Crawling Up The Walls, Like A Cat In Heat
And I fell, and I fell
All the way to the bottom
Of the well, of the well
Like those soft little secrets
That you tell, that you tell
To yourself, when you think
No one's listening to, well
Wishing Well - The Airborne Toxic Event

One week till lift-off, and I've got to say Malaysia has been very fun. I've gone out more times than I can count, I've met up with loads of great people, attended awesome events and enjoyed myself very much.
The other day someone told me, very seriously, (like "I'll beat the shit out of you if you don't pay attention, so pay attention. Or I'll beat the shit out of you. Cos if you don't pay attention, then I'll beat the shit out of you. Don't make me beat the shit out of you. You don't want me to beat the shit out of you" seriously), that some people were worried about me, because I used to be pretty sharp and on the ball, in their terms, and now I'm less than that. I'm not my usual sarcastic-nasty-sharp-bitchy-witty-quick-to-retort self now, and I know they're right.
I blame it on the lack of mental challenges I've been facing. Yeah, I still read, I still try to practice my English, and whatnot lah! But it's not enough, I guess. The times when I felt like, my mind was actually working was when I had to photograph a few events, where I had to be on my toes. Aside from that, I find my mind rotting. Ack! I can't even come up with quick retorts when challenged, oh my god. I resort to lame and witless jokes nowdays, which is a bitch, because I know I'm better than that.
Even uni challenges aren't the same, being less challenging, or a different kind of challenging, compared to what work had in store for me. Could be the course, could be me, could be my approach to things in uni, but I find it not as mentally challenging as I'd imagine, or would prefer. They do little to nothing to hone my wit.
Blue is a nice colour, but green is better. Grass is green, nuff said.

Here Comes A Drum Beat, I'm Moving My Feet
They take a piece of me
Enjoy the scenery
Counting back from ten
But I will never fall asleep

Got this in the mail today. I'm now a member of Canon Malaysia's CPS. Not that big a deal as it's not as hard to join as compared to other countries, but yay. Hahaha. Ada la dapat a little bit of discount (20% actually, which is not too bad) for repairs and stuff, so that's a real bonus.
Oh! Another pair of shoes! Wheeeee! Finally, a black pair. Hahaha. Now I can complete the rempit look which I know kinz would love. Ada high-cut shoes (though I think blazers are mid, not high), skinny jeans, and xs tees.
And one of my cats (Patrick) had to go for some minor surgery to remove some crystals or something in his bladder/kidney (one of those la, not sure which). Kesian gila weh! He's so groggy and like, high right now. Hahahaha. And he's under house arrest for 4 days.
So now he has something like a catheter (which is roughly the diameter of a vitagen straw) stuck up his pee pee. Ack!

Cahaya Terang Menembusi, Bagai Sebuah kisah Misteri
Siang malam termimpi mimpi
Pagi petang tercari cari
Tiap saat ternanti nanti
Kau masih tiada disisi

Yes, I went for 8TV's Shout! Awards. It was a pretty good event, felt big, and some very good performances. There were a few fuck-ups here and there, specially with the mikes, and the biggest fuckhead in the world Sean Kingston, ntah mana la ko nak jalan sampai blakang pentas.
He can't even sing properly, damn the fool. But oh well, he got the crowd going, so hey ho, I guess he's good for something. Like making mayonnaise, as I quote A Girl Named Lisa:
So overall I enjoyed the show, I found the artiste performances pretty good, the sound system rocked, and the people nice to look at. I just wish I was more involved in it.

"then sean kingston came on, practically sweating mayonnaise as he bobbed around, mouthing a few words here and there."
Hahaha! Memang pun.So overall I enjoyed the show, I found the artiste performances pretty good, the sound system rocked, and the people nice to look at. I just wish I was more involved in it.

It's the Good Times That We Shared, and the Bad Times That We'll Have

I attended Nike's Lunar Glide media run thing last Thursday, and it was pretty interesting. It was a media event, so there were people from all sorts of.. erm.. media. It drizzled a little, during the briefing, and as they were preparing to run, but most, if not all, of them were quite pumped to run, so what little rain there was didn't matter.
I didn't run though, I was there to take pictures. And what little rain there was, didn't matter, though I did ask Kinz for his consent to using his camera in the drizzle. Mana la tau, kan? Hahahah.
Picturesss
(not sure up to what extent I can release the photos, so I'm just putting the ones I think are safe, and that I like, up) :
Aside from that, nothing new has happened. I still sleep late, I still go out at night, I still think I'm gaining unnecessary weight, and I tend to waste time thinking about inane things. However, I did find out that I'm quite the sadist, and I can be a brutally mean fella if I so wanted to. Interesting things to know, though I think I've known them for quite some time.
So yeah, Eman's bad traits would be mean, callous, sarcastic, cold, amongst loads of many other things.
Whoop!

Wear Your Real Eyes, No You Don't Realise
Forever is a long long time
When you've lost your way
Trying to follow your ideal
Oh sorry but your so called life
It is such a waste

Ack, my 70-200 has finally succumbed to the abuse I put it through. It's my workhorse for outdoor shoots, and I'm going to have to send it in for repairs. Damnation, hopefully it won't take so long and impair my work.
See those smears for the out-of-focus areas? Well damn. It's like there's a circle of focus, and whatever that is outside that circle is smeared towards the circle, instead of being nicely blurred. Gah! And of all times to discover this, I found out during a pretty damn important shoot. Thank god Kinz was there to backup.
So yeah, hopefully it won't take more than a week to repair this.
Edit: Estimated time of repair for my lens = minimum 5 working days. FML
Edit 2: Really FML, my lens repair cost is RM948

I think July is going to be a blast. Busy as I can get with work, I still managed to get in some time with some friends, though admittedly not everyone. So far in July I've managed to help somewhat save a clothing disaster, play futsal, meet someone whom I haven't seen a long time, watch a live band perform, get lost in Ampang, take tonnes of photographs, stay out very late, sleep very late, wake up very late, have Japanese dinner, bitch about people, and generally living my life.
My body in general has been protesting my activities as of late, since I don't seem to get enough rest, and I somewhat strain myself too much. My shoulders and wrists bear the brunt of my work, and they can be a bitch when they start to ache.
Sakit.. =(
I've got more thing to do in the upcoming weeks, so I'll be a busy bee, but I think I can manage to throw in some fun here or there.
And oh! H1N1 @ Urbanscapes, well, I didn't get sick or whatnot, so I didn't go check. Yeah. Whatever. Hahahaha
