drink rum and come along with us

This is a really short placeholder after a week of F!rosh.
It was an awesome week.
But now assignments have made their appearance, so I will go entertain them. Photos are up on fb btw.

Mu! mu! mu! mu! mu! mu! mu!
Feel the friction feel the heat!

Here's a picture of Chestnut food to fill space:

Freshly cooked pasta every day!
You pick out add-ins at a salad bar styled table, bring it to the lunch ladies, choose a pasta & sauce and they cook it right in front of your eyes :] It's a huuuuge portion too.

^(tower of god: affectionately known as chestnuts to floor guardians)
hence the pun for me moving into res.

All finished packing; one year in 2 suitcases, 2 cardboard boxes, and a large bag. Brought 3 stuffed animals (rabbit, mickey and mocha) in case I'm as emotional tomorrow as I am now.
Ughhh.
On one hand, I've been anticipating this day since middle school haha. Being an grown up university student, with the freedom of living on my own, having the greatest time of my life (supposedly), etc etc. But right now I just feel that I'll miss everything and everyone too much. Was pretty upset at the movies (Premium Rush, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt!) yesterday because it would be months before I saw some of them again. And today my mom gave me a letter with feelings & advice for my "adult" life, had a hard time holding my tears in while reading that (crying in front of people is awkward...).

See I'm not a robot.
Though I saw this video and felt a lot better:

look how they shine

Filling in while I pack/work.

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know you know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know for you I'd bleed myself dry
For you I'd bleed myself dry

It's true look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for...
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine

Look at the stars look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do

roll roll roll

Thank you again to the amazing people known as my friends *u*

some broken rhyme

I really need to post up more Cowboy Bebop music, soooo happy that I found someone at UT eng that shares my love for the OST!



This one's from the movie, which has the most perfect opening and closing lines. I would quote it here, but it's really cheesy out of context, so instead here is the link to some amazing Bebop posters. I'll definitely be buying these once I obtain a credit card.

Met up with Patricia yesterday ;D

Went to an impromptu skin care/make-up consultation from Mary Kay. The lady was really bubbly and nice haha, contrary to our initial skeptism (direct sales are always sketchy seeming at first @_@). Their liquid foundation is really good, though I ended up bringing a lip mask home. Speaking of sales, I got called from Vector Marketing few days ago asking me to go in for an interview (referred by a friend). They are also a direct marketing company, except for (apparently really good) cutlery. Slightly sad that I had to pass up on the opportunity due to busy engineering schedule, would have gotten a high hourly rate and sales experience.
Back on topic, had fun catching up with Patricia over dinner. Gossiped, talked about future aspirations, listed ideals for guys... my conservations with people usually stay within these categories haha. She has everything figured out :]

We were also lamenting that we have not seen the shads since foreeeeever! It's hard to believe that it's already been more than a year. Harder to believe that no one organized an anniversary meet-up, well not really, they're all probably too busy being keeners, or traveling back to China xD
Coincidentally I got a message from Ramya when I got home haha. And Katie always randomly posts sweet messages :]
Ah last summer was so much more productive.

Found almost a complete scan of the Honey & Clover artbook on animepaper yesterday. Therefore I ended up spending way too long at night making some scans into wallpapers. Here's one that turned out pretty well:

Original scan,  evidently I didn't change much haha.
Mostly cloned some of the stars and had a bunch of layers with blending modes. Current obsession is with screen/colour dodge layers, it makes the colours all pretty and shiny *u*

Dark Knight Rises

I would totally transfer over to mechatronics if I got to work for Wayne Enterprise's R&D >_>" The Bat, the nuclear reactor (which is impossible), the wheels on Batman's motorcycle! The wheeeeeels! It's like a reverse gyroscope, it can spin in any eratic fashion while the motorcycle body remains stable. Also Anne Hathaway looks hot riding it :] Joseph Gordon-Levitt just looks hot, always.

So there were good action scenes, really nice far shots of Gotham City, and such touching dialog ;A; Lucius Fox and Albert. Omg especially Alfred, I literally teared up every time he spoke to Bruce Wayne. Though it was obvious that (SPOILER, though I must be the last person to watch the movie) Wayne was alive with the extensive scenes after the detonation. Did not expect the plot twist at all though, also confused as to how Miranda and Wayne got together so quickly (wasn't he hung up on Rachael all this time?)

One scene that was great is the one with the boy singing the Gotham (?) anthem on the football field. The contrast between his rather angelic voice and Bane standing there in the shadow is really effective.

3 hours well spent :]
and now I wait for Skyfall.
