Listening to I'll Let You Live by Taking Back Sunday

I decided that it's been really long since I've last blogged.. and I have nothing left to say to my boring old blog. So instead of thinking of what to say, I ran around my house taking random pictures to share with you guys..



My pretty new phone.



Okay, this (green) album totally rocks, it's a compilation of retro hits.
And it sits next to Rockbell's box and Lithium Gritty.



More on my shelf, Pink Sneak, Lithium Spiky Baby,
my 'Hocker' and a packet of ketchup.
And my $3 CHINON camera in the back.



I absolutely love this, my candy machine full of aliens.
Bought this in Hong Kong in March.



The next best thing to my bike: The keys to my bike.



This is where all my clutter goes.



Just pasted up postcards on my whiteboard.
And put up my collection of supercool Coke cans.



A bedsheet to match my tastefully designed room.



Best book in my room, 'Position Of The Day Playbook'
Bought in Boston last September.



And that's the position of the day on my birthday.



This was my foot one week after i got hit by Bronson's slapshot.



This is my foot after hockey practice last night,
I feel like I should get it amputated or something.
After all, i could always get a new leg at Thieve's Market.



This is Monty, who I think is starting to look
more and more like a dog.



This is the Hersheys: Senior Mum.



This is Mars, a typical example of a fat, smelly, unkempt,
50-year-old man who sits on his couch everyday with a Bud
wondering why he had to have 30 kids at one go.



This is Mini, the first generation daughter and Junior Mum.



This is Micro, the 2nd Generation daughter.



This is Micro when she got scared by my camera shutter.



And this is the lovely 3rd Generation baby.


And his/her siblings.


And that's all for today! I'm off to a chalet with Charbee & Co for the next 3 days, so I hope these pictures will keep u guys entertained until then!

Malaysia

Listening to This Old Heart Of Mine by The Isley Brothers

Ian and I were just having a hilarious discussion about the fact that I'm Malaysian. Anyways, as a disclaimer, whatever was said in the conversation is and was meant in jest and not to offend anyone.

Attica

Listening to Still Breathing by Duran Duran

What is it about clubbing that is so great? I mean, you always see scenes on tv or in movies from a club, and there's something that's just so exciting about it. Like some mystery, an intimate need to jump in and let loose and a lack of involvement with the people who you let in closer that your usual comfort level. I felt that tonight, the lights and the music just throw you in and make you want to give it all you've got.

And there's something fantastic about gay clubbing. You can totally let loose and not care about who's gonna take advantage of you or judge you. I love gay men. It's different, it's exciting. The fact that there's a whole floor packed with men and you can dance your heart out. You can smile and chat and dance with any one of them and not worry about involvement. And of course there's Andrew and Daniel, my favourite dance partners, who i love very dearly. (:

It was a kick-ass night. And now, here's an OPEN INVITATION to Zouk this wednesday for Mambo night, it's gonna be a top night. Be there!

From Hong Kong with Love

Listening to Let it Whip by Dazz Band

Hong Kong was fantastic, here are the memorable moments:

1. Water from some awning dripped and so happened to land on Pra's tits.
   
2. Stephanie walked into a shop, walked past the sales woman and said: "hey weiming! there's no one here, lets just take whatever we want."
   
3. A sales woman called Weiming fat.
   
4. Weiming walked into a shopping mall and thought the weather was nice.
5. Weiming sucked on a spoon because he thought it was his straw.

Announcement to All

Listening to Smiley Faces by Gnarls Barkley

Hey hey hey, just wanted to let everyone know that I've stopped working for MediaCorp, temporarily or not. I'll tell you all the juicy details the next time I see you, but if you do know why, please don't go spreading it around, I'd rather people hear it from me than from someone else. :)

Anyhoo, it's not bad la, and I'm very relieved to not be working there anymore. And it's definitely NOT scandalous. hahaha

Mr. A-Z

Listening to Dirty Diana by Michael Jackson

Ok, so i totally ripped this off Pranhie's Blog.

A: If you were an ANIMAL, what would you be?
A wolf. I'd be a pack animal. And lets face it, wolves are just damn cool. Or maybe a snow leopard.

B: BOOKS: Whats on your reading list?
Thirty-Nothing for now. One of those books that make you go 'aaaahh.. life is beautiful'. HAha .. but my best read so far is Phillip Pullman's Dark Materials Trilogy.

C: COMPULSIVE about anything?
Food. I.am.always.hungry. and I buy things on impulse.

D: DREAMS do you dream in color? Do you remember your dreams?
Dunno, but i do remember them. They're either piss-on-yourself scary or just plain random.

E: EATING whats your usual snack?
Mars Bars, Crabmeat & Jell-o. Weird right.

F: A few of your FAVORITE things ..
All animals, my friends, my phone and my music. I would die without my playlist.

G: GIGGLES! Who (or what) makes you laugh? Do you have a good sense of humor?
I've got one, but i just can't find it..

H: major HOT button:
Hmm.. I absolutely hate waiting for the bus.

I: I am ..
lazy. Totally mafucking lazy.

J: JOB whats your dream job?
Weirdly, it would be to be a hollywood celebrity. What more could you want? To probably be the sex symbol of at least a million people around the world. Have so much money that you could wipe your ass with it, adoring fans, a huge mansion, 50 cars and your name on every single guest list in town. PLUS, you get to go with some gorgeous, hot partner hanging off your arm.

K: Also KNOWN as: Aliases? Screen names? Nicknames?
Screen name: I’ve been known as Jaded inc. for like forever.
Nicknames: Usual suspects, ade, adel.. the works. Although my sister calls me buckweed.

L: I LOVE .. People. I love having people around me.

M: How do you feel about MEETING people? Do it all the time, or rarely? Parties or one-on-one?
As much as I love people, I'm not a people person. I'm usually the quiet one sitting in the corner listening in and observing people, it takes time before I warm up to people. Definitely parties, i'm not very comfortable with one-on-one encounters unless I've known the person for awhile.

N: Whats the story of your NAME? Were you named after anyone?
Nothing really. My siblings had 3 syllable names and so i got one too.

O: OBSERVANT .. Whats around you right now? What do you see?
I'm the most unobservant person around. I could spend a whole day with someone and not notice what they were wearing. haha

P: Who are the special PEOPLE in your life?
My best friend, my sister, my mum. And well, everyone that I know and love.

Q: Any little QUIRKS about yourself?
Yeah, I can have a short attention span. And sometimes I go out and feel really tired but the moment i get home i feel wide awake. haha

R: What do you like to do for RECREATION?
I draw and do design work.. play ice hockey. Hang out with my dearest friends by the pool or something.

S: Do you SING in the shower? In the car? For your friends?
Not in the shower, definitely in the car.

T: Whats at the top of your TO-DO list?
Finding a boyfriend! haha .. I've done everything on the list I made at the start of the year and now I'm getting bored of the single life.

U: Any UNUSUAL experiences?
Not that I would tell you.. :p

V: VEGAS, Vienna, Venice .. How far have you traveled? Whats your favorite city?
Far. Lets go from near to far, there's Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Australia, England, Paris, Boston and New York. I liked New York the best.

W: WINTER, spring, summer, fall .. whats your favorite season? What makes it special?
Summer. Summer's when all my friends come back, when everyone's on holiday and life just becomes one great party. And as tempting as snow sounds, I think I'd still prefer the sun, the sand and the sea anytime. hehe

X: EXes .. things you dont do anymore (but did, once)...
Hmm.. I used to drive underage, which I have thankfully given up. I used to smoke a pack of day, which I don't anymore. I used to be unglam, but I'm very glam now. HAHAHA

Y: Any secret deep YEARNINGS?
Yeah, there's a guy I kinda like.

Z: ZERO to ZENITH - Where are you in your life? Still growing? On an upward (or downward) curve? Just skating along?
Haha ..I'm gliding along.

Gritty

Listening to The District Sleeps Alone Tonight by Postal Service

I seriously think I'm going through a pink phase. Lithium Creatives has pink, the latest HYPE's got pink and I just made a pink paper sneaker (which can be found at my website under 'work'). I'm going crazy.

Mambo. Again.

Listening to All For Love by Color Me Bad

I just had the best night ever! I went clubbing @ Zouk: Mambo night with Steph and Andrew and it was fuckin awesome. We had an entire tray of shots, and 4 or 5 jugs of vodka redbull. And we just danced the night away. And then Mark and Aloy came with a bunch of their friends, and they're so much fun to club with! haha .. they were all quite drunk, but it was cool anyway. Can't wait for mambo next week. haha

Oh, and i wonder who will get eliminated tomorrow night. HAHAH :P

LITHIUM

Listening to Together Forever by Rick Astley

Well, i've rebranded once again. I got really tired of Subterfuge Ink. Not only was it a name that was hard to remember, but i was starting to feel that the colours were too dark. Too boring, not to mention that the entire site took years to load.

So, I wanted to make something simple, easy to navigate and extremely quick to load. And Lithium was born. Well, I've taken down a lot of things, and i'm only keeping up a small selection of pieces for display. Will be updating this more frequently than before.

Oh, and anyone and everyone is invited to Zouk tomorrow for mambo night. I haven't gone for 2 weeks and i'm already itching to get my groove back. HAHA .. yes, and if you're lucky enough to find me at the right time, then i'll treat u to some shots (while stocks last). (:

Paper Army

Listening to Beautiful Mistake by Rafe

HYPE IS OUT!

And what have I been doing with my free time? Well, I'm planning to build a paper army. See, Pam is the glammest person alive, because she sent out links to these 3 websites that she wanted to share. And one happened to be that off Shin Tanaka. And Shin's a prodigical japanese boy. Well, he's not a boy, he's probably around 20ish.. but still, talented as hell. And I was instantly hooked.

So, I e-mailed him, told him I was interested in making some 'Gritty's and sent him a link to my deviant art. And within a day we had already agreed to do a collaboration. So here comes the Lithium Gritty. I spent most of yesterday designing two of my very own Gritty-s and then chugged them back to him. So now he's preparing the template for them to be built up, and he will soon be displaying my Gritty along with the rest of his collection. Sweet ey.

What's the Hype?

HYPE IS KILLING ME.

one little brain cell at a time.

I've been in the newsroom from monday to today, that's 3 days. I miss sleeping in my bed. I miss food that isn't delivered from McDonalds. I miss my dog. I hate sleeping at 5am on the floor and getting up at 8.

It's been quite frankly, hell, the past few days. Hype is still not out yet. We're all pulling our hair out and more than ready to start snapping at each other. But there have been high points. We have beer. HAHA .. and there's tonnes of freedom to smoke around here in the middle of the night. THey've been replacing the railings around the block so we get to sit by the edge and stare into the space below us, telling stupid ghost stories.

We've all been plotting a huge mass suicide party.

Chariot

Listening to Chariot by Gavin Degraw

Man.. I haven't blogged in ages. I've been really busy, what with Hype going offstone (which still hasn't happened by the way). This week has been crazy, sleeping late and waking up at ungodly hours. Wed and thurs was Singapore Idol, and I was editting photos through the wee hours of the morning, and friday i got to see charbee & co! We went to baybeats. It was okay la.. but it was super-duper-cool seeing them all again. And then I had to wake up fricken early on sat morning for my bike theory test - which i passed. Yay!

Anyhoo, hockey was damn stressful yesterday. haha .. I played for line 1. And playing with Daniel and Bronson is mafucking stressful cause they're both so pro and i'm still playing like shit. LOL.. I had like 3725634235245 shots at the goal and I only scored once. Haha .. quite sad.

One

Listening to One Blood by Terence Jay

In the far away fires
Where the hills forever burn
At the feet of our heroes
We try hard to learn
But the lesson is lost there
In the smoke and the mud
That we are one flesh, one breath, one life, one blood

I stood by the river
That ran red with shame
I stood in the killing fields
Where death had no name
I stood with my brothers
And away it flood
And we where one flesh, one breath, one life, one blood

Then I fell to the ground
Tasted ashes on my tongue
Thinking that only the dead
Are forever young

There was peace in the twilight
And for a moment among
It was a world without danger
A world without war
And I will take all your suffering
It will do any good
Cause we are one flesh, one breath, one life, one blood

- Terence Jay (Football Hooligans.. that move made me cry)

Domino

Listening to You Could Have It So Much Better by Franz Ferdinand

Orite, i think I wrote my last entry when i was kinda drunk, and I feel kinda stupid now. But I'll stand by what I said, I love Andrew. I would marry him if I could. Hehe .. I'm officially halfway through my bike lessons! hehe .. now if mediacorp would just fucking pay me then i'd be on my way.

I just watched Domino, which is by far one of the best movies ever. The cinematography was just fucking amazing, and the plot was fantastic. Keira Knightly was so gorgeous that I was willing to turn lesbian throughout the course of the show. It's one of those movies that just blows you away and leaves you hanging off the edge of your couch. It's one of those movies with a whole lot of violence and course language except that this one actually had a good plot and a great lead actress. It's a fucking rollercoaster.

Now I just wanna tattoo myself up and have sex with a hot, rugged man in the middle of the desert. By the way, Keira Knightly reveals her tits in the movie. For those of you who are interested. heheehe .. she's got mosquito bites but she's still mafucking hot, just like me. HAHA

Anyhoo, I feel like I'm in some weird dimension, I haven't seen charbee and co in years.. Mavis has become a mat-rocker and jules has become a clubbing whore. Wtf. I'm so weirded out. HAHA .. I've been hanging out with Steph and Gerald and Lionel nearly everyday now (btw, Gerald is my future husband) .. I've got so little money that I'm struggling to pay for ice time and I've got enough left in my account for ONE more bike lesson. I want to buy a fucking helmet because the ones at the school are so mahfucking smelly.

U know ever since I started taking driving/riding lessons, I've been so paranoid about traffic after all the horror stories they tell us. And even though I still jay walk and shit, I'm much more careful. And today, right after my bike lesson, I had just crossed the road when this smelly school kid went running across the road and almost got hit by a bus. Not just one bus, but two busses. Both had to E-brake and the guy in the car behind the busses wound down his window and started shouting at the kid. He was wearing some white uniform and looked like he was 14. And the stupid cocky bastard just stood at the side of the road and laughed to his friend, who was still on the other side of the road.

His friend, who i think had atleast an ounce of brains had stayed there and was totally freaked by the scene he had just witnessed. So he waited for the traffic to move on and when the road was clear he ran across and started telling the first kid off.

Stupid: HAHAHAH DID U SEE THAT?
Smart: Yes, that was so stupid, are you crazy?
Stupid: It was so funny! was is like, damn close?
Smart: YES! The bus was so near to you! I thought it was really going to hit you!
Stupid: HAHAAH .. That's so funny!
Smart: No it's not, you could've gotten killed!
Stupid: Don't worry, It's not just one time la, this is like, the 6th time i've done this.
Smart: Wahlao, you're crazy la. (still looking very worried and traumatised)
Stupid: Relax la, it was so funny! (starting to look a bit annoyed)
Smart: One day you may not be so lucky.
Stupid: (Now looking fully put-out) Why are you freaking out, I'm still alive what.

Ohmygod. Singaporean kids really have no brains.

Andy

I love Andrew. If Andrew was straight i'd marry him.

As you can see, someone came by us at Zouk and said, "Oh my god, you three are so unbelievably beautiful!" so he took our photo and put us in mumtazz.com

Ah. Don't we look pretty. Anyways. I'm going to be particularly emo right now because

I AM MAFUCKING PISSED.

I am sorry but my little shithead of a father is being a total bitch. He has to do everything his own bloody way. It's days like this when I really feel like I'm being driven out of my own fucking house.

He doesn't give me money and i've never wanted his money. I've studied and worked hard to make my own money, and i might even say that i'm doing shockingly well for a 19-year-old, but is that good enough for him? NO. That motherfucker is just never satisfied by anything. He is always talking about fucking money. If i EVER ask him for money he's all like, don't u have your own fucking money? And if I ever tell him that i'm actually making good money he'll be like, then why are you being so ungrateful, you should be giving money back to me, after all I bought the roof you live under.

He's all about fucking money. I am fucking sick of the way he treats me like a dog. He expects me to carry his shit and then he expects me to treat him like a real father? Well, he can just go blow himself because he will never be a father to me. Never.

Went to Zouk clubbing yesterday with Steph and Andrew and his friends. It was so much fun. Haha .. Like i always don't like clubbing but usually once i get there i tend to enjoy myself. And last night was no exception. Andrew is so much fun, i love him so much! hahahaha .. so anyways. We majorly over-ordered. It was happy hour and we kinda went crazy. So, we ended up with 4 jugs and 26 shots for just 3 of us. Oh dood. It was fucking hilarious. We had about 8-9 shots each and a jug apiece, and then we had to get people to finish off the last jug. It was so hilarious. We spent most of the time learning each other's dance moves.

AND THEY ARE NO ORDINARY DANCE MOVES. You should see us in action.

Steph and her Dior

Andrew with Steph's Dior

Yeh, we finished all 26 shots.

Andrew posing with our shots and jugs.

And since we are such pretty people, the paparazzi came to shoot us and put us in mumtazz.com

Err.. steph and i got bored.

Listening to Life is Wonderful by Jason Mraz

Oh dood, i'm in love with Jason Mraz. I got so hooked on Geek in Pink that I bought his album. Which i've had on loop all day. Hehe.. Anyhoo.. life in the Newsroom has been pretty haywire.. there's been a fuckload of last minute projects. But it seems NIKE is interested in advertising with us, and buying our fashion spread. Which means sponsored clothes! woo. haha .. exciting. Anyhoo.. this week's so jam packed.. I've been going out every night. Went to JB last night, it was so funny cause Lionel was freaking out about getting robbed or raped in JB, which was ironic since we there were 7 of us, and 5 of which are guys. And we ate so much! Just went there and got cigarettes, beer and food.

Hehe .. anyhoo, going to zouk tonight and i've got idol on tmrw.. I think the winners are pretty clear-cut this time round as well. Hope it won't be as draggy as last week, cause the studio happens to be mafucking cold. And sometimes there aren't enough chairs so I have to sit on the bloody floor in front of the stage. Yerr.. ah well. But as much as i whine about it I still miss mediacorp. I was so happy to be back there last week. haha .. Got to have dinner with Juan and I got to see Andrew and Chris and the rest of the crew again! And i got to see Freddy too! And of course the idols, i have developed this weird protectiveness over a lot of them. hehe .. right.

Hope u guys like the pictures. haha

Fishbowl Insomnia

Listening to Dani California by Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Woar.. This week is progressing very, very slowly. Singapore Business Review finally went to print! I'm ecstatic. No more lunch that costs up to $10 everyday, no more climbing 3 flights of stairs everyday, no more having 30-year-old white men staring at u everyday. But then again, I will miss seeing jules everyday, even though her stupid whining about her broken heart irritated me. And I will miss Liy's weird antics, and Hajar talking about white men, and Kyle with his lovely sexy voice, and Pam and her 'wahrao!'.

HAHA. AYe.. so, i haven't blogged in awhile. Let me update u guys.

LAST WEEK I SCORED!

And this time it wasn't some rebound lucky shot, this time, it was planned and it was beautiful. hahahhaha .. i feel so fucking good. Ok, and i know u guys are gonna be like 'so what?' but the truth is that i'm a fucking tiny little junior player. There are 8 year old kids who play ice hockey better than me. And I still have a fucking long way to go. So, having said that, it is a big deal.

Yes. So. Moving on. On Sunday we went up to JB, i went with K2, and Daniel rode his bike in with Mun Jun, and Peter met us there. We went to see Howard and in the end we didn't even get to see him. So glam right. BUT, we did eat. And eat. And Eat. AND, I got to ride Daniel's bike! SO FUCKING FUN! See, last sat after hockey Mavis rode Arron's bike (in her sexay FBT shorts), and she said it was damn fun. And I have never been on a bike before. So, i decided to try, and JB is a great place for ur first time on a bike isn't it? HAHAHA .. yeah, it was damn exciting, a bit scary, but exciting. And Daniel drives really fast but he's steady so it was quite cool.

YARR. Anyhoo, David (Harry Potter) is leaving this coming monday, which is like, FWOAR DAMN FAST. So i think I should spend as much time as i can with him. And Steph is coming back on Friday! Yeah, now i finally have a girlfriend to hang out with. I realised that I only have 3 girls who are constant in my life now, Jules, Mavis and Pra. My two other favourite girls are overseas. So. It's quite scary. All my friends are boys. BOYS. And i am still single. How is that even possible?

I feel sad.

Lithium Creatives

Listening to If I Were You by Hoobastank

Got some new stuff that I spent a few hours on last night. I'm gonna re-brand Jaded inc / Subterfuge Ink. Gonna re-do the website as well.. I did 3 namecards, for my personal freelance work and stuff. Comments are welcome.

The bigger picture can be found [HERE]

This one's my main design. I'm probably gonna use this for my first set of namecards. The bird is my official logo.. It was inspired by Freddy, the chicken. haha .. I love Freddy, you see. Anyways, I finally managed to use illustrator properly. Learnt how to do proper vectors, instead of cheating and doing them freehand with my tablet. So.. everything is a lot cleaner, if you want to see the details, look below:

The bigger picture can be found [HERE]

This is the skeleton of the vectors.. basically just highlighted everything and grouped them together so that u can see all the points of the vector. Some good, hard work. But it was fun. Especially since it's been so long since I've gotten time out to do stuff for leisure.

The bigger picture can be found [HERE]

And this, is the other two sets of namecards that I did, Version 2 and Version 3, just some ideas that ran by my head after I did the logo. Very simple and clean. These will be my back-up namecards. When i have money I'll print a few sets. (:

We were meant to live

Listening to Geek in Pink by Jason Mraz



Watched the Da Vinci Code just now.. it was kinda disappointing man.. the book was so much better. Like two fucking thousand times better. I mean.. it's a tough story to put into a movie.. there's too much info. So in the end it gets really draggy with a lot of talking. And they didn't even reveal that her brother was still alive. Fucktofu.

Ooh.. the best part! My skates arrived today!! woo! so exciting.. went to skate just now, before the movie with david, peter, k2 and k2's friend.. was alright, i fell down loads of times.. getting used to the skates and learning new ways to brake. Haha .. but it's okay, i'm a happy girl. hehe .. David was fucking crazy, he was using the rental skates, which are like, really shitty figure skates. And he took those cones, not the small ones, the big ones that go up to waist level, and he fucking jumped them. On the ice. On shitty skates.

fuck. what does hanging out with david teach me?

.. Always carry a camera with you.

What if you should decide..

Listening to Square One by Coldplay

I just watched Elizabethtown. It was really good, made me all depressed because I wish I had what they had. It was the sweetest thing ever.. I want a boy - whine - I'm know I said I was too busy for a guy, but I'm starting to get bored of it. I wanna love someone who loves me back. I miss what I used to have. Sigh.. think I'm just gonna be emo and mope around for awhile, listening to Coldplay.

Elections

Listening to What To Do by Ok Go

I realised that the intro to 'You're The Reason I'm Leaving' by Franz Ferdinand sounds exactly like the intro to 'Do What You Want' by OkGo.

I am so observant.

Okay, I want to rant and rave. First of all, why the fuck is everyone talking about the bloody elections? We are fucking teenagers, in the throes of our last year of youth, and there we are, tired at 8pm, standing outside Ralph Lauren, so stoned that we started to salivate while one of our party talked for a full 5 minutes about politics (let me give u a hint, she has big tits). WHAT. THE. FUCK. Ok. Please, if you have some crap that you feel strongly about the PAP or whatnot, keep it to yourself. I still have 2 full years before I have the ability to vote, and for now, I would like to remain in blissful ignorance.

Now that that's out of the way, I shall rant about my second topic.

Fine Dining

See. I can not in all of my highly developed level of intelligence and my sharp intuitiveness, grasp why people would pay several hundreds of dollars on one meal. Let me first point out that with several hundred dollars, I can furnish my entire hockey gear set. Or, I could pre-order the latest Nike Bauer skates which weigh a freakish weight of 450 grams.

But yes, why the hell would anyone pay that much for ONE meal, I say. And THIS IS NO ORDINARY MEAL. You see, people make a reservation a month in advance, spend a lot of time 'dressing up' in what appears to be the most stiff and uncomfortable clothes in their wardrobes, put on 8 inches of make up and throw on they're most painful set of high heels that they can find, and go to a restaurant with an atmosphere to match their clothes. Basically, the whole place looks great, but it has got to be the most stressful and unomfortable environment ever.

You sit in a chair, keep your back straight, and try not to make any unnecessary sounds, otherwise the scary white man in the next table will glare at you. Next, u order a set meal, choose a 6 course, 8 course or 10 course, in which the prices doubles respectively. And then you wait, have some polite conversation, all the while keeping your voice down so that everyone in the restaurant is happy while everyone at your table is hunched over trying to hear you.

AND THEN, THE FOOD COMES.

My first thought was. What the fuck is that?

It comes on this huge-ass plate, with some great little sauce sprinkled tastefully around a piece of food that is not only unrecgonisable, but also barely visible. Why would anyone pay that much to have food that can be consumed in one bite? Why not get some mini oreos instead? And then you slowly progress through 6 courses of microscopic food while your entire attention is focused on not splattering any sauce on the table cloth which was probably bleached 7 times to make it so white that your eyes go out of focus when you stare at it.

And then the best part comes, you finish your meal, feeling slightly giddy from the immense stress and the amount of energy you put into picking up a tiny piece of food without making any noise, and the kind waiter sweeps over with your bill. And you pick it up and check the bottom line, and u realised that it's 3 digits, and if you doubled it, it would be 4 digits. You pay the waiter, tip him an amount that he doesn't deserve, and leave.

When you get to the carpark, you can breathe again. Why, I ask you, why, would anyone put themselves through that? I would much rather buy my hockey gear and spend the change on hawker food.

Ebay Addict

Listening to Crumbs From Your Table by U2

WE WON MALAYSIA! WINTERFLAMES VS. MALAYSIA 5-0, TOTALLY AND UBERLY SWEET.

hahahahaha .. so glam. Man.. I wish I was in KL watching the tournament. So fucking jealous, but Winterflames lost to UAE, who we're supposed to be better than. fuckey..

I am very sick of my website, first of all, i think I did a lousy job on the technical side, and secondly, it looks boring. I am fucking hooked on shopping for hockey gear, i've never splurged this much in such a short period of time. And the best part is that I haven't even been paid yet, so it's quite fantastic how smart I am.

But nevermind, because I got most of the things I wanted.. all that I'm missing is my stick, which David can't seem to find in Canada. Damn, ey. Oh, and I want hockey pants.. but that's not urgent. The fucker who I won the Dallas Stars Jersey from refuses to reply my e-mail requesting for the shipping charges, meaning that I most likely won't get the jersey. And there are NO OTHERS in my size on ebay. FUCK CHEEBYE. I'm officially pissed. Tomorrow I am waking up fucking early to bid on a Detroit Red Wings jersey, I don't care. I want it now.

PAH. I can't stop shopping. Well, actually, i've bought surprisingly little considering the amount of time I spend shopping online.. only bought three things on ebay and 2 of the 3 are from the same seller so the shipping costs less. Gahh.. I've cut down on one addiction and moved on to another.

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:

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.
