I Quote... and Unquote.

From Christine's blog.

Shakespeare said, 'The course of true love never did run smooth'. so doesn this mean that if everything is going peachy keen, it's not true love but a lie to tell yourself it's perfect? i don't know what love is anymore. i believe in it. i don't know what it is but i do know what it's not.
love is not forcing people to do things they don't want to do.
love is not keeping quiet about your problems and chucking them aside.
love is not buying my happiness with money.
love is not about letting the other half be happy when you're not.
love is not about how one person is always right and one person is always wrong.

disgusted.

With myself. Seriously. Why am i so.....

What to do. Shit Happens.

Went drawing with the gang again. I really need to finish this comic and get it done and over with so i can stop worrying about everything. I shall slack tonight though.

Dont want to disturb the rest. Probably all busy with work.

Where are you going?

Another boring day. Went out in the morning to help out with ROA in church. Pretty alright. Then went to eat with a couple of people in church. Then went out :) Long story, wont talk about it.

Came back, stoned abit online, watched Naruto. Then later for some reason relatives start streaming into my house and then they talked alot. Then we went out for dinner at AMK central.... they started talking about ghosts and weird stuff happening to them. Weird.

My mum got me some pills. Supposed to make me gain weight. Er, right mom. Lets see if this works. This shit is freaking nasty.. its powdery and crap.

Im supposed to be doing my Audio Essentials Journal and Stote research right now.... better get started.

sneeze.

they say when someone is gossiping about you, talking or thinking bad or good things about you, or deep in thought of you, you sneeze alot.

well, i was sneezing the whole day today.

yes, i am lame.

Three Simple Words

Open up my eyes, flooded with daylight
Another sleepless night turns color black and white
With all the things I've said
There is just regret, repeating in my head

Hands into a fist, static in my head
Now I'm sitting face to face with loneliness
What did I expect, did I see forever in you?

I never want it to hurt more than it should
I hope you're satisfied, I never could

Time to close my eyes, forget about this mess
And try to fix this tragic loss of innocence
But how can I forget, the things I have inside
When everything is dead?

I never want it to hurt more than it should
I hope you're satisfied, I never could
Can't you see, you left me on my own
Give me one good reason why I should let go

With my hands around your neck
Who will stop me now?
Who will stop me now?
Who will stop me now?
Who will stop me now?

Who will stop me now??

I never want it to hurt more than it should
I hope you're satisfied, I never could
Can't you see, you left me on my own
Give me one good reason why I should let go now...

sight

officially started wearing contacts. feels alright, i put them in much easier than before, maybe because i read the manual in the book that tells you the "right" method of putting them in. now they feel great, only the occasional twitches and im slowly getting used to them. one day they'll feel like nothing hopefully. sometimes when i look towards the sides my eyelids are still not used to the contacts, so it feels abit weird. well, i guess i must be patient.

the world feels so much bigger now with the contacts on. the computer monitor seems larger than before.

ok its just me.

now to get used to my face without specs. lolx.

ordinary

Whose eyes am I behind?
I don't recognize anything that I see
Whose skin is this design?
I don't want this to be the way that you see me

I don't understand anything anymore
And this web that I'm tired of
Is taking me right up these walls
That I climb up to get to your story
It's anything but ordinary?

And when the world is on its knees with me
It's fine
And when I come to the rescue
I get nothing but left behind
Everybody seems to be getting what they need
Where's mine?
Cause you're what I need so badly

But I'm anything but ordinary

Can you save me from this world of mine?
Before I get myself arrested with this expectation
You are the one, look what you've done
What have you done?
This is not some kind of joke, you're just a kid
You weren't ready for what you did, no . . .

And when the world is on its knees with me
It's fine
And when I come to the rescue
I do it for you time after time
Everybody seems to be getting what they need
Where's mine?

'Cause you're what I need so badly
But I'm anything but ordinary

I think I'm trying to save the world for you
You've been saving me too
We could just stay in and save each other

I'm anything but ordinary
I'm anything but ordinary (Ordinary)

i got a good mind.

-deleted stuff from this post after realising it was stupid.-

Watching, waiting, commiserating.

geist

woke up late today. like, at 8:10, and my class starts at 9. and i stay at AMK. my school is at.... Tampines.

so i got up, changed, and took a cab. reached there at like 9:05 i think.

finished dr fun, then went up to studios to.....stone. talked to a few people, went around, wanted to film ba vid with my group but things went wrong the last minute, so we decided to do it on monday... sigh.

so i hanged around in school. started talking to stanley and a few people... including chris. good people. talked with them for a DAMN long time and in the end volunteered to be in gillian's bavid project as an extra with no roles or lines. nice.

then took a trip back home with a ride from chris... very nice. he brought me directly to a close bus stop.. so it was like 2-3 bus stops home. we were talking abt alot of crap on the way home...

still confused. but a little clearer now. 2 months break coming.... pretty important to me.

xonfused

im extremely confused with myself, with everyone, and with the world.

Life is so boring it sucks.

http://tricab.sirhc.net/Jimmy_Eat_World_-_23.mp3
i like this song.

i dont know about you.. haha. its funny how people jump to conclusions :).
---
I felt for sure last night
At once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
Im still driving away
And Im sorry every day
I wont always love these selfish things
I wont always live...
Stop it...

It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you

Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Amazing still it seems
Ill be 23
I wont always love what Ill never have
I wont always live in my regrets

Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
The one thing that stays mine...

Just For

Back after a wet wet day. Rained the whole day today. Pretty nice actually :). Sorta cheesy.

Anyways went to school early to prepare for story telling project, i went there early and of course, no one was there. Ate breakfast in school, ham sausage and liquid egg. Very Gross. And then we went up to the studio to do some last minute prep and write our individual story proposals. We had the presentation on powerpoint.

Then when class started, We were the FIRST group. We presented, read out the whole script, and in the end felix liked it! Wow. He must like our story alot i guess. The rest of the groups were ok, but a little bland. In the end he said if an executive were to choose a story based on what we just presented, he would only choose one, and it was ours! So corny, but it was nice. At least the work we did paid off, all the hot ninja suits, cheesy poses and all.

Then after class went up to studios to chill. Talked abit to Enrique, he was wearing some lame hat... bad move man. Waited for Sharon, but she wasn't there that early so i went to eat with Eugene. I figured Sharon was coming already, so i went up to the studio to wait for her. After she came we went and saw Eugene on the way and he had to draw money and all that, so we followed him. Sharon stole my sweater on her way to class, so i had to freeze in the studio after she left. Waited for her to come out, stoned abit, wanted to draw but didnt start.

After she came out we went to eat outside of school. Went with er...Eunice, Chris, Xiao Hui, Jacky and Si Yuan if im not wrong. I forgot. Had a nice lunch. Rain was nice actually.

Went back to school and left soon after that. Brought Sharon to work, and we had to walk in the rain. Funny thing was we were in jackets and broadshorts :)

She walked me to the bus stop home. Had a long bus and train ride home after that.

Sleepover tomorrow... probably wont blog. But i'll still be going to school to see the person that i want to tickle right now =\.

Sub

http://www.justinlow.com/~tds/Justin%20Low/html-0919/#handbook

go check it out, its a test page for the new design school website. graphics by me. =).

Went out today all the way to bedok. At first i was a little tired and super lazy to do any work. But then as time passed i warmed up abit and started doing work. They asked me to wear this stupid Ninja suit to pose and all, but it was fun. But tiring.

In the end had to come back all the way from bedok, sian. But it was quite cool, get to talk alot with peeps i havent really talked to. i notice whenever we got nothing to talk about we talk about the lame people in school. people like warren and enrique and their gossip. haha. no comments.

Nice...

if you guys were wondering what the previous post was about, it was a cool song i heard yesterday night. The Used - I Caught Fire (In Your Eyes). Its not released yet, but if you want it go on msn and ask me.

I went out just now, first thing i noticed was my father wasnt around. I think he went to Malaysia to go fishing or something. Not very interesting, but at least hes doing what he likes to do.

I just had another mooncake just now. This time its Durian Flavoured. Yuck. I swear i've eaten more than 10 mooncakes over the past week. Not good.

I caught fire...

In your eyes
i lost my place
could stay awhile
and im melting
in your eyes
like my first time
that i caught fire,
so stay with me lay with me now....

never cut my breath,
every second im without you im a mess.

RAPHAEL SUCKS

Today was pretty fun. Seldom had such fun in awhile. Maybe cause i've been slacking in the sociality department. Better go out more and make more friends.

Went out with Sharon and Eugene today. Ate at Mos, then went to arcade to play percussion freaks. I think i should stop going to the arcade more often now. Sian. I'd rather go out and eat. =D.

Then they came over and played all sorts of games and stuff. Then we played Soul Caliber, and stupid Eugene went and used raphael all the way and trashed my our asses. Maybe i should play more.

Oh yeah, and we ate pizza. Huzzah!

Great time. Tomorrow have to go church maybe with parents and then after that have to make my way all the way down to bedok to do photo shoot for storytelling. how fun.

Distinctively Bold

Check it out guys. Most probably my next phone.

http://www.nokia.com.sg/nokia/0,,63231,00.html


however im also interested in this phone.. looks pretty cool and is totally voice activated.

http://www.nokia.com.sg/nokia/0,,63263,00.html


time to start saving up people.

Poop

I just ate roti prata without egg. All 5 of em. Feel like crap now.

Now, lets see. Im going out at 2 later for god knows what. I am broke, and im busy lately playing the sims 2. My toddler in the game is growing up fine. I wonder what he'll become.

Oh yeah. My uncle gave me the punisher album, and it sounds really nice. Go get the new Green Day Album. Its great. There are like a Gazillion games coming out in october and november. Great.

I havent turned on my cam for awhile. maybe later :D

About the AssPeeH and Mediacrap Merger, its another one big mistake from the beginning. The fact is, no one company should even try to branch out and make TWO SIMILAR channels to the most watched Free to Air TV channels in singapore. I mean, there's such a small market here and you want to compete with the decent channels already, Its a stupid move. What are you going to get, more viewers? No, you're going to get less and less viewers and less market for Advertisers!

I wont be suprised if channel U turns into some chinese or taiwan variety show channel targeted to the young. You just wait and see, and then channel 8 will become some auntie channel. Channel I will rot in hell.

I mean, if you want to start a new free to air channel in singapore, do it with intelligence. Start a channel with a niche crowd, like Animax the anime channel or smth. I mean, you wont affect the rest of the free to air channels but in turn create a whole new market for yourself, right?

What am i talking about. I don't even watch those channels anymore, Cable TV Rocks.

Get Firefox!

When was the last time you heard about the browser wars? Well, they're back. The reason: For the first time in more than seven years, Microsoft (MSFT ) is losing Web browser market share.

By the way, if you didn't know, a security loophole was found in the new service pack 2 that allows people to reedit a certain code in existing spyware in IE to work again! That's where firefox shines.

Popularity for Firefox has hit the skyroof with the new release of Mozilla Firefox V1.0 Preview Release, the alternative browser to Microsoft's IE, promising better security, tabbed browsing, extensions, and more!

Are you tired of swatting popups, chasing spyware, combatting identity theft and installing security updates you could set your watch to? You have a vision of the 21st century web and are ready to push it to the world, wresting control from a monopoly that has let it stagnate.

Over at c|net, Firefox enjoys the highest site rating possible and a staggering 92% approval rating. In the past three months alone, Internet Explorer lost another 2% of the browser marketshare—its largest drop in more than eight years.

With numbers like these, it's getting harder to ignore Firefox—and indeed, the browser is making its way into some very elite circles. Walt Mossberg, the Wall Street Journal columnist that Newsweek called "the most powerful arbiter of consumer tastes in the computer world," told over one million WSJ readers today to dump Internet Explorer and get Firefox. Robert Scoble, renowned Microsoft evangelist, now sports a shiny new Firefox button on his weblog. And Firefox enjoyed 24-hour coverage on the very front page of Google News.

They are also intending to take out full page ads in papers and TV commercials. Looks like fire is gonna be the weapon of choice in this second coming of the browser wars. Stay tuned, everyone—there's lots to come.

[about the extensions, theres this cool extension i just found, its called bugmenot (bugmenot.com) and what it does is that it finds logins for sites like www.nytimes.com, www.fileplanet.com that require logins to access their downloads and finds anonymous and user donated id's and passwords to log into the site, without the hassle of registering, confirming, and all the fluff.)

As seen on kevinrose.com.

If you haven't already heard, FireFox (my favorite browser) has now hit 1.0 Preview Release status. This is a huge deal for the FF development community. A few of the new features:

- Live Bookmarks
- Improved FastFind
- Improved Security
- Master Password
- Software Update
- Smaller Download

To gear up for their big 1.0 release, the team is holding a promotion to hit the 1 Million downloads in 10 days. I highly recommend this browser over IE – help'em out by downloading it now!

Links you need:
- Download FireFox
- Help promote FireFox – www.spreadfirefox.com

Service Pack 2 Works. Period.

STOP asking me why XP service pack 2 screws up your computer.

It doesnt. If you didnt already know, firewall is enabled instantly, so your computer wont be full of loopholes. I don't know why people are having problems, but they seem to be firewall related so it should be something to do with that.

Other than that service pack 2 is great. IE pop up blocker, add on manager (allows you to automatically disable that irritating windows messenger, and auto updates!) IE still doesnt have tabbed browsing for some weird reason so i'll have to still go with Firefox on this one.

Besides, if you want to keep up to date and patch windows to the latest version so you dont get attacked by viruses (like the old blaster virus and what not, i know i got hit) then you'll have to patch anyway.

Go give it a try. Don't worry it wont break your computer. It didnt break mine.

woosh kaboosh.

Yup im still keeping to my promise of bloggin at least once a day.

Im busy with drawing homework at the moment though. My lecturer wants to see our whole sketchbook tomorrow, and hes not going to accept halfway done work and all my pieces are not done except for the scribbled cowboy.

These are all the things i must sketch. http://www.tomcin.com/ron

Oh well. Blog later. Otherwise its Naruto time! I bought an FMA keychain and Naruto Keychain. Going to hang on my HP most probably, i'll find someplace.

yummyyummy

I got food in my tummy.

Yeah, so my sister bought 4 moon cakes double yolked from ritz carlton. Im not even going to imagine how much it costs. She went to make those invisible braces, those where you can only see one line across one. I want! Maybe during the holidays. Its $4000 baby. Shes going to get it during october. I'll follow her during then and talk to an orthdontist too. its going to be fucking painful but who cares really.

Heard another guy jumped down and died on the MRT tracks. This time its an elderly guy. Something fishy is going on down there. Usually i'd say its all bullcrap, but 5 times in 2 months? You got to be kidding me.

Going to sleep now. you can watch me sleep through my webcam, but its seriously abit dark. =)

Yeah. Thats right, you stalkers.

Hello my loyal minions friends! Its that time again!

Got my webcam back up and running once again, and found a great webcam software. Now i got an auto refreshing webcam! Watch as i sleep on my bed, eat my food while typing this, and bully my poor desktop computer! All for free! Webcam is above the doodleboard. Comments please.

Spent the whole day at home today playing sims 2 and watching Naruto. Thats right i skipped school. Came online to blog this after i attached back my webcam. Hope it doesnt lag my computer. Naruto rocks. Gonna continue watching it.

Went to download some stuff today when i found Charmed Season 7 Episode one. Downloaded and watched it. Since i've already finished watching season 6 (the one on mediacrap channel 5 now) i wasnt that spoiled. First ep was great as usual.

I need to increase my bandwith.

Please use the comments tool to comment guys. Its easier to manage that way. Doodleboard for posting random nonsense. Going to go link a few people now.

Yawn

Hah. I didn't go to school today. Didnt want to hand in Visual Literacy homework. Actually cause i was lazy to do it :). I still have to go school later though, got basic video.

Just woke up. Bleh. My camera sucks up batteries like nothing. I put two batteries in last night and this morning its gone already. Damn i need to get those lithium batteries but they cost so ex. Like, $10+ for 2 batteries? Thats insane.

Oh look all my files completed downloading yesterday. All 5 episodes of naruto + my Green day album. Cool. Time to find more things to download. Sims 2 is damn fun. My female sim just got pregnant :)

I'll post when i come back later. Time to wander around the net.

Tactical Life Simulator

I just got the sims 2 today =). It was pretty fun. I still have alot to explore in the game. It has much more depth than the first game.

Dont feel like going to school tomorrow. Lazy + Never do work :). maybe i go a little later.

Complete

Story Telling assignment 1 complete! Well i finished it last night. Then i got a terrible stomachache and went to sleep.

Today, going to go to school, hand up assignment, then go to bugis and get the Sims 2, if nothing goes wrong. i now have 40 unwatched episodes of naruto on my computer (downloaded to 90).

I wanted to post my story here, maybe i'll do it later.

Can someone please tell me why the heck im not tired?

Monday, September 13, 2004

Renewal

From the depths of the night,
Come forth the dream.
Recall the unseen,
To seize the light.
Come away to afar,
And take the river of love.

Lesser Things

Use mozilla firefox to view this site. Looks better than IE :).

My Dad won like 5/6 matches soccer matches played tonight. Lucky crap. He won like a ton of money. No wonder im getting my pocket money for next week early. Which is a good thing. I need it to get Sims 2 and a couple of new drawing pens i need to get for drawing fun.

Which reminds me of work. Which reminds me of Story Telling project. (_-_)

Doesnt help that i have to go to so many places tomorrow.

The one thing that i know

Ok heres the new layout. I originally wanted to use a sexy babe instead of this abstract thingy at the left hand side here but i decided to change it because the layout felt too feminine.

Im having trouble with the tables and measurements. but they will do for now..

[edit]
fixed the margin problem in IE. Also cured and shifted some tables and lines and now everything is nice and neat.

added a tagboard, and a red colour to the blog. hmm.

You swore you saw yourself

Hey btw, if you want more people to comment and read my blog, please feel free to re-link me. Or at least ask more people to read regularly. ^^

Ok, I'm going to start work on the new layout. If things go well, tonight you'll see something new.


[techie rants]
Azureus is sucking up my bandwith. Thats the bittorent client i use. Gack, Downloading 99 episodes of naruto isnt helping :)

Check out this cool service, Audioscrobbler. It takes the songs you play most on your MP3 player (be it iTunes, Winamp, Musicmatch, or Windows Media Player) and it installs a plugin into it, that sends data from your MP3 player and records the names of the songs (of course, you need clean ID3 Tags, you can find an ID3 Tag renamer... scroll a little bit down to my previous post.)

What it does is that after it collects the names of the songs you played, it stores it in its server and then you have a top played charts and things that you might be interested in listening (it collects data from other people and what they hear, so if they like Hoobastank for instance, the server reads it and tells you you might like Dashboard Confessional too. Or something like that.)

So far i've only played 73 songs after i got the plugin, i should hit 100 today.

http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/tricab/

Vindicated

Ok so maybe this new layout thing might get delayed abit, i dont know.

I probably will be staying at home all day tomorrow, so i hope to get some things done. Otherwise, i'll be quite packed on sunday, so i wont be at home.

Gonna go download some new videos this week. America premiered The Apprentice 2 and Joey (the friends spinoff sitcom) this week. Downloading them right now.

Oh yeah, and Vindicated is stuck in my head.

Thursday, September 09, 2004

I won't be home for Christmas!

Yeah, this design is temporary. Like. One day temporary. Or maybe the weekend. Im coming up with my own design over the weekend.

MP3's are for wimps.

Alright. Finally spent some time to get this thing running.

I know i know, its a default layout. Not like i have the time to code or anything. Maybe soon, but the basic structure is there.

Oh, too much tech. I went out to AMK today to eat. The food everywhere is egg-less. Which sucks. I had egg-less breakfast (eggless prata! the horror!), egg-less lunch (nasi lemak without egg? WTF?), and an egg-less dinner (fried rice witout eggs. T.T).

Walked around abit, and because i was broke, went home after playing a couple games of percussion freaks 9th mix. Pretty sweet, today lots of people were staring at me playing. Holidays what.

School tomorrow, I havent touched drawing fundamentals homework. Great. I'll have to lay low tomorrow. Basic Video Meeting, and once again, i dont have anything to show. Haha.

Oh btw, im online more often now. No, for real.

Yeah. This will be the part of the blog where i rant about techie stuff. If you're not a huge tech fan, a geek or gamer, turn away :).

I intend to add more stuff tonight. Probably a whats playing now section, a taggie (unless i stick to my comments system). and some other stuff. I've spotted something interesting surfing around... Text America
Yeah, Basically its like some mobile blogging service. You take HP pictures and auto blog them! How nice. I'll go surf around somemore and see what else i fancy.

Ok, whats new. I spent the whole day today trying to re-organize my MP3 collection... and man was it tough. Its not easy when you have to recheck and rename the ID3 Tags and filenames of 1400+ files. I was looking around for an auto tagger and file renamer but couldnt find anything easy to use and actually worked. Then i found one.MusicBrainz Tagger. Man this thing works. Best of all its free. It reads MP3's and searches for the correct files in their system which contains even the rarest of songs, and correctly renames the ID3 tags AND the filenames at the same time, at your liking. A little tweaking had to be done though. Now i got a spiffy playlist.

Chris if you're reading this, help me install wordpress. Its in a directory on the server. If not, drop me an email :)
