Breakfast.

A hearty home-made breakfast to kick start a long dreadful day ahead. :D

The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'. If you know what I'm getting at.

By the end, the brothers find that balance, when they touch each other on the shoulder over breakfast and it's understood that what should never have driven them apart almost drove them apart. I think that's a true moment, really.

The importance of breakfast, who really gives a damn about it? I do. As a matter of fact, I'd be appreciating it more than ever now.

"Expect problems and eat them for breakfast."

SNORE.

After 2 crazy nights in school, I finally got back home to bathe in the late afternoon and directly went down for the prize presentation that evening. I never imagined it'd actually be such a big event; showcasing of vintage automobiles, tree plantings, guest of honour MM Lee, etc.

What can I say? "Bad day, bad timing." I had to skipped the dinner reception with an empty stomach(that I regretted, BIG time) and I didn't even get to shake MM Lee's hands before I rushed off, back to SP...

Got back and stayed over for another night till this morning to finish up with the rest of the subission requirements. Plywood model done in 1:100 scale, base measurement of 1.4m by 0.5m, the problem with it? Way too big and heavy to be done at home, let alone of bringing back and forth, resorting to camp over in studio...

The studio feels exactly like hell with fluorescent lightings, no joke, seriously... While having to bear with the humidity that was always rising, 'cos the air-conditioners aren't suppose to be working over the weekends, thus ended up having to go half naked...

Towards the end, manual hand drawn drawings was the worst. One can physcially black-out in a split second; without even knowing it, taking a closer look at my drawings, TADA! "additional-unwanted-strokes" on them. -_-" Had to redraw and redraw, very much up to the limit of my maximum 'blowing' point. Was so fedup. ARGH.

Atlas, it's all over for now, submission done... Next step. Crit week. Hallelujah.

Now? To accumulate back my needed hours of sleep.......................... T.T

GOODNIGHT. GOODMORNING. GOOD AFTERNOON. & GOODNIGHT AGAIN.

"Death's brother, Sleep."

Rush.

2 posts in 2 days after a long period of dormancy is odd, I know but who comes with these annoying ubiquitous code boxes anyway?

Forgive me for this sparingly emo one-liner post.

I've learnt that the lesser time I have to work with, the more things I get done.

Think its very true for many of us, ain't it? (:



"What may be done at any time will be done at no time."

It Poured & It Rained.

Okay, I admit it, this blog seems looks and is more or less DEAD.

A storm in a coffeepot, sounds like what's going on in my head. Today, was, a very good day. Feel like something heavy was let go.

The rain couldn't affect me like it normally does... no it added to the good stuff. If only everyday could be this...

"Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last day you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will."

Lost Generation.

I am part of the lost generation
And I refuse to believe that
I can change the world

I realize this maybe a shock but...
"Happiness comes from within."
is a lie, and
"Money will make me happy"
So in 30 years I will tell my children
they are not the most important thing in my life
My employer will know that
I have my priorities straight because
work
is more important than
family
I tell you this
Once upon a time
Families stayed together
but this will not be true in my era
this is a quick fix society
Experts tell me
30 years from now I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce
I do not concede that
I will live in a country of my own living
In the future
Environmental destruction will be the norm
No longer can it be said that
My peers and I care about this earth
It will be evident that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic
It is foolish to presume that
There is hope.

And all of this will come true unless we choose to reverse it.

There is hope.
It is foolish to presume that

Although it is not something big but I'm delighted to have such a pleasant notice of 'cos. Still, same goes, "I'm definitely glad that at least I gave it a shot. (:"



"It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop. "

The First Sign.

It've been 6long months since I'm finally able to be donating blood again. Yupp, I could still "vividly"(I try very hard not to, that's why.) remember that dark, horrifying period of my chicken pox days back in April, it was just terrible... Terrifying flashbacks of those !@#@$@*@#! images in my mind... Just simply thinking of it, is enough to give me the creeps. Urgh!... thankfully it's all over now. :D

Today's my fifth time committing to blood donation. Hopefully, in the next 5years(1donation-3months) to come, I will be able to reach my sole target of a total 25donations. Of 'cos I'd continue to commit, if I'm still here on planet Earth in time to come after that 5years, that is. Life's never too short, I'd certainly wished I'm able to go further too...



Best of all, I knew I wasn't suppose to be drinking especially after I had made a blood donation. But heck, I still went ahead. Came home(which I didn't intend to initially), lucky I've managed to control till then before I puked every-yucky-thing out, I could see the bits of century egg from the porridge I had consumed earlier on just before we left for home.

What I'd be expecting to happen, actually happened, I noticed that the damn wound from the needle hole started bleeding profusely when I was trying to flush the puke down the toilet bowl. Great just great... Right now, I'm sitting down here, semi-conscious, half awake, in front of my laptop, composing this very post while trying to stop the bleeding on the other hand... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.



"It's not surprise I won't be here tomorrow. I can't believe that I stayed till today."

AVIEL!

Aviel's "nanny" for the day... \/(T__________________________T)"\/

For every 2-3minutes this little one would come peeping through the door which seem either way too huge or over-sized for him, would be squeaking away,

"What you doing?" >>> :D

And when you're taking way too long to reply him or simply when he thinks that you're totally ignoring him, this attention-seeker would try to squeak even louder and draggier just to get your attention,

"What you dooooooooooooooooooooooooooiiinng?!?!" >>> >:(

It doesn't matter if you've replied to his question 2-3minutes earlier on, he'll still be asking you the above same question repeatedly, over and over again whenever he comes through that door. Sheesh... to the very extend you... well... can't be bothered to anymore! But who would bear to break his little heart? :D Hence, I've been "entertaining" him for the whole afternoon. HAHA.

There was this time whereby I noticed him munching hard on something that seem a little "extreme" for that small mouth of his. Whilst, trying to poke some fun into him at the same time, I started throwing him questions in the exact same manner and tone of his, \m/(^__________________________^)\m/

"Aviel, what you eating?" >>> O_O"

"Choc-let!" >>> v^^,

"Nugget?" >>> O=

"Nooooooo!... Choc-let!!!" >>> ):

"Oh... is the nugget yummy?" >>> (:

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I'M EATING CHOC-LET!!!" >>> >:(

HAHAHA! Okok, it was CHOCOLATE that he was busy munching away. Well, I ought to thank Aviel thou, thanks to him, he had made my long, dreadful day both a happy and an enjoyable one. There's always, always, always something to be thankful for. (:
