random thoughts currently: sometimes, too much of a good thing is a little straining on the nerves. i understand what you're trying to say, and sometimes i feel it too, believe me. am i being too much of a people-pleaser? it's overwhelming trying to satisfy so many peoples' conditions at a go. bullshit can only be tolerated so much, until you find yourself sitting in a cesspool. can i really trust your words this time? i think i'm gettin really irritated. how tough can it get, trying to coordinate ten people together to sit down and have dinner for a couple of hours? of course, there're the people who don't respond to messages, there're the people who don't confirm anything until the last minute, there're the people who confirm but back out at the very end, there're the people who back out for silly reasons, there're the people who couldn't care less, there're the people whose necks i just really want to shake.

seems like i'm posting on a very frequent basis nowadays. good or bad? good because i have short-term memory loss, and i can remember things if i post 'em here i guess. bad because i can't talk about sensitive issues without getting flamed. had a lil self-bitching session today. oh yes, verily, bitching about yourself. or myself. whatever. and i wasn't alone. : D you've been showing a bloody irresponsible attitude towards school. mebbe it doesn't get to the others, but it does to me, i need to apologize to Sam x Audrey, i'm sorry, i made empty promises, words i can't keep. i won't be able to pass you guys your codes tomorrow [or rather, today] because of my irresponsibility towards homework. and holiday homework, at that. and i won't be able to pass you guys the shoes you wanted, because of my procrastination. and it's making me bloody uncomfortable and negative. i don't like it when you start putting on that couldn't-care-less attitude *sobers up and crawls into a cupboard to grow mushrooms* and it seems to me that the only reason you come to school is to bloody eat. and because i'm afraid i'll snap in front of you, *enters HYPER mode* i'm avoiding you like the plague. which, just mebbe, you don't notice because you're too busy asking "eh let's go Koufu/Macs/random eatery". WEGOTABOOTH WEGOTABOOTH WEGOTABOOTH WEGOTABOOTH whatever. screw SCC admin, dragging us down to the pits of disappointment when we look at our almost finished barely-there sellables and our nonexistent confirmation email, and suddenly poof, confirmation email yesterday. *stabs* but what matters is that WEGOTABOOTH. of course, it cost bloody 60, but WEGOTABOOTH. and i have to go down to Golden Mile Complex [which is like, so ulu] and pay up and register and do shit [what if it's a scam? oh noes] but WEGOTABOOTH. i've been feeling extremel irritable and annoyed these few days, and it's erupted into anger. just mild anger, mind. i haven't blown up yet, but i just might.

The world isn't fair. It never was. "Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a "He that readeth good writers and pickes out their flowres for his own nose, is "Art is either plagiarism or revolution." "My books need no one to accuse or judge you: the page which is yours stands up "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the random quotes. some of them make sense, and some don't. not to those who don't know what i'm talking about anyway. but i'm sure most of you do. [i just liked the first one. : D] Plagiarism is something that doesn't apply only to written works. it applies to art as well. No self-respecting artist would ever think of copying someone else's work/idea and passing it off as their own. No self-respecting dancer would record another artiste's moves and pass it off as their own. No self-respecting musician would steal another band's lyrics or notes and play it as their own. Even in secondary school, plagiarism is considered extremely serious. Teachers have always warned, if you're going to take information from a source, cite the source. Never pass the information off as your own, you're not that smart. Same goes for everything else. Plagiarism only shows 2 things: One, the person who copied was an idiot who couldn't come up with their own ideas because their brain cells are just simply, not, there. Two, look at number one. Any artist with any ounce of dignity would therefore feel offended if they see their work being plagiarized and, worse, passed off as the offender's own. That, really, is the ultimate insult. Not citing credit may be justifiable, perhaps through short-term memory loss or whatever. Claiming credit is injustifiable. Let's take a look at a purely fictional case study: Person A tries their best to think of something original and unthoughtof and presents what he feels is a representation of his idea. Person B stumbles upon an artpiece which amazes them and therefore decides to pass it off as their own and presents it. Person B gains a higher hitcount and popularity votes due to "their" idea. Is this injustice? I think so. Why do people plagiarize? Are they that desperate, that they have to resort to stealing others' works to gain fame and all that bs that comes along? Have they ever thought about the original artistes, who no doubt feel indignant and hurt that their works have been stolen and passed off as others'? Plagiarizers are rather selfish people, if you see it this way. It seems like for that goal they want to achieve, they do not reserve any concern nor empathy for those original artists, whose blood and sweat have gone into their labor of love. Plagiarism is the enemy of many artistes out there. Working so hard to achieve something that you had thought of, only to see that a week later, someone "creates" the exact same thing and gains better criticism than you. Plagiarism is the thorn in Originality's side, and yet it is something that will no doubt be there for a long time to come. It's time to dish out credit, people. And some karma.

IN SEARCH OF THE HOBO that elusive creature that dwells in urbana Hobo {noun}: Hobo is a term that refers to a subculture of wandering homeless people, particularly those who make a habit of hopping freight trains. The iconic image of a hobo is that of a downtrodden, shabbily-dressed and perhaps drunken male, one that was solidified in American culture during the Great Depression. -wikipedia Today, hotshot reporter Carissa and her [not that faithful but willing to go along for the heck of it] news crew are on the prowl to catch sight of one of these hobos! this particular hobo we caught on camera was a native of local urbana, but he had recently been moved to US urbana for educational purposes. would he be able to adapt once more? 1st SIGHTING: Yamaha
here, you see him checking out guitar strings. the crew kept their distance, wondering if it was safe to approach. what if he ran for it?
he turned and spotted us! note the shaggy unkempt hairstyle, finding nemo shirt and that HARH? expression. this particular specimen, we concluded, was evidently a nocturnal creature from his tumbled-out-of-bed aura.
Carissa [not so] discreetly follows as he moves on to another part of urbana! the news crew fidget nervously behind the camera. what if the hobo got lost?  Carissa got sidetracked by candy. where's the hobo?!  Carissa refuses to budge without her candy fix. NOOOO~ Carissa the hobo's on the move! 2nd STOP: B&Js  Seraphine, our [not so prominent but kinda useful when you need someone to poke] co-worker giggles excitedly. her chance to sit right next to the hobo! [what's he doing in B&Js? beats me. ] he's studying the menu now.. just look at that intense concentration..  Seraphine: hi everyone, i'm Seraphine, and i'm cute. yay.  *big gasp* oh noes! what's the hobo doing being so vulgar? is he trying to communicate with us? *cough*look at his elbow*cough*  yeah, i'm good. good hobos deserve exclusives like these. >: D  no, that ain't a zombie with a talisman, it's Carissa holding up tickets for F4! sadly, no cameras were allowed in the theatre.  meet issac. he's our *insert misc term* co-worker too! golly gee. he gets an exclusive shot with the hobo! [because there aren't much shots of him. : D]  come on, you know you want to.. NO. says the hobo. and apparently decapitates himself.  "no, see, the hobo's handsign for peace was this, and you did the sign for i wanna eat you, which is why he tried to use that emergency tactic to escape from you.. "  "random shot!" both turn around and strikes a pose instantly  "oh noes, no pictures, no flash! [my skin can't take it]"  "i wonder where he's going next?" oh well. who cares. XDDDD  GROUP SHOT!! [wth is with my mouth. damn.]  [nicer?] GROUP SHOT!! and that concludes the end of the exclusive of IN SEARCH OF THE HOBO. for more enquiries, please contact Carissa. if you would like an autographed photo of the hobo himself, do contact us as well. : D ok that was just kinda mean of me to do stuff like that. but anyways, WELCOME BACK JEREMY. : D i guess this is something like a welcome gift thing? it's been so long since we had fun [and a little at your expense] : D

not the raging, exploding red-hot kind, but the icy cold white frost kind. [personally i find the latter type of rage way cooler, and if there's one thing i learnt, it's not to get too worked up and let it show.] if you hadn't sent that sms, i would probably have said 3 very ugly words to you. and it's certainly not "i love you", more along the lines of
i know it's not your fault. i won't try to accuse you of anything. i'm just man, i really need to focus.
20070620 : 9:57 PM

20070618 : 7:59 PM
tell me, how can one be super high and super pissed off at the same time? let's start with the highness. have you ever gotten that feeling of wonder, of nolstagia, of overwhelming joy, of simply a feeling that everything was so simply beautiful in the world? i had it last friday. it was on the NSL, somewhere between the Kranji/Khatib stations, i think there was a stretch of almost wildlike greenery, untouched by modern mechanics. but it wasn't the lush path of wilderness i was interested in, no. i was lost in my thoughts as usual [some people call it stoning XD], when i happened to look up just as the train emerged from the shadows of some random industrial estate. the sky hit my eyes, and the clouds erupted. i was entranced, unable to tear my eyes away from the clouds billowing and hovering in the distance. not a patch of blue, not a single gray, it was just white silhouettes dancing with the sunlight. i could see mountains, castles, a little girl chasing her sheep, mermaids tossing their hair, palaces with a hundred windows, .. nothing existed within that exquisite moment. it was just me, the sky, and the silent rumbling of the almost-empty train. i stared my fill, and yet it was not enough. hungrily absorbing, trying to fix the memory of what i saw forever, quite forgetting that i had a camera in my bag, had i but been able to reach in and grasp it. no pictures, no photographs can ever quite capture that feeling, i suppose. but the train sped into darkness of a tunnel, and the fascinating moment was lost within the roar as the carriages rushed past the wind. am i hallucinating a bit too much? oh well. oh yeah, PLAY! -a video game symphony- was "f-ing awesome"in the words of Victoria. i couldn't say less. it was an absolutely brilliant performance, although i'm no expert. i was completely riveted when the orchestra played One-Winged Angel. and oh my gosh i managed to see Nobuo Uematsu! not in person of course, but hell. the man's a genius. oh yeah, had my fill of beginner's luck today at lunch, when i played Taiti with Clarence, Sam, Alvin and Audrey. [XD] ohohohoho. i'm getting addicted! and now, the ghastly horrifying things that completely threw me off. who on earth pays $400 for a bloody CD containing over 60 photographs? so what if the photos were from the family shoot? so what if the shoot was held on vacation and we couldn't specially fly all the way there to choose the 14 shots for the damn album? you could at least USE YOUR EYES and pick em! or let them pick! i'm sure they wouldn't want their studio's rep to be tarnished if they picked horrid ones! and even if you were rushing for time, the photos weren't! what's the GAWDDAMN BIG DEAL?! if you don't feel the pinch, I DO! and it's not even my money! gawd damn it, THINK. and i heard you were kicking up a big fuss like you usually do because of their [too slow for you] process in burning the photos. LIKE, HELLO? what, do you think these photos are VGA? getting shot in a studio means highquality shots! meaning, not your damn average digicam max. filesize!! get that in your head! do you think burning is a 3-second process? with that bloody attitude of yours it's amazing you don't get targetted for mugging!! *takes a deep breath, lets it out* ok, i'm cool. i'm cool. stay cool. be cool.
20070616 : 9:38 PM
oh yeah, just realized i haven't updated about my trip. another one of those not-so-holiday-mood-kinda vacations, prolly because we go there too often, and we see almost nothing new, because our basic motive is to SHOP. wakekekeke. yeah, it's tough being the only guy [aka my dad] in the family, because that means he ends up carrying all the packages when we go spreeing. XD some shots from the trip, and some from the Class BBQ. sad that i had to go home [too] early. awwww. BUT i had fun playing BRIDGE!! oh and Taiti too. [issat how you spell it?] i feel like i've missed something important when i was away. somehow, i feel.. excluded. maybe things will get better, but.. i dunt know. why does this always happen to me?  i really love this shot. does it look like the waves on the ocean? it's not. it's the rain that greeted us in GZ.  i've always wanted a shot of this board at Changi. one day, i wanna be rich enough to just stand in front of it, close my eyes and just point randomly at a destination and buy a ticket there, no questions asked.  some weird thing that's apparently edible, because it was found in a restaurant. D:  SNAKES! in a restaurant, not on the plane.  i think they're octopi. i think.  WORMS for dinnah anyone? XP  上下九.. the street where we stay. [you can see the hotel in the distance]  上下九 at night  上下九 again! this time there's a clearer view of the hotel.  i forgot the name of this street, but it's like Bugis St, only longer, more airy, and larger. there's also another street specializing in lingerie, but i dint take a shot.  haha a giant version of this familiar .. uh potion.  another shot of 上下九 at night! BBQ Shots  Dinky having fun on the swing!  me looking spastic and screaming my lungs out on the swing  me, Chrissy and Finny!! *hug*  me, Chyechye and Charr. Charr is GLAMDOM.  Finny trying to use her pyschic skills to get the best deck of cards so we can PWN. *yawn* ok, i gotta go back to my drawing now.
: 11:23 AM
i think i'm being oversensitive. thanks for making me feel so stupid for asking stupid questions at the wrong time. i know i'm being oversensitive. i get hurt too easily by what people say, i know that. i'm sorry for being oblivious.. to all the much more important stuff like the portfolio and the various modular assignments that we gotta do. i promise i won't ask anymore.
20070615 : 11:11 PM
more random shots from the post before i went abroad and blogger got screwed. :D

20070607 : 9:11 PM
GAHH. i haven't done my Drawing homework which was due 7 hours ago, and thankfully there's DESFD tomorrow so i can hand it in with a big fat sigh of relief and leave for my flight. XD dear FOUR+6: you know i really love you guys, and i really don't wanna make you guys worry too much about me or anything, which is why i try to keep my bad eating habits secret. XD that really wasn't much of a substantial excuse. but really, the way i eat has nothing to do with what Kiwi said. NOTHING, REALLY. i just got really jittery and i just really, really, did not feel like eating. really. and i got hit with an emo wave, so it's kinda hard for me to eat if i have really no appetite and if i'm thinking about other worrying pressing.. stuff. really. so enjoy your food, don't let me bother you with my weirdness. really. there's 13 reallys in here, including the one after this sentence. really.

D: oh well. i shall try to upload them tomorrow or something. ps- did i mention i went to Flash&Splash with Finchan and fell in love with the Emily stuff all over again? yeah, i know i'm not supposed to, Emily has become so lian-ish, but i couldn't help myself.
