:: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 ::
I'm confused. I just took this test that joc recommended. And this is the result. Well, what do you know? I was right. As you may or may not know, depending on how long you've known me and how often you've visited my site, I HATE chain-mail because most of them are hoaxes. Guess what I got in my mail box today?:: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 :: I have lost my jacket, and to put it rather inadequately, am distraught. Those of you who have seen my lovely black jacket and know of my fixation with and pride of it will know what a great loss this is to me. It seems appropriate for me to say now "I shall never be happy again," but, so it were, I've learnt material possessions a man does not make, nor should one be so overly obsessed by the same article, and I know by making this rant, I AM obsessing, but I can't help it. I'm upset. Still, if you're reading this now, you'll know what to get me for my next birthday. That's right, another black jacket I can lovingly tote around like my security blanket. It'll never be the same. I bet you didn't know that jacket was my security blanket. I put it on whenever I'm feeling insecure, or well, for more practical purposes like cold. There's this whole persona that goes with the jacket. I mean, I'd be running around, jacket flapping, heedless of everyone else with that crazy I couldn't give a damn attitude. That jacket makes me feel big and strong. Weird, I know, to be empowered by a piece of clothing. Sigh. That's it for sentimentality. :: nimezs @ 12:56 pm [+] :: ... :: Monday, September 15, 2003 :: Okayz... To recap... On friday, I went to watch Absolutely Serious perform at the Third Place. I walked in, and this other band was playing. I would've walked out if not for the fact these nice men came and gave me a seat. I felt obliged to stay after that, plus, hey, maybe the band I actually came to see would come on after that. Quite hilarious really. The band before was really good, yes, as some people can't stop stressing to me, to which I reply, I didn't come to see them! I was sitting pretty quite close to Lyndon's sister, whom I didn't recognize because I thought it was some woman at first. Yes. Some woman. She's that mature looking. Anyway... After about 1 and a half hours of that, Absolutely Serious finally came on. Hurrah. I had fun, amazingly, and I liked their lyrics. Most of them. I've a short memory, so don't ask me what they played. I was surprised by how much of a heckler I was in small groups. There was a rather funny exchange between Lyndon's Kenric (this saves me the trouble of having to explain their relationship. It's not what you think. Really. Okay, maybe I'm making you think strange things, but that's just you and your strange mind.) ANYWAY... I knew he was Kenric because he was standing next to Lyndon, and Lyndon was standing next to me and he turned to me and told me "Kenric said NUS cancelled their one week break..." so I KNEW the guy was Kenric. To cut long story short... I was standing in a corner smsing my friend, (and I'm paraphasing here because I can't remember the exact words) "Oh, she's standing over there in the corner. What? You mean she's Simin? Your neighbour? Really? Oh." Then he comes over and tells me he didn't recognize me before. I said "That's okay, I didn't recognize you either." Haha. It's the hair. We've both grown it longer. Saturday: I played Chrono Trigger for the whole day. The end. Sunday: Hmm. Went for cell. Had lunch at Sunshine Plaza (good wanton mee. Really good wanton mee). After that I went to Joel's house because we were both bored and had nothing to do till 6. And as he put it, "There's marginally more stuff to do at my house than at Orchard Road." And so I found out. Hahaha. Then we went out, okay, I went out with the girls, (Lisa, Mel, Lishan) to celebrate Lisa's birthday. We went to Wheelock place to have sushi. Then we shopped around, and I really, really wish we had some photo taking phone thingy, because you have no idea how fun it is for you to browse at shops you can't afford to shop at. Gorgeous trenchcoats and stuff at Zara. I want photos of me in a trenchcoat! That's that then. Except that we have a new strip out on Azmi's page. Please do check it out. And I mean do. :: nimezs @ 12:50 am [+] :: ... :: Thursday, September 11, 2003 :: I just did a search for blogspot and NUS and 5040 entries came up. Most of which, I suppose are owned by NUS students, half of which contain rants about school. Now you'll hear mine. It starts... I just had dinner. Really. Because of AGM at school. I'm not too sure why I remained through the whole bloody thing, (or at least within the proximity of the meeting) or even why I continued playing bridge with people who probably won't remember/ don't know who I am. And that's it. I'm going to do my tutorial now. I may be close to break down this weekend! Wheee~! "Ohhhh! I can't take it... You're too smart for me! Kim is planning a surprise party for you after school, he's gonna bring all the kids because he loves you... that boy loves you so much!!......... I'm baking the cake." - My favourite cartoon character ever! :: nimezs @ 11:23 pm [+] :: ... :: Monday, September 08, 2003 :: I spent my weekend playing Chrono Trigger, and liking it. Hrm. Okay, just so my ordering system won't be screwed up AGAIN, this is me, posting at 2.49 AM on Tuesday, but slotted into the Monday post. Few stuffs to say. First, I shouldn't be up so late, yes, I know so shut up and let me continue already!, but I am, so deal with it. Secondly, as you'll notice the site has been slightly changed, which may or may not explain why I'm up so late. I've added some links, one containing my information in case people wander on here without knowing who I am, and will probably add more in the future, but I'd like to draw your attention to the "Pick up lines" link? It's quite funny actually. Seriously. E.g: (Walk over to her)"Ok, you can stand next to me, as long as you don't talk about it." That's just one line from one of the categories. If you ever decide to submit any, let me know? Cheers and good night. :: nimezs @ 10:39 pm [+] :: ... My next strip is up. I won't say it's better than before because I did 4 strips at one go about one or two(?) weeks ago, so the style is still the same. It'll only change after the 4th strip. More shadows and shading and stuff. If the expressions look a bit familiar, blame my easily being influenced by the styles of other cartoonists. Yes, blame me. Also, I know the characters start looking slightly different from strip to strip, but... uhm. I'm trying to get into my groove here. Me begs forgiveness humbly from readers.:: Saturday, September 06, 2003 :: You guys only comment when I put a picture up don't you? I feel unloved. -stomps off- :: nimezs @ 12:57 am [+] :: ... :: Friday, September 05, 2003 :: I said Real life was too cool didn't I? IT IS SO! Butter dipped butter!! Only one year and 391 strips to read! :: nimezs @ 1:19 am [+] :: ... Today's story is about how I was rendering characters in win paint again, but unfortunately saved my work in progress as a JPG which makes changing the colour scheme tres hard. So. Now... We have a red head instead. Because I was playing around with the hair colour. Sigh.:: Thursday, September 04, 2003 :: Real Life is too cool. :: nimezs @ 1:06 am [+] :: ... :: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 :: Google has acquired Blogger, I heard. I guess that's why you'll find my blog at the top the Google search list if you type Carpe Veritas, carpeveritas or Confessions of a Teenage Rambler. As a side note, Lyndon, your page turns up a few entries down too. It's pretty neat, in a way, I guess. Which brings me to the topic I was going to bring up. That about my web page and how my friend discovered it because she typed in her name in Google.com Pretty amazing, huh? (Her name's Sianying, BTW). Then *I* tried it too, and look what turned up... yet another webpage from one of my ex-classmates. I think random searches on Google.com are going to be a major fun time thing for me. Just so, I'm going to put this list of nicknames here. For fun. #medicine CityAngel euphrosyn H2SO4-afk hogwartz SLR AMG Santino blaaez And of course, the dear blogphiles, joc and Sardaukar. I wonder how long it'll take for those names to turn up. :: nimezs @ 11:09 pm [+] :: ... Okay, I'm doing this as a favour to Joe and his silly little nonsense schemes because you gotta love that boy for the... er... well... you just gotta. And so he won't look as silly. Hmm. Okay, sorry to harp about the note I received AGAIN, but I finally went to visit the diary she's holding on FOD, and it looks like she's been sending notes to random FODs. All in all a rather interesting read, especially the notes on it. I've never learnt so much about the views of others on religion before.:: Monday, September 01, 2003 :: Okay. I've thought about it, and maybe whoever it is sent me that note has a point. The method is dubious, but the point is there. I get it. On a lighter note, I played badminton today with Yosh, her cousin Jac (Which I'm assuming is short for Jacqueline?) and Azmi. My right arm hurts, my lower torso hurts and I'm tired, but unfortunately due to the nap I had just now, not sleepy. It's been only 3 weeks of school... and the monotony is already getting to me. Not to mention the dull excitement/worry about the next assignment etc. If this is what it's going to be like every sem, I don't know if I can take it when the work load gets heavier. And lastly, THIS. Oh, yeah. :: nimezs @ 11:04 pm [+] :: ... Visited FOD. Am shocked that there seem to be quite a few pregnant teenagers using FOD. Well, not at the fact that they're using FOD, but more of the fact there are so many of them. I could visit blog at random and two or three of them are pregnant teenagers. I've nothing against them, but I just feel so... weird about it? I feel strange that I'm 20 this year, and that nobody I know is pregnant (thank goodness), and that it seems to be rather too common for comfort elsewhere... Why? How? So young! I don't know if I'm sorry or shocked, or whether it's right for me to be either in the first place. Hey hey! Here's the comic up, finally!
