Although i'm not much of a gaming person, but i remembered the nites where i watched my girlfriend played her RPG games on the playstation2!!! and perfectionista me would make her collect all the treasures, weapons and duel enough to get experience!!! and we spent nites not sleeping just to go from stage to stage! and i even go online to check the cheats!!! hahaha....
now i have to design a game environment for a presentation! imagine that!
it was a really overloaded 3 weeks! starting from texturing, learning the metrics of a game engine, putting lights and playmodes, and from physics volume to teleporting down to matinee, next it was sound recording on the DAT at 18bit, mono , 44.1k???? next was to digitise it,then back to 3dmax to create a form afterwhich export as .ase files to unREAL and then terrain editting!!! in short.
and i still have work to do on my studio and prof prac....
phew!
~really tired.

technology makes us and breaks us.
i rushed back to the apt after lecture only to find out that i can't access to the internet! no downloading of lecture notes, no emails, no msn, no blogs, no skype, no jie.... no connection to any parts of the world.
suddenly,
i realised how much my life has revolved around the internet.

Invisible Cities~italo calvino
Cities & Desires . 2
At the end of three days, moving southward, you come upon Anastasia, a city with concentric canals watering it and kites flying over it. I should now list the wares that can profitably be bought here: agate, onyx, chrysoprase, and other varieties of chalcedony; I should praise the flesh of the golden pheasant cooked here over fires of seasoned cherry wood and sprinkled with much sweet marjoram; and tell of the women I have seen bathing in the pool of a garden and who sometimes - it is said - invite the stranger to disrobe wiht them and chase them in the water. But with all this, I would not be telling you the city's true essence; for while the description of Anastasia awakens desires one at a time only to force you to stifle them, when you are in the heart of Anastasia one morning your desires waken all at once and surround you. The city appears to you as a whole where no desire is lost and of which you are a part, and since it enjoys everything you do not enjoy, you can do nothing but inhabit this desire and be content. Such is the power, sometimes called malignant, sometimes benign, that Anastasia, the treacherous city, possesses; if for eight hours a day you work as cutter of agate, onyx, chrysoprase, your labour which gives form to desire takes from desire its form, and you believe you are enjoying Anastasia wholly when you are only its slave.
i believe you are enjoying architecture wholly when you are only its slave. ~pinkitectura

some people just think they know it all
some things back home can be done in 3 days,
we thot it will be the same here.
esp with a referral letter to make things easier.
no.
it was not.
not many knew.
even close ones too.
how can u know wat is happening?
when u dun even know?
when u are not even here?
pictures of my blog do not show the pain that i have.
is it necessary to remember these scars?
do i have to openingly share my trauma
which i bear those nites?
then u will believe.
then u will come to understand.
wat u see is the surface.
instead of wallowing in pain, i choose to go out into the sun with my love one.
we told u the truth which u chose not to believe.
ask yourself.
what do u know.

MOOMBA festival@Yarra River
the most beautiful stars that nite!
9pm: the fireworks started!
935pm: all of us reached the yarra river...
9pm: the fireworks started!
935pm: all of us reached the yarra river...
ooohhhhhsss...wah......*clap clap clap* it was such an eventful nite, the game stalls stretched the whole of yarra river! there were so many people! GOSH! so many lights, so many kermits, nemos, carebears, scooby doos, dinos....
there were so many couples...holding hands, the girls smiling smugly at their bf's win. oh how i want a big big carebear too! the yellow one with the flowers on it's tummy...flashback...eons ago, back at toy'R'us...i was so tempted to buy the pink carebear..but until today i still haven gotten it...maybe someday i will go back there and claim it for my own. Self satisfaction.
the nite was warm. the stroll at the beginning was tight and tideous, but after awhile it got looser. the crowd was dispersing. the people were leaving.
we were leaving.
