Finishing Touches

I'm seriosly tired-out,
and I wanna sleep.

But before I do, I want to post one final thing before I rest for today.


Me, wearing Terry's top-hat.
I don't know whether it suits me or not.
You be the judge.


Seriously.
Leave a comment about it.
I need to know.



And here's several pics of me and Jing Ting for today.

Both me & Terry dressed up in casual-formal
as some sorta theme,
so yeah, that's the reason I actually wore a shirt to college.



Seriously, almost everyone wanted to play with Terry's top-hat.
Even Jing wanted to do the M.J. thing by hiding her face.
I did something like that earlier too.




And I look kinda distasteful in those, don't I?
Low self-esteem issues here, remember?



And F.Y.I.,
she wanted to take some snapshots with me,
and not me insisting on it,
like some old acquaintances I know who would.


=)

Frozen Water

Wednesday was supposed to be my day-off.

Guess there's no rest for the wicked, then.

Went ice-skating today for the first time since I was
5 years old.

Weee~

It was something new, let me tell you that.

Those whom I know can skate always tell me one thing:
Falling is a necessity. It helps you to learn further.

I agree with it.
And that's why I don not feel embarrassed to say that
I fell about 5 times.

Seriously.

And I got blisters.
I'm talking about making my foot's skin peel off from skating,
and boy does it hurt...

Before you decide to skip the less acceptable parts,
met me make this clear.
My wound's a minor flesh wound.
No blood or bones or whatever gory nonsense that comes to mind.

So even as I sit here at 1.30 in the morning,
I can still feel the sore muscles aching against myself.

Why am I up so late?
I'm finishing up my CG (Computer Graphics)
work for Friday afternoon's class.

Here it is.



Basically all we need to do is trace an anime picture with the pen tool,
which can handle straight and curved lines if you know how to.

Sounds simple?

It isn't.

Let's just say it's a real taxing work, but nothing too hard that I can't handle.

But y'know what?

You think my art's good?

Wait till you see what some of my friends & fellow classmates can do.




This is Yi Pin's trace.
Yuna from Final Fantasy X-2.

Yes, he traced and colored this picture in.

With a mouse.

I took 4 layers in Adobe Illustrator to construct mine.
Know how many he took?

300+!!!

300-over LAYERS!!!

He told me that it took him several days,
amounting to over 24 hours in terms of time spent on this baby.

And to be honest?
She's beautiful.
Seriously!

He's simply a genius at this,
and honestly?

My self-esteem just took a nose-dive
that'll end up crashing into oblivion on
the cold, hard ground.

I suffer from low self-esteem issues often,
and this just amounted to a Hiroshima or a Nagasaki to it.

I don't know lah...

We're supposed to have a friendly competitive streak
with each other in class,
but the competition amongst some is just too great!


But I am truly thankful for one thing.
We're really like one family within CD0905-2.


What we lack as individuals,
we make up for it as a team.

Pain

It is late in the night,
that I, as worn as one could be,
stand here to ponder on thine fortune and favor.

It is dreadful to the heart,
to remain silent and still as I am,
never able to voice out thy feelings,
thy thoughts, thy desires...

Why?

Why must I suffer such an ailment as this?

Is true love so challenging, so much of an obstacle,
that it, as gentle and caring as it is embodied,
can be cruel and merciless in its strife,
that I,
from an age of but a mere boy,
suffered it's backlash one too many times often,
even when I was but a lad of tender youth.

It is thou,
my Eden,
that I desire.

Turmoiled am I, to desire someone so distant,
yet so loving, and just.

My feeling for you aren't that of any other soul,
or any other man that seeks you out.

Is it,
or is it not love that I feel?

Too early,
gravely early it is to tell.

Many brazen,
brazen but foolish youths would claim this to be love,
to think themselves deserving in your eyes for their feelings are genuine...

But no, they are not.

Oh, such sweet torment is this,
to not hear your words,
but see them clearly in my eyes,
to be able to glance upon them over and over again
as word plays for word in any form I wish...

But it is my wish to listen to you,
to hear your voice,
as fleeting or quick-hearted as it is,
that even if it may last for that ever-pacing moment,
it is your voice,
even that of waterfalls gently cascading down,
or choirs singing,
that even all those things,
are nothing compared to your melodious voice.


I stand here in the night, watching the night sky veiled in a blanket of stars,
and ponder if it is me you will ever think about,
as painfully impossible as it seems.


My Eden.
I need you with me.

Tease

A little teaser for Chapter 14

^^

Infidelity

When you find someone that you love,
and that person loves you back...

please, I beg of you all...

Don't cheat.

Don't
ever
cheat.

Temptation will always be there,
and it will be weak,
or it will be strong.

But you have to fight it.
Don't let your stupid feelings of one-night stands
or the vile thrill you might think you get
by having an affair,
get in the way of the one true relationship you have.

It would never turn out well.
Never.

Do you know how many relationships are ruined by this?
Do you really know?

Sure, many of you will say
"Bah, I'll never cheat. No way."

It's good, y'know, if you really mean it and such.



I just hope you can live up to that.


30 seconds from now,
or 30 years down the road that's known as Life.

Just stick with one course.

Straight.

Eden

For many moons I have known you,
of whom thy radiance is unparalleled,
understanding, kind, and just.

Thy words mean more
than the blades of men,
whose cold steel is nothing
in comparison to your resolute.

You are a garden,
untouched and protected
from the filth that is a man's touch.

Your flowers, as beautiful as they are,
bear thorns to shield you from these wretched men.
I have but made my way through said thorns,
only to find myself standing yet on the edges of the garden,
denied further entry as of yet.

It is not my place to intrude,
and neither is it the right of others.

Oh yes,
there are many that seek you,
only to reap the fruits
but not to appreciate the beauty within.

These half-breeds,
so acceptable in appearance as it seems,
yet vile and disgusting inside
that I, as a male myself,
know of their inner side,
what lies beneath their veil.

Maybe you do to.
Of great wisdom and intelligence,
your mind is as beautiful as everything else that you are,
that you can see them for who they are,
that you can hold your ground and distance against them.

It is my wish to help.
Oh, if only I could shun them away from you myself,
to shield you from whatever malice they have,
or make them taste the unforgiving wrath of cold, hard steel
as I will strike them down.

I may seem selfish, judgmental, prejudiced,
but it is because it is my duty to protect you,
even if you can do it so well by yourself.

I feel obliged,
duty-called,
honor-bound.

I pray to Him that it is His will that we have met,
seemingly coincidental as it was,
as we are both children under Him.

How is it that I never recognized you when we were so much younger?
How is it that your beauty, elegance and wonder
never caught hold of me then?

It matters not now, I fathom.

You are my Eden.

What I have for you is not a fleeting fancy,
not puppy love,
but something deeper than that,
my fair maiden.

It is hard to explain,
difficult to describe,
but it is real.


It is just as real as you are.

Patience

Okay

For those of you who have waited too long for Chapter 13,
here it is.

I'm really sorry to all of you, yeah.

Hope I'll have more time to update with Chapter 14.

Cheers, y'all.
