back from HongKong

will post pictures later. still stoning from waking up at 12.30pm.... :P

basically HongKong is a more congested Singapore. The way they spend $ is more than Singaporeans, everybody is buying something, everyone wears birkenstocks (price about same as SG), all the young ones are so trendy (no see a nerdish one anywhere, all trendy tees and sneakers and hair...), imported cars... alot of mini coopers....

but the food is great. we stepped into any restaurants, the food is good... the hongkong chinese restaurants... the only problem is always what's in the menu coz the chinese is written in the traditional, not simplified way... and i dun really understand their cantonese, and vice versa.

new stage

since i've been slackin my ass the past few weeks... its about time to do something

1. go holiday. hong kong here we come!
2. be a stylist. for portraits and band photos. anybody is welcomed to call me for enquires.
3. be a DI person. build portfolio. since its quite close to drawing, or illustrations. :P
4. submit some 3d animation portfolio to try goin to frameworks. i just kinda lost hope in gettin recruited in the workforce, esp local broadcast industry.

hahaha... too diversed... but thats me. i wanna do everything.

in the end...

stayed at home on sat. missed PLUSH at baybeats and Bloggers Con...

so to make it up, i went Baybeats again on Sunday... and catched Concave Scream, Electrico & Copeland!!!
its great to see musicians play, enjoy some music... just like a few years back. i dont just wanna grow old and miss out what we used to do last time as teens.

wheeee....

staying at home and dunno what to do for the week is giving me nervous jitters. why? coz i'm so used to having a stable job, stable income... suddenly, its just ... UNCERTAIN.

well i guess i'll just slowwwwwly enjoy my OWN TIME...

meanwhile, i'm tryin to complete what i've owed my friend, toy design. sorry rizal! heh.

conclusion:

assholes in the world need to do one thing:

piss blood and DIE.

lets see... who needs to be doing this?

terrorists
greedy peeps
suck blood bosses
'we stand for the ppl *but in fact we're doin it for ourselves' leaders
polluters
bad drivers
unhappy workers in the service industries

ARGH! SPENDING ALERT!

just as i am jobless... i'm tempted with a $65 pair of birks!

ARGH!!!!

WHAT CAME OVER ME!??!?!

I CANNOT CONTROL LEFT CLICKIN 'BUY NOW'!!!!

i'll be damned. :/

question

always had this question or something like this in my head but finally i found my question *bleah*....

'Do you read all the linked up bloggers daily?'

i have a list here.... lets see.... mostly poly mates, poly mates... some IRC friends...

thats about it?

how about 50 ppl? so u read 50 blogs a day?
i dunno... maybe i read slow... or just too lazy... probably the latter.

oh its my last week!

great. lookin forward to KL again!

its been a while since i went back. and since my parents needed a cleaner & painter (hey i can do both!), yeah... plus spicy sauce steamed fish & belachan kang kong is calling out to me...

anyhoo... goin to be jobless soon.
wonder whats in it for me in the near future?

i hope i will have a new job soon, so i can apply annual leave to go HK end of this yr...
or stay jobless.... then i can go anywhere i want.... *wishful thinking*

we'll see...

materials series to end... and beginning of the little girl series

welcome to the little girl series.

inspired by a bad bout of misunderstandings regarding certain materials possessions, i've decided to start afresh with little girl series.

basically, its a series of short stories. with little girl as the protagonist. enjoy. hope to turn it into picture book soon too!


'there was once this little girl, who has big ambitions.

little girl was good at a few things. namely gardening, piloting, and running.

gardening calms her down.

piloting, well, let's say she's good manipulating joysticks.

and she can really run.


little girl grew up (but not that much) and was doing full time air fighter piloting for career. money was good, but the stress & pressure was there.

in her free time, she can bonsai-fy a plain old boring shrub.

and little girl believes running can put her health in tip top conditions for piloting and gardening.




one day the air force hired someone better (probably older too), and she was no longer needed to fly full time. so little girl need to find a job quickly.

gardening?

running?'

whee my titles sucked

found this after fumbling thru a few 'famous' bloggers.

but i'm not writing what he wrote. basically readin his blog reminds me of the time, i follow ms brahooha on her icq outing, and when i met up w local blythe lovers 'community'.

in short, i rather know the person's real name, than to be known as rave, dick, watnot.

or, if u must go for such outing, wear a sticker/teeshirt/cap that has ur nickname on.
wont it save alot of trouble having ppl to identify u (if u are attention seeking), and on a good side, u can reuse the teeshirt/cap *except sticker. unless u print 1000 copies
