It's not my fault for liking short hair when it really makes me look thinner more attractive healthier.
Before.
After.
I spent the whole day cam-whoring to realize than it is darn difficult. Bah-humbug.
Read the title and feast on the pictures.
Sorry for the harsh backlighting and poor composition. I was definitely in the wrong seat. All pictures can be accessed in their full versions.

Verdict: 4 stars out of 5, I wouldn't call it the best, but it is definitely more than just safe.
You Are the Castle |
 You are a bit of a homebody and even somewhat of a loner. You function best when you're all by yourself. Other people see you as mysterious and even a little scary. They don't understand how deep and complicated you are. You have many layers to your personality, and there is always a surprise waiting around the corner with you. You aren't as scary as you seem, but you are intense. You require people to confront things about themselves that they rather not know. |
Dr. Anasu: How many of you have friends which are racially homogenous?
Me: Hey! That's not fair! It's not like we would come to University on the very first day and point and scream, "Hey! I want that Indian over there!"
Talk about entertainment.
Uncle Sam = Connector
Me = Maven

Yea, it is draining my life.
However, it produced a 12.07 minutes documentary of personal orgasmic bliss.
Can't wait to see others, and will load links to the YouTube version of it. Till then.
I have never spent so much emotion in writing an article as I had today.
At the same time, I secretly shot people without shooting them. Being diplomatic is not all that easy.
Hoping for a new fresh start.
3. Slipping
This happens when you wipe the floor so clean that you slip over the polished surfaces like tofu over a frozen lake. And you happen to land on your knees with a resounding thud. Not all that assuring I tell you.
2. Grit
This happens to be too big to be dust, too small to be debris, and too sticky to be vacuum-able, forcing you to wash the cloth clean again each time you cover about half a meter square.
1. Hair
Long, short, thin, thick: it doesn't matter. They stick so stubbornly to the floor and not your cloth, and by the time you pick up about 2 or 3, the cloth will start rejecting additional hairs and flattening the rest against the floor. Nightmare. No wonder so many horror movies are focused on hair...
P.S.: Too lazy to edit the font from this post onwards. Barely noticeable, but you'll understand.
Taking a break from my Tribute runs.
I cannot believe it: I gained ~10 kg in ~3 years! And I actually feel think know that I am more physically active now compared to then. I strongly believe that all that gain isn't muscle.
So this is what I did:
Can you see your house in there?
It was supposed to be a random direction run without a fixed path (I've done this before, twice reported in my old blog, but this is the longest). I tried to pass as many friends' houses on the way though. I pancit-ed about a million times in the process, and about halfway I was somewhat delirious. But I'm proud of myself.
Anyone care to join?
EDIT: Oh, and when I got back, HUC called me and said I have a cheque waiting for me next month. Birthday presents are really on the dot.
It is really hard to find photos in my archive suitable for drawing. So, here is the lucky one:
You look very innocent in this picture.
Again, I was using single pen technique and attempting to add more texture to the hair. This only took me over an hour despite wanting to be a little more intricate:
Uni Pin Fine Line 0.1. I think Wen's tribute is more Cina then you.
Send me your high resolution photos!
I was planning to use a frontal shot of a male because I was tired of shading and adding texture to so much hair:
When are you gonna update your blog?
Your hair took me more than half an hour to do and another half to DRY. I should be charged per hour:
Only used Pilot G1-Grip 0.5, so it looks a little rougher than the previous two.
There. You get to look like a Cina-man.
I was so tempted to do another one, so here is lucky number 2:
Woot.
A different approach from the previous; it turned out like this:
Pilot G-Tec-C4 for skin, Uni Pin Fine Line 0.1 for hair and Pilot G1-Grip 0.5 for clothing.
Finished this at 1.45 am. Wow. And I must say: WHY DO ALL OF YOU HAVE SO MUCH HAIR!!!
This is my first part in the series of tribute to friends. Click the pictures to view the larger versions in my Photobucket gallery.
This person wanted photos from me since forever, so here you go:
Wah, so yeng.
In addition, to pay you back for all the waiting, you get a bonus:
Thanks to my Uni Pin Fine Line 0.1, Pilot G1-Grip 0.5 and Pilot G-Tec-C4. 1.5 hours of sheer creative bloom.
I feel proud of myself.
I did your homework for you: his name is Adrian Nathan Aakre. I agreee with Ping that he brings the Pedo out in you. You know who you are.
To those who are music illiterate, you have about 1 hour left to celebrate Vivaldi's 332nd birthday, in Malaysia that is.
I don't care what you say, I'm proud of it.
Read the title.
1. Beauty is Overrated
Everyone is beautiful these days. Seriously. With the advent of plastic surgery, laser treatments and other dermological and fitness regimes, anyone can get closer to what I would call "niche-selected-crass-commercialized-beauty", a type of beauty set by fashion and style critics. Even without dough, people can resort to traditional methods which are sometimes far superior than their modern counterparts. Culture seems to become assimilated with commercial beauty, with parents become more concerned with their child's physical growth and maintenance. People expect Korea to be one of the nations with the most plastic surgery operations by Switzerland beat them easily - Swiss (214.621 people for every 100,000) vs Koreans (19.654 people for every 100, 000). The truth is this, there are just too many beautiful people on this planet (guys included) to the extent that beauty almost represents normality.
Beauty = Survival of the Fittest/Sexual Selection
became
Beauty = Normal
In fact, because beauty is now a normality, the new beautiful should be
Beauty = Uniqueness
Within the past 10 years, many advocates have been pushing hard to promote inner beauty and subjectivity, the most popular being Campaign For Real Beauty. In reality, they actually help create an environment where individuals with unique features stand out even more than they already are. Similarly, the new ugly has now transformed to averageness. People with the most average facial features are scientifically the most easily forgotten. It's even better to be ugly now than average looking, because even though people might not like you for your looks, you will be memorable to some extent as long as you are not TOO ugly (based on "niche-selected-crass-commercialized-beauty" or "evolved-subjective-individualism". Unfortunately, the old beauty is still an important variable to determine success of copulating and having a baby, not to mention the ability for the children to grow up without being teased about having an ugly mother.
The next time you look in the mirror and you do not like certain features on yourself, pat yourself on the back, for you have passed the uniqueness test!
OMG, I think I just contradicted myself.
2. Ideal Governments
If you haven't read schmae's blog yet, I highly recommend the post on E.P.I.C. UNITY. I really applaud their effort for making changes on the microsystems level, but they really need almost the entire nation to be in it to change the whole government arena.
I just hate how democracy is misused. To be fair, no countries practice democracy, but most utilize subforms of it such as parliamentary democracy, constitutionary democracy and so on. The truth is:
Just because people elect their leaders, it doesn't mean they have 100% faith in everything the leaders do. It just means that they were preferable to the opposition.
Preferable? With just that factor, leaders of yesterday, today and tomorrow are led by the illusion of supremacy. I'm not saying that our leaders should be perfect, I'm just saying that democracy can't work this way, ideally. In fact, voting for one leader out of many isn't solving the problem; it will just naturally cause segregation in the nation.
Nations won't change in a day, or probably not even in the next 50 years. However, we should start being aware of the issues surrounding our nation and be a person who votes for principles and ideas and actual work, not just for individuals and parties.
BAHUMBUG.
