Dead, dead...then resurrected

Why dead? It's the word that describes my blog, in which I haven't been updating for a very long time. One friend even told me, " Your blog is so dead, please update it lar." Wow, you know, I thought no one reads my blog.....maybe its because its so rare to get comments from people that gave me that thought. Lol...

Let's see, where to begin? Ah yes, CNY....
Went back to Malacca for the festive season, had a blast of CounterStrike and Karaoke (yes, I sang for the first time in front of people, and had a hilarious time), red packets ahoy, and enjoying family moments, big time!

Then, a few days ago, I had my last individual presentation. It was not until the BIG GUNS of Dasein came to criticize my artworks. The repeating and expected downfall feeling came a second later after each critique. Oooi...

But I'm not disappointed, at least I've learned something from their cruel remarks. Now, I can become a better designer for the future... :)

Who knows what the future holds for me.... Or for you.

But I know one thing for certain....



I should get a Mac. :P

1 year later....we found it!

This day has to be a marked day in my life's journal. After 2 years since it was released, I FOUND IT!! The very rare, Same Same album.

It is rare because it was released mostly in SouthEast Asian countries in 2006 such as Thailand, Philipines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Most of us Malaysians never really known them because they were never mentioned in our broadcasting medias.

Now, who are these 2 people that I'm talking about?
Does the name "The Moffatts" ring any bells? If you were a fan of theirs in the late 90's, you'd probably would know who Bob and Clint is. Yup, they're the band. They're identical twins, so the name Same Same fits their description quite literally.

Do check out their Supermodel music video, and you'll see why am I talking about them:

Their song "Without You" featuring our very own, Jaclyn Victor:

My brother and I have been hunting for their album ever since we heard about it early last year.
From Mid Valley, to Jaya Jusco.....pain in the ass, this album. And finally today, by luck, we've found it. Where?

........at Carrefour Wangsa Maju. SHIT!!! @#!*!!

New, and final semester.

The final semester begins. Man! It's hard to believe that it has already been 2 years since I started here. How time flies...

I remember when I first came here. I was the ever-so-quiet English boy, very nervous about the whole new environment. In fact, I went there alone, without my high-school buddies. Brave thing I did, eh? Haha...

Ok! Reflection time. Hmm...let's see:

Indulged into a new community
What a shock to find everyone speaking Chinese and Cantonese. Oook, emm...acceptable. But it's kinda hard to interact with them. Thank you. If not for them, I wouldn't have improved my Chinese, at least a little. You know what they say: A little goes a long way.

Met new people
This has got to be the most memorable part of my journey. I don't know how I managed to communicate with them, since they're Chinese-ed, but I'm glad I did. And plus, my English is deteriorating... A few books should patch things up!

Learnt new things
As a result of 2 years studying at Dasein, I'm now familiar with the Mac OS operating software, graphic softwares Adobe Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop, Flash 8 animation software, sketching real life pictures and figures, and many more. Oh! And a thing or two about having a crush on someone. Hehe...

I like my college. I love it very much, and I'm glad I studied here.

So now, in my final semester, I have a few more things to learn:

-Holding an exhibition
-Creating a new brand and promoting it
-Building a website
-Advanced English
-Doing TV Commercials

I really hope this time, I'll give it my best. Good luck my classmates!

Distress call at 8.30pm 30/9/08

Dad's phone rang
Dad (in Hokkien): Hello? Har? What's wrong with Ah Ba?
(silent for quite a while....)
Ok... (puts down the phone)
Dad: Hey, we have to go back tonight, Ah Kong is sick. (sounded sad)

A chill ran down my spine. What? Something wrong with Ah Kong?

...............

2 hours later, we're at grandparent's place. Everyone was there. Turns out that Ah Ma tried to wake Ah Kong up for dinner. But, he couldn't wake up. Like he's in a deep sleep, and 10% awake. He slept through the whole night right up to the next morning. Dad sent him to the hospital, along with my aunts and my cousin.

Hours later, results were out, and it turns out that Ah Kong's salt levels were very low. Thank God it wasn't something serious. He's ok now, discharged from the hospital and recovering fast.

A really, really close call.

A movie, and a coupla side adventures

What a day! It's already Monday, and there's still many people shopping for last minute Raya shopping. Haha... I guess there's still time, eh? It's not Raya yet.

This day has been fun. The 3 ex-Schoolketeers take on the day. Well, we're missing one though. Joel's busy...Leaving Tim and John with me.

Here's the thing: I checked the schedule for The Love Guru showtimes at TGV.com. 2.45pm? Cool.
Location? Should be KLCC, that's where we will go for movies. Then, at the LRT station, John asked, " So, we are riding to the Bangsar station....." WAIT!! Hold the brakes!! Bangsar station?! Stunned, he answered me," Huh? You didn't know?". Neither of them told me! Haha... " Dude, the movie is not shown today!" Hmm...come to think of it, I didn't see the location of that exact showtime...

" Ok, let's ride to KLCC and see if they're showing the movie or not.", John said. Ok, we went.
Then......





No Love Guru. Darn.





I can hear him in my head, "I'm gonna kill you!" Turns out that the movie showtime on the website was meant for Seberang Prai cinema.....What a waste of RM2 LRT trip.

So, we went to Mid Valley instead to catch the movie. Found a new way there: Wangsa Maju LRT to Bangsar, then free shuttle bus to Mid Valley.

Just finished fixing my old Web Buster! It's an invention of mine that I made when I was in secondary school. Check it out!

Holiday starts, college stops (for awhile)

It's been ( 29 August - 14 Sept= 16days) 16 days since my last post. It's a Sunday, and I still feel drained from waking up early in the morning. Maybe I didn't nap in the afternoon, because I can't. Not that I force myself not to, but I just can't.

Went to Jaya Jusco, Wangsa Maju, again, after mass. This place is really starting to bore me as I've been coming here almost every Sunday. Probably since I was a kid, too. I lived in Wangsa Maju once, it's where I grew up. Now almost 17 years later, I have to put up with my small brother's nuisance of going to MPH Bookstore every Sunday in the shopping mall. -_-"' I'm going nuts here...

There's a new attraction for him today- arcade center. Spent about RM10 on tokens (RM1 for a token, can you believe it?!).

When we came home, I went straight to bath, then tried to take a nap. As I mentioned earlier, it didn't work. The problem with having a little brother is, you can't help to feel annoyed by him. Every little thing he does, it just seems to annoy me. I don't know why. I met a girl at some dinner event once a long time ago (There was no one to talk to), she also couldn't help to feel annoyed by her little brother. Strange, isn't it? Maybe there's a common and significant behavioral pattern to this ( It is possible, I don't know). XD
