Hershey's
on Wednesday, January 28, 2009
at 4:12 PM  Hey guys. How are yall. Been eating well?  My stomach growled back at me at midnight. So i replied. Come on guys, let's go down for some supper.  I was talking to the acidic ions in my tummy as I descended down the stairs to the kitchen. I turned the corner into my open-door kitchen and in the semi-darkness, faded glows bounced off the kitchen wall tiles from the dining hall light and I could just about make out the outline of the kitchen cabinet handles. I was looking forward to some loose pineapple tarts that got rejected off the manufacture line here earlier in the day, but my reflexes took my hands up to the beverage powder section with all the milo and nescafe and oats.  I probed around the tins and boxes and came to a newly unidentified box. Thinking it was a box of above-average candy or snacks, I eagerly turned to the light switch across the room. Flipping on the switch, I frowned confusingly.  The whole time as I made a cup of this ingenious hot and steamy creamy cocoa beverage, I was just gazing at the box. Staring and staring at what seems nothing but an out-of-this-world product title about which I would just love to ask the Hershey's Committee who initiated this product line, "WHAT THE HELL WERE ALL OF YOU THINKING?!?!?!"  "well, we were working late, and boss called the meeting adjourned. We gave each other our corporate nightly hug, and that's when it sparked." For 5 days, I've been just flabbergasted at what kind of names companies can give their products. But throughout, I've learned a valuable lesson on this issue, and that is the thing about the uniqueness of the human brain.  It can only churn up more and more outrageously weird product names. I mean, you'd never know, one day you'll be entering 7-eleven for an instant beverage formula and this is what you buy.  Forecast: Hershey's and Durex may have some issues with each other.

at 11:03 AM I have to admit, procrastination is my worst enemy and it has a way of uncovering all the lessons embedded in the pores of life's gravelled path.
I have no one else to apologize but to myself. I'll be back soon to let you know I'm still alive. In the mean time, I've got my usual acca progress tests on we'd and thu, and then my results for last semester arrive on Monday. (Posted from my phone)

Introvert
on Friday, January 09, 2009
at 2:58 AM  You know, there was one night, My brother and I, we had some TTDI Jasima Mee Goreng cravings, so we headed out at about 1am. Driving at night, in the middle of the night, quiet serene starry night... HUNGRYYY NIGHT LAR BASICALLY, I was just looking forward to my lovely steaming Mee Goreng with the yolk oozing out from the Telur Mata, so I was just minding my own business on the wheel, looking out for passing headlights, signalling the indicators quietly...  And every few seconds my brother... okay this is my brother who is your biggest HEROES fan, who knows all about what torrents are the best to download, which torrent sites are most consistent and effective, and within the series, he knows which hero is where at when, what Arthur Petrelli is constantly thinking about, where Hiro puts his glasses when he sleeps, and which episode Mohinder had a slight hair trim and light shave. Yea anyway. So every few seconds, my brother would ask me a some random question or tell me some outrageous fact like that he did with his friends in genting last week, or how his friend increased the range of his car remote control by tens of meters by just touching it onto his cranium. And all I'd do is just nod or say "oh.. hah? really? hmm... nola maybe... then what happened... oh that's good... hah, is it"? And then after about 2 or 3 minutes of non-stop chattering, my brother suddenly took a deep breath and exhaled while looking out the window... I thought to myself that he was probably just enjoying the night scene. We were silent for about half a minute or so.  Suddenly he turned to me and gave a shock "YOU KNOW AR, I FEEL LIKE CUTTING UP YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW MAN. LIKE SYLAR." I felt quite fractured and surprised, like "WTH?! wuzzrongwiyoo?! WHY ON EARTH?!" "Because I want to know what the hell is going on up in there."  That made me realize that I'm actually a powerfully introverted individual with so much going through my head, but nothing ever coming out. I began to realize that it all amounted to nothing if I kept all my thoughts and analyses to myself, all my perspectives and comments for myself. My dad always called me a man (not a boy, coz now it sounds much more serious) of few words, and I never understood the detriment of it till now. It was time to open up, open up, Nescafe. wtf. IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP LAR.  Until now, I labelled myself an introvert, like how other people notify me to be, but I've never really been in their shoes to catch a glimpse of my own appearance from their perspective. For a moment there I wanted to cut up my own head to see what my little neurons are doing hahaha. So here's my question for you.   Whatever you've been through, whatever you've absorbed through your experiences in life... whoever you've met, whoever you've had a very close relationship with, whoever had made an impact on your life... All these matters, whether big or small, whether it makes you insecure or not, whether it's a bad memory or a sweet one...  What if someone knew what was going on up in your head? What if someone cut open your head, exposing your brain, and as they study your brain, they excavate your darkest secrets, your crushes, your murders, your lies and deceptions, your emotional and psychological weak spots... What would you do now? Labels: rediscovering myself
That Girl Blythe
on Tuesday, January 06, 2009
at 5:29 PM  Finally, the first wave breaks up within its roar. In preparation for the official launch of An Old Flame by That Girl Cynthia, we endured from 9am to 7pm on a Saturday last December, setting up tripods, putting on makeup, posing, running, changing wardrobes, and the common things youths would do to photoshoot for a fashion blog.  It was a memorable and exhaustful experience, but worth the sweat and blood to the drop. We had fun laughing at each others expressions, at how us beginners always got lost in our own roles and how we shot 4 sets of clothing in the first 3 hours of 5, and managed to finish off the remaining 10 sets in that last 2 hours. "SEVEN O' CLOCK, SEVEN O' CLOCK, SEVEN O' CLOCK, KAR MARNN!" I know I got no face to say my photos turned out darn good, so I'll say it appeared satisfactorily terrific in the end. Well, go judge for yourself at the online store and give me your critique then. Hehe the scariest parts were when Cynthia wrinkled up a frown every time. Then it was uh-oh time.  Girl(left): No, I want the colour to be more vibrant! Girl(right): Then you'll have to do it all over again. >_<"  But apart from all the stress, it was some really good basic exposure for me. Working with unfamiliar individuals, chasing time and managing it, planning out the sequence of activities to execute, and not forgetting to bring extra batteries, were all crucial lessons along the way.  After a few weeks of rest and concentrating on other projects, we returned to the HORRIFYING FACES OF BLYTHE DOLLS UNDER THE SHADOW. ok I'm kidding. We returned to the lovely cute and cuddly blythe dolls for the mini photoshoot. This was just so much easier la. can twist her leg, can drop her on her head, dress them up, and toss them across the room, all under thirty two and a half seconds. Plus we were doing the shoot in my room, which was comfortable enough for me. Hehe. Sorry Cyn for the refridgeration, but I'd prefer to be freezing than melting. or evaporating. whichever.  Flash intensities (here come the jargons) were so much easier to control, Ambient strobes were effortlessly mobile and convenient, and setting up the backdrop using YOUR FRICKING A.E.I.O.U BRAND WRAPPING PAPER WHICH COSTS TWO FLAGGERING BUCKS PER SHEET WHICH I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE AS A COVER WRAP FOR MY PERSONAL NOTEBOOK AND/OR SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO FRIGGGIROMAJISTILERRING NICE was handily removable and replaceable, sheet after sheet. The pictures turned out nice la, that's all we want to know, right?   Reeaaaallllllyyyy niceeeee.  You can't deny it. I'M THE KING OF BLYTHE MUAHAHAHAHAHA  Okay yea, maybe some came out a little... unexpected.  Fark that's blardy shit creepy. Okay I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do this. Now Cynthia and Francesca are gonna kill me. Okok chillz, nah here, kawaii onez to end the nightz.  Satisfied with my little photoshoot experiments, I'll be headed for some serious-er strobing photography this Saturday. yippee! (And the saturday after that, i'm plannig an open outdoor photoshoot session, it's on my facebook, so go invite yourself) ___________________________________________________ More and more design jobs coming up!! While the beginning of the end initiates. hello and byebye ACCA. =]

My name is Jon without a H. They call me the boy who's in the wrong academic course - I'm doing ACCA. You'll figure out the rest. I sway in and out of basketball, rock climbing, frisbee and gym-ing as sports, but I always stick to graphic design and photography. My dream is to either start and develop an advertising and design company, or design and implement a revolutionary accounting and control system for a multi-national IT company. Sounds crazy? Watch me! Oh, and I'm a massive Taylor Swift fan.
