fresh new start

finally a post since ......... whenever the last post was.

I have chose Advertising Communication for my specialism.

despite the fact that its not my strongest area, and my lecturers thinks so too..

but I'm digging the challenges up ahead, keeps me wanting for more knowledge.

i guess the only thing keeping from succeeding is my laziness!

i know, i admit and this time im gonna do my best to overcome it..

I still have 2 weeks to my ICT... house is going major toilet makeover.

Messy messy messy..

will be at WX hse for awhile.. Thanks to her.. i have a shelter for 10 days..

hope this holiday will be a pretty fruitful one physically, in terms of knowledge and also emotionally.. =)

good luck to me..

peace out! yosh

communication

I have realized that people have forgotten how to talk to people through the phone. With all the messaging stuff going on, people utilized message far more than calling them on the phone.

A simple piece of message could be delivered by calling the person and end the call in probably 5mins.. but instead, now people would sms/twit the message and gonna use up abt 3-5 message to get the whole picture across..

so is the trend good for us??

what if it has grown to a stage where people doesn't even talk to each other when they meet.. ?

still relying on the wonderful function of MESSAGING.

give it a thought.

yosh Rant out~

New life

Been away for a while.

New life began as a student. Coming 6 weeks. Feeling good and enriching.

Things that have changed as I'm a student.

1) Watch very closely my spending.
2) Slightly more time for sleeping
3) Spend 30 mins every morning browsing through newspaper to look out for interesting NEWS.
4) Paying attention to more design related stuff everywhere i go.
5) I can make my own notebook!!!

Things that have NOT changed .

1) My table is still in a mess
2) Not enough Money to spend as usual.
3) There is still Tons of items i wanna buy.

Currently im piled with school projects and freelance works as well. juggling them both its somehow more difficult than when im working.
Upon waiting for my Macbook Pro, im sourcing out where are the other means of getting applications. anyone have any clue please let me know. Thanks!

Im gonna start a quote a day starting of now. A quote that made me thinking deep enough to imprint in my mind and fully understand that true meaning to it. That does include status update or tweet.

Here's the first one.

"You see things and you say, 'Why?', But I dream things that never were and I say 'Why not?'
~ George Bernard Shaw.

a time like this

I somehow don't understand how people think these days.

how could you leave for a holiday at a time like this.
we are all struggling to pull through this.
you even reject my leave. I don't understand.. Im needed to be around. so that you can go for holiday.

Yes, its every man for himself. But why am I always the one that is for not himself..
sick of being the "good guy" ..

There is really not a bit of reason for me to stay here anymore.

Thanks for the teaching.

Yosh is pissed.

tendered

Oh before i forget..

i just tendered my resignation on tuesday. One step closer....

penciling down

Im finally pencil-ing down thoughts

on a dry friday afternoon.
looking at pictures of peoples' past.
sudden urge of scribbling kicks in.
did a piece of visual and a short lines of words.

after half a book of mindless notes, i finally utilize my moleskin properly.
thinking of getting a new one for small inspiration needs.

mobile entry

- this is a mobile entry -
place : library @ esplanade

actions : waiting of lyn to arrived while taking the time to blog this entry and charge my iphone.

couple of hours away to head down to Victoria Theater for the opening of Arts Fest 2010 : Fire Garden Installation. but the weather doesn't look promising. Hope it doesn't rain later.

I just did a recce when i walked from MICA to esplanade with Ivanna. There were swings, stages, pathway created from empty pots stacked. and lastly the installation which will be on flames later.



come to think of it.. too bad yesterday i didnt thought of here. We were out shooting for lipings's wedding photos. and cos of the time management we had to give up 1 day shoot venue and change to 2 night shoots. If i had know there were swings over here, would have brought them over . damn. Nevertheless, it was a good shoot after all that tiredness, aching body and sore hips.

(i cant take any shots as the photographer doesn't allow me to do so, therefore i could only take some snipshots with my iphone.)












the shoot ends at Helix bridge. Apparently there are still lotsa construction work going on, so if u are looking to shoot more stuff u gotta wait awhile longer. =)

guess its almost time that lyn arrived .

Signing off ..

back in business

I know.. its been a long long while since i blogged an entry.

well.. its quite a couple of months of numerous happenings around me and my friends..

Firstly i wanna thank all the friends that was with me all these while.

Today marks the 2 months i have left til i leave my job. Been waiting for it for years. Not that I'm waiting to leave my job, but to my studies. I'm finally going to study at LASALLE College of the Arts. =)

School starts on August, that gives me 1 month to prepare for school. But here comes the awesome news.. I'm going to San Francisco this July. Whoo hoo~
Finally have the opportunity to take a look at the big world, chance to take pictures from a different land, experience a total different life out there. for approximately 2 weeks. Will be photo-blogging when im there.. with my Hipstamatic. =)

Before i could reach that, I have to endure a painful 2 months of pure workaholic lifestyle til i finish 2 projects in a month. Things to get done are really tight up so tightly that we are making miracles happen.

On the other side, I have to work extra hard for my drumming as im playing for 3 bands in this year Street Fest this June. I really hope things could work out and the training i put pays off. No more enjoyment for a month. Only pure hard work.

Okay, so much for the events that is coming up.
Will be updating frequently and also going to change my writing. not to be so improper. only good English.. =)

Let's all work hard people.
ps: Bless all of friends in whatever they do, good things will be on it's way. Especially to someone that has dreams that she still hasn't has the courage to take the first step. Let her have it.

All I Wanted

Paramore - All I Wanted

Think of me when you're out, when you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
And when the world treats you way too fairly
Well it's a shame I'm a dream

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
Wake up early to black and white re-runs?
That escaped from my mouth

Oh-Oh

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I could follow you to the beginning
And just relive the start
And maybe then we'll remember to slow down
To all of our favorite parts

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

After the shoot.. three of us end up with tons of bites all over our legs.. and my god.. the number of bites are uncountable..

Getting prepared for the DND shoot this Thursday.. well.. no pressure.. I'm not the primary photographer.. Dion is.. hahaz

the peace before the war

Came back from a unwatched movie.. thinking that im tired ... yet.. im here updating my blog. -_-||| ...

this weekend will be the resting before i embarked on my 'cheongster' work for certain project at work.. this project will be a good one if i can pull it off in3 weeks time..

things aside.. recently.. somethings haven been smooth in my music side..
it all started when wkv is no more.. from then one.. there wasnt left much to jam for me..
was left with Qt5 .. no worries.. Qt5 was fun .. jamming top hits chinese songs.. only downturn is the drum is rather simple.. not much challenge .. Im always trying to seek for something challenging in music.. so that i can go on to the next level..
been looking ard if any bands are lack of a drummer.. and there's RAYVE.. i started off as a session.. where i stand in for their drummer(MIA) ... den slowly became one of their member..
we are all blood thrusting musician where dying to play in gigs and perform. so we join PBO (Project Breakout) and EOY (End-of-Year) gig. Unfortunately, we didnt make it for PBO.. i was totally sadden.. maybe got used to thinking that sure have the chance to play for gigs.. but that just total put me off.. and i was telling myself.. something have to be done..

upon finding out the reason that we got rejected.. mainly its because.. the wrong choice of song.. i was awakened.. and frens have been urging me to talk this thing out.. for the better of the band..
YES.. i made it.. share my thoughts with the band.. they agreed and we alter our song choice for the audition for EOY.. and true enough ..we got in..but not sure.. we got in cause of that reason.. haha.. we are actually quite amazed that we got in.. as there are all pretty good band auditioning with us..
thinking that we got in and so happy abt.. came along a irritating truth.. that is.. for EOY ..we are required to play only one song(that also applies to all the band tat got in).. and the song is not even the song that we change.. -_- that is so lame ...

Along with all this event... something within the band has happened.. and indirectly has cause some members to stop playing.. so when EOY ends.... its also the end of RAYVE for the current members.. well.. we all has accept the fact .. and start to thing what are we gonna do after EOY.. which is in the year 2010.. well hope that year will be good one for RAYVE and smooth one.. gambatte.. ~
