Goodbye World!

I've moved :)

The Million Dollar Homepage

So I had this little idea the other day. I was trying to think of interesting ways to make some cash before going to Uni (which is in about a month's time) and somehow this crazy thought entered my head: I'll try and make a million dollars, by selling 1,000,000 pixels, for $1 each. And so 'The Million Dollar Homepage' is born...

And now this guy is a millionaire. If only I thought of it first I wouldnt have to bother with scholarships and stuff. Maybe I should just quit working and bum around and think of million dollar ideas.

Once Upon a December

One month has vanished now where have I been? For now I've returned from my accidental hiatus. Hola!

December was a beautiful end to the year :)

Prom was surprisingly enjoyable albeit being a total ripoff with substandard food. I still congratulate myself for spending on nothing more than the neckless I wore :) I snapped 99 shots this time compared to the 300+ at the rgs prom. People generally become more apathetic as they grow older. Or maybe it was the guys ha.

I've had projects coming my way even though minglee.biz wasn't and still isn't anywhere near completion. And while everybody else was looking for a job I was offered a design attachment which also means that I get more say in terms of remuneration and length of contract. I need more creativity I need flash8 I need to learn scripting I need upgrading...

And driving is fun! First lesson and I was already hitting the roads around ubi. Still rather unfamiliar with the clutch-accelerator tango. I swear my instructor modelled his hair after phuachukang. But he's a nice guy.

The novelty of being around children wears out after you've done the same thing over and over for 6 years. I was helping out in the usual school holiday camps out of obligation and ohboy, kids these days are monsters. There was this 6yrold kid who spoke as if the fword was the first word he ever learnt and peeped at girls from under the table. The worse thing ever about peeping is proclaiming what you had seen and that was exactly what the little brat did. Geez little pervert. Then there was this other boy who knew how to run before he learnt how to walk he just kept zooming everywhere and was unstoppable.

Oh and handbell carolling this year wasn't that bad. Our esplanade performance has been recorded in their archives :)

But what made the month all so gratifying were the little gatherings with family and friends. It's like your whole life in summary meeting everybody in succession and recalling the old times and laughing and drinking along with it. And then the month ended with a bang. With many bangs in fact.. the fireworks were magical.
As I always say it's never the place or event, but it's the company that matters :)

And so that's december in a nutshell.

Have a great 2006 everybody!l

Just As I Am

I’ve had a lot of big dreams
I’ve made a lot of bad moves
I know you could walk away
But you never do

I’ve met a lot of cold hearts
I’ve learned to smile and deceive
I know I’m hard to be around
But you never leave

I’m not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand
And you say you love me
Just as I am

Beautiful

While the whole world was sleeping, the magic began.

Now I'm playing so hard I'm even more tired than during the Alevels, coming home only for sleep. Amazing really it feels like it's been 3 months after As already. I love my life :) :)

Boing

We all need a childhood friend to remind us of how young we all once were.. Despite constant reminders and occasional revelation of how fast we are getting on in years. But whatever happens, talking about it just makes you all young again :)

One Last Shot

For the first time in my life I can say fmaths was easy thankgod.

And I admit I have this shameful aversion for checking answers after papers. No point really since you can't change anything. The only thing I can possibly do after knowing the right answer is to worry and regret which is really not my thing. Got to move on.

And before we know it it's all over I really hope we kicked some Alevel ass! So many things to look forward to right after :)
