I didn't think I'd update so quickly again, but found things to write about, so here goes:

As I type this entry now, there's a slight drizzle over the estate. Skies are fuzzily grey and overcast, humidity's slightly intolerable and it's COLD.

In other words, winter-Singaporean-style has arrived, and it SUX BIG TIME.

*Grumble grumble grumble* i want my sunshine, blazing hot weather and bright blue skies again...... *huddles herself with her PC*

Quet has also asked me whether I wanna go Taipei to visit Nauhz at the end of the year... ( Nauhz, if you're reading this, I wonder if Quet has told u about it yet ) Still thinking about it, though weather in Taipei is not very encouraging as well..... 16 to 23 deg Celsius last I checked........ *shivers*

Go sue me. I want my blazing hot sun.

Other drama in my life: I recently became entangled as a supporting actress in the love life of some guy of whom I'm not even close to anyway. Like how the heck did that happen??? ( Sorry, no details on this to preserve anonymity ) The story as I know it resembles some HK drama right now and this idiot went and pulled my name into it for something I did of which I didn't even tell him I did it.

Makes sense? No? Then you're not one of those meant to be in the know. Sorry bout that guys... :p

Suffice to say that seeing how other's lovelifes get so entangled.... and how it sux being single for so long....... Ok the whole notion of LOVE is crazed anyway. Someone should just suck all the hormones out of us right now and save the whole human race a buncha emotional wrecks.

Movie I've watched: Alexander, courtesy of Slayer, whom due to a bout of food poisoning was unable to go, so I went in her stead.

My main thought: BORING. BORING BORING BORING. The whole movie I was waiting for the plot to get on and get exciting already or for someone to die, just so that I'd be mildly interested in the next few minutes.

For a guy who was known as Alexander the Great, he certainly wasn't very great in this movie. Throughout the show, he was portrayed as a father-hater-mother-lover, a pure, virtuous homosexual, [something about how the love between men, if it doth spur them on to do greater deeds, is noble and pure above all else] a mother-hater-father-lover, a powerhungrymonger and a guy with secret theatrical longings.

Yea, theatrical is right. Throughout the whole movie, the performance of Alexander reminded me of an actor hamming it REAL badly on stage, but yet persisting through his bad performance, convinced he was glory personified, while the audience booed and threw rotten vegetables on stage. He was sooooo bloody dramatic in every speech to his men, going on about glory, dying for your king and all that I just gagged and rolled my eyes every time he spoke.

And the battles..... gack. Compared to LOTR, the battles in this movie resembled two catty bitches going at each other with painted finger nails.

Are my film tastes getting too high? Or am I just sick of this Hollywood grandeurish-epic rubbish?

Anyway, it's not a bad movie. It's just a damn boring one. I can't remember the last time I sat down to a movie, only to keep checking my SMSes halfway and checking the watch to see when the movie was likely to end. Bleargh. I was actually half-relieved when Alexander died at the end. Good god, it's finally about to be over.

High points of the show? The trailer for Phantom of the Opera before the movie looked pretty good. At least they used the Andrew Lloyd Webber version, with the songs intact, and the quality of music sounds pretty decent too. Will probably go watch it when it comes out.

And for the last time: DO NOT WATCH ALEXANDER.

Quick summary of my life till now:

1. Too much time on my hands always = Too little time to do anything. It's amazing how you're supposed to be soooo free, but yet you end up rushing from one appointment to another, or doing one thing after another. Weird huh?

2. Freehand MX is driving me nuts. Anchors and vectors are careening all over my screen, and I have no way to make them go EXACTLY the way I want them to. Makes me wanna just throw the whole thing outta my hard drive and stick to my good ol' pencil and marker. Only thing is that I paid a damn lot for that CD so........... :p

3. I made a couple more bucks with my Cafepress store! *ka-ching* All to the grand total of....... $8 ever since I opened them up. *sweat* Probably due to the holiday rush coming up...

But I did open up another one:

which I put my regular illustrations on. We'll see how this store does in 2005.

4. I'm also almost already to launch GTS in 2005. I have about 3 months worth of strips all scanned in, waiting for letters to be put in, and then I can start displaying them on the website. *Yay!* I discovered that I work best in waves of inspiration, so now, whether the thought strikes me, I sit down and frantically sketch out as much as I can, so that I can rest easy for the rest of the time. Beats me how I'm gonna continue this ontop of my tuition though. :p

Incidentally, I'll probably launch the comic in JAN 2005. Sure the art sucks, and the jokes stink, but give it time, yah? ;p

5. All in all, as I said, Too Much Time = Too Little Time. My 2005 resolutions: To show more commitment to any projects I start, and to kick myself in the arse more to push myself to complete those projects. Bleah. The blog may be a little quiet for now, while I continue kicking myself in the arse, so just stay tuned, yah? Regular programming will continue......

Quick Bite:

Sometimes I wonder at what some people can come up with to sell:
