Hi all… I’m still here.

I have work to do. A LOT of work.

I’ve calculated. I slept an average of 4 hours for the past 3 days. Horrible. (=.=)

It’s like every time we finish one project, we heave a sigh of relief, and then we think of what are due in the next few days, we start to worry again. One after another… seems like we can never finish clearing.

Never mind, don’t talk about school liao. I came here to relax.

Oh yes, by now all of you should know that I am 1 year older again!

Some people asked me how I was gonna celebrate, but seriously I did not put much thought into it. Hahaha.

Is turning 21 such a big deal? Well yes, we are officially recognised as an adult, we have the responsibility to take charge of our lives, but isn’t that what we should have been doing all along?

I sure know I have. Being 30 will be a significant milestone for me I’m sure, but that’s 9 years from now.

Differences now are that:

• I no longer need my parents to sign consent forms when I’m going for a field trip (I have 1 tmr, yeay!)
• My papa has transferred all rights of my insurance package to me
• And the organs donation? I think I may wanna donate some extra organs… like my lungs. What else? Hmm.
• R21 movies here I COME!!! I haven’t watched Lust.Caution!!!

So on to how I celebrated… I know some people are curious, they just can’t stop probing, but sorry to disappoint (or not), I have told you the truth - it was no fancy affair.

When the clock struck 12 on Friday, I was still doing my projects. Some messages started coming in, and I decided to sleep early that day.

Woke up to more messages, one from my mother. LOL.

I stayed home that day (Saturday), continued doing my projects from morning till afternoon. Don’t say I’m boring, I’m just being a responsible adult! I sure as hell do not want to screw up my first few days (or worse, weeks) of my life as a 21 year old.

In the evening my boy, aunt and cousin came over to have dinner with my family. My mother cooked a spread - all my favourite dishes.

I had a great time with the people closest to me, eating, laughing and just being me.

So I’m thankful, because I know there are people who genuinely want to make a dedicated day special, just for me. And they care whether I smile from the deepest part of my heart.

And I did.

Me and my lovely cake!

So I thank you all - everyone who have genuinely wished me a Happy Birthday. It made me smile too. (^_^)

I’ll upload more pictures next time when I have more time on my hands. Which is about 2 to 3 weeks later. Heh. Till then!

Hello everybody, Bear Bear is back to blog again. Yesterday night, master Derrick came to leave a birthday message for master TingTing, so you all must think that I am here to leave a message for her also right? This time you all are wrong. I am here to say happy birthday to myself!

Happy Birthday to Myself!

Actually I do not know the actual date that I was born, neither do I want to think about it because it must all have happened at some dark and dirty factory in Thailand. Although Bear Bear is smelly, but I dun like dirty things one ok. I am actually very clean, but I just dunno why I am so smelly. But never mind, Derrick and TingTing loves me all the same.

Back to the topic. I do not know when I was born, so how do I have a birthday? Actually its because I was brought into TingTing’s live on the 16th of August 2003, so that became my birthday. And that also makes me 5 years old today, but if we take into consideration the multiplier effect on the age of furry creatures, I should be somewhere closer to 25 years old, so that kinda make me older than TingTing… -_-”

After saying so much, the point is no one came to wish me happy birthday! Derrick forgot all about me! He wish TingTing happy birthday only, but never wish me! He buy presents for TingTing but never buy for me! He is bringing TingTing out for a nice birthday dinner but he is not bringing me! Hmmph! So what to do, I have to come wish myself happy birthday loh.

Ok, I have said all I wanted to say already, so I must go back to being a good Bear Bear, and at the same time, I want to wish TingTing a happy, happy, happy, really happy birthday. I wish that all the bad people go away, dun come and disturb TingTing, only the good people come and accompany her, so that she can stay happy. I also want her know that despite throwing me on the floor every other night when sleeping, I still love her very much =p.

Everyone else looking at this post, dun forget to wish TingTing a happy 21st birthday okie.

I may know how to write software, but I am no hacker. Its just that I have other means of logging in to leave a birthday message for my girl.

I chose to stick to this simple title, for simplicity speaks for itself.

There is nothing more important in this world than happiness. Even Mastercard acknowledges that its little pieces of plastic can’t buy happiness. Hence the first word - Happy. The people in your life could not buy happiness, you could not buy happiness, but you gave happiness to them all the same.

21st follows Happy, for happy times have been following you for the last 20 years and there is no doubt that your 21st will want to follow happy times in your pursuit for a fulfilling life.

Birthday completes this simple sentence, just as at the day of your birth, the lives of many surrounding you were completed.

Derrick

YOU KNOW WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?

MY WARDROBE, THE ONE THAT I KEEP MY CLOTHES IN?

THAT MAID, THAT FUCKING MAID IN MY HOUSE,

TOOK OUT ALL MY CLOTHES,

THEN TOOK THE NEWSPAPERS,

NEWS-FUCKIN-PAPERS,

AND

LINED IT AAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL OVERRRRRR MY POOR WARDROBE,

AND LAID AAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL MY PRETTY CLOTHES ON TOP OF THOSE FUCKING STINKY NEWSPAPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW MY WHOLE WARDROBE STINKS OF THE NEWSPAPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I THREW OUT ALL MY CLOTHES THAT WERE IN CONTACT WITH THE NEWSPAPERS.

I WAS SO FUCKING ANGRY.

I AM KANSILANG KNN FUCKING FUMING NOW.

I CAN JUST KILL HER IF I’M NOT BOUNDED BY LAW.

CAN ANYONE BE SO STUPID?

YOU TELL ME LAH, WHAT DO YOU USE THE NEWSPAPERS FOR?

TO LET YOUR DOGS SHIT ON IT RIGHT?

THAT IDIOT TREATED MY CLOTHES LIKE DOG’S SHIT APPARENTLY.

I JUST CAN’T BELIEVE IT.

THIS WILL PROBABLY BE MY ANGRIEST MOMENT IN 2008.

Last Sunday, my boy and I went to the Olympics 2008 Poster Exhibition held at MICA. It’s the building with colourful windows, if you don’t know where MICA is. =)

This exhibition was actually recommended by my Graphic Design lecturer, if not I wouldn’t have known that such an exhibition existed. Anyway, the exhibition ends today (14th Aug), so if you’re thinking of going… well, too late. Oops.

Inside MICA, lovely shade of deep purple

I had wanted to paint my room that shade of deep purple, but my papa bought the shade that has more red tint. Bah. But well, I still love my room’s wall colour now.

When we entered the exhibition area, we were greeted by a series of Beijing 2008 posters. This is my favourite:

Graceful

The other posters featured basketball, taekwondo, swimming, etc.

Icons

I like how they mimic the style of their ancient Chinese 甲骨文 to feature each sporting event’s icon. Pretty cool huh?

Beijing 2008 Mascots - Fu Wa

Which is your favourite? I kinda like the Panda and the Swallow (green one - it’s called Nini haha!).

3D Ceramic Mascots

The Bird's Nest

And not forgetting the past Olympics posters!

Posters over the decades...

Frankly speaking, some of the posters are not that impressive (woops) but we can see the design styles of each representing country and witness how design evolve as the years go by. I like Mexico’s (4th row, 1st from left) and Sydney’s. =)))

And please take a look at Tokyo’s… oh my goodness. How egocentric can the Japanese get?!

PING PONG!

Don’t you just love those bulbous headed miniatures? Hahahaha….

Anyway, see that big ping pong bat in the background? It says 友谊第一 比赛第二. That’s the common theme in all of their very very old Olympics posters and also the current’s. The Chinese are soooo friendly… like totally.

I’d love to be friends with all of them PRCs, if only they could just speak a little softer…

CHAMP!

Am not an athlete, but I’m sure everyone has their own race to run in life. I’m trying my hardest to give my best shot, and I hope you are too.

But truth be told, I am really in need of some Gatorade now to jump past those goddamn sky-high hurdles that is my freaking projects!!!

I’m going to sleep. Gotta wake up early to do work tmr. Take care all. ;D

I’m busy, that’s what I am.

Some stuff:

1. Bryan Wong (the Star Idol one, not the host) lives in Sengkang, and when he misses the train, he says SHITTTT. I know it because he rushed past me and cussed when the train took off.

2. I don’t like group work for several reasons:

• my group members are not responsive most of the time
• I must take the first step in everything - they just follow
• when I ask for a consensus, they look at me and rely on me for a decision
• I end up doing most of the work

3. I realise how easy it is to find my blog when people input my full name in Google

4. I do not like lecturers who like to act smart all the time, or try too hard to be different just for the sake of being individualistic. I particularly hate it when lecturers of the above traits are also the very ones who are horribly late for class - 45mins to 1 hour for 2 consecutive weeks (sorry class, can’t wake up in the morning). Tell me that my school fees are totally worth every cent.

5. Please pray for my father.

That’s all.

For my boy: this was how they lit the GIANT torch!

Part 1 - “Running” to Light the Torch

Part 2 - Lit Torch + Fireworks

I think they did it at the very end of the ceremony while we were on the phone, or possibly preparing to sleep. Haha…

I worry for London which is gonna host the 2012 Olympics. How to surpass this benchmark that China has set?! I hope they have started some serious brainstorming already.

Hahahaha! Oh man I’m beyond hope. Jellyfish = 海蛰, 海蛰 = jellyfish!

I’ve always thought that Jellyfish cannot be eaten because in Finding Nemo, they were stinging Marlin silly! I thought they were freaking poisonous la! HAHA!

Who knows I’ve been eating them at wedding banquets… what a joke.

Now pass me some jellyfish will you?!!

All I did was to make 2 random clicks on a random list of hyperlinks, and jang jang jang! I was at a classmate’s blog. Oh man it sure feels weird to be seeing a hell lot of her big head big eyes eyeliner thick thick act chio pictures all at one go.

What was even more weird is that I attempted to read a few paragraphs of her writings and it’s quite out of character. (Oh and I learnt a new short form from her writing - idk = i don’t know.) Okay maybe I don’t know (idk) her, but in class she’s like quite different from how she writes her entries. Heck, even in those pictures, she looks different from how she looks real life. HAHAHA.

I couldn’t help but wonder: Do I sound like myself in my blog? And do I look like myself in pictures?

I certainly hope so.

***

Just to clarify something because I think most of my friends read my blog - it’s about the way I write my SMS.

My mobile phone’s clear button is SPOILT. Meaning, I cannot clear or backspace any mistakes I make when I’m typing my SMS. Sometimes I get too carried away, I type until one sms become 2 sms, but I cannot clear to make it shorter. Plus, I’m lazy to discard my entire message and retype the entire shit again!

So I just send my lengthy messages, together with whatever unintentional mistakes I’ve made.

LOL.

So, just to let you know…

If you read gibberish nonsense, please skip to the next word that u can understand.

And I really want to change my phone lah, but nothing caught my eye yet! Except for one LG phone which seems like it will never get launched in Singapore. Sadness.

I just want a slim, simple, sleek looking mobile phone, is it too much to ask for?

You know, usually I don’t like to tell people what kinda things I like that I wanna get, because suddenly almost everyone around me will start having them. Especially those who psycho me out of getting it? They themselves buy it in the end, before I even get it!

It’s just fucking annoying lor.

I used to keep talking about getting the DS Lite and lusting all over it, but some so called pro PSP people had to come to me, saying how the PSP is far more superior than the DS Lite. For example, “if I were you I would choose the PSP over DS Lite anytime, because PSP can do this this that that but DS Lite cannot!”.

And they go on and on and on, talking me out of getting the DS.

But nothing shakes my decision. I like the DS Lite means I like the DS Lite lah! Who cares about you and your superior PSP which can play mp3s play videos and whatever nots? I JUST WANT TO PLAY MY GAMES, arbo it’s called a portable GAME console?!!

Then know what? Them idiots who keep raving about the PSP ended up getting the DS Lite anyway. Way before I got mine.

Hellooo? Whatever happened to that brainwashing session? You tell me not to get the DS Lite, then you go get it yourself?

It’s like telling me my apple got poison, then you grab it away and start eating it yourself. Wah laaaaoooo…

Fucktards.

It’s because of these people that I totally lost my desire over the DS Lite. It just disgusts me lah.

So, you fucking copycats, go ahead and lust over the LG KF510, because if you want to get that phone, I don’t want it already.

Lessen my pain of waiting for my chio goddess sleek phone.

But still, can you don’t be a copycat?

Ever wondered what would happen if fonts were humans, and they were to hold a conference? (Times New Roman being the President, HAH!)

“Now which one of you do we make sans serif?”
HAHAHA! Sometimes the funniest stuff come from the smartest people.

I like Helvetica but it’s not featured. Baskerville Old Face is a nice type face, he shouldn’t be a grumpy old man!
