Memories, Goals, and Jimmy Wong

Cliché end of year blog post is too mainstream, so I made a vlog instead.

Hair dye, make up, and head banging! Oh my!

Drug addicts

Greetings from the Philippines!

Life is good. I've been catching up with my cousins and making the same old jokes. Daniel getting left behind in church, me believing Digiland exists, Mildred crying in school because she left our plant homework at home. Oh, the good old days.

Yesterday, the whole family went to visit Auntie Brenda's house for lunch and catching up, and I realized that they were the only family we were never really close with. It's pretty sad when I think about it, because I'm sure kuya Enif and kuya Ian are very cool people.

I just realized, kuya Ian and I are the only people in the family to "break the barrier". The only kids in the family with "crazy" hair, the only ones who dare study the arts in college, and we both apparently look like drug addicts. This may not seem like a big deal to anyone else, but it's an incredibly big deal in the family. Everyone else is doing/did a degree in Engineering, Accounting, or anything that offers a stable job, while we opt for freelancing type jobs like in Photography or Filmmaking. It's sad. We probably have a lot in common and could talk about anything and everything. I really wonder why we're not really friends.

In less depressing news, I'm going to Enchanted Kingdom with my cousins today! I am so psyched! If I'm feeling especially brave today, I might take the Space Shuttle. If you didn't know, it's this roller coaster that goes in loops and goes backwards! It's insane. I just pray that I won't piss my pants.

So all is good so far. I hope you're all doing fine there as well.

Muchos loves.

Vomit & Cigarettes

Hi,

I've still been pretty busy lately, despite being past hell week, but it has still been a pretty good week. I only skipped school once this week! It's such an accomplishment. Though despite my good week, I've been incredibly annoyed with some people. I guess I should just forgive and forget.

I'm flying off for Philippines in a week, and I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it. On one hand, I'm gonna be enjoying the lovely company of my family, I get to eat all the Filipino food I want, I get to shop, go to Enchanted Kingdom and all that jazz. On the other hand, I won't have time to work on my school work and I don't get to work. I'm sure I'll enjoy the trip in the end though.

I filmed with these lovelies last week. We were supposed to film tomorrow as well, but something came up. So I guess tomorrow will just be church, hair bleaching, Starcraft, and maybe a bit of work. I thank God that I don't have anymore Contemporary Issues classes anymore, so mondays are free, which means long weekends! I actually can't wait for the start of next week.

Here is the video my group did for Contemporary Issues. I think we did a pretty good job considering most of the planning was really impromptu. I handled the wide-angle shots, but I wanted to steal Zaw's 50mm standard lens. Anyway, I think you all should check it out.

Also, this happened. I WAS, and still am, AS PSYCHED AS BALLS, AND NO ONE AND NOTHING WAS ABLE TO RUIN MY DAY. JIMMY WONG<3

This has just been a vomit of a blogpost, which I will end with photos I spammed on Nicolette's laptop when she was away. 

Goodnight.

Hi,

I've been really busy with school recently, so I haven't had the time to update much. Everything done this week was pretty much schoolwork, and everything else seems irrelevant. It's been a good week though. God is good.

Guess what I saw on my Tumblr dashboard the other day! Hahahahahaha. It totally made my day. I was ROFLing for the longest time.

So yeah, just a quick update to assure you that I'm still alive. Hopefully, I would still be so after this week.  I know it's gonna be a less harsh version of last week's hell week, but I know that God is good and my strength is in Him!

Have a good week.

Human Centipede

It's been a pretty eventful week.

I skipped school on monday and tuesday to work as a volunteer usher at PromaxBDA 2011. I can't decide whether last year or this year was better. They were both very interesting in their own ways.

This is a shot from my work place. Yes, that is indeed a giant beanbag. I wish I had a beanbag as a bed, but that probably wouldn't turn out as good as I think it will. Well for once, I use my bed as my desk too whenever I need to get work done, and a beanbag desk? Nah.

To be honest, I was initially disappointed with the turn out. Things weren't as excited as I had hoped. On the first day, I got to meet the guys at Clementi really early in the morning and I met Marcus and Ben. They are very interesting people. We then cabbed to the place together with Avery Soh and Avery Chia. The place is so much different from how it was last year, but it seemed fine.

To be completely honest, the only reason why I went for PromaxBDA was for the after party drinks, which was sort of disappointing. This year, it was at Ta.Ke which is sort of like the sister bar of Timbre, and there was a limited number of drinks. I had fun though, we played spin the bottle and just chillaxed by the pool. The night was lovely. After drinks, JC treated us to ice cream. How nice of her.

Night was good. Food was good. Company was good. Life is good.

Retarded

I created my first simple computer programme when I was in fourth grade. I learnt how to play the guitar in about a day when I was 8 years old. I wrote my first song when I was in fifth grade. I taught myself HTML when I was in sixth grade. I scored myself 14 points for O levels without studying.

Yes, other people have probably accomplished more than that in a shorter period of time, but may I remind you that I did it to my own accord, and practically learned everything myself. With the exception of lessons in secondary school, of course. What makes people think I'm not intellectual?

Is it because I enjoy watching shows like Jersey Shore or 90210? Or is it because I am never seen with a book, and if I am, it's with something like Princess Diaries? Is it because I usually only talk about the superficial stuff? Or I speak in Singlish? Or is it because I'm extremely lazy?

That doesn't make someone's intelligence.

I enjoy bimbotic things, because they're entertaining, and I like being entertained. I enjoy easy-to-read books, because they're relaxing, and I like being relaxed. Ahh. Why can't people understand that? Just because I am incredibly chilled out, doesn't  mean that I can't use my brain when I want to.

So annoying.

In other news, the best thing I heard from the FMSA event today:

"My son studied overseas, but he wants to continue studying in Singapore. Actually, no. He didn't pick Singapore. He picked your course in FMS."

Photos, rings, and silly things.

I can't wait to have this new project up and running! I AM PSYCHED. I just realized that I've been starting or, at least, planning to start more projects and everything has been going so far! This is making me feel productive and happy.

A few days ago, I got a ring very similar to the one shown above. This is a Low Luv Armour Knuckle Ring by Erin Wasson in Gold, it retails for about SGD130, and it is beautiful. So when I saw a really close imitation to this for only SGD13, I whined until my friends forced me to just suck it up and fork out the money to get it.

I never meant to get anything a ring like this, especially something so expensive. I wouldn't even spend two dollars on a normal ring. In fact, I actually really dislike wearing rings, because I can never seem to find one to suit my fat, long fingers. But this knuckle ring just seemed really unique and lovely! This shall be the accessory of my lifetime! My signature thing, if you will. I am in love with it.

Since I currently have a friend's Wacom tablet to abuse for a week or two, I've been loving messing around with Photoshop and photos. It's not much of drawings/paintings, but I love using it as a cursor to manipulate things. So I've been making a lot of banner-like things, so could you kindly help me decide something? Do you think I should stay with my current blog banner or either one of the photos above? Thanks, guys! It'd be a big help. :)

I think I should probably sleep now. Despite the fact that I'm not going to school tomorrow, I need to catch up on sleep. Goodnight.

I have an unhealthy obsession with shoes. Not much of buying them really, but more of just staring and admiring them with intense longing.

I have three pairs of heels, three pairs of high-cut Converse sneakers, two pairs of low-cut Converse sneakers, a pair of brogues, three pairs of flats, a pair of flatforms, three pairs of flipflops, a pair of x-hi sneaker boots, a pair of Doc Marten-esque boots, and numerous random pairs of sandals. To be honest, I think that's A LOT of shoes considering I only regular wear like four pairs out of the whole lot. But despite knowing that, I still have a major crave for shoes.

I basically love anything basic in colour or design, but has something unique about its style. I love the studs and the platforms and the exaggeration of little things. There's just so much to do with shoes! So fascinating. I think shoes are definitely one of the most underrated things ever.

One day, I will own all the pairs of shoes listed in this blog post. I will try to attain them in this order. Leaving the special cosmic-patterned Lita for the last, since it is oh so special. Oh I am so psyched!

Infatuation

Not seeing the rest of you is getting the best of me.

I've been stalking this young lad, and of course I sound like a pedophile again, but I'm really not. This boy is four years older than me and I am enjoying myself. I was recently captivated by him when I saw him online. He's no musician or Youtuber or celebrity, basically. He's just a normal person I came across the internet. Well, an incredibly charming person.

I don't know why, but guys who can pull off Creepers or a tongue stud OR coloured contacts are automatically attractive to me. It's especially commendable if they're Asian. So I was just blown away when I came upon this guy's profile on Facebook while I was randomly derping around on the internet.

Hello, lovely guy. I hope that you would carry on wearing Creepers, stop your bad self-destructive habits, and be happy! :)

In other news, I just cut my fringe again into bangs. Why, you ask? It's so that when they grow out, I can part my fringe into wherever way I want! Smart ey? I think so. So anyway, while it's still in its bangs phase, I shall try to wear hats this week. Yes, this week shall be hat week. WEAR ALL THE HATS. 

Oh man, I need to get more sleep. Goodnight.

LIVA: Balls

Colours

Hullo there. It's my daddy's birthday today. I think you should all greet him. He's a delightful man.

It's only the third week of school and I'm already incredibly tired and exhausted from everything. All my modules are incredibly time-consuming, but I'm surprisingly enjoying everything. Some modules are really dry, like Social Psychology and Location Production, but those too are actually the most interesting modules! In my opinion, at least.

When I saw "Intro to CG" and "Animation Foundation" in this semester's timetable, I just knew I was screwed. Surprisingly enough, I'm really enjoying both modules! I am loving compositing work on Photoshop, and I love drawing using the lightbox. I am actually so psyched to start on our Intro to CG assignment that I already asked Arvin if I could borrow his Wacom tablet. I HAS A VERY EXCITE.

Today, Jeffrey told me I have a very distinct compositing look. Like a signature style. Colours. Practically everyone who knows me know I love colours! I am very in love with adding random blues, reds and purples into everything. Mini cosmic blowout, if I do say so myself. It kinda seems a bit wannabe hipster I guess, but whatevs.

So yeah, it was a good day. After school, I headed home then went for dinner at some tze char place. Tze char is awesome. We had a good birthday dinner. Happy birthday, daddy! You are seriously the best daddy ever. 

I wore socks with my flatforms to school today. People thought it was weird, but I liked it. We all need to be demented sometimes.

Believe it or not, I'm Asian

In the beginning of August, I started a thread in Your Pants asking if anyone in interested in starting a collab channel. About three months later, Whoneedsplanes was born! I am so psyched! :)

I'm the Thursday of the group and here's my first video:

Happy thursday, everyone!

Burnt

I attempted to bleach my hair yesterday with the help of Trudy. It did not go as well as planned, but it did not turn out bad either. Granted that at normal lighting, it is not very noticeable, it is a good job for people of our caliber! Thank you, Trudy!

I'm pretty annoyed by a lot of things right now. I think people need to learn how to fight their own fights. Also, people need to fight a good fight, but know when to back down when they're wrong.  We are humans, and we are defensive by nature. We are also humans, we make mistakes.

A couple of people have recently told me that I could be extremely aggressive and arrogant. Of course, I felt offended initially. Who wouldn't be? But I did a bit of self-reflection and I guess they're right. I do get incredibly aggressive when I feel like I'm being wronged, and my balls grow a thousandfold, and I immediately attack that person and prove them wrong. I figured that it's not right, so I should probably stop. At least I know when to stop. 

People should really learn when to stop.

Rollercoaster

Today was an adventure-filled day.

I woke up an hour late for school, but completely did not care. The warmth and coolness of my duvet combined with the loveliness of the perfect cuddle weather made getting out of bed feel like torture. Fortunately, I managed to leave the safety of my room just in time to reach class for presentation. To be honest, I am quite disappointed with our presentation. I am grateful, yet disappointed. I give huge props to Aeden for doing everything though. I really can't imagine how hectic his schedule must be.

After class, I went to grab a bite to eat from the Atrium for breakfast and waited at the CCA clubrooms for Samuel and Nicolette to finish their class. After meeting up with them and having too much fun playing with the weirdly shaped chairs there, we headed off to Holland V in search for lunch! I was kind of a bimbo, and we ended up getting off at the wrong stop, but I think that was part of the adventure.

So we had lunch at Wendys, then headed back to school, only to have a free shower on our way to FMS from the bus stop. We then waited 'til 3pm to head off to the conference room for our disciplinary hearing. They basically told us that everything is our fault and that we are childish immature brats who do not give a rat's ass about anyone. This is not, in any way, true.

I was itching in my seat, trying extremely hard to control myself and to chillax before I blow up. Cracking my knuckles, thinking about QTPi, nothing could stop me from feeling rage. AHH. But I managed to control myself and not talk back to anyone! Mrs Yong and Mdm Heng would be so proud.

So basically, today's Liza is an angry Liza. I wrote a 1429-word letter of rebuttal an emailed it to Marc and the deputy director of FMS. I do not care if this will get me into trouble. At least I know that I have stood up for myself and what I think is right. If anyone is interested in a piece of my mind, drop me a message or a comment and I can email it to you.

They say we couldn't. We can, we just choose not to.

Real

Hey,

It's been awhile

Since I last saw you smile

About something I said

Babe,

It's been awhile

Since we last talked for hours and hours and hours

Like how we used to every night

So is this is it, are we over?

Are you mad? Are you sad?

Why don't we talk it out

Let me know what you think

Cos I really don't wanna

Let go of what we have

Or what we had

Baby, what we had was

Real

I don't wanna let you go

Just because you're moving far from home

Well, if home is where the heart is then

My home

Will be a thousand miles away from here

I'm not asking you to stay

But I'm asking you not to run away from

Us

Hey,

I just can't imagine

What it'd be like to not have you around to talk to

Not have you around to hug

Babe,

I just can't imagine

Seeing you with someone else and knowing

That you don't think about me

So is this it, are we over?

Are we giving up that quick?

Why don't we try it out

Let's see how it goes

Cos I really don't wanna

Let go of what we have

Or what we had

Babe, what we had was

Real

I don't wanna you let go

Just because you're moving far from home

Well, if home is where the heart is then

My home

Will be a thousand miles away from here

I'm not asking you to stay

But I'm asking you not to run away from

What we are

What we could be

Don't you want to know

How far we could go

How much I could love you

Don't you think that what we have is

Real

I don't wanna let you go

Just because you're moving far from home

Well, if home is where the heart is then

My home

Will be a thousand miles away from here

I'm not asking you to stay

But I'm asking you not to run away from

All Hallow's Eve

I went to a Halloween event for the first time last friday.

Well I guess I just threw that out of the window. Don't worry, I don't think I'm ever going for another event like that ever again.

Anyway, I didn't think it was all that scary. I admit, I was clutching onto Kelly the whole time, but that was just like natural instinct after I found out that the story was centered around dolls. Yeah, dolls. The one thing that I am so deathly afraid of.

Blythe II by Wasting-time88

I'm not too sure why I'm so scared of dolls. I'm fine with Barbies, but I can't stand Blythe and dolls like that. It just creeps me out. Their perfect hair, perfect complexion, expressionless face and soulless eyes creates the perfect soul-sucking inanimate object. I think that's why I'm so scared of them.

Dolls are these things that are given to little kids, or adults too, that are supposed to being joy and mimic humans, but they don't. They are lifeless beings, forced into a life and a character that their owner wants them to live in. The thought of it is terrifying.

Clowns: by VivaLaLintu 

Another thing I'm scared of are clowns. I can stand looking at them, but I can't be around them. I remember having a big birthday party when I was seven years old and they had to get my two cousins to be my emcees instead of a clown, because I was so scared of them.

I think that being a clown is one of the most depressing jobs in the world. You put a happy face on  and you have to tolerate and entertain people and bratty, annoying little kids for a living. And you have to do this despite however you may be feeling inside. That sucks big time.  

I can't even imagine how it would be like to be a clown. I think that I would just kill myself. They are these people who go around entertaining people, but I think we all somehow know that behind the bright colours and magic, clowns are depressed inside.

I think I'm pretty okay with my fears. I don't think that they are rational fears, but I don't think that they're irrational either. I think some things just get to us and mean more to us than to other people, whether it's in a good way or bad. I find the inner state of dolls and clowns terrifying, but other people probably wouldn't have thought of it before. 

Oh well. Don't get too creeped out this Halloween season. Meow.
