Father

A Fish With A Smile

Another animation that has got a nice meaning behind it.



I woke up in the middle of the night,

I thought it was morning,

No, is not even twilight yet,

Usually it is just like any normal night,

But no, it is not, you appeared in my mind,

Why can't I see?

That this is not a dream?

Am I too numbed to even realise it?

What was I afraid of?

Losing someone again?

Seeing the person you love most becoming the stranger of your life?

This is real,

I am not dreaming,

I am awake now in my own dream,

If I ever go with the feeling,

I do not want to lose someone again,

If you really love somebody, you have to set if free?

Sorry,I did it once, but I do not want to do it again,

Have you ever unconciously felt the corner of your eyes were wet?

If I ever love you, can you don't leave me?

Because I can never really set you free...

Korea Watercolor Style Animation

This is a really beautiful piece of animation.

What do people live for? 人为什么要活着?

This is a very inspirational video.

Live life to the fullest, do not self-pity.

Everyone is worthy of doing something great for themselves, as long as we are still breathing.

Life is short, look back with no regret.

You may not be in a situation now where you wished could have been. But it does not mean that should stop you from doing accomplishing your own dream.

Stand up and do not look at what you are lacking, instead look around and see what you have, you still have a life, live it to the fullest.

At the end of the day, where we ended is entirely caused by our own choice.

No matter you are happy or sad, the clock still continue to tick every second, why choose to be sad?

Be happy and live a positve life no matter what your situation is right now. =)

CNY has ended

Time passed like a bullet train! If you did not board it on time, you will just see it pass by you and gone in a blink of eyes.

This CNY has definitely been one of the happiest one I ever had. Good food and great places to go through out the festive season.

After CNY, somehow everything will start getting serious and more into work. No more fooling around so much. Everyone is back to business. I am guilty of being extremely lazy through out the festive season ><

However, it is barely 2 months. I feel many things happened in such a short period. Good and bad. I am trying to keep track of my resolutions, it seems that it can be done, and I just need to put in the extra effort and serious discipline to accomplish them.

The most important thing, is I never expect Aphrodite has finally showered me with some of her blessing.

After so many years, I have basically given up hope. This feeling has become so numb that nothing seems to interest me anymore. I have just decided to shift my attention to other aspect of life since long ago. You know, when something is gone for so long, you can't really recall what it feels like.

As each day passed, I am just trying to gather back those feelings of having somebody in life. I am trying each day to get used to the idea. Somehow, the momentum will slowly build up again with each passing day.

When you consistently pushed your feelings away, you get an emotionless person. You know, you feel happy, but you cant really feel it inside, you feel touched, but you cant really feel it inside either. It is like trying to adjust those feelings again and tell yourself you should be feeling this way. I guess the heart has really been freezed for too long, is time it got exposed to some warmth.

Someone has told me once, that today will come. I just never believe it back then, because I never see it coming. But I think certain things happened when you least expect them.

I just tried hard to adopt a positive attitude towards life each day. Somehow, I think those positiveness has managed to attract something good.

It is true that what you think is what you get.

Great accompishment starts with a vision. Vision starts with a dream. Believe in what you dream.

The power of dream. =)

It is never too late to be who, where or how you should have been. But what matters is from this second onwards, you are determined to make a difference to your life. And that alone is moving mountain.

4. I am afraid of heights and bees.

6. I am a very random person. If I saw any interesting, cute or nice thing that interest me, I will buy for myself or my friend(only people I am very closed with or like :p), therefore I do not believe I need an occasion to give people something. I believe good things in life should be shared.
7. I am a law-breaker. I do not like to follow rules :p I can't stand being under others supervision, therefore I really do not like the idea of being an employee.
8. I need a lot freedom. I believe in giving freedom to others. As long as it was used in a good and considerate manner.
9. If I have set my mind to get something, I will stop at nothing until I got it. I hate being challenged but like it at the same time because it makes me tougher after that. Usually the more you challenge me, the better I become. :p
10. I will be very quiet when I am not feeling well, tired and unhappy. If I am stress, I will do crazy things :-X I will be very sleepy when I am unhappy, because I need a restart button (sleep), when I wake up I will tend to forget about it. Hugging someone or holding someone's hand gives me more comfort than any word of console. xD

Anyone who think they are free and would like to share more about themselves.

About You 2

Knowing you now but not knowing you well enough,

It is like knowing the surface meaning of a song but didn't really understand each word written in the lyric,

Liking you so much, but do not really have the courage to embrace the feeling,

It is similar to liking a song so much, but didn't really have the courage to sing it out loud,

Not knowing whether we are really meant to be together,

It is like not knowing whether the song and the singer are meant to be together,

Feeling happy whenever you are around,

It is like smiling to yourself whenever the radio played your favourite song.

Wanting this to last and not a casual or puppy love thing...

It is like trying hard not to memorise each word of the lyric but to be able sing it from the bottom of the heart, because you will never forget a song that has become part of your life, and it will never get out of trend even after many years.

Not wanting this feeling to be another scar again,

It is like not wanting a song that once bring smile to your face has now bring tears to your eyes whenever you heard it playing.

Are you really the song of my life? Am I really the one suitable to sing this song?

CNY Rabbit Paper Mache

I finally can post about this. =)

Just before the CNY, I made this CNY card. I was really lazy at first, I guess after not touching any arty work for so long, my skill just rust. However, I did made one for last Christmas. I have no idea at first how to do it and that explain the small size...LOL.

Making it definitely test my patience, well...part of my resolutions is to become patient, so I thought this will be the best way to test my patience.

In order to make it, I have recycled 3 CNY card, u know those ugly plain CNY card sent by companies. Luckily, their color is rich and outstanding, this helped save the cost for the material. I just need to get those paper that I do not have. I pretty much have all the material left behind from last time. There were so many art material left unused in my cupboard.

In the beginning, I do not know how I should do the layout. Then I don't know how to draw ><
I thought of forgetting it and throw away already...LOL
However, with some self-motivation and perservarance, I managed to draw and cut all the individual small piece to form the paper mache. And before I knew it, is completed. =D













After the cover was done, I am thinking what to do with the inside. I really have no idea. It took me quite a while and some trial and error to plan the inside. At first, I thought of a lion dance inside it. But the lion turned out so ugly, so remove everything. HAHAha
Luckily, last Christmas, I made something similar. So I decided I will just use the same concept. In the end, it look something better. But I have problem with the head. Due to CNY, I just leave it behind and much later I got inspiration on making the head. So glad! HAHA
Everything is completed and I am glad I finished it. Picture for final work is not available because I totally forgotten to take any picture ><
Happy Bunny Year, and sorry there is no tutorial on making it. LOL. But the card is totally made from recycled material, everything I managed to got from CNY, CNY Card, angpow, stickers, etc. So folks, don't throw away those unused CNY card next time, it can be recycled and made into something else.
RECYCLE, REUSE, REDUCE =)

Why the raven is like a writing desk?

Hi there readers, since I am disturbed from my sleep and it is quite late to do some serious work, might as well just blog. I found out I tend to write better when I am half awake because my mind tend to have deeper thoughts.



Have you ever asked your partner this question, "Why do you like me?"



I am so sure most of you would have asked that question before, and especially if you are a girl asking your boyfriend.



Answers I have heard include, because you are so arrogant =/, because you are cute, because you always make me laugh, because I can get along with you, because you are good in bed, because you are RICH, because you are HOT, HANDSOME, SEXY, because you are famous, because you can cook, because we shared the same interest, because you are kind, and the because just goes on....



However, I am sure some of you would have gotten this answer:



I don't know. I have no clue why do I love you. I just love you for who you are.



Awww...for me, that is really the most genuine answer. However, some people tend to dislike that kinda answer and perceive them as being insincere. They will start questioning like, "you mean there are nothing about me that you even like???"



Why must there be an answer to everthing?



Can someone please tell me what is the answer to famous riddle of Alice in the Wonderland, why the raven is like a writing desk? When Lewis Caroll included this riddle in the tale, everyone demanded for an answer. Everyone wants to know the answer and find it silly and stupid that Caroll has included a riddle that has got no answer.



Can you explain why the sun must rise from the east? Can you tell me who created God?



As far as human is curious and demand an explanation for everything, there are certain things that cannot be explained or rather left unknown.



Can someone please tell me why he must love that girl/boy who is so ugly, fat and unattractive? Isn't it I am ten times better than her/him?



I can tell you, it is just feeling. The proper word would be, chemistry. Or maybe if you believe in karma, both of you are lovers in past life or you owe that person something in your past life, and this time you are destinied to meet him/her to repay your debt or be with him/her again.



When I found out I fell in love with him, I cannot explain it either. I keep asking myself everyday the same question? Why do I like him? He is not cute, not handsome, not rich, not funny, and in fact he is so dull. But believe it or not, it is the feeling. When I first meet him, it is the feeling of extreme comfort I have, somehow my senses just tell me he is the one I would want to be with.



Some of you might have fallen in love with someone because that person is so spontaneous, for example he gives you a kiss on your cheek unexpected or just hug you from behind.



True love need no explanation. Love is blind. If love can be explained, it is not love, it is an exchange of benefit.



I am not saying there should not be any benefit you wish to obtain from that person, but if the benefit is your first motive, then how genuine are you in being in the relationship? You want a handsome boyfriend so that you feel proud and your friends will look at you in awe when you go out with him? You want your boyfriend that drive a big car? You want a boyfriend that can bring you go for fine dining every week?



Perfection does not exist. Nothing is perfect. If you have witnessed before, if your boyfriend can provides you with all the luxuries, he tend to be a playboy and less likely to be faithful to you. You are just one of his toys, at first he will shower you with all his attention, but when he found out that you no longer interest him, he will just dump you like a trash.



As for myself, I am very grateful when someone loves me because of my weakness. For example, I may be insensitive, bad temper and whatever bad characteristic you can think of, you still continued to love me. You never give up on me no matter how I broke your heart sometimes. Believe me, because of your genuine feeling and faith in me, I will incline to change my bad characteristic. This is because I think you really deserve something better. Everyone has a conscience in what they did. I know there are certain people who take advantage of others love and sacrifices for them, and they take it for granted. When people is being nice to you, it does not mean you truly deserve them, it is because they love you too much and you are definitely blessed! However, if you don't count your blessing, you will regret it when its too late. Remember the song, Back to December by Taylor Swift?



If you still love me despite when I told you the following:



I have nothing to offer you at the moment,

I am not the famous hunk everyone is chasing after,

I cannot be as funny as Mr Bean to make you laugh 24/7,

I do not have a big car to take you everywhere,

I am sorry that you may find me a bit of a bore,

I am unable bring you go holiday and luxury dining because I cannot afford it at the moment,

I am sorry you will have to bear with me because I have my parents to take care of,

I may lose my temper when I am stressed up,

I am sorry that I have to work hard and unable accompany you all the time,

I am sorry that I can't make you go ooo and ahhh on the bed,

I am a sucker in being romantic,

I do not have muscular pecs, abs, biceps, triceps, I am sorry that I am a bit out of shape,

and finally...



I am sorry because I cannot be the ideal knight in shining armor that you always fantasized...



But, if you still continued love me, I will make sure you are the luckiest person one day.

Do not look into the present, think of the future. I may not be who you would have wished me to be now, but as long as I am still breathing, I can still give you what you deserve.



When the day is sunny, I will never forget that you are the one who shelter me with your umbrella when I am drenched and soaked wet under the heavy rain once....
