PixeL FantasiZersmells like idiocy... 5/13/2008 46) It's been a while.This sem was, exhausting. I've started living in school. Assignment week pulverized me. I didn't sleep so many nights that when it came to a night I could and should sleep, I couldn't cuz I forgot how to. It's become one of my top hated things: Not sleeping when I can. Lying there staring at the blank ceiling depresses me for some inexplicable reason. Mom was right; Singapore is like ancient Egypt. God graciously delivered us from the hands of slave-driving egyptians 7 years ago and I stupidly pranced right back in. Will I get politically-slained for this? My brain and complexion have dulled and I hadn't seen sunlight for a long time. Fresh air suddenly seems so unfamiliar. Anyhow, I don't think I'm getting hall in NTU next sem, and I haven't got anywhere else to live. I need 14 points and I only got 12. And this marvelous school has a tendency to fling all these application and subject registration forms at you right at the moment you're busy finishing off some assignment that's due the next day. Years of being in existence with countless generations of kids streaming in and out have done nothing for the system. Do they not understand what a studio-based elective is?? It's a mod that will vanquish every bit of a life you even think you have. They tell me the year four seniors in this uni look like old hags. Isn't that just encouraging. And I'm halfway through my course too. I guess some good has come out of it. I think. I've been reading the Bible more, reading more Max Lucado, praying more, even doing daily devotions. But at the same time I feel like I'm sinning more too. It's like the more good I try to be, the more bad I seem. The closer to God I try to become, the further I'm slipping from Him. The more I try to rely on Him, the more I forget to ask Him for help. Every step I take forward, it's two steps back instead. Knowledge amounts to nothing without application. I'm a horrible model for what I stand for. sigh. Obedience is the key. I will keep trying. Anyway, I think I'm missing out on like 10 weddings. It claws at my head cuz these are weddings of people that matter to me. And it's not like these kinda things happen again for them so I'm missing out on something that will never ever ever happen again and it really pisses me off. And I'm not even free enough to send an email. Largely because no one tells me when whose wedding is. Every possible time slot I have open, I try to sleep. Argh I'm supposed to sleep now. Update another time. Got all that Tas/Melb stuff to put up too.. 12/10/2007 45) Trash EntryTrash entry. This is an entry of an old entry with a snippet of another older entry. Wrote the old entry last time I came back to Perth, about July.. BEFORE Jess went off to Queensland, so I know I’ve already posted her farewell but I’ll be harping on about how I didn’t later… OLD ENTRY: The car is MINE now. *laughs an evil laugh*. Ah who am I kidding.. Darn Echo. Small obnoxious vehicle. I want the CR-V dammit. I’ve officially readapted myself to the wheel again.. The first week my speed fluctuated so badly.. From the extremes of 110 all the way down to an obscene 87 and anything but 100. But I’ve got that fixed after a few more trips to the city. But I realized that after a while you tend to drive subconsciously, like.. you don’t really pay attention to whether you’re going the right way cuz you’re kinda automatically exiting the freeway at the right time and making the right turns when you should to get home and it’s all in the name of habit... We all do that after a while. I realized this when I found myself contemplating the meaning of life and other nonsensical things while on the road, all the while trying to get the last bits of that jelly outta the damn bubble tea cup.. Cuz daz my favorite bits and I refuse to spare them. The meaning of life? I found my answer in Ecclesiastes 1:2. And Joy was right when it dawned upon her that our social life – and I hesitate on the pretense “social” – only revolves around Northbridge, Timezone coin games, Spot the Difference arcade gamebox, ice cream of any kind, and EZway bubble tea. <_ But we been shopping. That’s gotta count for something. Well.. checked on one of my past blog documentations.. And it was a whole chunk on a string of movies I effortlessly put myself through.. But cuz they’re such OLD movies (like.. Happy Feet period) I refuse to post. Just cutting out a bit of the Casino Royale review I wuz going on about: -- SNIPPET OF ANOTHER OLDER ENTRY: At least watch it for the first 10 minutes. The opening sequence was the prettiest thing.. all the card suits. ARGh pretty. So first you’re just sitting there staring at the pretty kaleidoscope of a screen… AND THEN. The African bomb carrier dude wuz the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on screen cuz ZOMGoodness just go see for yourself. I almost thought hE wuz Bond. You can just walk out after his screentime and feel satisfied. :: Jellyjoii ™ :: says: is casino royale good? :: Jellyjoii ™ :: says: i refused 2 watch it at the CINEMA the distant mind says: the first 10 mins were pretty good, if u can appreciate jackie chan action that is. the distant mind says: HAHA :: Jellyjoii ™ :: says: wadd the distant mind says: BUT whether its worth watching on cinematic screen, DUNNO :: Jellyjoii ™ :: says: has it got jackie chan in it? the distant mind says: O_O… the distant mind says: no.. the distant mind says: ARGH. Daz Joy for you. I’m just surrounded by intelligent beings. Yea but the rest of the film wuz pretty okay… really, the action was quite nice. -- CONTINUATION OF OLD ENTRY: And is it me or is there this incursion of birthdays?? Like everyone came into the world in July. I feel like I’ve been to at least one every week.. and the Nellie/Cheryl/Chiyenn/Theo combined birthday bash?? o_o.. I’ve never been to a 4 in 1 before. Amazing.. Unconventional and efficient. This may be one of those once-in-a-lifetimes things.. And I still gotta blog about Jess’ farewell aye. Ehh people wit photos send em over when you can.. SIS COME BACK. I’ve got the Echo held hostage.. COME HOME IF YOU WANT IT BACK!!! T__T I needa look for someone else to annoy the heck outta me now. Ohh DaniEL~~ I’ve been dying for some good fanfics. I feel like the fandoms are slowly running out of decent material. And more fanart links are breaking.. I now understand how the world will feel the day this planet runs out of resources. Save the trees guys.. Or whales. Whatever. Otherwise yall gonna regret it one day. Gimme ficcc… I will hunt Liz down and make her feed me. --- BACK TO TRASH ENTRY: Note: I didn't go for the 4-in-1, I've already posted the farewell blog, and I still can't find good fic. That is the end of my old old old entries I never ever post up. When will I ever learn. And this holiday I am proud to announce that I got back on the highway without any fluctuation whatsoever. I dreamt of driving every night in Singapore, I imagined the wheel whenever I was in a bus or train, I cursed every vehicle in the uni... It is in my blood. They say it's like riding a bike.. You never forget. I think I forgot how to ride a bike. o__o 12/8/2007 44) B'day SurpriseI'M BACK.
Back in Perth that is. I realize I only blog when I'm back home and it's probably cuz I do nothing but hibernate in my bedroom all day and night. BUT this is the entry I had been wanting to post for the longest time and NOW I'm getting the chance to. Been hell of a busy school semester... Damn animation. Scary things shaking my firm decisions like Prof Davide saying: "OoooHHhhh... you want to be a 2D animator? Well you're going to live in poverty!" He gave me this happy smile and I laughed tentatively along. And that time all of us animators were sitting in that 2D room like worker clones and Davier suddenly stands up, looks around and says, "Guys, can you imagine doing this for the rest of your life?" I swear some of us snapped and broke down that night. (XD nah not really.. But it WAS demoralizing..) And been sick for the pass three weeks. Who knew a flu could last that long? Assignment week and exam week were like some kinda sick, slow death. I was living in that confounded ADM building. You know something's definitely wrong when you walk into the toilets and discover the Dean's got heated showers installed. Heated showers. Go up another level and I saw a blow up bed in the 3D animation lab. Further down and you'd see 5 to 7 people sleeping in the lounge. But it was all kinda fun... I got by by pretending it was a high school camp. It was Yy, Sel, Haoster and myself... We slept in the meeting room - Great thanks to jackets, Yanying's sleeping bags, and beanbags from the lounge - and we feasted on packet noodles every night. Yea it was pretty enjoyable in some strange, exhausting way... And Chinese word of the day: Mei Ren Yu actually means Pretty Mermaid and not No One's Fishing. Thanks yy... XD - BUT anyway... Like I said, I've been wanting to post this entry for a pretty long time, so here it is. Earlier this year when I was back during the summer break, Mainyy, Joy, Grace, Sherlz, Gavin, Dave and Rob decided to scare the heck outta me. It all started with Mainyy saying we should go out sometime and she said HeY let's go out for dinner my dear wifeey! And I said yea sure why not and so she made a plan on some date which I can't remember now and it was on. Drove down to her place and parked outside her joint, got down and rang the doorbell. I felt like some highschool jock taking a date out. Flowers flowers, i forgot th flowers!! -__- wth.. Mainy kinda bounced out, and called me in to look at the entertainment book before we went off. "Mmmkay...." I bounced in after her. “OHHh.. Sam!! Look my, umn, mOM is cooking!” “Where’s your mom?” “Ehh… not… here……”*sweats* “Oh. You helping her??” “YEAA!! I aM! LoooooK!” “Ehh you ruined anything yet?” Mainy u idiot. XD Was just a little bit frightening to see 5 people simultaneously jump out from behind the table. So I screamed I laughed I tried to run away… and then the question hits me: WHAT are they doing here??? This was supposed to be a romantic dinner with wifey.. Wuts the occasion? Did I do something? Ehh hold up did I lock the car just now? Yea the whole surprise was really awesome. Strange cuz we just stood there laughing for a while and then Me: “Eh wut is this for?” Sherlz: “… Your farewell/birthday…” *quietly snatches a card and a packet of candles off the table* Me: “Ohh yea… HAHA…” Joy: “EHh SHERMAINE you should have told Sam! She doesn’t even know it’s her birthday!!” Shermaine: “EHh then it won’t be a surprise anymore RIGHT?” Ehh felt kinda stupid after a while cuz I KNOW my birthday’s coming cuz like who doesn’t know when their own birthdays are, and so I could afford to be a little more wary or at least suspicious about things… but I keep forgetting about it and I am SO slow and admittedly unobservant cuz I can’t believe I missed Joy’s big blue ball of a Beetle. (You sold it! How could you do that??!) The only thing I thought about was if it was just dinner, WHY go into Mainy’s house first instead of just driving off to the restaurant already? But she said look in the Entertainment Book so I happily skipped along behind her… Joy: SAM are u surprised?? BE MORE SURPRISED!!! Me: I AM. *showed how surprised I was* (no no i really was) Joy: EEHHHH.. Grace: Sam Sam! Look at the apples! I helped peeled them!! *proudly shows me an apple* Me: Oh. Umn. AHhh, very pretty! How sweet of you Grace!! Thank you SO much for peeling those apples till they were skinless- Grace: And I dropped one into the bin while I was peeling it! The whole thing dropped in. Me: o__o;; Ohh.. haha.. that’s very nice!! Keep… practicing. This is Mainyy's mom?? o_O Three course meal folks... XD But yea.. the food wuz great (thanks Chef Gav!) and the company was exceptional.. Just sitting there with them, talking about the dumbest things - whether tomatoes were a fruit or a vegetable and how were a certain minority of people gonna fit into those Evo/Daytona racing chairs and how to carry plates waiter-style.. Yea. I missed em. All the while the nostalgia lingering way above me like a cloud and it felt pretty good. I’ve got good friends and I guess that’s what made the whole thing so fun. Was hilarious when someone said something about Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien and stuff being classified under Chinese and Joy said no, Chinese was Chinese and Cantonese etc. were dialects which wasn’t Chinese. And honestly, I’ll admit to knowing nothing about this – hence I was unusually silent at that moment – and if anything, I thought dialects weren’t Chinese and so I would have actually agreed with Joy, if the opposition hadn’t consisted of like, EVERYONE ELSE. So yea, girl you’re on your own this time. XD Sherlz: Cantonese IS Chinese. Mandarin’s Chinese as well. Joy: No!!! Sam HELP ME. Me: . . . *mumbles incoherently* . . . Rob: Man Joy would never admit she’s wrong aye! Maine: No she did.. like when she didn’t know Jesus died at 3:00… Joy: Yea yea I said sorry! But that’s like, who knows these kinda things? Grace: Yea it’s like asking what’s the 50th word in Harry Potter. Joy: But like if you ask like, what did Jonah* get swallowed by, we all know these kinda stuff. Sherlz: Well DO you know what he got swallowed by? Joy & Mainy: *with amazing pride and confidence* A whale!! Sherlz: It was a big FISH. Joy: OH REALLY? Rob: Ehh Isn’t a whale a fish? Everyone: . . . Me: A whale’s a mammal. (David Attenborough suddenly comes in handy) Rob: Oh. Joy: Ehh… well I only didn’t know that cuz I didn’t really listen in Sunday school.. Oops. Dave (the former Sunday school teacher): I’m gonna pretend I didn’t hear that. And Joy: A tomato is a vegetable! Sherlz: It’s a fruit!! Joy: Sam HELP me!! Me: . . .*mumbles incoherently* Auntie Sok Hwa: Oh it’s not a vegetable?? Sherlz: It’s a FRUIT!!! How can you all not know this? Okay Joy do you know what a mushroom is? Joy: It’s a vegetable. Me: (AHH this I KNOW.) It’s a funghi! ^_______^ Joy: Ohh. Then what is a fungheee?? Auntie Sok Hwa: Umn.. Just another way to say funghi… Joy: Oh. My best friend’s a geniusSs.. But yea.. It was all really fun… THANKS you guys… *HUGS* The il’ gelato cake tastes a lot sweeter with your guys around… ^__^  Oh and this for the vis commers... Arnotts TimTam did something very discreetly sweet with thier packaging.. Sweet. ^__^ *I said Noah. When it should be Jonah. No better than the fish/whale thing. T_T Thanks Jap. XD 8/2/2007 43) Sis' Farewell.. Off to Queensland!!Ehh MY SIS IS GONE!!! SADDD. The car is mine now. And I missed a 4 in 1 birthday party. BUT SADDDDD!!!!! And now Nellie's engaged!! YAyyy!!! SISSSS where you at!!? Where is the sister?? Queensland and Cairns.. Daz just across the damn continent. Erh. NUMBER 1 COME HOME!!! *plays Bublè – Home* I am such a late blogger.. Jess' farewell wuz like, almost 2 weeks ago.. And I need PHOTOS my dear friends whoever has some GIMME. Well here's a more meaningful entry rather than the usual nonsense... Group shots..
And then my dad said we girls look more picturesque when we're taking pictures of OthER people.. And Sherlz has this amazing ability to think of the strangest games that border on the genius.. Wut wuz it called again.. Jessica Scrabble. <__<;; Amazing. With the 7 letters you pick and ultimately get to swap for better letters, make a word that you think describes Jess and state your reason why.
And AWW sweet when Gav sang for Jess... XD And Joey and Liang sang their hearts out that night too..damn post-banders.. HAHA they were awesome. Gengracers do quite an impressive job at the whole symmetry thing.. Yepp my friends are idiots. XD And like everytime there's an event at our house, the stairway shot.. At the airport... A bunch from GA and Zion and her uni mates came to send her off...
Jess is so CUTE!!
I miss my sis. T__T
SIS COME BACK. I’ve got Echo held hostage.. COME HOME IF YOU WANT HIM BACK!!! (eh did I say "him"? ha.. hahaaa....) T__T I needa look for someone else to annoy the heck outta me now. Ohh DaniEL~~♥ 7/13/2007 42) Road Trip again! Busselton and Pemberton..A few people been bugging me to update my damn blog and yea it’s about time huh.. My last entry could have been almost a year ago man what have I been doing.. I’ve mentioned my issue with the Mac refusing to do a decent format on my MsnSpace entries.. So I had actually done a couple of entries (a couple = 2) over the busy year and just saved them in my lappie for future documentation. Will go over them once more and decide whether I still wanna post them or not.. When it come to works, at least in art, you start to realize that your past work is very mangy work. Wow it’s been a long time.. Couldn’t even remember my blog address and had to go to other blogs and use their links. It has been a LONG time. And all my old pics are gone. Ehh oh well. Onward. Back in Perth at the moment – whoa not a blog from me at all in Singapore.. But home sweet-as home. Been a long time, beddy boy. Swung my bedroom door open to find a dog plushie sitting there between my pillows with its forelegs crossed and a piece of paper beneath him reading: Welcome home Sam! ♥ -Babee. And I wuz like, Babee? Who on earth is Babee?? And then the dog looked innocently at me and ahh.. I see.. Babee... “MOM are YOU the one who named the dog?? YEA I FIGURED.” But yea.. family’s great, friends are great (most of them.. XD.. Jk u asses…), weather’s SO great, and GAH car car car is great. Oh yea.. main entry focus: I went on a road trip just last Thurs 050707, two-night stay in Busselton/Pemberton.. With Joy Louise and this time finally Stina.. Was it fun or what? Haa.. definitely fun. Joy managed to snap this one and after I fiddled around with color correction it turned out looking something like an album cover.. Had this mega issue with accommodation but chalk that one up to our incorrigible lack of decision. But it was even fun just looking for a place to stay.. Crap like “Isn’t this like, the perfect place to get murdered?” “Omg I think they used this setting in that Identity movie..” “Guys the bathroom is hell creepy and I don’t wanna sleep near the window..” Was most hilarious when we got to this particular motel, and it really wasn’t too bad but then the owner of the place emerged from the darkness behind the counter and before we could say anything, stupid Joy: “Sam..? Ta wei she me zhe me guai?” (Why does she look so strange) and I just started cracking up right there and then.. Cuz admittedly it was the first thing that popped into my head too.. She had this low cottony voice and black curly hair that seemed very much like a wig and dodgiest part was she had a bad habit of fading in and out of the shadows. First thing that came to mind was omg Roald Dahl Witches!!! (I’m horrible..) Kept trying to catch glimpses of ink-stained teeth and maybe a limp when she walks.. But there was one bit when we finished checking the room out and was about to turn around to go back to reception, and me and Joy were in the lead and just when we turned, there was that lady standing right there at the bend.. We just kinda froze there and I recall choking back a swear word. Lady: So how did you find it? The second day was like, snack day. Visited Simmo’s and had ice cream for breakfast (ignore the fact that our dinner the day before was Twisties and Cadbury..), the Margaret River Chocolate factory and Candy Cow and yea, pretty much one unhealthy day.
Had our Bussellton accommodation bailing on us and we went down to Pemberton for hotel-hunting that night in the eerie darkness all the while zeroing on gas. But we found a nice place and bridged the night away. Amazingly it was that damn Christina that won and SHE was the one complaining and half asleep.. <__<;;
Third and final day was awesome. We climbed a Gloucester tree.. 60m this one was (Me and Louise recall ever climbing a taller one on separate occasions..) and at first Louise and Stina claimed to have a fear of heights while me and joy were kinda hyped up about it.. But we all went anyway and that was when 20m up, the almighty fearless Joy tapped me on the ankle and said, “Ahh Sam actually I’m kinda scared now aye.” XD!!! But brave girl said she wanted to persist. Show you pics of us climbing.. WAHAHA nice pic aye. Nah just being stupid. This one I drew the night BEFORE (don't ask) we climbed the damn tree.. Kay.. real pics..
Eh this one i did after the fishing.. After some real life experiences.. Okay mebbe just for Stina.. That thING couldn't fish for nuts.. ("Guys why doesn't the string move when I cast?" "Eh.. Stina.. you gotta flip the reel up first.." <__<;; No.. seriously.)
Haa.. and even while fishing we can find ways to entertain ourselves..
Caught ourselves 4 fish.. And we had them cooked and served with chips and hell yum.. hehe..
And that pretty much spells the end of our road trip.. Hehe..
