Right-o.

I’m having trouble starting this post. Somehow it felt that the course of this exam took away whatever little writing prowess that I own, and spread it around a Pacman maze waiting for me to avoid ghosts and try to gobble it up (pardon the odd analogy, but of everything going around my head now, it felt closest to that).

I don’t think I can call it writer’s block. Felt more like wading through scrambled eggs looking for egg shells than trying to climb an impenetrable wall, if it makes sense to you.

Well then, now to the usual update of events;

The exams are over, and while I’m nor particularly free or feeling as light as cotton candy puffs (final year project, beckoning, beckoning), still meant that between the guilt and work I have more time to game. And I have Assassin’s Creed, Devil May Cry 4, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and a second Kingdom Hearts 2 play-through to keep me occupied, not accounting possible new games.

It’s probably high time I start reading the bunch of novels I got during the Book Fair thing; I’ve only finished four, and perhaps I should hold buying The Graveyard Book (Gaiman) until I finish Galilee (Barker).

Speaking of books, my Kinokuniya RM10 coupon only have 10 days left of validity. I’m thinking of getting Elizabeth Bear, just for the heck of it, or perhaps Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Any suggestions? (Airman by Eoin Colfer also looks mighty tempting, if not the for crazy 50 bucks price tag).

(A Tom Holt might be nice, for a change.)

(And lets not forget the great Terry Pratchett).

(Gah damn so many damn choices).

Yeah, well, it’s the start of sem break.

The first thing I got around to do was to convince my dad I didn’t need a vacation and it wouldn’t help to bring me down to Laos for a 5 day trip; on the contrary, it’s best that he leaves me alone so that I can camp in my room gaming and writing and movie watching until I go blind. It’ll also be nice if I get to go out once in a while, for a movie or for lunch with the gang.

I’m well aware that this sem break wouldn’t rightly be a break; there’s the FYP to worry about, and because I’m starting to drive down to uni now I think I should try freelancing, wherever I can find them.

(And I’m rightly the type that wouldn’t want to be introduced in by a friend, because I believe that if I get accepted or hired or whatever you call it, it should be based on the quality of my work, of which they should judge and decide).

(That’s probably my ego speaking. Gee, he’s been dormant for quite some time.)

What’s left now is the initiative to start, and knowing me, the initiative is probably as faulty and useless as a 1940 ‘Thunder-luck’ truck left to rust in a field.

And maybe I should start picking up basketball or badminton again; it felt like it was a century ago since I played something.

Ah, part of the bunch of things I looked up to distract myself while cramming for the exams;



CalArts looks like a really nice institution...



(Just to see how many people get amused by it. Oh, do check it out on Newgrounds, for better quality).

And lastly



Because it looks like a Gorillaz MTV.
