Uncle Su’s Got Some.

Something lighthearted. By the original band, no less. I love them already.

I cannot stop thinking how lucky I am and what amazingly understanding parents I have. I called back home to report my horrendous grades and all they cared about is if I’m alright and if I’m stressed out by this, and if I have enough money in the account and if I need the money sitting in my account if I want to get the car, RIGHT NOW, because I don’t know maybe a car can cheer me up and get me better grades?

Silly how hopeless I felt, doubting why I am trying so hard in school. So silly.

Scrapblog

Saw a review from techcrunch, so I went ahead to give it a whirl.

I like the endless creative pages I can create with scrapblog. I great way to showcase my photos. I especially like the picture frames and how I can just bring up photos from my flickr account. AMAZING! Still buggy and slow for now, but I think this is going to be bigger than Twitter!

Give it a try and let me know what I think.

I made mine here.

Don’t you just love shopping during the holidays, haw haw haw…

I am getting horrendous grades for this quarter, despite myself thinking that I have put in a lot of work. I don’t know much about photography or getting along with others despite myself thinking that I’ve been reading widely and that I am a natural charm around people.

I am being very self-obsessed lately. Every thing that I mess up has been patched back by blaming others or giving lame excuses. I have lied to countless people trying to preserve my image and reputation. Apparently I have been deceiving myself too?

I think I spent too much time shoving my anger down everyone else’s throats, convincing them how much hardship I am enduring right now, and how dare them question me about integrity and perseverance… When I could have spent more time being humble, teachable and actually doing something right for a long time now.

I feel empty now… Somebody please slap me awake.

• 300 - 4.5/5, Gory, great colors, great scripted conversations, great battle sequences. Very convincing act by King Leonidas and his 300.
• Reign over me - 1/5, Pointless plot, unclear objective, plausible act by Adam Sandler as the haywire and that guy from Hotel Rwanda as his savior old friend, draggy and long. A losing piece even to the sympathetic. A waste of time.
• Music and Lyrics - 2/5, unconvincing act and chemistry by Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant. A fine work for the romantic movie lovers. Unbearable for the romance tolerant. The songs are the best things about the movie itself. Waste of money.
• TMNT - 3.5/5, Great for a Sunday movie, great for fans wanting a sense of nostalgia. Bad dialogues, lame Michaelangelo’s jokes, Raphael attitude was ass-kicking awesome. The best TMNT franchise in portraying the turtles as humans, ever. Showed the turtles’ personalities to plausible extent. Short. Pleasant to watch overall.

I have this crazy idea of bringing a “HEY YOU, SMILE!” placard around downtown and asking random strangers to post with it while smiling. I’ll give these strangers a card with my flickr address on it so that they can see themselves smiling for the camera.

The project’s objective is to show that smiling is a universal language. Whatever your hardship is, whatever is on your mind, a little smile with brighten your day and everyone else’s! So smile!

The idea has been floating in my head for months, and I think I first read it online somewhere. Now I cannot get it off my mind.

Should I go ahead with it?

Dear Fleur,

I haven’t written an open letter to you for some time. How’ve you been doing?

We have been through a lot of thick and thin together, babe. You came to my life when I was leaving Singapore for good, when my sister came and took over my first love, F700. My dad asked me to pick a new girl, so I chose you out of the many whores on the glass display. Time has passed and you’ve been blowing (my mind) me for as long as I can remember. You taught me many things I never knew I could do… you were naughty and seductive and you are mentoring and loving.

Now that I have grown up, and will all the grown up issues that I have, I thought of saying bye. You were not as mind-blowing as you were before. Or at least, my taste and standard has risen beyond what you can offer me. Yes, you were faithful. I had many great memories in my hard drive thanks to you. And I’m sorry I ran away with a new F10 when you were sick with cancerous overexposure, going through repair chemotherapy… And I wasn’t there for you other than paying the doctor.

Recently I just don’t think you fill my shoes anymore. You don’t arouse my spot like you do anymore, your battery run out fast, you fall asleep before I’m done, and you’ve been refusing my advances with “write error”. That is just rude. I am a man, Fleur… And I have my needs!

After I reformatted your memory card, you throw tantrums on me. You take 3s to load up. You clearly take your own sweet time and don’t show your respect to me anymore. You embarrass me in front of my friends. You hurt my ego.

I’m sending you to rehab, baby Fleur. Your memory is going back to newegg.com for replacement. I’m bringing extra battery viagra for you next time so you don’t sleep before I come again. And for all my needs, I’m having affairs with that F10 bitch again, y’happy now?

Besides, I won’t be staying for long. We won’t last. We’re not meant for each other. After all the hurt you’ve caused me, I don’t know if I want to go back there anymore. You beg me to stay baby, but I will still leave. It’s too late now. I’m through with your little girl tantrums. I’m done suppressing my frustrations. You are self-obsessed, controlling and you… You are a screwed up bitch, aren’t you?

I’m getting a DSLR. Bye, lost love.

Now you can have a new computer with windows XP on it. Upgrade to XP!

ver. 1.4 is up and going guys. I like how they added page edit to it, but the green theme is just fugly. What do you think?

update: OMG the nightmare I cannot drag and drop photos anymore!

First there’s blogs. Then came Twitter. Now there’s tumblr for the lazier ones.

What has the world come to?!

I have set up mine here for name-chopping sake.

Go get yourself one a tumblr for free if you are too lazy to edit your post settings, moderate comments or edit CSS but still want to blog a quote, a link, a photo or a simple conversation.

I’m not a big fan of copyright infringement, but just want to apologize to Tegan and Sara and The Fray in advance just in case they got angry over how a fan think they’re so awesome that he’s disregarding copyrights.

Divided - Tegan and Sara

Funny how you go to college and still act like kids from grade 5. I got in a childish pursuit with Andy this afternoon. To put it in concise terms, its about a cellphone, some embarrassing videos, my lack of self-restraint and 2 guys running around the school.

I snatched Andy’s phone and ran to the college’s main entrance. He chased. I ran further. He still is frakking chasing! Then he caught up. We got in a jujitsu-style wrestle, which attracted quite a little attention from the people waiting for the bus. The kind of attention and glimpse that people give TWO PEOPLE OF THE SAME GENDER BICKERING AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS AND TRYING TO PIN EACH OTHER TO THE FLOOR, just like a cheap BDSM porno.

Anna was standing right by the bus stop, smirking like she always does and cocking an eyebrow like she always does, and asked “What is going on, guys?” I gave her a grin and told her that I’m breaking up with Andy, and asked if she’s already single and if she’d be interested in me, and then continued wrestling Andy for the phone.

So Andy won the wrestling match by twisting my thumb and ended up with the phone, and I ended up deleting 2 videos, but he’s got more copies in his computer. He ran back to the library with his phone laughing, and I was pissed and didn’t talk to him for the rest of the afternoon. At night I text-ed him to delete all of the videos he’s taken of me, and crudely told him to learn some respect. He called, apologized, said he’s deleted all of the videos, and asked if we’re cool. I found out that he’s been persistent in keeping the videos because I’m his good friend here and he’d like to keep some memento for himself just in case I leave Seattle in the not-so-far future.

And I just went all “Awwwww…” inside of me. Some brotherhood.

To nobody in particular =)

Not that you’re the one
Not to say I’m right
Not to say today
Not to say a thing, tonight…

But suffice it to say
We’re leaving things unsaid
We sing ourselves to sleep
Watching the day lie down instead

And we are leaving some things unsaid
And we are breathing deeper instead

Its amazing how a miscommunication can escalate doubts, suspicion and hatred when they’re ignored. It happened for my previous relationships, and might well happen again for my future relationships.

Like how a simple SMS left unread, a flat cellphone battery, the phone call that was dropped by the carrier, or when you blew a promise or miss a date…

Is it aldehyde or alderhyde? How the hell I go through 2 years of chemistry in secondary school and then another 2 so far now in college, AND STILL SPELL IT WRONG?

In the United States, a conjugal visit is a scheduled visit during which an inmate of a penal institutionsexual intercourse
with a visitor in a closely controlled setting. It is generally
stipulated that this visitor be a spouse. The generally recognized
basis for permitting such a visit is that, even though the inmate has
lost their rights with incarceration, their spouse still has the right
to enjoy sexual intimacy, and should not be required to divorce or commit adultery in order to enjoy conjugal rights.

OK, very enriching and comforting. Link.

After the recent iTunes update, the whole algorithm that I placed for the iTunes stopped working. Songs that are supposed to be out of the playlist when skipped, don’t get out. Songs that are supposed to rotate from 3 months ago, stopped updating itself.

And the worst thing is, Apple still don’t get that I need a 2-way synchronization between the iTunes and my iPod, dammit!

Update: I got so excited I read the whole thing wrong. Flickr now allows you to switch your flickr account from one Yahoo! ID to another. There’s nothing about merging 2 accounts together. I must be lacking sleep. Tried the transfer website and ended up hogging losing access to my pro account for 5 minutes when I panicked!

Flickr, that was the most ming-boggling fucking stupid idea with the “dangling account” thing. No thanks for the scare, or the confusion I have put myself into. Speaks a lot of my inteligence, hurhur.

*****

Sweet! Now I can transfer over my other account that I created in the past when I persisted on not buying a Pro account(because I’m a miser cheap-o).

Since I have a Pro now, and since there is no uploading limits, merging 2 accounts into 1 makes it even sweeter! Sweet sweet!

Link.

Note: Flickr doesn’t seem to be synchronizing with OakFlickr anymore. The generated URL for the original images are all messed up and I’m getting “Photo not available” messages. What’s the deal, yo?
