December
Okaye, so my cat passed away. I'm still mourning but then again nothing stops me from having a life of my own. I sound so evil and heartless. But really, I LOVE ZIZOU TO BITS.
I swear to god, this year passes by so quickly that it amazes me that it's going to be 2009 in just matter of days. I guess i've got alot of anticipation and anxiety for 2008; which really stirs the hands of the clock even much faster. Faster than how the mind thinks sometimes.
Well, expect an end of year entry soon or early next year. The summarised version of 2008. The good and the bad, the ups and the downs. What are my resolutions for 2009? Honestly, i'm bringing forward my resolutions from like 4 years ago? HAHA Obviously, i highly predict that i'm gonna even bring it forward to 2010 hurhur. So what's the damn point of having a resolution then? It's just weird if you don't have resolutions for the New Year, it's like no turkies for christmas, or no queues when there are free things. =/
I'm having my bloc leave now and honestly, only 2 days of leave so far and i've already screwed my sleeping hours. I swear i can adapt to the late hours like a chameleon to the environment. Tsk. Anyway, i've got a movie line up for me to feast on and i can't wait for that.
"...2008..."
My cat gave his final meow earlier.
Gonna miss Zizou terribly.
There goes, a part of my family.
20th September 1999 - 27th December 2008
"...=(..."
Hohohuh?
Greetings to one and all. It's finally Christmas, and i don't really want it to end. Well unfortunately, to climax of this festive season happens to be an unfortunate one.
My cat is dying.
Yeah, my cute fat cat is dying because of a failing kidney which apparently has hit to a critical condition. Sigh. I love my cats, all of my cats so it saddens me so much that my cat right now is in such a state. He is currently now now on drip, where i keep my constant watch on him. Feeding his medication promptly and cleaning him up. Well, he's very weak and couldn't move for nuts; it hurts me so bad to see my cat in such agonising pain. Well; the doctor predicted say another 15 weeks or lesser. Well, but with the state he is in right now; it doesn't look promising AT ALL. Well, i do not want to put him down because i couldn't bear to do so. I don't mind spending every cent of my bank for his treatment and taking care of him until his last meow.
He's right now beside my bed under the blankets lying motionless eversince he was discharged from the vet this morning. Well; i've made his corner as comfortable as it gets just for him to enjoy the quality and quantity of life that he has left. Oh my god, i loveee this dear cat of mine; and i'm being a pussy if i were to cry here. No pun intended. HAH.
Anyway to everyone out there; here's a greeting from me to you :)
"...hohoho...."
173 people trapped for 6 hours on Singapore Flyer
Fire broke out in the control room of the world's tallest observation wheel Tuesday, trapping 173 people hundreds of feet above the ground for hours and forcing rescuers to lower 10 passengers to safety by rope.
Two passengers were hospitalized with minor ailments.
During the six hour ordeal, passengers were able to talk with officials via intercom and rescuers tethered to harnesses brought them sandwiches and soft drinks, said general manager Steven Yeo.
"It took a while," Yeo said. "Some of them were a bit disturbed."
The 165-meter (541-foot) Flyer, which has carried 2 million passengers so far, is about 100 feet (30 meters) taller than the London Eye, formerly the world's tallest observation wheel. It was built by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Technicians were able to get the wheel moving again a little more than six hours after it ground to a halt and most of the passengers exited normally, Yeo said.
The wheel, known as the Singapore Flyer, has stalled twice before for about an hour each time since it began operating in February.
"This is the first time that something of this nature has happened, where people were hospitalized," Yeo said.
A 70-year-old woman complaining of dizziness and a 10-year-old boy who vomited were taken by ambulance to a hospital, Civil Defense Colonel N Subhas said.
The 10 passengers closest to the ground were evacuated by harnesses attached to ropes, and civil defense rescuers were planning to bring the rest of the passengers to safety the same way when the wheel's power was restored, Subhas said.
The Flyer was to shut down for at least one day to allow for repairs and an investigation, Yeo said.
Angels and Demons, The Movie
To some, the “Da Vinci Code” was an international blockbuster that made $758 million all over the world. To others, it was a disappointing translation of the bestselling book that currently stands at a lowly 25 percent approval rating on RottenTomatoes. So, when super-screenwriter David Koepp (“Spider-Man,” “Jurassic Park”) was brought in to adapt “Angels & Demons” into a sequel, did the “Da Vinci” filmmakers offer any notes based on the criticisms they received from that second group?
“No,” insisted Koepp. “They don’t really give you notes in relation to the first film, especially since I wasn’t there. I didn’t have anything to do with the first film. Ron [Howard] and his collaborators probably had conversations among themselves about what they wanted to do differently, as you would on any sequel. But since I didn’t have anything to do with it, I was dealing with this as its own thing.”
And in the eyes of Koepp, he didn’t see anything in “Da Vinci” that needed tweaking. “No. Anything I say there would be critical [of the first film]. So no, not really,” he laughed. “Well, the shorter hair. They went with shorter hair [on Tom Hanks] in this film, which I think was a good choice.”
Koepp (whose most recent writing/directing effort “Ghost Town” hits DVD and Blu-Ray December 27th), said that while he didn’t write in a haircut scene for Hanks in “Angels,” he was glad to hear that the superstar would be ditching his controversial hairdo. “People obsess over strange things,” he marvelled. “And it never occurs to you while you’re making a film that ‘This will be something they’ll be talking about’.”
Instead Koepp chose to stay true to Dan Brown’s bestselling novel, and continue envisioning Robert Langdon as a modern-day version of a literary legend. “What’s interesting is now he’s not a new character to us, we’ve met him before,” Koepp said of the “Angels” Langdon. “And what I was thinking going into it is he’s now like Sherlock Holmes; this is a detective – in this case of history and literature, science and art – who they come to with these impossible-to-solve mysteries, which he solves using his erudition. And I thought that was really fun.”
Now, “Angels” & Demons” is in the home-stretch for its much-anticipated May 15th release, promising to give $758 million worth of giddy fans more of the same. And Koepp said things are looking good. “I’ve seen a couple cuts of it, and I think it’s really great. Tom Hanks is fantastic in it, and it comes out in May. So I’ve got a couple more months’ work on it, and then it’s done,” the writer said. “It turned out great; I really liked it."
So i am looking forward to Angels and Demons, despite the disappointing Da Vinci Code, do not ask me why ok. =)
Even though Christmas is not entirely over yet, but i really do not want it to be over. My Christmas party over the weekends was really good. What can i ask more? Company of extremely close friends which i regard them as much as family; much love la. Thank you so much for coming guys, your presence were much appreciated. I tried my very best to entertain everyone of you hahaha but i hope you guys had your share of fun.
I'VE ALREADY GENERATE VIBES IN MYSELF FOR NEXT YEAR'S PARTY HAHA.
For those that decided to go m.i.a during the VERY last minute, thank you very much for giving me more pressure of re-arranging the gift exchange session, again and AGAIN (well that wasn't only it). Nothing beats this season with a little heart break doesn't it. *rolls eyes*
For those who couldn't make it and HAD INFORMED me way earlier, i really wished you guys were there man, but don't worry there's always another year and more to go =)
That's that, Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year Ya'll!
"...hey ho mistletoe..."
I have no clue what happened to my finger but it's all swollen now.
Well the pain is pretty tolerable but then again, pain is still pain; IT FUCKING HURTS LA.
Other than that, i'm typing without the aid of my index finger. It sucks cause somehow the motions are causing this throbbing pains through my finger. GAH.
Breaking The Bounds
Hello world! How's everything coming along? Despite the yoga banning issues, Mumbai bombings and Thailand's third prime minister in 4 months; i guess everything else is well for this festive season yeah? Bah. Anyway, seriously my muse has been on a long hiatus thus the empty entries lately.
Well, i'm back... for now that is.
I've visited the loo for 4 times during the past hour, seriously my bladder thinks that its some squeeze toy or something. My mind is running on mundane and boring. I lead my life daily in such a routine that it bores the shit out of my mind. You know what i need?
A holiday.
I've got huge plans for next year actually. I've got plans for Batam, Hong Kong and U.K. Well, obviously i'm looking forward to drop by big ol' London. THEN AGAIN, that's the end of next year. But i need to start early for huge savings for that trip. Oh yeah i totally forgot, i'm going KL in march next year. Why KL? God knows. Seriously, god knows man. Well, i've not been overseas for quite some time so anywhere is good alright. I'm not asking for much here; so where ever i go, i'll totally cherish each and every moment of it. Woohoo! Especially London (i know i'm bias) Hur.
Talking about London, the past week i've been chatting with my niece who is situated in Bristol, London. I was quite appalled with her comments. Well not technically from her, but from my cousin; indirectly. The kid has a keen interest in design and photography which is apparently a huge disapproval from her mom. Why? Because by becoming a designer equals to being stupid. Pardon me if i'm harsh here but what i heard/saw was that her mom wants her to be a doctor because doctors are smart and intelligent. (How cliche is that?) By becoming a designer, i won't learn anything about science, maths, geography and wonders of the world.
Seriously, that hurt me. ALOT. Especially coming from a relative.
I know kids can be relatively direct, but at least i know how other people regards other people's profession as.
Does she know that i'm a designer?
Yes.
Does she knows that my entire family runs along the the creative line?
Yes.
Does this means, she wants to be the only one that the entire family line should be proud off because she's off a different profession? How ignorant can one be. I did want to ask her, is she a doctor herself? But apparently there wasn't any opportunities. So i'll hold on to this burning question in me.
I believe everyone uses whatever they've learnt back in school to what they are doing now. By being a genius; doesn't mean you'll be doing something that you are happy with. My mom knew i've had a flair for the arts and she knew i did pretty well back in school. But she never ever put grades over passion. I guess you can have a high IQ, but can you have an EQ to match? Yes doctors are intelligent, smart and the profession exudes a status that everyone is in a wow for. How entirely smart can you be? With experiences from all the doctor's that i've met, they lack of one thing. Personality. Which definitely equals to boring. Bah. I can go on, but i decided not too. To summarise things up, i'm quite shock with how people can still be part of this stereotyping phase. We're reaching to a level where men and women shares the same equality but yet some conservative notions are still being practised. Sigh.
Randomly hahaha, here's some pics from Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2008. You horny males out there, come and get some. Cheerios.
"...:)..."
Well, it's not entirely me if i don't rant about how much i love christmas. Heh.
I've always love this time of the month; not that it's snowing but somehow or rather Christmas always puts me in a joyful mood. Well, i'm not celebrating it because of the birth of Jesus or anything, i'll get crap from all the muslims out there if i do.
Christmas is the most prettiest time of the year, and it truly marks the end of year to me. I'm celebrating it just because it's an occassion to celebrate the holidays; a very festive season. I've always loved the christmas deco decked down town, i've always loved christmas trees, glitter and many more pretty things that comes along with Christmas. Well, no harm celebrating the things i love eyh?
I'm having my christmas party again and for those who got invited via facebook, get your glamourous outfit out of your wardrobe this instant. :) I can't wait for that!
Sigh. I love christmas.
I just finished watching Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2008-2009.
I was blown away.
I expected it trashy like the other 2 years before; because the one that was worth watching was the production back in 2005 where fashion and set came in tops. But this year; i was proven wrong. Trashy it was not! (Except for some models) I was entirely in awe with the set. I mean yes, i love doing up sets especially for fashion shows. Victoria Secret shows had always been gimmicky but to the extend that i loved it. It's theatrical and exaggerated to the extreme. This year's set = gorgeous. Who cares about the glittered runway or the silver palm trees; the graphics used on the concave walls were spectacular. Especially at the finale when the concave walls became transluscent to portray a picturesque view of the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel engulfed in pyrotechnics.
Each segment was being executed tremendously and it's the first Pink segment that i thought was rather substantial and Karolina was fun to watch there. I've always thought The Tings Tings - That's Not My Name is rather suitable for the segment and apparently i'm in sync with the choreographer's mind haha. The idea of a horizontal runway just like a concert stage was different but utilised to its maximum. Each transition into each segment was amazing; ranging from the fantastic soundtracks and it's the second time they used The Killers for their shows. Except for the opening; that featured Usher singing his new single and Yeah. Yeah was so 2003 but i guess it has always been a crowd favourite when it comes to bringing the house down.
Selita who actually looked rather good with her bob hair style, Karolina exudes elegance and poise, Alessandra and Heidi; THE HOTTEST MUMS EVER. How do you get so fit after pregnancy man and they sure look damn good after giving birth man. Well everyone looked ultra good. Miranda matured tremendously with this show; and she looked fantastic. I didn't particularly liked Marissa Miller, erm a few models that i couldn't recall what their names were. A little fashionista in me; i loved the shoes worn for their segment where they had the Killers latest soundtrack. Though the shoes caused some cuts and pains for the models but hey who say's modelling is all glamorous yeah? It's the first time it wasn't set in a Christmas theme which is good. It gives the whole summer vibes afterall it is in Florida yeah.
The set production. I wished one day i could design such set. It was spectacular; to me that is. I loved every grandeur aspects of it. Sigh such mind blowing productions.
P.S. A mall christmas deco that i design clinched 3rd for best deco islandwide :) Hey at least i'm a step nearer to my dreams of designing fantastic sets yeah?
"...are we humans..."
Sigh
I've not been blogging seriously lately but truth be told; part of my trait that can never be thrown away is definitely being plain LAZY. Besides being the sloth that i am, my muse is sure not doing its work for the past few weeks. I've got a gazellion photos to upload. From engagements to dinner parties and many more.
I don't feel like myself lately. I feel utterly miserable at times, with unsound and vague thoughts running wild in my mind. Do you call these ordinary melancholia? Or do i have hidden agendas/problems that i suppressed even further in myself? I tried voicing out my mind, but a jamboree of ruminations came running wild, tangling themselves in such unwanted mess; that in the end, nothing of substance came tumbling out. And here i am, back to square one. The thoughts that i can't decipher. Will i ever excogitate them?
I can be caught dead starring into mid-air daily; with nothing but a menacing void that devours me from the inside. My eyes do not tell a story nor are they the windows into my soul. What is this feeling am i going through? I know i've got a burden on me; which weighs heavier everytime i put my mind on them. What are these burdens? Responsibility? Pride? It could be everything but all messed up in my life. I wonder what it takes to tame these wild cerebrations; sift them through and figure what the crap is going on with me.
I guess; time will soon reveal.
This undefined agony is sure is a bitch. Kill me please and let's end all these misery. Rah.
