"I Want A Stylish Home" — Pt. 1

I've been reading ish magazines, and they always feature very stylish homes.

I get awestruck every issue.

I'm usually not a bus type of person (everywhere I go, I just take the MRT), but when I do take a bus, it's usually service 14 from my house to Suntec City.

Along the way, from Bedok Road to East Coast road, there is a lot of really nice houses. All the rich folks and their landed property. But seriously, some houses are damned nice! They range from looking all tropical and warm to being sleek and modern.

I'm so jealous.

I'd love for my own penthouse to have a modern-vintage fusion feel. Here are some photos of vintage tiles.

P.S. I make it a point to post photos that I take. It is not fair to grab photos off the Net and plonk it into your blog entry. The law I stand by most firmly is the copyright law. If it's not your image, and you use it without permission, you infringe the copyright law. ALWAYS POST PICTURES THAT ARE ORIGINAL!

P.S.2. I also make it a point not to post pictures of other people, unless of course, you ask for permission from these people. If you really have to post pictures of other people, like your friends, at least make sure they're looking their best. GO LEARN BASIC PHOTOSHOP TECHNIQUES!

Here are MY photos of vintage tiles:



Very Middle Eastern tiles. I've seen in in Malay homes. Very cosy and warm.



Just very vintage floor tiles, I guess. Nice texture and quite durable.



I love these! Got this rustic look to it. With the faux aged stone look complete with faux cracks.



Aiyoh! These... These are just vintage lor. Look at the desaturated colour. But it kinda grows on you.



Hmm... These.... Yellow and green don't actually go together. But these tiles really look quite good eh? Inject a certain element of surprise.

The Ant Bait Update

I've set all three ant baits.

This morning, much to my dismay, didn't really find any ants around the baits. However, there were still ants on the kitchen table.

They were feeding off this French loaf! F***!!! I so wanted to have the bread for breakfast! It's this ultra delectable French loaf from Bedok Central that my mother bought last night. What ill fortune!

So I turned on my built-in ant radar and started to scan for these dreadful but really resourceful f***ers.

So far, I have noted 3 different species of ants. Thankfully, they're quite site-specific. Thankfully, I have 3 baits too!

I realised that I had to bait them at more strategic locations. So I relocated 2 of the ant baits.

Earlier on, I checked on my baits again. I cannot believe that I'm actually happy to see frantic ant trails! This time, I decided not to smother them with powder like I always do.

With a sinister laugh, I bellowed at the freaking creatures:

"FEAST ON YOU LITTLE ONES FOR THERE MAY BE NO SUCH FEAST IN THE FUTURE!

TAKE IT! TAKE IT ALL TO YOUR QUEEN!

LET THE POISON SINK RIGHT IN! LET HER SHRIVEL AND DIE!

TONIGHT, YOU SHALL DINE IN HELL!!!"

All the Char Bor Stuff and Pest-Busting

So... LA.GA bags are designed for char bors actually! Today I was holding my LA.GA bag in my hand, and I realised how slender it was. The shape of the bag is totally char bor lah! It looks really hot if a girl carries it on her shoulder. As a result, the girl will ALSO look hot.

But it's not like I care lah. I still brought it out on a test-drive today. Haha!.. Of course, I DID NOT carry it on my shoulder. Guys with tote is still something I CANNOT take in without feeling bad.

Anyways, I'd like to say that my LA.GA bag is nice to carry, perfect size for me, looks proportionate to my body frame, CAN withstand rough handling and has plenty of room for me to chuck in all my shopping bounty.

Last night, my mother asked, "Tomorrow morning you just help me to anyhow mop the floor first, can?"

I replied, "Wah lau, anyhow mop might as well don't mop at all right. Want to mop then must mop properly what."

"Okay, so you help me to mop the floor properly tomorrow,"

Hence this morning, I spent around 2 HOURS (!!!) sweeping then mopping the floor. It took such a long time because I was REALLY doing it PROPERLY. It's times like this that I feel that my 3-room flat is really big.

It took such a long time also because I had to get a lot of stuff off from the floor before I can sweep or mop it, right? There's just so many things lying everywhere on the floor.

I started with the kitchen first. Got all my equipment ready, including wearing my new pair of raw denim 'cause I need to get it seasoned before I can fade it myself. I'll talk about that some other time.

Just when I started to sweep the kitchen floor, I found a FREAKING ANT TRAIL. I have a hate/fear relationship with ants!

I rushed to get talcum powder from the bathroom and angrily fogged the ant trail with the powder. The powder is from Palmolive, Aroma Therapy series, with 'pure essential oils of lavender, ylang ylang and patchouli', supposed to 'relieve your senses', labelled 'ANTI-STRESS'. So ironic right?!

Got so agitated, but continued sweeping another section of the kitchen. Then...

ANOTHER ANT TRAIL!!!

Same thing with the anti-stress powder lor.

There is an ant problem at home. And I'll take care of it.

I went to get ant poison.

Muahahahaha!...

Stepping Into Wooonderland

Sigh! It's Monday again, whether I like it or not.

It could be a really blasphemous Monday though. Once again, Monday's the day for drawing class! Because there is a focus on drapery, today's drawing topic is 'Historical Female Costume'. Think Greek godesses, French princesses and Egyptian empresses.

We were supposed to bring photo references to class. Somehow I just ended up with a rather holy photo of 'Our Lady'.

The female model poses, we draw what we see. Then, we 'dress up' our model with our choice historical costume.



And then I realised that it was getting rather blasphemous. I was kinda relieved that I only had to do one blasphemous drawing. Then the lecturer dropped the bomb by saying that there was going to be one more pose.



It's kinda imcomplete, my drawings, 'cause we really didn't have much time. Plus I was having a little trouble visualising how the fabric would drape. Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun. The lecturer was quite happy with my work. She enthusiastically told me to finish the drawing at home. Blasphemy!

On another note, I stepped into Wooonderland today!



Very good branding campaign. I hate it when shops scrimp on printing labels. The Woonderland label is really well-printed and the logo is simply orgasmic in terms of design! That's really hot!!

I finally got my second pair of jeans from Dr Denim Jeansmakers!

Then I decided to throw it a LA.GA bag too! LA.GA bags are one-of-a-kind! It's an instant hit on me!

Made from a plasticky material, although it really feels like paper. Ultra durable and ultra hardy, simply perfect for rough handlers like me.

Of Gong-gongs, Chut-chuts and La-las

Live Earth on 07/07/07. Global movement against global warming.

I switched on the TV this morning (technically yesterday morning) to some orchestra playing very worldly music. All for a good cause! I so totally support the Live Earth movement. I did what anyone who cared about global warming would do:

I switched off the TV.

Live Earth on 07/07/07. I was having fun working at the cinema.

After closing time, around 3am, a small group of us went to Lau Pa Sat for supper! Gong-gongs!

I love gong-gongs! You eat it with sambal belachan and it's like the best! We had chut-chut, la-la and mussels, too! It was said that we were testing our bodies' immunity against Hepatatis B. Obviously we were so asking for it lah.

But because we were out for supper only, I had a much easier time telling my mother that I was gonna stay out till late. She doesn't exactly condone nightlife.

In the end, I reached home at 5.30am. Very thankful and appreciative because it's so fabulous to have someone that can fetch us home during late nights.

Later that morning, I was rudely interrupted from my brief stint in dreamland by the sound of thumping bass. You know how bass beats can penetrate walls and doors, right? Thereafter, I was feeling damned tired, but completely unable to fall asleep again.

Then in the afternoon, it's back to work again. A colleague leaving us for NS soon. It was suggested that we should get together for supper.

However, after a spate of paitaos, it came down to a similar small Lau Pa Sat group of people from the day before. The get together became The Second Supper instead. However, this time, we went to Newton Circus! Gong-gongs!

I love gong-gongs! You eat it with sambal belachan and it's like the best! We had chut-chut, sotong, stingray and tom yum soup, too! It was said that we were very hungry. Obviously, we WERE really hungry.

But because we were out for supper only, I had a much easier time telling my mother that I was gonna stay out till late AGAIN. She doesn't exactly condone nightlife.

So now I'm back at home. Very thankful and appreciative because it's so fabulous to have someone that can fetch us home during late nights. F*** cab fares!

I can already imagine The Third Supper! Gong-gongs!

I LOVE GONG-GONGS! YOU EAT IT WITH SAMBAL BELACHAN AND IT'S LIKE THE BEST!

Eating My Words

I said before that I would be create a new look for The Nu Flow. But I changed my mind already. Too much of a hassle. Plus I see no major fault in the current look. In fact, it's growing on me. My obsession with greys...

I'll perhaps do some minor changes here and there, but the overall feel is here to stay.

I also said something about switching hosts. Well, Blogger's been really friendly to me so far, so I'll probably stay with it. I think it's obvious through my entries that I love to post pictures, right?

During my pre-Revival blogging days, I used to dread posting pictures so much because Blogger would just hang and crash the whole computer. But now, hehehe!... I'm having so much fun uploading photos because Blogger is so clever and efficient!

Clever and efficient just like my MacBook. It's true. Mac users often hold high praises for their machines. Once you're down the Mac road, I'm telling you, there's just NO TURNING BACK...

Shipment VS Delivery

I think I kinda made a mistake saying my CD will arrive in two weeks. Because after reading carefully the confirmation E-mail, I realised:

Shipment takes approximately 2 weeks, THEN actual delivery approximately another 2. So I'll have to patient until then. But seriously, shipment and delivery, what's the difference?

I believe I can definitely get used to shopping online.

I Love Myself

These days, basically feeling down in general. Earlier this evening, Kalis SMS-ed her regards after she read the depressing entries.

But I'm damned sure there are more entries that are on a happier note right?

Anyways, today didn't go by too well, but TONIGHT, things definitely looked up much more.

I was online, as would an online addict, then I ordered a CD! Big Brovaz's "Re-Entry". UK R&B collective. Hot in UK, cold in Singapore. I couldn't find the CD anywhere and have bugged the local HMV people for quite some time now. But still no CD leh.

So I went to Amazon.com, found my "Re-Entry" album, and placed an order! Well, it's only natural that I do, don't you think? It all adds up to around S$50. Arrives in a couple of weeks or less. I'm SO EXCITED!

It's my first ever online shopping transaction and I'm so enthused!

Actually, the first thing that happened tonight that lifted my spirits was in the mailbox. Not E-mail Inbox, but home mailbox. It was, believe or not, an M1 BROADBAND BILL. Ya, I know lah, who seriously looks forward to receiving the monthly bill and still can be so happy?

Jana found it weird too. Anyways, it's only because this bill is addressed to yours truly. It's gratifying to finally get a bill that was mine and mine only, and not addressed to my mother or someone else.

Then because I was feeling so good, I decided to reward myself by doing up a fantabulous wallpaper for my MacBook. This way, I would constantly feel good by simply looking at my wallpaper. I took the opportunity to throw it a few self-praise adjectives.


That's really hot eh? I love the greys! So stylo! Plus it complements the blog design. It's like I'm really good at this eh?

Come one people, self-praise is really NO PRAISE AT ALL, unless of course, YOU'RE ME!

A Flower to Brighten Up the Day

Online Addict

Without a computer, I would have died. But now with a computer, why do I still feel like I'm dying?

I think I'm fast becoming an online addict. Time simply whiz by when I'm online. And then before I know it, they day is gone, I've missed my lunch AND breakfast.

Now I see the perils of the WWW. It's addictive. It sucks your soul. It drains you of energy. It's a curse!

Then again, it could be up to me to change things for the better. Let's talk about time management. I believe I have atrocious time management skills. But how you gonna define GOOD time management skills then?

I suppose my way of doing things is more intuitive, rather than systematic. I'm not too sure if it's a good or bad thing. Because intuitive behaviour sometimes hinge on being impulsive too. And some people think that my way of doing things is incompetent. Well, it has been said that one of the habits of incompetent people is intuitive/impulsive behaviour.

Well, take that with a pinch of salt, eh. I definitely would not see myself as incompetent. Maybe I seek the easy way out many a time. Maybe I don't take things too seriously. Maybe I'm kinda inefficient. Maybe...

A hell lot of maybes. I hate it when I'm at this kind of dilemma. Trying to figure things out, yet there are like a gazillion things jumping into your face. Hairianto says it's yet another passing phase.

But seriously, how many of such phases are there? This game of life thing is getting really dreary. It's like constant internal battle. You say one thing, the mind says another, the heart still got cheek to chip it something, and it all becomes a mess. Tangled in a web of reason; the more you struggle, the more tangled you get.

F*** school.

Mmm!-ilo Ice-Cream

You all know how Milo is such a popular beverage. People like it hot AND cold. And we all kinda grow up drinking Milo. Well, maybe not you, but I sure did grow up having Milo for breakfast, though now I'd rather have jasmine green tea.

Then, as an ice-cream lover, I've never really seen Milo ice-cream in stores.

Hence, as a create-ive person, what I can't get, I CREATE.



You'll need:
1. Milo powder
2. Evaporated milk (Usually my mother just calls it Carnation milk 'cause it's got this red carnation on the label)

Okay, let's make ice-cream!

Directions:
1. Mix Milo powder with evaporated milk. Lotsa powder, less of milk.
2. Stir and mix well.
3. Achieve an even consistency. You're looking for the melted ice-cream look. If you're really dumb, buy some cheap ice-cream, let it melt. And your Milo and milk mixture should look and feel more or less the same.
4. Let mixture sit in freezer, stirring occasionally.
5. Agak the timing yourself, depending on amount of mixture.

Eh voila! Milo ice-cream! It tastes like heaven, seriously. Ice-cream lovers can't go wrong with this. For me, I like my ice-cream chunky, with like nuts and stuff. Probably mix in some roughly crushed nuts and it'll be even more perfect!

I find it a little too rich in taste though. I tried adding a little fresh milk to it, but it dilutes the mixture and comes out of the freezer hard as rock. Suggestions?

P.S. The photo damned hot, right?! Like out of a travel guide eh?

The Kitchen Window

Occasionally I look out of my kitchen window only to find an alluring view of pretty cloud formations.



Or there's always the colours of the setting sun, if you're not too into clouds. The blend of orange and blue at dusk is perfect! So romantic, even though it's always just me alone at the window sill.

I would say the nicest spot at home would be by the kitchen window. It's nice to look at the neighbourhood from an aerial perspective. And then just think about this and that, you know.

But most of the time I'm just enjoying the sight. It's very calming to just look at the clouds, passing vehicles and moving people.

Oh, and there are two trees just right in front that house a gazillion mynahs, which will flock in during dusk. It's really amazing how one tree can accommodate so many mynahs!

I remember when I first moved in, which was at least 10 years ago, the incessant chirping of trees full of mynahs during dawn and dusk was almost unbearable. But I just kinda got used to it. In fact, now I think that the chirping brings much life to the neighbourhood.

I also remember feeding pigeons from my twelfth storey kitchen window. You know, I just leave like a piece of bread or something and pigoens will just come and peck at it. It's actually quite gross to be so close to pigeons.

There was one rainy day when I came home from school or something, then I discovered a drenched pigeon perched on a bamboo pole in the kitchen! I was damned frantic at the time! A drenched pigeon leh! How disgusting is that?

It's also really fun to hurl things out of the kitchen window sometimes. See the object fall twelve storeys down. Very interesting what. I used to time how long it took for something to reach the ground.

I know, killer litter. But it's not like I hurl flower pots or anything. Simply for fun, I have thrown slices of bread, wedges of watermelon, and other soft fruits out of the window. Organic stuff only. They need to be degradable once they reach the grass patch on ground floor.

Furthermore, the cats, crows, pigeons and mynahs in the neighbourhood eats all the stuff that I throw out anyways. It's gratifying to see cats rushing out from below the block to check out whatever's landed on the grass patch.

And the watermelon! When I hear watermelon, I instantaneously think of mynahs. Don't mynahs love watermelons? So I'll usually take a couple of bites of my slice of watermelon and then hurl it into one of the trees. Tried and tested, the wedge of melon never reaches the grass patch, but gets stuck in the tree. All the better for the mynahs, don't you think?

Voila! The Kitchen Window.

Nice and Ornamental

Recently, got into the craze for ornamental design.

And perfect on timing, Hairianto asks me for a pair of shoes on which he'd like to see more brown-ness.

Give me ideas like that, and I'll start generating visuals in my head. Sometimes it's just impossible to put in on paper.

And that, I think is the biggest problem I might have in school. Sometimes I just cannot get anything out on paper for the lecturers to see.

A lecturer told me last semester, "You really have to sketch your ideas, we're not psychic, we cannot read your mind... Most of the time if there are no sketches the final output will be really bad."

My first lantern frame! I've been wanting to make one of these 3D star lamps for a long time. Used 30 over pieces of satay sticks and lotsa masking tape.

I referenced it from a craft book, which told to use willow sticks. So exotic- sounding.

But the satay sticks works perfectly well too. And very the local! =D

But I haven't the 'fairy lights' yet. Exotic right?! Seriously, what are fairy lights? I've no idea.

I'll probably just get a normal light bulb or something. Then I'll cover it up with rice paper and my star lamp will be complete.

The only thing is, it'll probably look too good for my home.

And a T-shirt I did for a friend. Really nice and ornamental.

I thoroughly enjoyed painting on the T-shirt with a fine brush.

And the colour! I cannot be more happy with the colour. It gives me the sense of achievement when I mix to get the perfect colour.

My colour perception is kinda instinctive and intuitive. Therefore sometimes I totally nail it and at times I just completely screw it up.

The Great Depression

Very unfortunately, I find myself very depressed again.

Today, I went to school for drawing class. It was very liberating. Nothing like a good drawing session to free up from the evils of the world.

It's really sad that the drawing class had to end. I felt so good during the two hours. Before class started, I was feeling a little off. But when I got down to drawing, all the bad emotions kinda just dissipated. I really liked that feeling. Then the drawing class ended and, very much on cue, the bad emotions came flooding back.

That's exactly how school makes me feel. It's not what I do there, but just simply the fact that I AM there. As I've said, school is a curse to me. I've tried to be good, but it's just so depressing whenever I try.

Working at the cinema, that's liberating for me too. It's a pity that I only get to work during the weekends. That's one great reason why I so look forward to weekends. Weekends are like the end of The Darkness. It's when I feel safe and secure. It's when I'm confident and strong.

Come Sunday night, things just appear bleak, knowing that The Darkness awaits the following day.

Just at this moment when I'm feeling hopeless, my iTunes shuffled to this song titled, 'Hope'.

"...I know it ain't easy, but that's okay, 'cos we're hopeful..."

Christina Aguilera Back to Basics Tour

Hairianto got the S$350 tix to watch his favourite singer live at the Indoor Stadium.

"...what you hear on CDs, is what you hear live, maybe even better!..."

"...pitch perfect the whole time...not a single off-key throughout..."

"...it's not enough...should have been longer..."

"We'll be following very closely to the book for the lessons,"

So says the Web Design lecturer.

In actuality, it's 'I' who follows closely to the book and not 'WE'.

The lecturer nagged constantly as though we were primary school kids, "You gotta buy the Dreamweaver book by week 6 because WE will be following very closely to the topics in the book,"

So fine, I got the Dreamweaver 8 textbook, partly because I like to buy books and partly 'cause they instructed to do so. All right, so I attend tutorial, hoping to learn new tricks from the lecturers on designing for the Web. Quite ethused, thinking that finally I was gonna learn something new.

Remember, 'WE' were going to follow closely to the topics in the textbook.

I still can remember the first Dreamweaver lesson around 4 weeks back. The lecturer gave a brief intro to the Dreamweaver interface. BY READING WHAT WAS IN THE TEXTBOOK. Consequently, she said, "Okay, so you'll read through chapters one to three on your own, and we'll go on to chapter four."

Wow, 'WE' sure were following REAL closely to the book. She followed on, "All right, so you go through the exercises in the book, any questions, feel free to ask,"

Yeah! 'WE' were having lotsa fun going through the exercises in the textbook! 'WE' were learning SO MUCH from one another!

On the lesson two weeks back, the lecturer instructed, "Be sure to go through chapters 8 and 9 ON YOUR OWN, as there'll be a Dreamweaver test when you come back from your break,"

Before that, we had totally skipped chapters 6 and 7. I know you're expecting me to say this, so I'm gonna say it: Damn right! 'WE' were definitely following CLOSELY to the topics in the textbook!

And it just doesn't help that one of the two lecturers IS A COMPLETE BITCH! I have no idea what's wrong with her, but the way she talks to students, it's as though she's damned unwilling to help. She always speaks in an accusing tone, like your always in the wrong. Sounds damned impatient too. She thinks she's all that. For this, I kinda shot dirty glances at her. I always give her the frown.

I think the way I'm sending my messages is quite effective because she never ever checks on me. She'll always just glance over and I'll just give the don't-you-dare-step-on-my-tail look. And she gets it! =D

So back to their bullshit on 'WE' following closely to the book. Whole load of bullshit lah! All the misleading statements that includes 'WE'. So far, it's never 'WE', only 'I'. It's a module for show only. Because seriously, everything can just be self-taught. With the textbook, with the software, with the Internet, I don't see why anyone can't teach themselves.

Perhaps the lecturers are well aware of these facts and try to make themselves feel better by saying the things they say. I mean, who can bear the thought of themselves being just items on display?

I shall stop here. Getting a little too offensive.

Or maybe not.

Freitag Mac Sleeve

Yesterday, I dropped by Actually... at Seah Street and got my Freitag MacBook sleeve! Yay! Been eyeing it for God knows how long already. The sales guy asked me, "You're just getting it like that?" I was like, "Yeah, I've been thinking of getting it for a very long time.

I'm truly a Freitag fanatic. I just cannot get enough of it. But when I'm out, it's kinda freaky, because I'll have my Freitag backpack on, well, my back, my Freitag wallet in my right hand, and NOW, my Freitag laptop sleeve in my left. It gets a little too much sometimes.

Because Freitag bags are made from truck tarps, they tend to smell a little funny at first. Smell funny at first. Smells nice at second and after. I so totally dig the scent of a fresh Freitag product.

A Movie

Earlier on today, I watched 'Hot Fuzz'. It was a way too cool film misguided by a not too attractive poster.

Working at the cinema box office, I have come across many people who got turned off by the poster. The title didn't seem too much of a pull factor too. But anyways, I have to say that it's one great movie.

Of course, I went to see it alone. Own time, own target. Plus I could pay full attention to the movie. There weren't too many people in the cinema either, so I definitely enjoyed myself, thank you very much.

What's awesome about this film is first of all, the number of old people acting in it. My mother always says that the local TV and film industry don't give much exposure to actors once they're old; unlike the ang moh industries. Okay, that could be true to some extent. But back to 'Hot Fuzz'.

So there was numerous old folks in the movie, so what?

Well, old folks sitting around playing chess looking at the world go by, no big deal. But old folks lashing out pistols and shotguns?? BIG DEAL! I mean, how often do you see elderly people sparring in a firearm mayhem scene?

Okay, I guess I'll just leave it at that. That's ONE fabulous thing about the movie you know. If I continue, I'll just reveal the plot. You interested, you go watch it yourself lor.

A lecturer once told me, "You watch a movie the first time, you enjoy it. You watch it for the second time, you analyse it."

Somehow, I find myself analysing the movie while watching the first time. I suppose that's what NYP did to me. You know, they and their staunch belief in us "doing a course on COMMERCIAL design".

I can never mope enough about my education in NYP. Well, you be glad that I don't start.

Not in this entry, at least! =D

Image Entry

See, that I'm really proud of. My creation of a Freitag backpack using collage. Collage is definitely one of my favourite artistic expressions. It's so real, I have to sketch, source for scrap materials, cut and slice them up, and assemble into a final image. I prefer tangible means of artistic expression. I'm a little anti-computer.



We were bored one night after we got off from work.



They had this Shrek3 decoration competition of some sort going on anyway. We thought, this is a winning piece! (but of course we took the paper visor off after that!)

Comeback Kid

Guess who's back?

"Desperation drives a person to all resorts."

I guess that's why I'm back. In this time and day, life without a computer just won't do. It took me way to long to realise that. In school, I'm severely outdated, and damned behind syllabus. It doesn't help that the course is called 'DIGITAL MEDIA Design'. Digital media... That's why there is no way I could survive without a computer at home.

Hence I got a Macbook! Okay, my mother paid for it. It's my first significant step towards being more tech-savvy. A day after I got my Macbook, I signed up for Internet connection. Ta-dah! My first blog entry since forever!

The two-week school break ended last week. What sad news. For two weeks, I took school completely off my mind and went to work instead. It was a very fulfilling period of time. No deadlines, no presentations, no consultations.

But I know the horrible workload from school will come back to haunt me. That's one more piece of sad news. I'm feeling very strongly against school. Maybe it's their system, or maybe it's just me. Either way, I'm not liking things the way they are now.

Nevertheless, always take a step back and look at things on the whole. Much, much better. I guess sometimes, I let school get to my head too much that I forget all the good things around me. There are much better things to look forward to than school. It's when I ask myself, "What did I get myself into?"

Let's just be hopeful, and all will just pass. I just got to keep my focus, be enthused, and hopefully come up with exciting concepts.

And let's just stick to this minimalistic layout okay? I simply love minimalist design. Always looks clean and fresh.

I realised I'm kinda over the whole 'wacky' phase. I think it's all part of growing up. If I really have to go 'wacky', it's more like 'psychedelic' than 'wacky'. 'Wacky' sounds so novice and amateurish, which is so past me already.

I'm definitely coming up with a new look for my blog. But for now, let's just do with this one.
