YAY! Tried out a really really simple "project" today and it worked!
I think I'm awesome. Haha, especially when I really really am hopeless in that area of expertise + I have no freaking idea how to use softwares related to that area, what's more a Mac version of it.
It's amazing how I got through it! YAY YAY YAY! :D
Wanna know what is it? Heh. Well, I'm good in photography, I read up a lot on it, I practice a lot. But one thing I have absolutely NO IDEA how to operate are things related to video. I never EVER pulled off being able to operate on a video editing software. Okay, I did but that was in sec1-2. I'm awesome xD
Did a really simple project and it worked out great (for a beginner okay!). Will upload it tomorrow night after the boy sees it. Heh. Already let my mum see it and she thought it was done by him cause I think she knows I totally can't make it for video stuff somehow.
Oh, photos of me and clem when we went to catch a movie! :D

I'm going to start on a new project! Heh. If I manage to complete this project and it's successful, it's going to boost my portfolio quite a lot. Going to start small first then the final big project will be with ZJ all around Singapore. Fun!
Went out with Clement yesterday for a movie at Vivo. Watched Nodame Cantabile (Finale). Have no idea what it is cause I didn't even watch the first one -.- But still thank goodness it was rather interesting cause it was about music (piano especially). Visual effects were kinda lame though. I mean, in anime it's okay but real life? Kinda dumb.
And I finally got a proper mousepad. No more using cardboard already xD But I think I need to get some sort of 'base' to put under my keyboard. My table's somewhat not straight so when I type, the left of the keyboard keeps going down and up and down and up. Damn irritating. Now I'm using a notebook to balance it out properly.
I'm so sleepy. I'm like catching up with all my lost sleep since I don't know when. Feel so tired right now. Ohwells, going to go out soon for awhile.
Sian. I'm even too tired to think about how to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. 2 years. Omg. This really is amazing in my standards. HAHA.

Gave up trying to find the cracked version of Photoshop for Mac. Think I'll just go buy the software though it's freakingly expensive.
I'm finally done with the photos I took from the Malaysia trip.
Here are the photos I took during our kite-flying session on Saturday. It really pays to go early cause there was strong winds, not much sun and empty space with no kites. Totally love it :D

Today's been really tiring.
Baby stayed over at my house after dismissing from camp at about 10pm?
Woke up at 5am today to get ready to head down to Marina Barrage.
Well, nothing special really, nice view and such but still, so-so. Do really wanna see the Helix thingo at night though. Seen pictures of it and it looks awesome.
Went to fly kite. Really damn fun but handling the stunt kite was hard.
End of the day, still unable to handle the stunt kite. Heh.
Joel came to find us about 11am, then we headed for lunch.
Whole day we got lost TWICE -.- 2nd time full credit to Joel really.
HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY: Joel and I decided 'What-the-heck' and took the plunge to the FISH SPA! & yea, we dragged Eug along with us. I've some super hilarious videos in my phone and some photos. Will upload it soon. Somehow, after the fishie thing, I have this huge and long bruise on my leg. VERY WEIRD cause I never knocked into anything today. Pfft.
Headed to Marina Square to watch "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and it's one helluva show.
Really MUST WATCH. Totally loved the show even though the lead actor wasn't exactly cute/hot but he's definitely funny enough to love him :D
After that said byebye to Joel and headed home to cook dinner.
Photos up soon, esp the videos :D HEHE.

I've always been living this lie that I've had a closure finally, to make things okay, to make things work out.
But like they say, you can lie to the whole world but you can never lie to yourself.
Somehow I still feel for the song cause that's the one song that can bring back the tears in my eyes and memories flooding back.
The boy told me last night that it takes twice the number of years spent together to let go of someone.
Does that mean it'd take me 6 years to let go of everything? =/
Shit, I'm getting emotional again. I love this song yet I hate it cause it makes me cry each time I hear it.
Think I'll go back to editing photos.

Finally decided to blog. Been so damn tired these few days.
Well the trip was kinda fun even though I didn't have anyone to talk to most of the time and I sit alone most of the time -.- Plus like I'm (supposed to) sleep alone for the 3 nights.
Well 1st night I slept alone at Ipoh, but the 2nd and 3rd night at Cameron Highlands I slept with my parents, leaving my room empty cause I was so freaked out.
1) My tap makes a high pitched sound each time I use it.
2) I nearly died in the bathroom when I slipped on the bathtub cause the management's so frigging stingy they don't even provide the bathroom mat NOR bedroom slippers.
3) My mirror has this face like shape on it that wouldn't fog no matter what after a shower with hot water.
4) My little ooah (a little monkey toy that I have that has both a recording voice button and a playback function) who hasn't been able to 'talk' for almost a year just started playing back the last recorded voice out of nowhere when I was in the toilet with it. Freaky as it was, the last recorded word was 'HELLO'. Oh, and when I tried pressing the playback button after that, it didn't work at all.
So yeah, I went to my parent's room to sleep cause hooboy I trust my 6th sense a lot okay. & boy was I glad I did. According to my dad who went to use the toilet on the last day there, the lights and fan were still on and turning even without the room card key in the slot for electricity. Spooky yes? Plus he even went back there twice and both times, they were still on.
Other than the freaky hotel part, the trip went pretty well.
Still can't upload the photos I've taken yet cause I still don't have my photoshop in my Mac yet.
I'm now rotting at home with nothing to do. Just catching up on my sleep.
Well, hopefully this week I can go to register for BTT and the next week head out with Clement.
Going to sleep again. Really sleepy Z_z

Heading to M'sia tomorrow morning. Frigging early about 5plus in the morning? ):
Going to miss the boy when I'm there cause it means 4 days of no sms-ing & calling and 1 week of not seeing him and 10 days before I can go out with him again. I seriously don't cope well not contacting the boy at all.
Now I'm pretty used to not seeing him every day (unlike in school) but I'm still not used about the not contacting part. Last year his Korea trip and my HongKong trip nearly killed me. It was uber long and torturous.
Well will be back on Sunday late night =/ Hope everything works out well. Wish baby wasn't in army though. My bro can't make it for the trip so there's this empty spot (already paid) & my mum asked if baby could go, but sadly, there's army. Sucks. I'm going to have the whole room to myself. Freaks me out. I'm going to leave all lights on when I sleep. Gah.
Anyway here's the itinerary, pretty much all nature stuff. Hopefully I get good shots there. Would do me a great deal. I love landscape shots. Still, wish baby could have come with me.

Bones is really a good show to watch. Plus somehow I don't know why, it feels like I've watched a few episodes before. Like maybe 1 or 2? I could 'foretell' what was going to happen in a certain episode even before it happened. Weird. Somehow it's in my memory and it seemed like a really long time ago? Which is possible considering that I haven't watched TV in years. Don't really have the habit of watching TV. But I wouldn't mind if it was cartoon network :D
Friday night talked to FC over the phone till 2am and I was up at 6am on Saturday. Geez. Damn tired I tell you. Headed to meet baby for breakfast cause he just booked out. Went to Art Friend to get some materials and went home. I still wanna fly kite though =/
Today baby came early, had breakfast and now he's sleeping like a pig on my bed. Ohwells. I'm really bored at home. Heading over to M'sia next week. Sucks. Means that I won't even get to spend the weekend with him.
Damn, I'm sleepy too. Shall go watch Bones now since my whole bed is practically 'taken over' by the boy.

As usual, rotting at home with nothing to do. I've some great plans I wanna try out but seriously with photoshop I can't do nuts.
On the other hand, started watching 'Bones' so yea, I'm pretty much occupied now though I still wanna design the ideas I have and see how it turns out to be. Cause I can't draw for nuts but I can most certainly use the computer to draw for me :D
Tons of things to do this weekend though. Seriously just wish baby could have more than just the weekends off. But ohwells, army...Tsk.
& well, since my bro was back from his 2 months stay in the States, astronaut food for you.

I nearly crashed into the pole while trying to take this picture -.-
Cause I was squatting and balancing on my toes (due to my knee problem) and the train suddenly moved faster. Zz.
But I'm pretty glad it turned out quite nice :D
You know when you're home you think of tons of things. How your life has been, what have you been doing in life, who deserves to be part of your life, etc.
I've been thinking so much it's driving me nuts. And I'm glad for the talk I had with FC. Cause somehow it just took my mind off things and we talked about nonsense things (as usual) for 1.5hours. We haven't talked for this long for a really long time already so it felt nice somewhat to finally be able to hold such a long conversation with someone over the phone other than the boy.
I'm not wallowing in self-pity or what but I haven't been in the best mood for the past few months. The past few weeks have been spent locked up in my room, not talking to anyone and just leaving my room to go for a run, practice piano, bring my meals to my room and go to toilet. Seriously, the number of words that comes out from my mouth each day (other than talking to the boy) is about 0-10. That's how bad it is. Like even though my brother came home on Friday (I think?), I haven't even spoken a single word to him, not even a 'Hi'.
The only life-saver is when the boy comes over during night's out/book out. That's almost the only time I actually talk to someone face to face/leave my room. Sounds pathetic yes? I guess everyone has their own ways of dealing with setbacks and mine is just to cut myself away from everyone else. I mean, even the boy doesn't know what I'm going through and I'll admit, sometimes it gets irritating cause he thinks that I'm just being a bitch despite me telling him tons of times I'm really not in the best moods these days.
Songs always have a link to day, moment, time, etc, basically short periods. Mine's like months or even A YEAR -.- Geez.
Plus no photoshop = making me feel worse. Zz.
Well, I'm going back to stonning now. Once again, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO ON MY MAC. Ironically, the reason I got a Mac is to do design stuff. Ohwells.

It still sucks still not being able to use photoshop. I have tons of photos that need editing but I can't do shit =/ Am using the iPhoto in Mac but the options I have is really limited. Gah. It's really true that when they say once you use photoshop, you never want to use any other photo-editing programme anymore cause it's really the best out there. Sucks to the max.
Well, just gotta make do with the current programme I have now I guess. & gotta make do with the photos for now. Haha.
Weekends always pass by so fast while weekdays are a drag for me. Geez. Photoshop is suppose to make me be occupied but somehow I can't seem to install it. Gah.
Anyway, pictures when my Mac arrived! :D
When the box first came! :D
In the cardboard box! -heart melts- Super exciting I tell you.
YAY! It's really huge.
But it's extremely slim. Considering that I never bothered to follow up on Macs before, I never knew a desktop could exist without an external CPU. I know it sounds dumb but really, the last time I used a desktop at home was about maybe 10 years ago?
Slim wireless mouse. I'm so scared I scratch it, dirty it or something =/
On our 23rd monthsary (: (Mixture of DSLR and my baby cam photos, thus the blur-ness in a few of 'em)
Found this photo really cute cause the boy was being irritating and kept looking in the other direction (refusing to look at the camera).
Well that's all for now. I really wanna get a photoshop software for my Mac ASAP cause editing photos on my baby lappy (though I'm quite used to it already) it's really tiring.

HAPPY 23RD MONTHSARY BABY! (:
Though our elaborate full-day plan didn't work out as expected cause of your "confinement", I'm still thankful for the time I get to spend with you on this special day. It's been way long since we celebrated together on the actual day itself.
& though we have been getting into stupid quarrels lately, really stupid ones actually, heh, it was fun wasn't it? With you and your other split personalities =P
I love you (:
Well, today baby and I went out. We actually had a whole day's worth of activities planned out but we didn't follow it much. We still kept to our Sakae Sushi lunch but it was more of brunch.
Didn't manage to go to Bras Basah nor Marina Barrage cause it was raining. Cancelled our late-night out at Esplanade cause we went to celebrate my mum's birthday down at Chinatown. Still, a happy day :D
Went to eat at the Mouth's Restaurant (is it even spelt like this?!) and somehow that restaurant always makes us wind up eating too full. The last time I went, my parents brought me and Clement along for dim sun breakfast or something, winded up with Clement being uber bloated. Same goes for Eugene, he was half-dying of full-ness after dinner. Haha.
& Well, I have decided on the general path I should take in life but for the specifics, not yet.
Still I'm pretty happy with my life right now. Though cash-flow is a problem cause I'm not working NOR getting any allowance, I'm still rather satisfied with life now. I mean, it's all right for us to take a step back, relax and observe as life goes on, once in awhile right?
On another note, MAC IS SUPER HARD TO USE DAMMIT. Gosh, I'm really going to die trying how to figure out how to use it. Zz.

Thank goodness for my guy friends esp best friend who is all the way in Australia.
I was feeling lost again last night, felt totally useless and wanted to give up.
Kenneth and Aks pulled me right back up and onto my feet again.
They told me not to give up and like what Kenneth says 'There are always choices'
Well true. There are always choice but it's making the right choice that is the hardest part.
I want to get my life back on track, piece every thing back together and move on.
But there's always the fear of making the wrong choice again. I've made 3 major wrong choices in my life that has made a complete mess out of my life. I don't want to make anymore wrong choices that's going to screw me up even more.
I'm going to be brave, move on and still, be brave. Damn, that's hard.
And I can tell when I'm emotionally unstable. I tend to look for things to buy, A LOT.
& Thank goodness the only thing that's stopping me from buying anything is the idea of 'I'm not working anymore'.
Plus I've been pretty thrifty these few months. Haven't bought anything for a really long time.
No camera equipment, no clothes, no shoes, no unnecessary accessories (I needed ear sticks)...basically nothing that I WANT but do not NEED. Quite proud of myself :D

Well well, army life it is.
The boy has confinement so that means my plans for Saturday has to change already cause he can't book out on Friday.
Oh well.
Yawns. I'm so proud of myself. Today is a really nice weather to sleep in/take a nap and I didn't! :D

I know this is going to sound really dumb but...
My Mac is really boring -.-
I mean, okay, if I have the Photoshop download version for Mac, it wouldn't be this boring already.
Or maybe some games? At least my laptop had minesweeper; solitaire; hearts; etc.
Mac? Chess.
A game which I never ever completed before, which I never remembered how to position the figurines, and basically a game I really sucked at.
Plus point, I get to watch my videos in a much bigger screen.
& it's not lag like my small lappy.
Minus point, I don't know a single shit about Mac.
I wanted to get a Mac was only for one reason, well two actually.
One: Bigger screen (you should really see my baby lappy)
Two: It's best for photo-editing, designing, etc.
Can't wait for the weekends to come so baby can help me download the necessary softwares for me cause I have no frigging idea how to download softwares that need to be cracked. Normal softwares, files, etc, I know. Those that need cracking or keygen (is this the word?), I have no idea.
& I wanted to go swimming so that I wouldn't be so bored. And just as luck would have it, it just had to rain. Now there's no more sun, there's still thunder, and I bet the pool water is freezing.
On the bright side, I can't wait for this weekend. 23rd monthsary! :D
And boy are we going out early.
Have you ever been on a date at 6.30am before (school ain't counted)? :D
Time: 2:49 PM
