夏祭り 2010

It been an annual affair of me going for the JAS natsu matsuri at the japanese school, being there for the 4th time, the effect of the matsuri is wearing off that i need to go for the real ones in japan SOON!

I <s>dragged</s> met up with  juila and headed down to the japanese school and well it was fun but alot of food got sold out quite early this year although there were way less crowd comparing to the last 3 years that i went.

Still was it was fun to hang out with friends and catching up with some folks that i have not met up for SOME SOME LONG time lol * like gerald* and i still did not bump into some people that i was supposed to find lol.

the rest of the pics are on my facebook so go and find them there.

I have Moved!

Yes from today whattheflush will move to http://whattheflush.posterous.com/ from whattheflush.blogspot.com.

Well the blogspot one will still be auto updated from my posterous but i will be posting on posterous for now.

Moodlessdays.wordpress.com will still continue on wordpress coz i feel lazy to move it to posterous as i gotten use to wordpress for a photoblog...

burnt, tired and blocked

Mistaken thoughts from beyond the sky
A life spent saying goodbye?
The little piece of the future I saw
Was waving goodbye

The small room I once lived in
Is now occupied by someone else
The horrible things I said to you
The days that were wasted

Perhaps if I'd taken that chance, if I could go back to that day
But I'll never be that person again

Even if that frail happiness
had somehow lingered on
A bad seed would surely have sprouted
So I guess this is goodbye

The cold cans of coffee from freezing winters
That long rainbow coloured scarf
I stroll through the back alley
It all comes back to me

Even if that frail happiness
had somehow lingered on
A bad seed would surely have sprouted
So I guess this is goodbye

I guess

Goodbye, that's enough
You can cope anywhere
Goodbye, I'll manage somehow too
Goodbye, that's what I'll do

well i been feeling that way for the past few weeks. but well i go and continue to move on.

Been quite burnt out with the final learning semester in school. aft this 15 weeks, i will be on to do my Final year project, which as it looks like is a Short Stereoscopic 3D film, which i am the producer coz no one else want to take the job and well the class think i am the best for the job.

I know i was trying to avoid all these extra stress, but ya at least my name will be on it that i produced that 3D short film. But before it starts, I have alot of shit to finish especially my Visual effects portfolio... which sadly is too thin that my Photography one beats it. But really after this year, i dunnoe what will i be doing. Going Uni? singapore or UK? or NZ? or USA? what course am I going for? continue on my Photography? or stick to Visual effects? speciallise in Compostiting? work on AE? maya? go and be a matchmover? I really dunnoe, thinking too much and creating a path in my head is kinda making me tired till the point i just want to stay at home and just lie on my bed and stare at that blank white ceiling with the fan spinning away in this heat.

I really dunnoe what i am doing, for all my life i been jumping around, never staying put. Never speciallizing in something. From the time of scouts to swimming to robotics to photography to cosplay to filmming to fashion photgraphy, they some how are interlinked but yet they are separate genre to me. I every 3 years i move, it is going to take a toll soon, and it looks like it is coming.

I just need a break or someone to guide me. or i should just go on a long trip and disappear for awhile. I dunnoe, i just dunnoe. i Just dun want to spent a life just saying goodbye.

new hair do

It been what a year plus since i uploaded a photo of myself on my blog. so ya here is me... anyway i am more active on my twitter and on moodlessdays.wordpress.com. or even my facebook

Islands

-----------------
I don’t have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spent my nights and days before
Searching the world for what’s right here

Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn’t over look

I am yours now
So now I don’t ever have to leave
I’ve been found out
So now I’ll never explore

See what I’ve done
That bridge is on fire
Go back to where I’ve been
I’m froze by desire
No need to leave

Where would I be
If this were to go under
It’s a risk I’d take
I’m froze by desire
As if a choice I'd make

I am yours now
So now I don’t ever have to leave
I’ve been found out
So now I’ll never explore

So now I’ll never explore
