOAR man.. I actually felt my ass go numb even through my padding. haha

So, the better news, Enion, who is only like the gallery director for vector art of deviantart, sent me a PERSONAL NOTE to tell me that he picked me to feature in April's Vector Art Mixed Bag. OMFG so fucking cool. I am beyond happy now. But i'm totally exhausted too.. I had a good nap in Peter's car just now. haha

The little downside is that if my parents actually - finally - go through with the divorce, it's gonna be havoc. And chances are, my dad will try and take everything, meaning that a large majority of the money that I'm earning now will go to my sister's education. Sweet right. HAHA .. so sad. I don't think i'll be able to afford hockey gear anymore..

Devil

Listening to Devil by Stereophonics

I haven't been scared for a long time. I was so scared just now, my knees were shaking, i literally burst out of my room and jumped down the stairs. My mum was screaming, i heard her shouting for me to come and help. The living room was littered with broken glass. I was so scared.. I had to tear them apart. Now it's over and there's this weird calm around.. I've been crying for ages. It's like when I was a kid, running to my room and hiding, except now I'm running out. It's like a fucking recurring nightmare.

He's insane okay? He really is, I hate coming home at night, seeing all the lights off and scared that something horrible happened. I hate running out of my room, terrified at what I might see. He's really capable of doing horrible things. Sometimes he goes totally mental and I'm really scared for her, scared for our fucking lives.

I hate living like this, it's really like walking on broken glass. I need to get out but I don't want to leave her here alone. I hate him, it's pure hate, I've never felt like this about anyone ever before. And I don't know what happened before I came into the room and stopped them, but i swear to god if I ever see him hit her I'll fucking kill him.

Emotional Rollercoaster

man.. i'm out of words. The past three days have gone by like this surreal piece of film over my eyes. I'm desperate for sleep.. I worked 19 hours, 23 hours and 12 hours respectively for the past three days. Been spending insanely on cab fare between Mediacorp and NP, and I really grew to love some of the contestants. Some of them, I really never thought would be eliminated.. I'm still in denial. My favourite guy got eliminated yesterday, I was in shock. Everyone loved him, I don't get it. And I know u guys wanna hear about it but I'm really sorry cause I'm not supposed to disclose any information / photos. So u'll have to wait for it on tv.

:) Anyhoo.. i've been 'promoted' to 'Senior Graphic Designer' for Mishire Group. HAHA .. sounds to glam right. LOL.. didn't even know about it until Wenliang told me they were already printing namecards for me. So freakay.. and XB we have jobs for u too. :) Righty.. I'm off to some good sleep, up early tmrw for more work. Yeesh.

SI2

Singapore Idol was .. phwoar man. I never believed that Singaporeans could sing like that. I was blown away, like literally glued to the spot cause of those amazing voices. Anyways, I shan't talk too much about it, I guess I'm not supposed to reveal anything.

As for my hours, they're a little crazy. I get up at 5 or 6am, get down to mediacorp, shoot until almost 12 noon, rush down to school for work, clock of work at 5pm, then rush down to mediacorp again and end work at 12am. Pretty cool huh. And the craziest thing is that on my night shift I have to go to PASIR RIS. OMG dude. It's on the other end of the world. Ah well, at least they're paying for my cab fare.

I was so totally beat today, today made history as the day where I spent the most money on cabs ever. Almost $30 went to cab fare, would've been more if Howard hadn't driven me down to mediacorp in the evening. I went down to his office for a little while to discuss some work he has for me, so yeh. But seriously was really fucking tired today la.. last night went to Perly's grandma's funeral again with Peter, Howard & Wenliang and ended up sleeping around 1+ and when I got up at 5am I wanted to gouge my eyeballs out. I was dragging myself around all day, when I got into the newsroom I actually collapsed onto the couch and took a nap. Fuck me.

Oh, and Gurmit Singh is hilarious. I didn't think he would be but he is, like seriously stand-up comedy kinda hilarious. I didn't even really know the people there but I was still laughing until I snorted water out of my nose. Right, and anyways, I discovered that i actually know one or two of the contestents. One of which shocked me when he told me that he didn't get eliminated. HAHA .. lots of hot hot hot people there. hehe ..

A Song To Say Goodbye

Listening to Cash Maching by Hard-Fi

Hockey training yesterday was really good. At first I went to meet Jules to skate and I felt as if I'd forgotten everything I learnt on Friday. And worse, Peter came down early to meet me for dinner and I was feeling pressured cause I was skating like shit. But when we went for training later I think it was okay, had more confidence in my skating so I dared to go in more, played defence and had my first collision. HAHA .. It was OK. I can't really remember who I collided with but it was cool, a good experience I guess.

And then even glammer, towards the end of our game - we were getting trashed - we started to get heavier on defence, so when the other team was attacking everyone would crowd around the goalpost and block. haha .. and I got hit in the ankle by Daniel's puck. WAH FUCK, it was like fantastically painful. I couldn't even move, and someone was telling me to get off the ice cause the game was still going and i couldn't fucking move. Ugh.. in the end had to limp off the ice. So fucking sad right.. but it's okay la.. ankle bruised and a bit swollen but I'm walking alright. yay!

Anyways, got a busy week coming up, I'm doing work for 3 different companies now, excluding Trimedia, and I'm still waiting for Charlton Media to contact me. Haven't had time to stop and relax in ages, well.. atleast I'll have some money coming in..

Yesterday

Yesterday was the longest day ever. hehe.. first off we went to work, more pulling out hair cause of the Trimedia website. Rett and I played an early april fool's day prank on XB, and XB got angry at us :(

After work went to meet Mavis & Poo at Jurong for dinner, man.. i feel like i haven't seen poo for years! We were talking about work and all the stupid things we do during our hours. hehe .. right, so after that poo headed home and Mavis & I went to meet the hockey guys to skate. AND IT WAS GREAT!

I AM SO HAPPY!!!

haha .. cause the session was so satisfying. Peter was teaching mavis & I and we learnt a lot. How to power-skate and brake and all that. I'm so happy! haha .. Can't wait for ice hockey tonight! Now all I need is to have training with handling the puck. Still haven't had much work on that.

After skating went for prata and then went to town to catch a midnight movie. And we had one hour to kill so we went to the arcade. It's been AGES since I've been to an arcade. ANd what else did we play? AIR HOCKEY. hahaha .. it was damn retarded. We played until we were all sweating. haha And we watched Ice Age 2.. which was funny at some parts but quite shitty on the overall. The ending was like SHIT. haha

Anyways, been pulling in quite a bit of freelance work outside of The Trimedia and possibly some under the name of the Trimedia. And I've seen Howard everyday this week. HAha .. I guess I'm practically working for him now, so, at least I'm happy. It's really weird how much I love working. Haha .. Please don't get me wrong, I always like to bitch about work but I secretly love it. Haha .. must act cool a bit la. LOL .. I don't know why, but I just like having something to do.

Dearly Beloved

Listening to You're So Damn Hot by Ok Go

I miss someone who I see one a week,
We must skate like men when we meet.

I miss someone who's gay, but I love.
Someone who isn't straight, but a curve.

I miss someone who's always horny,
Sometimes I see Roti John and miss her more.

I miss someone's who's always fun,
and has tits vast like the sun.

I don't miss one who thinks he's sexy,
the one whom I see daily.

It's something I can't describe in a word,
How I miss you all, dearly beloved.

For Charbee & Co, I love you guys. When am I seeing you next?

OK go!

I saw you sliding out the bar.
I saw you slipping out the back door, baby.
Don't even try and find a line this time, it's fine.
Darling, you're still divine.

You don't love me at all,
but don't think that it bothers me at all.
You're a bad-hearted trap, babydoll, but you're...
You're so damn hot.

Aren't you such a catch?
What a prize; Got a body like a battle
axe... Love that perfect frown, honest eyes...
We ought to buy you a Cadillac.

gotta love okgo.

Somewhere Only We Know

Listening to Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head by Gorillaz

I've pondered Death many times, I've watched Death before. Seen it come and the last moments of suffering before a sweet ease took over, and the world errupted around his lifeless body. I watched for awhile, it felt like I was far away when actually I was but a meter away. Felt the sorrow rise like a bile in my throat. Who chooses them? Who chooses who should stay and who should go? Is it a message in the wind?

I was walking out the other day, the sun was bright and I saw some kids playing catch, the world alive with joy. Isn't it unfair that somewhere else someone is dying?

It's been years since I met you, I've known him longer. I remember the day he told me, it was like in the books. How they say it feels like someone reaches through your torso and grabs your heart in a fist. They call it shock, the dramatic moment when time freezes and you drop whatever you were holding. What do you say to that? What could I say to him? I remember when I met you on Saturday, you've lost weight, gone paler than usual. You forgot him. I can't begin to image his pain, I wanted to give you both a hug each and promise that everything would work out but how could I?

I know what it's like losing someone, and I can't even start to think what i'll do for you when the time comes. What do I do for him when the time comes? It's like the clock is ticking and I'm powerless. There's an deep pain somewhere and I can't seem to get rid of it.

I hate not being able to stop your pain. I hate not being able to stop Death.
Stay with me, I can't do this.



When you, when you forget your name
When old faces all look the same
Meet me in the morning when you wake up
Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up
If only you don't bend and break
I'll meet you on the other side
I'll meet you in the light
I'll meet you in the morning when you wake

The Newsroom

Yesterday I did the draft design of the 'feature' wall in the Newsroom that I'm going to paint and guess what? I did the entire design in shades of orange when in fact the wall is green. Yeah. Glamourous right? So i have to redo the damned thing tonight.

And if u think that's stupid. U must hear what XB did today. First of all, he was finalising the name cards for The Trimedia and he overwrote the file that he spent a long and frustrating time on. THat's not so bad. WAIT. THEN, he started complaining,

XB: 'Do you have illustator?'
ME: 'Yes..'
XB: 'What about Flash, and Dreamweaver?'
Me: 'Yah, I have everything on this computer.'
XB: 'FUCK, I don't have anything on this computer... I don't even have Microsoft Office!'

So he calls the technician, Mr. Yap, and Mr. Yap says that it will take a few days for him to install everything because according to XB, 'there is nothing on the computer'. So XB unplugs his eMac, makes me undo all the neat and tidy wiring that I did last week and CARRIES the giant eMac down to the technician's office.

15 Minutes later Mr. Yap comes back. With the eMac.

ME: 'XB, what happened? Why did he bring it up again?'
XB: 'Oh because actually all the software is already inside, i just didn't know where to find it.'


... words fail me.

W550i

Listening to Song To Say Goodbye by Placebo


YES. I HAVE RECIEVED MY BRAND NEW SONY ERICSSON WALKMAN PHONE AND IT IS UBER-GLAM.

First of all, before you all start calling my an ungrateful brat who loses her phone and gets a new one within 3 days, I just want to set the record straight. I paid for the phone myself with a chunk off my savings. Righto. So, after the initial denial and eventual acceptance that I had lost my pretty pretty Motorola V3, I decided to be positive and start phone shopping.

Being the lazy bastard that I am, I bought everything online. Had M1 deliver my renewed 3G sim card to my door and Starhub deliver the phone to my door too. HAHA .. yeh, that's how lazy I am. And the phone is FANTASTIC.

I have 256 megs of space for plenty plenty songs and THREE frickin speakers and the phone also came with in-earphones. HEHE. AND THE BEST PART: It came with 3D games, one of which is one of my favourite games of all time, WORMS. HAHA .. omg i'm so frickin hooked. Within 2 days i've hit level 6. And I was playing a spectacularly exciting game and was down to one worm per side, mine LIFE: 02, computer LIFE: 08. OMG SO EXCITING RIGHT.

And then my phone ran out of batt and cut the game off.

FUCK.

Fashionably Loud

Listening to Champagne Supernova by Oasis



Okay, I wasn't that excited about Fashionably Loud except for the fact that Placebo would be playing. And honestly, I didn't even decide to go until yesterday. And it turns out the TriMedia had 31 tickets. So being a kind soul, I brought Jules and Ariel. The show was damn good and the models were orgasmically hot. Sashi's friend was one of the models. Weird. Anyways, while me and jules were vibrating to Placebo and cumming waterfalls from all the hot male models, this DAMN FUCKING SMELLY CHI next to us was MOSHING. OMg dude. Placebo isn't exactly hardcore rock. They are more along the lines of Coldplay or something. ANd he was MOSHING with his CHI-SMELLY-ARMPITS in our faces. It was so gross, and he was jumping around really violently and using Jules as a sponge to wipe his sweat on. I kept catching the Security-Boucer guy's eye and finally he tapped the guy's shoulder and was like, Dude, RELAX la. then he started laughing. Me and Joo just burst out laughing.

I feel really sorry for his girlfriend because he smelt like dog shit covered in moss. Anyhoo.. after the show, we walked out to 7-11 and bought some drinks. And we were standing around in the middle of nowhere, kinda near the fountain at Taka, and the MODELS started coming out of the frickin tent. Jules and I came in WATERFALLS.

If male models like that grew on trees I would sell my soul in exchange for that tree. We were just openly goggling at them and then one of them walked past us like within a foot of us and jules just squealed like a pig. THen the glammest thing happened.

PLACEBO FUCKING WALKED THROUGH US. THROUGH US. AS IN AROUND US AND BETWEEN US AND ALL.

ANd jules the dumbfuck didn't even know until after they passed us. Me and Ariel saw them walking towards us and we just stared in shock and Jules was happily yacking away about her chi. Oh dood that was the hottest thing in my life. I was inches away from Placebo. omg..

THe only thing that beats this is touching Alex Kapranos (HAHA JULES.)
