Its officially 1 more year to my ORD date! Happy daaze...

gotta keep my skills sharp

Haven't designed something in some time. Hope this does my skillz a bit of justice xD. Yesterday I tried to go down to queenstown to get my shirt printed. Too bad it was too expensive to print just one shirt. Ended up just putting it on threadless.com see if anyone likes it. Maybe can make a buck or two off it c:

This was made in China xD. Had no idea how to post process it up till just yesterday. Still kinda pixelated when you squint, but its the best i can do with this one :/

Forever embedded in this photo are the several misadventures I go on with MRQUINN - friend of close to 7 years

Remember the broken mirror, Quinn?
I need to get some of these photos printed and mounted on my wall hahha

Good times really aren't forever. I mean it sounds really common sensical but I think sometimes we get too caught up worrying when its going to end and stop enjoying it at all.

I'm going to remember all of this and hold it close to my chest so that in tough times I'll slip it out to have a look at it. Warm fuzzy feeling c:

life doesn't last long. good times don't last that long either. enjoy it :D

with these guys

If there was one negative word to describe fieldcamp, it would be that it was extremely extremely "INCONVENIENT". So many restrictions imposed while staying outfield... sigh, kinda glad its over.

BUT on the other hand, there were so many experiences I doubt I'd ever have again.

from my dear sis c;

from my dad who had to rush off to Korea for a business trip but managed to write a nice long essay before he left :)

mom and younger sis :D

:D these letters were passed to us during a low point in fieldcamp. I can say it changed me a bit. Cliche? You tell me.

Life's good. And I know it. I'm ready for more.

Quinn went in today. Anxiety is building c:

Azmi your long post... in a few days xD

Labels: picture

Its days like these that make me feel like all the bad days i wait through are really really worth it :)

in game terms, i think i leveled up several times today. won over some lost friends i guess. haha its bad to think of them as assets but its easier to represent what i feel right now this way. in other words i feel like i reconciled my past actions. relieve myself from guilt i guess?

love it <3

olaaaah peeeeps

back from KOREAAAA. Skiing was fun.

This particular trip: there was a lot of time for waiting. and not much else to do. so i spent a lot of the waiting time just thinking. About my relationships with people. About my place in this world i guess - and how my results will eventually play a role in it. I considered the importance of companionship - you know the kind - and also its trivial nature at this point.

My parents haven't been the easiest people to live with on this trip. :/ but ya know, when things aren't particularly fun, i try to make fun at least - and it did turn out quite enjoyable. Meh it had its highs and lows.

I'm not gonna lie: I'm scared shitless of my results being poorer than i expect. But what's done is done.

lol i looked at a convo history file quinn sent me and i'm super embarrassed that i was being such a dramaqueen (almost typed dramaquinn hahaha). Am i still like that? Hope not hahahahaha. I think back to recent events and it sure feels like i'm still like that hahahaaahaaaa. meeeehhhhhhhhh. i'm an emotional guy; whaddaya want from me. Anyways i need to thank quinn for showing it to me - remind myself not to be like that too often :/

Happy new year everyone!

hahahaaaa i've been here before i know. but i think its getting serious. my interactions with people i don't know yet is frick shoddy. so to improve i will start by thinking of actions i can consciously use to "imrpove" my interactions; try try try. if its wrong/awkward i better see some shit on my tagboard or else you, my friends will be forever responsible for my future awkward relationships HAHAHAHAHA no la. I realise that when i know people beyond a certain extent my words start sounding a bit spiteful. Then people need to be a bit more tolerant to get to know me. I guess most people don't succeed at tolerating my temperament so i need to tone it down a little? HAHAHA During Y camp right this comm member wanted to borrow my camera and the first thing i told her was "if you drop it, i'll kill you". was supposed to sound jovial but came out otherwise HAHAHAHAHA.

Anyway, here's the how-to list.

1. When i meet someone i'll greet them by their name (I tend not to greet ppl by name) and if i haven't seen them in a while i'll say, "how are you (man)?" or "eh how are you, (man)?" to make it more appropriate for casual conversation.
2. Do not be a wise-ass/asshole.
3. No handshakes. HAHAHAHA unless they initiated it.
4. *what else help me out here, and don't say "it comes naturally" because to me acting naturally results in a very unpleasant "neutral" approach which strangely doesn't have a very neutral effect*

went with q to labrador park the other day. got this. needs a subj badly. i need it...

HANDSHAKES reminds me of this time one of the staff at YMCA wanted to shake my hand right after i've been taking photos for a good half-hour and my right hand was all sweaty. The first thing i did was to inspect my sweaty hand (while the lady was standing there with a her hand outstretched) then it just began to get awkward and my reflex took over to avoid the awkwardness and i went ahead to shake her hand anyway with a sweaty freakin hand. Then i realised "oh frick i stained her hand with my sweat" but it was too late HAHAHA, i then proceeded to wipe my sweaty hand on my jeans while the lady was still standing there.

here's the photo for you quinn c:

New blogskin! Right? Right? Hahaha. I hope its an upgrade from the previous skin.

I know - "your face, damien, its in the banner! Vain much?"

Then i'll say, "whatevs maaan. i was inspired for a splitsecond and i gobbled it up and spat it back out in code and pictures. Deal with it."

Besides that, anything about the aesthetic quality of this thing feel free to voice out - in fact you're obliged to criticize it and i insist that you do.

In other news, ytd i went to changi for breakfast... maybe lunch. Prolly brunch. While my mom spent 1 hour queuing for the supposedly ghost related Nasi Lemak, I took pictures of cute widdle cats wandering around.

cute widdle cat :3
