The bunch of us went to Esplanade last night and we watched Deb Fung perform a couple of songs, not my style of music but Joash seemed to enjoy her a lot, too bad she's married in Australia. Aii, Joash, concentrate on more important things ok?



This is her and the band. Mmm quite pretty right? Behind her is Fabian Lim, the saxophone man, who was quite bored for most parts of the performance until he came in and did his solo. Throughout his performance, I kept thinking of "sexy music" which is an inside joke between Mianmian and I because of the kind of music that is played in low-grade TV series whenever something erotic (or supposed to be) happens.



The moon was beautiful yesterday, so much potential for a good shot but all I had was a lousy camera and really shaky hands. Go ahead and make the obvious joke about why my hands shake.

Anyway, it's our one week break now, finally. We so deserve it, working quite hard for the past few weeks to complete our assignments. Naturally, I was more excited than usual during the last day of school.



Doesn't Junxian (our friendly but doesn't-look-so residential Beng) seem to be thinking "Wah lao eh, stupid law lecture, waste my time only. KNCNNABCBBC. I come here to study creative media design then they lecture me on simi law. Nao hia eh."



Marketing lesson in the morning was quite boring so I took Rina's O Darling tissue paper's packaging to play with.



This is O Darling if she's some kind of werewolf.



O Darling if she's a bear. A very cute bear if I must say so.



O Darling if she's Mr Lau, our Design Thinking lecturer. Also looks like Gordon Freeman of Half-Life and Half-Life 2 fame.



O Darling if she's a dirty 5 dollars whore. Looks very 1930s cabaret girl right? Sorry if I have made you all jealous with my ridiculously magnificent drawing skills.

I can cook as well as I draw! I tried making pasta today, with a can of tomato sauce, some mushrooms, green capsicums, hot dogs and peas.



But I got a little overzealous while adding water and it ended up looking like pasta in tomato soup. Ah hah, pasta in tomato soup it shall be. Now I know how chefs come up with new dishes, just screw up existing ones.

One of the best typo errors ever, only DCMD people will get it.


Eh, not so funny already ah. Guess it's that kind of "You just had to be there when it happened" thing.

Nastiest small injury ever.
I was cutting mounting boards in the studio when my left index suddenly felt funny, then I lifted it up to my eye and saw a nice little flap of flesh dangling off the finger. I forgot what I did but I think it was quite funny if someone else witnessed it.

I RAN out of the studio into the toilet and ran it under tapwater, shouting like "ARRG FUCK" along the way. Weird right, my first reaction was "WATER! Cold rainy day tapwater! On my freshly-cut flesh!". Hurt quite a bit of course, don't know where I got the strength to tahan the pain. Luckily Eugene and Andi came into the toilet and told a lecturer (Miss Huei) about it and she ran (yes, RAN) down to get a first-aid kit. I was squeezing the finger so hard to numb the pain till my (healthy, non-bleeding) hand got numb as well, Joash then came in and did the squeezing for me. Must be quite a sight for him right, can see the dangling flesh flapping around in the running water.

Then we got the antiseptic and bandaging part done and another lecturer, Mr Lau fetched me, Joash and Miss Huei to this clinic in Holland V. Not exactly the nearest ah but the doctor was pretty good. I had to get a anti-tetanus (i said anus lol) injection and when he was about to administer it, he stood about half a meter away. I said something like "Erm, why you standing so far away?", I was so worried that he needed the extra distance for a running start before stabbing me with the needle. Turns out he used some funky way to flick the needle into me but it didn't hurt like injections were supposed to. Wow it has been a long time since I've gotten a jab. Then my finger got bandaged up and it would probably take a week to heal, according to the comfortingly-optimistic doctor.



That's the poor guy. He's pretty ok but his friends are all laughing at his because he's all fat and mummified now. I have no idea what prompted me to write that. Now I can't type properly and the right index finger has to bear all gold-digging responsibilities now.

But that's not important. I have to thank the people whose names are mentioned above. Except for Andi, who basically came into the toilet and said "Ohmigod". No la, I kid I kid. Leon and Shang (two more lecturers) called after the clinic trip to ask about my condition. Nice lecturers I have right? Thanks to everyone.

On a very different topic, I have a couple of links to might interest you all.
Nice site with free fonts, for those who might need them
A little screwed up but there are some aweome surreal photo manipulation work here (NOT WORK-SAFE)

Stupid penknife.

Okay, lazy to actually blog in words, so I have these to entertain you instead.

My trademark thigh hair. Also known as "The Oasis" Yes, that's hair on one thigh and none on the other.


This is VINTAGE DCMD humour. Wrestling + sexual innuendos.


OK, the craze's going a little too far. This is from a Marina shopping centre toilet.


Me showing off my skill of turning a piece of blue opaque paper into a transparent one in a matter of seconds.


GangHao admires Rina's pose while Joash is investigating rumours of his neighbour upstairs who doesn't wear pants.


Three morons.


Trademark (not vintage though) DCMD humour, we push someone, we giggle like faggots. I like how I say "sorry" near the end.

Who says design students must be serious, artsy fartsy types? Or maybe because we don't qualify to be design students. Quite sad eh?

Oh oh anyway, about that iRiver skin design competition mentioned in the previous post, my skin didn't get selected. These got selected instead. Hey, more power to them. I voted for design 8, it's the only one that doesn't look like ass. Design 4 makes me want to perform hara-kiri for losing to it.

So bitchy, can't stand myself.

I think I'm damn cheapskate.
NTU held a design competition, which ended 1 day ago, so yesterday, I went back home and immediately started working on it. The prize was a iRiver H-10 player. DAMN NICE RIGHT? The sound's very good too, from my experience with my oooollllddd iRiver 128MB player. I still remember, that guy costed me $320 2-3 years ago. 320 dollars for 128MB.

OK anyway, this is my entry for the abovementioned competition.

The pink stripes attack again! Yah, I know some areas are very empty but I couldn't find anything to fill them up. I think this skin would look quite ugly on the player but anyway...

I'm happy with it, considering how ill I was when doing it. A very good excuse to use if I can't win the competition. A very good thing to brag about if I somehow win it. Hoho. If I somehow win it...wow, finally I can annoy the working class people on the daily morning train ride with my loud and stupid music again.

Speaking of big fishes (I didn't, I just needed a way to link the previous paragraph to this one),
what the..fish. I read about it at another news source, and apparently when the news of this giant motherfisher reached the scientist people, our friendly Thai friends have already ate the whole damn thing up. Can't blame them also, they're Asian, for god's sake. When we see something as huge as this, the first thing that comes to our mind is "Fried or steamed?"

Then, we also have people who do things like this. Amazing skills but I hope they've heard of cameras before. Btw, am I the only one who thinks that the guy on the left looks like Ryan Stiles from Whose Line?
