plagiarism and all that jazz at it's best

Yo peepz! Wassup wassup!

Okay, enough of this ghetto talk. Trying to spice up my opening line a little considering I have blogged in eons. Probably landed myself a lame opener instead. Let's start over. G'day y'all. I'm back and resurrected from blogger cemetery. Been bugged down with work week after week, practically on shift every weekend. Boo. No one likes weekend shifts and that include MOI! Cannot complain I suppose, it brings in the much needed extra dough. Can't wait for pay day for the first fortnight in October. Training for new equipment means long tiring hours. PLUS I've got an 11 hour shift coming up. Hoorah.

I've been snooping around the lives of those who broadcast their daily escapades online for all to see. The most popular in Singapore obviously being the infamous dawn yang (yeo/yang who cares) and the person who's alias is xiaxue. Before you jump to conclusions, I am neither a fan or a hater or both, but merely that of a very bored person looking for humor through stupid public broadcasts of pointless opinions and idiotic thoughts. I know many could say that of my blog too, BUT on the contrary, I don't get paid and hardly anyone reads this anyway.

So the local goss in the virtual world, if you're not clued in yet is regarding the long withstanding feud between the aforementioned. First one gets sued for causing defamation to the other, and now has this thing going on about plagiarism. WOW. How much drama can there be for just having a blog. I did a little search and found many other blogs practically dedicated to this rivalry and their support or disdain from either. Talk about stalker behaviour. Geez. These people actually bother to create screenshots of what goes on and do serious rseaech before posting. It's almost as good as writing a thesis.

Now, I could cut and paste stuff so you'd understand what I'm referring to. That would just take too much trouble and time, and considering what DY was going through, I'd rather not take my chances. Sure I could attribute stuff, but who cares. Apparently she seriously ripped stuff off sites and claimed them as her own. True or not, I don't know. It's hearsay on my part. It just shows how easy it is to right click, cut and paste. Scary. What amazes me is the amount of effort she puts into her blog to either look for stuff or edit certain things so it doesn't say anything about surgery or defame herself. Imagine the hours it would take just sitting at the com.

Think about how much time XX takes to photoshop the pictures she puts up! To erase the blemishes or cellulite or whatever she doesn't like about herself. I could say plastic surgery would of course be harder but then again, she's had that done too. Kudos to her for going through all that trouble though. I would never be bothered. Face it, if you're ugly you're ugly. The amount of shite she slabs on her face, it's a wonder her bf didn't get a shock after the first time he slept with her and woke up to a completely different face.

In this information age, the lack of privacy is something we almost have to live with. Obviously with some, they choose to give it up. This just goes to show we should all be careful what we post. Best to not post at all. Haha.

Ok that's my thought of the day, or at the rate I blog, fir the next few months

Toodles!

take a bow, why doncha?

Chilling by the Pool

More stuff from the FISHEYE! That's the only thing about film, once you start taking photos, you absolutely gotta finish snapping in order to develop the rest. Cotsts a bomb, but the outcome is always more than satisfying. Especially when it's photos taken from a LOMO.



View from the Bottom

I was quite happily snapping away at the Waterford too. I always can't be arsed to carry my camera around. This was worse, especially with my big ass four bulb flash. But it was well worth it. The pictures came out FAB-O! Have a look.

Blogged with the Flock Browser

Hold you forever in the middle of my heart

So we had a night out and went a little crazy with the camera whoring, but it's these things that make it all the more memorable. Awesome company = awesome night, enough said.



Here everyone is trying to find themselves a "train look". It's a long story, but somehow we've all patented one. Except Jem of course, that just his normal look. Lol.



I think about the amount of digital photos that pile up after everyday events...how many photographs will I possibly have in 5 years! Jeez...when I have a kid, almost every moment of my life would have been recorded, in that digital photo sense of course. I don't want my kid to see all the stupid things I've done!



Sure, I'll laugh now, 5 years down the road. But when my kid's 13 at pulling at any string to be able to use as an excuse against me as a parent...boy oh boy, that would not be good. Hahaha.

And I will admit, I've done some extremely stupid things in my life. Live, learn and let live.

I'm in a good place now, but life will always be like a yo-yo. We all have our ups and downs. Like you tell me, I just gotta hang on.


Baby I'm your light and I'm your shelter
Baby you are mine
I could freeze the time
Keep you in my kitchen with me forever
Gonna be a pie from heaven above
Gonna be filled with strawberry love
Baby don't you cry
Gonna make a pie
And hold you forever in the middle of my heart.

Gonna bake a pie from heaven above
Gonna be filled with butterscotch love
Gonna bake a pie from heaven above
Gonna be filled with banana creme love

Baby don't you cry
Gonna bake a pie
Hold you forever
Hold you forever
And hold you forever in the middle of my heart.

When the world is gray and bleak
Baby don't you cry
I will give you every bit of love that's in my heart
I will bake it up into a simple little pie�

Baby don't you cry
Gonna make a pie
Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle
Baby don't be blue
Gonna make for you
Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle.
Gonna be a pie from heaven above
Gonna be filled with strawberry love
Baby don't you cry
Gonna make a pie
And hold you forever in the middle of my heart.

Baby here's the sun
Baby here's the sky

keep you head still, i'll be your thrill

This may be a little overdue, but we went for the Maroon 5 concert and I must say I was quite disappointed, right from start to end. We were all so looking forward to the concert considering One Republic was opening for them and they had at least 2 hit singles out on the radio. I was all set to be crooned by a bunch of guys. We got the bunch of guys, crooned, I think not.

One Republic was surprisingly and most deafeningly whiny...in a Coldplay kind of way, just worse. What happened to the soulful voice we hear on the radio? I think he tried to hard to prove he could sing liveeeeeeee. That was how he ended his sentencessssss. (Think pitch going up and down) They performed that way for half an hour. Woo-hoo. Not. And another half an hour after that only did Maroon 5 appear on stage.

Ridiculous. Gates opened at 6.30pm, M5 came on at fucking 9pm. They were on for only slightly over an hour. What a waste of my fucking dough. $92 for whinging opening acts and a short performance??? I felt awfully cheated. Especially when we were all so hyped up for it. The 1st thing my sister said when Adam Lavigne appeared on stage was "Couldn't he wear something nicer, dress up a bit?". Jeez.

The most entertainment we got was this "siao lao char bo" (crazy old woman)  dancing around like an idiotic maniac, with moves so cruelly funny I almost dropped to the ground laughing. I swear, the 3 of us could not take our eyes of her. I probably made Jem crack up more when I try to imitate her cool moves.

Whatever it is, whenever I hear M5 on the radio now, I don't feel like singing to it anymore. Don't get me wrong, he sang live really well. But I didn't feel his performance at all...the passion, energy, entertainment etc etc, NONE.

Poo on you M5.

with you the sun always shines

I cannot get enough of this photo, Chantrea is just simply adorable here. As she always is of course. Unbelievable how grown up she looks here, at only 2 and a half. It's funny, sometimes she looks like a replica of my sis, at other times she looks exactly like Rog. Whatever it is, she is loved to bits by her family and is the apple of all our eyes. Sometimes when I talk to her I forget how young she really is, with her well-spoken and constructed sentences. She's definitely Mommy's girl, and Daddy's girl, and Grandmama's girl etc etc, you get the drift.



Just a random photo I pulled of Jem's facebook...I miss Jan, my little Hobbit, Sam Wise. Jem's face once again is priceless. Haha. He almost looks too happy Jan's about to peck him on the cheek. And I just noticed the dude in the background. Weird. Obviously the foreground is just as weird. Come back my hobbit, Perth awaits your arrival. I need my film critic partner back, the one who listens to me and simply laughs at things I say. =(

you are the apple of my eye

St Patrick's Day - we were on fire

Happy Easter everyone...I'm supposing everyone had a rather pleasant long weekend (unless you live in Singapore and you don't get Easter Holidays, then too bad for you). Hahaha I'm evil. Friday to Monday has been fantastic, just relaxing and chilling and catching up with friends. The weather has been A-Okay too. Heat is finall  y going but now the cold is coming. I'm not sure which is better.


 
Normality amongst friends
 

Every year I celebrate St Patrick's Day, but in all honesty, I don't know what I'm celebrating. All I know is, it's a reason to drink and be merry. Enough said don't ya think?

Drinking #101 - Don't drink on an empty stomach




Cue: Evil grin

don't let me go to waste

THE 21ST WESTERN AUSTRALIA SCREEN AWARDS

We won! We fucking won! Can't bloody for the life of me believe that we did it. Noogar Dandjoo won the Best Community Television Program. I sat there in total shock after our name was announced, everything else seemed like such a blur. We came such a long way, and worked our butts of to get the program complete. 4 episodes - voxpops, profiles, art pieces, the making of, and an art gallery exhibition.

We did it, we bloody did it. If it weren't for the neverending support of our tutors and the Aboriginal Community here, we could not have done it.

If not for my friends who were always there to support me and push me forward, I couldn't have done it. For everyone who stood behind us and believed in our show, we did it. This is for you.

maybe in another life you'll want me

you're like a cigarette, a bad habit i can't kick

Yeah, I'm exstatic forlove
Fanatic of love
And if I'm not around
It's you I'm thinkin' of
I'm gonna make it real for you
Whenever I deal wit you
I do do do do anything

I guess you wonder where I've been
I searched to find the love within
So I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go

Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, do for love
You tried everything
But you won't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love
What I would not do
Do for love
You tried everything
Won't give up

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Cause I'm in a daze from your love you see
So I came back to let you know
I got a thing for you
And I can't let go
And though I only want the best it's true
I can't believe the things I do for you
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything
But you don't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love
What I would not do

Yeah, come on now, listen
Through the ghetto and the projects of Queens
I gotta get to you cause you do them things to me
My love shows Nobody knows how my adrenaline flows and to the heights it goes and eh yo see
Cause when you're filling me up
You're enough when you're ready for that nut
Baby I'll be that buttercup
And I catch every drop
You got a chick who will lie for you
I go thru the storm
And skip to the road block
We can rumble in cuss
We can fight
We can fuss

But no I'm never giving up
It's nothing I won't do
Nothing I won't go through
You're worth the joy and the pain
I will keep it true

What you won't do
Do for love
You tried everything
But you won't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love
What I would not do

Do for love
You tried everything
Won't give up
Do for love
You tried everything
Won't give up

houston, i think we have a problem. Yuck Fou.

look at all these happy people, living their lives.






life is such a blank







don't you know that misery loves me

slo-motion

I just bought this from the Lomo shop. I can't wait. It's exciting. Always wanted fish-eye lenses. Always wanted a "Lomographic" camera.

Arrives in 5 - 10 days. Let's hope it's 5, more than 10.

And who said digital is the way to go?

i got it from my mama

I want this phone. It's red and it's hot. But I bloody have to wait till March before I get it.



I also want this phone. It's also hot. Decisions decisions.

I reckon Optus really just wants to rip people off their money. F*ckers. Lol. Their plans cost more than Three, and they offer less. What rubbish. Everybody switch to Three so my mobile bills will go down! lol.

I shouldn't say too much, for now they are still my mobile line service provider.

on the fast track to losing it

These are my friends. And I love them in all their retardedness. What bliss to live in spastic normality. You know I mean that only in a good way.

in a hurry to nowhere

Just some fun booth moments. Piss yourself silly taking these photos...it's a blast! Of course you need a crazy friend next to you to make the experience "funner".

and then there was one

Just some before and after photos of Angel and Malie. Looking back on the photos, they were both so squishy and adorable!! They've grown tremendously and are getting too much for me. Unfortunately, I'm giving one up for adoption. It'll be for the better of both dogs though, I just don't have the capacity to look after both. That way I can dedicate more time to one dog, and the other can go to a loving family with hopefully more space than my place.

Malie (white) will be given up for adoption. It's gonna be really really sad for Angel and I. Angel dotes on Malie so much, I'm sure she's gonna be so lonely once she's alone. She'll probably wonder a lot where her sister has gone. So will Malie. Makes me sad just thinking about it...I told myself I'd never give another dog up after the last time my parents forced me to give away my cocker spaniel. I'll probably cry...but I know it's for the best. It'd be unfair to both dogs for me to keep the both of them.

Sighhh...

why'd you have to be so scared

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, let the cold winds blow

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

*From the soundtrack of Juno

apparently i'm fucking materialistic

Enslaved
© By Jennifer E. Beyer

At night I sit alone and watch the shadows dance around.
I hold my breath and listen yet silence is the only sound.
I reach for some comfort yet feel no embrace.
I am tired of the emptiness and loneliness of this place.
I can feel no more hurt because I have learned to live with my pain.
I often wonder how I survived and continue to stay sane.
I have hurt so deeply and cried too many tears.
I have been empty and broken for so many years.
I am tired of pretending that I am fine and all is okay.
I am tired of hiding behind this mask I wear every day.
I have drifted so far and can no longer be saved.
These feelings hold me captive and to them I am enslaved.

it's a blessed blasted thing

It's like you wish someone could understand,
The pain and suffering at hand.
It's like you wish someone simply knew,
But such compassion is far and few.

It's like they always seem to forget,
Seems life's always about tit for tat.
It's like the memories just fade away,
No one seems to try to make them stay.

It's like it never happened at all,
The focus is always on the fall.
It's like as if no one ever really tried,
We just sat there and we cried.

It's like life's just a big fucking game,
We're all just fighting to stay sane.
It's like the world's just a piece of shit,
But none of us dare to say we quit.
