Time

Time.

It is something that is relevant to everyone.

People age with time. People forget in time.

Time affects everything.

Buildings, they demolish themselves into obliteration after being left for years,
decades, to be exact.

Metal rusts, trees fall, rivers dry up, only to be made anew.

I know, for I have experienced these things.

For me, time is irrelevant, for I have never aged.

No, I have seen Man's marvels. I have seen Man's foolishness.

The massacre of millions in 2 wars that almost brought the world itself into ruin.

Such idiocy, such foolhardiness.

But I am not alone. Time is irrelevant to others, too.

Just ask my friend, Eddy.

He, like me, never ages.

I enjoyed spending time with him. I enjoyed hanging out with his family.

Oh, such a lively bunch.

I loved playing baseball with them. Thunder always seemed to follow us whenever we played.

They were so hospitable to me. So kind. All 8 of them.

Eddy was never really fond of me calling him Eddy. His sister, Alice, loved it though.

She kept calling him Eddy in singsong. He wasn't amused. Then I started calling Alice as Ally.

Eddy laughed. Alice hugged me tightly. She loved it.

They all did.

Eddy, Emmy, Ally, Jaspy, Edmy, Rosy, Esmy, and Carly.

Edmy didn't like his too. It made him sound like a girl. The rest agreed, and happily called him Edmy.

It was nice, to be with them. I'll always remember them.

Especially Eddy Cully. He was a different guy altogether.

He and Emmy are such a cute couple.

Utter Cuteness


Here's a pic I think that would interest guys and gals who like Final Fantasy,
like Terry, Jsen, Seng Poh, Voon Keong and etc.
Even those who don't might find this funnily cute.

Click on the picture if you can't see it properly

And here's another pic for you anime fans out there.

Yes, Terry, that's Suzumiya Haruhi with Destiny Gundam's parts.
The guy took some parts of his Destiny Gundam and Blue Tack-ed them to Haruhi.
Crude, but very believable.
A salute to Danny Choo for this awesome job.


There's actually a real model of Haruhi in a Unicorn Gundam armor, Terry.
I'm not joking!


For those who doesn't know Danny Choo,
he's Jimmy Choo's son.
Yes, Jimmy Choo the famous Malaysian shoemaker.
Hey, he makes shoes for Hollywood celebrities, okay?
Even The Queen of England wears his shoes!
So did Michelle Obama during the Presidential Innaugaration!
Be proud man! He's 100% Malaysian!

Oh, Danny Choo is a very famous person among those who love Japanese culture.
Seen his site before, Terry?
Here's the link:

Danny Choo's Website


You can thank me now, Terry. So can the rest of you who love Japan.

More Cute-ness


I finished Photoshopping another image.
Once again, I didn't make the pic myself.
If I did, I'd be so happy...


Anyway, here it is. Or, here she is.

Credits go to the real artist of this pics, whose name I don't know.



So I colored it in 2 ways. Which do you guys think is better?
Seriously, leave a comment about which do you guys prefer.

If you hadn't noticed by now, she's actually a manga pic of Mozilla's Firefox.

Yes, she's Firefox personified.


Don't forget to leave a comment.
I promise to make my own pic from scratch and color it.

Trivial Matters

I had a lot of free time at the party yesterday.

I actually spent part of it on my laptop Photoshopping an image.



Here's the original by someone called nekki in Deviantart.






And here's the one I edited.

If you don't know, she's Ino from the original Naruto series. Cute, eh?

I edited out the bottom lip 'cause it looked a little unsightly.
My version makes it look like she's biting her lips, which is way hotter...

Terry, don't flame me for whatever reasons, kay?
I'm still new to Photoshop.

Oh, you're all welcome to take the line art (which means the earlier one) and edit it yourself.

High on Fun

The time is 6:33 a.m.

No, I didn't get up early.

I didn't sleep.

No one did, not at my place.
Well, except her. She's tired.

See, my parents decided to hold a semi-open-house, more like a gathering of sorts for this last day of Chinese New Year.
All my relatives came. Some of my parents' friends came too.

The whole thing started at about 7:30 p.m.
It went on with TV, cards and laptops.

All the adults, and some of the kids were busy gambling.
Then by 3 a.m some people left.

Still, almost 80% of the initial crowd is still here.
And some of the adults are quite high from the earlier beer and liquor.
They're a fun crowd.

She wanted to sleep, so she slept on the platform near the gambling table.
They were considerate enough not be too loud.
Then at about 3 a.m., she asked me to put a blanket on her.
I did, and the adults thought I was being a thoughtful gentleman.
I'm not disagreeing with them on that matter.

Now I'm next to her, blogging this entry as she's still dreaming.
She looks so cute when she's asleep.
This is the farthest I ever went without sleeping.
I think it's the same for the rest!

All I know is that all things considered, this is the best CNY party this year yet.
She's stirring now, just as the party's now ending.
Maybe I should wake her?
No, I'll leave her as it is. I'll let my princess rest.
It's the least I could do for her.

Oh, she woke up. An now they're leaving.
Sigh...She's so adorable even if she's groggy.
As she got up, I glanced at the mirror and looked at myself.
Will this face ever win her heart? When her heart already belongs to another?

I don't know. But as long as I can be close to her, even as just cousins,
It'll have to do. For now.

Wishes

She sleeps soundly behind me, oblivious as our elders hapilly enjoy their frivolous game of cards,
as the young ones gather by their laptops in a frenzy of DotA,
and I sit here, my back facing her as I feel the agony of trying to admire her innocent beauty,
to know if I had done so,
many eyes would bear witness, many thoughts and whispers will materialize,
that my unrequited feelings for my own kin, my cousin, still remain over the years, untainted.

Would she ever see me differently?
Does she know that I still harbor a longing for her?
Does she know that the reason I did so much for her,
was because I possessed a frail, subtle wish,
that she would look at me differently?

Everyone knew I was in love with her when I was younger. I was not subtle about my feelings.
Do they know whether I still feel for her?


It matters not now, I'm afraid.
She already belongs to another.
I could swear my eyes turn green every time I see them together,
so happy, so oblivious to my pain.
But...shouldn't I be happy for her?
Shouldn't I be content that she has found happiness,
instead of me just feeling hurt, left-out, and ignored?

But would she ever see me as someone worthy of her?
Would she ever see me as someone attractive? Someone who stands out?
I doubt so. Even if it pains me to see it this way. I doubt so.

My wishes go unheard. My desires go unfulfilled. My agony continues on.
Woe is me, for I am a lovesick fool, who cannot even look away from my own cousin.
I curse myself for feeling this way. Even if I have learned to let her go, bit-by-agonizing-bit.

Here I am,
in the midst of writing a fan novel about two cousins,
Ben and Gwen,
who became lovers.
I pour out all the feelings I felt, all the seemingly wrong emotions I have,
into this novel.
In a way, I am jealous.
Jealous by the fact the characters I have in my make-believe world are happier than I am.
Jealous by the fact that these cousins can show their love for one another,
while I remain here with these unrequited feelings.


I hate myself for this.
I hate myself for falling for her every time she smiles at me.
I hate myself for never prying my eyes off her every time I see her.
I hate myself for ever loving her.
