I think in drawing, one of the hardest part to draw( for me ) is not the face, but the hands.To get the motion and the correct gesture is hard, and the second hardest part is when the legs are needed.

Captains Log 28/2/2008 10:33pm

We are into the second week of holidays, and so far everything is fine.The journey from the start to the end of the holidays will be tough, hard, and the boredom is already starting to egg into my mind.But as the captain of my life, I've got to hold it in the right course. The crew has already mutinied once, and the after effects of those treacherous white cells are still present( I sniff really loudly at this part).The empress has told me of this thing called "the job" and told me to get it, but so far it has eluded me.However, it's not that bad all in all, I still manage to Skate the Plank every night, or almost everynight, much to the crews discontent.I will log again soon.

End of Log 10.37pm

Heh, now that piece of baloney above aint world class, but its imagination non the less. And for those whom are running at a lower pentium speed, that was just me giving an update of my holiday in the hardest of ways.Hope it helped to keep those brain cells going.

And speaking of brains cells, I think I'm killing mine.

Shout Out!

Ok, I'm sick of Mr Bubbbbble.Well, Like every other song, with me constantly coming to my blog(for narcissistic reasons we all dont wanna admit E.g.OOO,look how lovely my blog iss) , the song gets tired after a week.SO here, is DEEP PURPLE, the greatest rock band of the old days, and the reason i bought a guitar.(or you could blame it on the HP ad which kept playing it, either way)

A Jalopy A Day.

I have come to realise over the past year, that I am way more cheena then most of my chinese friends.and what makes it even a bigger blow is that I dont feel ashamed about it.

Right, so on a more english note, today I will rant about being cheated. Now me being me, well, i'm really happy being me, but I do feel that we(as a human collective) are being cheated of the wonders of life and the enjoyment of many things due to technology and shizz like that.Below is a list.

We are being cheated of:

the simple things in life( I heard plowing fields and growing padi has its merits)
being able to have meaningful conversations over coffee or laksa(Msn and sms's have ruined it)
Courtship(No more serenading the lady on the balcony.Its more I like you, you like me, lets go steady, how uninteresting)
a long boat ride to unknown lands with friends or relations(it's all rush rush rush, aeroplane rush, car rush)

animals( you can prepare to tell your kids " i saw a polar bear in the zoo, you see a polar bear in a book)

Knowledge( "who needs books with the internet, with the internet, I am KING!" right)
Individuality( Conforming is a social norm now, you wear big hair, long sideburns and bootcut, you're a loser o.o)
Fashion(it seems the less one wears, the more glam it is. Audey hepburn must be doing 360 bodyflips in her grave)
Life(when was the last time you stopped to smell the roses and get stung by a bee?)

And many many more.

So tell me, what so nice about the 21st century?

Picture of the day, well, its tattooed, it has red pants, and it has no name.I like to call it, rock-a-fella.get it? Rock A Fella?

Oh, this is a variation of the same title as my previous post(birds of a feather) .I saw it on threadless as a new tee design. cool huh?

Random thought: Thor #6 comes out tmr!

Song on itune: Thong song

Random worry: I'm losing shoes faster then Td farming in Dota.

To A Running Nose, A Dinosaur Is Of No Relation.

It seems that I'm busier during the holidays then during the schooling .I'm havent been home before ten this week, or when I am, its like a pit stop to have a quick shower and go out again. (being home before ten today took effort)And thus,I reach my current predicament; dehydrated, numb in the legs and hugging toilet paper and panadol to sleep cause my bloody nose is practicing for the olympics.

Anyway, on a not so self indulgent note, I, today, shall talk about...Well, I was gonna talk about forgiveness, or time management, or kangaroos..But My head is kinda like a whirlpool with extra whirl, so I think I will pass on that for today.But I will rant soon.

Speaking of which, did you know kangaroos are marsupials, and marsupials are like the pre evolved stage of mammals? and the reason there are only marsupials and no mammals in Australia(before humans introduced mammals in) is cause Australia as a continent broke off from the rest of the world before evolution could reach them.Cool huh?

A Chick In The Hand Is Worth $6.50 At the Poultry Section of Ntuc Soon

I just walked home from town with Ben, and I just sent an email to someone that I should have done eons ago.Feels good and bad, to be relieved of such a burden.

Anyway, on the way thru town with Ben, before participating in the walkathon, We saw a couple of interesting guys.Now when I say interesting, I mean short skirt, high heels, handbags and whatnot. And No, I meant guys as in men with the ding and the dong. not guys as in people.alamak, so crude.But I gotta hit the point home see. Anyway, back to the she-men, now honestly, its their way of living, so I cant say hoot, but what I can say is, if you wanna wear heels, at least LEARN to walk it them. dont walk as if you are a cross between the "I-really-need-to-pee-badly" state, and the "I'm-an-intorverted-person" state, cause not only will I glance, I will giggle like a girl before laughing, and now that aint really nice isit?

Oh oh! and I was walking thru town, and the pigeons , when I walk past, dont fly away, but when others walk past, they fly away.So I have bestowed myself a title.And thus I shall now be known as "Mark : the Chick Friendly One*"

*I say chick friendly with utmost seriousness and I mean the two legged sort , and I mean ALL sorts of chicks, like chicken , ducks, turkeys, tigers and robins. (Aren't they ALL two legged?)

Picture of the day.Ok, I know, I'm getting lazy with the pics, but I need suggestions.GIVE!

Random thought: "Eyes of lead" is a really good song title

A Donkey In A Tree, Sat and Said to me....

Ok.So i'm back from town. And here's the damage.

Yeap.goodbye, good ole shoes.That pair lasted me since sec 4, and I killed it while boarding.*Sob*

Anyway, I had an awesome time today.Now I know you didn't ask, but i'm telling.And I've found out why I've been feeling like something is missing from my life.Its not the lack of awesome board tricks in my arsenal(yet) Nor is it the lack of that someone, as james as so kindly pointed out. And no, I did not finally realize I bat for the other team. What is the problem is..Dum dum dum.. my life, is too mundane! aside from when i'm on my board,I live by structure and routine and that is really really really really...Zzzzzzzzzzzz.. Now what I need is spontaneity, excitement and randomness to a third degree.Anyone got suggestions?

And I wish to prattle abit about boarding. Now when I bought my first board, almost a year now(april), I bought it for all the wrong reasons(sadly). I bought it cause it was like how women take a haircut when they break up, I bought it cause its cool to say I skateboard, and the list goes on.and for the next 5 mths, i barely touched it.it was like my guitar, sitting there in the corner. 5 mths ago, I found the right reasons to board, and I loved it and today 5 mths later,I reached skateboard nirvana..MUHAHA. yes.there is a skateboard nirvana.it is a place where u feel no restrictions and falling isnt a problem(this coming from a guy with two orange sized blue blacks on both hips) And you do INSANELY high jumps and feel great about it and everything else(flowers, bees, apple tree, yada yada).Of course this takes its toll, cause drinking water in nirvana is like diesel in a rocket.My dope lasted 19 mins before i had to grab sugar or die. crud.but now you know.So the next time you watch a skateboard vid and the guy falls, breaks his arm, gets up, smiles and gets on the board again.you know he is on dope.Skateboard dope.

Oh oH! Keann! and the world who reads this! I can help you! if you really wanna learn skateboarding, get your board, your trucks, your wheels, and ur plasters, and I'll teach you 3 lessons for 8 quid! haha! no.I'm kidding, if you wanna learn,I'll teach what I know for free(i'm no pro tho).Just call, or mail, or send a homing turtle.

The Red Dragon And The Hurricane

Well.Today is officially the last day of school. I handed up my last assignment, but somehow, it hasnt really sunk in.

On a sadder side, its goodbye to t1-05/10. It is said only 20 % will move to a new class, but judging from the last couple of sems, I'd most probably be one of those moving. How depressing.

Speaking of which, it been a year since I started poly.end of year 1, start of year 2 in a couple of months. And I finally managed to get scar tissue to read.Its the autobigraphy of Anthony Kiedis, the frontman of Red Hot Chili Peppers.Which makes me think.If , per say, I flip out tmr.What will my autobigraphy say.

Mark.
wrecked a couple of skateboards, was on his way to a third.
had one of the worlds shortest attention span.

was a mass muderer of pets.

had a warhammer collection( which conveniently, is up for auction)
Lastly, he left us all with warmth in our hearts, and marigold milk in the fridge.

Nope.Wont do.Gotta get more stuffing for my "in-case-I-flip-out" resume.

Picture of the day."The grim boarder" since i'm talking death and all, and i'm honestly too lazy to draw a pic, heres a rather old one.

Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf

Ok. I dont really feel like blogging today.My legs are too darn numb.But I shall attempt.

Yesterday I tried to board at 5..am..I managed to drag my ass out of bed, but when I figured my motring skills were still asleep, I just followed suit.(on a side note, i did fulfil overnight boarding.tho it was till 4 or so only)*fast forward to like 12* and we were driving thru some old lanes that I use to walk to get to my primary school(the old building). And we passed this one backalley where I remember walking with Isabel on the few times I managed to walk with her home after school. And maybe my walking was bad, or I yakked to much, but she moved to canada a couple of years after. Haha. Oh well.

Alright, anyway, last assignment to hand up tmr ,and I'm free like a bird.

And the picture is well, after so much WRITTEN communication, a pencil seemed apt.

Anyway, today Genny and Tabitha wore green.like two peas in a pod.literally.HA!
and I saw something on the bus! so here goes.



Today I was on the bus

With Genny and Tab (Moss And Mosses[plural for moss])
Then when we reached Hwa chong, a *look below* boarded the bus.

Well.he did look like one.and it was hilarious.Plus he made funny sounds..I wanted offer him shoots


and see if he'd eat it, but I didnt have any with me. ah well.

Mushroom Of Mushy Doom!

We went to the park,

a park of flat ground
with sun in the sky and lovers abound
So I grew shy and I said to she,

lets go starbucks
For coffee and tea
we went and hid in the cafe,

until the sun had slowly crept away
Feeling safe, away from prying eyes,
we did wonderful things under the velvet sky

Then it was 8, and time to go,

so I looked sadly into the distant Mrt glow
And i turned and said to she,

"I'm so sorry, we have to go"
So we rode off into the distant light,

me and my skateboard, my valentine.

HA! had you thinking there didnt I? It seems after a good shredding session,I can sing, dance and create half past six poetry.Now I dont know why, but I keep looking at my phone today, with a nagging feeling of something.like expecting something.*shrugs* Plus the park in town was filled with couples doing stuff..and there were no boarders in sight!! bloody hell.

Now imagine I recited a poem while riding, would that be poetry in motion?

Photo Spam

I've been promising myself the last couple of days to blog but due to some weird magical forces at work, i seem unable to land my ass home before 12. So today I have decided to blog early..at 4.07pm to be exact..on valentines day..how ironic.HAHA

two days back,I finally managed to haul Wei qiangs ass to town to board.and I think that was the best shredding session since I began.But today's post isnt about me. Its suppose to be a photo spam entry. So tada!

Happy Valentines' day

Free Candy Isn't My Flavour

I have officially beaten my previous blog! 24 posts! and since Keann has so kindly pointed out to me many people go to his blog thru my blog, I can safely assume many people come here.and I thank you. I love an audience. *grins*

OK! Now chinese new year is over, the question I seem to hear alot is " show me the money!" or the local variation "how much money you get this year har", so yes, today I wish to rant about money. Back when money was created, it was just a system that was better then the trade/barter system. a system meant to make this equal and a system to allow another route to getting what you then then having to trade 5000 oxen for a child. But nowadays, this doesnt seem the case. It seems money "makes the world go round" literally. Today my friend gave me an ang bao from her folks (cause when we visited they forgot to give,thank goodness) , and since me being me, well..I dont feel comfortable taking even ang bao from my own family let along a friends folks.So i gave it back and well..lets just say, due to my very vague wave to say "keep it" to her, a couple of friends kinda thought i meant take it, and well..ravaged a 6 dollar ang bao. and that is disturbing. well I find it disturbing.I've seen big notes on pavements before, and I dont pick it up.Call me stupid, but why should I keep something I didnt earn nor own? But yet here are two 18 yr olds ravaging a $6 angbao they have no right over. Now I'm not flaming them, altho they should be ashamed; but I'm just using this as an example to say what happened to money being just the means to an end?

Picture of the day is a remake of a picture by michelangelo's painting titled when Man meets God.Mine is titled, when the world met money. It just shows how cash in all currency as been put on a pedestal so high, it can be said to be godified (no blasphemy intended)

I miss em buggers.

P.s.I cant speak properly today.WHY?!

Shout Out

Random Shoutout:

SONG CHANGE! I know.It's not a month yet, and I prefer my evil song to this.but to fit the mood and to break the monotony and plus I found this in my itunes collecting digitalized dust.It will revert back in a week.

Tom, Dick and Malnutrition

It seems the more depressed I am, the better I am at boarding.And therefore , today, I sucked donkey b**** on my board. I was just too DARN happy.

OK.As I have sneaked, todays entry is about valentines' day.Speaking of which, my random thought from my last entry has caused alot of commotion, and perhaps this MAY indeed lead to two more people crowding the streets on that hallowed day of roses and over priced soft toys.Perhaps.Perhaps. Anyway, I think( from people I've seen and people I know), that there are 3 main groups of people on valentines' day.The happy, the sad, the couldnt care less.

The happy, are couples. La la la la la, I love paying for 25 buck roses, just so you can throw them away next week.why? Cause I lurveeeee you jeep jeep.(Jeep is lian-glish for deep)

The sad.Well, Its those people who feel they havent found the right one, and when they walk on down the street, they see couples and they feel sad. To these people, I say hold on! one must have faith yes?" It is better to wait for a great love that may never be, then settle for a love that isn't great. " - Mark (1989 -)

The couldnt care less.I raise my hand in this cateogory( yes ladies, I am single*wink*).There are people in this world who feel they are tired of relationships(not me) OR they havent found the right one and just wont settle for less (maybe me) OR have a skateboard (ME!). These people see couples, say how sweet it is and move on. I personally think...oh wait.this whole post has the word "me" in every sentence..heh.

So thats all for Valentines day! ha!

WAIT! one more thing. Whichever one of the above, it dont matter.What matters is, valentines day is a day not only for couples but also for friends..So on that day, in the midst of doing what people do on valentines day, wish a friend Happy Valentines' Day

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!( 1 week in advance)
