GIMP Day 3

Learnt to be observant. Obviously there are so many flaws in this work but I will definitely improve on it!! Fighting!!

Topsy Turvy Sleeping Habits

Leading a topsy turvy life now.  I sleep mostly in the day and wake up in the evening or late afternoon.  I’m the most awake at night.  This is not good, not good!!!

Learning GIMP

Tried colouring drawings with GIMP for the whole of this morning.. Being the lousy artist, it was a tiring task and the outcome wasn’t good either..But I think I understand GIMP’s functions and shading a lot more.. The eyes are horrendous though and I was so fed-up trying to shade the hair that i cover it with black in the hair to become a bombastic hairstyle….. See for yourself..hahah

Nice song

Was tidying up my music albums in iTunes on Sat when I came across this song which was very popular some years back.  The song is titled  ” 不值得” and was sung by a local grp of singers called 梦飞船 which has since disbanded. The music is really soothing and it’s kinda sad if you look into the lyrics.

不值得

By 梦飞船
除了想你除了爱你
hu ~我什么什么都愿意
翻开日记整理心情
hu ~我真的真的想放弃
你始终没有爱过
你在敷衍我
一次一次忽略我的感受
我真的感到力不从心
无力继续
这感情不值得我犹豫
不值得我考虑
不值得我爱过你
这种回忆不值得我提起
不值得想起
不值得哭泣
这段感情早就应该放弃
早就不该让我浪费时间找奇迹
这样的你不值得我恨你
不值得我为你而坏了心情
我决定不为你而毁了心
放弃爱你
除了想你除了爱你
hu ~我什么什么都愿意
翻开日记打开心情
hu ~我真的真的想放弃
你始终没有爱过
你在敷衍我
一次一次忽略我的感受
我真的感到力不从心
无力继续
这感情不值得我犹豫
不值得我考虑
不值得我爱过你
这种回忆不值得我提起
不值得想起
不值得哭泣
这段感情早就应该放弃
早就不该让我浪费时间找奇迹
这样的你不值得我恨你
不值得我为你而坏了心情
我决定不为你而毁了心
不为你而放弃爱情
不为你而毁了心
我决定不为你而毁了心
放弃爱你

Intestines Magnified

Was feeling bored and felt like drawing something. This is supposed to be the magnified view of the bacteria in the intestines. Realised I forgot to differentiate b/n the good and bad bacteria but anyway it’s just a random illustration of how they might be having fun inside… Bleh….

Leeloos Tune

First heard of Leeloos’ Tune on Maksim’s cd but I couldn’t find his rendition of it online.  Here’s a Youtube video of someone else playing it.   Not bad for a 13 yr old boy? Really like the song leh…cos it just seems to be able to strike a chord with my soul.

Here’s Maksim playing the original Flight of the Bumblebee in one of his concert.  I wonder how much are his hands insured for….hahaha

Then an interview of him.  Veri good-looking hor? His eyes can 电死人. He’s married:-(

Facebook Mania

The Facebook craze is raging right now and I just got hooked. I only realised so many people are on it after I attempted to add friends by importing my email contacts to the website.  If you still dunno what Facebook is now, just go do a search.   It has got much much more functionalities and applications than Friendster.

There are so many applications that can keep you busy 24 hours a day.  Be it a bite on your friends’ vampires, having a foodfight, sending asses into the air,buying gifts and drinks for friends, poking friends or getting poked, having sheeps thrown at you, drawing graffiti, taking quizzes as such, whatever actions you can think of, they have it there.  New applications are created everyday and they’re endless. It’’s simply quite amazing.  Of course all these activities actually take up your time.  Seems like the virtual world has totally evolved.  You can’t say it’s a complete waste of time cos it’s still a form of social networking.  It’s simply a case of managing your time on Facebook and not go overboard, especially when at work.

I didn’t exactly pay any attention on it for the past 1 to 2 months until recently, when I’ve got more time on my hands…hahaha.  Applause to the founders of Facebook!!

PSP and Wii

Nothing to do now while I’m at the cafe waiting for the movie to start so I’m going to blog about my gaming sets…

I’m glad I bought the Wii set:)  It has proven itself to be an entertainment set for my family(for all the kids and myself at least).  When all the kids are present, they actually have to q up patiently for their turn to have a go at the games.  It’s the only time we can keep them in control in the house…hahah.

With its motion sensors it’s really a break-away from the conventional gaming console of pressing buttons during gameplay.  It gets you out of the couch for some kickass actions.  Even though the graphics on Wii games might not be as fantastic as the Xbox or PS3, its interactivity makes up for it.   Can you imagine executing a virtual surgery and pinching glass pieces wedged in patients using the conventional remote controllers?  The Wii controllers makes this so much more realistic due to the location of it’s buttons and sensors.  Now I’m awaiting the Bleach game to do crazy slaying of the Shinigamis, demons and executing Bankais.  I also like the Internet channel cos with that, I am able to go online and watch my favourite Youtube videos.

The PSP is simply another fantastic gaming console for people constantly on the go.  It shows very clear graphics with its screen and if you have the extra cash to get a higher memory e.g 4G MS, it can double up as a mp3/movie player as well.  The only thing I dislike is its weight cos it’s a tad heavy to lug around.  But with the Slim version out on the market now, I guess there will be more buyers.  I want the rose pink PSP!!! It really looks nice.  My black PSP is too heavy and bcause I did not “armor” it heavily enough, it has some scratches already.  Some of the more entertaining games which I have tried includes Samuria Warriors, DJ Max 1 and 2, Burnout Legends and Medal of Honour.  To speak the truth, I haven’t been spending as much time on the PSP as I wanted simply because there are many things to do that I can only devote 1-2 hours to it per week or even only once in a month.  I have to make sure I study my Korean(which is progressing slower than a snail’s pace), improve on my Photoshop skills and also produce nicer and better accessories for sale.  I must say that being creative is really not easy!!!!!!!   I guess creativity could be an inborn ability and cos I don’t have that instinct in me, I have to spend a bit more time and extra effort to get my creative juice flowing.  Many times, I can only stare at the parts and have no idea what I should do or I wold start off something and give up halfway cos I couldn’t continue it.  Is this retribution for what I did in my last project?hahahah….

Anyway I’m gonna be busy for a short project which I can’t say anothing about it right now.. It will be an interesting experience(I hope!!).  On the other hand, it could be quite tiring and stressful as well cos I do not have the experience compared to others in the group.  I’m gonna try hard no matter what!!!

Keeping my fingers crossed

I didn’t notice when my breathelessness started. It all started after I experienced a bit of discomfort in my left chest one morning and I was wondering if it could a sign of any heart problems.  It seems that I need to take a deep breathe now every 15-20 secs regardless of whether I was sitting or lying down.  If I was walking, it would be one deep breathe every 15-20 steps.  I had trouble falling asleep too.

The doctor advised that it could be a gastric problem which could have cause the diaphyram to be lodged against the chest.  He prescribed some medication for me to get rid of the wind and see if the condition gets better in a week’s time.  If not I would be referred to another specialist clinic to do a calcium test to check for blockage of blood vessels.  Keeping my fingers crossed for the next few days and I will wean off the medication in 1 more day so that I will see if the symptons return.  But so far, I’m glad that I feel much better after the medication now and the breathless signs have decreased.  I can sleep better at night too but that could be cos of th sleeping medication that I was given too.  Will keep track of the next few days and see what happens again.

I realised that I had taken the ability to breathe for granted all along. Please learn to appreciate your ability to breath because it’s the reason why you’re alive and reading this blog.

Coffee

Just had a drink over at Gloria Jean’s in Vivocity.  I never realised that their coffee was quite good actually until today.  I was even happier to find out that they do coffee art as well. It makes your coffee-drinking even more pleasant, don’t you think so?
