Do you control your own strings or is Someone pulling for you?

Blind

It's a treacherous road we are walking on, and we are all oh so blind...

Maybe all we wanted is what's in front but we just don't see till it's too late? Oh yes... I'm sure we all had that experience

Dancer in the Dark

Go watch dancer in the dark.

Directed by Lars Von Trier, done in Dogme 95 style and acted by Bjork.

Bloody marvellous, and very tragic.

It's a semi musical, and the songs in the movie, so creative, so filled with emotions, raw and untainted, unlike those plastic commercial hits you hear nowadays ( think of maroon5, or some cheesy chinese female/male singer who can't pen nor compose. Oh yeah, and they can't sing either.)

It's a show that's a bit of a character study. The extend that people will go to hoard what they hold dear.

It's a story about love, sacrifice, in the cruelest sense.

Well i shall not divulge too much, you have to see it for yourself

Young Frankenstein the movie

Watched Young Frankenstein.. it's an old movie that's like a tribute and a parody to the frankenstein classic. The story goes like this;

The grandson of the late Baron Von Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein an accomplished neurosurgeon, went back to the castle in Transylvannia to do something( forgot what he was going to do), leaving his primp playing-hard-to-get fiancee( she won't let Frankenstein kiss her cos it'll smear her lipstick) behind.

Along the way to the castle at the misty looking train station, he was recieved by Igor( pronounced eye-gor in the movie) with a brit accent and a beautiful blond lab assistant( She looked like Dharma in the Dharma & Greg sitcom) with a fake german accent. Despit Frederick's incessant dismissals of his grandfather's work on creating life from dead tissue earlier in the movie, he ended up re-animating a corpse anyway. The 'creature' also happened to be 7 feet tall with heavy ridges on the forehead and squarish looking skull. Just like the creature in the old Frankenstein movie...Coincidence? hmm.

Anyway, the 'creature' he created turned out to be a little on the slow side and was actually just a frightened child who was misunderstood as a dangerous monster blah blah.... To display his genius work to the world, Frederick teamed up with the creature to perform a little tap dancing act to the background of swing jazz music to the crowd of scientists and intellects. Hmm. Halfway through the act, one of the spotlights on the stage burst into flames and the 'creature' went predictable berserk( he hates fires). He went ahead and scared away the audience, only to be apphrehended by the police. While in jail, the 'creature' knocked a policeman who was taunting him cold and broke out of jail. He went back to the castle to kidnap Frederick's fiancee( Oh yeah, Fred's fiancee came over to the castle to see how he was doing, and meanwhile, Frederick was screwing the lab assistant behind her back.. heheheh). He brought Frederick's fiancee to some eerie place and showed her what a monster Frederick never was... and she loved it.. all seven times of it...

So the worried Fred tried to lure the 'creature' back with violin music(the creature loves violin music), fearing for his fiancee's safety, genuinely ignorant to the fact that the ' creature' and his fiancee were having the time of their lives. With the 'creature' strapped tightly back in the castle, Frederick Frankenstein did another experiment to rectify the monster's lack of intelligence( the monster could only moan and groan) so that he would act more intelligently and not be maligned as a menace. Halfway through the procedure, the townfolks chose that opportune moment to charge into the castle with blazing torches and pitchforks... typical... Naturally, the experiment was slightly botched and Frederick was slightly unconcious for a while. Meanwhile, the 'creature' woke up from the procedure, apparantly changed and spoke articulately to the villagers, reassuring them that he was just another harmless fellow. The villagers, satisfied that the 'creature' was not danger to them, shook hands with him and left. wtf..

Fast forward to an undisclosed time in the future. Frederick was married with the lab assistant and Frederick's fiancee married the 'creature'. The 'creature' is lying on the bed reading newspapers, wearing half moon glasses and looking really bored of his talktative horny wife( no longer playing-hard-to-get). And the next scene, Frederick was lying in bed with the lab assistant, and she wondered if there were any side effects from the botched procedure that her hubby suffered... and he proceeded to show her what a monster he was.... hahahahaha

This is supposed to be one of those great classics... I don't get it.. hmm. The show is funny in a corny way, with some slapstick humour and poking fun of the characters in the old frankenstein movie... but a great classic, nope...

I rather watch seven samurai again, now.. that's a great classic

Slightly hectic

Bit of a busy week I'm gong through, rushing trivial projects and working here and there, losing precious sleep in the process. And between those times I have to fit in lunch, dinner, cleaning myself, entertainment and such.. wow.. I'm even busier than during my exam period...

It's a good start to the holidays isn't it? At least I'm not slacking around at home... often. OK time to catch a bit of sleep, go to work, and try to find out more about the feasibility of a working holiday in America. I'm going to leave you with this absolutely stunning painting of a maiden in summer time by Kyena. Auf wiedersehen.

Serenity of an angel

my angel ==> *cough* slut *cough*
Angel I found on the net, don't know the artist...


I found this picture on the net while trying look for a model to base my drawings of an angel on.... Well you guys may not notice, but the serenity on her face is so beautiful, the little smile that reminds your of a doting mother, looking passively, giving a quiet protection to the sleeping child who felt the warmth and safety in her embrace. So many emotions, so many feelings just on the face of the angel. It is the serenity I couldn't draw. My angels look like sluts with wings in comparism..... must have been all that porn.....

You need to have peace in your heart to draw peace, and love in you to draw love. It's the same as poetry, pain in you will reflect anger, hurt, in your poems and love in you will bring out the best romantic verse you could ever conjure. Psychologically speaking, it's a bit of the fruedian thing, where your creative work reflects your subconsious. I must be missing something, something that drinks can not give and eyes can not find. I've been a Christian for more than half a year, not counting the backsliding time, and yet, there's still something that eluded me. Maybe it's things I could not give up or surrender, or could it be I've not given enough?

It's a point to ponder for myself, I shall relieve you of your misery of reading this verbal diarrhea. Good night.

Mimicking the characteristics of a rock. a.k.a , stoning

Bored. Need more drinks, there's no inspiration a-flowing into me brain. Only when your conscious is clouded can u see clearly

And the lady slept

With my sleeping patterns messed up, ( I sleep in the day) I found myself with plenty of free time in the night as there's nothing else to do...

Hence, I found more time to indulge myself in my little hobby, drawing....

This picture I did is from my imagination, with the intended theme of something dreamy, somehow it turned out to look a bit like an erotic art, but screw it, I still found the essense of dream in it. Is she having a good dream or nightmare, or is she the dream itself, or she's real and all the dream sequence is an attempt to conceal her vulnerability, I can't tell.

Last picture of the day, I'm tired

Well, ever since I've discovered this revolutionary technology known as scanning, I've been saving a few of my drawings onto the computer. This last picture I'm sending up happens to be my favourite drawing of all. There's no technical breakthrough or any of that sort, but I just find it very grand looking.

Massive amount of postings
