Finally (T_T)
Got the letter from IRB, informing me that I'm gonna get my cheque in 2 weeks time - after all the issue here and there.
And thanks to TC for helping out ;)
I recalled a statement by the Swatch CEO - that I read somewhere & sometime ago, something like:
"The best inspiration you can get is to see the world from a 6 year-old kid point of view"
Not sure if it's still relevant for now, cos the kids nowadays are no longer that innocent.
It's the thing that every human seek for, I believe.
In fact, I feel that the people nowadays, should live happier than last time.
With technology, you get to contact your friends easier.
By understanding more about human rights, people know what they can actually ask for
By understanding the freedom they have - people get to choose the subject they want to study, the job they want to work (and leave the job if they're really unhappy about it)
People can sing in the pub if they want to.
People can take the photograph if they want to.
People can choose the country they want to live in.
But but but.... by abusing the rights.... one might potentially make the people around unhappy - while you are selfishly happy on your own.
Is that the reason why we see some people nowadays, who seemingly look happy, but is unhappy inside?
It's all about the balance, after all.
About 5 years ago I had this nightmare - it was still vivid until today.
I dreamed that I visited my grandparents in a condo.
But when the lift opened up at the floor which my grandparents stayed in...
The whole floor was in a rather dark ambiance.
And I saw many written spell pasted on the walls and the doors of every unit.
I tried to look for grandparents but they were not in house.
Then I saw one house without the written spell pasted on the door - so I knocked the door and see if I can get any info.
The old man who answered the door told me one and the only sentence, before he disappeared:
"Don't you know that, you're already dead?"
OMG, thanks to my friend's insistence and introduction - I finally, in my life, ordered a pint of Guinness Draught...
AND it's WAY BETTER than those bottled or canned version.
Then another friend of mine told me 'Welcome to the club'.
You can say that I'm still in denial, but I'm still gonna say:
"I'm a person who prefers plain water"
Last night I had a very weird dream - I dreamed that I'm gonna get sentenced to death (for dunno what reason)
All my family members accepted the truth.
None of us cried.
All of us talked to each other like normal.
I walked into a very huge house, my mind told me that I'll need to find an 'animated painting' in one of the rooms for redemption.
The 'animated painting' will be deemed invalid if the 'animated person' in the middle of the painting 'vanish'
I found the paintings in several room, and the 'animated person' went missing before I took the painting from the wall.
Feeling frustrated, but again, there was one thought struck my mind: "Well, too bad that I haven't got me and my friend's CV done'
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
While I think it's a bit complicated to write the analysis of this dream, but it seems, after all, my life is still ok so far..? :P
Anyone who works in the same client site with me would agree on this - if you ever get the 'ramp car park' it feels like winning the lottery.
And I had that feeling yesterday ;)
Suddenly, with this new necklace, I felt as if I'm cannibear - the bear version of cannibal.
But no way, this is just a feel.
Title: Random II
Music: 2008
Lyrics: 2008 - 2010 (still unfinished)
Short Note: Somewhere in 2008, I had idea of this song - something psychedelic, something random, something contradicting.
The melody was 'written' on the spot, but the lyrics were never completed (even for now)
So, little by little, I completed about 35% of the lyrics below (most of the time I 'wrote' the lyrics when I was walking on the street)
And yesterday, I talked to a friend about this, and this friend's 'existence' sort of force-inspired me to complete the rest of them. (and this friend wanted to claim full credit for it, well, so be it)
Music wise, I'd say it's another small milestone - I had used drum sample from Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows, then guitar part, I used my acoustic guitar, with DSP effect by Magix Vandal VST + Waves various plugins = some nice electronic guitar effect.
I won't deny the music style (It's still my first attempt) is heavily influenced by Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows - but I have a good feeling of perfecting it :)

Lyrics:
I was on setting sun,
What had I done last night?
Another kind of crime,
My soul is purified.
(lalalalalala X n)
I was on swimming gown,
I climbed a mountain high.
Another sunny sky,
With rain drops touch the ground.
In fact, it's the hardest creature to deal with, in this world.
It's hard to change their mentality,
It's hard to change their attitude,
It's hard to change their behavior,
It's hard to change their preference,
It's hard to understand them.
It's hard to please them.
It's hard to trust them.
So, in terms of work, I guess people management skill is the hardest thing to acquire - for technical skill, you can get the replacement much easier than a good manager (who, apparently, knows how to manage)
And therefore, in life - is that the reason why human chooses to have a pet? (as it's easier to do the few things I mentioned above on pet, rather than on human)
At least they don't cheat.
I blame internet for being largely responsible for today people's lack of appreciation.
You get the music easily
You get to communicate with people easily.
You get the news update easily.
You get the access to various information easily
End up, you don't appreciate them - or to be at least, you felt everything was as if 'no big deal'
or, like my friend said "undecidedly divided"
Sunday(Sun's Day) - the day of God
Monday (Moon's day) - this second day was sacred to the goddess of the moon.
Tuesday (Tyr's Day) - This day was named after the Norse god Tyr.
Wednesday - The day named to honor Wodan (Odin).
Thursday (Thor's Day) - The day named after the Norse god Thor.
Friday (Frigg's Day) - The day in honor of the Norse goddess Frigg.
Saturday (Saturn's Day) - named by the ancient Romans in honor of Saturn.
Verdict: I should have watched this way before (500) Days of Summer - they're equally good!
This is a movie about the memory erasure.
Of course, it's a science fiction but when this blends with the 'romance' element - it was quite a good end product.
A couple had a bad quarrel - they went for memory erasure programme, separately, to erase the memory of their partner - which acts as a instant way to move on for breakup.
Most of the story happened in the guy's mind - in which the memory erasure was taking place.
(To be more detail, when the memory erasure happened, the memory of the guy and his girl friend will be replayed - before it falls apart)
So you can see how the guy became resistant to the fading memory - cos he realised that it is important.
Movie pace wise, it's slightly slower than "(500) Days of Summer" but the winning part is the idea - to me, I'll comprehend it as:
Even if you erase the memory away - the feeling, the attraction, the passion won't go far from the 'original design' - cos that's you yourself.
So, accept the fact before you want to do any 'modification'
Rating: 9/10
