ARRGH

The new blog’s giving me shit. Typing and pressing “enter” screws up the paragraph. I’ll try again tomorrow. NEW BLOG DELAYED- sorry.

^Animation! Something i should try.

Havent been doin much lately. I just feel… unmotivated. Updating blog included.

I been researching into local paintball organisations, since its one thing i really want to try. However, Singapore’s opportunities seem quite limited. Chest protection’s compulsory, for one thing.

My interest has shifted to airsoft- same principal, but using guns that fire plastic pellets. Airsoft weapons are basically quieter imitations of real weapons. Non-lethal, of course. Goggles are a must, and the pellets hit hard enough to raise welts and occasionally draw blood. Looks like fun.

Only problem is that Singapore is… well… pbtthpphhth. The biggest airsoft company is supposed to be based in Scotland, i think.

I wanted to post more stuff but i forgot exactly what.

Really quick post

 

Probably the last update for a while, and kinda rushed since im packing for the weekend dive trip.

Dad ran over my foot today…! Getting off the car to work, I guess I stepped off in the wrong place or something- not really Dad’s fault. He drove off and caught my ankle/heel on the edge of the tire. Thank God for sturdy shoes and jeans. Still, my reaction was a huge:

“FUUUUUUUUUC-”

I think I yelled loud enough to turn a few heads, and Dad stopped the car. Anyway, bit of a sprain and a few grazes, but nothing too serious.

I was heading off toward the escalator, and some old guy started blabbering at me in chinese. I think it was me, because it was something about standing in the wrong place from what i could make out. But then again, he had a lazy eye, came across as belligerent and more than a little around the bend, so I just walked off. Hobbled off.

Going diving with Dad in Batam! Also, got myself my own scuba goggles. No, I mean mask. Scuba MASK. Yeah. 

Okay, looks a bit odd like this, but i think its wayy better than the masks that Fisherman Dive provides. Those work well, i guess, but sometimes feels like strapping a brick to your face. At least this one’s more ergonomic. 

I may move over to a new blog soon- or check out twitter. Dunno how it works, but

An update, long overdue

So, my blog’s been all left in the dark for a while now, but HAY U GUYS ITS AN UPDATE. So…

Been drawing a fair bit, but Im going to upload a whole lot now, having gotten myself a new scanner! Which actually is a ~4 year old piece of junk that i only noticed when Dad said he was going to throw it away. Still works quite well.

^Same picture as the one below, but with some editing to bring out the shadows.

Hmm. Every single picture had someone holding a gun. Maybe i should try something different.

I changed the blog sidebar a bit. WHEE! Spinny thing!

New dog, Niko, still goes berserk when he sees strangers, but otherwise is settling in well enough.

Still trying to paper-train him.

New Job(s)!

Day 3 at work now. I took up the morning shift, so I work from 9 to 1. 4 hours- a desk job, pretty good pay… couldnt really ask for more. Photoshop work for four hours does get a little dry, but it sure is worth it.

Went to LAN yesterday, and played Hard Rain.

First it was like this…

Then, with the addition of sv_cheats 1,

…it was like this.

Item spam crashed a few pc’s that day.

Anyway, I found a new game being released march this year; All Points Bulletin. First impressions are of a GTA style MMO, and it looks great. According to the press, skill plays more of a role here, rather than having to spend time leveling up and shit. It also gives an awesome level of character customisation, something that i really like in a game. I find it really fun to have a choice between a generic criminal, or trying to build a virtual avatar of yourself in a game. (something i tried in Saints Row 2, and failed at)

Okay, enough text… video time!

Definitely going to buy it.

Faction-wise, you get to choose between criminal or law enforcement. I’m still not decided on which one to join.

Random

Gmod- tie a bunch of balloons on a cart, then jump in. Then use a shotgun to pick them off one by one for a gentle descent.

Actually, I fell out midway. Pffft.

Holidays are almost over. Anyone for LAN?

Left 4 Dead 2 apparently has riot shields. Hunh. Probably some sort of server modification, because i only ever saw it once.

Cruise stuff!

Me, Dad and my Sis.

Awesome view.

Since its very windy above deck, I got to use my hoodie alot.

I also pushed back the sleeves frequently, since it was quite cold below deck and I took to wearing it during almost all of my waking hours.

The cruise was a pretty good opportunity for getting a lot of scenic pictures. At one point (last picture), there was a single break in an otherwise cloudy sky, and the sun was pouring through that gap, illuminating a patch of ocean. I snapped a picture, and also took a video of it. (since the uppermost deck was, for some reason, deserted, i could record myself talking about the video without being too self-conscious.)

Cant really think of anything to say here.
