忍，忍，忍。

忍一时风平浪静，退一步海阔天空。

I need to make this my motto for anger management. Sometimes it is of no use going head-on against someone in a heated argument. Things don't get better, only worse. I've realized that if I treat it with a calm manner, lots of smiles and maybe a joke, things work out! Seriously, it's not as simple as it sounds. In such times when many people's egotism always get ahead of themselves, it's really easy to offend others and vice versa.

A little interesting episode here. When I was staying in Telok Kurau last few years, my temper was at its worst. I'm freaked out at how I behave sometimes. I dare say it's mostly because that area is filled with negative energy. The residents there were all so sulky and highly strung (I mean the permanent ones. The renters are definitely friendly and cheerful, but they never stay for long). Even my family members became all sulky and bad tempered. I'm so glad that I'm out of that horrible place, and where I stay now is a good place. People say 'hi's and 'goodnight's. There isn't any of the 'I, Me & Myself' business over here. Everyone is happy, so am I.

p.s. One of the renters who left shortly after my family moved in said that the people living there are devils. I totally agree. 

Ahh the potency of durians. My box of butter cookies tasted like durians after being neighbours with a sealed up box of durians for two nights. In fact, everything else in the fridge smell of durians now.

Update on the progress of my dead macbook pro. Apple is a sucker for money!! Gosh, they really do rip people off. The service center quoted me a whopping $980 for replacement of logic board. On top of that there's a $120+7% GST consultation charge.

I then went Sim Lim Square to try my luck, and a repair shop quoted me $160 for repair of small parts of the logic board, no extra charges whatsoever. See the difference!!!

I should be getting it back in a couple of days. Oh I can't wait to get it back! I feel so helpless without it...there's a dozen loads of things I need to check but all the links are in the mac. I can't use photoshop, which equates to another dozen of tasks I cannot complete. Thank goodness my data is not affected!

Why are you doing this to me!!!!!

My macbook died on me. Suddenly. No symptoms or signs to warn me beforehand. It's only 3 years old! Hope it's not a big problem and that it can come back to life at the repair centre. I'm really worried about the hard disk. It really sucks to lose all that data. Oh gosh, my head aches just thinking about that.

A bouquet of peonies

My pot of flowers for Mother's Day became a bouquet of peonies instead.

Wanted to make leaves but couldn't find my extra fine wire.

When you need something, you can never find it. 

And when you don't, it just pops up. How irritating.

The more I look at it the more dissatisfied I am with it.

Oh well, I guess no artist will be 100% satisfied with his own work.

100 Frames

100 Frames : The A-Z of London

A really interesting project of what can be done in 100 frames, which is a mere 4 seconds.

My brain just got fried by Mawaru Penguindrum.

Meatballs at Ikea Tampines no longer taste as good as they used to.

Sad. =(
