This is where the magic happens

I will never have children

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.
