Just watched the MV of Paramore: Decode on youtube. Its the official Twilight soundtrack, which I'm really looking forward to catch it in cinemas. 

Well, anyway, before I saw this video, I only heard Paramore's songs, and I thought the lead singer, Haley Williams was some kinda of butch judging from her vocals. But I was so damn wrong, after watching the MV, she's actually quite good looking. And I love her hair. :) And she's 20! :P

Again the ultimate goal in my life is to Know Everything, Do anything.

I want to say "I can do that.", and not "can I do that?".

Got my pay yesterday. For once wah wah is on time. Went to buy some stuff today. Went to Bugis in the morning to buy a new bag, my old one is quite old and dirty, and I dont want to carry my backpack all the time, so I bought a Zinc duffle bag at Bugis Village for $30. Then in the afternoon went to Vivo with Sky to buy shoes, bought the Converse high cut shoes for $70, and a 4GB Sony thumbdrive for $20 at the IT fair.

Tomorrow, going to Bugis to buy some of my materials for my project. Got to start fast. Finish early, and touch up on my models. Then that will conclude my 1st year at SP. 

Finally Term 3 is over. TOD boards handed in, settled out stuff for critique next week, aww shit, critique's next week. And started on my mood box already. Mood box... no mood to do. 

Quite worried about the end of year project, they have really got me by the balls, and there's nothing I can do about it. Thats why I'm like a kan cheong spider, and even my tutor is quite tired of having me buzz him with all the questions on how to construct the mood box. Finished the mock up of the mock up model. Now just have to add in the designs. 

Wanted to skip GEMS today so that I can do more on my mood box, so that I wont have to be stuck during the holidays. GEMS is really a waste of time. And worst, the lecturer is damn boring.

We're only allowed to skip GEMS 3X before they send us a letter or something, and I skipped once a few weeks ago. Wanted to skip another today,  but Maureen kept on pestering me to go, and really found it quite irritating. And you know me, I crack under pressure, so I went. And what a waste of time it was. I did my sketches of the mood box there, and Maureen was dozing off.

And next friday is Elaine's wedding. And almost the whole Int. Design cohort is going for the ceremony at some church at Kovan. We as a class had to write our best wishes to her in any type of paper. Wanted to use sandpaper, but couldn't find one in time. And I think my class rep compiled the whole thing into some sort of scrapbook with all our best wishes for her and her husband. 

Oh and something really got me quite pissed this morning. I was on the bus, and my bag was partially open, and I didn't really noticed it. Until the bus came to a sudden halt, and one of my drawing pens dropped and rolled across the floor. Then this midget, bent down, took up my pen, gave it a few clicks just to check if it was working, put it into his shirt pocket and alighted with a happy look on his screwed up face. Sheesh! I was like too stunned to do or say anything. Well, screw him, I can always get another pen, but if I see him again I'll tie him to the MRT tracks and video him getting sliced. What a f**ked up experience.

Holidays are more or less burnt up. Think will have to make a few trips down to the studio to make the shophouse model and mood box, which is really crappy. 

Anyway, got my pay today. Finally will have the money to buy my materials. And today might be my last day at wah wah, since I'm going for the interview later at The Cavern. 

Hope I can work there.  :)

I need a rich girlfriend. Or a boyfriend.

Nah, I'd prefer a rich girlfriend anytime.

Bought my materials for the mood box already. Came up with some ideas for the design, gonna sketch them out and try to make a mock up by this friday.  :)

But. $#@%$#$%$#@.

Still left with so much other work to do.

Just when I thought I could have a well deserved 3 week break. More projects were thrown at us, this being the final major project for this academic year. Now I know why Elaine said that we had to prepare at least $500 for our project; there's at least 3 models to complete.

1st, a mood box. And the client is the designer or artist we researched on, mine is Michelangelo, who mati like half a millennium ago. So how the hell am I supposed to create a mood box to suit his needs?

2nd, a mock up model of a shophouse to suit the artist's preference and needs. My shophouse has got 3 damn stories. I really dont know how long I am going to take to build this model. And we are to put in some specific furniture and sculptures inside. All for the damn artist.

3rd, a detail of a wall, like how the wall is constructed, what materials are used. Using real materials, make a damn scaled detail of the wall.

And by next year we'll have to construct the real thing I guess. Shit.

So today Hobo told me he felt like he had been hit by a train when he realized how much work we had to do. Actually its kinda true. Really have that kind of feeling, getting hit by a truck or something.

But I actually feel different. There's this part time fat ass tutor in my class who does NOTHING, sits around and sprawls her fats all around. And that really pisses me off, cuz part of the school fees I'm paying is actually going into her salary. And what the hell. She comes to class. Sits down, uses the computer and doesnt do anything constructive. What a waste of space and air and what a freakin eye candy killer! Aww shit my eyes hurt after looking at that fatbag. 

Same goes for the farking manager who used to work at my place. 

So how do I feel after knowing how much work I have? Its like that fatbag, running at terminal velocity towards me, and colliding belly 1st right into me. 

Thats Force=Mass X Acceleration.

M= ~100kg?

A= 100m/s (she's running like a mad bitch whose ass is on fire)

F=10000N

   =1000kg

   =1 Ton.

Its like a tank, ramming into you.

And that fat bitch, you mind your own business, I stay this way, you kao pei with my works, I make sure I use a straw and make you suck your own fats out. Right out from your ass, down your throat.

Whats the difference between a 'slap' and a 'smack'?

Lets all tickle the tiko bobo hobo baggins. :)

Frodo Baggins was a hobo until he met me.

I turned him into a hobo.

His friend Sam was a tiko.

I tickled him and he became a faggot.

So I called Frodo a bobo,

And called Sam a fag.

They both like their new name.

So did I.

I took their ring,

and hooked it on both their balls.

They'd never have to be seperated again.

Damn sian, 2 of my HP laptop keyboard keys came out today, thanks to Sky who wanted to kay kiang, throw his wallet, missed and landed on my laptop. So went to HP service centre, which was at Alexandra Rd, and Jerkoff led us to dunno where, and we had to walk for a freakin hour, before finally reaching the service centre. 

And its gonna take 5 damn working days just to fix the keyboard keys, and its not covered by the warranty, but who cares, Sky's gonna pay for it anyway. So now am using my Acer laptop which is pissing me off again.

Today at school we received more assignments, Design Studio, Intech, Theory of Design, CADP all combined together to form a huge arse project, which should be our end of year major project. Got to spend more money on materials again...

Also, pay day's supposed to be this friday, but lets see when wah wah will give me my pay. Guess its my last pay from them, after this I'm gonna work at the Cavern as a bartender/waiter.

So suck it wah wah.  :)

Here's another post, cause I've finished almost all my work. And I'm too damn free. Going to the IT fair this friday, planning to skip GEMS, cause it's so damn boring. 

I guess I'm the complete opposite from normal people; they get the monday blues, and feel like a happy bird on fridays. I feel like a happy bird on mondays, and feel like a depressed piece of shit on fridays. Cause class starts at 8am, there's GEMS, CRS, and work till past midnight. And saturdays mornings there's work also. 

Who can blame me for hating fridays?

Anyway back to IT fair, planning to get a mouse for my sister, cause I've given my Acer to her already. And maybe also a new iPod, cause my current one's battery life is like under 2hrs. Give to my sister also. All my stuff, chuck them all to her.

Budget: $300. So the iPod nano

or the Creative Zen X-Fi?

Both are around the same price. 

Maybe I should go with Creative, since I'm getting sick of iPods.

Just got a call from The Cavern a few hours after insulting wah wah, and applying for the post of part-time bartender/waiter. They told me to go down this saturday for a interview. But dunno whether I should take the offer up. 

Bartender -> alcohol -> too much = trouble.

? 

Should I go for the interview?

Here's something new: eng wah's marketing and planning division has no brains to speak of. 

1st of all. They're the reason why eng wah just isnt able to compete with Golden Village or Cathay or maybe even shaw. At GV and Cathay, the patrons are allowed to choose specifically where they want their arse to be seated, but at wah wah (I'll call eng wah -> wah wah from now on), we choose where their arse will be seated. Most of the time they will kao pei like they went bankrupt. But its no use, this is wah wah, not GV, so live with it you suckers.

2nd, instead of a nice cosy theater where people can enjoy their movies, at wah wah, 30% of the time, there'll be no air-con, 20% of the time the show will get cut short cuz the staff all wanna go home early. 30%  there'll be no sound, just the flim,  cuz the projectionist would be busy playing with their PSP, or playing with each other, or maybe even themselves. So what you get at wah wah is a very F**ked up movie experience. 

3rd, GV and Cathay have nice staff and a box office. Staff there will politely greet you, and other stuff. And they are fast and efficient. Cuz maybe they are using new computers to sell the tickets. But here at wah wah, NOOOO! Staff like myself wont even give a shit as to whether you are a student, senior citizen or a fag. And we are damn slow, cuz wah wah's marketing division has no $$$ to upgrade the bloody damn P1 computers with those huge ass monitors to a sleek desk station. So what you get at wah wah, is a damn slow and agonizing moment getting your cheap paper tickets. And sometimes when it reaches your turn, who knows the damn com may just hang, and we will tell you to scram and come back later, if you want to.

Lastly, the way they decor the place, is just so fugly. Maybe it'll appeal to all the lau ah pek and ah ma, tikos maybe. But it just looks like shit. The whole damn place. Even if you were to pull your pants down and shit in the middle if the place, it'll still look the same, and smell the same. 

Now let me complain about the snack bar. As wah wah wants to save more money, he told all managers to tell the staff to cut down on the usage of the cheese for the nacho dips, and cut down on the amount of sugar used for the popcorn. And the popcorn already tastes like sugar covered cardboard, now it tastes like kerosine soaked cardboard. Even eating shit would be nicer. 

And the drinks, the coke tastes like shit, the coke lite tastes like shit with urine. The ice lemon tea looks and tastes like pee. The sprite tastes like soda water with shit in it. And the milo is just literally shit with sugar. Coffee is shit with hot water, tea is horse's pee and some ear shit form the tiko outside the building.

Nacho's are the expired ones taken form the garbage outside the 7-11. The cheese is pus from the blisters the NS men get. And the water used to mop the floor, which has shit on it, is used to wash the same cups you get your drinks in.

So wah wah, listen to me, and sack your whole damn marketing and planning team, and fill them with some useful people. And who knows, you dont have to close down this damn place after all.

Were the engineers and designers of Microsoft eating shit when they designed Vista? 

Cause now Vista is getting more screwed. And I'm the one eating all the shit.

Finally I feel so free -> completed my Art Loves Design assignment, came up with an idea for the product design. And there's no more work left.  :) For now.

Went to Jurong Library to meet Sky, Stickman and Jerkoff to discuss the product design. After brainstorming (brainmashing) for about an hour, came up with a idea on how to make the model. The model is inspired by some Digimon, and we designed a helmet with a water pad inside, to cover the user's eyes, and act as a massage pad. And designed a hand guard for the user to 'feel' his way around. Sounds complicated right? Cuz I also dont know how to explain. Maybe it'll be easier to just post some pictures. 

So before we started, we went to Cafe Galilee to have lunch, and what a rip off it was. I ordered a Chocolate Spin drink which cost me $4.20. And also some fries, $3.50. WTH. No money already... And Sky ordered some chicken and fish combo, and it was like some platter for 2, alot of stuff to eat, fries and onion rings included. In the end he couldnt finish and I took some. 

hehe.

Yawn... finally finished my research and compiling of Michelangelo's work and life. All into 3 A3 size boards. Gonna print them this wednesday if everything is ok.

My 1st piece.

2nd piece.

3rd piece.

Took almost 2 weeks to do this, maybe cuz I slacked alot, thats why took so long. And I have definitely exceeded the word limit of 750 words. Think there's about more than 1.2K here. Anyway this is due in like 2 more weeks, so I'm ahead of time. yay. Too tired to even express how I feel now, except I dead tired.

Later.

I'm starting to hate weekends. 

Reasons to be happy:

Done with Theory Of Design assignment research on Michelangelo.

Done with TOD seminar on Ancient Japan Literature.

Done with shophouse drawing.

Done with pavilion drawing.

Done with furniture drawing.

Came up with idea for some product design.

3 more weeks to holidays.

And a hell lot of movies to catch:

• Transporter 3 (1st Jan 2009)
• The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. (15th Jan 2009)
• Red Cliff 2 (22nd Jan 2009)
• Underworld: Rise Of The Lycans (22nd Jan 2009)
• The Punisher: War Zone (5th Feb 2009)
• Terminator: Salvation (28th May 2009)

And all those soon to come. I wanna watch them all!

And reasons to be sad:

Life sucks.   :(

More work to come.   :(

Running low on cash.   :(

.

.

.

and alot more...   :(       :(       :(

sigh...

3 more weeks to term break, and a few months since you left. Life really sucks without you.

Wished you were still here. 

This is my Christmas wishlist: 

A shit load of money. 

And someone who cares.

Is that alot to ask? I think yes, especially the latter.

My balless boss got money to buy a BMW, no money to fix the bloody air-con. Now I'm hot and stuffy while working at the ticketing counter. 

Wah wah wah.

New assignment: Do a research and a write-up on a famous artist or designer. And I think we must compile what we have found and mount on A3 boards, which is gonna cost alot of money again. Sian. I wish I had a shit load of cash right now. Who wouldn't?

So I'm gonna research on Michelangelo Buonarroti, 1475-1564. 

The name itself sounds cool. So is one of his works, The Statue Of David.

Gonna post my findings soon.

What another waste of time today. Real waste of time when I could be at home doing my AutoCAD drawings. Felt damn pissed in the morning. Here's why.

Morning 8am. Meet project group at Clementi. Went into Macs. The rest had breakfast while I helped Zheng Wei with his photoshop. At 10am, GL told us to go anywhere to measure shophouses. I was like WTF? You told us to meet here just to have breakfast? And then later go to Chinatown to measure shophouses? I could have slept longer! Sheesh!

Btw, we all have to measure the dimensions of a shophouse to draw in AutoCAD. 

So went to Chinatown to measure some shophouse with a airwell. We didnt know what the hell a airwell was, so we went into almost every shophouse in Chinatown to ask. Freak, suddenly it started to rain. So we went into the Heritage Centre. The guy at the counter was like a freakin ah quah who had his balls cut off. Said things so slowly I felt like reaching across the counter and punching his face. And he also said to go in, have to pay money. WTH.

Student price: $4.  I give you 1 tight slap across your face.

So we continued, finally found a shophouse that had a airwell. The owner was kind enough to let us in to measure everything. Joe took photos of the place while me and PW measures the place. Agar agar measure, then went out.

Finally when we were done. I sat outside, slacked a while, while the girls went to a kopitiam to buy coffee for the owner, as a way of showing their appreciation. Wah, so thoughtful, I'd never have thought of that.

And its good to be the IC of my group. As you can self dismiss although the work is not complete. Well, thats what I did. 

Was supposed to meet the walking stick to go print the photos. Dunno why his group was like so slow, so I went to VivoCity 1st to slack. Then about 1.5 hrs later stickman called and told me to meet him at PS. Went there, met Zheng Wei on the way. So went together. Had lunch, then went to Piss Centre to print our photos.

Damn ex, we had to print A1 size, and all were like $22. So we tried looking around some more, finally found a shop that had student special. $15. We each had to print 2 pieces, and there were 6 of us. So 12 altogether. 

And the printing process was the most agonizing moment I had. 2 hours of waiting. Nearly felt like punching someone. 

2 hrs later, took photos, went home, did my AutoCAD drawings, until I nearly puked.

What a day. 

I think I'm in love.

with Hello Panda Choco Cream flavour.

And anyway, today more work was given to us. We were spilt into groups, each group to measure up a shophouse and then draw the plan, elevation, section and site plan on AutoCAD. All in 3 weeks. Shucks.

So on wednesday we're going to ChinaTown to measure up some shophouses, take photos, and then draw. Wah, damn alot of work.

And today I tried putting my photos together using photoshop, and it lagged like hell. Tried doing on my Acer and everything went fine. But on my HP, it lagged and lagged. Maybe its because I'm running it on Vista with only 2GB of RAM. 

So decided to go install XP on my laptop, but then found out that XP doesnt support my HP's graphics card, and I bought this laptop for its graphics. So heck, gonna stay with Vista. And maybe upgrade the RAM to 4GB.

Ah, I love my HP's graphics; Nividia 9600GT, 512 RAM. Nice huh?

Ok, something's happening to me; I'm beginning to hate math and science, but starting to like art, design, photography. Which was the opposite a few years ago.

Maybe math and science is to technical. 

And art is just so abstract.
