I went, They inspired, I painted!

Clear Skies - Arcrylic on canvas

@eleanorng & @yu11us asked me to join them at a friend's art pad on Saturday evening. Saw a few artists painting, and that inspired me. I had a few canvases lying around, and thought, I might give it a try. This is the resulting experiment. Not too bad for a 1st timer eh! Will see what else I can cook up! Thanks for the inspiration guys.

Earlier this week, I asked on Twitter, which of the seven days in a week, do you hate most. Mine was Blue Monday, and Where-was-the-weekend Sunday. Well, I'm going through the last few hours of the latter, and not looking forward to the former.

Spending quite a lot of time on Twitter and My Brute this weekend. Checkout this really simple Online RPG fighting game. http://cheemster.mybrute.com

Well, sigh, gonna end Where-was-the-weekend Sunday with an exciting FA Cup semi-final game between Manchester United and Everton! Have a good Sunday evening! And welcome Blue Monday :(

Oasis - Wonderwall (Live in Singapore 2009)

Apologies if the video seems to be abit shaky, as there was this sibeh tall ang moh standing in front of me so I had to put my hand way up high for that 3 mins plus. I think I was much better off that poor Plus One. She could hardly see anything with the sea of heads in front of her.

For those who didn't had the opportunity to head down for the gig. Here's one of three videos that I took. As all these were taken in HD, it takes me FOREVER to upload one video. More to come!

The Pantry Tour

Our office pantry is bursting with food.

After a season of drought (ie. no food), it seems like we've arrived at the land flowing with milk and honey.

Come, let me give you a tour around the pantry.

(They don't call me the Pantry Inventory Officer for nothing. Gotta do my job.)

Ice cream in abundance. And not just any ice cream kay, this is premium quality, various-flavours kind of ice cream.

The in-house favourite? Jamoca Almond Fudge. *ahem ahem hint hint*

Next, the famous Him Heang pneah all the way from Penang.

How can you forget, good ol' MAMEE. Brings us back to our schooling days. Comes complete with Optimus Prime stickers.

Japanese rice crackers. Look, even the packaging tells you to 'WANT WANT' it.

We don't only have Jap crackers, but we beli buatan Malaysia. Keropok Ikan Segera. Not Cap Kaki, not Cap Tangan, but Cap Mangkuk dan Keropok. Hahaha!
And if you need the assurance, ia "Boleh di makan selalu."

Show me the lurve.. Love letters. My favourite to start each morning. I have at least 6 everyday.

And our latest addition: DUNKIN DONUTS!

Never knew Dunkin Donuts had these funky-looking donuts, square-shaped and got sesame seeds some more.

You tell me, you tell me, how not to gain weight with a pantry like this???

Till the next update,
Your Pantry Inventory Officer.

What's the story? Morning glory!

I'm actually typing this on the way back to KL. Yesterday's Oasis concert was nothing short of pure awesomeness. If only I had mobile web access, this would be posted up right away. Sadly, by the time this gets posted, it would have been many many many hours later. Inspired by cyber-red, here's my own haiku:

What's the story? Morning glory,
The British boys were around,
And boy did they rock the house down!

Packed was the freaking stadium,
But hot it was not,
Unlike our very own Stadium Negara with no air, no air!

Gigs are of pure awesomeness!
But only if I go alone, and not "alone",
Just so that the focus in on stage, and no where else!

Distraction is what i need,
A target to achieve,
A mission to accomplish.

Short fun trip it has been,
Loving the island more and more,
So lets not look back in anger anymore.

My new found friends! (Plus one's kakis)
The Brit boys thick in action
Liam Gallagher
Noel Gallagher
Awesome stage man! PURE AWESOMNESS
Amazing light display!
