Blood Sugar Sex Magic




Ever had that feeling where you are so stoked to do something, and in the process of getting there, you fall down so many times, you just get bummed.I had it today.crud.

Okok..So.Chinese New Year is coming and I honestly couldn't give a hoot about it.but that means 3 free days and that's whyy I cant wait! can you? So today was a pretty good day, in terms of weather..but that doesn't mean the sky wont fall on us in 30 years or so due to the global warming thing.And please, I still wanna visit the north pole, so if possible, turn that air con off.I don't wanna visit a puddle when I can finally afford it.I wanna visit the CONTINENT.

today's picture is a new one! YAY! Its recommended by Sam, to draw about Ying Hao.Now for those who don't know,Yinghao Loves squash, JJC and has this technique for taking birdy shots in locvid. NO! don't think dirty.I mean it in a nice way.Like flap flap birdy.SO here it is!

And today, there is something NEW!
Feature BAND OF THE MONTH on Ramblegalore.blogspot :D

Today's featured band is ( I can safely say) the top of the handful of bands that I like from America.And I don't really fancy American bands mind you..but today..we will talk about..the one..the only..the "I made my mark by wearing underwear on stage" band ...Dum dum dumm


Yeap.For those of you who are from the generation of fallout boy and His/Her chemical romance and haven't heard of them, you should be ashamed.Seriously.This is Music. What they play is alternative rock and its rather jumpy on some tracks, aside from the new album where they mellowed the tunes abit.But anyway. for first time listeners, I would recommend the song "Californicaton" Or if you wanna test an album, then get "the Best Of Red Hot Chili Peppers" For those who have gotten those and a couple of the other albums, get "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" if you don't already have it.It's the first album after they changed to their current line up andd I gotta say..Its goood*faints*..And for those who have you doubts, well, this band is more for those who like keane, coldplay, and maybe Acdc.its a unique sound.Very Unique.Anyway, here's a live in portland vid of the song " Blood Sugar Sex Magik" <=(Hyper link)
on youtube to whet your appetites.

A Short Prattle



3 straight days of posting.RECORD! well.I'm just really bored ,speechcom outline is done and I forgot what else i need to get done.So while I "think" I will blog.

Oh.I got a B+ for phoenetics journal.which is ok considering I was playing rally racers while everyone rushed theirs.And if its any consolation, at least I made cordelia laugh with the entries.ANYWAYY, my apologies for not drawing anything lately.just posting the old stuff and random pics.I'm working on a lil hand drawn one and i wanna get it down before term ends.Soo.yah. I will start soon.Really.really really.

And I find my blog sad.I'm suppose to ramble, I know ; but i end up talking about my lecturers and my phoentics journal.So I'm thinking of going more mag-ish.Like a once a month review, a once a month random barrage of pictures and a monthly change of song.Of course I will still talk about me to me and draw on a daily/half weekly/weekly basis.but at least it wont be so..BORRINGG.
And my bad about the tag board.I WANNA reply, but i dont wanna flood my own c-box.
But I will do it in my entries.I shall NOT procrastinate. therefore, I will do it soon. again, really really.

If I got a dollar for every And, I would be rich.And and and.
So nice.So Bhb.

Goofy Against The World


You know,Daniel's blog and mine are way different.While his concerns the greater good of mankind; like introducing them to "staggy the scout killer"(which is the most mindless,simple and gorish game in the world; and thats why i love it) Mine well..concerns..me.and well..pictures..that are drawn by...me.HAH!

Ok..So lets talk O levels since tmr its coming out.Its been almost a
year since i got mine..andd i remember thinking I'll fail.Badly.Like 546 points bad..but i didn't..So I went for the Np interview and while the whole world outside the interview rooms were getting nervous and preparing Oscar speeches for their interviewers.I ,well, couldn't give a rat's bottom.that's where I met Kean, the first MCM student I got to know.And then i saw him get chased away..*shakes head* But, that's another story.ANYWAY, so i went in..and the interviewer was this lady called Mrs Singh, and she asked," so,tell me, what is your greatest achievement in life" So I looked at her, and stated very plainly " passing my O lvls"
andd well..I assumed I flunked the thing.And Lo and Behold.guess where I am now.


Now this WASN'T another one of my attempts to kill blog entry space, its a way of telling people like my very old foggie friend Ben(he is old cause I've known him for pretty much an eon already), and Junjie, and all..that maybe the academic world isn't for you, but if you don't get 6 points or below don't worry.Cause I'm sure someone out there is crazy/understanding enough to accept you into their school.


I'm the perfect example:)

Pic of the day is "one against the world" like the title, it depicts going against the grain. and speaking of which, a "Goofy" is the opposite way of riding the skateboard, kicking with your left instead of right feet.think left and right handers. so its like challenging "regulars", people who ride normally. If you want to find out more , "the skateboard mag" march issue has an exclusive on some sleek people who are goofy.Anyway, imagine being a boarder, and the attachment of criminal or vandal attached to the status(so half the world dislikes you), and then being a goofy, which means add all regular boarders to that list of "people who dislike me". Ok.anyway, for those who do like me, I've send you a postal hug:D

15 Men and A Dead Man's Chest


The weekends are over.Boo.

I'm feeling exceptionally happy today.And exceptionally tired. Dont know why, but what I do know is I got this radical triangle shaped pen which looked like..well..a triangle..

OK OK, so today the sky looked gorgeous. And I realize how gay that sounds, but I dont really care..and..andd..anddd....I need new topics to ramble about.Speaking of rambling, unlike Daniel, despite the two weeks of workload ahead,I will continue to update my posts.HA! take that!
I'm gonna be rambling about school probably, and how the upcoming holidays elate me, but the end of year 1 with T1-10 saddens me or something..But I shall only do it with accompanying artwork.Till then, it'll be same old same old with my drawings.

and I need more one liners. Daniel, suggest! Samantha(tee hee, full name),suggest! Felonie, Suggest! Ben,suggest! Genny, suggest! Tpt, suggest! Hao ,suggest! Glenn, suggest! Wei Qiang, suggest! Strangers, suggest!

You get the picture( I mean everyone, not just those above)

Anyway, art today is for Wq.Its long overdue.It's called " 15 men and a dead man's chest"
What does it mean? It means people in different positions of a same situation may react to stuff differently.Or if you can come up with something deeper, then that is what it means.:P

A Long Post Of Blah


Well.I wasn't going to blog today.Again,I didn't draw; but after scrolling thru a couple of blogs, why not do my own for others to scroll through.


I said in my first entry that i don't intend to talk inner most feelings and emo -emotions here.I shan't. I shall talk about things that bother me, or happen to me, and ramble about them.like food for thought.or word for thought.Whichever you prefer.

I did my social psychology journal and then I read a blog post and they both concerned me and conflict management, which leads me to ponder;What is the right way to effectively confront a situation? Now I personally like the up close and personal theory; the one where you go up and diss it out,end it all in 5 mins, and be friends again.It is also the one where if someone is being a sod, you tell them straight and not try to say" I think its me, but perhaps you are not very nice".
Of course, over the years, there have been many debates, conflicts and discontentment over the bluntness of my words. But most of all,it is often misinterpreted.I don't believe in judging a person,and I don't.I don't smear a person's character nor try to expose their flaws,no.I try to get the message across that this is how you are behaving, and if you ain't careful, it's gonna become a habit/character.Sure,I'm sure change is inherent in all things,but can I be blamed for trying?

Men was evolved thru a time where they killed mammoths to survive, then a time where boys were trained for war, and now all shows for that once proud resilience of men is how we complain like lords when there is sweltering heat and no air-con.Is this a world that is, as is often said"improving", or one that is deproving?

Today's picture is special.It is my favorite favorite one, and it was drawn when I was very down, and it was titled "put the sun back in our hearts" from the song by The Coral™ (Brit Band).Now why I decided to put this up today is cause..I just feel like it.Haha

Lock, Stock and a Smoking Monkey


Ok. I am in noo mood to draw.Don't know why.

Maybe its my burning legs..like burnnninggg.. cause i seem to attract griptape to it.And for those who think griptape is jargon;NAY, I tell ye.NAYY..like the horse.

Anywayyy..This pic is called"monkey with a gun"

*Affable Grin* It's one of my favorites.

What Did YOU Do Today?


It rains again.And it's cold.I like~

Today I went to farrer park to get that infernal iac project done.and there is this market , which is filled with the older generation who work there and all.I mean,many have families, but its disheartening to see them like that.Some have children and grandchildren, but these people go home to a place to sleep, not a home.Why do i say that.CAUSE THEY ARENT APPRECIATED! It can be seen how they react when you talk to them in dialect, or when they give you that surprised look and smile when you say you're buying it home for your grandfolks.And there was this nice lady which sat to chat with us, went off, came back and gave us apples, went off again then CAME BACK again just to tell us to wash it. How many of us can go to bed at night and safely say I've did something nice for my grandma today?

Anyway, on a brighter note(not much), Wq told me today he saw some guy holding a nice clean skateboard and wearing a scarf walking around.so irritating.A skateboard can be a symbol for many different things for various people.but it is definitely NOT a fashion accessory.Then I was buying food in the food centre, and this auntie walked up wearing a element t-shirt.I'm not an element kinda guy.I prefer zoo york or plan b or maybe even enjoi, not element.BUT STILL!


"See how they have desecrated the sport, oh skateboarding gods."

Slam! Bam! Wham! Pop?


2 days I wanna board badly. and 2 days it rained cats and cows.How fortunate.

So I managed to cram half an hour of boarding in under the block, caused a din and prayed the police didnt come.they didnt..yet.. You know, maybe every person will a skateboard should go under their block at 9 every night and cause a racket till 12 daily, till the govt builds a nice big proper cement skatepark.Maybee.. and it's gotta be sheltered.

So today's picture is called "make history before you become history" and it isnt funny.nope.unlike the rest where i try to slide in something funny, i couldnt with this one..Too serious a topic*serious look* but I like it tho..its so..vague..Now I would explain it, but as the like philosophers at the Hindu kush said about philosophy :" explaining it would be like pouring pure water thru mud" and its not that hard, puh lease.

Ok, Writcom proposal time*rolls eyes*

Sloth Anonymous


I feel like a sloth today.A very irritable sloth.grr.

And the days events didnt really help.paid 3 dollars to go to town for an unproductive meeting for iac, and then it was all wet downstairs I could only board for 3 mins before I figured I had a higher chance of ice skating then boarding on that floor.

On a happier note, I like potluck.Open the fridge, dig out some remnant of last years rations ,and cook it to eat.As a wise man once said:" I was not a man born for this times of self indulgence,I was born a man of neccesity"

Well, the wise man was me.and I said that while sputtering cheese over dinner.HA!

OK.2 things for today.Today's picture is called "The alien ate my homework"(Wei Qiang's one liner). I think the standard is abit shabby, but I've got a million excuses to explain why that is so.AND 2nd-ly, I was reading transworld skate mag on the bus, and there are 9 tips on how to survive as a boarder with no money for all boarders out there (below).sooo Knock Yourself Out!:)

9 Ways to survive as a skateboarder with no money(short version, want the long one, get the mag yourself )
1.Couch Surf
(basically like going from one couch to the next, house to house)
2.Sell youself to science (You missed a great opportunity when they were testing out viagra)
3.Sell your product ( If you're sponsored(damn you) and you get free stuff, sell em)
4.Get a girlfriend ( they're not talking quality type, they're talking rich daddy, dull daughter types)
5.Casting calls ( see that Ovatine or horlick ad on tv with the kid boarding? imagine an adult version and go audition for it)
6.Borrow money( and dont pay back) Despicable.JUST TAKE IT.
7.under a dollar diet(its hard, but possible)
TIP: 5 in one candy trick. Get a big gulp cup, stuff it with candy, then fill 'er up.TADA! (bet the cashier will never see that one coming.)
8.Free samples( I personally think this is just sad)
9.Get a job(No...Seriously?)

Soo I guess I'm no Napoleon, but Red Hot Chilli Peppers are doing a great deal to ease my pain.Maybe it's cause today is the last thursday we will be at the daws for a while..Crud..

AND speaking of which, I just found out I know people who think Napoleon Bonaparte is still alive.NO KIDDING! and ( i wont mention names to save their faces)that IS perfect proof of kids these days and how many(not all) of them don't know anything aside from some band they like. horrible.

And soooo we reach today's drawing...It was done sometime back and it is called "apple hates you" duh~.Its for all the people who have problem with their apples.Not the fruit, the product.

Screwed


Sour Power! One of the greatest candy ever to exist. As I munch from a packet on my lap, I prepare to TALK MY HEAD OFF!

But nay..I'm not gonna prattle today..cause I dont feeeeel like it.
And the title of this pic is "screwed" .
Which is kinda apt, cause I'm feeling screwed over by all that work done today.

Run Away~


Yes! I abstained from the blog for ONE day! Now despite the fact it was due to circumstances and not sheer willpower, it still counts.HA!

Now I read that day that "nuturing the love to read is to fortify yourself against the miseries of life" which is really funny..Cause I lovee to read but doesn't that just make it sound like alchohol? "Nuturing the love to drink like a baboon is to fortify yourself against the miseries of life for the duration which you are sprawled on the pavement". Maybe a tad long, but its the same thing..I mean reading is good, but the way that was phrased is..BZZzt..

ANYWAY..on to my drawing..the title of this drawing is called"Thank God I'm Leaving".It was a one liner contributed by my dearest friend, and it is my first "based-on-a-line drawing".YAY!

ok.writcom time.*rolls eyes*

A New Start


Hello.Firstly, This is my third blog. see.Number 1 and 3 in the samee sentence.Secondly,I DO NOT intend to post my innermost feelings here.haha.I will post my random rambles and drawings...and yeah..

Now for an introduction.

I'M MARK! This isnt a dating service so i wont tell my height or age, altho I am legal.*looks at the bunch of not-yet-legal people in my social circle* HAHA! and this feeling to rattling on to myself is rather..dull..so i will stop now.Oh.thats me..at least i drew it as a depiction of me.altho i DO wear a shirt..
