I think I’m developing a dislike for Facebook. It feels like everyone is either asking me whether I have Facebook or telling me to use it. But the thing I really dislike about it is how some people use it as an excuse to “forget” how to communicate with me. “Oh, you didn’t know about this-and-that event? How come?” At this point, the person usually suddenly recalls that I don’t really use it much and says, “AIYO, you should use Facebook la!!” Another variant would be: “Eh? Haven’t you seen the photos? I put them up on Facebook. Aiyaaaaa, use Facebook la!” I’m not saying it’s not a good system. But it’s not the only way to keep in touch, is there? If I was the type who never went online, hardly checked e-mails and such, then yes, that might be a good excuse. But – but… I am perpetually online – on Yahoo!Messenger, MSN – and I have automated alerts for my major e-mails under Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail (which can be kind of tiresome if the e-mails are just forwarded stuff and random things that aren’t important, but I keep the alerts on anyway). Also, I have a phone that is functioning just fine. Even with all this… It seems that not using Facebook regularly is a reason to be “forgotten.” It’s one thing if it’s acquaintances that I’m not close to. But when even some of my good friends seem to be “forgetting” me just because I don’t really bother with this thing called Facebook… It really rankles. Bah. When did social networking sites like that nullify (is that the right word to use? haha) all other methods of communication?
I’m not sure why, but I just like drawing random trees a lot these days. hahahah
(Got a bit lazy on the background… ^^) I still haven’t found out how to and if I can get custom fields to work on this Wordpress theme. Anyway! An animated movies meme that I swiped from a friend’s blog. ***** “X” what you’ve seen, “O” what you haven’t finished but saw sizeable portions of, leave blank what you haven’t seen at all. Bold what you loved and strike through what you didn’t like. - what I’ve seen And I’ll add comments here and there about the movies if I feel like it. hehe Let’s begin~ . Classic Disney 101 Dalmatians (1961) – “Cruella de Vil, Cruella de Vil, if she doesn’t scare you, no evil thing will…” Such a very catchy villain’s song. 8D Continue reading “Animated Movies Meme – What Have You Seen?”… So I’ve finally changed my layout! 8D (Out of necessity, though, because I couldn’t figure out what went wrong with the links section on my previous layaout. Sigh.)
Anyway, I may be tweaking this further over the next few days so don’t be surprised if things change. ^^ Now, how do I get custom fields to work in this theme… *goes to look for a solution* … because Up isn’t showing here until August. August. AUGUST. WHY, GSC, WHY?? Why do you delay a splendidly-reviewed film like Pixar’s Up and decide to screen something like that generally got so-so reviews like Monsters vs Aliens instead this month?! And even if you did have to delay it, why until August?! Argh. . And they ask why we resort to bootleg versions? . Just because last night at midnight I suddenly felt like drawing a random sparkly, flouncy ballgown.
. I haven’t posted much lately… so let me make up for it by flooding this post with pictures.
This is where I ran off to for Labour Day with Su Chen, Joash, Kuong Lim and Adrian. Monkey Beach, a.k.a. Teluk Duyung. (Someone tell me why the English name and Malay name are so different..? I mean, “Mermaid Bay” is totally different from “Monkey Beach. hahah) I deprived myself of my computer a couple of weeks ago by stupidly trying to reformat it on my own and not realising that (1) my installer was basically a goner already and (2) my primary hard disk already had internal problems. So, long story short, I was computer-less for two weeks except at work and when I could use Mum’s or Dad’s laptops at home. Do you know how much missed using Photoshop?? hahah Thus, to celebrate the return of my computer, a random something:
Other bits of news: - Took IELTS yesterday, and joke of jokes, my speaking test examiner was my Form 4 English teacher (also my favourite English teacher. ahaha) - I don’t like YM 9.0 as much as the old one. Sigh. However, Windows Live Messenger looks distinctly better than the previous version. - Went to the PC Fair last weekend with Hui Jen, Hooi San and Kah Wei. Took Yan along. I spent about RM800. @_@ Mostly on stuff that’s not mine (like two external [notebook] hard disks for Yan and Ming). The only thing I bought for myself was a 1TB external that I’ve named Edhelharn. - Have you watched Talentime? If you’re Malaysian and you haven’t… YOU SHOULD HAVE. Yasmin Ahmad’s shows are incredible. I really do think she’s the best Malaysian filmmaker right now.
I just felt like sketching in the office… and since I basically only have a very limited range of coloured pens in the office, I somehow ended up sketching Bleach. Rukia from Bleach anyway.
Anatomy’s off in more ways than one and it’s rough but hey, I wasn’t looking for perfection. I just needed to draw something all of a sudden. hahah! And sode no shirayuki was what came to mind (although Rukia has hardly appeared in recent chapters, much less with her shikai out). (At this rate, I should probably add a category called “Weddings” to my category list. hahaha) So I was in KL for the weekend because of yet another wedding – this time John and Mei Sin’s. But… I failed to take many photos. Gah. Partly because my camera doesn’t do so well indoors without flash and partly because there were far less people for me to take photos with.
