Music-mesh featuring Matenrou Opera

Reality kicks in

Thursday, May 30, 2013

It starts to hurt. Makes you think what were you here for. I tell people im alright, its fine, i can bear with it...heck i even encouraged a friend with my optimism. Won't it be nice if i can follow my advice. Heck, wont it be awesome if i go to bed now and wake up with my problems solved.

Yeah right.

My weakness, my procrastination

Monday, May 20, 2013

Sometimes in life, you will be sure to do the things that you aren't comfortable with. I have no idea that this would come so soon after one another. Perhaps this is one way of telling me i should have more confidence in myself.

Spring after winter

Tuesday, May 14, 2013

It is always a welcoming sign to see the sun after a long winter. Looks like there is still sometime before my spring comes.

Boring post

Wednesday, August 22, 2012

As I have always thought of, I wish time would forward itself 10 years into the future.

10 years ago, I wondered how life would be when I hit the 20s. Few surprises, good and bad experiences along the way and not exactly what I had in mind. One thing that hasn't change much is the frequency of me reflecting on Life thus far and spending lots of me-time talking to myself .-dry laugh-
I hope my next 10 years will be more exciting than the last. So here's to me on taking the next big step.

"Oh what have you done to me"

Sunday, August 12, 2012

Crying isn't really something one will do when reading this type of book, but I did. Reminded me of the things we did. I'm comforted about the fact things are turning out this way, for you at least. This is probably the best decision I've ever made in my whole entire life thus far.

Time to move on, folks.

Olympics Games?

Thursday, August 2, 2012

It is a shame that the Games has now devolved into a status of country superiority and in some cases, chance of getting millions of dollars. I have never really believe about the saying that the Games is to promote sports spirit. Or whatever. Anyway.

And I think countries shouldn't use other nationalities to represent themselves. It is still better to win 0 medals than 10 medals but all those who won are not locals. Not that I am vehemently against who won the first bronze medal for the table tennis, but I just don't feel the pride. Thanks for your effort by the way.

Another day on the Illustrator

Sunday, June 17, 2012

A newbie on Illustrator and there is still lots to learn...like how the gradient in Illustrator is different from Photoshop, and you don't have to work with a ton of layers in Illustrator.

Time to conquer the Pen Tool!

Finally, a new wallpaper!

Saturday, June 16, 2012

After years of my "design" inactivity, I finally decided to fiddle around with PS and got this. Took me days to get this look (the killer is the K letter and the vector. The mag scan took out the upper part of K and also had to erase the white background of the swirl vector to use it). I'm still not digging the brown swirl beneath the border layer though...hmmm maybe I should change it...

New computer!

Friday, June 1, 2012

Well, not mine anyway. It's nice to look at the new hardware, swoon over how fast it operates and the BIG-ASS hdd space that this computer has. I'm not a geek (far from it), but hey, no one can resist a new computer, especially if she uses a 3 year-old laptop (ok so 3 years is not THAT old).

Things will be much more perfect if we got new speakers to go along with the computer too.

Such a shame there are no good games here to put the new graphic card to the test though.

Another day today

Tuesday, May 22, 2012

You know there is really nothing for you to do when you have finished reading 9gag, prowling the entire YAHOO news site and read all the updates from your FB friends.

And here you are, opening a Notepad and typing all nonsense stuffs, because you actually like the noise made by typing on the keyboard. WTF.

Time flies past by

Thursday, May 10, 2012

You know you are old when people your age are getting married / proposed to...or better...already had a 6 months old baby.

Laughter is the best medicine

Saturday, May 5, 2012

Or should I say, Gabriel Iglesias. He cured me of my more severe cramp pains just by telling a few jokes. Damn...I'm tearing up...

L'Arc~En~Ciel

Saturday, April 28, 2012

L'Arc should be in the middle of concert right now, with fans enjoying every moment.

I shall have my very own tribute by listening to my favourite hits from them, privately and comfortably.

A Date in Singapore

SINGAPORE: A date will set you back $137.66

Delivery of a dozen roses: $79.27
2 movie tickets: $15.24
Cab ride (3 km): $4.84

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/here-s-what-a-cheap-date-costs-around-the-world.html

The awkward moment when I will gladly trade the dozen of roses for dinner. No wonder I have so much extra flab. :pokerface:

In any case, the price for two movie tickets is bullshit. Unless one is offered a student price and the couple watch during weekdays before 5pm...so technically, it's more than $137.66. And no one takes cab to a date that is 3 km away. If they do, either the girl is a self-perceived princess dating a poor guy, or the guy is trying to give his date the impression that he is rich (when he is not).

12:50 AM

Look at'cho now!

I have too much nutrition and is blessed with extra flab on every inch of my body.

When most of the girls are trying hard to shave off that flab, I'm still thinking if I should do it. I want to make it stick but being a Libra (they are lazy and like sweet stuffs),I doubt that can happen, Time to find another motivation to keep the extra pounds from adding.

I'm staring at my half cup of 7-up as I type. Hohohoho.

12:21 AM

Tero!

Sunday, April 15, 2012

It is so strange. Bands disbanding (and then members disappearing out of the music scene) is not an uncommon thing. But out of so many jrockers that disappeared, I realised i missed Tero (drummer from Vidoll) the most. Hahaha...i even thought i'll missed Isshi (or anyone from Kagrra, for that matter) the most but surprise, surprise, it is you, TERO!

The moment when I felt my heart dropped from 10000++ feet

Friday, March 30, 2012

Thank you for igniting my willpower to do well. I'm not upset with you. A little sad, but when I look back again, I'm feeling more grateful because exams now have 60% weightage and you just spurred me to do better than I had intended at the start.

Well I guess every negative events have their own positive outcomes.

tension gets the best of everyone

Tuesday, March 27, 2012

It is of deep regret that you might be a boss that everyone will hate.

6:25 PM

i should really be sleeping

Sunday, March 25, 2012

But no...here I am staring at the Internet.

Things I'm supposed to do later today:
- Wake up before 10, best if 7 or 8
- Finish my assignment
-Look through everyone's work
-Compile the shit
- Finish designing the flyer
- Send everyone
- Hopefully before everyone start texting me for it.

Don't sound that much to do but it is a lot. I don't know how I am going to do it. Especially the waking up part. Sounds difficult already.

2:52 AM

Hey

Welcome back again, my very first laptop. I'm rather surprised you managed to last 3 years with me and another 2 years 9 months with my aunt. And here you are, back to me and still doing great (but not as fast as you used to be).

And now lets see if you can survive another year with my parents.

Thankyou!

Nightmares

Friday, March 16, 2012

Had a weird dream while napping yesterday afternoon.

I dreamed I was ostracized by people I know and made to sit with snobbish rich people I didn't know. They made fun of me coming from a humble background and kept finding fault with things I did or did not do. Of course there was an element of sadness within me...almost to the extent of being bitter and wished I was Kira and wrote their names in the Death Note, except that I didn't know their names.

School, school, school

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

Final lap for submission is on right now and I am feeling the heat. After so many years of education, one simply has to wonder and doubt the local curriculum. After 10 ++ years of "following closely" to the guides set, I thought university would have a more relaxed and "westernized" attitude towards learning, especially for a foreign degree. To be fair, that is quite true to a certain extent. The other side would be local lecturers assuring students the "more or less correct way of scoring a distinction in exams".

That is not wrong....but even after all this years? When everyone in the class is at least 20 years old? I got to admit having guide to score in exams makes studying easier, but in the end, won't that ultimately destroy the learning process? Everyone will be studying and memorizing for the sake of not failing (or score high marks). When the next semester starts and require students to carry the knowledge from past semester, most of them cannot even apply.

Writing this makes me want to boycott the "revision lectures" next week (where all they really do is to try and spot questions for us.)

People nowadays...

Tuesday, February 14, 2012

Dear FB people who like to take pictures of themselves, write *Happy / Merry *insert festive name here*" and tag people in that photo:

This is just a nicer and more polite way of forcing people to look at your self portraits.

JRock band in Singapore finally

Monday, February 13, 2012

L'Arc~en~Ciel is finally coming to Singapore for the first time since its start up 20 years ago. Must really thank the organizers of Sundown Festival as they were the first one to successfully bring in 2 JRock bands in 2 years ago. It was probably the significant number of signboards screaming "LM.C" and "SUG" that made the JRock industry realised: Hey...we have fan base in Singapore!!".

Will I be going to Laraku's concert is still not definite because honestly, I'm not their die-hard fan. I If i go, it will probably because of HYDE. Make no mistake, I don't like HYDE because of his looks. His voice is awesome. I do listen to their songs here and there but probably not enough to fill out the entire concert length.

It is ironic or shall I say "ill-fated"? If they had made plans to come 5 years ago, I would definitely scream, jump up and down and queue for their tickets. Now, even if the GazettE is coming, I will be thinking long and hard about it.

I guess part of the JRock fanatic died in me when Isshi of Kagrra, passed away last year. Kagrra, is the only band I will definitely go to if they came here...but with the passing of Isshi, this will never ever happen.

Utakata will forever be special to me because it is my first song and left me a deep impression because of Isshi's vocals and the traditional music incorporated so seamlessly with Rock music.

Dead blogs

Sunday, February 12, 2012

There is something about blogging in "dead areas", where almost all of your friends gave up blogging or stopped visiting your blog. Gives me some kind of weird thrill, like strutting around this vast area of darkness with only a torch to illuminate your next steps. And then you can shout and scream and curse into the relentless reality without having to care if the others will hear. Oh wait, there is still that one or two that will hear but i guess that is alright...

In any case, those I thought I had real good connections with, well...they don't anymore. This is another reason why I try to keep private matters offline and off FB. I kinda wished I hadn't seen it that day. Maybe all would be well now.
