 I miss hongkong, i guess what would probably be fun is to go with a bunch of friends, shop, have fun, laugh at each other's stupidity. I guess it's kinda difficult now, everyone's pretty busy, it's either ns, work or school. I'm currently on a minimalism craze, so do check out Normann Copenhagen's website. Simple, clean, really nice. And i guess to me, i will never relate simplicity to "lesser work". It's fucking bullshit. Did my usual workout, just that today i decided to add in a little basketball practice. Phew! i'm dead beat now. |

I just heard about something really unfortunate, not convenient to talk about it here i guess, and things are still not really clear yet. I just hope things will be fine tomorrow for you and your family, stay strong! Parade tomorrow, it's the 3rd in the month, i just hope it's the last for this month. All i can say is, things hasn't been going really smoothly. Good Night. |

Adizero CS  Always wanted a pair of nice running shoes, this came across my eye the other day. I will most probably get it, since it's on sale. Been listening to quite abit of Cosmosquad, and i think "The Long Walk Goodbye" is a very beautiful song. I guess i overreacted a little in my previous entry(bout the scoldings), anyway, good night! |

My Grandmother passed away last saturday, held a 3-day funeral, the cremation was yesterday, and i just came back from the collection of her ashes. Moved them to bishan's memorial ground(cemetery ain't the right word), had one last ritual before ending everything. I will cherish the memories of her, it's something really significant to me as we are quite close and all. The only thing i regret is not spending more time with her, swarmed with work and other stupid problems at that point of time. I have no one to blame but myself, for not realizing the severity of her condition. I miss your everything. It will forever be a shithole with shitfucks that have shits stuck up their fucking numbfuck skull. 2 years and that's it, i owe you guys nothing after that, nothing at all. I hope the number of death certs you shitheads receive tells you how many people are waiting for your fuckbutt's arrival. /phew, i'm ok now. |

Death by deathbed, wonder if that's the most peaceful way of leaving this world. Grandma's(mum's) been bed-ridden for the pass 3 days, you could say, almost in a coma. Intestinal complications after undergoing radiation therapy, been suffering ever since, immense pain that no one will ever understand. She's as skinny as a P.O.W now, no food, no nothing for 3 days, just dabbing etc. I can never understand what she's going through, but somehow, i know the time is near. She open her eyes every now and then, but always looking straight, and closes after awhile. It hurts to see her like this, i bet my mum feels worse, i just hope everything will be fine in no time, i guess it's all for the better. Leave peacefully, rather than painfully. She's probably the best, always bringing us food, be it pancakes, buns, drinks etc, all the way from Toa Payoh, always arrived in a near breathless (she walks fast and she has asthma). She's always on good terms with my grandma(dad's), and not long after my grandma(dad's) got diagnosed as having dementia, grandma(mum's) got cancer. Haven't really seen each other since then, except for new year's day i guess. I could have done so much more, could. I just hope she's sleeping peacefully, and will leave peacefully as well. God Bless. |

This is an excerpt from one of Celeste's blog entries. Beside my dad is this boy. Everyday I smile and greet him when I reach and leave the hospital. I was curious because he looked around my age and his head on the right is gone. Gone as in there is a huge dent where the brain used to be. Didn't want to be intrusive so I didn't ask and just smile at him everyday. We didn't talk until today. He told me he's 20, Phoe's age. An aspiring designer. He's a first year study in Lasalle, studying Communication Design. Since we had things in common, I continued talking to him. Two months ago, he fell at home, hit the back of his head and realised his left limbs could not move. He was sent to the hospital immediately and the doctors had to remove his right brain because he had a haemorrhage. His is a haemorrhage stroke because of the impact caused by the fall. He told me he rather they not remove it and let him die. Mummy also told me that sometimes in the afternoon, he cries to himself because he has been in the rehab for a month and the therapy isn't working. His sessions had been cut from daily to twice a week. When I saw that he wanted to cry again, I asked him about more design related stuff. Then he told me about the stuffs he had in deviantart, the modules in school that he hated, and the freelance he was doing before all this happen. And then he sadly said that his dream as a designer is ruined. It's really saddening, people should really be glad that they are fortunate to do what they want to do. At least i'm feeling this way really strongly right now. It's a pity, really. sigh. |

 It's been awhile, Crowbar Awards last friday, expected at most a bronze for my portfolio, and really did got a bronze. Only 6 awards were given out for the interactive category, 4 bronzes went to TP, 1 went to NYP, and 1 gold which went to The One Academy in Malaysia. I am quite glad that the student from One Academy didn't make it for the presentation, as towards the end of the showm the judges decided not to give out the "best of category in Interactive", not sure whym probably due to the lack of winners. But if i was the student, i will be devastated! Anyway, thanks to alot of people for the award, especially Ms Weena(for your guidance), Dz(for tweenlite!), Kun(for countless amount of inspiration and honest criticisms!), David(for countless amount of inspiration as well) and Hon tat(for your advices on everything!), they've inspired and helped me alot through the process, which i am grateful for! Thank you! Well, at the end of the day, it's still just a small thing, there's much more to work on! much much more! This is the 4th time i am getting into actionscript animation, and it's the 1st time i'm having so much fun, especially with drawing API. Ain't talking no more i guess. :) On a side note, it gets tiring when friends gets passive and all. sigh. what to do, i probably made a mistake that i don't even know of. -shrugs- Ok! back to "bitmap data"! it's 4:13pm! 1 and a 1/2 more hours to the end of work. Which means, jogging! :D |

 Was looking at cpluv earlier in the day, and i found this, a brief history of avant garde". Rather interesting, do check it out! Anyway, after 3 weeks of slacking, finally started doing some work over at Pioneer. Currently learning new stuffs, layout, print, working with content on publishing etc. Quite fun i have to say. I have nothing to complain about where i am now, pros and cons i guess, cons being the transport (time and price), and no cookhouse! So mainly, it's financial. Freelance on the other hand is uber boring! The current job i have is more like a maintenance kind, just updating and all. And the shittiest part about it is, the previous guy who did the website, did a shit job! The organising of the files is really bad, i mean, who the fuck use scenes to create websites already. Grr, it's ok, it's finishing soon, am not gonna take such jobs again. |

 Fever's finally gone for good. Still left a fucked up throat to deal with, would be good for the body i guess, staying off the fried, oily stuff that is. Started adjusting to waking up early at 6am, feeling quite zoned now, probably because i'm still recovering. All is still good for now i guess, i just want the 2 years to end fast, but yet, i do not want to waste it away. Started planning a little, still need some tweaking and all i supposed. Adjustments, adjustments, adjustments. People do that when they move on to new phases i suppose, and mostly, it's quite hard, though it seems really easy this time I don't have much to write, i probably just need a good rest (am currently in the supershag mode). So, good night! :D |

Polyclinic sucks big time, the doctors actually, gave me lozenges for my throat infection. Hello? Throat infection leh, INFECTION! Couldn't take it, fever shot up real high, went to my usual family clinic this morning. Doc gave me 2 days mc(which adds up to the 1-day mc polyclinic gave me), some meds (pacofen, nurofen etc). Feel so much better now, but still have slight fever. 1st week in Pioneer, and i already scored 3 days MC, not a very good first impression, i think. But couldn't help it, urgh. Will be touching on alot of indesign, time to start practising on it i guess, definitely still touching flash and all, that's where my freelances come in. And speaking about freelances, anyone have lobang!? I need cash! Seriously, was just wondering whether i'll be in Singapore for long, i suddenly have this urge to just leave this place, at least for a short period of time, well i guess that will have to wait, 2 more years i supposed. Ok, i guess i should rest for now, feeling really giddy now. |

 I couldn't sleep, so i watched August Rush. And it's one of the best movies i've seen this year, it's magical. I just thought the ending could have been much more elaborated, but it's good enough! The happiness inside still seems to linger on. :) |

Mutabor Design Agency   Great home site by Deutsche Design Agency, Mutabor. Both black and white refers to different aspects of design specialties they deal with. Very clean and simple layout as you click through the flash landing page, very nice! Was just surfing around for some clean and simple designs, as most of the time at Make, i was doing alot more gradient-like, reflective or somehow what the norm would refer as, "web 2.0" style design. Applicable for an upcoming project, and also would like to be as versatile as possible i guess. Anyway, the first batch of NS-men just went in! Gerald went in yesterday, Gary and Mawshin should be at tekong at this moment. haha, and yea, mine is in a week's time! Time to go botak! Been slacking this past few days, and working on freelance mockups. I hate clients who are demanding and pays like shit. Other than that, it's just slacking and everything. And yeah! I bought a new watch, Adidas. Have been eyeing for it since the 1st time i saw it few months back. The price is steep!(damage: $230) but it's the GSS! The discount didn't help much anyway. Shopping alone is somehow, quite fun at times. hur hur. |

It's been awhile since i blogged. Finally stopped work on last wednesday as i'm enlisting in 2 weeks time (16th June 2008). Learned alot, had alot of fun, put in alot of hours. The result is gratifying, and the experience is irreplaceable. Well, work's not totally over though, still have a couple of freelance projects to work on, and sometimes, all i hope is to be able to deliver on time. hur. Lots of things happened, i'm still in a dazed, i guess a big part of it is because i'm down with a bad flu and a really bad migraine(which recovered). And i still have some work that's yet to be done! I guess i gotta rush it all out tomorrow, and another meeting on monday. I guess it's time to get used to the "freelance" lifestyle. I kinda look forward to it, cept for "meetings", which totally bores me out. I realise i tend to get really tensed when i'm sick. I don't know why, i get easily agitated, annoyed, irritated. But nowadays, it's been easier to control, made some changes and all. Like i said, still dazed and confused. Soft and daze hearted as it may seems, i just can't seem to stop missing your smiles. They touch me, really. I just wish you will keep on smiling, that's all i ever hope for. :) Ok! i need to rest soon, cannot tahan already. urgh. |
