I love Toy Story 3

Watched Toy Story 3 with Stephanie and Grace last Wednesday. Had popcorn and fries at McD after the movie, got a sore throat the next day.

I love the movie. It's beautiful. :) Love the story.

Reminded me of my toys and my childhood. All the stuffs that has sentimental value to me. Toys that were given to me, toys that I bring around every where I go in my pocket, and other stuffs like tshirts, books, etc.

It also teaches me to let go of some stuffs and move on. Some stuffs that are gone, I should let go and move on.

Learned stuffs like loyalty and trust between friends, and what's the best for everyone.

I almost cried when they all hold hands preparing to die when they're in the garbage disposal factory.

Toy Story 1 2 3, all great :)

I'll try to watch 1 and 2 again some day.

A New Old Camera!

I bought a camera via ebay!

It's a Vilia camera. Made in Russia.

Bought it for US$0.03, and the shipping fee is US$19.90!

It's still in good condition :) Gonna load some film and snap some pictures with it.

Getting out of shape

After a few months of no exercise, I finally decided to go swimming again.

Recently I keep hearing people telling me I'm fat, well, now it's time for me to get back in shape... Hopefully I'll succeed in losing some fat. Maybe build some muscles too! :D I'll ask some tips for my friend Wee Kiat (Fabodylous Blog), he's the muscle guy.

I wonder how long it'll take me to lose some weight and people to notice that I've lost weight...

Recovery

Feels good to be mentally, emotionally, and physically healthy! :D
Next step, spiritually healthy.

What I've learned is that, in life, everything will come and pass.

Ex-girlfriend, tattoos and secret agent

Yesterday I dreamt of my ex-gf. She had a butterly tattoo on her chest and a row of tattoo on her belly, with names and symbols that represent her friends. My name was not there, haha. I felt like having a tattoo for myself, but when I woke up, heh, it’s just a dream, I don’t want anything permenant stuck on my beautiful skin. :p

I also had another dream, that I’m a special agent, killer or spy, I’m not sure. And I got a message from a female agent asking me to meet her at her hideout castle. I snoop around her castle, had hand to hand combat with her. It was fun. :)

iSlave

I'm an iSlave now. Playing with my iPod touch 70% of the time I'm awake. :p

Thanks to Ludwig, I have tons of games on my iPod for me to waste my time on. :D

Also, with wifi, I can check my emails, facebook, Twitter, msn and online gaming. It can almost replace my computer. The only time I on my computer is when I need to do my homework or work.

The Weird Beatles

I've never paid much attention to The Beatles band. I know they have some very popular songs, heard some of them, but I didn't know they have such weird lyrics. I've stumbled on a youtube video today, a song by Beatles, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, animation by someone else, it kinda shows that how crazy/weird/high the Beatles are.



Album: Abbey Road


Lyrics:
Joan was quizzical; Studies pataphysical
Science in the home.
Late nights all alone with a test tube.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine,
Calls her on the phone.
"Can I take you out to the pictures,
Joa, oa, oa, oan?"

But as she's getting ready to go,
A knock comes on the door.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead.

Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again.
Teacher gets annoyed.
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant
Sce, e, e, ene,

She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away,
So he waits behind
Writing fifty times "I must not be
So, o, o, o.."

But when she turns her back on the boy,
He creeps up from behind.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead.

P. C. Thirty-one said, "We caught a dirty one."
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Rose and Valerie, screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free
(Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them
So, o, o, o.

But as the words are leaving his lips,
A noise comes from behind.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead.

Whoa, oh, oh Silver hammer Man

The Beatles is now one of my favourite bands. :) Gonna check out more of their songs.

Weird Dream #3

I dreamt that I had toothache.

3 tooth came loose, and I pulled them out. The teeth has cavity... It was scary, black colour... :(

The first thing I wanted to do when I woke up was to brush my teeth. Haha. ('Cause sometimes I'm too lazy to brush them at night and went to sleep... :P ) But, since it was middle of the night, I was too lazy to get up and I went back to sleep.

STUPID BURGLAR!!!

If I catch that guy, I'll smash his face.

The last time he took my CD player and CD. I suspect it's the same guy because he broke the same window. Only this time, I've got alarm for my car, and the burglar ran away.

Weird Dream #2

Well, from now on, I'll try to record all the weird dreams I have here. Here goes...

Mom came home, gave me a fruit. I left it in the living room.

Then it's the Olympics. It's being held in Malaysia. I tried to go to the stadium to watch the opening ceremony, but, it was too crowded, I went to a cafe outside the stadium, watching the TV live broadcast the opening of the Olympic Games.

After that, I went to a place with lots of green (field, trees, flowers) to get away from the crowded cafe, and there a girl kissed me.

I was surprised and went home, saw that fruit mom brought home, and I took a bite.

Just then I noticed that the fruit is rotten, and there's worms inside, and in my mouth!

Then I woke up.

My first try (Photography contest)

YAY! I've got a consolation prize in a photo contest, organized by my college's photography club.

Well, the main reason I joined is because I heard/thought (my bad) that there's 13 lomo cameras to be given away. But, actually, there's only 1 camera, and the others are just design books and magazines.

Well, anyway, I've won a Territory magazine, volume 10. :) Yea, I know it's old, vol 11 just came out, but still looks nice. Even my friend who got 2nd prize wants my book. :P


By the way, here it is, my prize winning photo, the theme for the contest is "My Holiday":

Fighting & Result

Do not fight for something that you don't see the result. Do not fight if you don't wish to make a change. Why argue when they don't listen? Just prove it to them. Why argue when it makes no difference? It's a waste of time.

Sometimes stuffs have different solutions. Winning an argument or a fight doesn't make you a better person, doesn't solve the problem, doesn't make anyone really happy, only breaks relationships.

Take a few deep breathes, step back, take some time to think.

Maybe just list down the facts why you think your idea is right and also why is the other idea bad/wrong.

Recently I read a little from the book, Thinking Course by de Bono, it teaches about PMI to an idea. P=plus, M=minus, I=interesting. Plus, why is it good, etc. Minus, why is it bad. Interesting, for listing down the interesting stuffs that is neither good or bad.

I wish I can slow down sometimes. Take more time to think about stuffs. Take some time to think before talking or replying. Keep my cool... Everything will be so much different.

Insanity is keeping me alive these days. I don't know what I'm talking about.

Booklet cover for Lisa Chia

Eli and her friend asked me to design a booklet cover for their friend's graduation recital. They gave me a sketch, and some keywords, "antique style", "not too complicated", "growing flowers" (hoolanders). When I gave them the final product, Lisa was so happy with the design she told me to put my name there. XD

Here are 2 early drafts that i sent to them to choose from, then develop from there:

Everyone is an artist

Everyone can create art. Any kind of art, in any form. A drawing, a song, some words put together and you've got a poem.

I believe everyone is an artist. We're created in God's image, God is an artist, a creator, we also have the artist cell in us. :)

Some people might say that they can't draw well. So, let me tell you, drawing can be learned!

Just like learning a musical instrument, no one can play the piano once they're born. They have to pick up piano lessons, and then step by step, with practice, patience and passion, they can play a song and another song and another song.

You can teach yourself drawing too. Now at this you-can-get-almost-everything-from-the-internet era, do a little google search and we can learn some simple techniques about drawing.

I've met some people who never went to art school, but they can draw/paint very well.

Art college or no, drawing lessons or self-taught, I believe everyone can draw. Just practice. And maybe imitate/copy some of the drawings you see as an exercise.

Here's a like I want to share with you. Drawspace.com. They have some some free drawing lessons on their website. It's free to register. And they have some paid lessons too.

Man, I need to continue to brush up my drawing skill...

Merdeka!

Yesterday (31 august) was our national day.

Well, this year, there's no parade. (I heard it's because of Puasa (WTH?!? Puasa cannot parade ka?) and also H1N.) Feels like the worst national day ever.

Even on national day, lots of people still feel negative about lots of stuffs in Malaysia. Lots of complaints, unsatisfactory, hatred, racist... Well, this is Malaysia... All this complaints, unsatisfactory and stuffs will never seize unless everyone (all races) are treated equally.

Every time the country launches a program or something, there's always people who says good stuffs about it, and there's MORE people who says negative stuffs about it.


There's too much corruption going on in the government, it's affected the people to become more and more negative about the government. Sometimes it affected people to become unpatriotic, even worse, hate their own country.

Well, anyway, I LOVE MALAYSIA! But I don't really like the government.
