NOW THAT... WAS LONG

2009-01-22T13:06:00.000-08:00

last post was in oct. so ive clearly been on a long-ass hiatus hehe, but im back... for now, so many things ive missed out, the day i went back to bru for my winter holz, eid adha, christmas, NEW YEARS of all things, haiyy, guess a lot's been going on thats keeping me away from this site haha, or maybe i wasnt bothered to blog for those months :p hehe i dunno...

anyway its a new year, happy 09 everyone! and i hope this year brings you and i great prosperity and whatever-the hell-else :)

i dont really wanna make this about the whole winter trip cuz i had a lot of fun doing a lot of things so i cant be bothered to mention 'em all ya know, so im gonna sum it up... WINTER HOLIDAY = playboy robe/fah's return/r8/singapore boys/konged/gumbull/emp new years and SA-KI-KONG! done... there, the rest is left to your imagination :)

anyway throughout those (oct, nov, dec, jan) 4months ive left a few things... or i should say, let a few things grow... for one... the mane... i havent cut it since then so its pretty long... not super long... but long... and secondly the facial hair... its grown and groomed :p hehe you'll see what i mean:

ANYWAY: ta-ta, i will post another very soon cause i already know what to post haha...

here's a good example of the things i do in my dorm room if i dont have work to do hehe, it starts with surfing the net, and then thinking of things which are cool to draw, and then *oh crap* no paper, what else can i draw on... and then this is where the pics come in n tell the rest of the story :p... hope u like them... just remember IT'S THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD...

i know what you're all thinking... "WHY SO... JOBLESS?!"

anyway, i'm off, will update soon enough, half term is coming so i'll be a jobless twit and blog every day!! well not every day :D

TOODLES!

a week since...

2008-10-08T13:08:00.000-07:00

RAYAAA!! second raya in the uk and it was a bittersweet one, i mean last year it was fun cause incidentally it was my half term so i got two weeks off, but this year it was three weeks shy of half term so instead i had to go sch after an awesome 3 day school break :s oh well, half term is less than two weeks away and im lookin forward to it... raya was more ramai tho, i mean A.Jef's here, and A.Nas as well so we had a few open houses to attend *both of em 5mins drive from the house* haha so yea, it was a good break, twas quite hard getting back the sch mood but im back n im rolling...

oh btw did i mention i'm an uncle of two now? i didn't? well, i am... HS had their second baby and this time its a..... GIRL! born on the 7th october 2008... congrats to the both of em and of course congrats to the "bosses" as well on having their second grandchild :) *i guess my prediction was wrong, thought it was gonna be a boy :\ hmmm* i guess HQ won't be too lonely when both his parents are at work, cant think of a good name for baby girl HS atm, hmmm... i'm not really sure who's gonna be picking it this time tho, maybe they'll let her youngest uncle do the honors this time *doubt it tho :\*

ANYWAY WAIT FOR MY NEXT POST, WHICH IS COMING RIGHT UP AFTER THIS! :)

toodles!!

exeat

2008-10-08T10:41:00.000-07:00

feels like i havent blogged in ages, well i actually haven't, for one i didn't have time during the last 2weeks or so, and deadlines were looking at me strait in the eyes so i had to take care of them first, and now finally im free to continue... sorry about the delay :)

well exeat was awesomely, strangely fun... zhao made his way up to london n decided to stay at my place. Friday night we were spose to watch tropic thunder at 8pm at o2 but he hadnt had his dinner yet so we decided to go a lil later, we had sum shish *gooood shish* at mogador and then we had sum time to kill, we went by taxi to trocadero and arcaded a good hour away and then *cleverly* took the underground cause we thought we were so cool and like we knew our way around n shit, but i guess we didnt...

we decided that the cinema we wanted to go to was close to finchley central, but its nooo wherree close... we walked up n down the road, tryna get taxi no. from strangers and acting as if we knew where we were but no luck, finally got a cab about an hour later and we asked him to take us to the o2 cinema, and he took us to the wrong one... some loser one near north finchley... it was so annoying... but we did manage to catch a late late show of tropic thunder and i must say that movie.... SUX!!! *sorry dunno bout you guys but its an awful OVER movie* and that was friday night... sigh

saturday was more chilled, didnt do that much, we decided to watch righteous kill at the correct cinema this time and it was a much better movie, worth it... sunday was a real lazy day for me as usual, chilled in bed, watched the f1 night race in spore, and then that nite as usual back to sch... sigh...

2 more days till exeat!

2008-09-24T05:35:00.000-07:00

exeats coming quickly! cant believe its oredi been a month since i've been here, well ish, but yea... time passes extra quickly now, kinda seems a lil bit too fast for my liking *hmmmm* oh well

last weekend was pretty cool, first weekend as man of the house, carrying the house keys and shit hehe, was supposed to watch tropic thunder *gonna catch it with zhao this weekend* with AB but there was some miscommunication *haha* so we ended up just chillin at checkmate (ABs place) shishaing. around 12 we made our way to thai sqaure, it was just 5 of us; me, AB, annie, sarah and ming... it was a saturday night so it was real packed! music was quite good although the bass wasnt as strong as i liked it to have been. We were there till about 3+ and then made our way back home... redbull kept me going hehe well not really redbull, SHARK hehe its thai redbull, sweeter and stronger...

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, GOTTA MAKE MY WAY TO DT, LOTS AND LOTS TO DO!!! CIAO!

drawing tiaz...

2008-09-02T06:02:00.000-07:00

took my sweet time drawing this, as i said to tiaz, art's never meant to be rushed :p twas quite complicated and its definitely not my best work cuz there was alot of shading to do but nonetheless it was a pleasure to do; tiaz, u should be very happy and feel very special hahaha-

step one: features

step two: shading

step three: finishing

freedom ends...

2008-09-02T03:26:00.000-07:00

in about 7hrs il be back in that shitty little hell-hole i call school. the only thing that's keepin me going is tht its my last year there, since ive tolerated 1 year, this upcomin one should be a piece o' cake. the thing is, once its all over, then u realise tht u kinda miss it... oh well, not dealin with tht future shit now.

u noe how people usually starve of food during ramadhan, like they cant wait till sungkai n shit, i feel the same way but i guess over the past two years, my cravings hav changed from food n drinks to cigarettes... which is kinda sad *pauses, thinks of breaking fast with a joker (sampoerna ciggs)* so how ah??

i'm actualy quite busy right now so im gonna ciao 4 abit, i'll leave u all with some new pics: a new school year comes fresh with a new iz-doo...

this is what kanan call's the half-hawk

wondering why it's called half-hawk? well these pics don't really do justice to the haircut cause on the other side its the same length as the top. *enough chatter, you sound like a dork*

look out for my next post, its a treat/perk on SV.blog, request a sketch from me of whatever, most preferably your face or for guys, your girlfriend's face and i will try my best to draw it in 24 hrs. Tiaz is my first client, well i offered to draw her cuz she was quite upset i couldnt show her my awesome art proj that featured her. [tiaz: its comin along real well, will post in an hour or so :)] oh btw, you gotta be a good friend for me to accept your request :p

ANYWAY, ENJOY!

2008-08-30T15:21:00.000-07:00

i'm back for a new year in the ol' uk, there's nothing like the shit feeling tht u feel when u leave all u love behind for a place u truly despise ey? oh well.

arrived in the afternoon, went bk to PH n didnt do much else, completely opposite atmosphere from bk home, im usually out n about or maybe even just at home chillaxin with the core... time passes fuckin slowly when ur bored. had a weird nite, slept 4 times in the space of 5hrs, if thats even possible, couldnt sleep after 4am (11am GMT+8) so i did what i longed to do during the whole of my summer holiday, flip thru channels which are actually worth watching.

caught two movies in a day, thats how jobless i can get when im stuck at home with the rents, caught get smart, always wanted to watch that and it was aight, not the best but still entertaining, oh btw, anne hathaway was OP man, she grew up goooood. just came back from watching the strangers, supposedly the new others (thriller wise) but cant come newhere close to it... slightly disappointing, quite cliche but it did get me jumpin out my seat a few times (nothin compared to mirrors tho).

this is how muthafuckin bored i am, im actually startin a blog... never in my sinful life i thought i'd come down to this hahahaha, well if egg does it i guess its considered "manly" hahaha so i'll do it too...

"pick up the taylor and find new chord progressions" - iz's brain.

found a few, nothin phenomenal tho, just very catchy melodies... BAH KAN SIGUP JAP, WILL BLOG AGAIN TOMORROW, IF I'M BOTHERED...
