Again

I have begun writing blog posts again. But not on this blog anymore I think. Visit my other blog for the two latest posts and let the bloodbath begin!!!

New Blog

not an everyday one. another thought blog. how succesful will this be? heck I don't know and I don't care

Well it has been awhile hasn't it

Yeah, well I don't know there was a lot to say. And there was nothing to say.

Where did I last leave all of you?

I think about the hot goth chick whom I did get a last look at before I left for Melbourne. Hahaha. Yeah she was at the same shop at about the same time. Cool. But it was only a glance she left as I came in. Aww...

Anyway, since then what?

Well home was nice I must admit. I have never left for Melbourne and reached with a craving for hometown food. Yes I know its odd. Everyone else that comes here immediately misses food from home. But I never did. Cept for this year, where I landed and I was like man, I want some of that char koay teow. Hahahah.

Speaking of food. I've been having to cook for myself over the past few days. Haha. It is actually a terrible lot of fun. I get to play with a knife! And guess what, I'm eating really healthily! Lots and lots of veges go into my foods. Tomatoes, greens, mushrooms, potatoes. So far had some lamb dishes (curries and fried), noodles, eggs, chicken and a random sashimi (raw salmon hahaha ok I admit the raw salmon doesn't count as cooking - but it did allow some great knife skills!). Meh, my greatest problems seem to be in cooking the staples haha -rice is overcooked, potatoes undercooked. Lol I'll get it right! Damned cooking rice in microwave is tricky.

Uni started with a few surprises. For one, I am finding we are not all as inept at dentistry as I thought we were. Haha. How great is that! Well it looks like it's going to be a tough year. But I think that mostly stems from the revision and possibly the management of so many things - clinics, projects, research, presentation cases, exams, oral exams - the list goes on. Knowing my scatter brainness at times, I may miss a couple of things. Which is not a good thing. Then again, I have always pulled through, so hey, we'll get there.

The two clinic sessions I have had have been amusing to say the least. Man I have such a free reign on my patients I feel so... empowered? And I am very happy I got Dr Choo last sem as my demonstrator. Haha - cos she was so much more fastidious, so now all the demonstrators who see our writeups are like wow... that's so detailed. It's great. Also I get so many more options to choose from and stuff. It's great. It's a heavier responsibility I guess cos now I can make mistakes and the consequences are worse. But I kinda thrive under these conditions. It's like driving a car. With dad beside me badgering me about every aspect I become a bad driver. The moment he is out of the car, all his advice plays immediately and I am a pretty good driver. Haha. just how I work I guess.

Came back, have decided I will take things as easy as they allow. Take adequate breaks and release myself from too many responsibilities. Which I guess it's about time I spent more time focused on me. Time to stop doing all these silly activities and realise the things that I want to do and ought to be doing more properly. Like my art and my ideas and Warhammer models! Haha. My plan is to make a gigantic model. It will cost like hell though. But man if I could make it wouldn't that be sweet.

I just pulled all of the Warhammer models out of the box. Looking at them I feel quite proud of them. Haha. It wasn't a bad run for a completely inexperiences model painter. But they sure costed a pretty penny though. Not enough money to really properly expand the set. Lol I wonder if I did whether I would find anyone to actually play with. May be good fun. Haha. I honestly don't think I have time nor money :( Maybe it can be one of those pursuits of mine when I'm actually working XD

Well that's all for now. Maybe another day I cna type something about the ideas that have been running through my head. They aren't very exciting though. :P still waiting for the world to end.

Catchya'll

Run down of the holidays

So these holidays

(1) Went to see a dentist. Learnt that there are a lot more ways to skin a cat and that in private practive Malaysia you can get away with a lot and patients really do expect different things.

(2) Wrote and drew a comic which I'm obviously too proud off and should receive something to squash my head back to original size. Hopefully will be inked and coloured by the end of next year. (heh...)

(3) Had lots of good food

(4) Lots and lots of time to think. Think think think think think

(5) Good relaxation (poor sleep though) and lots and lots of anime. Samurai 7 - gotta find it just for the sword fighting. I love fluid anime sword fighting.

(6) Daniel Higgins came along. Spent a few days running around with him showing him Penang. Climbed up to the top of the hill for the first time ever. Yay. Achievement. I'm not so weak after all. Could still afford to build up.

(7) Did not attempt excersice from sincere knowledge that keeping to an excersice regime here will not be adhered to. Some days I really feel like I could do with some cardioresp though.

(8) Had many discussions with Shaun over the net. Mostly about evolution and the existence of God. Stalemates mostly. Consensus on my part for now is evolution is in fact a design. No one knows if God is real through hardcore scientific methods.

(9) Catching up on MSN with other friends. Intersting talks all.

(10) Staving off boredom. Success rate this year has been far better than previous years. Kudos to me. Don't feel like returning to Melbourne so soon. Sick of social politics at college when I care to remember them.

(11) Fighting with siblings. Always good fun. Good for thickening the blood ties.

(12) Thinking. Did I mention thinking?

(13) Watching movies at the cinemas. The line up this year end is pretty poor. Eragon is a flop. Writer was interesting in his own way. Book drags on a bit. Big atheist. Spent three pages explaining why religions can't be real in Eldest. Kinda weird setting in a fantasy novel. Oh well.

(14) Getting ready to go back.

End of report

An Interesting Post

Dedicated to a girl I saw today at a restaurant! Hurrah!

Lol! It's been awhile since I goggled but goggled I did :P Let me explain.

It was lunch and my whole family, all six of us, went into this German sausage restaurant. A brief scan and obviously I caught sight of this girl sitting with her mom. At first there was no real impact. She had nice features, roundish face with large eyes not found on most chinese. So I looked away and went back to my table.

I sat down in the erm... correct seat, allowing me full view of her from the side. Then it suddenly struck me just how gorgeous she was. I guess firstly I'm biased because she was dressed like a goth. Black cotton single piece short dress, large metallic watch/bracelet, black straight hair with the faintest tinge of red at the ends, eyeshadow, black nail polish and a dusky lip colour. What I thought was the most attractive factor (besides the tight clothes that revealed a truly curvaceous body) was her almost perfect skin. It was tanned dark and evenly all over, and perfect silky smooth. Besides the bcg scar on her left shoulder, that was it. In fact I'd be pressed to say that is the most perfect skin I've come across.

Well, I basically spent the whole time oggling at this girl. When I realised that... she kept making frequent turns to stare at the 'door'. Or was it me...?HAHAHAHA! I don't know whether I was giving her the heebie jeebies or whether she also was heh, checking me out. HAHAHA

And I'm not going to listen to what any of you say because my ego wants to inflate and I know everyone is going to say that she was probably getting the creeps from my staring. I choose to remain obliviously ignorant XD.

K, thx, bye. Just needed to tell someone. :P

I'm alive!

Yeah this is to say I'm alive and well.
Back home in Malaysia now.
Got an attachment with the dentist which is awesome. See how much I dare bother him.
Drawing a lot a lot. Which is good. Got a little surprise lined up.
Life is easy.
The weather is too damned humid. Australia has finally aclimatised me.
Peace.

Silence

Although I must admit I enjoy to draw in public, there is something about lonliness that creates a different aspect to creating stories and drawings.

For one it's a lot harder. I love to impress the crowds. I like it when people say oh cool or wow or that's so pretty. Shallow one might claim but that does not mean I do not like it. Alone my language gets even more lyrical then I often bother with.

Here in the quiet I do not need someone to understand what I say nor mean. My thoughts are fragmented parts of a large jigsaw with the pieces all connected the wrong way. It is a different kind of world. And yet, the ideas I spin in the quiet often turn out to be the strongest and the longest lasting. And the coolest :D

So I have a couple of days in the quiet. And then I will return to my family at home. Things may also be quiet there.

But no. The seasons have changed this year. I think in terms of personal growth I pretty much stayed the same for the last three years. Something or other must have snapped and broken inside this year. And I know that conditions will not be the same any longer. What kind of conditions? I can't really say for sure, but just... conditions.

As expected I am not the only one in flux. I can also feel the change in people close to me. Those who were of my same year level at least. Juniors still stay as juniors haha. My closest friends from home have both changed... or reached some kind of epiphanies. So I am not alone in change. Funnily enough, I think this is also the period of life that my father underwent more or less the same experiences. I read somewhere that unknowingly we often retrace our parents footsteps, reaching the same realisations and understandings at the age they did.

Oh well. Let's experience a little more silence and hear what the earth has to say.
