The Covenant.
fuck you for taking my $7.
i cant help but think the script and story telling of the movie sucks.
it is terrible.
no realism to the story what so ever.
yes i know, lots of movies have unbelievable things.
but a good movie makes the unbelieavable, believable.
this movie FAILS at that!
it is terrible.
i see so many ridiculous things going on, mainly with how the characters are far too blatant with thier dialogue.
its like, the things they say are SOOOOO damn obviously just for telling the story.
yes, the things a character say naturally progress the story in any movie.
but for this movie, it is just too obvious. it is like screaming at my face when i watch. i cant help but think how damned blunt the storytelling it.
and the way the final fight is done.
wtf?! can any of you say DRAGON BALL Z?!
this is an interpretation of the action, if the characters were talking dragon ball z style.
protogonist: oh lets see you have a taste of my powerful technique and skill! *KAME-HAME-HA!!!
antogonist: oh! you think you are STRONG?! AH HA!!! ill show you, whelp! *catches energy ball with hands* *focuses for a second and sends energy ball back* RAAA!
protogonist: OH MOTHER FUCK! *gets blasted like 10 feet from where he was standing, crashing through stuff*
ok, so dragon ball z wouldnt have 'mother fuck' inside but i couldnt resist.
but seriously! its that fucking dumb!
the steps to beat the 'bad guy' is also fucking dumb.
just like power rangers ok.
its like a defeated power ranger getting powered up by ZORDON.
lightning strikes down and empowers the ranger!
LO AND BEHOLD! the new and mighty power ranger, with somehow becomes SO strong he can defeat the enemy which TRASHED him! and with just 1 single blow!
its just like that!
retarded movie.
end of bitching.
thank you very much.
i will miss you forever my sweet $7

Avoid
yesterday night i somehow got in an arguement with a friend of mine when talking thought MSN.
a girl. whom i must admit, i think i like. abit.
examining my conduct and words when it was near end of the argument, i realised it was due to me asking questions i normally wouldnt ask, and behaving in a way i normally never would.
i was too bothered and too analytical of the situation when with her.
and its terrible but i cant help it.
its realli the same as another past incident i had with another girl.
the pattern is.
sometimes the rest remedy to a difficult situation is to take some time away from it.
i need some time away from unstable emotions.
in fact, i think from now on ill be extra careful about situations where chats can lead to discussions, debates and the eventual argue.
i realli dunno what to say ah. its damn terrible.
so i chose to avoid talking to her altogether.
while many of you might think 'NO dont avoid/run away! Itll lead to more problems!'
well trust me on this one guys. this time, avoiding is the key.
Edit update 11pm 29 sept: actually, avoiding might not be the key. doh. >_<

the pattern is.
- its always with a girl i like.
- its always at night. (strange)
- i start feeling tense without noticing.
- i start being realli analytical on casual stuff.
- i may ask wierd questions.
- i may state things i normally never would.

One Day
one day, ill approach that mystery girl.
one day i will.
shes probrably the onli girl i dare not approach.
cos she intrigues me to the point that im afraid to converse with her.
SO NOT ME. hahahahaa.
The Mystery Girl
this person, has always been a secret character of mine for years.
not cos i was afraid to tell people, but cos i never realli bothered much about it before.
once in a while in my life, i would chance a meeting with her, ALWAYS within or near an MRT station.
it started from sec 1 or so, i cant realli remember.
but when i see her...i always think that i somehow KNEW her in a way. not personally, but in the way where one sees a familiar schoolmate. u noe the person, but yet u dont.
i think she was in the same primary school as me. someone i cant forget?
i saw her again on saturday.
and i cannot deny.
i was excited to see her.
i do not know why!
it was onli then that i realised. just why am i so excited? i wasnt reacting like this in the past.
i dont even noe her name, or where shes schools, are anything! but each time i see her...i cannot look away!
i told myself that i would ask for her number one day. but i cant?
she just seems so...hard to reach. hahaha.
just felt like i should tell the world.
XD

Whirling
saturday, 10th sept.
went to east coast road for PComD project meeting. we got alot of work done...im satisfied.
sean paul (the year 1 fella) was also there.
after we finished the PComD meeting, dennis, sean and me went to orchard, because dennis wanted to take some pictures of his BaPho theme. i thought id just tag along, cos there was bound to be good pictures here and there.
sean was there to help dennis out.
but in the end, dennis didnt get the take his pics, and the 3 of us walked around and chilled out.
chilled out.
at starbucks.
its been a long time since ive chilled out like this...and not hold my thoughts back.
3 guys.
somehow i felt rather at ease, even though i never felt that close to any of them.
we talked about lots of stuff.
especially on the topic of affections.
and it realli got me thinking.
about past events, and just how our emotions work.
feelings that are just so simple, but yet so unexplicably mysterious and unpredictable.
it made me think how things changed.
that perhaps all i wanted was a fling from my relationship.
it made me feel like saying hi to abby, just to see how shes doing.
how i accepted a cynical nature.
and other random stuff.
there was just so much information to process and churn out.
it was a whirlpool of ideas.
when i went back to pasir ris, i didnt go home immediately.
instead, i wandered around my neighbourhood for an hr or so, taking random shots. the lighting was bad though. it was already 10.
listening to my mp3 and looking at the world through the viewscope of the camera which belongs to my ex, and having the thoughts of my life swirling in my head.
i felt like i was just a flickering flame, wandering in darkness.
snap snap snap. the shutter went.
i got home.
and i watched a movie.
the movie is,
I Am Sam.
i dunno if its supposed to feel like a sad movie
but somehow i realli realli felt sad when i was watching it.
and though the ending was a supposedly a happy one...i still felt like it was such a meloncholic movie.
and after the movie, i went online MSN. about 1am
and i feel irritated at myself.
cos i realised that i came online...just for 1 single person. realli. just for that.
it just feel stupid? cos theres nothing to LOOK for but yet i couldnt help it. i just did.
quite fustrating.

tired of everthing.
just wanna stop it all.

sometimes its realli just too much to take.
this night, i feel disapointed.
both in myself as well as a person.
the person.
i feel like saying 'people'. but no.
i love my PID mates and design school buddies.
so i cant say that.
i KNOW its just that 1 person. that just UPSETS me.
its like dealing me a pack of lies. a FULL DECK.
well now you noe. why i dont rely on fate.
myself.
i feel like ive let myself down.
realli.

A Repressed Rave
A Repressed Rave.
like a rose that blossoms in beauty
as well as withers in the following days,
young love is similar, in the way it decays.
late nights of slumber,
thought-and-mind less,
yet i am awake, when im already dead.
working in school, i do what i can
so why does it feel,
like im wasting my sand.
people think central,
and they dont give a damn,
but here i am, still being the lamb.
reminding myself
to free my obsessions,
but why do i always get caught in entangle
life is meaningful,
(or so i believe),
even though i dont see,
how it applies to me.

His First Time
the boy is anticipating.
caressing her body, and holding it firmly but yet gently, he feels quite excited about the experience hes about to have. its realli considered his first time...
feeling and observing the parts of interest, the boy gets to better understand what hes holding in his hands. he begins experimenting the way hes going to do it, thinking of the outcome.
after playing around for awhile, he gets to the real action. sliding the trigger back and forth, and constantly adjusting his posture for maximum comfort each time, the boy is starting to get the hang of it.
he squeezes and he can feel the tension.
the feeling...is damn good.
CH-CHAK~!
the sweet sound of the camera shutter, snapping a picture within focus.
a sense of satisfaction with each accomplished shot.
though he realises the pictures might turn out bad, it doesnt matter.
its the first time, and its a matter of learning.
he will learn.
XD

Move On
remember
the words we said on the bus stop.
the date we had on that monday before work.
the days i visited u despite my deadline.
the time we held hands in the darkness.
the night i asked you the question.
the kiss we had beside the house of books.
the following days when we had our fun.
the date we had that ended in worry.
the 6 days of torture where i was left in the dark.
the words we said
ill never ditch you.
we can always work things out.
we want it to last.
not caring about what parents say.
we can talk about our problems and be open.
but yet.
it seems it all meant nothing anyways.
im sure its not forgotten.
so it just means...
that everything didnt mean much in the end.
thanx for the memories.
its time. to move on.
with that, ill finish this blog entry with 1 of my fav songs.
a rather old song i admit.
Roxette
- It must have been love
Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely,there's air of silence
In the bedroom and all around
Touch me now, I close my eyes
And dream away...
It must have been love, but it's over now
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
It must have been love, but it's over now
From the moment we touched till the time had run out
Make believing we're together
That I'm sheltered by your heart
But in and outside I turn to water
Like a teardrop in your palm
And it's a hard winter's day
I dream away...
It must have been love, but it's over now
It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without
It must have been love, but it's over now
It's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows
It must have been love, but it's over now
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
It must have been love, but it's over now

Know
am i being too caught up...?
i feel like im the one who ends up being more bothered.
sure, i like to take things easy, but yet i feel like im experiencing a one sided thing here.
theres a thin line that seperates passivity and disregard.
and i dont want to think about which one it is.
cos in the end. i dont know you at all.
and you dont know me either.
its onli a small gesture.
and its not like im demanding it.
its just that ive not seen you in days.
i miss u alot.
and i dont even know how ur doing most of the time.
all we have is a phone.
and all i have to remind myself of you are pieces of messages that barely contain any meaningful content in most of them...
and im sure its the same for you as well.
this is a matter of communication love.
you noe what i mean.

Li
an old friend of mine i knew since sec 2, wrote a blog entry for me.
her name is Peili.
she wrote it on friday after we had a talk on MSN.
i asked her how her life was, and i told her how i was doing.
because.
im supposedly her diary. and i always would see how shes doing.
but then as we grew up, we lost our innocence. and with that, the carefree attitude we had about sharing our lives.
i got to noe this great girl...through mIRC, 5 yrs ago, back in the days when it still wasnt TOTALLY infested with despos.
i chatted with her by chance, and got her email and her name.
i was realli so eager to talk to her more. it was exciting to get to know the person better.
what can i say. i was a litte boy who was over excited.
when she didnt reply my emails to her, i realli got anxious...i even thought she might be avoiding me.
but i found out later that...in the end, her email as well as her identity was false.
which was why she took so long to reply me. she used the email as protection from strangers she met online.
and i was fine with that. it cleared the misunderstanding i had.
well...as time went on, i was always concerned about hey she was doing.
and so as our friendship progressed, i became her diary.
her 1 and onli diary, whom she could tell all her thoughts and feelings. her secrets and happenings.
its like...i was always around for her somehow.
but as i said...as we grew up...the world got more harsh. and our innocence faded.
i wish to place the link to the entry she wrote for me.
here it is. (the text might be tiny.)
http://whatever-is-mine.blogspot.com/2006/08/dear-diary.html
well...i just feel like. im glad i helped her along the way of her life.
and that im so honoured.
and actually, i also feel like i dont deserve such incredible words from her.
i never realli thought...anyone would see me in such a way.
im truly, honoured.
thank u Li.
ill always be ur diary. dont forget that.

Kamikaze
i dread school now.
thanx to block teaching.
i used to love school.
even when it was tough.
cos there was such a thing as being human and having a break witout worry.
it was fun to work hard and have that well earned break at the end of each assignment/project.
even if we had to rush like crazies at the end of each sem,
IT. WAS. FUN.
now, i live through school to be a robot, when even relaxing is stressful.
to not have a moments freedom in my life other then school projects.
and when the work haunts me every moment, even when im slacking.
is this realli the life meant for every TDS designer?
i no longer feel like i have a proper life for myself anymore.
its onli school or the bed.
me and my PID mates stay in school 12 to 14hrs a day.
i sleep 5 hrs a day. and the rest sleep just as little as me or even worse sometimes.
the work is just constantly pounding the reminder that our deadline is DREADFULLY near.
we think logically, adding up what we have to do, how long will we take.
so far, everyone ive talked to doubts they can finish everything in time.
guess its just going to be another embarrassment to the standard of our work when we show our half done jobs.
and when the marks are moderated to suit the standard of our overall batch, if EVERYONE does a shit job, everyone STILL passes.
hows thats for pathetic?

is this realli the life meant for every TDS designer?
i no longer feel like i have a proper life for myself anymore.
its onli school or the bed.
me and my PID mates stay in school 12 to 14hrs a day.
i sleep 5 hrs a day. and the rest sleep just as little as me or even worse sometimes.
the work is just constantly pounding the reminder that our deadline is DREADFULLY near.
we think logically, adding up what we have to do, how long will we take.
so far, everyone ive talked to doubts they can finish everything in time.
guess its just going to be another embarrassment to the standard of our work when we show our half done jobs.
and when the marks are moderated to suit the standard of our overall batch, if EVERYONE does a shit job, everyone STILL passes.
hows thats for pathetic?

just charge!
about 1 week left. i want to state my mind of the final crit.
block teaching should not be used as an excuse for lousy work.
why waste energy talking about block teaching when we cant do anything about it.
just chiong and show our power. lets be strong!
its such a shame to our skills as designers if we cant be strong-willed. dont u think so?
for those who can still remember last fridays interim critique debrief, do any of u feel ashamed?
especially the comments from the ex-students.
its all about ur passion and will.
a lecturer said, its about 2 things. thinking skills and technical skills.
i believe hard work can make up for lack of inborn skill. and if ur not passionate enough for hardwork, then death awaits u.
whats wrong with other people being stressed? sure, people being overly stressed might affect others. but so what?
the point is NOT to let urself get stressed by external factors, especially from other stressed people.
being stress does not mean one is passionate in work, it just means one is unsure of his planning (which is pretty normal).
all we need to do is plan our future well and be flexible to changes on the go. everything should be handled calmly.
so.
lets all charge together!

Sweet Alias Death
Alias.
not the tv show.
im talking about the computer company that deals out software for professional commercial use on the computer *duh*.
ill be refering to a specific software of thiers named StudioTools (which if im not wrong, they bought over from another company). its used to make 3d models with very realistic effects. ever seen those ipod advertisements? or nokia handphone models? all done by Alias StudioTools.
the thing is, its starting to piss me off.
why.
1. Because the software can hang on u at any given moment, regardless of logical factors.
2. Because there is onli 28 or so licenses that the WHOLE *BLEEPIN* DESIGN SCHOOL can use at ANY given time or computer lab. thus, if 28 people are using the software already, no more then that will be able to use it.
3. about 70 to 80 PID 2nd years are using it NONSTOP during school hours to finish thier project. 70 to 80 people. remember reason 2.? 28 licenses?
4. since the license is so limited, people 'book' the licenses - first come first serve - and use it for DAYS ON END witout ever, ever unlocking the comp for others. i have seen the same comp locked by some people for a week already. this makes it all the more fustrating as the licenses used are LOCKED by others inside thier comps even when they are away or not using.
5. for those who dont noe, when u 'render' the model to make to make it look realistic, each time, it takes about 1 to 2hrs or so (some even 4hrs). and many, MANY times, the rendering is not what u want it to look like. this makes for an immense waste of time and productivity WAITING for the rendering to be done.
6. we onli have 1 week due to submission each time. thats onli assuming u dont take any breaks. and we have to print out the finished image on a board, and do a journal that explains the steps 1 by 1, with pictures of the steps given. this means a printscreen image every step of the way. it bloody pisses me off.
yes.
people can get in quarrels because of the tension.
the reason for this is, everyone else is DEFINITELY your competition in this.
if it wasnt obvious before, now its worse because this time, whoever BOOKS the comp first finishes the work. and since EVERYBODY is locking thier comps, no one gets to use it other then the BOOKERS. 28 people at any given time. 70 to 80 people in need of it desperately.
that leaves 48 to 58 PID year 2's desperatly trying to finish thier work but not being able to.
so what do they do?
some resort to begging those who have license.
some resort to restarting locked computers.
some just wait till a user leaves and asks if they can use. mind u, this waiting can take HOURS.
wadever it is, it is terrible and there is alot of stress and tension in the already cold air of the computer lab.
and buying more licenses has apparently been refused.
buying more licenses would resolve it but it seems thats not going to happen.
Battle Royale anyone?
not the tv show.
