::Restart

I think.. my drawing has kinda improved a bit.. juzz a lil bit.. and that's after er.. 5 years of stagnancy? I have begun to draw again.. and learn to draw more complicated pose, then started looking at my own hands and try to draw different kind of hand pose whenever I get bored of coding. My boss pays me to draw crap all day haha.. but I am quite hardworking lah this week.. and my boss has football to thank for that rare workrate. I was ultra happy upon finding out that Arsenal won 2-0 against Juve. And suddenly I got the mood to work extra hard. He better pray that Arsenal win the Champions League. Awrite.. now I got too far. In case you are a girl who like football and love cute footballers and you got tired of Beckham, I recommend you this boy: Cesc Fabregas.! He is not THAT handsome but I think he got personality. We gooners got a song for him:: He is only eighteen, He is better than Roy Keane!! Rite.. no offense to Man Utd fans hor. Was reading linda's entry on 'swe...

Lifetime Marks

I was walking home for cellgroup yesterday. I almost reached my flat when I saw that. The very thing that reminded me of the big big mistake I have made in the past. It is not very encouraging when you are reminded of that scar just an hour before you get to lead your cellgroup. But that is life, God says. We used to trip and injure ourselves many times when we were small. Some of the injuries would heal and leave no trace. Some will leave marks that will never go away. Just like the scars on my right and left hands. I will put up the pictures of them when I got time haha... They look almost identical.. I got the scar on the right hand years ago, an accident. Then my left hand.. well just remember my advise, don't ever ever scratch any part of your body when you got chicken pox. Resist it! Any scratch could potentially leave you with lifetime mark. Okay, back to topic. Yeah.. some mistakes will leave mark that stay with you forever. I felt a bit down.. I looked up to the sky. And ...

Vocab Issue

There are few words and phrases which I don't exactly understand, i.e. what it means, how it is really used, etc. And that is despite the numerous encounters I had with them. For example, I never know how and when I can use this-> blablablabla (pun intended) Ya.. that 'pun intended' is something I never use before. Then, there is this -> bitching Is it totally similar to 'complain'? But it seems to carry different kind of meaning. And why bitch? So do you only use it when the person who is complaining is a woman? But I think I have finally understood this word much better when I read about the whole blinky mummy- xia xue- silly celly saga. Yes call me outdated but I never paid special attention to their blogs until recently. And only today did I learn about the 'disagreement' they have had before. And only today did I learn that 'bitching's is indeed different from complaining; It is much more 'powerful' and frightening. Anyway, last S...

Ranting

A very good article written by an Indonesian I think, on the publication of Playboy in Indonesia:: http://www.laksamana.net/read.php?gid=186 And this is what Tiara Lestari, the first Indonesian model to ever appear on Playboy's cover, thought:: http://tiaralestari.blogspot.com/2006/01/playboy-in-indonesia.html This is hypocrisy at its best, my country that is. So what if Playboy manage to publish their Indonesian version? With porn vcds sold here and there, and Internet invading our youngsters freely, a Playboy mag which will feature no nudity, as they (Playboy) have promised, pales in comparison. Why spend money buying a Playboy mag which is probably only slightly better than Popular mag? So you see, the dangers of pornography is definitely not coming from the toothless Playboy. It is coming from the illegal porn vcds sellers who the authorithy decide to ignore. And it is coming from the Internet which we can do nothing about. And the TV and MTV. So what can we do to stop them dis...

Two Chinese Boys

http://twochineseboys.blogspot.com thx to Ica for the link that lead to these two hillarious chinese boys' blog. To think that they even get praises from people from US, UK, etc.. they really did promote Chinese culture in all the good ways ^^ I first saw them doing Backstreet Boys' song through a link at an Arsenal football club's blog run and visited by mostly European. Now ain't that amusing? This world is really getting smaller. Good news: It is very likely that sakura will be in full blossom by the time I and Mbun reach Japan next week. Mbun said that there is like 30 plus sakura type, even got white ones. So we went Suntec yesterday as I bought some sweaters. I didn't buy long john but apparently it will be very windy there so yeah.. probably get myself some long johns and one jacket which means another 100 $ is about to make way out of my bank account. And that is all for five days trip. Argh..

My picture of happiness

That day, we met. You told me "I am happy". You also asked me to draw my happiness. You want to see, you would love to. So I asked you, "What do you want to see?" "Your happiness, anything. Anything but me." You don't want to be inside, you never want to. So I said, "No problem, give me some time." And I took five years. Today, we don't meet. But I know you are happy. And I thought you may want to see what I have drawn. It has been five years. Do you like it? You don't? No problem, give me another five years ^^

And Again...

If you are the so-called early 80s generation, and you are raised in one of the bigger cities in Indonesia, you've got to know BOBO. A legendary weekly magazine! And if you know BOBO, you gotta know this guy:: No. Not the owl! The old man! He is called 'Pak Janggut', my all time fave, long before I got to know Doraemon. His real name actually is Douwe Dabbert. More info on him:: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douwe_Dabbert Life used to be that simple ^^

Memory Lane Again

I don't read much but those that I read, I miss them..

Memory Lane

remember this?

Bla bla bla

Was thinking, if xia xue is a Taurean, and sillycelly is a Taurean, and we are all almost born on the same date, in fact I was born like three days before sillycelly on the same year. So yeah.. was thinking, maybe I also could come up with a marketable blog and better still, like xia xue, make blogging my profession. You know, maybe I got that gene somewhat inside. But having seen those famous bloggers, I have to admit that some of them are really really good with their writing. The two I mentioned above can sometimes be very creative. *Kow tow. While some of the rest are good with their sexy pose. If I were a girl, a pretty one, I tell you I will do just that. Put on a blog, thrown in all my best pics, and if I dunno how to write, get a good writer to help me to come up with great posts. And ultimately, turn into a blogger who earns money a la xia xue. What a good life! But to be honest, I could never grasp the idea of sharing my life story with, like, another 10.000 who I don't e...

Yaa Haa

Pleasant Surprise

The last 4 days have been kinda a change from my routines. My dad n mum came on thursday. I went to meet them at Raffles City. My mum was acting strange, dragging me here and there, and I was amused but couldn't figure out what was going on. We had dinner and was about to leave when my mum went to call a boy who was busy doing some homework on other table. I was surprised, n seconds later, surprised at how unobserving I was. My bro was coming with them @_@ and he was around all the time, I even walked pass him a couple of times. I just didn't bother to see around. Anyway.. yeah a pleasant surprise. Surprise is something I have not had enough of lately. The highlight of the 4 days was trying out the 'dian xiao er', a restaurant at marina square selling herbal duck. the place was designed somewhat like the oldtime restaurant with the waiters all dressed in the oldtime waiter dress. and for the first time in my life i tried out the ever famous wine "nu er hong". ...

Tickle IQ Test Suck Up to Me

If you are feeling sad, I have a good idea to make you feel happy. Go to http://web.tickle.com, take the iq test and very likely, you will get impressive result and analysis that totally suck up to you, satisfy your ego and make you feel like the smartest ass in the world =P Anyway, here is the result I got haha ^^ Your IQ score is: 136 This means that based on your answers, your IQ score is between 126 and 136. Most people's IQs are between 70 and 130. In fact, 95% of all people have IQs within that range. 68% of people score between 80 and 120. The following chart to your right, shows these percentages and where your IQ score is on that scale. Your Intellectual Type is: Your mind's strengths allow you to think ahead of the game — to imagine or anticipate what should come next in just about any situation. Because you're equally skilled in the numerical and verbal universes of the brain, you can draw from multiple sources of information to come up with great ideas. The t...

X-Road

I love this place. But I wonder if the certainty that I live in everyday has taken away my strength and determination. I love the people I got to know for the last 6 years. Some of them are better than anyone I have ever known for 25 years. Some of them may just be the best I would ever get to know throughout my life. But I wonder.. even if I were to stay here, will they not leave this place one day? Even if I treasure them that much, would they.. Even you would leave. And you. And you. I don't like to be left behind. But it's also hard to leave behind those you treasure. How ironic.. About 9 years ago, I was lying on hospital bed, staring at the window as I spoke to my mum, "I will one day make my way to Singapore; I will succeed and I will bring you and dad to Singapore to live a peaceful life as you grow old." She was smiling. She remembers that promise till today. And so do I. Singapore may not be the most beautiful place to live in but it was, at that point of ti...

Oh I so envy others drawing ^^

A picture drawn by a member of deviant art. It's my favorite Hitsugaya with his vice-captain who is well known for her.. well you can see it for yourself. I like her drawing style... Argh.. All credit goes to here::: http://www.deviantart.com/view/12076318/

She

She is a Korean.. She is working at JAL's check in gate.. which means she probably knows some Jap She works till 10 PM.. She got no ring on her fingers.. which means she is very likely not married She wears sandals on her way home.. which means nothing but he just likes it She got no one waiting for her and no SMS to deal with on her way home.. which again means nothing but at least the opposite would means something bad She alighted at Tanah Merah and probably changed to train heading Pasir Ris.. which just means she stays at the very east side of the island She got er.. well it just means she walks a lot She is a bit like Ryoko Hirosue and she seems to know it judging from her haircut.. which just means that she is kinda cute but then, he doesn't really like Ryoko And.. and.. LO AND BEHOLD!!! He thinks, which may very well be the hallucination effect caused by frog porridge he ate, but he just thinks that.. She had him at the very first sight.. Which is not good at all.
