I Promise You I Will Learn From My Mistakes

173 days have passed by. I guess, things have been goin pretty smoothly for now. It was a bad start,but I guess time can fix alot of things. Distance too, I must add. I sorta feel like its time to review the year so far, just to check on things. Firstly, and most importantly I must express satisfaction because this is probably the first time that I'm keeping to the new year's resolution and. The fact that I made the effort to start changing deserves a pat on the back ok? I'm just kidding. It wasnt that hard. What am I talking about? Why its simply...hitting the gym. Like I said, it wasnt that hard. But what I find from taking that first step is that, it slowly lead to another step [dohh, walk cycle]. The 2 other steps were things that I had not put into the plan because I'm not gonna force myself only to fail. Promises made to myself, are not meant to be broken. I'm talking about my drinking and smoking. Now I drink a few beers about once a week, sometimes less than that. And I ALMOST smoke once a week as well. Except for the occasional 1-2 puffs from someone after meals. I dont know about you, but I honestly find this quite an achievement. Considering that I'm not forcing myself to quit. I wont lie to myself and others. I'm not quitting. I'll admit the day I know for sure that I can.

192 more days, till the end of 2009. We're at the middle point. Should I put in mid-year resolutions? Being pretty ambitious seeing that its been pretty successful so far. I'm done now, with my degree life. Fingers crossed that I've done enough to get me through that final hurdle. I know I've mentioned about getting some extra work done in the next coming months before I start my Masters course. But I guess in all honesty, I just want a break, take my mind off of things and think about where I want to go in life. I'm so unsure sometimes. I have neither dreams nor goals nor the drive to get me through things. Ok I just realised that the 1st and 2nd paragraph is totally unrelated.... but yeah...thats just me, dropping off all my current thoughts..

Sometimes I feel like I've nothing to say anymore. Has my vocabulary shrunk, or my ability to construct sentences deteriorated? Or am I just turning emotionless? Btw... my stupid dog has been whining for the past HOUR! omg, he can be so persistent!! HELP! Ok... thats enough for now.

Currently hooked to tracks that have no lyrics... so.. nothing for this post.hehe Nights!!

All That I Need

A picture 

I’ve been running on, running on empty
For way too many miles now
I’ve been flying with broken wings

And now I’m falling faster to the ground
And it’s a bitter end to a story so sweet
Like a long lost friend
That’s never found a way back to me
And I can’t deny these memories
Got me all locked up inside
And you hold the key
All that I need is this moment
To send me away with a smile on my face
I tried to leave but I turn back
On my heart remains a trace
All that I see is this moment
All day in my mind I recreate
If there was a way to get back
This feeling of chase..of chase
All that I need is this moment
This moment..

And a tune to start the day.

Doesnt matter if the world outside is gloomy, if you're contended inside then nothing can change that.

Another Day Turns Into Night

Yea... havent been updating much lately. It was the final weeks of my semester and as usual, the crazy workload. Wouldnt have been as crazy if I have been managing my timing nicely from the beginning. But being the procrastinator that I am, work isnt work until it is at the last minute. My presentations were on Thursday. both of them in the same day back to back. Super tiring, but its OVER! this is the end of my degree life. Gonna miss it, I can feel it. Wish I was back in foundation years, sometimes. All the fun and experimental ideas. OH well... ANyways, just realised that I have not announced the new arrival of my lil boy.[Dog of course]

Meet Loki. As of today, he is 11 weeks old. He's one stubborn lil shit. Some say, he matches my character. But as his master, of course I have to tame and control him. Which in someways makes me more stubborn than him. Dont know if its a good thing. haha. Beagles are known for being stubborn and slightly difficult to teach. Perhaps I got him to test myself. And no new dog can replace the old ones. I find myself accidentally calling him Bandit[my old dog]. Maybe its and old habit. But I do miss that fella still. I wonder if this is anywhere near how parents feel about losing one of their child. ok, randomnessss.... 

Everyone's been calling me more often lately... but its not to see me, its to see him. hmmph. *jealous* hehe nah...kidding. I do enjoy my alone time. Now that he's here to keep me company, I really dont need to leave my house.

So anyways, I'm looking to apply for Masters sometimes in November or December for the February intake next year. At the mean time, I'm looking for side projects to work on for fun but mainly its to strengthen my portfolio. HOpefully something interesting comes along. Aight...thats all for now.

REDS REDS REDS!!

Champions Champions!!! Despite playing quite a shit game with Arsenal, all we need is just a point to clinch our 18th title and that is exactly what we got.

Another year, another title. 18th Premiere League title. 11 of them came from Sir Alex's reign. From the results, he has GOT TO BE, the BEST damn manager alive. And there is no better team for me, than the Red Devils. 10 years ago, we were the best team in the world, can we do it again this time? 

*chants* UNITED!! UNITED!! UNITED!!

Do You Believe There Is A Limit, To How Fast A Man Can Run

I dont know if its blogger being annoying or its my connection, but I cant seem to upload pictures...hence the delay in updating. =\

Well..currently in class now waiting for my turn to consult bout my progress. Its week 7 now and progress hasnt been too good. Mainly because 2D animation isnt really my thing. Would have loved to experiment with so much more, especially with video. Need to get my act together and produce portfolios

Edit:

OK... i just realised that I didnt publish the post before leaving class.hahaha.. I'm a genius. Anyways... Its a Friday night.. and I'm home alone. Seeing that Photoshop has been brought up on several occasions and I've splurged 80bucks on magazines, I decided to open up photoshop and test my rusty skills.

I've always liked the dirty grungy style and I was trying to make a desktop wallpaper..just for fun....so...

this was what I came up with.... when u look closer, theres alot of mistakes. Some parts are retarded.ahhaha but..Oh WELL.... And I couldnt decide which one suits better, so I made a few copies.

One which has less detail in the back. A much cleaner treatment....

And another one that is... similar to the first one...except that the color is slightly lighter.. Cant seem to see much of a difference here.

I sense that its not really complete... but to add more things to it would just complicate the composition and might just ruin the entire thing instead of doing any good. I would love feedbacks or perhaps a collaboration with someone??? haha. ok.. I'm done for the night.

Last note: I've got myself a new phone, since my current contract is about to end. Its the N95i. Might have been an impulse buy, I dont need a new phone but.. its nice to have a change =) I hope the phone isnt smarter than me, coz it says SMARTPHONE when I connected it to my comp via bluetooth.haha ok, lame. Off to bed now. Nights.

How long will it take to mend this broken heart?
I’m fading
Is there any way we can undo this silence?

Undo this silence
Baby I’m breaking down

Pulser - Undo This Silence

I’m Amazed We’ve Come This Far

Seems theres been quite a few events and festivals goin on around Melbourne recently, not that I was very aware of it. But on weekends, when you have nothing much to do, its nice to just take your camera out and go around. Escape the mundane routines that we succumb to every other day. My Flickr account has been left abandoned for awhile. Need to go around and take more pictures. The last thing I uploaded was from Dandenong trip, late last year.

So, last sat me and the rest went to Carlton Garden to check out this pillow fight event. It was pretty funny. So many people actually brought their pillows, some even bought new pillows! As it went on, just like you would have guessed, feathers and cottons all came flying out. No shit.. but there were just too much movement around to take decent photos.

There was this kid, that was really cute. Too small to join the rest of the adults, so he's just picking up whatever thats on the floor, entertaining himself.

Isnt life so much easier through the eyes of a child?

Being in your own world and not a care about anything else.

Letting other people do the worrying for you. Blissful aint it? To always smile that way and know that when you smile, its because you're really feeling happy, instead of masking all your emotions.

Its the 6th of April... One year ago today,  I witnessed a passing of someone I knew. Time flies, but the thoughts and memories does not fly too far from you. It was him, that opened my eyes to bigger pictures. It was then that I realised that life is short and fragile. It was then that I learned to not just live your days doing nothing and being aimless. Its about living it for a purpose. Appreciate what you've all got, you'll never know how long you're able to hold on to it. I hope you're doing well, Andrew.

Ok... me is Lazy to do anything now. Oh also I should remind people who are not aware, that daylight saving it over. So its back to 2 hours ahead from home[Msia]. Makes it seem like we're closer now, dont you think?.....or not.. Anyways, its the Easter holidays this weekend. Lets see if I can manage to squeeze in time some shoots. Aight... till the next time.

Sailing away from me like melting snow in my hair
I miss your touch,
Trying to sew up a love that was built on the sun
I miss you so much
Like a fire burns to embers
I know this is where it ends
In the ashes we are dying
almost strangers only friends

Above & Beyond - Far From In Love

This Love is Difficult, But Its Real

Been searching for new shades recently. No, actually I havent been searching.. it was just... one of those days, when you've got this ITCH of walking into a shop and setting yourself up for a trap.. I've had my eyes set on this Oakley pair called Juliet for some time now. But its very costly. And I cant...bear to fork out that much cash for a pair of shades. So I walked into Oakley shop, and being itchy and all... started picking out a few pairs to try on, for FUN! and what do u know.. I got hooked on one of em, called Flak Jacket. With iridium lenses, it costs 250AUD. A tad bit painful.. but beats Juliet...Sigh..... JULIETTTT~~~

Let me show you what Juliet Looks like....

And I said "Marry me, Juliet. you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know."

Ducati Juliet which is... 520AUD

And...Polarized Juliet which is 580AUD

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."

And so it is.... Just like you said, it would be.... 

I'll go for my rebound,

Flak Jacket.

Ok, I'm getting REAL LAME here. But BITE ME. I'm in a dilemma. Well... not so much in a dilemma. Its not like I'm choosing between them. I know I'll never get Juliet. I'm just whining coz I like that shit so much. But oh well. Flak Jacket will have to do for me now. Until mAYBe when I start getting my ass to work and earning my own....maybe maybe. Ok... gonna go take a nap. I might just bring Flak Jacket home today. =D till then...
