Was in the middle of a quest in GW just now....a freaking long wan somemore, the first in Cantha.....half way through and what the fuck happens?? The comp restarts itself on me.........I'm like....wait...I just got my ass owned in GW.....my health and mana level's are down by 58% but enough of my team is stil alive to keep on fighting the good fight and some dude who doesn't know his freaking comp number and decides to pull a fast one on the cyber caf decides to random my comp number?!!!!
Last time I play GW in a caf.......takes too much energy to calm the fuck down.

The Ties That Bind
Life, to me at least, is all about relationships. It's about the people you meet and people you keep company with. People come and go....the real friends, the trues ones, will always come back. Will always be there. For those of you who know who you are, I thank you for being there and giving me a chance to redeem myself. And for those of you who don't. I thank you too for giving me another chance.
I just got back from a little drinking sesh for Helena's birthday. I haven't really been the best of friends to her for a bit. But I hope to change all that. Same goes for my lil' Nicky. I love you like a brotherlah bro......no matter how much you annoy me, you still got a place in herelah babe. Just gimme some time yo! Haha...
But yea. Realtionships, with my friends, my other half, my family, the people around me, are important to me. Life, is the relationships you have with the world around you and the people in it.

New Years Resolution
Right...so New Years Resolutions.......only 25 days late...it's alright..it's still the first month...
I don't actually believe in making resolutions......but I have no idea what else to call them.....
Basically here's a list of things, I'd like to....achieve? aim for? include? in my life in the year and years to come....
1. Photograph more
I'm going to be one of those people who bring cameras every where they go. I feel that my life needs to be documented more......I mean, you're only young and this good looking once....sometimes...... ; ]
2. Write more
Both here on the blog and in real life.....actually getting around to finishing everything I start. Perhaps even dabble in a bit of editorial work. Coz really...even if I can't write a good article...I really think I can vet work really well.
3. Do more
Just get off my ass and do more things. I want to act? Go out on a limb and go for castings and auditions. I wanna dabble in retail? Go out and just do it. Wanna make a movie? Just get the people together and Nike! Coz there's no use just sitting there and waiting for stuff to happen. Make things happen. God helps those who help themselves, and I'm gonna help myself to a whole load of life.
So yea......that's basically it....I might just come back during the course of the week and add more stuff.....but that is basically it......resolutions. My To-Do list of this year...and perhaps even the rest of my life.
Step 1: Always carry a camera and buy that 2nd hand SLR.
Step 2: Dedicate time everyday to writing.
Step 3: Just get out of the house and be more involved in the world.....have you registered to vote?
ps: one of the reasons I'm so inspired is coz Alfred just got a copy of this month's Klue and guess who's got a 5 page spread? Heck if she can do it......so can I!
pps: note to self.....stop reading ppl's blog archives.......it can be hazardous to health...but really I don't know which is more painful.....said person having a Cartier Trinity Ring......or said person calling rose(red) gold, brass.........*knife thru the heart, knife thru the heart*
(she has the one...wihtout the diamonds...the classic.....I want........)

Readings and New Works
Just came back from the reading of Instant Cafe's reading of Hero. It was a......enlightening experience. I've never really been for readings....mainly coz it usually clashes with my schedule for some odd reason so it was nice to finally make it to one. The script itself was quite strong. Tho a bit draggy in parts.....whether because of the actor or the script itself, I don't know. I thought, the mother character lacked a personal journey or character development, and certain elements that were brought up never truly explored. But this is still a work in progress so there's still room for improvement.
Also happening this weekend, was News for You, brought all the way down from Penang.......I have to say I was rather dubious about this show....so opted to join my friends for a mad cap trip up to Genting instead of watching it. I think perhaps my decision the right one....especially when Farah was critical about it. Not to say anything about Squinty but if she's complaining...then well.......yea. I'd probably have killed myself....... And the premise....was supposedly a good one too. I mean Alfred was interested......and I would be too I suppose if I weren't put off by the poster..and the group calling themselves The Ministry of Truth........really?????!!!!!
What is it with young'uns and their delusions of grandeur? Noobs always seem to have this wide eyed invincibility thing going on. I know what this fancy theatre term or this grand concept mean let's make this play or talk about this theme or do this style........it's like this nothing can touch me I know it all and best attitude.....I'll be the first to admit, when I first started out. I shared these...."delusions"...okay thoughts myself........pretentious enough to believe that just because I know what it is I can do it.......but there's always a difference.....between doing it...and doing it well....this pretentiousness can be.....annoying...
Take JH for example....the only reason I didn't go for the audition was because the audition notice was pretentious enough to go, we only want serious actors because of the material involved......REALLY????? I haven't seen it yet...but well......I haven't exactly heard incredibly wonderful things about it.......except for the cinematography which I hear is close to stunning....definite eye candy........but support Malaysian we must! Especially noteworthy ones. I hear that the director at least, has taken a step into the right direction. If all else can match up to his cinematic sight, then perhaps a prolific filmmaker he shall make. We'll just have to wait, and see.
Aside from all this....earlier this month, the 7th to be exact, KLPac had it's newest monthly offering, The Platform. An avenue for theatre noobs to take their stab at theatrical writing and acting. Write your own 15 minute short play, stage it at The Platform and stand a chance to participate in a grand old theatrical experiment next year! The aim is to unearth new talent. A wonderful and commendable venture. Zedeck 'Tembak'ed it.....to not so rave comments....But I have to say...I agree with him at some points. I had people coming up to me saying the piece on domestic abuse was so good and so brave. But like Z I could see it a mile coming and had wished she'd tackled the issue in some other way without resorting to the usual histrionics. The second piece goes without saying..... The third piece tho, is exactly what I mean by noob theatrical bravado. That, let's try being surrealist, coz it seems cool. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, heavens no. I think all of us who've done theatre for so long have been there before. Some of us have moved on to being cynics who've given into commercialism, some gallantly still try with marginal success, while others just don't know when to quit. I, am a partial cynic. I look at them and wish I were back where they are. Wide eyed and naive.
Sometimes tho, sometimes, on a big bright clear blue sky-ed day I am.

Johanna
I feel you,
Johanna.
I feel you.
I was half-convinced I'd waken.
Satisfied enough to dream you,
happily I was mistaken,
Johanna.
I'll steal you,
Johanna,
I'll steal you.
Do they think that walls can hide you?
Even now I'm at your window...
I am in the dark beside you,
buried sweetly in your yellow hair!
I feel you,
Johanna!
And one day,
I'll steal you!
'Til I'm with you then,
I'm with you there...
sweetly buried in your yellow hair!
Johanna.
I feel you.
I was half-convinced I'd waken.

Retrospect 2007
Another year has come to a close.....despite my previous post...or is it in spite? Things have changed in my life.
2007 was a year of change.
In 2007...
I became an adult. I finished college and started 'working'. I registered to vote. I started caring about what our country is coming to and participated in the efforts to try and change it. I became more involved in my industry. I took responsibility. I grew up. I made friends and lost some. I took leaps of faith. I experienced new things. I hurt others. I hurt myself. I let go.
