Shinocturne

It's a bizarre circus of crying souls,
Like a pierrot who doesn't know any tricks,
A parade of melancholy and silence,
A raving bad playing broken instruments,
The Midnight Circus has come to town.

Well, I'm currently doing what I've been aiming for since the latter half of my high school years; that is studying Graphic Design, or at least something art related. I'm not super talented at art, but I think I've got a decent grasp on things.

So recently, not to say that I'm regretting my choice or anything. But some of the modules really piss me off. Modules are classes, or subjects, if you want to have it that way. During foundation we had about 6-7 modules per semester, and starting first year onwards they cut it down to 5.

So far all the modules have made sense and have been related to my course, one way or another. But then suddenly, there's Typographic Studies. It's fine, it's related. But the lecturer honestly sucks balls. He can't blame students if they don't wanna turn up for his class. He just sucks that bad, I think I've skipped most of his classes this sem. (Yeah I'm bad, bla bla...I got my attendance signed still.)

I understand learning typography, but so far he hasn't taught us anything. We learnt to design our own fonts on OUR OWN. We learned Fontlabs on OUR OWN. (Sort of) And guess what the final assignment is? Making a booklet. That's right. How the hell is that related to Typo at all? Plus we have to spend money making our booklets. The reason I chose Multimedia major is also because of the minimal amount of money I have to spend on making things because my craftsmanship sucks balls. Plus the booklet needs a concept. Garggghhhh, why can't I just make a regular booklet? -.- Why does it need to have 3D effects, popups, diecuts and embedding? Wtf so expensive you know? Gah. I haven't started on the booklet at all.

Now I've got Marketing, which I'm not so keen on doing for some obvious reasons..then there's Design Research, which is actually okay. Just need to get things in order. Web Design is fine too, just haven't really started coding..Then there's a couple of presentations lol. And why the hell do we need to present our booklets? Cannot just submit? -.- Sienz.

Anyways. Done ranting. I took the weekend off. Prolly tomorrow too. Gonna get working the whole of next week. Luckily Typo got delayed to Week 16...Nights.

Ambigram Fun

This one is some sort of an imperfect Ambigram. This way it says Rain (with extra other stuff around it) but when you flip it over, it says Kevin. Hmm, I was planning to use these for a couple T Shirt Design (corny and mushy, yes I know) someday. Let's see how that goes.

It's RainMin =X When it's upside down it is also RainMin. XD Fun eh? I didn't design the type, but I did decorate it, although that isn't saying much. Dunno if I can get anymore, since it requires payment. =O I love you dear! <3>

First of all, Happy Belated Birthday to my dear sister Zy~ And Happy Birthday to laupeh Jang~

I'm heading out for a haircut. There's about a month left for me here, and another month is long enough to grow a neckbeard with my hair. I don't think I want that.

Anyways, gonna cut my hair short, do my fringe, and then head to Korean BBQ to celebrate Jang's birthday. After that the guys might want to watch a movie. So why not? Haven't had any decent R and R (Rest and Relaxation) sessions in a while. Do some male bonding, or whatever you like to call it. Sausage fest?

Anyways, I have been overtaken by some kind of emotion which I don't know to describe. Motivation? Hmm well I feel like finishing up most of my work today and then have some decent rest for the rest of the week. There's like..2 presentations left. A couple of journals, a proposal and that's about it hm? I hope so. Wish me luck.

Well, that's all I suppose. Laters?

it's 5:54 PM now

So it's another post of random ranting.

Yeah, well, see, I can't help it. You can't blame me. Probably one of my idiosynchrosies.

Hmm, its night time. Or midnight, to be honest. It's cold. No, I'm not shirtless. Though that's probably not important.

Lesee. I need a haircut. Min has seen me. It's not pleasant. A few inches of hair away from being related to neanderthals.

I feel like having supper. Maybe later.

Yeah, no, maybe I'll stop now. I think putting some of my thoughts into words is just pointless. Some people never learn from their mistakes. As much as it ticks me off and makes me want to reveal my feelings, why don't you go learn a lesson? =O

Well, I just got back from a walk. Well, the housemates are back now. They were out earlier. Lol, didn't bother going because I was lazy. Didn't feel like diving into my assignments because I don't feel like it, so for a moment I had nothing to do. But oh well. Gonna hit the sack now. The fries I had with my burger sucked lol, stomach don't feel so good now. Well, night all. Miss you lots dear <3

Crossroads

You are born.
You are loved.
You learn to walk.
You go to school.
You grow up, make friends.
You end the first phase of your life.

Then you begin to think about the future, or you put the plans you've been making during the first phase in motion.

The plan goes your way. Or it doesn't. You screw up, have regrets, then move on.
The experience is valued, you try not to mess up the next time. You pass the experience on.
You hope nobody repeats your mistake. But again, shit happens.

Life is a funny thing. Human beings are funnier. After a thousand years of civilization, we don't change much. Our clothes, the way we talk, the way we work change. The way we think...I think it doesn't change much. Yes, I'm speaking from another point of view. Because I can, and I'm analyzing.

You are born lucky, everything is given to you, you make things work, but there are expectations to fill in, you are under constant pressure. Or, you end up thinking you're superior, you take things lightly, your mess around, screw up, grow old, and find it too late to regret.

You are born common, you work your way through life, if you need something, you make the best of things, you walk till your legs bleed to be better. Life is bittersweet.

Lol, don't mind me, I'm rambling random nonsense according to my jumbled up thoughts.

Here I am, living the life I planned ever since I was in Form3. No no, I don't have any regrets. Just, responsibilities are hard to bear, you know? Funny, life gets tougher every year. But then there's a lot to be thankful for..so I guess I can't complain.

If you don't start somewhere, you'll go nowhere.

Well..choices choices, make sure you weigh your options out.

I guess that's all. Gonna take a break from work and probably watch a few shows or something. No, not porn. =D

Random Update

It's been quite a while since my last blog. I do visit sometimes, to remove the occasional spam. Been busy handling my assignments. Still have a proposal to finish, a booklet to create, and another website. Oh yes, and an imaginary company to manage. Doesn't seem like much but it's really quite difficult..considering how demanding our lecturers are this semester. Aaanyways, I won't be updating as often, unless there's something big going on.

Currently though:

1) I'm growing my hair long. Not gonna cut it till before I'm going back to Brunei, which is like..around June.
2) Drunk Seng is funny.
3) Ang's birthday is coming soon. Means karaoke night is on this coming Wednesday.
4) Wolverine movie was good. I like the reference to 300 when Wolverine kicks Deadpool into the pit. Gambit pwns.
5) ...Can't think of anything else. =O

Edit: Ah right, don't forget to add my new (spare) MSN address : feralwolf76@live.com because my old one isn't accessible for the time being. I'm freezing it until MSN resolves the bug.
