[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:

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.
