life, the universe and everything else in between
isn't living about the mystery? the gaps, the silence, the unquantifiable that just makes it seem worth living for?

if you had it all figured out, then there's nothing left to discover, and would you live life to the fullest when it really didn't matter anymore?

why you ought to watch transformers, the greatest motion picture epic of all time


Optimus Prime
he was always my favourite, the gentle, kind soul who is always manigmous and stands on the side of justice and good. but now, he actually decapitates the decepticon, bonecrusher in one fell swoop. that's the money shot right there. in a homage to optimus's energy axe and grimlock's energo sword.. this death move proves there's a limit to the even optimus's virtue of patience.

the crap story
seriously, why befuddle the rollercoaster ride with some stupid existentialist crap that so many films tried to follow (ala the matrix). michael bay has a lousy narrative, some cheesy comedic moments, but fantastic action sequences and transformers! LOTS OF THEM! they shoot, get shot at, stomp on each other, decapitated and ripped in two.

my mouth was open for 99% of the movie
optimus prime, bumblebee, jazz, ironhide, ratchet, megatron, starscream, devestator, bonecrusher, barricade and meagan fox. i was telling the yuen throughout the entire movie that i was losing my mind! holy shit! omigosh! that's crazy!

freedom is the right of all sentient beings
peter cullen, the original voice of optimus prime reprises his role. the deep set voice, that sounds so heavily burdened and tired of all the violence, and yet the life and passion it evokes when he stands by his causes to protect and uphold. the ultimate hero. to hear him say his other immortal line "one shall stand, one shall fall" and all the other references to the rich cartoon series that fills my life with so much joy.

proving that i'm still a fan
i watched it on opening day. NEED I SAY MORE???

this movie will blow your mind! don't worry about the story, or the new look the transformers got. don't let those prissy fans tell you how much it doesn't pay homage to the cartoon series. IT DOESN'T MATTER, and this comes from an absolute fan over the cartoon series. it's tenaciously enjoyable, and you will want to watch it again and again and again. Transformers FTW. life can be complete if you choose to.

no pictures, just go see it.

when you gotta go, you gotta go

give fight for blood


it's been too long since i sat down here by my computer and talked. or type. it doesn't matter. it has been way too long, the week's just flown by and i've barely gotten the chance to gather my thoughts. don't get me wrong, tiring as it may be, it's been a positive whirlwind, i face new challenges each day, and meet great folks during and after hours.

i suppose a part of it has been long, because i've been playing bass on monday, thursday till next monday, and who knows how many more times. it's almost like i'm a session musician after my office hours, except that i don't get paid for my work. i'm not trying to be mercenary about this, but when you're sort of in 3 bands/projects, plus playing for two services in church, it takes its toll on you.

i'm not looking for a reward, or a break, i just wanna know how its done effectively.. well, maybe i wanna know if it makes a difference, that would be the reward, to address the insecurities in my own heart, and to be validated.

i've had many brainwaves this past week, but it doesn't get blogged down, because well.. i can't publish every thought that comes to my brain anymore, and i obviously don't wanna twitter you to death. so in any case, my brain's already starting to shut down, and i really am getting slightly jaded on this whole 'being virtually connected with everyone' badge i used to wear. even if i still believe it, alone time is very important. and i'm glad i sort of had that, hanging out with yh today and just not having to think about other things, or what other appointments i might have later in the day, just kicking back to watch pan's labyrinth and whacking the PSP were all great ways to collect myself after being yanked around over a fortnight. both professionally and recreation.

life used to be a bit more whimsical, a bit more flippant even, more carefree.. after working for ten weeks, responsibilities really do make up a big part of the cross i'm carrying, and i'm starting to wonder, how much of it do i surrender to the Cross, if not everything, but with the whole fanfare of me finally being a working adult, i take some stuff to seriously sometimes.

just a thought.

If only life were this steady..

My desk

My glorious intern has taken it upon herself to beautify my desk at work. Two months ago it was a minimalist Zen like workspace, but now tastefully transformed into the bustling computer screen of digital sorta people. And nothing replaces good homemade stickers, cuz ive got the only ones now :)

Conference over. Bye! It was very good, thoroughly enjoyed myself. Speakers were great :) check back here for my thoughts
