when i saw you that day i knew that you were lost.

you're someone else's drummer boy now, aren't you.


may you be loved.

where teabags go to die

"Where do tea bags go to die? Usually squashed on the side of the saucer next to the cup, or if you have a little less decorum the table will probably be just fine. Jonas Trampedach has been observing the behaviour of tea drinkers and has evidently been learning a lot. Consequently he has developed a solution to the bag dilemma that is as simple as it is ingenious. With the ‘Tea bag Coffin’, the drinker can tidily bury the bag under the cup and out of the way. RIP."

yes i love my tea.

i like this:
Such Great Heights by the Postal Service.

cold and mechanical, yet deeply romantic at the same time. the human touch. im glad whoever made this didnt resort to the cliched visual imagery of stars and galaxies.
i dont know why i never thought of looking for Postal Service music videos before.


currently bopping along to tracks from the Chemical Brothers.

我并不讨厌幼稚的人,

至少他们对任何事物都还抱着新鲜感和可爱的丰富想象力.

cried over a broken heart.

somehow at times like these it seems all so clear the person that i am, that others and myself might like me for. what they are, and what i love them for.
like a reassuring encounter with a fairy godmother, of sorts.

it'll all be okay with time.


and the stars seem to say: of course, we've seen all these before.

before today,

Finding Neverland
The Science of Sleep
Waiting For Gordot
Persona
Everything Is Illuminated
Cape No. 7

i've watched 6 films in 4 days! makes me feel so unproductive today and makes me feel like a super movie junkie. feels good. and i dont believe that we cant find some proper entertainment now that the exams are over!

superrrrr looking forward to sun sand and sea at sentosa tomorrow, and dinner with my sis for the first time in the longest while.

maybe i should just watch pan's labyrinth now with xinni just to keep the list of movies rolling, eh. lol.

so simple

its a haiku!

All I want to be,
is someone that makes new things.
And thinks about them.

and everytime a child says "i don't believe in fairies"

there's a fairy somewhere that falls down dead



absolutely enchanting movie. magical and so endearing, all the little children, and the ones that live inside us.

not so sure about the trailer, though.

when chionging for 4D final prog the next day

on wed night. or more accurately, thursday morning.

beauty is all around, even in contrived old boring ntu. we should just always be in the right state of mind to see it.

unedited, bitch.



more running around in the wee hours of the morning.










the ghosts of us.
last one is raw image for my 4D vid.

its great to wait for,

or come back to everyday, a roomie and friend that you've known so long, and are going through the same things with.

we are absolutely comfortable with each other, and its amazing.

almost as fascinating as the view from adm rooftop, when we lie on our backs and breathe in the stars and clear sky.

"i think you're starting to to retreat into yourself a little too much, dont you think?"

"..."

"shouldn't you start opening yourself up to others more if you want friends?"

"..."

"what are you afraid of?"

"..."

"what else have you to lose?"

"..."

"are you going to shut me out too?"

"..."

"if you are, then you don't need me, so i shall leave."

"..."

"im really leaving, aren't you going to stop me?"

DAYTUM BETA INVITATION

i just got my invitation to be a beta tester on DAYTUM, which is totally rad, cos now i can count every random detail in my life, and display it all with cool typography and graphs!
such a simple idea, yet so endearing! brilliant.

its interesting looking through what other pple bother to count in their daily lives. im thinking up some stuff too. maybe the number of cats or number of red balloons each day or something. or the number of times i hear the word "tactile" or "ungerzeifer" or "abstract" or "cui" in a day. or the number of times i wished for something. or the number of times i burst out in song unknowingly.

UBER COOL =DDD


here it is: NIHILISTASPHALT'S DAYTUM

if any of you guys get it too, tell me, and we can exchange stats! ahaha. my kind of fun.



on another note. i think im having a infection on my mosquito bites or something! they are swelling and hardening up until they look nothing like bites. think i might go to the doctor's tml morning.

so gross!

唯一色彩

this was my favourite movie, and this was my favourite song for quite some time.

used to think aaron kwok was so cute in this show!

i love how silly this whole thing is, they crash their cars and suddenly everyone is a dancer.

i just woke up

in my dream i felt so intense my love for you that the moments when i stir awake are filled with extreme sadness at the loss into reality.

a love so strong that i scare myself with the possibility that i might have said out your name in my sleep.

a sadness so great i wake up in tears, wanting to hold you close.

so real that im stunned, finding distinction.

a scary feeling, this.

maybe this is a sign that im not loving the pple i care about enough.

went to an animation seminar with rfan yesterday,

featuring koji yamamura. quite inspiring, watching the techniques he used and the way he does things! worth the 7 bucks cookie and muffin from novella. here are some of his better(says rfan and me) work on youtube, nothing compared to it on big screen definitely.

Mt. Head

and some part of

Kafka's A Country Doctor

some people were visibly not impressed though. oh well. good thing i went along.
