Of Studies and Time

was talking to 2 of the guys after training today and they asked me how many years i have left to go in NUS. told them that i had 2 more years to go and they said that it was a very long time and i agreed.

then one of them went on to say that he didn't regret not studying hard enough to get into NUS because the degree he got from SIM is giving the same salary as a colleague who graduated from NUS. the other went on and said that he chose not to go to NUS so that he could save time and not study for 4 years, when i was the one who helped with all the applications for NUS a few years back. im sure he would be saying otherwise if he got the acceptance letter back then.

it's funny how they were frantically applying to get into NUS last time.

i'm not angered by all this talk, it's just weird that people can just write off something that other people worked hard for simply with their own perception of how things are, failing to look at things in another person's shoes.

but then again, everyone's entitled to their own views i guess...

Glamor Kills

yet another poster design. im amazed at how i managed to churn this out last night despite having had very little sleep and a wretched headache after i went drinking until 6am the previous night.

i think i design best under little rest and undesirable physical conditions. maybe i should consider some activities before i do any design work. hmmm... haha.

C&Cs are welcomed for the posters! :)

Audition

i've been performed at numerous events infront of different sizes of crowds and i've never had a problem performing, at least i've never screwed up at any of my performances before.

just went for an audition at a music cafe just now and it's the first time that i actually screwed up during a performance. i guess the pressure of people scrutinizing you when you're performing is different from when people are just there to watch and enjoy themselves. i hope this will only haunt me for a few days. hopefully i'll still get through the first round of auditions since i only screwed up the last few lines. hope weiliat and cherylene meant it when they said that i did well except for the last part. *in self-comforting tone*

if i get through. i'll be ready. roar!

The Dark Knight

before i say anything, everybody, if you haven't seen the dark knight as you're reading this, you're highly advised to find your friends and watch that show as soon as possible.

i must say that this show is simply amazing, from the art direction, visual effects to the pace of the movie. gotham city was created to what i thought it would be -- dark and sinister looking, even in the day. it's been a while since i've been to a movie that is paced so well that i didn't even feel a bit restless during the whole movie (and the fact that i actually refused to go to the toilet when i needed to shows it too). christopher nolan has definitely done a good job in setting the mood and the pace of this movie.

an important mention of this movie would be the joker (heath ledger). his performance in the dark knight is simply oscar-worthy. heath ledger really brought out the psychotic and demented side of the joker and you can actually feel it as you're watching the movie. he had simply immortalized (heath ledger died shortly after shooting the movie because of a drug overdoes) the role of the joker and there can never be another batman movie with the joker in it. but whoever is brave enough to try to fill the role that heath ledger had left, better be prepared to take stick for anything that's less than perfect.

overall, i would rate this amazing show 5/5 and i urge each and everyone of you to watch this show, you won't regret it.

Random Update

finally got around my laziness to post something.

work has been mysteriously tiring, im not doing anything physical in camp, i just send tons of emails, make calls to arrange for meetings and actually going for the meetings. at the end of the day, i'll just reach home drained and just sitting infront of the computer screen, doing nothing, like what i was doing before i got myself to login and post this.

im still trying (i think..) to find out what is making me so tired, i don't remember being like this the last time round. maybe i haven't recovered physically from the sem, i still feel very weak and unfit but i always end up just whining over the fact that im unfit, like now. i seriously need to get a regime going soon, at least before school starts, so that i can follow it through when im back in school.

body's not exactly being kind to me, or rather, im not being kind to my body by not taking care of it, at least for ultimate wise. my knee feels busted, my back feels strained from my recurring slipped discs injuries. im on a low and a high at the same time, how messed up is that eh? im on a low because i can't play as hard as i want to, but at the same time, for some weird reasons, i somehow manage to get my throws back. yes, it's kinda like an ultimate dilemma, to stop or to keep on going when my throws are back.

lots of designing and brainstorming to do lately, just done with a cd cover and now i have to brainstorm for designs for TH DnD's poster and website, i hope eric has something already cos im pretty much having my face in the designer block. it's hell of a pain in the ass, but i guess i have to try to get around it.

here's the cd cover anyway, comments are welcomed:



of movies lately, wanted is good because angelina jolie is just sizzling HOT inside. hancock is pretty funny, think of a black superman, drunk. oh, and zohan is just hilarious, if you haven't watched it by now, wait for the dvd.

my camera is feeling lonely in my dry box and i really need to bring it out for a walk to take beautiful sights (esp beautiful people), so whoever's interested in taking photos with me or being taken by me, please ask me out. pretty good way of getting people to ask me out eh? hah. ok, that was totally random.

wait, isn't that suppose to be the point. being random. now, that was pretty random wasn't it?

ps: it never really did occur to me until recently but im reaching a quarter century in less than 6 months' time. so my friend was right, the older you get, there will be more things that will bother/scare you. and for me, somehow, age is bothering me a little, really, just a little.
