LIKE MY PHOTOS?

(OK i didn't take this one but the thong was my idea)





haha, everything looks so good on an SLR. Why can't I have one?!! All these photos were taken by yours truly except the sand one at school camp. You like? Maybe one day I can save up and buy an SLR. This is the curse of the consumer whore. Just last week Joyce bought me a Crumpler bag. Pretty schweet but ultimately is it really necessary?
I will get a job next year and maybe then i can afford some really good stuff.

Leaving in 3 days to London :)

Before I Die.

From "BEFORE I DIE I WANT TO..." by Nicole Kenney and Ks Rives

Stumbled across this amazing experimental portfolio today during Viscom class and it got me thinking, before I die what would I want to do and what would I want most to be remembered as. I mean at my funeral I don't want no "he was an all-round nice guy" because we all know that half the time it's not true. I rather have something deeper, more meaningful and something that draws emotion.

Before I die I'd like to honestly say I've amounted to something, that I've contributed to the world in one way, form or shape. How many of us are actually capable or have sufficient motivation to do so? I don't know but it's the kind of people who do who leave a mark on history.

What would you do? IN terms of experiencing something I'd like to:

- go skydiving

- walk with tigers

- sit on a beach in the South Pacific

- and go to Broadway.

meh thats my list

on a side note can't wait to go to HK. Michelle and I are going to the meow cafe, a cafe where cats are allowed to roam free :) Here's their website: http://www.ahmeow.com/mainpage.html

apparently there's also a dog cafe but cant find it online

Wall-e and Rob Guest and the Wicked Witch of the East sheet music

Shucks, who knew that a robot movie would be so good. But after Ben told me I told myself "Tim, you just have GOT to see this for yourself". So i called up Phil: "Hey, you wanna see wall-e?" and he was like "Ur... how about Eagle eye?". No way was I going to see eagle eye so I replied, "Charles said eagle eye was bad :)" (me lying). And he agreed. So we watched Wall-e which is the cutest most touching movie I have seen this year. I have only seen two really outstanding movies this year and that is Be Kind, Rewind and Wall-e.

Wall-e follows the story of a robot named WALL-E who is designed to clean up a polluted Earth. He eventually falls in love with another robot named EVE, and follows her into outer space on an adventure.


Love it, just love it! I was so touched in some scenes and it's amazing how there can be so little dialogue yet the robots can express themselves in such a heart wrenching manner, I nearly cried as well. Just to assure you how good it was, everyone who walked out of that cinema was grinning from ear-to-ear, I kid you not.







It was on the news all yesterday. Rob Guest, the legendary Phantom of Australasia dies from sudden stroke. And to think I watched him just over a month ago in Wicked as he played The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This certain story really hit me because I had actually watched him before, his performance: very professional. And then I found out yesterday he was only 58, a bit older than my own dad and he has kids same age as Joyce and I as she pointed out, 19 & 17. It touched me.


It really won't be the same if Rodney Dobson is taking over the role because Dobson's usually the goat who gets tortured by the wizard in the first place and it can't be Berazin either because he's archnemesis with him and they appear in the same scene anyway and who's gonna play Elphaba's father then and will one of the dance captains take over permanent role of Doctor Dillamond and... well it's all speculation so far, nothing's sound.




Finally, today I was looking for the sheet music to "Wicked Witch of the East", my favourite song from Wicked. I was searching up and down, hi and lo, e-mailing random people, posting whole new threads on music forums till i looked in my own sheet music folder and found I had already downloaded it 2 months ago. Gay.
Thought I'd share it as it is a rare working copy, it even has Stephen Schwartz's own handwritten notes and script changes, quite amazing actually, but the lyrics have surprisingly been unchanged. The other day I downloaded "Take It Like A Man" from Legally Blonde and it was a working copy as well (where do people steal these top-secret documents from?). The part that Emmett sings has been completely ommitted!


So, without further ado, download here if you're interested (it's pdf) >> [download]

ティムの一言：日本にいた時、バスであった大切なメッセージ

i hate lamb

Yeah! Have any of you watched the ad for this on tv? I laughed. It looked stupid yet strangely fascinating as I recognised the girl as Penny McNamee who played Nessarose in Wicked, the night I went to watch it. But then her name came up on the credits as Rosemary Spriggs! Did she have a twin who was married? That's what I thought. I wasabout to head out to the cinemas to watch this movie til I looked it up today and found out it's not a REAL BLOODY MOVIE! what is this!? "Lamb: A Fragrance for Women" and now "From the creators of Lamb Actually: Falling in Lamb"
"Starring Clive Ovens and Rosemary Spriggs", bloody hell.

Anthem for victims

Not one day goes by,
That I don't think about you.

You're unforgettable
Yet relinquished. So

Callously tossed,
Face buried deep in the mud,
Face blatantly ignored,
Candle snuffed.

Do you know the nights that pass
Endlessly endless
Endlessly alone,
Forever cold?

Then time stopped.
The world stood still,
The world wept,
As darkness fell.

Blown like an autumn leaf,
Swishing and swaying,
Swishing the invisible
Clinging on for dear life.

then snapped-

Drifted,

Drifted,
Down,
Down.

Left to be trampled

Like a wounded soldier,

Watch his eyes
Insignificance clouded.

Do you think you could hide it
No way to run from it
Every time you were stolen
Every time I remembered,
Was like a fatal blow.

the truth shall set you free.

What happened yesterday? I was thinking of going to the Fungus "Crazy Sex Rally". I was also invited to watch a few mates practice their break-dancing (I'm not into that stuff though I reckon if you can do it you're hardcore.) And I didn't really feel like going to any of these. I was still contemplating this when i signed onto msn and Josh popped up. "Wanna come to my church for trivia night?" Perfect! I felt like trivia... and meeting new people.



Let's start off by explaining: why I didn't want to go to Fungus. First of all, I was deterred by the name "Crazy Sex Rally". That's a disgusting and horribly suggestive name to be using when naming an event that is supposed to glorify and honour God. The design for the cards was equally as offensive as it was made to look like the entrance sign outside a stripclub. Glamorous and dazzling when in truth, there is nothing glamorous and dazzling about pre-marital sex. OK, so that's not the real reason.



I didn't go to break-dancing because I thought I could make it after trivia-night but I ended up feeling too tired. Yeah but trivia night was fun. Met new people. I felt like in this small Chinese community church, my connections were spreading like the branches of a tree.



On Friday night we watched this awesome video sermon by Louie Giglio from Chris Tomlin's "How Great Is Our God" tour. It was about science in short, but this science was fascinating. It was emotional as well and apparently a few people cried. Hehe, another video. It's part one of the sermon. Look the rest up on www.Godtube.com.
