                <description><![CDATA[ -<br />-<br />Hey everyone!<br />Hope it's been going swell for you guys and gals, <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />My life has been going alright... until the minute I lost my temper and shouted at a dear friend of mine. I can be quite grumpy, especially with loved ones who I doesn't mind my spectrum of emotions. <br /><br />But being grumpy/irritated/annoyed is just a mild version of anger. Wrath. Fury. Whatever it is you wanna call it, I have lots of it and quit proudly I'd admit that I've have kept it inside me from family and friends and I have not let my anger consume my immediate actions for a long time. At most I would write an angry sms or an email expressing my hurt towards someone. <br /><br />But yesterday... after so many years of being in control of my anger, I had let it get to me and to the point where I was insensitive, rude, sarcastic and the final point was where my dear friend of 4 years said my behavior was scaring her. She decided I wasn't in the right state to listen to anything she had to say so she walked away. <br /><br />That's when I did something that didn't even process consciously in my brain but just came out as an action. I shouted after her... on a quiet night, in her neighborhood where her family and relatives stayed. I shouted, 'Thank you (her name)!!'. <br /><br />If you're still reading to this point, you probably are thinking what's the big deal? You have to understand I'm not someone who shouts at my friends and even my closest family members have not seen my temper in half a decade. So when I did, it caught me off-guard and honestly, dear reader... I'm scared of what I'm becoming...<br /><br />I ask myself questions like 'Is this the real me?', 'Have I hid it so well from the people around me that I now believe it's the lie?'<br /><br />I am not a bad person. I'm as selfish as the next person and I know I will not hurt my friends willingly.<br /><br />I blame myself entirely for over-reacting that night and losing my temper. But she too had a part to play in this scenario. To cut it short: the attitude she had on that day was slowly but steadily testing my patience. But it's not her fault. I hold myself responsible for my own actions.<br /><br />But everyone has a chance to learn from their mistakes, don't they? But what if I don't? What if my poor memory has lead me to treat my friend without respect over and over again? I am my actions and my actions yesterday night has made me ashamed of myself and even though my friend isn't talking to me right now, I feel like I don't deserve her friendship and love ever again.<br /><br />If anger can be considered as the passion one has for life; a formidable energy source to keep the spirit going ahead in life, then maybe... my anger can be justified. Maybe. How the justification is explained is a whole 'nother story.<br /><br />-<br />-<br />-<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ -<br />-<br />Hello everyone!<br /><br />   I'm the guy who loves pink more than any other color in the spectrum of awesome colors. Well, magenta pink to be exact. If you simply browse through my gallery you can see what I mean by magenta pink. It's a pink that has blue added to it making the end result a little purplish. But not so far down the spectrum that it becomes bluish purple pink. Magenta pink is still a warm color but it's more than that to me. It's a color that is cute and sexy with a <b>badass</b> attitude! Partially I can blame singers like Pink and shows like L.A. Ink for glamourising the color pink. <br />   <br />But this pink has been in pin-up art and photography for decades. Pink is a girly color and anyone who says otherwise is just kidding themselves. But regardless of the gender contradiction, I, yes me, a <i>man</i>, a <i><b>straight</b> man</i>, <b>loves</b> pink and it's not gonna change anytime in this decade.<br /><br />Why?   <br /><br />   It's eye-catching, full of street attitude and when it's on women (On their hair, body, face or just their clothes) is downright f---ing sexy! I get a hard-on when I see women who wear pink in their outfit. Okay, maybe not a hard-on but definitely they get my attention.<br /><br />   But surely pink is a strongly feminine color, no? <br /><br />Well, yes. The pastel range of pink can get really feminine but that's not the saturation level I'm talk about. The ones that really get my blood circulating is the really shocking pink (or <i>Magenta Pink</i>). Saturated purple gives a royal feel but saturated pink (or <i><b>Magenta Pink</b></i>) is just badass.<br /><br /><br />   I think I've enough magenta-pink related artworks to create a small gallery showcase with that theme alone! And someday I might! Hell, I <i>want</i> to!<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ -<br />-<br />-<br /><br />Hello my friends!<br /><br />It's been awhile since I updated anything on this site.<br />I'd love to say it's because I've been busy.<br /><br />I <i>have</i> been busy but not enough that I can't update my page.<br /><br />The real reason is that I had given up on me creating art.<br />It's many reasons coming together but the conclusion was that I had been very uninspired in many areas of my life, including art.<br /><br />Why did want to be so bloody emo about it? I just wanted attention.<br />I've grown tired of acting negative.<br />Being positive is so much more rewarding anyway, <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />With a week before I ORD from my National Service which I've been serving for 2 years, I've gone back to my half-finished art pieces and been trying to inspire myself. It's hard to love yourself enough to love the things around you.<br /><br />I would love to say 'expect more works uploaded!' but honestly, I think you've grown tired of me. Life closes a few doors but opens new ones and I hope my new doorways are something worth looking forward to, <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><br />Lots of love ~ Hanif<br /><br />-<br />-<br />-<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Have you ever woken up one morning and felt happy that people around you need you? Especially one who <i>you</i> need in your life?<br /><br />Only to realize they don't really need you that day?<br />After you've tried miserably to be useful to them?<br /><br />I had those kinda days the past week and I feel useless. I feel as though I'm useless to a friend at the point where they need someone the most. And my insecurities on that matter is further exemplified by someone else proving themselves far more useful than I was and will ever be. <br /><br />Jealously is not a happy monster. It feeds on pain and hurt, shitting out anger that's both blinding and stupid. I've lived 24 years of my life coming to 2009 and I've done rather well shooing away the beast that spawns from jealously empowered by the insecurities in me. <br /><br />But sometimes you just can't help but feel lost, alone and just damn fucked-up with your life.<br /><br />Why am I writing here? To people who don't <br />give a flipping <b>fuck</b> about my issues? Who have their owns problems to simply ignore my rant? lol, because I've lost it.<br /><i>[I just want attention]</i><br />I'm honest. And quite possibly immature.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Soooo, how's your life?<br />I care, enough to reply to your comment, <i>(at least!)</i> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ -------------~<br /><br />Hello boys and girls! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Yes... you guessed right, it's just me getting tagged and doing something about it, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" /><br /><br />Let's get started! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br /><br />I got tagged by the lovely and talented <a href="http://mrs-malfoy.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/r/mrs-malfoy.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmrs-malfoy:" title="mrs-malfoy"/></a><br /><br />1. Post these rules.<br />2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.<br />3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.<br />4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.<br />5. No tag-backs<br /><br />1.I'm a libra (weight scale), and usually am confused between two options in a situation. But I trust my gut to decide since thinking hard makes my head hurt...<br /><br />2.I love fresh and new sketchbooks. It's almost a fetish, really! I love those brand new, hardcover ones that feel all clean and white inside, lol<br /><br />3. I hate dust, it evokes two of my most problematic illnesses. So you can imagine how much I hate to clean my room.<br /><br />4. I'm horny. You won't believe how much effort it takes to keep my mind away from looking at a passing girl's ass. Usually fail too, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" /><br /><br />5. I'm falling asleep as I write this... Been awake all night and it's now 7am. You know what's cool? I'll be heading to bed as 3 million Singaporeans get up for work or school, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /><br /><br />6. I hate people who interrupt when I'm talking. I'm serious. I wish some people would just shut up and let me say my piece and then say theirs.<br /><br />7. Give or take, I'm pretty generous to people but ironic to that pleasant trait, I have the ability to coldly cut a person from my life completely and not regret if I knew for sure he/she betrayed my respect or trust in our friendship.<br /><br />8. I'm getting old. 24 next year. Fark.<br /><br /><br />Oksays, So tagging 8 people.<br />Don't think they'll really care that I did but hey, whatever, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" /><br /><br /><a href="http://sleepinlion.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsleepinlion:" title="sleepinlion"/></a><a href="http://godiva-angel.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/godiva-angel.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongodiva-angel:" title="godiva-angel"/></a><br /><a href="http://zummi.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/z/u/zummi.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconzummi:" title="zummi"/></a><a href="http://maxjia.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/a/maxjia.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmaxjia:" title="maxjia"/></a><br /><a href="http://jayliberator.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/j/a/jayliberator.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconjayliberator:" title="jayliberator"/></a><a href="http://deathcab4kimmie.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/e/deathcab4kimmie.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondeathcab4kimmie:" title="deathcab4kimmie"/></a><br /><a href="http://kewpuss.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/e/kewpuss.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkewpuss:" title="kewpuss"/></a><a href="http://fleearel.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/l/fleearel.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfleearel:" title="fleearel"/></a><br /><br />Have fun, ya apes!

                <description><![CDATA[ -------><br /><br /><br />Yes! <br /><br />And about time! <br /><br />I don't have anything against white or black or brown, yellow, green or purple... but I have found racism a hard topic to swallow. Us, as human beings, are naturally threatened by things that we are not used to. That includes skin color too apparently. But we portray ourselves as intelligence and civilized, don't we? So we can choose to be open-minded and not perform a virtual genocide, can't we?<br /><br />Yes we can. And this general election proved we can. It was time for change and I personally stand still on my gut feeling that this Obama fellow will lead one of the world's greatest super power to a place of stability and compassion. Politics are generally portrayed as being ugly and cruel. I applaud those men who stand in that stand for their beliefs and ideas to better their respective nations and in turn, better this world.<br /><br />I for one, can't wait to see what Barack Obama has in-store for us. My best wishes are with him, his new administration and his family. <br /><br />God bless the people who do their best everyday to better this world and the people who live in it. <br />Because... if we don't make the place we live in better, who will?<br /><br /><br />Take care darlings!~<br /><br /><br /><br />--------><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ~~~~~-><br /><br /><br />Hi guys! And gals! And the ones still confused! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br /><br />It's been a bloody long time since I updated anything around here. Comments are plentiful, at least those that I gave anyway but still, nothing new from me in a while.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm not sure what's the update on the bill that was to be implemented in America on the creative rights of our works on the internet and other places that we share them. God help us if it does get implemented! The current economical crisis is far more important and it should keep the guys there occupied for now.<br /><br />I'm not pretending to fully understand the economical crisis this world is facing since I don't invest or spend my time in the stock market buying shares and what-not. But it is safe to say that if there's no solution soon to fix the problems, we will simply go down a wonderful path to find ourselves. Sigh.. and the poor get poorer...<br /><br /><br />Anyway, this journal was meant to question the ever-on-going debate when we start on a piece of art/design. Form versus the function versus the available room for expression.<br /><br />Like most of us here, when we start doing something on a blank bit of space, it might or might not end up as a work of artistic brilliance. But that's art, and art, in my opinion is all <i>about</i> expression. How about design then?<br /><br />My definition of design and art is simply:<br /><br />Art = for the artist's personal expression alone<br />Design = for the client's expression of his/her ideas and needs.<br /><br /><br />Design follows function. There's no doubt there.<br />Art on the other hand, has no immediate or clear function. Other than of course beautifying a space of any kind or perhaps expressing a deep emotion or idea that isn't possible to express any other way. Like love. Or horrible horrible sadness.<br /><br /><br />When I take on a freelance design brief, I have to meet the needs of the client who gave that brief to me. Whether it's a logo, brochure or a piece of clothing, I need to get inside the dude/dudette's head and help him/her get his/her ideas out on to something physical; like paper.<br />But here's the stumper. <br /><br />Where then shall the artist in me have the space to express his own feelings or thoughts? <br /><br />There's rarely such luxury in design, ladies and gentlemen. And sometimes, that's the best, or at least the most rewarding part of this job to me anyway. It's knowing when to stop being selfish and to help your client realize his/her dreams on paper or screen. It's to know how to subtly hint your style in every inch of the logo or brochure or that kick-ass piece of fashion design.<br /><br /><br />So artists of this world, be subtle and don't lose that artist inside you, regardless of how demanding or unreasonable your client(s) might be!<br /><br /><br />Take care~<br /><br /><br /><br />~~~~~-><br /><br /> ]]></description>

Or me?! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shocked.gif" width="20" height="19" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked" /><br /><br />I'm doing good here, for now, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anyway, have you guys caught The Dark Knight?<br />Or hellboy II : Golden Army?<br /><br />No? NO? NO!?<br /><br /><br />You just have to people, just have to.<br /><br />Those two are great movies in my book.<br />Especially The Dark Knight and it's not only because of the disturbing performance of Joker by Ledger. The movie as pure entertainment, was just awesome, and it was a memorable one too. Worked well for pacing, dialog, gadgets, vehicles, twists, etc etc<br /><br /><i>Everything that makes a great movie, well, great</i><br /><br />Hellboy 2 was also very entertaining. The wit in the characters was cool and the interaction was touching and powerful. Crazy fun in areas of character designs. <br />Just a great fun ride through the eyes of Del Toro, the director, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><br />Hope to catch more great movies this year...<br />Can't wait! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG!

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey guys...<br /><br />You might have read journals or links to information about the new legislation that is going to approved in America. This bill is quite literally, fucking with our freedom as creative individuals.<br /><br />What this new bill is meant to do is create opportunities for the public to <b>legally</b> use our creative works for their own use in whatever and whichever way the want to use. Because it legally allows 'orphaned' works to be re-distributed in any way they see fit.<br /><br />What they mean by orphaned works is basically creative works, which means anything from sketches to final works, that have not been registered by you.. and under this new legislation, your creative works are now legally able to be abused and re-distributed.<br /><br />The current law states that as soon as something you create is born unto reality, it's protected and the copyrights belong to you, the author.<br /><br />There's an extensive amount of information about this on the net. Most are simply there repeating the same thing but here are a few links I've found.<br /><br /><b>On dA:</b><br /><br /><a href="http://news.deviantart.com/article/46388/">[link]</a><br />(dA's own new article)<br /><br /><a href="http://graysapphire.deviantart.com/journal/17803626/#journal">[link]</a><br />(It has external links, check it out for more info)<br /><br /><b>External Links:</b><br /><br /><a href="http://www.sellyourtvconceptnow.com/orphan.html">[link]</a><br />(An audio file of an interview, for those who rather listen than read)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.petitiononline.com/dAvsOW/petition.html">[link]</a><br />(A petition to stop this nonsensical legislation!!)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.illustratorspartnership.org/01_topics/article.php?searchterm=00185">[link]</a><br />(An extensive resource page for links to articles about this f-ed up issue)<br /><br /><br /><br /><i><b>This is really upsetting for people like me who depend our creative works to feed us financially and must not be allowed!

<br />
Hey guys!<br />
<br />
You must've noticed the changes done to our galleries by now, no?<br />
<br />
It's pretty cool, what these guys have done. It allows us to make our galleries just that bit more customized. Cheers to that, i say! :cheers:<br />
<br />
Spent about an hour organizing my gallery, hope it was worth the time, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Anyway, my holidays are going to end today, back to the cubicle and all that uniformed nonsense! But i did promise artworks, and i plan to keep that promise, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Oh and, have you guys seen The Bee Movie? I found it surprisingly funny!<br />
The work that has gone into the concept of a living, relate-able hive environment is just amazing. Personally, found it to be very inspiring. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
It's been quite a while since I laughed out loud in a cinema, so i strongly recommend you guys to catch it, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Till the next entry, take care beautiful people~<br />

<br />
YOOOOOOOZZZZZzzzzzzZAAAAAPPPP!?<br />
<br />
-cough-<br />
<br />
Anyway, how's yous guys beenz?<br />
<br />
deviantART has gotten so boring lately, I've gotten into the habit of just surfing the front page and then entering another URL. I don't mean the artworks have gotten boring, those still kick ass, even those, especially those from you peeps, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> But the routine that i wanted to break off from.<br />
<br />
And after returning to 500+ deviations in my devWATCH inbox, it's just cwazy. I mean, sheesh, it became sort of a chore to look through all of them. I've cleared 200 of them. There were alot of quality works in that mess of deviants. Lemme look through the rest sometime soon, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
My back hurts and I've gotten a small ear infection. But that's the negative.<br />
The positives are wayyy more delicious. Trying my best to go out with my good friends. With most of them busy with their degrees, work and stuff, it's becoming a disturbing trend where the frequency of us friends meeting up is getting lesser and lesser. Sometimes you just don't want to care about anything but i have to. These are good relationships, and it'll suck to just let it die because of the lack of time. MAKE TIME! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey lovely hippie-people. Still feeling gay in this overly-emo world?<br />
<br />
Simple ridiculous how busy this office-hour work makes you. I was just done with 2 illustrations i did for an officer. Took me quite a while. One of which he simple loves and i like it alot. It's done in the style of Frank Miller's SinCity so that's probably why we like it so.<br />
<br />
But that illustration might be used on the cover of the local Civil Defence magazine. So i've gotta wait, till the mag gets published before i can post it here. A few updates on personal works but it's been so long since i've submitted anything here, besides comments. Even that is rare.<br />
<br />
I don't know how many of you guys are still here and/or are watching me still. If you do take me of your list, i don't blame ya, i would do the same i guess, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Anyway, look forward to more happy-art from me. It's become my style and i like it when people tell me my art-pieces make them feel good, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Take care beauties!~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey guys, just dropping in to let you know of a pretty darn decent musician.<br />
<br />
~<a class="u" href="http://zummi.deviantart.com/">zummi</a> had directed me to his page through a link. And his first track really did blow me away. Although the following few tracks i listened to before writing this journal was not as awesome as the first, which is titled Floodlights, i still found him cool.<br />
<br />
Find it in the list of this rather well designed page, <a href="http://www.lunarmusic.net/">[link]</a><br />
<br />
Enjoy it as i did, or else!<br />
<br />
Take care darlings~<br />
<br />
PS: I'm currently busy with my National Service but I'm doing my best to work on my personal art pieces during whatever time i have. Look forward to them updated deviations, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
PSS: Also, i bought The White Stripes new album, Icky Thump, which so far just kicks ass, and i've listened to it like... 25 times through and through, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey guys, how's it going?<br />
Good i hope.<br />
<br />
Over here, things have turned out better than the last time i wrote an entry.<br />
<br />
I got my posting. It's just as great or even better than i would want it to be. It's so close to my house, i can brisk-walk there in 20 minutes, and to think that funny looking unmarked building was actually the headquarters! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" /><br />
My clerical job is a very easy one. Morning is the busiest and you are left with like 5 hours to slack away till knock-off time. Odd, i know.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the reason it has been great is because the senior dude I'm under is awesome. Very easy-going, relaxed, gets the job done and just does his own thing. And the captains and high-ranking officers leave you alone when they've nothing for you do get done.<br />
Another reason is, they recognize my design background and were impressed with my deviantART gallery, (who would've thought! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" />) And so, they've given me design tasks as well. Good thing too, since i would probably forget Photoshop and other design softwares since i rarely touch them during my rest days.<br />
<br />
Been 3 days so far, it's been going well. 1 year, 11 months and 27 days to go, wish me luck! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
And i do sincerely apologize for the lack of postings. I swear, i'll do my best, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
And for the people who watch me and i in return watch them, get posting ya apes! For those who have posted, keep it up, i enjoy watching every entry in my devWATCH box, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
And as a side note, THANK YOU so MUCH! For helping me hit 7000 pageviews. It's been a slow crawl but hey, it's moving, so thanks again, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thanks.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thanks:" title="Thanks for everything!" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thanks.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thanks:" title="Thanks for everything!" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thanks.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thanks:" title="Thanks for everything!" /><br />
<br />
Oh and i almost forgot, i want you guys to grab a copy of this documentry, The Secret. It's amazing. Really. It explains to you how you can get good things in-line with your life. You won't regret it, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Take care guys and gals!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Urgh...<br />
<br />
Yes, i enlisted about 2 weeks ago to serve my compulsory National Service, otherwise known as NS. Even though my training is nothing compared to what fitter guys go through, it still takes up alot of my time. <br />
<br />
Weekdays are literally like this: <br />
5am wake, breakfast and get ready to leave, an hour and a half of travel to reach the training academy by 7.35am. Go with the schedule, clerk course, drill training, whatever is on the schedule. Numb really... Then, head home at 5.30pm, travel, reach home at 7pm. Eat, play with my baby niece and nephew, rest, prepare for tomorrow, sleep by 10pm.<br />
Step and repeat.<br />
<br />
Think you get the idea. Anyway, i'll be getting my posting soon which hopefully means none of these drill nonsense and i pray i'll be more energetic to return home and paint. I've not touched my Painter program in... weeks... sigh, i miss the expressive freedom.<br />
<br />
What've you guys been up to?<br />
I miss your comments, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Hey look, a bird!<br />
Look out, incoming!<br />
Woo, it got you good..<br />
Just get me a tissue, Mr commentator.<br />
<br />
<br />
t(-_-t)<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey guys,<br />
<br />
Just a few things to mention.<br />
<br />
Firstly, if you haven't watched Transformers yet. I should shoot you. Honestly. No no, really. It's one of the most visually exciting movies i've ever seen. It's better than sex! -cough-<br />
<br />
And secondly, i just(finally!) bought my copy of Linkin Park's latest album, Minutes to Midnight, like 4 hours ago.<br />
And i'm listening to it as i write this pathetic attempt at a journal entry.<br />
<br />
LP has truly transformed. And i actually like the change. It's not just idiots jumping around on-stage anymore. It's definitely one of the best albums i've listened to. I love linkin park and they seem to have evolved with my taste and life. Hardcore punk metal when i was a teenager, and now at 22, it's a more mellow, but still very inspiring sound.<br />
<br />
Instead of rapping and basically screaming, the vocalists actually sing more in this album which personally, is a welcomed change.<br />
<br />
On the side, i've been involved in some tedious freelance jobs. Jobs that remind me that i'm an artist and for me to try and be a designer, it takes more than talent.<br />
And i've little of that too.<br />
<br />
Sorry for the lack of updates guys, i really wish i could carry on with my personal work. But things to finish, deadlines to meet, you know the drill.<br />
<br />
Soon, hang in there with me, mates!<br />
<br />
But i do need to ask you something. When you watched me and went, 'hey cool, i'm gonna see what else he can do', what exactly did you want me to do and post? What have you waited to see but i never did deliver?<br />
<br />
I know half of the people who watched me are either not doing that anymore or having stopped dA-ing altogether.<br />
<br />
But that's cool.<br />
Quality over quantity... right?<br />
<br />
<br />
I'll end this journal here. Hope you dears are doing fine, i'm doing well in case you are wondering, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Take care darlings~<br />

Hey hey!<br />
Don't step on the dog poo!<br />
Too late.<br />
<br />
<br />
t(-_-t)<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey guys, how've you been?<br />
<br />
I'm sure you noticed how unproductive i've been for a month or so.<br />
No solid excuse i'm afraid.<br />
I just really didn't want to do anything. Anything productive anyway.<br />
<br />
Ended up just relaxing and enjoying myself and trying my best to remain unstressful.<br />
<br />
Anyway, please do be patient, i swear i'll get posting this month. Truly.<br />
<br />
And just for the heck of it, here's three questions :::<br />
<br />
-Have you seen Pirates of the Carribean 3 : At World's End?<br />
<br />
--Was it a disappointment?<br />
<br />
---Do you even know what i'm talking about?<br />
<br />
<br />
Take care darlings!<br />
Look forward to deviations!<br />

<br />
Hey darlings of darlings!<br />
<br />
I tried something new. I stayed offline and away from dA from 2 days even though i was surfing other sites. And man was that a mistake. I had messages and journals and more importantly, deviations flooding my message boxes. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" /><br />
<br />
But, took my time and cleared the hundred deviations i had and the 20 or so messages. Sometimes when a deviant submits more than 10 pieces (even 8) in one day, it makes it alot more tedious for the audience to look through all 10+ and appreciate each one individually. Because the more time you take, the more deviations your devWATCH box piles up and you end up getting annoyed.<br />
<br />
At least, i do. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
<br />
Been a very life-changing month. Lots of meditation and 'talks' with God trying to make sense of my emotions and whatnot. I'm sort of half-vegetarian because i made a promise to a vege friend of mine months ago, that, when i'm eating out, i'll be a vegetarian. Sorta broke it a few times which disappointed him greatly. So trying again, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
<br />
Any of you guys vegetarian?<br />
<br />
Saw spiderman 3 a few days back. Was effing awesome! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /> Seriously, it was fantastic. I could relate to peter parker's feelings of blinding anger - jealousy - hatred and for some reason, these feelings making you feel powerful because you grow cold and don't have to care for anyone else's feelings. And choices are made alot faster.<br />
<br />
And at the end of it all, you end up hurting those you love and in-turn, yourself. Love spiderman's adventures. They are extremely relatable to the audience because the emotion choices he faces are very very basic and naturally human.<br />
<br />
So, if you haven't caught the spidey yet, do so ASAP, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
What movies are you guys looking forward to? I'm peeing in my pants thinking of Pirates 3...<br />
<br />
And with that question, i'll finish this entry off.<br />
Take care beautiful people!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been a while, no?<br />
<br />
I keep telling myself, 'I think i'll update my journal today' but always end up getting distracted by some deviation on the frontpage which soon leads to a complicating chain of firefox web browser tabs with various different links to galleries and accounts.<br />
You get the idea folks, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
You wouldn't believe it even if i told you but i actually have around 15-16 personal projects in various stages of completion on my desktop. I add more new sketches than i am completing final pieces. That's my problem; endurance.<br />
<br />
I simple give up or grow tired of working on that piece for more than 10 hours and just move on to a new canvas. Sure, the white canvas staring, blank, back at you is a worrying scene for most people. And trust me, i've had my moments of getting frustrated as the lines on the white of my fresh digital canvas isn't up to my standard. Oh Ctrl+Z, buddy, how you've not let me down. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />
<br />
Anyway, how've you guys been doing? Anyone getting married? Joined the war against terror? Dreamt a white stallion with golden wings?<br />
<br />
PS: Head to <a href="http://mrs-malfoy.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/r/mrs-malfoy.png" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="mrs-malfoy" /></a>'s page and check out her fine selection of featured artwork.<br />
<br />
PSS: Is it just me, or has like 60% of the people watching me... died? Tell me please, cause i need to make the specific order of black roses in their memory.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Firstly, lemme wish you jolly chaps and chappettes a merry christmas!<br />
<br />
And lemme throw in my new year wishes and blessings as well, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Yes, 2006 is soon fading into our memories and the lucky 7 is get ready to explode into our lifes.<br />
<br />
Every year, people choose to make new-year resolutions. But few ever stick to them. Knowing myself thus far, and pretty darn well too, i don't make resolutions. <br />
But for the few months passed, i've seen myself under a harsh light. Facing my demons, letting my heart fall and get wounded and it's healing process, getting in-touch with my spiritual side (Not to be confused with my religious side, which is fading into non-existence) and of course getting myself to be more responsible. I've realised that being an 18 year old in a 21 year old's body isn't helping my life. At all.<br />
<br />
Evolution, my darlings, it seems, has caught up with me. And man does it hurt when you aren't prepared for it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
<br />
Enough of this nonsense, it's a jolly end of 2006, embrace it's pain and suffering and transform it into a bittersweet collection of memories and emotions!<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, the title makes little to no relevance to the subject of this journal. Just meant to get your attention, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
Clickety click you went eh, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
<br />
Anyway, as you guys would probably know since i keep bringing it up, i've been in love with a fantastic woman. She has alot of mystery surrounding her but her intelligence and unpredictable character is what drives me to win her heart. Recently, i've been trying my best to give her <b>unconditional</b> love.<br />
<br />
To me it defines the true value of loving someone. Giving without asking anything in return. Nothing at all. And that's proving to be difficult since my own desires and passion drives me insane. But in the name of love and in the attempt to master my mind and emotions, i'll do it. And am trying. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Besides, the more challenging the prey when hunting, the more rewarding is the capture right? Yea.<br />
<br />
Bless her for putting up with my mood swings. Hope she doesn't give up on me as a friend. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br />
<br />
So, guys and gals, what does Unconditional love mean to you?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey guys,<br />
<br />
Things started to pick up emotionally but at the horrible moment when other problems came back to haunt me, ~<a class="u" href="http://zaiye.deviantart.com/">Zaiye</a> sends me a note that my b-day gift was ready.<br />
<br />
She submitted the up-lifting piece in her gallery so please take a look at it, <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/43045919/">[link]</a><br />
Now, she did warn me beforehand to expect a gift in the form of a painting.<br />
So that was sub-conciously in my mind. But i soon forgot all about it with all the inner-battles in my life as of now. <br />
<br />
Her timing was flawless.<br />
<br />
As i said a few lines back, it was uplifting and furthermore, it was sweeter than rare wine. I'm probably exaggerating since i tend to have a talent for that. But hell, i feel really good.<br />
<br />
So Brianne/Zaiye, thank you. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Take care darlings~<br />
<br />
PS: Let me know of your b-day as well please? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey guys,<br />
<br />
Just wanna say thanks to all those who commented and faved my flower girl piece.<br />
I'm moving it to scraps.<br />
<br />
Btw, i did show the piece to her. She was pleasantly shocked that i did a portrait of her. But no matter how much she says she likes it, i still hate it. I didn't do her justice. At all. Even as i type this journal, i wanna destroy something. She means so much to me and i can't even do a fucking portrait of her that captures her beauty. No point calling myself a fucking artist.<br />
<br />
But the reason i moved it to scraps to tell, swear, and remind myself to improve it fucking 20-fold.<br />
<br />
I wanted to blow her away and it ended up being... just a gift. No matter how much she says she likes it. I wanted her to love it.<br />
<br />
Sorry my dears, im being very weak. But i wanted to tell this to someone. Hopefully my frustration doesn't destroy me.<br />
<br />
Even breaking down and crying didn't help. God. When did love become this complicatedly painful.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey guys, thought i would like to share something about myself. Besides, it's been a while since i updated my journal. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
If you noticed, my gallery is filled with pieces that almost never, if rarely, look similar to each other.<br />
Perhaps, colorwise, there are a few very similar. But in terms of content, style, it's pretty varied. And that's a fact that i, till only a few days ago, didn't notice.<br />
<br />
I've always seen myself as an artist before a designer. So most of the works i do are for my own pleasure and my own pleasure alone. But to see people enjoy it as much as me or even more than myself, really motivates me to do better and post quality deviations. But unfortunately, i can't quite read the public's taste accurately, so everything i pose has to firstly, meet my taste before i await your reactions. <br />
But just wanna say thanks, to all you guys who watch, comment and in the most basic form of participation, simply enjoy my deviations.<br />
<br />
But having a varied style and whatnot, has it's downfall. I have a hard time sticking to a style. Everytime i draw or paint something, it takes control of me and usually, when the night is good, brings me down a path i never intended it to.<br />
Sure, the end product turns out satisfactory, but what about patience? I never had any when it came to my art. I just go with it, bring out the ideas and emotions as soon as possible, before i lose them. And that is a huge let-down when it comes to design, because design evolves, with clients and your target audience. It's not a single sit thing. It takes weeks sometimes, even for something as simple as a logo.<br />
<br />
Okay, stop.<br />
My mind is going down furious track of thoughts, so i better stop, before i hit the limit of words in a journal. Besides, i might be boring you beautiful people. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Till another time, don't stop being beautiful and creative! Take care mates~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yea, every artist sooner or later wants to draw faces. Humans, monsters, animals, whatever they might be, they want to draw them.<br />
<br />
But i'm one of the many people who struggle to draw faces. I'm talking about human faces mostly. I have improved, obviously, from 3 years ago BUT i still suck at drawing realistic faces. I usually just use referencial pictures for them. Helps, definitely helps. But even then...<br />
<br />
There are the details, the horrible details of the faces, to get it to look realistic. I just hate drawing realistic eyes, i swear i have a phobia of them... as much as i can avoid drawing them, i do. Which is bad of course. The more i run, the more i fear it. But that's my hated part of a human's face, to draw.<br />
<br />
What about you guys? Which part of the human face do you dread most to draw? Realistically or otherwise.<br />
<br />
<br />
And on a positive note. Went out and got myself Korn's new album See You On The Other Side which so far kicks ass. And also got meself P.O.D.'s Testify which as i am writing this journal, have yet to listen to it.<br />
<br />
Anyway devi-darlings, take care! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Funny title eh?<br />
Yea.<br />
<br />
Figured i should update my journal. Considering the fact that i log on to dA everyday, i really should be more pro-active in this community.<br />
<br />
I mean, besides the commenting, which has lessened greatly since about a year ago, when i really got into the dA addiction, i really should be more involved.<br />
<br />
But heck, i got a life, well kinda, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
<br />
But i do love to comment on your pieces, well that is, if i have anything good to say.<br />
<br />
Hit 4600 pageviews today, so that's good news. So, a big thanks to you guys out there, love ya lots. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
But i do wish for more comments on my pieces, considering 40 people watch me, which i am grateful for, i really wish i would get more feedback.<br />
<br />
The only dude who always comments on my pieces and even journals! is =<a class="u" href="http://codex-nz.deviantart.com/">Codex-nz</a> So a huge hug to that new-zealander. In a brotherly, straight fashion of course, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Take care deviants!<br />
<br />
PS: Get back to my gallery and comment!! Please? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/crying.gif" width="20" height="17" alt=":crying:" title="Crying" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Nah, not yet.<br />
<br />
But i've always desired the end of the world, apocalypse or whatever you want to call it, to happen in my lifetime.<br />
The curious part in me really wants to experience the end of everything. Wants to know what's all the biblical fuss is all about. I hope it's pretty fucking epic, with lots and lots of funny colored lightning filled skies and all the raining fireballs, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" /><br />
<br />
But when i voiced this desire out to my friends, most of them found it absurd and said i was crazy to wish for something like that.<br />
<br />
But i have 2 close mates who agree with my viewpoint. Curious bastards as like me, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
So, what do you say about it? Does your curiousity overwhelm your love for a peaceful existence? ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Man, the flash intro to the new layout kicked ass.<br />
<br />
Almost like if hitler had flash access, he would have done something similar to get the younger germans to vote for him. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Anyway,<br />
<br />
The new layout is fresh and i welcome it. Been here for over a year actively and even i got a little sick of the same stuff. But probably take sometime to get used to the changes. But i still welcome it nonetheless. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Enjoy it like i do, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />

And there were no thumbnail previews of the deviations. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
I'm still grateful for =<a class="u" href="http://eye-ku.deviantart.com/">eye-ku</a> for buying the subscription for me. Still have no idea why he did that exactly one year ago. But thanks still!<br />
<br />
Once i get a paypal account going, still no idea how to do that... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blankstare.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":|" title=":| (Blank Stare)" /> I'll get another year. The benefits are awesome, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
BUT, if anyone has cash laying around the house, under the couch, inbetween book pages, etc, just donate it to my subscription, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Inspiration, when asked what inspires us, we usually reply, everything, or most of the things we see in our lives. Movies, songs, birds, trees, lamposts. A pair of really beautiful breasts. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/drool.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":drool:" title="Drool" /> <br />
<br />
ANYTHING, basically.<br />
-<br />
-<br /><br />So instead, i ask you dear mates, what has inspired you the most?<br />
<br />
For me, it's music, not lyrics, but music. Tunes.<br />
<br />
It conjures so many scenes, moving and still, in our heads.<br />
<br />
Just makes me wanna explode those scenes onto a canvas.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Been a while since i updated my journal so thought i should.<br />
<br />
Although funny enough, i got nothing much to say.<br />
<br />
-<br />
-<br />
-<br /><br />But im curious about something.<br />
<br />
How many of you feel love in life is important?<br />
<br />
And i don't mean the love you get from your family and friends. Those are things we take for granted, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
<br />
But i mean having that particular someone in your life.<br />
<br />
Love hurts but do you still believe it's neccessary to have that form of love in our lives?<br />
<br />
-<br />
-<br />
-<br /><br />The first time i fell in love was beautiful but when it came time to end it, it was equally painful.<br />
<br />
But it seems i'm in love again. lol, and i'm scared. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Trilogies have getting hugely popular this last century with games as old as Marathon by Bungie to movies like The Lord of The Rings by Peter Jackson<br />
<br />
But one thing is shared among all. They have all gotten me excited like a 20 year old realising Santa Clause is actually real.<br /><br />But fuck all the ones before in the game world.<br />
<br />
The game Halo blew my freaking socks of years back when i first got my Xbox. Halo 2 rocked my boxers off with insanely well done graphics and storyline. I refuse to comment on the gameplay because if you need me to tell you about it, i'd rather shoot you due the fact that this shows you haven't played it yet. *bang bang* the twich is dead.<br />
<br />
Anyway, i recently checked about the long neglected world of Halo and realised the trailer for Halo 3 is out! Like omFg, i dled it like a clickety clicking monkey on steroids. And was once again blown away but the graphics and music and epic cinematics. Just makes me wanna kill them for making us wait till 2007.<br />
<br />
For those of you who know why the fuck i'm so excited but have yet to see the trailer, go to their main site <a href="http://www.bungie.net">[link]</a><br />
<br />
To the rest... screw yourselves. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" /><br />
Nah, just kidding, hope lives are turning out well this month, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />-<br />

And it's a fucking flea. I've been ripped off.<br />

The egg was green... How's that add up to a damn flea... iis beyond me.</a> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My graduation show, which is a week long exhibition for the graduating students in my art school to exhibit their works with some hope of getting work since its open to the public and whatnot.<br /><br />But interestingly enough after the show, i didn't get any job offers, even though all my namecards were taken or given out. But with my National Service waiting i cannot get any permernant jobs because the Service is compulsory and its for 2 years. And im still waiting for them to send the damn official letter so i would know when im starting.<br />
<br />
Anyway, with my grad show over, and i'm confident that ill be graduating without any problems, i sit in my room, knowing that i have no deadlines to worry about, no teachers to consult or impress or DEpress, for a while.<br />
<br />
Im free but it's a weird feeling to know that your routine of 3 years is suddenly over. New purpose needs to be found.<br />
<br />
ANYWAY,<br />
<br />
Anyone up for collabs? I'm dead bored and dead free, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />-<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey guys, how's life? <br />
<br />
Got tagged by *<a class="u" href="http://zummi.deviantart.com/">zummi</a> and basically im suppose to do the routine of writing 6 weird things about mua and choose 6 victims to carry on the virus, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Now, don't get me wrong, usually i don't do these community annoyances since its rather tedious. But 6 weirds things sounded fun and provoking, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boing.gif" width="9" height="17" alt=":boing:" title="Boing! Boing!" /><br />
<br />
And away we go~<br />
<br />
1) I love biting and chewing on a popsicle stick long after im done with the flavoured treat till i start tasting wood on my tongue.<br />
<br />
2) I love to flirt with women but always to tease and never take the next step towards a relationship. (Personally i find that rather odd, so no secks for the big boy)<br />
<br />
3) Procrastination has inspired many great ideas in my creative world.<br />
<br />
4) I love talking, singing and even mimicking characters when i burn midnight oil, just to keep awake. And yes, i do this even at 4am in the morning. Thank god for my iTunes, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />
<br />
5) I have chewed through my popcicle stick and now the wooden taste is getting disgusting.<br />
<br />
6) If i told you anymore, i would have to kill you.<br /><br />Now apparently, the rules say i have to choose 6 potential carriers.<br />
<br />

BAM!!! *thunder roars and lightning fills the sky* BOOM!<br /><br />You wake with a jolt like a heart attack and run to your window and see the sudden flashes as the people on the street are set ablaze as screams, deafening screams, fill your ear with a cruel atmosphere.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey there guys, how've you been this month?<br />
<br />
I have some great submissions by those i watch, even those that aren't on the 'popular' list in dA, so congrats on the great work mates!<br /><br />The reason i have been silent this month is because of one sole reason. <br />
<br />
Work.<br />
<br />
School work to be more precise. The project i had written on another journal about is taking up my mental, physical and spiritual strength. To do a proper book, there is so many nitty gritty details that you have to look into. Yikes, its scary to even think about it.<br />
<br />
And there was a short period when i was just... gone. Depressed and shit about everything in life. Even though i consider myself lucky for having this life, i was just knee deep in mental shit. Took me a while to get outta it and resume work on my project.<br />
<br />
Note to the potentially depressed, when you know you feel sick of everything you see and touch. Time to pull back, and gather around yourself everything positive. Everything you think, everything you see, and yes, everything you do must not have a distinctive negative effect. If not it starts a chain reaction of terrible thoughts.<br />
<br />
Personally i rarely am depressed, so it kinda sucks when it does come knocking on your door. <br />
<br />
dA has been very useful to come outta it. Just looking at so many inspiring and beautiful works helped. But one thing then i noticed, was the fact that humans have this instinctive love for something with a sad and pathetic tone. Something or someone cute and sad seems to be attractive to many. Strange but true. You can see a lot of sad works on dA. That was risky to look through when you are depressed.<br /><br />Anyway, if you guys have read to this point, i love you for that. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Don't you just fucking hate it when you open a new digital canvas to sketch an idea and creativity agrees with you and the flow goes well?<br />
<br />
I'm not making sense? Read on.<br /><br />And you stop to see what is it that makes you happy when you look at it. And you do the most natural thing.<br />
<br />
<br />
You edit it. Transform a layer... you adjust its size, angle and yes, even its very existence on your canvas.<br />
<br />
Then.<br />
<br />
Poof.<br />
<br />
<br />
Your program dissapears. Your digital canvas is no longer there, along with its tools and functions, and even your colour pallete is gone.<br />
<br />
Your desktop wallpaper greets you with sickening feeling in your gut.<br />
<br />
And,<br />
You just want to tear the first inanimate object infront of you.<br />
You know its not gonna lead well if you did so you calm yourself.<br />
<br />
Tempting. But you quell it.<br />
<br />
And before your anger is gone. So is that spark of passion that drove you to sketch that which is no longer there.<br />
<br />
-<br />
-<br />
-<br /><br />And they say digital painting tools are taking over the art world.<br />
<br />
Pfft.<br />
<br />
When my easel crashes on to the floor, my work doesn't dissapear.<br />
<br />
<br />
Moral of the story? Don't be so dependent on the digital realm to store your sparks, like i am.<br />
<br />
Hell guys, there is no fucking moral. Just me ranting before i throw myself outta the window for not saving my work. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, today was friday the 13th, which wouldn't really bother me since i aint superstitous but, my mate and i planned to go see the The Art of Starwars exhibition they were having in Singapore and i was held back in school longer than expected so we had to cancel the thing.<br />
<br />
And after i met up with him i realised he fell of his mountain bike in the morning and pretty much his right side of his body was a little messed up. Nothing too serious, just scraps, cuts and what not, the serious being a swollen ankle.<br />
<br />
But being a trooper he still met up and we had fun chatting and catching up. Been like 3 months since i met up with him, <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" /><br /><br /><br /><br /> ]]></description>
