sigh

Words of the blogger: You reap what you sow.

Nothing much else to say. If you put the effort in, you get what you want. Nothing comes just like that, nothing comes falling off the sky into your lap. I wonder why i haven't bothered taking action on it though.

10 pages long blog posts?

Uhh... no, this is not really a 10 page long blog... well at least i think so, because with the amount of content i am about to stuff in, it could go well over the 10 page predictions >.< well, you be the judge of that.

So anyway, as you all have known anyway, i've been seriously slackin on the blog updates. I mean, like helluva lot. I always wanted to blog, but the increasing content i was to put it was sort of a throw off lol :P yeah thats right, i throw myself off from blogging by taking pics everywhere XD But u know, who likes an empty blog with just wording anyway eh? You gotta admit you loved those picture books more than novels as a kid :P

Been on abit of an emotional journey as well, mostly random stuff, but you know, the smell of tears just somehow feels so nostalgic. Its been a while since i had any.

SO, BACK ON TRACK, we'll start off with some pictures.


So you might recall that in the last post i made, i thought that bowl of clear soup chicken what not was good >.> and uhh... you can say i went abit over the top with this one... jeez, what i thought looked like 3-4 servings ended up as 3 days of food x_X and what they say is correct... Too much of something, no matter how much you love it is not good lol >.<


The pasta i used in it, and that made it extra soggier when i kept it overnight... for 2-3 nights SWT >.<>.>


Random pics prevail, and this is one of them... I had this blankey for a VERY long time. I mean, like... when i first shifted into my new house which was like what... 1998? 1999? lol... BUT THATS NOT THE SHOCKER! Its that i have not washed it till now. 2007. Thats right, close to 10 years people. Of no washes. I swear after i decided to wash it it came back so white i was sorta taken aback >.> i love my blankey~ *cuddles in it* xD


Yeah, cheap attempts at mocha actually don't taste too bad. 4 part milo, 3 part sugar, 2 part coffee xD I'm a cheap bastard. BUT IT TASTED ALRIGHT MIND YOU... YOU... RICH STARBUCKS( or coffeebean o.o) GOING RICH PEOPLE MABOBS! DAMNNN YOU ALL!! >.<


Yeah, during that time span i broke my glasses as well, though i think i mentioned it before o.o i think. Anyway, my dad sent off spare parts from Msia, claiming them to be 1:1 to my original one ^^" Ye.... Yeah... right. It didn't fit off the spot i tell you that, i had to shave the lenses to make them a better fit >.<


Not sure if you can notice as well but there are cracks on the lenses where the nose bridge segment is, and that doesn't make me feel very comfortable with them being frameless and all x_X


My partners in crime aiding me in my acts of gluttony. Seriously i've been so addicted to these that... well... (look below)


I KNOW. >.<>.> must've been the excercise...


Those of you who see this won't really understand it, but to me its just... weird. Ok. Thats my SanDisk MicroCruzer there, wrapped in its Lanyard, with the huge cap over it. Then there's my sister's one, which she left here and forgot to take with her... SO WHO DOES THE 3rd CAP BELONG TO?!?! O_O its just like wait a minute... thats... freaky. lol >.>


On the SanDisk note, yeah, thats 5.1 (2 more speakers behind me) hooked up to the Sansa E270. Audio bliss <3


Nothing much to say for this one except... uh... i was feeling random >.> The billabong wallet bought by my sister for me for my birthday present ;)


This i took pictures coz i thought it was funny lol. The night before i went out with Su Jun, a friend of mine and we went to a chinese restraunt for dinner lol. Needless to say what you see right there is a product of not being able to finish out food we ordered xD and yeah, its rectangular lol! Took the form of the container it was in :P


>.> y... yeah... uhh... its a mouse. >.>


Why is there a mouse in my hands you ask? huh huh? (assuming you asked)


Well i'm glad you asked. Thats actually my housemate's mouse lol >.<>.> even the other day when i was about to shower HE FOLLOWED ME INTO THE BATHROOM. Gave me quite the shock to see a fast moving brown furry thing follow me lol >.>


And thats how it got into my hands o.o


Yeah... somehow it looks pissed at me in this pic xDDDD


On to the next topic, 3d life. RAWR. What you're seeing here, is my GrandPower K100's (non updated with new skin) 9mm magazine. I completely remade it, with new bullets and rendered them. I realised i make the bullets a .45 ACP the last time when this gun uses a 9mm cartridge instead... >.> Yeah, i'm a gun freak. So sue me.


This is a new model i made as well, to be used with many of my future and current works. Its not actually textured, so what you're seeing there is just a generic texture. Thats a STANAG Magazine Clip, with 5.56mm NATO rounds in it. This clip is like a generic universal clip used in most NATO standard weapons, like the M4 and M16, TAR-21, L85A2, so on so forth. I KNOW TOO MUCH OK, I KNOW NOW SHUDDUP! GRR! >:O


Trillian Astra alpha version is out and can i say its sweetness <3 apart from the occasional crashes, which is due to it being in its alpha stages, its a very very phunk IM program. If you even notice, i've got X-Fire running :O. Its even got SKYPE! X_X


Another screenie of it, showing off its file transfer dialog. I think its t3h sexy. Don't argue with me that a program can't actually be sexy -_- i'll cut ur fingers off and dance in ur blood~ ;D

FUUU... THAT WAS LONG WASN'T IT? Well, i thought it was, but its barely even 1/3 into the blog post! thats right, its not over yet lol >.> The following pictures are from my easter vacation, up in my friend Jase's house in Broadmeadows. It was also a pre birthday thing since his birthday was close to an exam date lol.


Thats his dog, or as i know it, my leg space hijacker. Seriously, she climbed onto me and started resting on my lap? wtf eh.


-_- and she didn't want to get off... at least she didn't stink... >.> or pee on me... or did she... O_O *CHECKS PANTS* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!


you'll need to start remembering names from here on end lol... and i know this is a bad first pic of her, but that's ebony, my friend Jase's girlfriend. >.> <.< she looks abit... uhh... whacked in this pic X_X


This was after they got abit drunk (we drank similar amouts) and she started to lean on Jase's friend Phillip >.>


And yeah, maybe its just me but they couldn't handle alcohol as well as i could. I mean, look at that. After a few and theyre already on the bed -_-


I thought asians were supposed to have a lower alcohol tolerancy! WTF!! >.<


You've probably seen me use this pic around as well lol. I liked this pic, i dunno why xD thats Ebony and she collapsed on my leg from being too drunk -.- she couldn't even walk straight...


Don't think too much into it, its not really a threesome... or at least i want you to think so :D


Phillip is SOOO Not touching her boobs >.> y... yeah...


Nose excavation begins! Fire up the drill! xD


It had to come sooner or later. We all know that being that drunk that they were, it was inevitable they were to ride the white porcelain bus o.o


As well as nature bonding sessions. Let your inner liquids be one with nature :D


Hehe... so drunk... silly people o.o


Thats Jase right there, and come to think of it, i DON'T have any photos of them NOT drunk xD

Ebony right there... with a non washboard chest? hmm that wasn't how it looked like when she flashed the..... yeah.... uhh... what can i say, she was drunk and she flashed her boobs which Jase then followed up with some massage strokes >.<>.>


He looks like something was taken out of his hand's doesn't it :D


More toilet fusion madness! :D


Now with extreme hangover skillz! WOOO~


Yeah, he was kind of drunk >.> he took a slice of bread and went to the bath and started eating it? LOL. funny drunk people oh how thy entertain me.


Don't think too much into this picture, sometimes things are not what they seem to be.... or are THEY? HMMMMMMM!!!


Spreading the love of the night, and on the tables the vodka shots which we so kindly took down lol.


Jase & Ebony... Sorta cute pic if they weren't so drunk lol


Hmm... they weren't THAT drunk in this pic lol. We were competing in SNK vs Capcom, where the loser and the people who bet on him had to drink a vodka shot each lol >.>


Phillip, Ebony & Jase in the computer room o.o


Really, not one sober pic lol >.>


This was the pic i decided not to put up into the 5alpha blog site :P you can actually see the mush o.O


I mean, seriously we only drank this much, yet i was the only one who wasn't drunk, and was awake the whole time till the afternoon >.<


Finally, to end it all, a picture of Jase in his bread eating in bathroom glory lol.

What? did i say end it all? I meant end in just the pictures segment? HOLY CRAP, YES THERE'S MORE X_X

What i'm about to post is actually a dream i had which actually stuck with me, even till today. I wrote it down and was supposed to include sketches of what i saw, but u know, some other time. This post is long enough as it is.

The journey into Ham's magical mushy pink in head land begins...

-=DREAM APRIL 16, 2007=-

To my blog readers out there… have you ever had a dream where it first begins so incredibly scary you’d wish you’d wake up yet as it progresses it turns so surreal that you enjoyed every bit of it? (not to mention random)

I just got one today (This was written the day i dreamt it). x3 it was incredible, but even then, that would be an understatement to its awesomeness… Its hard to remember each detail in its chronological order but I’ll try…

Dream started off with me going home from uni, it was sort of a weird one, coz it wasn’t my uni as well and the setting was a sort of desolate location like some outskirt part of Malaysia…

I don’t really remember how these few bits went off but I remembered that I was wearing in line skates… in the beginning… I was skating home with a friend, when I decided to take a shortcut from my usual and turn left at a junction instead of go straight… my friend of course, went on forward… after skating down the left path after a while, from the dense urban environment around me, reminiscent of the scene just outside of the Adelaide metro train station, I suddenly entered quite an uncared for piece of land.

It was full of shrubs and weeds which grew so tall they overshadowed me. I figured at the time that I was lost so as I went along trying to cut my way through the untamed vegetation, I saw infront of me a house, but no shrub or weed grew near it. Just around this patch of land itself, the grass was grey. Like REALLY grey and it really contrasted itself away from the weeds that were growing around me.

The house was a single storey one, with a pillar up the front, sorta similar to a house that recently got demolished neighboring my home in Malaysia. I saw a man, dressed in blacks, sitting and leaning face down on the pillar just out side, body facing such that I could only see part of his back. From the looks of his skin, he looked like he was Malay. I decided to approach him

Even from afar he looked quite ominous, but I decided to pay no attention to it as it might have just been my imagination. As I approached him from behind I began shouting out “Excuse me! Hey~ excuse me, I’m sorta lost”. The figure did not move or budge from his location. I then decided to approach him from infront, where I would look at him straight on and ask him…

So I circled my way from the back and went from the front… as I stood infront of him and ask him about perhaps some directions, the entire frame of his body disappeared as if it were just ash… like it just got blown away by a soft wind of some sort… I just stood infront, still shocked from what had happened when I suddenly felt a cold chill stare coming from my left, into one of the windows in the house.

As I turned to take a look past the windows, what I saw left me shocked and afraid. I saw a mother wearing a Malay sarung and tudung holding her child by the hand, all looking downwards; bodywise facing my direction… they had no legs. Their legs were sort of faded out into the scenery. At that point in time in the dream, I knew that I had seen a ghost.

Before I knew it, countless amounts of them began appearing around me, ranging from all different kinds of races and age groups. I was left in shock and so much fear, I swear I could hear all kinds of noises echoing all around me. I then picked up what was left of me and started bolting out of the compound as fast as I could, being tormented by the laughs and stares of those I saw behind me.

In the next scene, the next thing I knew I was at home, though different from my usual home. I was different, a place I had not seen before, yet I still called it home. Perhaps I should include some illustrations later on what I saw in those dreams. That will have to come later. I dropped onto the bed and started to cover myself as to block out myself from the world around me. It helped none as I felt the dark presence beginning to overlook me once again. They had followed me back.

I heard their whispers and their talks all around me, muffling their voices out with my pillow to my ears seemed to have not been as efficient as I talk. The figures whom I could remember distinctly was that of a little Indian boy, and several other children. There were some middle aged looking ones as well, all standing around my bed.

I figured that they wouldn’t leave me alone anyway so I began to ask outloud, as if to only talk to myself, “WHAT IS IT THAT I NEED TO DO TO GET RID OF YOU GUYS?”. The Indian boy looked at me and answered back “The house at which you went into the compound to, you need to go there tonight and stay there from 12am to 6am for this curse to be lifted”.

You gotta be kidding me. Staying in a ghost infested house in that amount of time? I wouldn’t live the night! I thought of other ways and I said out “But I could also call an exorcist to be rid of you guys right?”. The ghostly children looked at me in silence. I somehow knew what was going on. There was some curse placed in the house that didn’t allow the people who had once dwelled in it to pass on into the next stage. I knew that somehow these children had been waiting for someone to help them achieve that, and by stroke of perhaps what I term fate, I had been chosen as the one to grant them that. I knew at that point as well that if I called in an exorcist, I would only be rid of them, but I wouldn’t be able to send the others into the rest they deserve. Yeah, you guessed it. I decided to be the nice guy even in a dream full of ghosts I was so afraid of. I took up their offer to stay in the house for 6 hours… what could possibly happen… right?

Next thing I knew I was in the house. It was incredibly dark and shady all over, empty with no piece of furniture and incredibly creepy. I got a hold of myself and just sat on the ground near the front door, cross legged and closed my eyes. The next bit was the most surreal one. I felt as if I got sucked in, the whole environment around me changed. As I opened my eyes once again, the place was no longer empty, but furnished all over. No longer dark but was bright and lighted every corner with adults and children alike running all over the house.

It was just incredible and breathe taking for that moment I don’t know why. It was almost like shifting into another dimension, one that we perceived to be into the one that it actually is. I looked around me as I got up from my cross legged seating position and looked all over the place. The people around me greeted me so kindly and took me in. I recognized some of the faces to be the ones that I previously saw in those ghostly apparitions which daunted me from before, now happily smiling at me and took me all over. It had seemed to me that all kinds of spirits have been dwelling in this house, from those who have understood their fate and have been waiting to move on to those who just couldn’t forget their past lives and were reliving them. I was guided around by this lady, whom I think was Indian around the place.

As we entered just a few steps into the room on the left, I and my guider took note of the furious looking man who had now appeared, stomping his foot getting closer to us, looking ever so serious. I had no idea what was going on, but he seemed to be staring at my hostess, the lady. I then took note to his right hand, he was holding a semi-automatic handgun, one which I was quite familiar with as well! The GrandPower K100, Slovakian armed forces standard issue. Don’t ask me why, and no, he wasn’t Slovakian. He seemed to be an Indian man in his early 30’s, with a sort of unrefined look, coupled with an unshaven beard and long messy hair.

In a sort of unpredicted move, he raised his hand and with a swift move as the Indian woman greeted him “Hi ho….”, he shot her straight into the chest. I froze at that moment to see the woman beside me tumble then lunged for him shouting “WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING!” I tackled the man’s right hand first, the one that held his firearm. As onlookers stood and watch the commotion, I took his wrist, pulled on the trigger guard of the K100 and then slid the slide forwards… after all, this is how you remove the slide and render it useless… for this model.

As I held the slide in my hands, I looked at him with a sort of infuriated look and then turned my head around to look at the woman who was shot, but she wasn’t there anymore. As I faced back forward as well, the man that had been standing in front of me disappeared and I felt the slide of the firearm which I held in my left hand crumble. I was just sort of lost in what was going on and just spaced out abit when I saw that Indian boy again. He took me by the hand and began leading me into the next room, where a lot of the children were, then into the next one, which had something which looked like a bath tub, only much much wider.

As we entered the room, I saw a sense of panic suddenly cross his face as he quickly jumped into that large tub filled with water up to ½ with some of the other children, shouting at me “QUICK! GET INSIDE TOO!” I didn’t think much into the logical sides of it and just went into the tub as well, then heard a massive explosion from where we were, flames bursting everywhere.

Out of the flames from the room I was just in rushed out a man, completely engulfed in flames, running rampant all over before he tumbled into the bath like thing as well, with his scarred and charred body facing me. Yeah, I got a pretty good look at his burnt up face with eyeballs and all.

I didn’t quite understand the occurrences of the next few bits, but then again who is that silly to try and understand everything that is happening in a dream eh?

After everything had settled down abit, I got out of the bath tub thingy, and went back to the entrance of the place… It had completely changed, and strangely enough had people on the couch. Dreams defy logic. Don’t ask why lol. I asked them “Uh… did the layout of this place just change?” they only nodded. The layout was of a much more brighter one, with key features I remembered being that behind the couch there was a glass panel window, in which showed the lush green vegetation outside.

I couldn’t be bothered with knowing the details at the time really. I mean, its just a dream whether I was aware of it or not, so I went back to where I came from, and enter the next room after that one, only to have everything fade to black around me. I don’t know why, but at this point I saw my friend Iggy close by to me. He shouted to me “Quick, take my hand so as not to lose each other in this darkness” I quickly went out and reaches for his hand, but as I grasped it, I felt it slowly slipping away, as if inevitable, but never the less I refused to let go and tried to get a hold of it more.

During that moment, my grip suddenly became firm and everything around me began to slow down. As I heard a calm voice from up above of that of a woman talk to me (I can’t really remembered much of what she said) I noticed that my friend infront of me began do dissipate... by that I mean sort of like… go into bright green glowing balls, sort of like Will-o-wisps >.> from the amount of light the glowing emitted, I managed to see as well that there were other people that he was holding on to, sort of like a human chain, yet I was at the end of it and the people who were infront of me began losing their form, turning into the glowing greenish orb things…

I heard abit of what that booming voice said, and part of it was “Thank you for your help, now we can finally be free again… However we don’t need two sacrifices… thank you..” Here’s me assuming by sacrifices that meant me and friend, but I heard nothing about sacrifices at the beginning! >:O well, anyway, my friend disappeared along with them, with a sort of peaceful face so to say… and when I woke up (still in the dream) I was all alone again, collapsed flat on the ground where I first entered the house, it was the brink of dawn and my 6 hours were over. The sun shined into the empty house’s broken windows, illuminating every inch of it.

Pretty weird eh? xD
