whoa. holy crap.
i am now awake.
like, 4 hours after my intended wake-up time.
even thought the clock in my bedroom
was malfunctionin when i saw, 12am!??!

missed dinner.
WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY WAKE ME UP?!?!
just ate microwaved cintan mee,
and i still prefer my kak's cooking.

why am i bloggin twice today? :P
coz i was talkin to mimmles,

(no, she's not a pet, she's my sister :P
she's 10 this year.
i call her that coz she calls me kwiwa-wiwa in return.
sth liz has already caught on to.
she calls me kwi [spelled kwee, on LIZ's insistence] instead of krys nowadays.)

and i heard some pretty priceless stuff durin my din :)
stuff that i think ought to be recorded down somewhere hehe.
if i don't record them now...
her childhood days will be lost and
she'll nvr remember whut a funny cutsie sohai she can be *grinz*

1st she told me bout the ring
my kak found in a pot in our garden.
she thought it was real silver and
carried it around in her army colored bag all day hehe.
in case somebody saw how precious it was and stole it.
looks like gollum isn't such an original after all *grin*
esp since mi is nearly as skinny as him,
albeit not as hunchbacked.
tho mum thinks she will be 1 day if she goes on slouchin.

then she told me bout her imaginary friends,
sth i have nvr been particularly aware of.
i do notice her talking to herself sometimes,
but most of the time,
i dismiss it as her own childish way of relievin boredom.
and since it's gone on for so long now,
i scarcely find it extraordinary anymore.
apparently, she has two imaginary friends.
one is ivy, which is also the name of her blue rabbit soft toy,
and the other has some fancy name which i forget.
it's sth like natalia, i remember.

when asked how do they look like,
mi sed that they sorta look like her,
only she nvr really thinks of them that way anyway.
she only thinks of their personality and whut they do.
natalia (i think) is mostly quiet,
but pretty mischievious.
she likes making paper aeroplanes and
making them fly all over the place.
ivy is the one mi talks to the most,
tho i forget why.
i was still pretty bleary and disorientated
after my unintended 4hr-blackout.

hearin mi reminded me of a book i read recently, regina's song.
it was about a pair of identical twins who were totally inseperable,
even when it came to boys.
they, like most other identical twins, had their own language
which nobody could understand.
cryptalalia i think, is the scientific term.
only regina and renata nvr grew out of it
like most twins usually do,
they spoke it all the way till gradschool.

after a school beach party thing 1 night,
the twins were found the next morning near the town zoo.
one raped and murdered,
the other kneeling by her side, muttering in twinspeak to herself.
she was in the nuthouse for a long time.
and even when she came out,
she still kept relapsing into twinspeak every now and then.
her shrink was of the opinion that she could actually still see her twin.
and spoke to her regularly.

it was one damned freaky book,
and it gives me the willies to think of them right now.
thank God eunice isn't like them.

today we had a welcoming party
for all of CF's new members :)
we played charades (courtesy of liz and yan yee)
and sang songs in english and malay and chinese.
SO many ppl turned up that
there was barely any space left to BREATHE.
which i guess is a good sign
coz nobody fainted from the stuffiness anyway :P

worship today was really good,
the songs were all very very nice.
really must get the lyrics.
and the atmosphere was... noisy! :)
noisy in the sense that everybody
was actually joining in and singing along
and clapping to the beat of the songs...
few ppl dared to jump along wif the music,
but trust me,u don't get co-operation like that very easily.
so in my book, today was a real success!
*beams happily*

we didn't get free pizza like liz sed we wud
*glares accusingly at liz*
oh, she's here beside me atm btw :P

eh? her mum just came.
so scratch that last sentence hehe.
she just ran down the stairs and out the doors.

we did get fried mee tho.
and sum yummy cookies.
but bcoz i stayed back wif liz, joshua and tian ping
in the classroom to discuss their upcoming play
*chuckles!*
we didn't get to eat nethin 'cept the cookies.
yan yee actually bought liz, cow and i drinks to make up for that!
can u imagine?? we were all utterly boggled.

after lunch,
cow, liz, josh and i went back up to the classroom
to discuss and practise the script for the assunta rally.
it was... very funny hehe.
whut wif josh's alleged crush on liz *GRIN*
and cow's hair-gel for josh's "attractive" hairdo
and liz's purported rosy-cheeked heeheehee's
and the very dubious looks i kept giving josh's hair..

yeah it was fun :)
to think that the architect from the matrix's
crazy dialogue is gonna follow after our act heh.
i tell u, that guy is Nuts.
sir from cosmotots always sed
to use one word where you can use two,
but the architect obviously thought that
the longer and more confusing and more bombastic
the way he spoke, the more impressive.
it was and is impressive,
but scarcely comprehensible.
he went around in circles and circles
and hardly any of us could deduce crap
from the things he sed.

of course, it cud also be bcoz
of our total mental ineptness :P

all in all, it's been a nice nice day :)
hopefully it'll get even better!
*grinz maniacally at thought of late-night phone-calls*
God Bless Ye, My Wonderfully Tolerant Readers!
do forgive any lethargy
that i might've induced with today's blog!
And Rest Well,
For our 3-Day Weekend is but mere hours away!

tired... so tired...
i've been sittin here in front of the com
for so long now i think my butt's lost it's roundness..
i can't even decide whether that's a good or bad thing bleh.
my eyes... my poor eyes...
they're all worn out... they feel as tho
they're about to fall out of my eye-sockets.
the thought of my bed has nvr been so.. attractive.

visited goodness noes how many drama sites
lookin for suitable scripts for the forensics thing..
liz and i both joined solo and duet acting.
we have to pass up the scripts on fri to william
but as of now there aren't any real scripts to actually pass up..
yet.
got lucky and hit on this great christian site wif links
to all sorts of christian drama scripts :)
got a few pretty good ones in hand now.

a really really BIG thank you to wen long
who has very selflessly helped me print
nearly 20 pages of all those scripts!
*applause applause!* :D
and helping me choose which ones should
we actually use!
*applause applause wolf-whistle!*
and threatened not to help me
when i offered to pay/belanja him in return!
*APPLAUSE APPLAUSE WOLF-WHISTLE SQUEAL!*
another thank you is due to kien seng
who helpfully found a bunch of sites
for me to scan thru when i was on the verge
of collapsing unto my keyboard in dire frustration.
*piak-piak-piak...* hand sakit liao hehe.

hm. won't talk bout yday coz it sucked
and i've already clicked and dragged it
all the way back to last yr's archive of bad memories :)
today... was ok i spose.
nearly went bonkers wif stress at one point
coz it seemed as tho i had SO FREAKIN MANY THINGS TO DO.
physics, bio, addmath, english, chinese, malay, chem...
*Big Grimace*
but now.. at the end of the day
i'm still alive and kicking heh.
albeit my oversized eyeballs and hollowed-headness.

whoa. i forgot to thank the One Person
who helped me prevail throughout today.
*peers at the skies and yells,*
THAAAAANK YOOOUU, GOD! YOU ROCK!

hmm... and another thank you..
to cow, who was there for me to wail at this afternoon :)
thanks for mumbling away
when i needed to hear good cheer heh :P
*mmmmmmmmmmmmmmuakz!*
God Bless Ya!

Saturday, January 24, 2004

yday was the first time i went to timesquare.
not for the first time,
i wished that i had a limitless credcard acc.
i didn't get to check out the entire complex,
but i already wanted to buy up at least 1/2 the place.
the SHOES!! the TOPS!! the FOOD!! the ACCESSORIES!! the TOYS!!
*swoons*

dad was so enthusiastic at the sight of the roller coaster
dat he wanted to buy tickets for everybody
so we could all have a ride on it.
the sight of the headlong plunge
after a sharp downward helix swing
rather put me off tho.
i'm a coward when it comes to crazy rides heh.
the suspense always kills me.

but i don't think my cuzzies looked very eager either hehe.
luckily, there were too many ppl there.
then mum overheard sumbody complainin about
having to wait 2 hrs for 2-3 minutes worth of thrills.
and that put us all off effectively :)

after kyros kebab and laksa shack,
and hanging about listlessly w/o actually
going anywhere nor buying ANYTHING...
we decided to go home :)
i'm hopin i'll get to go again sumday wif liz and co.
we'll get to check out the entire place properly then.
i can hear all the merchandise there singing out to me...
calling for me to purchase them and bring them home...


i played tourist guide after some sleep
and brought my cuzzies to 1utama.
it made me feel pretty good actually,
gettin to direct ppl around and showin them where all the good stuff is.
like i was the ringleader and was in charge.
but i guess i got way over my head heh
coz i got us all lost in KL after we left 1u.

the original plan was to check out the city nightlife in KL,
but sumwhere along the highway,
we got detoured to some residential area
where trees and darkness dominated.
we managed to get out of there,
but we also managed to visit nearly 4 or 5 diff tollbooths,
cruise through God noes how many diff highway lanes,
read at least 20 roadsigns wrongly,
make nearly 10 wrong turns,
and almost ended up in ipoh.

u see, the oldest amongst my cuzzies was the one drivin :P
and he's only... in his mid twenties?
and his dear 15 yr old navigator,
could only direct him so much.
my cuzzies were threatenin to turn me into strips of 'bah kua'
if we were to pass by the same peter pan billboard
for the 6th time *sheepish grin*

we finally found our way home after a couple of hours.
in reply to my dad's question bout wut movie did we watch,
my cuz told him that we watched the last samurai.
'sa dao ma lu lai'

**nope, it's not japanese. it's chinese.**

mm.
just re-read my last post
and i dun like it very much.
CNY isn't that bad really.
s'just that i enjoy my privacy,
and havin ppl take over my room
and makin it smell... unfamiliar
is not a very pleasant prospect in my book.

muar was nice coz there were
so many fireworks goin off in all directions.
my nephew dazhen (who does Not call me aunty) :P
and my sis eunice went crazy over them.
over a hundred bucks worth of fireworks,
and dazhen and eunice's combined vocal talents,
and marcus's sadistic laughter,
and my cuz's horrified shrieks at dazhen
(he was using everybody as live targets for his rocket-firecracker-thing),
contributed to keeping the entire neighbourhood awake
for nearly half the night :P

we went to melaka after that
to visit my grand-uncle.
he and his wife are prolly the only relatives
that i can truly get along with,
coz they speak fluent english.
we talked about whut i wanted to be when i grow up,
about accepting reality and doing stuff we need to do
even tho we dun wanna do it.
it was pretty enlightenin i gez,
due to sum rude awakenings.
i learned sum stuff that i'd have preferred not knowin,
but it was a good visit all the same.

i'm in my parents' bedroom now
to escape from the insanity below.
dad's relatives are nice and they mean well,
but listenin incomprehensibly
to a jumble of dialects from several
different mouths at the same time
is rather bewildering.
esp when they don't really
bother to explain the conversation.

CNY... CNY...
i love thy ang paus and
thy noisy rowdy atmosphere
and the ppl you bring to our house...
but i like not the way
everybody and everything is welcomed
into crowding into one place...
particularly my house :/
bcoz now,
i can't sleep in my own room anymore,
much less my own bed :(
*sniff*

Postscript:
this is a rather morbid soundin blog heh.
do be understanding and forgive me.
my period just ended yday.

Thursday, January 22, 2004

Happy CNY!
just got back from the nutsy
CNY atmosphere of my hometown in muar, johor.
only to return to a house full of
compulsive hakka-speakin gamblers
who hail from the nether regions of distant johor.
i think i prefer fireworks to relatives heh.
on a bigger scale, i mean.
relatives are nice and fun and all...
and i do appreciate the ang-paus...
but i do Not Appreciate
havin my lovely comfy room
turned upside-inside-out
with stuff that reminds me vaguely of mothballs.

Dear Lord, i pray that U grant me
the patience and tolerance which i will need
to get thru this CNY w/o sulking...
Amen.

more after tonight.

Tuesday, January 20, 2004

as of now,
i will nvr attempt to sleep on a full stomach
ever
again
.
bcoz ever since i got up,
i have been burping miserably on and on.
when will this burp-fest end?!?!
urgh..

today we gave cow and suan aik their bibles :P
and i think they like them..
didn't feel as chipper and happy as i thought i wud be,
prolly coz my mind was pretty disorientated all morning.
i woke up wif that vague headachy feelin u get
sometimes after having slept late for the last few days.

after that, my stomach cramps came on
really badly.
*Grimace*
i haf not felt so much excruciatin PAIN
in a freaking looooooooooong time.
i could barely stand up straight at the tapak perhimpunan.
the cruciatus curse can't be much worse.

mm. and i managed to piss somebody off
by unknowingly scribbling in her textbook.
don't think i blame her very much tho heh.
i was feelin particularly vicious at the time bcoz
my tummy was tearing me inside out
so all the scribbles... were not very pleasant :P

15 minutes after i came online,
my dad decided to have one of our "family-bonding" sessions
in front of the telly.
Lillian Too was generously sharing wif us
how to maximise your luck for the upcoming period of 8.
after more than an HOUR of placements and auspiciousments
and northsoutheastwestments and crystal balls
and square number box charts and moving water
and doubles 7s and 8s and blaaaarrrgghhhhh...

i had to go incubate an egg *sulk*
and now here i am.
wif MY TUMMY FULL OF GAS BLAHAARGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

tis been a most vunderfoolly vunderfool day, indeed.

Saturday, January 17, 2004

i am, at the moment, considerably subdued.
just finished cow's book The Word & The Void,
and the ending is... unhappy *sob*
i like happy endings :/
i don't see why the hero had to die in the end.
he was in love, for goodness' sake.
the author should've had more consideration.
killin off the brave, self-sacrificin, noble hero...
after all the hero had strived for in all his books...
the evil meanie.
but i spose that's whut makes a good story,
sth that leaves u feelin strongly bout sth.

just now, as i was sittin on my toilet bowl,
the song Superman started playing vaguely inside my head.
i guess it's sorta like a tribute to John Ross's tragic demise.
suddenly the song Superman was heavy wif meanin.
after much speculation, i have concluded that
superheros do have a seriously tuff job :|
schoolwork (yes, even addmath) wud be ABC soup in comparison.
i noe that if ever i were to be appointed
as the saviour of the world...

... ...
well, let's just say that the world will go to the pits on a much larger scale :)

...and prolly much sooner too.

Friday, January 16, 2004

today was hari gerko
yday, i spent the entire afternoon makin posters for ee wen
wif cow *Grin*
we cut strips of kewl levi adverts out of mags
and pasted them all over the poster paper
it actually turned out pretty good :P
at least, quite alot of ppl think so :)
bits of revealin legs and pretty faces
were scattered all over the paper.
so i guess i would think so too hehe.

we did carollin today
the only song that sounded particularly good
was Joy To The World :P
the rest sucked bcoz we were walkin all over in the dewan
and the noise of the crowds drowned out our voices
it was very disorganised :/
hmm... but apart from that...
today was GOOD *GRINZ*
and it's only going to get Better! *EVEN BIGGER GRINZ!*
won't say why here for now hehehe
feelin unspeakably happy
there's this tingling excited feelin squirmin around in my tummy
i can't wait i can't wait i can't wait!

but you guys will have to :P

Monday, January 12, 2004

HA!

GUESS WHAT?

you can't possibly guess! *GRIN*

no, i'm serious, you can't!

hehe don't bother to try.

you really wanna noe?

ok, i'll tell you.

or should i? mebbe you shud keep guessing.

nah i think i'll tell you.

shall i? it is so funny keepin ppl in suspense.

hmm... keepin myself in suspense however, is not that amusin.

ok, i Shall tell you.

and the answer is........ *drum rolls dramatically on cue*

I FINISHED MY HW!!!

*beams in pride*
i did i did i really did!
are you all proud of me?
you should be!!
i even did my chinese zou ji hehe
if that's no triumph i don't noe WHAT is.
tho i have no idea whut my teacher will have to say about it
wanna noe wut i wrote?


**Reminder: Translated into more suitably fluent english than original language.


Monday, 12/01/04

Today was the first day i finished my hw. My hand is aching very
badly now bcoz i just finished copying this model essay my chinese teacher
wanted us to do. However, i still feel proud bcoz it is a
great achievement.

I was supposed to pass this up today. But bcoz i did not remember
nethin about my chinese hw until my friend reminded me on the bus on the
way to school, i now have to scribble some stuff down so i can pass this up
tomorrow. I wonder whether my teacher will mind.

Form 4 is no different from other years. Only this year's teachers are
not as bad. They are neither too fierce nor too unresponsible. Another thing
would be that there are now two additional subjects and all of them seem
very difficult. I hope very much that i will be able to be a good girl this year
and to be able to pay more attention in class and also learn abit more
chinese.

I have just read my zou ji over again, and i think my chinese sucks very
badly. I will need a chinese tuition teacher this year.


**End of Translation.



you want my honest opinion?
i am actually Quite proud of it hehe.

Sunday, January 11, 2004

here's a Big thank you and a *sheepish* apology to perng
who so claims to have been checking on my blog all week :P
i'm so touched hehe..

so, it's been the first week of skewl.
my comments?
i'd forgotten just how boring classes could be.
if i weren't to have liz and huey bing and joyce,
i don't noe WHUT i would do.
half my time is spent either vaguely listening to the teacher
or struggling not to die of boredom
Thank God For Liz!
whom i can punch or moan at anytime
to somewhat relieve my boredom hehe.

my teachers are alright i guess.
they do their job, give just the right amount of hw,
and can be heard quite clearly.
except mebbe for sally tam (O_o)"
i can nvr bring myself to pay much attention to her...
she needs to get up and walk!
bending over her book on her table
simply does NOT command any attention
the worst thing wud be that nobody dares to talk while she's in class (T_T)"

mm apart from that...
i'm still looking for a few textbooks
SJ, FZ, PM, BM, and KM
oh and i need Eng Lit :P
anybody?!

my fz and eng hw is staring me in the face beside my monitor
i wonder whether they will pique my conscience enuff for me to finish them tonight.

Monday, January 05, 2004

today was the first day of skewl *duh*
but that isn't the good news!!
liz and i are in the same class and sitting right next to each other :>
which is so kewl nyahaha!
teacher sharon was like, "whoa. good luck to your teachers." when she heard hehe
in fact. several other ppl share the sentiment :P
are we that bad?
i was nominated twice today! can u believe that ?
once for PKT and once more for KT
i also had to go through humiliation of sorts by not winning either heh.
but i spose if i were to have won either post...
i'd be sacked quickly enough neway :P
coz that's whut happens each time w/o fail.
tho it would have been kewl to be able to walk around outside class w/o a pass... hmm..

Saturday, January 03, 2004

wheeeeeeeeee!!!! do you SEE THIS? DO YOU DO YOU DO YOU??!?!?!? brad did this for me *GRINZ ALL OVER* he is SOO SMART HE DID THIS IN LIKE, LESS THAN 1/2 HR? *gawkz* how how how? anyway thank you SOOO MUCH brad :) Nyahahahhahahahhaaazz!!!!!!

Friday, January 02, 2004

wow it's been a yr since my last post *grin* can't say much for my hopin to make sth out of this blog. looks like i've got alotta updatin to do, hm? so i think i'll just do a summary of the more interestin events that have taken place since my last post. hopefully, nobody will be drooling in their sleep over their keyboard by the time i'm done *meaningful look*

-xmas-

the 1st most interestin thing after 22 Dec '03 has gotta be xmas :P THE holiday of holidays! the xmas trees, xmas ornaments, the presents, the gift-wrappin, the shoppin, the jolliness of all the xmas songs, the santa claus hats and suits! mm! liz and i went carollin wif our school's christian fellowship before xmas came in the old folks' home. it was..an enlightenin experience. many of the people there were so old they couldn't walk anymore. some of them even had those tubes attached so that their urine wouldn't leak *blink* it was kinda sad. i hope my rents nvr nvr have to end up there ever. and me neither. i'm not sure whether we did make much of a difference for the old folks hehe, but the carols were lovely. now and then i still start humming them. 'tis the season to be jolly' is a definite fave :P

xmas eve was spent in midv among guys bcoz liz and zcui ffk-ed me, and not for the first time either. we watched lotr3 and i watched them play pool afterward. rather glumly too, i might add :P gave cow a couple of guppies which he killed the very next day so now i have to get him another pair. after midv and a marathon of transport problems, we managed to make it into liz's car wif her mum and to her church's xmas celebration. we arrived nearly a couple of hours late hehe. it wasn't fantastic, but bcoz of prayer everythin turned out really great. was in one of my sottier moods and went about being hyper for the rest of the night. even liz's parents noticed. they thought it was coz of cow heh. apparently liz thinks we were bein rather obvious. is that good? *ponders* all i got for xmas was an adorable devil soft toy that says "mmmmMmmuakz! i love you i love you!" when u squeeze its foot and an orange radioactive wallet from liz. it was enuff to make me supremely happy for sum reason :P even my rents were affected by my sotness that night. they were in relatively cheerful moods :)

-pmr results-

xmas day itself wasn't that great so i won't go on about it. we spent half the day at home and the other half in dad's car trying to squeeze thru the biggest carpark in malaysia hehe. pmr results came out soon after xmas day. i got 6, B for sej and C for chinese :P nth i cudnt forsee. except for bm maybe. that was a real fluke. liz and huey bing got 6 too. zcui got 7 and cal 8. there were tears and shrieks and shouts all over in the hall LoLz. handphones were ringing and being whipped out everywhere in front of all the teachers even tho just a couple of hours before the prefects wouldn't let me in bcoz of my nikes *rolls eyes* liz and bing were kinda upset heh. i think i was the only one wif 6 that was more or less happy about it. i didn't feel proud, but certainly not unhappy either. mum was going, "what? C for chinese? are you sure that's not a failing score? and are you sure whether your bm Did get an A?" and dad sed he was very proud and happy. so everythin turned out good :)

went to midv after that to watch peter pan. spent the rest of the day raving about in my head about how extremely cute peter was :P his smile!!! i've nvr met any guy wif a smile as totally adorable as that. not that i can remember anyway. mm that's all i seem to be able to remember about that day hehe.

-lake kenyir, terengganu-

went to terengganu not long after wif aunty shirley and her fam excludin wei zhou and his dad. my dad didn't go either. both mums agreed that vacations w/o dads were easily more enjoyable heh. lake kenyir is beautiful :D the air was damp and cool, and there were trees and plants everywhere. we had to go about in the resort by little buggies coz the lanes were too small for nethin else. we got a chalet next to the lake itself so we got to see all the mist and all the isles up close. i've nvr been anyplace like it and it was lovely. mum bought loads of batik cloth and sotong and keropok back LoLz.

-usherin in the new yr-

a day after we got back, we went back to johor. this time, wif the whole family plus my cuz and her baby son dazhen. we spent new yr's eve on the way there in the car, but it was actually quite nice. mum and dad were cheerful enough coz for once dad wasn't complainin about the staff workin at the office. we reached muar after 12 and slept much later after that. on new yr's day, we travelled further south to johor bahru for my other cousin's wedding. i've nvr known him particularly well except for the fact that he's an artist and that he's got a face you'd want to look at twice even tho he's not very good-looking. he tried to teach me how to draw once, several years ago. tried to introduce sketching to me. i remember being turned off coz he sed i had to learn how to draw toes hehe.

-my cuz-

he's a nice guy, friendly and open, but i guess i always feel abit intimidated and shy bcoz he's that sumbody else in our line of relations who can draw better than me. after his wedding, which was in sum really fancy resort (where the toilets even have HAIR-GEL) we went to visit his new house. the wedding wasn't nethin special, but it was nice to see the happy couple :) he married another artist, only a computer-related one. she wasn't very pretty, but mostly bcoz of the make-up. i think she would have looked much better w/o that much on her face. from wut i heard from my mum, she's a designer. so i spose they're a good match hehe.

their house was really COOL. it wasn't huge or nethin, in fact it was just a simple single story terrace. but the designing was all done by suz chiang, my cuz. there was at least one of his paintings on each wall. all of them interestin and good. random walls and doors would be a different color. the wall outside in his garden was made randomly of bricks, wif purported alignments here and there. sum of them would stick out the opposite direction of the rest of the bricks so that little potted plants could sit snugly on them. others had deep lines carved down their sides, for what reason, no-one could fathom. but it looked good :P sum of his furniture was made by himself! lights and lamps, all were done by him. created with his own hands. all of them unique and intriguing.

my ayi told me that his office was even more interesting. that wherever you walked, wherever you looked, you would see sth that you would nvr have seen before. whether it was in front of you, stuck to the wall, the chair you were sitting on, the cup you were drinking from, the light that was being shone on your head, the things that were on the ceiling, they were all his creations. each of them lovely and unique, none like the other for he nvr created the same thing twice. it was amazing and still is, really, to think that i'm related to sumbody like him. i think i have myself a new role model :) tho how i'm going to end up as cool as he is, i have no idea.

he has an amazing job too. he paints for some hotels in singapore and each picture costs a few hundred. get that? he exhibits his creations in art exhibitions all over msia and gets paid well everytime sumbody buys sth of his. he has an art class too. he teaches little kids 3 or 4 times a week, getting 50 per child. his classroom is reportedly filled with the most wonderfully funny things that'll make ur neck ache from turning and craning around so much to discover sth new. how cool can this guy get? he's got serious talent, a wife who has his best interests at heart, his own self-designed home, a fantastic job he can't be happier wif, and he's a nice guy. did i just mention just how cool i think he is? :P
