Guess I'm never Good Enough

Don't need to explain.

I already know I'm not good enough at anything or for anyone.

Sorry to let you down.

Photoshop Assignment Complete - Amy Lee

Wowee. What can I say? Within the short period of 6 weeks instead of the normal 12-13 week course duration, I have actually learned how to use Photoshop properly. Last year, I didn't even know how to use Photoshop. I was better in Paint than in Photoshop! This reminds me as to how ignorant I am at times but at least you know then that I do NOT Photoshop my photos cause I didn't know how to!

Digital Visualizing was a pretty tough course. They taught you the basics of Photoshop on the first day for like 1 and a 1/2 hours and the rest of the class was left for us students to start on our first project!!

Surprisingly, I got 18/20 (with a little help from my good friend ^_^) for the first assignment. The second one in which I received no help at all, I don't even want to know the marks. For the final one, I can't wait to see the marks XD

I'll just blog about the most interesting one and although you might be thinking as to WHY I'm blogging about Photoshop I don't really care. It's for my own personal ego boost that I need now and then, so "Meh" to you as to why you think this post is so lame.

Ok. Ok. I shall cut straight to it. I had to choose a person [whomever I liked, in this case Amy Lee], draw her in Photoshop from scratch and choose a background that is sorta suitable and render the background in using filters so that it loses the photographic quality of the photo. And most importantly, put your name on the front.

Comments welcome! (o^_^0)

Things Come But It Mostly Goes Away..

For one thing I've learnt about you, I really can't trust everything that you've said. I hope someday maybe you'll wake up and see how to do things responsibly and take measures for your actions.

I've also learnt that if you like someone to a certain extent, you can't hate them,;they chose the other. But learn to let go. I finally understand what it's like to let someone go and get some satisfaction in knowing that they're happy and you take all the burden to yourself.

Is that a sacrifice coming from me?

Perphaps.

But I also think I deserve better.

You're just case No. 2.

When will I learn from my mistakes?

Mandurah Crab Festival

Crab Festival.

Sounds tempting doesn't it.

Well, crab as in crustaceans not the parasites that some may find in their pubic region. Goddamn you perverts.

Jeremy invited me for this event and I accepted his invitation in hope of getting crab. Sadly, there wasn't much crab to go around since only ONE store sold crab.

Urgh. So much for crabs.

But on the other end, Jeremy, Marissa and I enjoyed the atmosphere of the Festival. We went for food sampling, not to mention, wine tasting as well.

By the end of the day, we were all sticky, sweaty and long for a good night's rest. Marissa couldn't handle it either and snoozed when we sent her back.

I fell asleep in Jeremy's car. The embarassing part - he took a shot of me sleeping with his iPhone whilst driving. I woke up due to the noise but thankfully it wasn't a shot of me with my mouth open/drooling T_T

Damn you Jeremy! *shakes fist*

Cirque Du Soleil - Dralion

Things seemed to have improved so far. I had the best time so far coming into 2009. My friend and I decided to go to the Cirque Du Soleil show in Perth [they've extended the show!] and I had discounts [apparently] if you buy them online. However, Netbank decided to fuck up last minute and we wanted to watch it desperately.

The show was at 8.00pm and it was 7.50pm.

10 minutes?

It's never too late!!

We sped all the way from South Perth to Langley Park, parked in the most expensive parking area [$10AUD for the miserly 2 hours] and ran inside to the ticketing counter and paid the full price of $89AUD each. [Thanks to friend-who-does-not-wish-to-be-named paid for me first]. Although the seats looked far from the stage, it was pretty close.

Live music performed along with circus acts = magical! From all the shows I've watched on TV, watching it live kicks ass. Not to mention, the A/C inside the tent was superb [FYI I love my ventilation].

If you don't know much about Dralion, the theme was the mix of the East meeting West. But personally, most of the costumes were mostly Asian based with infusions of Red, Gold, Yellow and Black. Some of the stunts were unseen before in the other shows which made me go "WOW".

In addition, if you're a fan of the Cirque Du Soleil music genre, this one is just as fab. What can I say, I love it!!!!

Souvenirs was a must. Although they are ridiculously over-priced for something like a key-ring [I collect key-rings and I bought 2 thinking it was a cheaper souvenir.... Boy, was I wrong. 2 keyrings costed me $36AUD. $18AUD each???]. If I was any richer and had money to spare [like last year] I would have gotten myself an authentic mask from them. They are wicked!

I came home feeling very satisfied. One of my many small dreams coming true :)

When I arrived, there was more good news! I've gotten tickets from Nuffnang AUS for the show "He's Just Not That Into You". They were giving out 25 x 2 passes to go see the show. Guess not many bloggers joined the competition. All the better for me!

Moreover, to add to my delight, I received my little BUDTRAPS. They are simply small devices which allows you to store your iPod cords tangle-free! I was suppose to pay $2USD for the postage but realised that my Paypal account only had $2AUD [$1AUD short] and decided to pay later. Who knew that they've already sent it without me paying? I basically got it FOC. They not only send 1 but 3 additional ones [4 all together! HOORAY!] supposedly for you to give them out to your friends [a marketing scheme I suppose]. But I'm just too miserly and only gave one out and decided to keep the rest for myself.

Best day in 2009! 3 March
