hehe

I learnt something yesterday.

Art is ... creepy.

R I and me went to the er .. arts Bienxxxx thing.. (I don't know how to spell that kind of non words) @ the old Supreme Court. (Not before having a really nice lunch at Sushi Tei *cough cough* .. yum)

The haze was damn bad then.


Look at the freaking haze! ZOMG.
pfft

Well we finally reached the Courts and, 5$ lighter (for me), we all went in. The first exhibit we went to was inside this big, nice darkened hall. Nice cold aircon .... The moment we stepped in, we were assailed with the sound of a plane engine. On both sides of the room were huge screens .. each showing an aircraft's wing (like when you take a flight and look out of your window). Clouds float serenely by .. all nicely computer generated.

It's a little dark .. you know, the darkened room bit.


It's all nice and impressive (the sound and especially the nice aircon) .. Only problem is ....... What's the point? It's called "Departure" .. well .. I see a plane wing .... I see 2 plane wings ..... .. mm .erm .......and..?

You're telling me someone is paying $XX / hour, powering the aircon, the sound, the projectors ... for this.

So anyways we muve around the place, looking at .. things .. Some of the pieces are really creepy. Here's one which was abit doh! When we first saw it.


That's ... art? mmm well .. *cough cough* Belljars with Chucky? mmmm I guess the wood panelling looks kind of nice.

We came across another piece of crappy creepy art too .. It was inside a courtroom, with a bunch of laptops placed randomly on the bench like tables. However instead of the keyboard being at the base .. they were all flipped so that their lcds were the base. And each lcd showed a grainy picture of those dead dudes on those tombstones. Soft gramophone music playing in the background .. that type of 如果没有你。。。日子这么过 type of music. That .. is downright creepy.

Yet another creepy one .. we enter a room .. it's all empty, save for a table with flags in front (like those UN meetings), and there was this sound of laughter .... loud uproarish laughter ........... Frankly, if I were to enter an empty room and hear loud laughter like that ... I'm going to label it as creepy. We did have some fun there though, sitting on the chairs pretending to be the delegates.

Some pieces of art made some sense though .. there was this series of pictures with this dude holding the bible .. And one of them showed him with a Jesus puppet. I (not me!) was a little putoff by it .. although I think it's pretty true .. people are using Jesus as a means to get what they want. Jesus said "xyz!!!" Thou shalt all listen to me!!!

There were some interesting exhibits though .. there was one with a big projection of a US bill (100$ and 20$) and they had a litle figure muving around. Like for the 20$ one they had a dude muving around with a ladder wiping off the windows, and they integrated it in with the dollar bill.. so that it looks like it belongs there.

Sadly we didn't have enough time to finish looking at everything closely .. you know . time is of the essence .. and wandered back to the office by taxi around 4 =(

.. Still. ART IS CREEPY!!! zomg.

Realised I forgot to mention this the other day ..... =p So it's kinda a backtrack.

Had dinner with H on tues. Decided to go Crystal Jade (拉面 edition) .. well actually it was H .. I was trying to gently poke for the 澳门 edition but ... Admittedly I didn't poke too strongly cos I had lunch there the other day liao =p

So anyway, I leave the office, turn AutoPilot(tm) on and engage Cruise Mode. I'm a little late because I was waiting for this chick to finish using the toilet (we only have 1 toilet for everyone in this neck of the woods). Finally gave up waiting cos she took too long .. So I hurry down to Suntec, still on AP(tm). AP(tm) notices a Crystal Jade place, espies chairs outside (those you sit while waiting) and pull into the restaurant before I can do anything.

Me: 我在找人 *looking around*
Waitress: makes "是不是那位" sounds and gestures
Me: .. *senses something is wrong* *looks around ... Sensors detecting a disturbing lack in H's presence* Erm .... *and realises that the place is too posh looking from what I remember of the 拉面 edition*
Waitress2: *starting to approach*
Me: *time to start beating hasty retreat* 没关系，I'll call him *exeunt Restaurant* *hides in a corner and furiously calls H*

H: Yar?
Me: Where the hell are you!? (It's a pointless question actually cos I know where he's supposed to be .. the only problem is I temporarily forgot where I'm supposed to be)
H: I'm inside liao lah!
Me: Where's there!?! (Another silly question cos Suntec's foody place IS a blardy circle, but I needed to er .. .you know .. oh look! Pink poodle!)
H: Just follow the circle lah! .. Near that Aunt Annie's thing
Me: <_<>_> *goes the LONG way around and finds the 拉面 edition*

Me: 我在找人 *not really looking around anymore*
Waitress: 是个男生？
Me: Yeah
Waitress: *leads me around and I espy H*
Me: *shakes off the waitress and hurriest up to H*

H: So there you are, darling (well I can't remember what he said, just the word darling .. *koff*)
Me: ..
etc etc .. I can't remember everything now can I? =p

Anyways people who er .. know me know that I'm not a big fan of noodles .. I mean .. I eat noodles .. but .... mmm.....

Function jump: Buying noodles for parents
Me: So what you want?
P: Hei mee lah
Me: Ok. *hangs up and goes to stall*
Me: Hei mee 打包
Stallowner: You want Noodle A or Noodle B
Me: nani?! What noodle A noodle B?! *looks at mysterious flat noodle things and mysterious yellow noodle things * erm ........ erm .............. Wait huh
Me: *backs a hasty retreat to ring up HQ for clarification*

End Function

So anyways, at the 拉面 edition, I always skip past the 拉面 section in the menu (lolz wtb irony?) and look at the .. er . rice. Normally I tend to order this prawn fried rice thing .. (Cos it's nice .. .. totally ignore the fact that it's the only explicit rice thing that they have here). So I was thinking .. mm maybe try something new today. *looks around menu* .. mm Hey there's this dish called "Egg white with fish meat and scallops and rice"

When we placed our orders, I noticed the chinese text for the dish .. something about crabs no mention of fish .. But I thought .. well abit of crab nvm lah .. should still can eat

In the end .. when it came .. It was a plate of egg white, strings of crab meat, 4 broccolis and 1 egg yolk.

Where's the rice!? Gah! .. In the end had to ninja some of H's noodles to eat .. no way can eat 1 plate of egg yolk .. *koff koff*

Pfft. Note to self: In chinese restaurants, read the chinese instead of the english ..........
Yeah yeah I should have known that . but .. well .. meh!

URGH

....
Had a .. erm .. rather long lunch just now. Went to this Jap rest @ Bugs Junction for lunch with R and I. (Just got back actually hehe)

Anyways .. did something .. extremely .. extremely .. embarrassing <_<.. I ordered teppan chicken, R ordered noodles + sushi, I ordered some bentoish sashimi + rice + unagi. And .. when the waitress served R with a box of his noodles and liao, I thought the liao box was the sushi tray we ordered (that we'd all share). I was thinking, hey! Why got tempura? Then er.. without thinking .. reached out and er grabbed a tempura ... Halfway through eating the tempura .. the waitress came and served the sushi tray that we'd be sharing ..

I was going .. zomg. .. er... *look at tempura*.. erm ....*koff koff* errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

*koff* ........... ...

Well .. he er .. did ninja some of my teppan chicken .. <_<;;;; ..

You know .. this is just like that classic story, about this dude (ie me) buying a bag of cookies at the airport and this guy comes over and starts eating your and you go. Gah! Why is this dude eating my cookies? Then afterwards you realise you're actually eating his cookies .............=X

Poem 2

Soft waves blanket an expanse of dark sea,
I stand on the far shore, tears in my eyes,
would that distant bird, soaring, but be me,
beating slow wings, wind masking my cries.

The moon is your lover, in his arms you rest,
he cradles you gently, I spite him his chance,
soft light caresses you, worships your breast,
shimmers your hair, around your neck does dance.

In silence I fly thru these dim shores of night,
thoughts of you piercing the thin veil of sleep,
I search for a map, some magisterial height,
from which to spot your glimmer, lighting the deep.

Alone, I circle, feathers chilled by dim dreams,
until your warmth pulls me near, a thin light,
dispelling the darkness, silencing the screams,
causing nightmare to retreat from the sight.

Delicately you sleep, soft breath stirring your hair,
Nightdress tenderly cupping your flesh so sweet,
I catch your scent, mysterious, in the still night air,
memories of love, laughter, and summertime heat.

To you flowers I'd offer, colorful, and fair,
Roses to match your lips, peach blossoms your skin,
Your moth wing eyebrows, spun silk your hair,
For though tired are my wings, so sweet is your grin.

I gaze upon you fearfully, lest swiftly you fade,
my fire, my light, my lantern from the shore,
like a solitary match against the dark parade,
I hold it tight, though it burns my fingers sore.

And now, soft dawn upon this scene does shine,
I lament bittery, wishing this once not to fly,
she stirs gently, so softly, this sweet girl of mine,
longing in my heart, I spread my wings and cry.

But I know she'll soon wake, leaving dreams to the night,
her eyes will widen, and her thoughts will then freeze,
for what is resting gently, so gently on her soft thigh,
but a warm little feather, caught in the morning breeze.

Poem 1

In darkness shifting, lights fitful gleam,
cold wind gathers, slicing through bone,
as if shadow flitting, some unholy dream,
from o'er pale distance, comes riding alone.

Whole dread made life, atop a steed of fire,
gaunt hands clutching reins, brittle'd by time,
Behold a head horned, framing eyes most dire,
A miasma of death follows, reeking of lime.

Woe to those unlucky, those unfortunate few,
travellers, merchants, and the victims of fate,
sundry all who cross paths, the many you slew,
forms shrunken and shrivelled, their souls you ate.

Now from out the forest, defiant cries can be heard,
they have gathered together, courage sorely met,
"Slay the beast!" o'er town to hamlet came the word,
And gather they have, on their numbers they bet.

Yet the figure reacts not, a chill blot on the land,
shadows gather and swirl about, a murder of crows,
the attackers pause, weapons slide from slacken'd hand,
while laughter, dark and empty, on a foetid wind blows.

At once the many seem few, while legion the one,
cries and pleading erupt, darkness ripples and shrieks,
bolts of night pierce chest, as one they turn to run,
yet shadow is merciless, for living warmth it seeks.

Now the fields are silent, still is the cold earth,
the graves are all empty, for of bodies there are none,
simply shrunken dark forms, like men as still birth,
of the figure there is no sign, his work swiftly done.

So heed these words dear traveller, whyever you roam,
for darkness is coming, treasure each and every breath,
Carry you your love swiftly, and make fast your home,
For 'neath pale moon's light steps an Angel of Death.

silly thing =)
<3

Story blog? I was thinking of writing one for LA ... from his PoV hehe .. but not sure if got time to keep updating. Would be interesting though .. right? .. RIGHT?? =p

mmmmm Just had a late lunch .. went out to munch on a medium pack of BK fries. BK has the best fries out of Macs, KFC, LJS and BK imo. This one was nicely done, hot/warmish, lightly salted.. mmmm

Saw an ang moh at one of the tables when I was bringing the food to the munchie place. Was wont for me these few days, I kinda looked (*ahem*) a few times at him. These few days have been giving ang mohs more than 1 look .. I wonder why <_<;

Anyways, looking at the ang moh reminded me of something that happened yesterday. Yesterday went out with R for lunch @ Bugs' Crystal Jade (Macau Edition). We had 2 baskets of har kao, 1 plate of carrot cake, 3 custard buns (well it's 1 basket!), fried beancurd with prawns in it, 三杯鸡 and rice. Pretty yummy, then this ang moh couple came and sat beside us. The female edition of thee ang moh couple kept looking over. And they were eating .. lolz, a chocolate roll (dude) and some pastry thing (dudette). And she kept looking over at me and R demolishing the foodo hehe ^^

They finished it off with some cappochino (gah I don't drink it! Don't ask me to spell it) and some plain water while R and I had nice (well cheap) chinese tea.

Nice lunch .. though it cost me 20$ ;_;

Finally er .. cleared up some stuff in my drawers last night. It didn't really start off as 'cleaning'.. Rather, I was looking for freespace and freespace 2 for R, but it turned into a cleaning session.

There's like super ancient things in my drawers
1st drawer:
Mmmm F117 Nighthawk manual ... .. F15 Strike Eagle manual ..
LucasArts Archives .... Bunch of old receipts from like 10000 years ago.

2nd drawer:
MORE receipts <_< *throw* old manuals of hardware which already do not exist in Resurrection (nor in Independence). Old IDE cables .. cd rom cables .. *throw*

3rd drawer:
MORE receipts .. *throw* ..... old manuals .. *throw* old articles .. *throw* .
... windows 98 original manual? lolz?

No freespace <_<
.. Ah! Freespace manual! .. mm where's the .er CDs..

4th drawer:
.. zomg lolz? autocad 3.0? IE 5.0? .. Air Power? hahaha Jurassic Park Chaos Island? mffffft

Sidenote: I still remember where I bought Air Power from ... bargain bin @ Challenger @ Funan .. that was during the 'happy' times .. when Challenger was doing well and did not smell of death and decay. It wasn't well reviewed (well I knew it after I bought it) But it was kinda interesting.

It is year xyz, instead of the Hindenberg (spelling?) incident, airships blimpy things rule the skies .. The King has just matied and the crown stands empty. You, and some other pretenders .. er I mean contenders to the throne (Definitely you're the Clear Choice) each want the throne (Naturally it should be you).

So you fly around with your fleet to garner support.

To be crowned King (Which is definitely You, no other choice), you must do either
a: Kill everyone
b: Charge to the capital city and kill all the guards
c: Fly around the lands and garner support from fickle minded towns.

Naturally c will be what you're doing most of the time. So you'll be flying to towns, asking for their support ... and if they don't agree .. *ahem* zomg siege! Blow up their hangers . their grain fields... mmm Keep bombing them till they fall to their knees and beg for mercy.

Needless to say I never quite finished the game .. It was interesting though. Some of the more frooty games (Another frooty game I had was Fortress . or Air Fortress or w/e .. can't remember the name)


Anyways .. back to clearin .. I mean, looking for Freespace..

A peek in the main drawer.
Zomg. All those photos ... cards ... weird stuff .. a 変態 cd I confiscated from my friend. Never watched it .. should dispose of it one day. Found my 21 celebration pics .. lolz .. JC grad pics .. lolz. MORE receipts .. zzz A funny perlini's necklace thing. Something I wouldn't buy. Looks damn ugly. And FINALLY ZOMG .. FREESPACE! I FOUND IT!!!! .. mm where's Freespace2 ...

..

Decided, well since I'm already digging through stuff, might as well continue.
*looked under the table .. u know that hole where ur legs stick into .. Kept some of my old game boxes there*
Hmm
The Dig .. *throw*
Alien Legacy .. *throw*
Hmmm Navy Strike? ... *throw*
Star Wars sounds .. mmmm *throw*
Hmm NFS: PU? .. Cannot lah . *keep*
XWing Collector's Edition? *keep*
WC: Prophecy? .. mm *keep*
DoW? definitely. .*keep*
gah all that dust <_<;;;

Finished er ..clearing stuff around 2am .... still no Freespace 2 <_<. On hindsight, I THINK I know where it is .............. probably in that cabinet .. will have to peek in when I get back.

Definitely have to clear up more stuff.
This time I left all the correspondences alone .. It's always a little ironic to see cards which say "Best friends forever!" or "Thinking of you always!" .. etc ... Don't even know where those people are now. Which is why I tend to not give out cards like that .. Can't give out something I can't promise =p .. forever is a very long time.

Will have to wait for my 'heartless' moment to rear its head up before I toss them all though. It's a mood thing.

Mmm Actually was going to blog early early when I got to work .. But got called off to breakfast by R and spent er sometime there *cough*. Then when I got back, dunno y got some rather restless feeling, and was too busy debugging my jpeg header parser to blog ...

Every morning I walk through this covered walkway thingy (tonnes of them here lolz).. it's apparently caterpillar hatching season .. and for some reason the poor things end up on the pavement .. and .. people tend to not look at where they are stepping on .. so there's *ahem* a significant amount of er caterpillar guts strewn on the floor <_< urek. Practically a minefield to navigate ... >_> But better liao .. last week was worse...

Anyways, finally! The jpeg header parser thingy works! Already wrote my java based bulk tester, and going to write another bash file as my control case to test tomorrow. So far I have 3 things which does what I want to do. 1: My java app, 2: This C app, 3: SIPS (simple .. image... processing .. script (i think hehe)) which is a Mac thingy. Can really see the speed difference man, when I was debugging (and hence parsing the entire file) the java app would run ..zzzz.zzzzz return to console. The c program will practically return immediately .. -_-;;; Loading the awt library for a simple CLI is also slow too heh .. so had to use int[] for return values at the moment too. Maybe can try and optimise the code .. but I think quite okay liao .. mmm... Anyway .. bulk testing tomorrow!

I love bash scripting! (well .. nothing much lah just a simple level 0 type one .. nothing to talk about =p)

Hehe. As a random sidenote, I'm listening to other songs other than The Song.. Of course The Song is still in my List, but it has friends now ... Go Tight~~!

千年の孤独を越えてめぐり逢えた艶やかな眼差しに!

So tired zzz

Have to write JPEG header decoder .......... should be able to get it done lah ...... shouldn't be very hard..................

Thinking of silly wolves <_<>_>

Have to try to sleep earlier but always fail ... gah. All the weaksauce's fault <_<. Miss the weaksauce though ....... gah need vent! Need to hear the weaksauce's voice again.

Going to have to fish up more stonescale eel for wartorn .. hopefully got time to kill kodos too zzzz

Sigh so confusing .. must everything make sense? .. Yet again .. I'm a programmer.. everything must make sense. Somewhat.

Came across this pic when I was looking for *cough* an angel avatar for myself hehe. Thought it was sweet and .. hmm .. strangely appropriate? =p

Anyways the pic below is the one which belongs to the sign.

Zomg First?

Zomg first post? Guess I'm .. inspired by my recent .. research into blogs.. So decided to create one. Guess should restart writing anyways? But I dunno what to write about .. as usual =p

Wonder how long this will last
