10 more days to poc. it’s freaking damn fast.
to a large extent i enjoyed it as i made good friends inside.
since i cant talk about what’s going on in my army life. let’s talk about some observations i made
the bad:
1) you cant imagine how NOT toilet trained many people are. shitting out of target, not flushing properly and anyhow throwing used toilet roll. u can even see FOOD in URINALS LOL?
2) some people just cannot listen to simple instructions properly. eg unfold ur card boxes so the rubbish IC (which is me) can throw away easily and efficiently. throwing rubbish in toilet that has no rubbish bin.
3) this is just specific to a bastard who tore of my drawing and almost refused to return to me until his buddy asked him to return me. didnt even apologise. fucked up people.
the good
1) i honestly cant expect people in c9l3 to be enthusiastic about army but i’m definitely wrong. i have some really great platoon mates who really drive our platoon and make it a really fun experience
2) friendship, like duh. well it’s true that the tougher ur times are the stronger friendships are forged. c9l3 cant get really tough as it’s obvious. but well u still do find really nice people around.
3) sergeants. this is just to my platoon’s sergeants. i got really nice sgts and i’m really grateful of that. not to mention my PC too, fantastic encik.
alright generally described wad i felt and observed in tekong
let me type this down b4 i forget.
it’s like been almost 2 yrs. so long ago yet seems so recent.
i had a dream about you. a freaking vivid dream which doesnt really make sense
i dreamt that my mum arranged a wedding (dun ask me how she did that cos it’s a dream) for me and u (LOL?)
when i came to know about this news i was really shock and at a loss of what to do since i know we’re at a huge distance now.
as days draw nearer i begin to feel more and more tensed, somehow hopeful somehow knowing this will go wrong.
in the end it’s obvious that the wedding is gone case.
well nonsensical dream. but it made me realise u still do hold a place somewhere.
but bleh no worries just typing it out for the sake of sharing.
hope you’re good at work and with people. i probably wont need to say this actually LOL
anyhow i’ve watched fate stay night anime. and this is one lovely figurine i’d really wanna get. but seems like preorders in sg’s shop are all closed and sold out. do i really have to resort to asking people to help me buy using credit cards?
alright, army stuff aside
let’s talk a lil about wad i was doing
1) 1.5 months spent in takahan’s studio doing anime drawings and background.
i can totally feel myself improving alot. in terms of workflow, completeness of work
1.5 months ago i dunno how to draw background at all. now i’ve accomplished 10-15 pieces.
all looking pretty nicely done IMO.
a mystery-murder story which involve cute little girls killing each other
overall i enjoyed it quite alot
but i must say u must be patient to last thru season 1 as sometimes u seriously just wanna say
wtf is going on?
season 2 reveals anything u wanna know and the actual story opens up.
alright.. and hence i continued watching several ongoing anime like clannad after story, toradora, soul eater
and then, my 2nd sis finally gotten married to her husband after 11 yrs of long running relationship
it’s pretty amazing if u look at the society now. such relationship is rarer than striking lottery i guess.
both’s each other’s 1st love. sweet eh?
i did the wedding montage for them, kinda hurried and rush cos of my work though.
the wedding is a little chaotic, i didnt get to sit with my sis also. sat with a bunch of mum’s china friends.
and i tell you, they attack the food with no reservation so it’s stressful LOL
next, i bought 4 lucky star figurines
posable figurines called figma to be exact
words are useless without pics
cute eh…. of course. they’re my darlings.
alright, i abit dunno wad to say liao.
take care everyone and heypi niu ear
you know. i really feel like a joke when it comes to this.
it has been…… let’s see…. at the very least 4 years.
let me give u this senario.
you’re with a bunch of friends. i can say they are nice friends
and they make every effort to celebrate each and everyone’s bday with serious effort
except yours.
to me. i haven told anyone from the clique about this but i feel damn smljwtf about it.
i’m expected to chip in for the bday etc etc etc.
but no one remembers my bday. honestly i dun even need a celebration. not even a greeting?
and i’m expected to chip in in their birthdays?
i dunno, am i selfish? am i petty or is there really something wrong?
and dont.
dont say it’s cause i dun appear much or wads not.
in the first place no one really does care about my bday
so now i feel like i’m a filler to let the presents be cheaper or sorts.
call me a selfish bastard i dun care.
call me an attention seeker who failed to even get any bday greetings.
but i’m pissed and trying to act like i dun feel anything about it.
to my dear friends who remember my bday and even celebrate with me (including ah hock ok)
a huge thanks to you guys.
i just wanna say, i’m not wanting or begging for a celebration or a greeting from them. even if they come now they dun mean anything like hell.
i just felt unfair, for years and i think i should blog it out b4 i explode.
a taiwanese made movie that has broken alot of box office records
supposed to watch with stan ken jer
interestingly NONE of them turned up. but not a bad thing, i enjoyed the movie myself.
this movie is slightly more than 2 hours
i see people in edmw commenting that it’s too slow paced and draggy
i personally find the pace very soothing and comfy
it takes its own time to tell this love story that happened 60 years ago which slowly becomes parallel to that of the main characters.
to me the letters in the movie were so nicely written i actually shed a tear towards the end of the show.
the soundtrack isnt spectacular but it warms my heart.
if you are into romance and want to enjoy a simple story told in a… heartfelt way
this is definitely one good movie.
i started working again
pay’s honestly not alot
but i get to learn wad i wanna learn which is definitely a good thing.
i feel like i have alot to say…….. let’s see…
yesterday i meet with the usual gang for mind cafe
on the way up to plaza sing, i past by u. but i nvr notice at all.
it’s only until stan and ken told me.
i thought such thing can only happen on movies but i’m wrong.
life… is unique. lol. you’ve become so distant i only remembered the you with light blue jacket and tinted neck-length hair.
and so i visited your blog and saw ur photo, and realised the hairstyle you have now is the hairstyle i’ve been drawing on girls every now and then.
well LOL it’s nothing special since this hairstyle is so common.
sometimes when i’m about to sleep, i fall on my bed. your name comes to my mind, but there’s no memories of you. nothing else. just ur name that comes out of nowhere.
and so as i was saying, i visited your blog. i looked at your photo, i used to fret when i see you so happy since i wasnt receiving any happiness from you.
but this time i smiled, i have no idea why. but i guess i have let it go totally. just a lil harmless fragment of you.
i learnt alot. so anyway. even if u might nvr be reading my blog, my best wishes for you in whatever you do.
i guess watching this movie has made my thoughts flow better. it’s a comfortable feeling
Alright just when i was about to slp i listened to vanilla salt and i’m more energetic now

END
alright taggers, please do not follow the bad example which i did.
tension between my sis and i is really getting to me.
but i’m glad i didnt do anything stupid like resort to violence, which i almost wanted to
i controlled myself.
dun really feel like typing down what happened
just tired.
and disappointed.
i just wanna say, i dun think i’m a bad brother.
nor am i a bad family member.
all i want is peace and the sense of belonging.
they have to be taken away, and now taken away by my dear sister.
ironic.
let’s hope things will become better.
let’s hope i can find a good way to settle this.
enough on negative stuff.
i’ve gone back to drawing for about 1.5 months.
i can see the difference. the improvement.
and encouragement. from?
artists’ works.
some artists i admire, and i look at their old works. it goes to show.
alot of times it’s not just about talent. it’s just hardwork and hardwork.
and so i’ve been dilligently trying to learn and absorb back wad i need do.
perspective drawing, tonal values, illustration, lineart, coloring
everything.
and why i started drawing? because wad inspired me to draw from the start has inspired me again.
anime.
alright.
i’m getting damn sleepy which is a good thing.
i’m sleeping earlier and earlier as i observe.
