made further changes to the layout
initially wanted the whole body to be centralised
but after some edits here and there i thought the huge date header looked pretty good with the rest
and for easier reading, the fonts made bigger...

larger than life attitude for the new year, anybody?


do you hear them cheering

cheering like it really mattered?

new layout done in 15 minutes!
well not exactly new... because it was just a change of background and colour scheme (which is barely there)
and the guitar you see was sketched with ink on paper... before getting scanned into the computer and edited and stuff :p
that in total took some time
so yeah not exactly 15 minutes either...

i've got 19 more drawings to go
it's this drawing holiday assignment we have...
20 on a4 paper with different medias of the same object
eg. one in ink, the other in charcoal, wax, paint etc.

and i'm feeling kinda lazy to draw 19 more guitars o.O

i love how this piece was enlarged when scanned in the computer
because you do not see every stroke the pen has made on paper as clearly as you can see here
and for the hundreds of strokes of ink
they created what is so simply called as just a sketch...

i found the descriptions of the certain products that they are selling at this certain webby pretty funny.


*religious ones who may take offense, do not click on link. :p

if you're wondering. . .
i actually played PEEKABOO with those kittens to get
them look like that.
loL

i have a few problems you guys might be able to help me with

when the modem's connected to the comp thru the ethernet opening at the back of the CPU... there had been no detection of new hardware or whatsoever.
but when i tried that using the USB port, i've got myself an internet connection
so does that mean my network card's faulty?
used PC Doctor on it and it said that it's functioning properly...
this happened after i unplugged the cable from the ethernet opening to try the USB thing

the last time i surfed using IE was yesterday evening
now i'm running on MOZILLA (the browser) because every single site i visited using IE has the PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED error even though my internet connection is working fine.
can't possibly uninstall IE can i... bill gates made it that winXP cannot run without IE.

if i'm sounding impossibly calm i'm just trying to keep my hands busy so as to prevent myself from tearing my hair out of the scalp...

oh yeah one last thing...
does anybody have an external HD to lend me?

merry, merry christmas!

not like I celebrate christmas but...
it's still an occasion
to have an excuse to be on holiday
have fun
and feel 'in season'

this year's christmas has been a special one...
...and hence that makes 24th/25th special dates

i mean, what beats spending a special occasion
with that special one? :)

i hope you guys had fun too!

the longest line.

you wouldn't believe this either.

what the hell were these people thinking? o.O

you wouldn't believe this, this, and this. -_-

no where left
where you can sing
and dance
and waste the night away...

stay with me
hanging around
in the lost and found

'bout 2 hours ago i was walking home when i saw 2 cats outside the gate to the lift looking kinda disturbed and worked up and when i walked into the lift there it was, the 3rd cat pacing about inside with anxious eyes fur all fluffed up purrrring like nobody's business rubbing itself against me for comfort all the way from the 1st storey to the 15th
(it because i didn't check if it's a male or a female)
then it followed me out of the lift and kept close at my heels

i would have invited it into the house in a heartbeat but no, certainly not when there's a parent in the house with a strong dislike for cats so i carried it in my arms and went back down to the 1st storey then placed it outside the other gate *sigh*

wonder what the deal was with those 3 cats

anyway there was another session today and i kinda wrecked both knees... landed on them on a lot of occasions cos i just couldn't land a proper 180 off the stupid launch ramp and so if you see me with no knees tomorrow cos they'll probably be all swelled up and stuff don't laugh okay?

friggin' ultrawheels knee guards didn't really help lessen the impact(s)
managed the rail a little on the funbox though... but that's definately a long overdue achievement.



missed him a whole lot today

i just finished alice sebold's The Lovely Bones

awfully sad and heart wrenching but it's also a very, very beautifully written novel.


listen: grandaddy - protected from the rain

SO stasis 6 came and went
6 consecutive years they've been doing this!!!
last year's one was held at substation as well
and the year before the last at NUS if i'm not mistaken
okay that's all i remember...

terrific line up... as usual... great bands... . . ... okay crowd :p
would have been much better if he was around buttttt
at least there were scuzz juzbum and his brother and a few others
so nevermind :p

the gig should have been held somewhere less crammed though
somewhere with more standing space
and meza virs' (a local symphonic death/black metal band just in case you are wondering) set was a real waste
lousy crowd (MOST of them were waiting for fishtank...)
and it was too too short a set.
they were missing a guitarist as well
so without the RAW ENERRRGYY it felt really weird watching them play

anywayyyyyyy
everybody go check out this ass rockin webby in a few days' time...
the full reviews and pictuurrres should be up by then :)

ears are still ringing...

*ring ring ring*

went a bit deaf after THE GATHERING
will go completely deaf one day if this carries on


does anybody know where to get RED EYELINERRRR?

*saturated dreams*





endless crowd of white

it's raining like nobody's business right now


so many things in life to feel angry about...


and it's getting bright far too quickly

just in time for the season


got that off this site.
pretty cool drawings they have there

and the comic strips......
totally hilarious :p

deadbeat

was at the Gathering '03 yesterday... it was s'posed to start at 1pm so i woke up kinda early
andddd guess what? surprise surprise, the gig started an hour and 40 minutes later than the scheduled time...
so jay and i were just hanging around in club VIP til 920PM that night.
met quite a number of people too... talon kaze lif and ryan etc
the gig on the whole was okay...
'cept that the bass amplifier wasn't really in proper working condition and there were quite a few good bassists who played... such a waste for both me and them
then after that met celes and jayass (unrelated to the jay mentioned earlier...) at newton for supper walked down to far east plaza before splitting and we took a cab to pasir ris park.

the sky was kinda clear so there were like a zillionnn stars (and mosquito bites) to count
and we stayed up the whole night

i'm blogging for the sake of blogging right now because i can't possibly read a book cos i'd probably fall asleep or something and i've got a jamming session at 2pm later so i gotta stay awake until it is time to leave the house and that's in about 2 hours' time

*snoRe*

maybe i should just go play yahoo pool

Your soul is bound to the White Rose:
The Pure.




"I've been waiting in the dark for a long
time, shining my beacon of hope through the
shadow. If you see me, don't you hide your
eyes from me."

The White Rose is associated with purity, honor,
and chastity. It is governed by the goddess
Artemis and its sign is The Cross, or Agape.

As a White Rose, you are a person of your word.
You may have a strong moral code, but
regardless of your virtue, you always stay true
to yourself. To you, love is the most pure of
emotional forms and it's just a matter of
waiting for it to bless you. Some people may
say you are too idealistic, but it's only
because you don't want to mess things up.


What Rose Is Your Soul Bound To?
brought to you by Quizilla


got that off darryl's blog
thought it was rather beautiful

got awoken by a dream around 4 this morning
it's just weird how dreams can induce emotions you'd never imagine to feel while in a conscious state
and what i felt was a terribly overwhelming sense of sorrow
the kind of sorrow you get upon the realisation of how some relationships/feelings/people will never be the same again
because what was lost is gone forever and there is no way of getting things to be how they were before

so i was just sitting there at the edge of my bed staring into dark space thinking about the past
and about the dream of course... how i had to walk away and leave him there like that
it probably doesn't apply to him alone but to everybody whom i've lost a bond/relationship with
passer bys of my life
passer bys i regret having to let go

listening to sherene's closet helped me drift back to sleep and provided some kind of cold comfort though

*sigh*


losing focus in our eyes...chasing memories down the hole

forget about the previous post and the URL...
think the file got removed cos of rights or bandwidth probs or something like that
oh well....

blah... got a BIT freaked out upon watching this

here's something on the advert:


This advertisement is very popular in HK because most of the people saw something extra in it.
When the director of the ad reviewed it at midnight one day, he discovered there is 1 extra kid right at the back of the supposed 6 children filmed playing the game. Soon, the kid who was held by the shoulders was dead. The ad was stopped broadcasting immediately but a lot of people were already talking about it. Around the 25th-27th sec, the last person is a fat boy, his shoulders were held by a girl who kept her head down (girl with 2 pony tails).
When the kids' faces are shot close up, you can see the girl who had her head down. You must watch it very carefully because the shot lasts for only 1 second. At the last scene, the fat boy is at the end of the line, but where is the girl??


was at the dining table in front of a huge mirror reading and eating the usual biscuits and jam just a few minutes ago when the ad ran through my head and i got kinda paranoid so now i'm back in my room and decided to blog about it :p
