September 5, 2004 . lotr blends..
not sure why. I'm addicted to lotr blends again. xD

I made 2 today.

one of gorgeous legolas.. and the other of..... errrr.. more characters, but as you see, legolas is prominently featured. xDD

I am more pleased with the Legolas one. Not because he is sooo sexy.. , okay, he IS, but more so because of the movement that is projected, at the sides.. The other one.. is just a typically pretty blend. I like it.. but it's not that special.

September 19, 2004 . writing
I find it so hard to put words down nowadays. I guess, years of writing research papers, and technical analysis did this. Thus now, when it comes to descriptive writing, I know the meaning I want to bring forth, but just can't find the correct words to bring it to life again. So how should I rectify this?

well.. what I can't communicate in words, I tried to, in making these wallpapers.. so at least it is something. xD

Like the previews? then visit Imladris for one of these to adorn your desktop.

Btw, what's a GOOD php guestbook script. yeah yeah, I used megabook before, but the templating has always appeared clumsy to me, and the editing, oh gawd. php pages are easier to manipulate.

September 21, 2004 . Aye, a Cursed Day!
An exam today. What else do I have to say? How ever, can any day with an exam be good. Unless, that is, you get a surprise, and the exam is cancelled! or maybe you are just a genius who breeze through anything, even without mugging or studying in any sense.

What else. I started my period today. Of course, a period isn't anything special. But starting it on your exam?!?! *hugs my tummy* ow.

To make it worse. Guess who ran out of PADS? And since I was busy mugging, I didn't exactly feel like running to the store. So I used a tampon, which hurts, because, seriously, who uses one on the day it comes.

But anyway, apparently, my blood loss isn't sufficient. because just before I started typing this entry, I found my knee covered with blood and I didn't notice. and it's not just a small cut. It was like a torrent of blood! No kidding. Somehow, I managed to cut myself with a sliver of glass, that some how, got onto my bed, but it was so small that I didn't notice. Gee.. Staining your bed, when you have a period, even though the stain isn't from your period?

Out! out! damned spot! *laughs* I find it so amusing. Really.

Anyway, there's an assignment due tomorrow. Oh Joy.

Don't I sound so chirpy in this post?

Anyway, for those that call Elijah ugly as a girl. I think otherwise. Below is my proof. Thank you. Why do I keep using vicki? Do i have a grudge against her or something?

I love vicki. <3 just happens because of that, I happen to have some of her pictures on my comp. xDD and her face shape is most similar to Elijah.

September 27, 2004 . LOTR Pixels
Heh.. I started making the LOTR pixels today.. xDD




I made legooo look bad. So disappointing. For Aragorn it was easier. *doodles all over his face* xDD It's definitely easier to draw a man with a face of whiskers, than an elf, who has to look graceful and yet masculine at the same time. *sigh* I have to go fix it up! I won't give up until it's perfectttt! because it's legolas.. XDD Hehe, I tried to follow all the details for their clothes. ^^ Hmm, haven't decided how I shall animate them yet. It must be something easy, yet not boring.

Nowadays, I don't really feel like talking to people online anymore. The more I talk to them, the more I realise how many of them are actually just angsty posers. The more you talk to them, the more you realise they will never ever wake up from their dreams. Seriously, if your life sucks, fix it. You won't get away with anything, just by sitting around and complaining, whining and dreaming away.

I don't talk about my problems online, because I realise that no matter who I talk to online, and what advice I get, ultimately, the only one that can help myself, is myself.

And of course, online, most people are totally fake to the core. They will be "OHHHHH. I'm so sorry". What is there to be sorry about. When people say stuff like that, it is obvious that they don't really want to think about what you said about your problems, and instead just say a "comforting" phrase to placate you. Urgh. I'm sick of saying things like that, instead of saying what I really want to say, to shut the fuck up about your crappy life, and actually doing something to help yourself.

Speaking of annoying people. There is one person on DMB who is pissing me off. bad. What do people not understand about powerposting? Powerposting is posting ALOT of meaningless posts. Gee.. a current event about.. a kindergarten student made to bring his.. feces home? OMG, guess what, yesterday when I was out, I saw this man scooping up his dog's poop and bringing it home. *rolls eyes* That is such an amazing current event.

Who on earth will actually care about that in any fucking way? Ah well, at least i'm not the one who relies on the current events to get my daily news. Any news on http://news.google.com/ is more than pageworthy than any of those STUPID poop or.. duct-taped pants news. Does that means that I have to post every single news article there? GEE. YES OF COURSE. *powerposts*

anyway, this is an interesting read though.
Shouldn't we get a vote?
This is a good paragraph
Today, people far from America's shores do indeed pay for the consequences of US actions. The citizens of Iraq are the obvious example, living in a land where a vile dictatorship was removed only for a military occupation and unspeakable violence to be unleashed in its place. The would-be voters of downtown Baghdad might like a say in whether their country would be better off with US forces gone. But they have no voice.
How true indeed.

and this British Muslims on mercy mission
It's amazing how compassionate people can be. Without a doubt, after the september 11th incident 3 years ago.. Muslims in western society, must have felt somewhat octracised by their countries.
Despite being a christian, I always believe that religion, no matter what faith it is, is usually good. It's only when leaders(both religious and political) warp and twist religion for their own purposes and benefits, that's when it starts going wrong.

September 28, 2004 . In need of tropical heat
Remind me, never to go to the beach, except during summer. earlier today, I was "swayed" by my friend, to go to the beach. I haven't been to the beach in ages, and really, the beaches in Sydney are so just GORGEOUS! You never get to see such lovely beaches in Singapore. Or Malaysia.. [off topic]Even Orlando likes the beaches in Sydney XDD[/off topic] Thus, I can't resist the temptation of the sand and sea. Hmm, actually it's the skies that does it for me really. I love to lie on the beach, not doing anything else (as I'm lazy), but just staring up at the skies, looking at the horizon, and just day dreaming. But seriously, going to the beach for the sky? It sounds.. rather weird. XD I'm not going to talk more about this.. because.. it's embarrassing, and I don't like embarrassing stuff about myself. But let's just say, part of it involved chasing after a flyaway sarong skirt. That you were wearing. Seconds ago. Er. Yeah. Not to mention how "freezing" cold it was.

Starting from tomorrow. It's back to grunt work again for the ever-hardworking me. Yes, do roll your eyes at that. I have three group assignment meetings on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday respectively. Wow, I feel so energised by thinking about the assignments. Seriously. This is sarcasm in it's lowest form, fyi. *sigh* I keep thinking about graduation, YET I doubt I can even get past the last 3 months of school. I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT A SEMESTER.. *kills myself if I do*

Really, I think I will. If I have to repeat. It's really ridiculous how badly I take failure in my stride. Even though I don't want to, or don't bother to excel in anything nowadays, as it's no longer a goal for me, unlike my earlier overachiever self, that had been hammered in me, as a dysfunctional student of Singapore education system. I still can't take failure well when I don't expect it. I mean, getting kicked out of RJ was expected. *cough*not going to school for 3 months. What do you expect?*cough*

Bah.. let's talk about something else, instead of gripes about school. I mean, what else can there be about school, except complaints. XDD I went shopping the other day, and bought 3 juicy tubes. Okay. Juicy tubes are expensive here. $40 per tube. That makes it $120 splurged on useless stuff, as my mum will say. Not to mention what else I bought.. *winks* I need to stop being such a spendthrift. So no more shopping for me. Window shopping is such a damper on shopping, which is one of my favourite activities. XDD But anyway, when I see something that I like, even if it cost.. maybe.. $200 for a top, I can't help but to buy it. I cannot window shop only, despite my attempts to do so. Probably a support group such as shopaholics anonymous will be good for me.

EDIT //

BTW, I'm thinking of a new layout for my Tabulas.. Not because I'm sick of Lego.. I'm not.. XDD actually, if i make a new layout, it will probably be of orlando or something.. xD but I'm sick of staring at times new roman.. XD.. haha, maybe I should change the font to something san-serif. like my favourite. Trebuchet Ms of course. Yes that will be a good idea. *changes*

September 30, 2004 . Sushi Spectacles?!?
As I was telling Cinie earlier, I was reading the news on google, and just really being random, i typed sushi in the search box, and guess what I came up with. Sushi Spectacles!

German company has invented a pair of glasses that come apart to double as chopsticks.

The 'sushi specs' have detachable arms that can be used to eat traditional Japanese food.

Those who aren't adept at using chopsticks can have forks attached as an alternative.

Designer of the glasses Ralph Anderl says he came up with the idea after noticing that eating on the go was becoming increasingly popular.

"The idea came from the common need for cutlery at any time. Nowadays people don't have time to stop and eat lunch in a restaurant, they want to eat while they're walking to their next job," said Mr Anderl.

The spectacles can be made into prescription glasses for the long or short sighted, or be turned into sunglasses for those who want to eat outside.

"The glasses have been a particular hit in Japan," said Mr Anderl, runs Berlin-based company Ic!Berlin.

The frames of the glasses are made from lightweight stainless steel and fit together without the use of screws.

Unfortunately once the arms have been removed the glasses cannot be worn until the chopsticks have been reattached - making eating for the visually impaired a little tricky.

But that hasn't stopped the sushi specs, which cost £180 a pair, from flying off the shelves across the globe.

"We sell hundreds of frames across Europe, the US and Japan every day," says Mr Anderl.


Oh joy, so excuse me if I don't look at you while I eat, I seriously do not have a clue where you are sitting, because I'm as blind as a bat. Okay, I know people come up with weird ideas all the time, but really, taking off your glasses just to eat? gee. how smart. What if you accidentally ate an insect or something, just because you can't see! xDD

And really, even with your chopsticks or forks or what soever washed, will you want those THINGS near your hair?

In that case, I have an even better products for girls. the ultimate chopsticks hairstick! just use two chopsticks and use them to hold up your bun of hair!

unfortunately, your bun will come loose when you want to eat, but never to fear, it will just give you more excuses to make yourself look better after that. Furthermore, that tousled look is always in, regardless of whether you are eating, sleeping, working.

Also, the extra layer of grease on your chopsticks after eating, despite scrubbing them with heavy-duty detergent, will really give your hair a nice sheen. No more hot oil, olive oil or.. hair serum! just your average multi-tasking chopsticks will do the trick!

Hmm.. one other thing, I joined a bunch of cliques today.. haha, influenced by neko. also, as the epitome of boredom.. I took a bunch of quizzes.. as displayed here xDD Hmm.. .my husband generator turned out to be Elijah, whom I had been manipulating into a girl over the past week or so.. so is that suggesting something to me? lmao xDD

By the way,
ROTK EE IS COMING OUT! and just before christmas too! Will be a good idea to get someone to buy it for me as a present.. muahahha!!! xD!

When the Harry potter movie, and the Fellowship of the Ring were first screened. I had a friend who told me that the Harry potter movie was evil, and she won't watch it. Being amused, I asked for the reason naturally, and gee, harry potter is the manifestation of the devil because they use magic! and cast spells. So I asked her why on earth did she watch the Lord of the Rings movie then.. and she told me that, the LOTR movie was not evil.

Wow, there is such a great difference between the evilness of LOTR and HP, i guess. Considering that Gandalf did cast spells, ie. when he lit the fire on the mountain with a phrase, or he said that he once knew every word in middle earth that is used in spell casting, I really wonder if she fell asleep in the movie theatre and is refusing to admit it.

Today, I came across this article, while reading Christianity today Saint Frodo and Potter Demon.

I'll just pick out a paragraph
So why does Frodo get a pass while Harry is demonized? Perhaps it is because Tolkien is a safe, dead, white male who taught at Oxford and helped C.S. Lewis become a Christian. He is one of us. Whereas Rowling is a divorced mother who only mentioned she was some kind of Christian when Christians starting attacking her. Perhaps it is because Christian parents get very anxious about things that so stir our ideals but do not come from our pews, like the Harry Potter craze and the Star Wars phenomenon before it. I do not know.

Now, let me check, we are in the 21st century right? Not stuck in.. the third age, where the women and children have to flee to the hills (although Eowyn proved them all wrong!) It's ridiculous how this idiocy will still continue persisting in the world. I'll bring up the issue of the terrorists wanting the women prisoners to be released? Now, come on, if you can research on Anthrax and the what not, I will think that you will be tough enough to be in jail.

Anyway, here is an article that Gracie posted on DMB recently. I really question the sanity of the writer.

Harry Potter? What Does God Have To Say?
So, another amusing paragraph I found...
As a former witch, I can speak with authority when I say that I have examined the works of Rowling and that the Harry Potter books are training manuals for the occult. Untold millions of young people are being taught to think, speak, dress and act like witches by filling their heads with the contents of these books. Children are obsessed with the Harry Potter books that they have left television and video games to read these witchcraft manuals.

OH NOOOO.. the children! they are actually READING! instead of being stuck in front of the television to be a couch potato.. or straining their eyes over video games where they kill one another, to read a book! *gasp* it is so wrong to read. I would have thought that reading, no matter in what sense, will actually better a person, instead of them watching tv, or playing video games all day long.
And television and video games are better? Why.. I wonder, when was the last time the author actually watched tv? or played a video game?

Television, or mass media, is the source that led little kids to learn to kill with guns, learn to rape other little kids, or adults.
A 13-year-old boy raped a 9-year-old girl. Twice.
An 11-year-old boy raped a 76-year-old woman.
Do you think that they will learn about sex from a book? (well, if it's a sex manual, but I doubt that they will KNOW how to read it at a young age) But on television, or on the internet? Porn and movies with gore, murder, and sex are all over the place. Even if a movie has a high rating that prohibits kids from watching them in theatres, they can always download it online? Or if their parents leave a tape lying about, they can always watch it.
And video games, or computer games.. Diablo.. Counterstrike.. Need I say more?

Anyway, some random loved.
