Tripsssss.

ok a good ol’ slacking sat…
how did u guys spend ur 6 sept?

went out with raisins to buy her boots…
immediately found wat she wanted in the URS shop in heeren man… tt’s good!
sometimes i just hate looking all over for that wonderful thing in my mind,
and still not finding it…

> my camera dunno why cannot work…
i suspect there’s something wrong with the batt…
worked fine a few mths ago
cannot be spoiled wot??? :{
i shall go buy batteries…

>> watched Xia Ri De Mo Mo Cha (movie featuring Redang Island!)
on Ch. 8 just now…
tt wasn’t so long ago when i first watched it…
the romantic comedy tt got the movie industry whirring
quite abit in HK again…
the romantic comedy tt started the chain of more romantic comedies
starring Sammi Cheng.
but seriously, she was quite good in this role.
she cried, with the right timing, and mood…
the other romantic comedies she din do tt well…

and this is the show tt got me hooked to Redang…
and even though i have been there…
the same sea and the same sand that were featured in the movie,
but it didn’t feel like that movie so much.
i guess its the construction site, the barrels strewn all over the beach,
the stupid entire area CLUSTERED with resorts n huts…
it’s not authentic n rustic anymore…
and also the bad techno music, the bad karaoke goers,
the group of irritating family who destroyed the peace from day 2…
and the food was YUCK, but i love eating toast anyway…

no offence to the people who went with me -
but maybe i was looking for a trip with a special someone…
ahhaah – the romantic side of me working overtime this weekend…
yeap… it didn’t feel quite romantic swimming with 6 others?!
ahahaha… no offence really…

ok maybe i shall plan another weekend out to Redang next yr,
same time of the yr or something…
or tioman – the bus trip is shorter?
or bintan? or… eh nvm nvm…
i shall continue to save for my trip to Europe… or the working hols in UK…

Piratesssss.

watched “pirates of the caribbean: the curse of the black pearl”
liked it alot…
the acting, the casting, the art dept did a good job, great CG,
great plot and flow of the storyline…
worth my money man – this is the kinda show i will wanna watch in cinema man… EPICS!
(and… … i was overwhelmed by the crowd i was with – 10ppl! >:O)

i particularly loved this scene when Jack Sparrow & Elisabeth
got dumped on this deserted island in the Caribbean,
OMG it’s so beautiful…
the sea is clear turquoise crystal in its liquid form man…
i would love to go to such a place,
spend sometime there (complete with food n music supply, umbrella…)
and i wouldn’t mind using the single shot left in the gun man.
that will be my heaven. i believe.

It’s not a negative comment! it really isn’t.
it’s a dream destination for me…
tt’s why i like somewhere like Maldives?
so practically i’ll KILL to be there…
of course i wish for that someone for company…
i guess tt’s the simple-minded, dreamy side of me at work now…

but johnny depp is good, all the way from Edward Scissorhands,
it’s still one of my favorite movies of all time. the fairy-tale thing.
9th Gate was URGH, Astronaut’s Wife sucked (the director’s fault!),
Chocolat was yummy, Sleepy Hollow was FOO!
i really respect him as an actor who know how to pick his roles well…
and execute them well…
but it’s not really his fault when the director got sand up his grey matter huh… hmmm…
I would like to watch What’s Eating Gilbert’s Grapes, Blow, From Hell…
oh ~~~
(me n raisins on gushing n drooling mode!)

and did i mention i kinda like takeshi kaneshiro? >:)

Conceited Little Me.

I think i am a very conceited person.
when i do things well (in work) i get a bit high and mighty.
and i did raise my voice a few times out of stress or something…
when i keep screwing up at work,
i get depressed (like now),
and even though i still do my job as well as i can, i feel horrible inside.

i think i am conceited, forgetful, noisy, and sometimes PMSish.

i would like to apologise to those who has suffered under my stupidity.
i’ve been trying very hard to improve my behavior,
my temper, my attitude, and my mood during work.
well at least u dun see me flare up much now…

but i did raise my voice or grumble loudly…
oh man, i need to do better than this! :[

Sunrise.

Afterlife – Sunrise

Can you feel it now?
Will you save me from this place
Adore me
Until my body melts away
Explore me

I’ll make you rainbows in my mind
To watch and you will grow inside

Can I dissolve into you?
Fall into the sky so blue

* Sunrise… (x3)
Can you feel it now?
Sunrise… (x3)
Can you feel it now?

Can I dissolve into you?
Allow me
To fall into the sky so blue
Surround me
With every color in your heart
To soothe me
And we’ll wake up in the morning sun

And to the east I worship
The sun and its great mysteries
Find my roots to guidance
And walk through life with beauty
. . . . . . . . . . .

# note from alt: awww i love this bossa nova track…
new discovery – “Afterlife” now under the Hed Kandi label.
i’m gonna buy this CD “Simplicity Two Thousand”…
Too bad dun have this track inside…
i’m falling in this song deeply…

Names And Booze.

YEAH… i got my Absolut Vodka!
From my another producer, Sean who also went to Europe!
in the end, Harryass didn’t buy anything back for me…
he was mugged twice in Barcelona…
then the heat wave in Paris didn’t help either…
poor traumatised Harryass! :X

But it’s ok… i love the bottle, and to my surprise my mama said,
“OH! We can drink for Mid-Autumn Festival!” O_o
it is going to sit in my brother’s room for the time being,
until i find a nice cool place for it in my new room
and i’ve warned him NOT to drink it! >:)

heh heh, happy happy dizzy dizzy…
going to get ppl get more flavors for me when they go overseas!
Heh heh….

> Mr Fatty, as some of u guys will know – he’s my ex…
he smsed me some things… which kinda disturbed me…
he said “Hi fatty just take care of yourself.
to be frank i still think of you sometimes, i dunno why but it happens.
Enjoy yourself… And drink more water so u wun fall sick that easily”

i was touched, yet pissed, yet smirking from within, yet cursing him…
why does he have to sms me something like this to remind me of him,
and in turn remind me of the hurt, and remind me of the past?

but i know our lives will never cross paths again.
but he made me cried, once again, and i swear it lasted for 5 secs only.

why? maybe it’s pms. yes it IS pms.

>> another issue, assholepup has given me an idea to get an English name of myself. i am sick of introducing myself to ppl as Li Tin,
so hard to remember!

so please whoever reads this, pls think of 5 names each that u think would suit me.
some notes to… errr… note literally:

1> my surname is Ang, so it has to match my surname well…
2> i like names tt are not girly like Chantel, yet not guyish like Fred. >:P
3> weird names like Avril and Alanis are goot… (I like those names but I dun wanna use them and turn out macam poser)
4> it has to sound right, and seem right when u call me by tt name (guess u will puke if u call me Wendy right?).
5> we also have to figure out if there’s anything dumb connected to the name + surname combo (eg. nelson tan (NIAO SHEN DAN!), paul chan (Puo Chan = Bankrupt)
6> something easy to pronounce and not easy to mispronounce
(Rachel = “Ray-Cherl” or “Rae-Shell?”)
7> no stupid suggestions like Angsana, Abunehneh, Arjiborong (thanks to assholepup) please…. Arigato…

Will hold another poll for u guys to pick out the shortlisted ones
Comon! post it in the comments page!

Piercings To Numb Part 2.

my mama nagged at me for doing so many piercings…
like i was a teenager…
ahaha… nolstalgia huh…

and she couldn’t understand why i couldn’t balance it,
so it’s 3 on both ears… why just on one ear?
hahaaha… and she actually said,”Yao Zuo Ah Lian Ah?”
OMG! can’t she tell i am way past tt age when i could be influenced LIKE THAT??? >:@

but it’s damn funny…
yet i know la… I think i shocked her quite a rude bit…
cos i’ve always been very kuai, very conservative…
now i go out till 4am in the morning, seemingly drunk (she’s seen me wobbling into the house…), wear sleeveless with no jacket (i din do that for 21 whole yrs, now liddat?!), get multiple piercings…
i dunno how she would react if one day i said i got a tattoo or something… -_-

but one gripe – the topmost piercing kinda hurt when u touch it,
but the 2nd in the row (oso done yesterday) dun hurt at all…
guess tt one kena the nerve or something…
YEOWCH… :S

Piercings To Numb.

had 2 more piercings on my ear today…
jooli had her 5th one on her right ear… this time round it hurts, not like the one i did last week,
absolutely no feeling… ;\

my producer (not harryass) came back from an Europe trip,
has gotten me my Absolut Vodka! Only $20.80 at duty-free!
heh heh… nice nice…

nice to catch up with jooli again,
even though she made me break my vow n eat long john’s
after what… like 4 mths…
even though we went to eat sushi w jace n eugene,
have a nice solid bitching session,
eat more sushi… yum~

i like this laid-back, furiously walking everywhere to look at everything, and eating loads of calories feeling…
of course my whining abt fats din help… but then again…

anyways u guys have something to say about true love huh?
anyone wants to talk about WHAT IS TRUE LOVE?

my definition *from watching too much romance shit:
> 2 ppl who connects mentally, spiritually, emotionally…
> 2 ppl who understand, trust, have faith in each other…
> 2 ppl who can accomodate each other’s flaws…
> 2 ppl who are ready to give up their personal space for another
> 2 ppl who …

argh… i dunno. i just don’t believe in it anymore.
no true love in this world> just plain fear of loneliness,
need for companionship, lust, co-dependant behavior…

true love does not exist, even though i believe in it.
such contradiction.

Chains?.

yeap some ppl think my project DAMN big,
it is big in a way…
but i have given myself more time,
JUST in case i couldn’t finish it,
for one reason or another,
and i wanna finish it quick,
cos we’re a little short-handed,
so cannot take too much time oso…

anyway the show isn’t that great,
the “supposedly” funny bits only managed to mildly amuse me.
and i am really not one for family comedies…
so…
just a trailer that would do it justice will do la…
i hope i get more chances like this…
get to explore writing scripts,
thinking of songs to use,
and the approach to do it…

ok la not too bad, it’s an ok thing… *mumbles mumbles*

yeap, this is a boring friday night…
no where to go, no one to go out with, no money to go anywhere…
few of us wanted to watch “Cypher”,
but it’s no longer running in the theatres already…
i’m interested in sci-fi, fantasy movies…

some of the movies i liked:
the truman show
pleasantville
lord of the rings
phenomenon

shows like that intrigue me,
not some fuzzy romance thingy… not some comedy…
not into horror shows somehow (not tt it scares me)…
horror movies just make u feel SCARED.
maybe of toilets, or of water, or of little kids with long hair,
or of little kids wearing raincoats, or of…
well it’s just a scaredey feeling,
nothing special like “WOAHHHH”, or “HEY!”, or “HMM…”
it’s just “AHHHHHHH…”
i like shows with fantasy elements in it man.
i like… … …

ok, enough of myself.
but i can’t comment much on the rest of the world
and the things tt happen around me lately…
haven’t been reading the news or anything… ;\

but i know about the CPF cuts,
the shitty measures that the government are calling “preventive”.
they r just making our lives more miserable than it already is.
those who cannot afford buy flats by cash,
those who use the CPF to pay for their children’s education,
those who use it to invest for money to grow faster.

and most singaporeans will just resign to their fates,
and will continue to hold on to the government railing,
not knowing where it will actually lead them.
maybe i am like this too.

but i am thinking of applying for a “working holiday” visa in UK.
(thanks to assholepup for providing this info)
just something to get away from my life, for a while.
yes…
but can i afford to let my family go almost incomeless for a year?
i can’t.
that is why i dun dare to go study full time,
and i know doing design is not something easily you can handle
part time.
i could save up enough for a plane ticket to UK.
but…
there’s alot of things holding me back.

i guess they are called chains, indeed.

Yay!.

very satisfied with myself
managed to finish the trailer quick enough
YEAH!!!!!!

so… i’ll be free on friday, and the weekend…
who wanna go out?
not exactly go out – but jus hang around somewhere la…
singapore nothing much to do,
no where to go…
so… how?
