End of 2008, End of Disasters - Please?

I almost forgot to update posts due to busy schedules preparing for final presentations. Lucky me for remembering this blog I have for almost a year... (feeling shame)... Anyways, what's up for today? Well, pardon me for a little habit of complaining...

I had a presentation for Web Page Design this morning that turned into a total mess just exactly like what everyone seemed to assume. You can say it's my fault as well because I'm in the group so we all should take critical responsibilities as a whole. But I really couldn't believe that my laptop that uses AMD processor can create a conflict with a simple LCD projector that only recognizes Intel-based gadgets during the preparation for the presentation. As a result, presentation was being done late... I'm so sorry!

Besides, someone in the group, who is a boy, just read the presentation slides with short sentences provided without giving any elaborations which I had to backup his speeches every after his speech.

This year is just overwhelming enough to celebrate new year. From the first semester of studies until now in 2008. I wonder what 2009 would bring...

Christmas Sales!

I'm happy because I've finally had bought myself Christmas presents for myself yesterday which are a black formal shirt and a pair of black formal pants at SEED Boutique with my friend, Lawrence because of Christmas sales. They're both come out with 50% discount which makes me really delighted when I looked at the discount signs at the boutique...

Why delighted? That's because the apparels were about $110 each, thus total will be $220 as original price but after the discount, they've become only $55 each, total price deducted to be $110 which makes me think they're really affordable... not bad eh?

I'm not buying anything for New Year but I wonder what I should buy myself next for upcoming Chinese New Year...

Resting...

Everyone at school talks about Christmas... How will you celebrate yours?

Thank God that I've recovered from high fever by taking heavy medications... I've finally handed in all four of the assignments in these two days... And even today, I managed to give good enough presentation for Writing for Business during the submission of the report in tutorial class.

Returned home in severe exhaustion at 5pm, I finally could relax my self playing with my new dog which is a pekingese breed. It was quite unlucky to have a blackout all over the residential area I live from 6pm to 8pm just now. Now, everything stressful to me has been managed. I will find some time to relax myself even more... What about partying like an animal with best friends during Christmas?

Busy Week...

Run, run, run for your life!

I've got a fever today... because assignments are overwhelming that I have to hand in a total of four assignments (Writing for Business, Marketing, Management, and Web page Design) on next Monday... I hope to recover as soon as possible in order to finish my works. You will have to pardon me again if I haven't posted anything for about three or four days... gotta go~

Hangout for Lunch/Midterm Examinations End...

It was the very 1st time at 1pm when Steven, Yoke Fung, Chelsea, Ernst, Sam & I went out for a hangout at JO Mall nearby our school with Steven's cute little car yesterday. When we arrived, we planned what would good for lunch. At 1st, we all agreed to go Wendy's for lunch but unfortunately, the restaurant had only limited spaces to fit everyone of us. So we went up to search for any restaurants as an alternative. I saw a beer bar beside and there was a notice of Job Vaccancy. I've always wanted to try working as a bartender but I haven't got much time, unfortunately. After that we found Brisik's Cafe, an Indonesian cuisine restaurant.



At the cafe, we've found that the interior design is cool. I would rate it above average. There, you can find some fancy chesterfields with some cushions of variety sizes, shapes and motives. On the tables that are not yet being seated with customers, you can see that colorful napkins are neatly folded and placed onto the plates, just like the ones in any gourmet restaurants.

We were then be seated at a table which is big enough to fit all of us. The waiter came over and it was very nice of him to pour iced water for free into martini glasses on the table before taking our orders. Everyone ordered what they wanted to have for lunch. For me, I ordered buttered rice and green curry beef then a pineapple-orange juice. The green curry was scrumptious and spicy enough that it went well with the buttered rice. Surprisingly, I found the green chili paste delicious that I finished the whole sauceplate along with my food. The beverage, however, I'd just rate it average because the flavors are not balanced that I couldn't taste any pineapple in it.

After finishing our food. The owner of the restaurant came and provided us a free glass of iced coffee with 6 straws, everyone of us sipped the drinked together. It was such a wonderful moment for us. We finally pay our bills and decided to go Starbucks as our next hangout spot.

Hanging out at Starbucks somehow reminded me of my friends who used to study Advanced English at the British Council because of the coffee fragrant inside. Six of us did our last minute studies for Web Page Design until 4pm. Jazz bumped into us and requested Steven for a ride back to school. After returning to school, everyone rushed into the examination hall and faced the final examination for mid term. It was such a wonderful day that I won't forget it till the end of my time...

Assignments...


How many turns do I have to make in order to solve the problems?

So, all the assignments are already being started. And I can say it is quite weird for me this semester because all assignments in every subjects must be done in groups... Since there are quite a lot of uncertainties for me and my group members in order to do researches, we will have to ask our tutors for a consultation next week.

The 1st submission of assignment will be a combination of a slide presentation and a press comference about Barack Obama for the subject, Writing for Mass Communication on next Wednesday. Surprisingly, all my group members are boys and we expect an amusement because one of us has to take the role of Barack Obama's wife, Michelle.

And since that I have a whole new circle of friends to complete my assignment with, I won't have to sleep at any of my friend's room to complete the works at this semester, at least. I don't mean any offense but it will always be a lot lesser embarrassment for me to use their limited facilities in their rooms because they need the facilities more than I do. And it will be no arguments over the facilities with them just like the one that happened last semester.

Anyways, please do wish us good luck for the upcoming press conference. I'll stop here... heading out...

I Dreamed About You...


Maybe it's because of stress and my desperation for my dog, I dreamed of playing with him last night in a kitchen. Amazingly, I was able to feel the texture of his fur once again by patting him although it was just a dream. I saw him smiling as usual, showing me an expression that he is fine. I wasn't able to give him a last hug due to the ringing sound from my alarm clock at 6am... It was time for school...

I miss him so much... I wish him happiness in the other dimension of world probably heaven and I hope to see him once again...

Unexpected Accident


I arrived late at 9am this morning to school because I woke up late at 6:20am so I decided to skip the lecture for Marketing which started at 8am. Had a fast-pacing revision during the tutorial lesson for Management in the afternoon until 3pm. Went home by taking public transports but arrived home in the late evening at 6pm. When I arrived home, I found something has missing in front of the house - My precious pet dog as well has his toys and other equipments.


I saw my dad squatting outside at the door frowning, holding his forehead with his left hand and a can of Beck's beer with his right hand. He kept quiet but he gave me some sign language that my pet dog has died being knocked down by a car at a highway near my house. I was shocked but at the same time, I was unable to show any facial expression... Then, I also saw both of my eldest sister's eyes were red and swollen a little because of crying.

Why? Why my dog has to be the victim of this tragedy? Couldn't that driver lower down his gear to let his fucking car slow down? Couldn't he just brake for the sake of sparring a life? I wonder what the driver's driving license is for when he already has the potential to knock down other lives... Now that he has taken my precious pet's life, he should be "blessed" with the upcoming tragedies awaiting him. I'm sure he will...

I'm feeling so emotionless today...

Wassup With Today?


What's wrong with today? Well, nothing much has happened... But Midterm Examinations has started... I had a practical assessment for Web Page Design this morning then sat for Writing for Mass Communication in the evening. It is the fact that the practical assessment was overwhelming! I didn't study anything for it so I thought I would give up. Some classmates had arrived at computer laboratory before me and I found them turning pages and pages of notes just to do some "last-minute studies" before the assessment began. The tutor arrived about 9am and everyone were given 30 minutes time to complete the tasks. However, it was quite difficult for me to complete everything because I had forgotten some of the HTML codes like construction of horizontal lines and anchoring links. Although it was difficult, I managed to get 14 marks out of 20. Not so bad but isn't it surprising?

Instead of feeling nervous for the whole evening, it was quite relaxing for me to sit for the subject, Writing for Mass Communication. I knew that I have done some mistakes at answering a few questions but I've no regrets doing some flaws because I really didn't know what the answers were. I've learned a lot even during the examinations- really.

Surfed Internet spontaneously until I found a forum showing so called "A Famous Couple in Beijing" where a photo gallery of a Chinese gay couple is being featured inside. However, it makes me really curious what makes them famous. I know they might be gay, but that doesn't make any sense to make them famous. Not to mention some of my friends who are gays, bisexuals and lesbians, including myself, who is also a gay, do not even appear to be famous for being what we are. Even some celebrities including Ellen DeGeneres become famous because of their careers. Nevertheless, I'm suspecting the shorter "guy" who appears to be an "Uke" is actually a girl... or maybe it's just me... whatever... Click HERE for the forum for pictures...

The Third Edition of Management : A Practical Introduction

Need to manage things accordingly?

Feedback of the book (which can also be found inside):

"This is an excellent introductory management text designed for maximum student comprehension. The material is presented in a manner that permits students to see the concepts as tools, not merely as things to memorize"

הכל יכול לקרות
אין כיוון לרוח
המרחב פתוח
האופק לא נגמר

הכל יכול לקרות
מאהבה נתפרת
או מפרידה נפרמת
בסוף כלום לא נשאר

אבל תמיד
יש מישהו ששומע
שומר עלי יודע
שאני לא אוותר

רוצה שתשאר עד שיגמר
הטירוף הלילה
עד קצה יום אחר

הכל יכול לקרות
אין דבר קבוע
אין שומדבר בטוח
שיקרה או לא יקרה

כי הכל יכול לקרות
רכבת שדוהרת
שאף פעם לא עוצרת
באותה התחנה

שחרר אותי
עם בדידותי בחדר
קח שבר ועוד שבר
ותדביק אותי

עוד פעם מחדש
עד המבול הבא
עד שלא יכאב כבר
עד שירגע

כי תמיד
יש מישהו ששומע
שומר עלי יודע
שאני לא אוותר

רוצה שתשאר
עד שיגמר
הטירוף הלילה
עד קצה יום אחר

רוצה שתשאר
עד שיגמר
הטירוף הלילה
עד קצה יום אחר

Everything can happen
There is not a direction to the wind
The expanse is open
The horizon does not finish

Everything can happen
From love it's sewed
Or from separation it's unstiched
In the end nothing remains

But always
There is someone who listens
Guard on me knows
That I will not give up

i want to stay
until it finishes
The madness tonight
Until edge of another day

Everything can happen
There isn't a steady thing
Nothing is for sure
That will happen or not

Because everything can happen
Railway that gallops
That even once doesn't stop
In the same the station

Release me
With my loneliness in the room
Take a break and then another
And paste me

Once more newly
Until the next deluge
Until that will not hurt already
Until that will relax

The Closet Pressure...

The world outside from the door looks beautiful & less stressful than staying in with roses decorated around. But will you take the risk of passing through the unseen thorns and experience unexpected dangers outside?

Coming out, is a phase when people announce their sexual orientation. Although I've partially come out within people I know especially friends, I still remain closeted in my family. Today is just another day that I heard another homophobic statement from my dad to my brother in a moving van on the way back home.

"Son, the youngest uncle of yours is a faggot. He's nothing but a total loser that he french kissed a man and someone on the street saw it. Damn disgusting!"

I kept quiet and looked outside the window... It was raining... and because of the quote, I've actually noticed that I'm being noted not to let anyone in my family know that I'm actually gay. I can't imagine any further if my dad finds out one day by reading this blog... Freaky, really freaky...

Seme or Uke?


When it comes to relationships especially homosexual ones, you may wonder if you should take the "dominant" role or "recessive". For LGBT friends, which one are you? "Seme" or "Uke"? The term "Seme" is derived from the Japanese verb "Semeru" which means "to attack" while "Uke" is derived from the Japanese verb which means "to receive". These terms are commonly used in Yaoi (derives from the Japanese sentence "YAma nachi, Ochi nashi, Ichi nashi" which carries the meaing "no climax, no point, no meaning") mangas that depicts homosexual relationships.

And since I was bored, I searched a website that contains a pop quiz to determine whether if you're a Seme or Uke based on your personality. To be more specific, which type of Seme or Uke you're most likely to be will be shown as well. Please be noted that the quiz is just for fun only... and I'm shocked but impressed to get this quiz result as shown below...


You are a Chibi Seme!

You are the seme in disguise. Able to fit in and get along with uke and seme alike, you are able to get close to the uke on their level before exerting your dominance. This makes you at times manipulative and able to fool others about your true seme nature. Because of your harmless appearance, it takes the flamboyantly gay Flaming Uke to match wits and really bring out your aggressive side to expose you for the seme that you are.


Most compatible with: Flaming Uke, Badass Uke

Least compatible with: Dramatic Uke

What seme or uke are you? Take the experience at SemeUke.com, or find merchandise here.

Grave of the Fireflies (Live Action)


What would you do if a war happens? Do you think you can run away from devastating bombs that kill many people? How would you survive if scarcity of food happens? Would you just kneel down and beg officers under a nearby shelter for ration? Introducing you Grave of the Fireflies, a tragical, emotional, yet tear-flowing fictional movie about 2 orphaned children, Seita and Setsuko, who are forced trying to survive hunger in the streets toward the end of World War 2 in Japan.

The story begins somewhere at a train station where Seita is found dead because of hunger by the janitors who are working there. One of the janitor is asked to pull his corpse aside and suddenly, a Sakuma Drop tin drops out from a pocket from the corpse's pants onto the floor. The tin is then being picked up by another janitor and thrown into a nearby junkyard. Finally, the tin is picked by a lady and she finds some ashes inside. The tragic tale of Seita and Setsuko is then narrated...

Another Day, Another Bad Day

Will Rain Come To Wash Away My Sorrows?

What a day, I woke up late and had my nose bled suddenly when I was brushing my teeth this morning. Then, I rushed into the train in order to reach school in time. The train was so crowded and I was packed like sardine, being pushed around inside the train. I held my left pocket of my denims that contained my wallet with my left hand and then a stainless steel pole inside, ignoring the right pocket that contained my cellphone and keys with my right hand. I was so careless that my phone got pick pocketed... Dammit!

Oh why? Why me? Why am I being so careless about my personal belongings? Why did the fucking idiot pickpocket choose me as the victim? Now my photos for assignments as well as my business and friends' contacts are all gone... What I can do is to call a mobile service agent and request my phone number to be barred... And I've get it done... At the moment, I'm waiting for another cell phone to be used...

Studies, Studies and More Studies...

"How Many Books Have You Invested In A Year?"

School days have now become richer and more essential for me and I'm happy with it just because I have got good friends to study with. In the new tutorial class, I've somehow adapted well at lessons and done school homework in time. Besides, lecture notes and tutorial worksheets have become more organized than before. Maybe it was the subject Management Studies that has taught me a lesson for being organized at studies at the moment... I like the subject very much and the way of being organized for now. It's a whole new experience for me.

But there is always a subject that is always bothering me. Sociology!!! It gives me headache these days just because the lecturer does not have good command in English. Well, I'll have to think of a way to overcome the confusions in this subject... (*sigh~)... Marketing? Memorizing facts have become easier for me because there are quite a lot of abbreviations in the lecture notes. I really enjoy both Marketing and Management for studies.

Assignments are starting soon and I'm really looking forward to do them because I want to know what it is like to build a good website in a group with my own hands for Web Page Design. There's also an assignment doing a Press Conference for Writing For Mass Communication. Who knows what am I going to write?

Boyfriend! - Daniel Leary


Let's say that you've met a guy somewhere, somehow... both of you have then dated each other for a couple of weeks and everything was going so well until you wanted to commit a relationship with him... and so he agreed. But one day, you accidentally bumped into your best friends when you were walking out with the (*cough cough) guy. You wanted to introduce him to your friends but what are you going to label him as? Are you going to call him as "Boyfriend" when it sounds dangerous to do so?


Gay video from AfterElton.com


I found this interesting Vlog from AfterElton.Com yesterday. Meet Daniel Leary, he's the one who gives information and advices just about everything we should do/know in our lives as a part of the community. Don't you think he's cute?

New School Semester


I didn't expect to update my posts anytime soon. But who cares? I'm finally back... Well, new school semester has now begun. It is now a brand new session for another start. As usual, I travel by train then a bus to the place where I go to study. But everything has now changed and they will never be the same since the day I applied to another tutorial class.

In the whole new cycle of time at school, the iodine-like smell of the hall that used to be a part of the school environment has now disappeared. The appearances of my ex-classmates; their facial expressions, their outfits, and their hairstyles have become totally different. It's no doubt that I changed quite a lot just as much as they are due to the holidays as well. Somehow, I like it that way... and I'm still wondering why...

Haven't practiced my guitar for weeks due to vacations. Now, I still miss the co-curricular activities on Wednesdays. I've decided to go there again starting from next week because I'm quite sick of staying at home. My dad and mom are staying outside frequently and I rarely see them. Too much things has happened at home whenever I see them as well as my siblings and I don't wanna face all of them that frequent anymore. I just don't have the heart for my family at the moment.

Back to the "school" topic again... It's nice to have new cycle of friends in the new class. Moreover, I've gotten good chances to learn subjects that are totally foreign for me. They are Management Studies, Marketing, Writing for Business, and Writing for Mass Communication. Besides, I feel grateful to have 2 subjects that I am quite familiar with; Sociology and Web Page Design. I'm really looking forward to study them and I hope the lecturers will not disappoint me because I really want to improve my grades.

As for romances, I haven't met my Mr. Right yet. I think I will prefer to stay single... because I want freedom to do whatever and go wherever I want. But my emotions are somehow fading without any reasons...

Heading Out From Blogging...

School semester break is going to an end as this is the final week for it. I realized that time passes slowly at this moment as there are really nothing much to do for the break season. What I've usually done are just listening to musics, some outings with family and friends, a little bit of part time work, a little bit of shopping, posting my blogs, reading gay blogs and staying alone for thoughts.

I'm heading out from Blogging for now. Why? There are three reasons:
1) I recently have no idea what to Blog about.
2) I just like it...
3) To do some soul searching and life evaluating.

I believe life is not just about Blogging and surfing the Net and I think it's about time to explore more in the outside world. Who knows if I ever meet my Mr. Right somewhere outside one day? I don't know when I'll be posting articles again but I'm sure to check out here pretty often to update my bulletins and check if there's any Chatbox and Blog updates from friends. Please leave me a comment in the Chatbox or any recent articles I've posted if you have any inquiries. Hope to hear from you soon!

China's Milk Scandal News Update


The news about the presence of hazardous chemical found in diary products manufactured in China has now shocked the world. A recent scientific test result from United States about the White Rabbit creamy candies and other dairy products such as baby milk powder has confirmed for the presence of the chemical, called Melamine. I wonder what infants in China are consuming as the substitution for dairy products.

"Anyone who has the candy should destroy it," Farrell said.

"Melamine, which is high in nitrogen, is used to make plastics and fertilizers and experts say some amount of the chemical may be transferred from the environment during food processing. But in China's case, suppliers trying to boost output are believed to have diluted their milk, adding melamine because its nitrogen content can fool tests aimed at verifying protein content."

"The candy is sold in more than 50 countries throughout Asia and the world, including most of the Chinatowns in the United States. Overseas sales have reached $160 million over the past five years."

Flying Money

Oh Puh-leez, NOT AGAIN?!

I've got my money flown by the wind~ I thought I could escape myself from bleeding my wallet at school but I didn't expect to spend so much money even for food outside during vacations. I think I should stop spending now and save some for the upcoming rainy days... Things have gotten more expensive these days and I feel like the local currency is falling down so much more than before. Will the price of water and food become costly one day just like selling them to the people who are currently living in deserts?

China's Milk Scandal


Recently, it is proved that science can be manipulated in the process of food packaging for diary products in order to cut production costs without concerning people's health.


A substance called "Melamine" has recently discovered in diary products such as SANLU milk powder for babies and a brand of cookies manufactured in China. Even the famous White Rabbit creamy candies are tested and then proven for the presence of the substance. Hence, it is now banned from being sold worldwide for health safety precaution. Now, there are about more than 20 countries have now banned diary products from China.

"A pediatric urologist, Feng Dongchuan, said in a posting July 24 on his online journal that he had treated seven infants for kidney stones at the Pediatric Hospital in the central city of Xuzhou, an unusually high number."

"As many as 25 countries and markets in Asia, Africa and Europe have either banned or recalled Chinese dairy products or goods made using milk from China after the government on Sept. 11 said Sanlu sold products containing melamine. New Zealand's Fonterra Cooperative Group owns 43 percent of Sanlu, one of the country's biggest milk-powder makers and the first identified as having produced tainted milk. "

Upcoming School Semester Break...


School examination week is about to end and I'll be having 3 weeks for vacation... But I haven't have any exact idea what to do in order to fill up the weeks because 3 weeks is quite a short period of time to do anything. Even a part-time job needs one whole month to be done in order to get salary. I just know I'm going somewhere to do a complete change all by myself... but I will not tell you what are the processes and their upcoming results... (*grin~)


I don't actually believe that 14 weeks for a semester can pass that easily than what I've expected. There are many things happened in just 14 weeks; positive as well as negative events that has made me realize much more things around me.

I've chosen not going hang out with my classmates in the afternoon after the final examination. Not because I want to avoid them for good but I want to stay alone for myself. I just like it - no actual reason for that.

Yes, I'll keep updating posts during the weeks of my vacation and tell you much things other than what's happening to my life in these 3 weeks. Maybe something about cultures? I'm not so sure...

The Tears I Shed...



I will no longer cry just because people are no longer deserved for me to cry for. I won't let myself to be hurt over and over again just because of these people. Yes, I cried before. But it does not mean I'm fallen. I've finally discovered that I don't need friends who don't support and still discriminating me with their silly, so-called jokes. It may make me smile or sometimes even laugh from the outside but you'll never know that I'm offended from the inside.


I've not even begged people to do me a lot of favors before because I know I can handle things on my own. And I'm pretty sure that most people won't even lend me a hand even if I request one. And even if they do, they would sometimes end up showing frowns.

Growing up, I've now realized that people around me aren't worth my tears. I've also noticed that these people who I shed my tears for are not even willing to hear the words deep inside my heart. Even if they do, I know they would not believe everything I talked to be sincere enough for them. I just... know~

As a result, I've now learned a lesson not to be as gullible as I were before and it's like an alarm to remind me to battle for my own dignity. Life is still going on without them and I will never drop any single of my tears in front of these humans anymore... because there are more important things to cry for...

A-Z (My Personal Version)




A brand new hope is all I need,
But you always keep threatening me.
Casting bright stars with my heart,
Defying the storms wherever I be.
Embroidering sincerity to show your loyalty, but
Fraudulence is the word you disappoint me.
Growing up around fellow masqueraders,
Happiness outside as it may seem,
I feel broken just right within.
Joking around to cheer one up,
Keeping vengeance from one to put me down,
Laments I had lasted for months.
Memories before has finally faded,
Now they're worthless for remembrance.
Obfuscating people from knowing much truths,
Procrastinating them until the ruthless time comes.
Quenching my faith has done upon you,
Retreating myself from the pits of fire,
Stitches from wounds can never be recovered,
Thorns in the heart can never be plucked.
Undeniably that future, is unforeseeable without luck,
Verisimilitude in life is the visual I wanted to see,
Walking in the prairies, to know what I want to be.
Xylophones are being played to show an end,
Yet the tales of my life will remain to be told.
Z is the end to bid you farewell.

-Joe

Pete Wentz is seen wearing "guyliner"

It has been said that a "real man" do not care about his facial appearance in public. Thus, makeups had then became a taboo for men in real life but NOT until this era. These years, there has been a number of men who wear makeups when they perform at TV shows and concerts. But do you actually know that makeups has become more acceptable among men than before? These makeups include mascara, black eyeliner (recently called "guyliner" among men), and black eye shadow.

There are actually some popular male singers and celebrities who popularize the usage of eyeliner among men in real life. They are:

1) Russell Brand (British Comedian, Actor, Radio Presenter)
2) Pete Wentz (Member of the band Fall Out Boy)
3) Johnny Depp (Captain Jack in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean)
4) David Philippe Desrosiers (Bassist and backing vocalist for the band Simple Plan)
5) Billie Joe Armstrong (Vocalist for the band Green Day)

According to an article from SexEtc.org, a survey has been done on a number of people what their opinion about men wearing eyeliner would be. As the result, they think that it’s a matter of self-expression and personal taste. You can read the article HERE

P/S: I'm also using eyeliner and I think it's an artistic way to express your feelings.

Avril Lavigne - When You're Gone (Acoustic)



I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
is made up on your side

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
All the words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
they lie on my floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And when you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah Yeah

All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me
Yeah

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear will always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

Guitar Lesson Today...

A lot of classmates and friends didn't want to attend the music club for guitar lesson this evening. So I ended up going there myself just with a classmate. There were also non-members entered the room to see the lesson. A new instructor came in the room to teach guitar for the day but there were only four people including me and the instructor who brought guitars for lessons. Because of that, most people on the floor were being nagged by the instructor for almost an hour...

I was quite embarrassed just because people were amazed to see me using a left handed guitar in the room for lesson. I wonder what looked special about me using it... But currently i have some difficulties pressing strings on the frets with my right hand because it lacks of strength. Maybe I need LOTS and LOTS of practices... That's all for today... I'm heading out again for some chats... (*giggles)

Art Assignment - Media Showcase

Bonjour tout le monde!

It has been a few days since my last Blog post. At last, I'm very happy that my friends and I have finally completed our final assignment for Arts. Hurray for me that I don't have to take another annoying sleepover session anymore!!! In class, we shared the room with another team members who did something related to our artworks. As presenters, we were totally shocked and surprised that we have attracted a lot of people outside to be our audiences. Without wasting anymore time... Here are the photos below that show what we've actually done:

It was my duty to draw. For display images, I sketched the image of the pelvis from a website.Using linear techniques with a charcoal pencil, I draw out the tones and the shadows to form texture.
One of my finished artwork... I hope you like it!Another drawing from me... The human skullThis is what my team members have done for the 2D artwork that can be touched. The media we used includes newspapers, PVA glue, tissue, cardboard, and A2 paperOur 3D model... The bleeding skull!!!The glowing bloody skull lantern beside is also our 3D artwork



P/S: This is the continuation from the last blog post from the imitation of Leonardo Da Vinci's artwork. We have done quite some research in order to get more developed idea yet inspiration from it...

Return to Innocence - Enigma




Lyrics :
That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence

Love, devotion
Feeling, emotion
Love, devotion
Feeling, emotion

Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart, my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence

If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself, don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence

That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence

Don't care what people say
Follow just your own way
Don't give up, don't give up
To return, to return to innocence

If you want, then laugh
If you must, then cry
Be yourself, don't hide
Just believe in destiny

I Got A Kiss From a STRAIGHT GUY!

I'm finally home... I'm so relieved!

It was just another hard day spending the night to get the Art Assignment done. But it's still left unfinished. So I'll be having another sleepover session with my friends again tomorrow night... What a life...

I've been sweating a lot these days that has made me lost some weight due to extreme hot weather outside.

It was late evening when I chat online with my family yesterday. Suddenly, I got pulled out from the room by a lot of friends from another tutorial group who also came to finish up their assignments to go downstairs. And when I arrived downstairs, I saw the guy... he was blindfolded. After that, one of them, who pulled me downstairs, told him to remove the cloth that blindfolded him.

"Look at him... So he's your REWARD for your punishment for being late... Now KISS HIM!" She said.

I was totally shocked and quickly said "NO" because it is really awkward for me to receive a kiss from a guy who already has a girlfriend. But he was just feeling relax and kissed me at the lips... Everyone was shocked but somewhat amazed... But I feel nothing from the kiss... Maybe I'm still thinking of "him"... Maybe I still want "him" to be mine... But it's totally impossible... So how long does it actually take in order to get someone over at 100%?

Another Sleepover... I've Had Enough!

Oh... NOT AGAIN?!

I've had enough doing all these Art assignment crap that I have to visit to my friends' house to have another sleepover again. It's not that I hate to live outside but I still don't understand why I have to sleep over at their house using their stuffs in their room. I don't feel comfortable and I don't like it!

Even worse, I've recently skipped dinner time that has made me feel hungrier and hungrier just to get the works done. ARGH! I need burger right now... I want more MEAT!!! I NEED FOOD IN TIME!!!

I know I feel quite loopy today but the weather is really hot that has made me sweating continuously all over my body influencing my mood. You'll have to excuse my behavior for this time... but I really need plenty of water to calm myself up...

New Age...

If you have listened to Enya before and enjoyed her songs, then you are counted in as the New Age Music lovers. New Age songs emphasizes flowing emotions unlike any other songs. Sometimes they calm you down from stresses and reflect your emotions. Here is one of the examples of New Age Music Video that reflects my thoughts of the rain below. Enjoy...

Sleepover in Friends' House...


Howdy, how are y'all doing? This is just a short update to tell you guys that I'm now having a sleepover at 2 friends' house to finish up some final assignments for Arts at school. Since I'm using other person's computer, I will not be replying the messages at the Chatbox for today. Now, I've got to listen to the musics I've put in this Blog. I thought it has some kind of an error but it was just short updates from Imeem.com ...

I miss my guitar at this moment... It's sad that I've forgotten to bring it this morning as I'll be having a lesson during musics club tomorrow evening. Not just my beloved guitar I've just gotten but also boxes of stationery which are actually very important to be used in lessons. In conclusion, I've got a lesson that shows me something; Arts Assignments have given me headaches...

Although Arts assignment has distracted me from a lot of things, I'm still recalling some bad memories I had before... especially him... It's not that I'm still missing him but I want to know when will my 'other half of me' appear to me? Maybe I'm just thinking too much...

... maybe...

It Rains Again (The Directions Taken in My Life... Part 2)


(...Continues)

Love... What is that? For me, it's almost an impossible thing to be happened in my life. Like the shadows being cast out from the dark castles full of auras of the devils, it is seemed that it is very difficult to find the source of hope... the light from the deepest core of my heart. I do miss the sunshine of the pasts, but always wanted to ignore the tree of the childhood which has been striken by the thunder full of suffering souls in the Octagram Temple. But what I can only do is just keep walking in the prairies in front of my eyes where the diversities of irreversible roads of the future exist. How long do I have to walk in order to reach for a place where the eternal of true Love exists?

There was one time I stopped by at the backyard of the school during lunch, wondering why I always feel left alone although I have lots of friends. Now, being rejected by a lot of people who always has shown frowns on me is no longer a big deal just because of the false side of personality in me. I still don't know why I'm keeping my true self frozen inside me... What would they think about me if they had met my true form?

It rained outside again this afternoon. Whenever I see the raindrops falling from the infinite sky, I always feel that the paradise is crying for me to clean away the feeling of despair inside. The tapping sounds of the droplets that have fallen onto the ground has now become the most soothing melody that can only calm my heart. Maybe it is indeed true that the water has the ability of reflecting out the memories and emotions that has been kept for long time.

Besides, I have also realized the paths on the prairies are not that easy to be traveled on as the grasses with thorns of regrets grow faster and faster in time. I insisted and pushed myself forward to travel on my bare feet for further adventures in life to see my path of future life and career. I walk faster and faster but I never know where I'm heading to... What kind of destination will I end up one day? What kind of scenery will I able to see along the way? I don't know... but I want to know...
