I've lied to you
The same way that I always do
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
Everything falls apart
Even people who never frown
Eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end
You'll soon find we're out of time left
To watch it all unwind
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me
Pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me
Pushes me away
I've tried like you
To do everything you wanted to
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
Everything falls apart
Even people who never frown
Eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end
You'll soon find we're out of time left
To watch it al unwind
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me
Pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me
Pushes me away
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
The sacrifice is never knowing...
- Pushing Me Away by Linkin Park (or Linkin Pig according to Yong Hao... LOL)
I just want to be an entity of this world. Just what I am. I don't see the point of striving so hard to ace something. There's just no point. One day we're all gonna wake up and know the end is coming. Will all your As and Bs matter? Once you die, everything comes to naught. The board will be zeroed. Someone else will take over the board and start mixing once again.
Life is sorta like an audio tech station. Someone comes and sends stuff to the channels and they play sounds. They might screw up by sending the signals to the wrong inputs. They may have a confusion and patch stuff wrongly. Some can't get out of their situation, and go around in loops. Some like to make a loud statement, causing overload. Some like to keep quiet and abuse the mute buttons too much. Some only want to follow a single path and solos one channel or a few. Others want to take in everything and use up all the channels. Some complicate things and have to use the buses and the aux sends. Others keep it simple and can get by with just some channels.
Sigh. The one thing I always emphasized is, "Like what you do and do what you like". I won't necessarily like what I do and do what I like. But one thing's for sure, I'll always take responsibility for what I do. Bitch as I might, I can never truly attribute my passes or failures to anyone else but me. 'Cause I know I'm the one in control of what I can and can't do, and I don't ever want people to steer me like a vehicle. I'd probably like off-road driving, so don't put me on your paths and expect me to follow.
I'm not really thinking coherently now. Boredom does that to me a lot.
Something else.
I had a dream last night. It was a very very bizarre dream. I dreamt that I was a megaflirt. No joking. I was surrounded by all sorts of people and I was checking everyone out, and everybody whom I checked out were all smitten and wanted a piece of me. They worshipped me. They wanted me. They loved me and wanted no one else to be with them through everything but me. And each of them could see that they had competition. Each of them stepped up their game. It was a bit scary, but I just felt so high up. The strange thing was I loved every single one of them. I did. I looked into every pair of eyes and felt the same reverence and adoration for every pair. I held every hand and felt the same warm fuzzy feeling. I kissed every cheek and lip and felt the same thrill and passion. But don't get me wrong. It's not at all monotonous. Each and every look, touch and kiss had a distinct feel that told me who I was with for the moment, but the one thing everything had in common was it felt awesome. Something out of this world, something I never had. It's not something platonic and family love can bring. It really isn't. When I finally woke up, I was smiling. My intended mission in life to love and be loved just got clearer. Perhaps that's all I really need.

TEN random things about me.
1. I'm stuck halfway between pescatarian and vegetarian, though I can safely say I'm 80% vegetarian and 20% pescatarian.
2. I love music but can't play it.
3. Despite being a so-called film student, I watch less than 3 films per year, both in theatres and on DVDs.
4. I actually wanted to have psychokinesis when I was a kid.
5. 80% of the printed shirts I own can't be found in regular shops. (Most are from Threadless, some are production tees, some are Children's Day tees from HKHK.)
6. I have been a Sim fan for 7 years and counting!
7. I have been an LP fan for 6 years and counting!

NINE ways to win my heart.
1. Be aware of my vegetarianism and know where I have decent meal options during any sort of outing.
2. Don't say "I love you" out loud, but just hold my hand and look me in the eyes. It's more than enough.
3. Just be yourself. If I do win my heart, you would've done it just by being yourself and not pretending to be someone else.
4. Be nice to animals, or at least leave them alone.
5. Be tolerant to others.
6. Stick with me through all the tough times.
7. It'll be quite a bonus if we like some of the same stuff, but if not it's okay.

Here's the deal:
NVP Final Project shoot was pretty fun, though it's not without bumps and grinds along the way.
Some personality clashes here and there, some deep-shit situations to deal with, but we've got through all that, and we're still a team, all of us are still in one piece : D
My job there was to do the slate and production field log, though due to difficulties juggling both, I sometimes pass the job to Yong Hao or anyone who's willing to help to do logging while I "struggle" to put the slate within the frame : P Hey, not an easy feat for someone as clumsy as me okay! I'm happy enough that I haven't broken any stuff or fucked anything up yet. I swear I might commit one major fuckup or a few tiny fuckups here and there during the editing.
Speaking of fuckups... I fucked up LocPro... WritComm... AudioTech... SocPsyh... CATS... shit... that's almost everything! LocPro is a serious fuckup 'cause it's a failing grade so far, if I fuck up the written test, I'm fucked. I'd like to start SocPsyh journal now because it's due on Monday (and I only knew it was due then on Friday, no thanks to my perpetual detachment from the harsh reality), but I'm just too tired (and I honestly can't be bothered) to go and get started on the journal. What am I supposed to write about? What am I supposed to do? Why do I have to do this?
Sigh. I do know it isn't good to keep being so detached from reality, to be so blur and keep on not knowing anything, to be so lazy and unmotivated, but I don't know what to do about that. I have to stop switching off or else I'd die trying to pass a single module. Right now I'm riding on everyone's talents and abilities in group work to keep my grades up. All my individual work usually looks smoky or just damn fucked up, and I really cannot concentrate in class. It's not because of anything in particular, it's just that I can't see how much my attention is needed. Yes, lecturers tell me, this is important. But relatively speaking, if everything is "important", everything will have equal status, and in that case, how can anything be more important than others in the end?
So should I just buck up? A little bit? A bit more? Should I just ignore everything and not give a shit? I know, maybe if I really really try I can squeeze something out, that will save my life in FSV in the end? It's understandable and perfectly reasonable that I should be one of the worst in class in terms of grades. But sometimes it's nice for a change if I could step up a little. Maybe show the world and myself that, hey, I can be more than just what you already can see of me.
That day I told Clarice that the most important thing in my life is peace and love. Without peace, things cannot be resolved properly, life cannot move on smoothly, happiness will be much harder to achieve. Without love, people can break down, get hurt (severely), feel destructive, and all sorts of unpleasant things can happen.
Let others know a little more about yourself, repost this with your name followed by "ology".

Anywho. I'm pretty much hyped about all the new hacks I just installed for TS2. Stuff that makes the game more challenging, such as actually having to pay §2 for each copy of the SimCity Times, making that A grade harder than ever for Sim kids and teenagers to achieve, adding an extra §100 for every bill they pay, longer seasons, no §20,000 handouts for every Sim that moves out of his/her main family etc. . My game is very screwed, if you will. : D
Now's the bittersweet moment : ( I'm uprooting my old Sims from Springfield, and I will plonk them in the new neighbourhood once it's ready. The bit I hate most is that I have to transport the pets separately : ( which means the poor darlings will have to re-establish relationships with their owners all over again! T__T
But what's worth celebrating is that I'm very very very stoked about the new neighbourhood, complete with its subneighbourhoods! For now I won't be playing much of the Zimmermans, the Ottomases, the Axelrods, the Lees and the Byrons, but rather I will concentrate on city planning, building University towns, Shopping Districts, Downtowns and etc., starting with Flabliki's new and improved Pleasantville, a serious makeover/improvement from the default Pleasantview that was shipped with the game. Which is pretty shit.
Well since I feel like it and it's my freakin' blog, I shall once again tell the story of my Sims.
1) The Zimmermans
The oldest damn clan I've ever played. I created them in the middle of last year and started with only one pathetic guy called Denzel (or was his name Isaiah? Can't remember LOL) and §20,000 (which is the default starting fund for every new, freshly-created family. Which isn't a lot if you look at the standards of living in TS2.). I managed to keep on living their lives, expanding the family and so on until I'm at the 4th generation with only one living heir, Mitchell Zimmerman. He is married to Sharla Ottomas (from a Maxis-created family that shipped in with Seasons EP. I will never name any family "Ottomas" and any girl "Sharla". Seriously!) and lives in the clan's property with two dogs and a cat.
2) The Axelrods
First cousins of Mitchell. Complicated family history; I shall start with Mitchell's aunt, Becky.
Becky married a widower, Jimmy Axelrod, who then had a daughter Jaden. Becky and Jimmy later had a son named Marc, and sometime in Marc's childhood and Jaden's teenhood, Jimmy died in a "pool ladder accident" (a Simmer term for deliberate killing of a Sim by drowning him in a ladderless pool!).
Becky never really remarried but had an affair with Irfan Wilson, an affluent businessman with prime exotic genes and tons of Simoleons. An illegitimate daughter, Dani, was born as a result of the fling.
It was completely unexpected, but Irfan got serious with another rich, affluent lady named Yvette... something I can't remember. Taylor I think. He left Becky and married Yvette, leaving Jaden, Marc and Dani in her care while having another daughter, Amy, with his new wife. Becky soon died of "drug overdose" (in reality, I killed her the same way I did her husband Jimmy, but who cares? Just pretend it's a drug overdose.).
While Jaden was more pragmatic and took her now-orphaned younger half-siblings under her wing, Marc, in his teens by then, couldn't accept the death of his mother, blaming it all on Irfan and Yvette. To this day he remains an enemy of the Wilsons.
While Marc and Dani are single, Jaden is now in a romantic relationship with Brandy Ecstasy, and is the boss of Die Cast Guitar Dealers. They are the first homosexual couple I have ever played, and to be honest there is no difference at all, except they can't have babies on their own.
4. The Wilsons
The second richest damn assholes in town (the first being the Zimmermans), the villains, the homewreckers, whatever you call 'em. Irfan is already long dead (I didn't kill him, he died of old age), that old man, but his wife, Yvette, is still alive (and youthful!) because she takes The Elixir of Life on a regular basis. For those who want realism, just take it that Yvette takes botox jabs and liposuction on a regular basis. Her daughter Amy is not at all proud of her parents' ways, and her greatest wish is a reconciliation with the Axelrods.
5. The Byrons
The Byrons are a newer family I had intended to play in the now-defunct Weinigville. They are currently in their second generation, consisting of Jake, his wife Cecilia and children Natalie and Kirby. They are related to the Lees - Jake's sister is Deena Lee.
6. The Lees
I didn't choose the surname; she just fell in love with an NPC called Quentin Lee and hence took his surname. Anyway there isn't much to say except Quentin's wife, Deena, is Jake Byron's older sister. They have a teenaged daughter, Christel, and twin boys Cordell and Cody.
7. The Ottomases
The clan I dislike the most so far largely because they are the creation of EAxis. And you know, despite being the so called creators of this prodigious game, EAxis is really retarded when it comes to creating Sims and giving names. The whole family is fugly and they have the dumbest-sounding family name ever. Ottomas. Sounds like a hybrid between a massage chair and an escaped terrorist. Anyway the reason why I introduced them in the game anyway was 1) I was bored, 2) I wanted to introduce some shit genetics for my Sims, because so far all my own Sims are too beautiful and perfect, 3) I'd like a considerable pool of Sims for me to massacre any time I wish. The Ottomases are father Peter (WTH), mother Samantha, sons David, Tommy, twins Georgie and Stevie (sorry, ran out of names, I gave the twins their names since they were born in-game) and daughter Sharla, who is now married to Mitchell Zimmerman. Oldest son David has had a previous relationship with Audrey Bingham but they separated some time ago. Third son Tommy is currently engaged to Sydney Garrett, a random NPC the resident Matchmaker introduced.
Please. I just feel like wearing a skirt today. : P Heh. Sometimes doing something different once in a while is kinda fun.
But that doesn't mean I'd be wearing skirts more often or I'm going to buy more skirts. No. But once in a damn long while, yes.
Besides I know I'm picky about the sort of skirts I wear so. Why bother? : D
Sorry la. Really not in the mood to blog in English la.
Sian man. Whole week kana sai like that. Damn jia lat siah.
Maybe 'cause of some womanly problems. PMS. Which human being doesn't have PMS. Even men have PMS.
And this week's PMS is damn rough sial. Damn hiong. Hiong until can die man.
Whole day don't feel like doing anything. Whole day think of sleeping and dying.
Whole day just want to yell at people, kick their crotches and tell them to fuck off man.
Seriously. Damn sian. Go everywhere with a lan jiao bin. See everything also buay song.
Just now. Look at my own room. Want to get fire and burn down my room man. So much junk. Enough junk to make Mt. Everest feel small.
Wa lan eh. Assigments coming in like siao. I like busy. But not busy until want to kee siao and kill people what! Really leh. I feel like killing people and strangling them man. And then also got people that make me feel very bad and want to speak up for them. Then also got people that I feel I have let them down. But majority of the people better be careful. Don't one day so suay kena caught by me and my parang. I will slash you and stab you man.
Aiyah sorry lah. Just want to KPKB a bit la can anot?
