New weathering technique. Yay.

Seriously, how this guy got hired by UCC is beyond me. =/

What’s this suspicious box doing by the side-walk?

Snake? Snake?!? SNAKKEEE!?!??!?!

Snake hiding at the Ville.

Decided to paint one of my older ones from before with some left-over paint. Ran out of red and white halfway through so most of it is unpainted (the grey). Repainted it from the original grey you see in the arms and legs to the normal gundam colours. Might finish it up some other time. Or not.

Quick build. No paint, just clear flat coat to make it less plastic-ey. Force Impulse Gundam 1/100 MG.

In an attempt to revive this dying blog, Hilary has decided to write another guest blog. Yay. I was told to add something to make it less boring, but I have nothing to say and exams are near. Anyways here it is:

So yes, I get to do another guest blog.

Thanks Jessica. Tony

I’m trying to be nice to her, so I’m not going to do any insults. Yay =]

So I thought a long time about what to write about. Because my last guest blog was pretty much just assembling a bunch of things other people wrote with random interjections from me and that is cool but not as cool as it could be. And after all that thinking, I still don’t know what to write about.

I feel so sick. Starbucks Gingersnap latte is nice if you get a tall but do not get a grande or a venti, it’s just too much and makes you want to throw up.

Ahaha Starbucks story. I head down to Patrick’s one day, but I’m like half an hour early for my appointment, so I go to “LIVE HOURS” [as opposed to kill hours] at Starbucks. I ask for DEEPBREATH a tall shaken green tea lemonade, no ice. The guy behind the counter looks at me and then grabs a venti cup. So for those who do not know their Starbucks sizes, venti is the largest size, the cup is like a foot long >__< tall is the smallest [ironic, I know, it's American overconsumption] and it’s about half the size of a venti. So yeah and then the cashier charges me for a tall but the barista is like “oh yeah this cup is pretty tall WINK WINK” and then proceeds to fill it with my green tea lemonade. OMG IT WAS HUGE and I honestly took half an hour to drink it, so mission accomplished, I got to Patrick’s on time.

That was a random story, so I might as well finish my stories about going to Patrick’s because it was super interesting. I’m walking down Queen to Patrick’s and there’s a guy. On a big intersection. PEEING. Like right in front of everyone on the intersection. ACTUALLY. And all the pedestrians are like walking in a circle trying to avoid the wet patch. And while he’s doing so, a random girl is standing there yelling at him, saying he’s disgusting and blah, they were outside an art building so I’m guessing they’re both starving street artists. The guy was laughing and insulting her back. While peeing. Good. Multitasking skills. WOW.

As well, on the way to Patrick’s, after I passed peeing guy, I was stalked by like an old fifty year old woman who told me she liked my scarf and then followed me for three blocks. IT WAS SO SCARY I thought I was going to get mugged by an old ratty woman =(

So yeah I would tell the rest of my Patrick stories but I don’t want to.

I hope you enjoyed that rather random storytime session about me and my hair guy. Uh, yeah thanks Tony for dealing with my random guest blogs.

Peace.

Follow-up geography field study trip to the beaches today. Wasted so much time camwhoring like Japanese tourists. Kind-of. Check em out on FB xD. The water was suprisingly clean looking. Now I just gotta hope I don’t get some sort of cancer from touching it D:

Anyways, here’s a nice canto song by 張敬軒 (Hins Cheung), 櫻花樹下 (Under the Sakura Tree):

Today I was looking up 稻香 lyrics and I discovered that not only did Jay compose an awesome melody, but he also penned lyrics that were quite meaningful. It’s a song about cherishing what we have in life and finding happiness in the simple pleasures of life. Anyways, check it out:

曲：周杰倫
Music: Jay Chou
詞：周杰倫
Lyrics: Jay Chou
Translated by *meow – jay-chou.net

對這個世界如果你有太多的抱怨
dui zhe ge shi jie ru guo ni you tai duo de bao yuan
If you have too many grievances towards this world,

跌倒了就不敢繼續往前走
die dao le jiu bu gan ji xu wang qian zou
Having fallen, you lose the courage to go on

為什麼人要這麼的脆弱 墮落
wei shen me ren yao zhe me de cui ruo duo luo
Why do people want to be so weak and fallen?

請你打開電視看看
qing ni da kai dian shi kan kan
Please turn on the television now and see for yourself

多少人為生命在努力勇敢的走下去
duo shao ren wei sheng ming zai nu li yong gan de zou xia qu
So many people bravely fighting for their lives

我們是不是該知足
wo men shi bu shi gai zhi zu
Shouldn’t we be content,

珍惜一切　就算沒有擁有
zhen xi yi qie jiu suan mei you yong you
Cherish all we have, even if we don’t possess them

＊還記得你說家是唯一的城堡
hai ji de ni shuo jia shi wei yi de cheng bao
I still remember you said home is your only castle

隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑
sui zhe dao xiang he liu ji xu ben pao
Following the paddy fragrance, the flowing stream, I continued running

微微笑　小時候的夢我知道
wei wei xiao xiao shi hou de meng wo zhi dao
Smile, I know the childhood dreams

不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑
bu yao ku rang ying huo chong dai zhe ni tao pao
Don’t cry, let the fireflies take you away, escaping

鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠
xiang jian de ge yao yong yuan de yi kao
You will always find serenity in folk songs

回家吧　回到最初的美好＊
hui jia ba hui dao zui chu de mei hao
Go home, return to the sweet past

不要這麼容易就想放棄　就像我說的
bu yao zhe me rong yi jiu xiang fang qi jiu xiang wo shuo de
Don’t give up so easily, just like what I said,

追不到的夢想　換個夢不就得了
zhui bu dao de meng xiang huan ge meng bu jiu de liao
If the dream can’t be reached, then just follow another dream

為自己的人生鮮艷上色
wei zi ji de ren sheng xian yan shang se
Add bright colours to your own life

先把愛塗上喜歡的顏色
xian ba ai tu shang xi huan de yan se
Paint LOVE in your favourite colour

笑一個吧　功成名就不是目的
xiao yi ge ba gong cheng ming jiu bu shi mu di
Smile, fame and success isn’t the aim

讓自己快樂快樂這才叫做意義
rang zi ji kuai le kuai le zhe cai jiao zuo yi yi
Be happy. That is the whole meaning

@ 童年的紙飛機　現在終於飛回我手裡
tong niang de zhi fei ji xian zai zhong yu fei hui wo shou li
(Just like how) I finally found my lost childhood innocence

＃所謂的那快樂　赤腳在田裡追蜻蜓追到累了
suo wei de na kuai le chi jiao zai tian li zhui qing ting zhui dao lei le
What is happiness? It’s chasing dragonflies in the fields barefooted till we’re exhausted

偷摘水果被蜜蜂給叮到怕了　誰在偷笑呢
tou zhai shui guo bei mi feng gei ding dao pa le shui zai tou xiao ne
Tried to steal fruits but suffered so much beestungs until i am scared. Who’s snickering (at me)?

我靠著稻草人吹著風唱著歌睡著了
wo kao zhe dao cao ren chui zhe feng chang zhe ge shui zhao le
Leaning against the scarecrow, enjoying the wind, singing songs till I fall asleep

哦　哦　午後吉他在蟲鳴中更清脆
o o wu hou ji ta zai chong ming zhong geng qing cui
Oh~ Oh~ In the afternoon, the guitar chords sound more crisp amidst the cries of the insects

哦　哦　陽光灑在路上就不怕心碎
o o yang guang sa zai lu shang jiu bu pa xin sui
Oh~ Oh~ The sunlight shines on the road so there’s no need to fear a heartbreak

珍惜一切　就算沒有擁有＃
zhen xi yi qie jiu suan mei you yong you
Cherish everything, even if we don’t possess them

Repeat ＊＊＃＊

I’m liking this song more and more, haha.

Speaking of Jay Chou’s lyrics, I hear this kind of stuff a lot: “Why’s he rapping about listening to your mother?” and “He’s such a wannabe rapper.” etc etc. So what? He can talk about whatever he wants, its his style and his music. Besides, what’s more meaningful: rapping about respecting your mother and cherishing what you have, or rapping about banging some whore in a dark alley and then proceeding to smoke crack while gunning down some rival gang?
