"Where would I wish to wake up tomorrow?"

It seems that waking up in their bedrooms or wherever they woke up in the morning is the popular wish that the people had. I'd wish of the same thing too. Waking up everyday in my bed, listening to the birds chirping outside on the nearby tree, having cereal in my pajamas without brushing my teeth. Though, waking up in a totally different place is not bad at all, if you'd come to think of it. Of course, it should not be a ridiculous place with giant prehistoric-teethed rats and Yums everywhere. It would be some kind of a mild surprise. Like those surprises that you get that made you feel a little bit confused but leaves you smiling wide without wanting to. How about waking up on somebody else's bed? Waking up in the kitchen with breakfast served? Waking up with your other half? Or better yet, wake up two years in advance? I would like that. Everything else would stay the same except for one thing that's pre-scheduled in my life, gone. Anyway, to those reading this, "Where would you wish to wake up tomorrow?" Its nothing big. I'd just like to know.

Again, he flew away...

One of the Pea-people ordered a mouth-watering barbecue steak at Salamander Steakhouse the other day. He asked for the ketchup from his waiter as the one on his table was diluted and flavorless. It was as though the restaurant had been mixing it with water to get every drop of ketchup not gone to waste. He shook the one on the table to let it out, he shook the other one to get a more concentrated version. All he could remember next was that he's up in the sky, overlooking the city. Still hungry.

Peace to the peas.

"311 - Dyer Maker"
cool cover and an interesting ending..

I've been away for quite some time now because some other
commitments and plus my scanner's down again.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can slowly feel that my brain's not functioning as it used to. And each time I get home, I have to find some excuse for not doing work. Ever since I graduated from school, I feel lost. There's no motivation for anything. Suicidal as it may sound, I honestly am not. I just simply don't know where to go from here (at this point of time or five years from now). I apologize.

peace.

"Sudirman - Toyol"

Sorry if you guys can't understand the song.
Just don't depend on the music video to understand it.

Synopsis: "Mo' Monay Fo' Ma Honay" is based on a children's book about an
undeveloped demon-like baby (toyol) who is "hired" by a bankrupt pimp, whose only
goal is to rob his own prostitutes/whores. However, the tables turn when the
Toyol (Big Bone-Toad, Backdoor Bonanza) falls in love with a skanky whore
(Salmatron, Why Be So Anal?) and betrays the pimp. The pimp then "hires" a
new Toyol Jr. (Tan Chee Chak, Off The Wallsss) to rob Toyol. A toyol robbery war
is going to happen and who knows who'll get the most money.

Catch the cameo appearance by Anne Hathaway
as a traditional malay dessert.
______________________________________________________________________

Here's a guide to Toyols from wiki-wiki what-what..

A Toyol or Tuyul is a mythical spirit in the Malay mythology of South-East Asia (notably Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore). It is a small child spirit invoked by a bomoh foetus using black magic. It is possible to buy a toyol (Malay witch doctor) from a dead human from such a bomoh.

A person who owns a toyol uses it mainly to steal things from other people, or to do mischief. According to a well-known superstition, if money or jewellery keeps disappearing mysteriously from your house, a toyol might be responsible. One way to ward off a toyol is to place some needles under your money, for toyols are afraid of being hurt by needles.

"The Blood Arms feat. Anais - Do I Have Your Attention?"

Definitely a good listen and a cool video too.
They've also got some nice type in it and bubble letters are the best kind.

The back story for this one is that this creature got tired of figuring out who or what he/she is. "It" has decided to kill itself after being ridiculed by its friends about its appearance.

"Oh, Darrrling - The Beatles"

When you're working everyday, Mondays suck the most.

It seems so hard nowadays to get online and start blogging about stuff. Nothing has been going on ever since erm.. But I thought I'd share with the computer-seat patties some of the stuff that I've been doing. So, another short entry for a very long wait.

Here's the list of what I am busy with nowadays:

Dramagods - Something About You

Holidays, holidays, holidays. I guess it shouldn't be called "holidays" anymore since there's no more school left to look forward to. This is my "nothing-left-to-do" period. And with nothing left to do, breeds this picture:

a spur-of-the moment choice

ALIENS ARE COMING OUT OF YOUR HEADS PEOPLE!

Alright. I guess that's it for now. I'll continue enjoying my "holidays" like I should.
Oh, and Iron Man is not such a bad movie afterall.

Chaka Khan & Rufus - Sweet Thing

I will love you anyway
Even if you cannot stay
I think you are the one for me
Here is where you ought to be
I just want to satisfy ya
Though you're not mine
I cant deny ya
Don't you hear me talking baby?
Love me now or Ill go crazy

Chorus:
Oh Sweet Thing
Don't you know you're my everything?
Oh sweet thing
Don't you know you're my everything?
Yes, you are

I wish you were my lover
But ya act so undercover
To love you child my whole life long
Be it right, or be it wrong
I'm only what you make me, baby
Don't walk away, don't be so shady
Don't want your mind, don't want your money
These words I say, they may sound funny, but...

Chorus

You are my heat
You are my fire
You make me weak with strong desire
To love you child my whole life long
Be it right, or be it wrong
I just want to satisfy ya
Though you're not mine
I cant deny ya
Don't you hear me talking baby?
Love me now or Ill go crazy

Vamp:
You're my heat, you are my fire
You're not mine, I cant deny ya
Don't you hear me talking, baby?
Love me now, or Ill go crazy

We love this song. Yes, we do.
Its not directed to anyone at all. I just put it there cos this is what
I've been listening to at work. And I like it. A lot.

Anyway, with the existence of people like Josef Fritzl, comes this sketch:

Peace out peoples.
Make love not war.
But don't make love to family members.

Lenny Kravitz - It Ain't Over Till Its Over

Speaking of things that are over, school is finally over. Which also means, more working
days at Starbucks. This is my "whoop-dee-doo-more-working-days-face".

Another picture taken while "working"

Anyway, it was Earth Day a couple of days ago. So here's a little tidbit for the earth.

Looks like the alien from American Dad. Its always nice to draw with a ballpoint pen but
I think I suck at it. Or maybe because the pen I used for this was "stolen".

Piss Out.
Cos it probably don't mean anything at all.

It is quite amazing how some people just learn how to keep their mouths shut for just one day, and then..

I am dead for most parts of my major project.

Peace no more cos we shouldn't really bother at all.

2008-01-25T02:05:00.000+08:00

If there's one thing that I learned from school so far, is that its important to conceptualize. So, here's the concept behind this:

Zordon was born without limbs. This sketch represents him when he was in college. As you can see from the facial expression, he was a lonely guy. A pessimist. Nobody wanted to hang around him as he was "weird" amongst the rest of students. Everything about him was thought of as "weird". In fact, some people don't like his eyebrows for some unjustified reasoning.

Well, he then built a robot called Alpha. Of course, he built it with the help of his parents because of his disability to handle tools. But there were so many attempts at creating the perfect robo-companion, that his parents gave up on the fifth attempt and decided to name it Alpha 5. And to prevent Zordon from rejecting and throwing a hissyfit, his parents shaved-off his mustache, made a giant test-tube out of magnifying glass and left him in the desert, where the only mode of transportation to the desert is by teleportation through wristwatches, which he will, later on, distribute to 5 good-looking teenagers. He will name them as "Rangers" when, in fact, he really wanted to name them "Friends". Mighty Morphin Power Friends. But he thought that the name, wouldn't be good for a tv show.

Of course, this is just up to you to decide whether I'm telling the truth or not. But I'm telling you exactly what he told me.

This is crap at its purest form.

Peace.

Seriously, I have no idea what I drew. But then again,

THIS WEEK

The week of extra importance. The week to touch-up on the semester's projects. The week of improvements. The week of compiling. I just can't get myself to start on doing those things. I find myself doing useless chores.

Speaking of useless chores: don't click this

instead, watch this
The Blue lizard with the top hat best describes me now.

JUST JOKING.. I think "Lasalle Revolution" is a "clever" site. It is what we all love. Complains. Gossip. The "ins and outs" of the Lasalle's ass. Err.. I'd do something about the spelling of the content though.

I can't really think of anything to blog about other than not thinking of anything to blog about.

And then.. I remembered something.
Some people said that my way of thinking is different now. By some people I mean somebody. And by somebody I meant Herviana. She thinks I'm becoming more like Kooichi. I don't agree with her at all! Why the hell would I want to be like Kooch? No offence to Kooch though. I'm sure there are hundreds of guys wanting be become "The Paradox" There's no conclusion to my ramblings, just that, I didn't really think people, in general, would give a rat's ass what I do or have become. I want to become someone with shame again. Someone with urat malu. Inside joke.

FREAKIN' IDIOT!

ahpek bodo

2007-09-24T20:56:00.000+08:00

It was supposed to be in my posters for advertising. But Ahpek got rejected. So, I figured I put it in here since it is appropriate enough.

It seems like I've been forgetting a lot of things for the past few days. And its not MAJOR things. It's things like, where I'd left my EZ-link card and where I last put my shiok pencil. I guess I should start using post-its and label my stuff eh. *elbow elbow, nudge nudge, wink wink

Anybody wanna go botak with me?

Eh..
SHUDDUP ahh!
Kebaya MY FOOT!

a world of salt and wounds..

2007-09-23T00:27:00.002+08:00

There's this saying "adding salt to the wound". It is stuck in my head, thanks to Esther Qwek from class. So ever since I got back from KL, the saying ADDING SALT TO THE WOUND, applies to every single moment of my life. For example:

I have no interest in advertising at all. Having to fail its projects and a very "helpful" lecturer is what I need.
To resist the temptation to eat during the fasting month is tough. To turn down an invitation to lunch by a certain someone is even tougher.
A lot of problems regarding school after the trip to KL. To create quite a stir amongst friends after the trip is helpful.
Bad enough that I got feminine looks. Thanks a lot for calling me a faggot.
Passive smoking is bad. To cough out blood because of it.. is interesting.

I am not complaining though. As an old Malay saying goes, "What is a dish without salt? And what is life without trials and tribulations?"

ehh.. SHUDDUP ahhh..

so far..

2007-09-08T00:06:00.001+08:00

Boom Selecta! This is what I've done so far. Two of my friends. Ms. Herviana and Mr. Fye ehhh. I figured I might as well update this damn thing before I go away for vacation (Kuala Lumpur). Not too excited though.

Oh. And.. its my birthday today.

Peace.

freaky-dicky

2007-08-28T22:32:00.000+08:00

Its been 2 weeks since school started and all I can say is that I hate advertising class. And don't get me wrong, it doesn't have anything to do with the lecturer at all (though some may beg to differ). I am just not feeling it. I've to come with 50 ideas for an advertisement that I don't think people would care to buy or have interest in.

50 ideas. Due tomorrow at 9am. 49 more to go.
As for the sketch, what started out as a doodle became a bigger doodoo.

..and when the cat-lady smiles

2007-08-04T22:56:00.000+08:00

Just two blocks away from mine lives a cat-lady. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. The sweet little old lady that comes down to feed stray cats. There's one in every neighborhood. I'm sure of it. So this is mine. However, my cat-lady appears to be "witch-like". That was the only person around my neighborhood that I'm scared of. Its like she has command over those cats. It is important that I don't make eye-contact with her. Well, just the other day, I had to look at her cos she was with a pretty little cat (I guess it was new around the area). She looked at me and smiled. However sweet it may sound, it was horrifying to me. I decided to go back and made a quick sketch of her smiling.

don't get me wrong.. i like cats.. meow!

- hmmm.. -

2007-07-30T00:50:00.000+08:00

I watched Shaun Of The Dead again the other night and asked Hervie that question. What WOULD they do? They couldn't do anything else except munch on people so that they can spread their kind. Is that how they "populate" their species? Then again, the question would create quite a stir if they really DO exist. So don't waste your time thinking about it. Maybe zombies themselves would think of what they'll do if they had nothing to do. Make pancakes or a healthy morning breakfast or something.

Seems like everything is going good so far. By good I mean bad and by bad I mean really bad.

2007-07-15T23:27:00.000+08:00

So I went to the library today. I saw this book about horror flicks of the 80's and boy was I excited. I've always loved how "bo-chap" the posters/video covers were. More importantly, the titles cracks me up the most. I guess that now, horror flicks are trying to move away from specific descriptions for their movie titles for example, The Ring, The iPhone and what-have-yous. Too bad I was by myself in the library. It would sure as hell be a lot more fun sharing the book with company. The titles include - Die Sister, Die!, The Driller Killer. What's more interesting are their taglines for the movie itself:

What's 12ft Tall and Eats People: E.T.n (Extra-Terrestrial Nasties)
Pay To Get In, Pray To Get Out: Funhouse: Carnival of Terror
They Planted The Living, and Harvested The Dead! : Invasion of the Blood Farmers

And then, I noticed that back in the day, DON'T seems to be the in-thing for threats.

Don't Go In The Woods ...alone!
Don't Go Near The Park
Don't Look In The Basement
Don't Ride On ... LATE NIGHT TRAINS!

Well, whatever it is.. It was a great source of inspiration.

The past week was a disaster. The sloth has been riding me and giving it to me up the ass. Maybe that wasn't such a good analogy. I felt so restless. Hopefully this week will not be like another day with a marsupial.

All my love goes out to Hakim's Grandfather, eventhough I don't know him at all. But with a grandson like his, I bet he was a great guy. May he rest in peace. Insya'Allah.

2007-06-28T05:41:00.000+08:00

I, for sure, have done a lot of time-wasting thinking of this thing that I've been wanting to do for my breaks during work. Up to a point where I don't think is gonna happen. Which is, all-in-all, a big waste of time.

Everyday I see highly caffeinated muscle-heads walking around. Kinda scary though. Coffee to them are like brains to zombies. Yes. I said it. Coffee is not really my cup of tea.

I found a few tubes of watercolor and started messing around. This was the result. Though.. about the composition.. erm.. its features was actually taken from a friend, just that he/she don't know about it. And never have to. Because I've re-arranged his/her face. Muahahaha..

It is 3.20am. I am done with this "egg-shaped" thing which I think would be a good shape for a frog. I don't know why I thought of a frog though. Maybe because frogs are always a metaphor for ugly beings. Then I thought it would be nice for it to have literature by the side, so I came up with a poem to fill up the space. Poem reads:

"There once was a frog,
who loved a worm.
He then went to the bog,
to hide and squirm.

For he did not know,
of what could have been;
If he wanted it to glow,
would he be stuck in between?"

I don't know why I am in the mood for poems. Hope you enjoy this spontaneous-late night-unimaginative poem that I wrote. Some of you might get it though. But if you don't, I don't blame you.

Hello Fellow Khatibian?

This is self-explanatory. Just waking up to a sudden disturbing feeling.

Did this on a cardboard piece that I saw lying around in my workplace. That should explain why its brownish.

Done with pastel, color pencils and marker.

- its just those days -

2007-05-31T23:35:00.002+08:00

Its just one of those days where you just wake up and feel like drawing some animals. Well, I drew a couple of very unprofessional looking, very unpolished animals. I know I have to post drawings everyday, but its not like anybody is expecting it.

The bug was "photoshop'ed" cos I thought it looked cooler being black..

- to speak or spoken to -

2007-05-27T16:48:00.001+08:00

I think I'd rather be spoken to than to speak. What some people don't realize is that when they talk/speak, they tend to blabber about nonsensical whatnots (which I am a fan of). Hence, the preference of being spoken to.

During this therapy, I will post daily doodles of my new found love for drawing random nothings. This way, it will reflect upon how I feel everyday, cos I despise long entries.
