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

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...
