As I hit the 4000-pageviews mark, I'd just like to say thanks to those who actually clicked on the 'Kabs' link. The website I'm making is nearing its finishing mark, and I've gotta finish soon because school starts again in a week. My AS grades I recieved a few days ago were neutral (as in, half were really good and the other half were really bad).

By the way, I still have loads more SSBB snapshots, so they'll be coming up on a relatively regular basis.

Though I said I don't have time to create any sort of art, I do happen to have a load of previously taken snapshots from Super Smash Bros Brawl (for those who like the game). I'll be putting one up every so often, hope you enjoy.

It seems my job has taken over most of my time. That being said, I make my own hours because I'm working on project (basically, I don't get paid until I finish the work). My deadline's in a week and I seem to have just last 4 days worth of work (hooray).

After this project, I'll be starting another project straight away which I've been given four months to do. However, I'm going to use this project for my A2 ICT coursework as well, so in a sense, I'm getting paid to do my schoolwork...awesome!

With all that and my upcoming schoolwork, it seems I may not have time to post anything new until next year at the earliest
Oh well, it's been fun.

I just learnt the concept of the tenth-dimention and every dimention below it...wow, that was amazing and surprisingly interesting:
[link] (Part 1)
[link] (Part 2)
The duration it roughly 10 minutes and it's fairly easy to follow (there's no need for prior knowledge, I should now, I only learnt it today)

--
Basically, I'm quite the Mathematics freak, here's an example:-
I could quickly and easily multiply any two digit number by 11 and I'm going to teach you (brace yourselfs), or just skip to the bottom.

So, 23 x 11 = 253

To do this, first split the 23: 2 3
Then add the two number together: 5
Put the result between the two numbers: 2 5 3
...and that's your answer

Now if the middle number is 10 or above, carry the tens to the front digit:

So, 68 x 11 = 748

...because 6 + 8 = 14, so 4 goes in the middle and the 1 is added to the 6 to make 7

Confirmation that I'm a Mathematics freak is that I actually like this song:

I have no regrets in my Mathematics enthusiasm.

Now that I've bored you half to death, I'll just mention that I'm starting a new job tomorrow. I'll be working at the London Metropolitan University in Web Designing and IT Maintenance. I have a lot of stuff to learn over the next few months:
Javescript
C++
Java
Flash
More Photoshop
Dreamweaver (or WebPlus X2 if I can get my hands on it)

Otherwise, I've been readings book called Digital Manga Techniques which explains the recent improvement in my artwork. Anyway, have fun guys (if you like Maths extensively, which I doubt, you can ask me for more useful info ).

Since I am a NCO (Non-Comissoned Officer), I ended up doing quite a bit of shouting and organising games. Being a NCO is like doing the hardest work without the extra reward.

Now, I need to desperately finish my homework, involving a database, boring number crunching (Statistics) and probably other that I can't seem to recall.

Who knows, I might get round to writing some new stuff, depending on how forgiving time is...my legs pain.

American universities are so hard to get to, it's kind of annoying (okey, very annoying). Though I'm still considering the US, there's a good chance I'll be staying here, in which case I'd be hoping for Oxford or Imperial.

I had my interview for my application for the Head Boy position in school. I answered every question quite well, even the ones that were meant to slip me up. Now all I can do is hope for the best.

You have to listen to "Dear My Friend" by Brent Cash, it's so calming and cheesy, just the sort of music I like listening to.

So, the first year of A-Level (AS) is over for me. The exams were fairly easy, with the exception of Economics. For those of you who don't know, I am currently studying 4 A-Levels:

Mathematics
Further Mathematics
I.C.T
Economics

I already obtained my Computer Science A-Level two years ago and I'm planning on dropping Economics next year, even though we have to start the second year studies for ALL our subjects until the end of July.

I'm also looking into possible universities, I've found the perfect course for me in the perfect place (BSc Computer Science and Mathematics in Yale University). I actually really want to study in America, the only thing that's holding me back is the cost, it's way to expensive for me and I can't find an appropriate scholarship. Oh well...

More importantly, I've found another someone who I really like, and here's the best part, she likes me too. After at least 3 months, things are going great between us, though I have recently upset and I need to make it up to her somehow, I don't want her feeling ignored or rejected.

Otherwise, things are going slightly rough, but smooth enough to not complain about it. I've gotta hear from all of you again, let me know what I've missed.

Edit: I forgot you had to pay to use the journal skins, so in case you're wondering, it didn't work.

More importantly, there's a poetry competition going on around here, and I was hoping to enter. I found out about it two months ago, but I was still at my writers block at that time. The theme is 'Doubt' and I'm hoping that through DA I can improve my skill before sending off my poetry. Even if I don't win, I least I improve, and that to me counts as something.

I'm hoping, with all my poetry, that I get some constructive criticism. Thanks.

It was a lot of fun, not to mention a lot of cosplayers, and I got myself a ninja voodoo doll (also available at [link]).

All my spriting work has banned due to copyright. My most popular piece (Envious) has also been removed since it had spriting on it...oh well, no more sprites from me.
I started a Pokémon Meme and a celebration wallpaper for reaching 1000 pageviews, but I'm not allowed anymore due to me being banned from spriting...

]]> ~Kabs http://Kabs.deviantart.com/journal/16331227/ http://Kabs.deviantart.com/journal/16331227/ Wed, 09 Jan 2008 14:42:33 PST School started yesterday, saw her again, haven't talked to her though. Someone tells me that she might have seen this page (crap...), I doubt it's true, but if it is she won't know who I always refer to.
Got some of my exam results back, 1 good grade out of 8, got another 4 to find out (of subjects I'm not good at anyway).
Started a Pokémon Meme, but then got lazy. Probably won't put up any art anytime soon due to school (what with exam retakes and stuff like that).
I couldn't do good during the exams, I couldn't get her out of my head. Though, she did very well (highest grades on the exams in some subjects); I guess I can't impress her with my intelligence (if any, heh).

3. Tags should write a journal / blog of these facts.
4. At the end of the post 6 more persons are tagged and named.
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged.

1. My favorate food is fudge
2. I am 'in love'...
3. ...which had made me very depressed
4. I'm a spriter...
5. ...and a poet (I'd choose poetry over spriting)
6. I am not finding this fun (Replay the Fox is a liar!)

Tagged people (sorry dudes...):


P.S: I don't know why I'm doing this, I just found it really funny when I heard this:
"Okey Naruto, I need you to walk across the water."
"Like Jesus?"
"Yes Naruto, like Jesus."
"Wait a minute...was Jesus a ninja?"
"Yes Naruto, JESUS was a ninja."
"Really?!"
"No, not really!"
"Ooh..."

for the support in keeping me on track. I also need to thank my closest friends:



Everyone currently watching me classifies as my closest friends (with the inclusion of Sanoon and Rock the Ecindna)
for being there when I need them the most (which is pretty much all the time). I'm not normally this sentimental but I feel very emotionally weak, so enjoy it while it lasts but don't take advantage of it. I can't force myself to cry right now (my brother's in the room anyway) and I can't seem to write any poetry at the moment. So I'll write some of my feeling here (as opposed to suicide, heh) which may turn into a poem at a later point...

I need her right now, I only saw her for half a minute today. Weekends are great; relaxation, lack of work, more sleep, etc. But, there's only one negative thing about the weekend, I don't get to see her and that outweighs all the positive aspects of Saturday and Sunday. It's torture but now I'll have to endure it for a lot longer. The last time I'll see her this year is on 19th December 2007 (hopefully no earlier) and I won't see her again until 8th January 2008 (hopefully no later), I don't know how I'm going to survive. I ask all my closest friends for their continued emotional support during the holidays, I thank you highly and I really appreciate it.

To the girl who means more than just the world to me...
Chances are you'll never read this, and you'll probably never find out or fully understand my feeling towards you. I want you...no, I need you. I need to hear your comforting voice, I need to see your heart-warming smile, I need to watch your hair flow with the wind and shine with the sun, I need a glimpse of your beautiful brown eyes. You are the thought in my mind every minute of everyday, but I can never get a proper image of you in my mind, it's always a blur. You're too beautiful for my mind to comprehend. I...love you, but I'm still too weak to use such words and I'm only getting weaker. It is your curse but it isn't your fault.
I love you...that's all I can truly say but never admit.

P.S: to anyone who read all of that (without sleeping or taking a break) I congratulate you, I salute you and I thank you dearly...

P.P.S: You know when I said I won't make or put up any deviations during the exam period? I seem to have lied without realising (I've already put up five deviations) but thank you to those who have viewed and favorated these.

Spent day with my mind focused on her and nothing else; could barely do my work or probably react to other people and their comment.
Added a sprite of me drunk, a big sprite might I add, took a long while.

Edit: Also added a poem based on my usual complaining.

[link]
If you are strong theist, against swear words and rudeness, or gets offended of easily; don't watch. A lot of you are bound to ignore that statement and watch it anyway, so don't go complaining to me when you get pissed off!
Added new sprite of me battling Aziz, may add new sprite later and possibly poetry at a later point.

Edit: Added a one-off sprite, though it's not complete, won't be adding poem today.

Wrote one of the worst, most crappiest poems ever, extremely boring and most likely not worth reading. If I get time later on today/tomorrow (it's nearing midnight) then I'll write a much better poem (I'm in the mood to do so...that's not actually a good thing).

Edit: It has now become the next day, but I still put up an improved version of the poem I put up 'yesterday'. So, there you go, 2 more poems for you to read, point and laugh.

In school, had to work with someone I wanted to shun out of my life; life's never on my side. Came up with memorable quote today; I never get cold and I'd rather be cold than hot, someone asked me why that is and I said in return, "When it's too cold you can put on as many clothes as you want, but if it's too hot there's only a certain amount of clothes you can take off..."
Added new poem, called 'Mistake = Loss' (wasn't allowed to use '=' in title, so had to put 'equals', but didn't want to).

Added a photograph that I took a few months ago: Sun Void or Light-Hole.

Edit: Added new poem called 'Unloved', was quite pissed when writing it; but hey, what else is new?

Haven't had time to write new poetry either, so all the annoying emotions are still bottled up inside (crap...). I would say this is shredding my heart to pieces, but I don't have one (it was stolen by random girl...), that doesn't mean I'm not in pain (hence the Pain poem) and I'm gonna end the rant here because I've got that damn homework/coursework to finish.
