Remembering Bronze

*All the pictures you see here were courtesy of Joanne Lim and Momoko Uchimura. I'm just (posing) in them. They provided me the images. ;)

Let the War Games, begin.


The Amazon.


The Peak.


At the peak, no one can see you pose.


On the Peak. :D

Rehearsals

Well, the Sports Rehearsals were okay this year... The main highlight for me? Tripping before sliding 10 feet in the mud. :)

Met some old buddies AND made some new ones. The list of names are probably too long to be even published here. From my experience, I gotta say, Damansarans are fun(ny). Plus, very entertaining.

I wouldn't say I did great for running, but along the way I made more friends, raced a few and jumped over a yellow pole suspended between two posts (without dropping it mind you). :D

Been practising on the drums since Wednesday, and let me tell you, my arms are like jelly now. Watch out Sports Day, something impressive is coming your way. ;)

Rekindled Relations

I found my distant cousins (Australia) and uncle (16 this year and in the UK)! All thanks to my buddy and pal, Facebook. Gosh, it does help.

This Is How It Begins.

So well, as most of you have heard/read, I've started drawing again. *Thank the Heavens.

My current focus is on the COG Trooper, specifically Sergeant Marcus Fenix, from the Xbox 360 and PC epic, Gears of War. Still clueless? Wikipedia's my recommended search engine. ;)

Here's what I've got so far. I won't be publishing new posts with updated renditions of Marcus Fenix, so just check back here for updates. Publishing new posts will merely waste space. :)

*It go in order from top to bottom. When it's finished, I'll put the finalized version on top. See, I do care.

Phase 1: Planning and Placing


Phase 2: Rough Form





Phase 3: Detailing and Modifying

Don't Bother Looking. He's Invisible.

HORTON HEARS A WHO!

Beautifully realised, entertainingly absurd and as true to the original as a feature-length expansion can be, this animated allegory gets the child in all of us to think big thoughts about small things.

My favourite quotes from the show:
*It's funnier heard than read. Trust me on this one. ;)

"In my world, everyone's a pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies."
*cue cute, adorable smile*
"That's... beautiful, Katie"
*the following action that takes place is so cute and freakishly freaky at the same time. Katie's just so adorable. :)*

"Horton is a giant elephant in the sky! Don't bother looking. He's invisible."

"Don't you see? We're in the middle of some amazing cosmic convergence. Two vastly different worlds miraculously crossing paths! MINE COLLOSAL. Your's minuscule. Yet somehow, we've manage to make contact. If you think about it, it's pretty amazing."
*the way he says it, is awesome. Jim Carrey was perfect for the part.*

"Hey, is everything okay down there?"
"You tell me, you're the one holding the spec."
"I'm the one holding the spec? *GASP* I'm the one holding the spec."

Utterly hilarious.

Of Prefects, Profects & Probates.

This post is dedicated to the wonderful Prefects' Board of Cempaka Cheras (Sorry, Damansara! I'll write one as soon as I get to know you guys!). They're a tough bunch of people that know how to handle the most unthinkable of situations. I speak from experience. They've lent a welcoming hand to those in need. Whenever I was down (or cramped up), a hand reached out, pulled me back up and gave me hope. The hand of a board that's so unified, they're considered to be of One Body, One Mind and One Soul.

Here are the names of all the Prefects, Profects and Probates of '08 and my view of them.

*Appreciate this. I took a friggin' long time to get this all done. ;)

A Paragraph of Commemoration - Kimberley Tan

This one's for a good friend of mine, Kimberley.

"Look up 'Best Friend' or 'The One (as she likes to put it)' in Wikipedia and you might probably see a picture and complete autobiography of Kimberley Tan. It's either that or you'll see the face of one very familiar sarcastic, funny and witty writer. So why should her name be up there? Loads of reasons. When you need someone to talk to, she'll be there. When you need someone to perk or cheer you up, she'll be there. When you need an extra quarter to buy a Milo Ice, she'll be there. Kimberley is someone that I'd classify as the perfect friend. She's been with me through thick and thin for about a year now and it's been friggin' awesome. There's nothing I've ever hidden from her and I'm planning to keep it that way. Even though it's only been probably a year and a half that I've known her, there's still years ahead waiting. Gonna be one helluva ride."

A Paragraph of Commemoration - Chin Siew May

Well, seeing as how I've already done a paragraph dedicated to someone already, and the fact that nothing seems to be happening to me nowadays, I shall begin once more writing these paragraphs dedicated to you wonderful reader. It shall be called "The Paragraphs of Commemoration", so look out for those titles and the name of the dedicate-ee behind it.

This one's to Siew May of Cempaka Damansara.

"Siew May. You probably haven't met this brilliant person. She's not exactly the biggest or tallest of people around here in Cempaka. However it is here where the saying "Big things come in small packages" shines the brightest. She's smart, participates in sports, pretty, friendly, talented on the violin and the list goes on and on. Trust me, I can write a book about all the great qualities she has and the great things she's done to this sarcastic, funny and witty writer. So if you don't know her yet, go out there (Cempaka Damansara) and look for "Chin Siew May." It may take awhile, but its entirely worth every millisecond you spend to look for her."

Bronze

So hey, I'm back from the Bronze Expedition and all I can say is, "Go for it." It was spectacular, amazing and awesome all rolled into one mountain climbing package. Really, stupendous. Met a few old friends, made some new ones. In short I had fun. Something I really needed.

My legs are (finally) getting better. Thank the heavens.

I've started abit of drawing. I'll post up some of them - when I do finish them. :P

Well, Sports Day is coming. Bet you all are looking forward to that. Gonna be pretty big this year.
