Written by my friend Daozhi when he was around 17 years old, re-arranged and recorded around 2 years ago during my NS days. It remained one of my favourite songs till this day.
My Thoughts .Your Hopes
There are times when doing isn't everything
When confusion & doubts start setting in
And in my corner of darkness.
I have asked
What in life is worth living for?
There are times my weathered soul cries
Seeking for the wings to fly,
Up into the clear blue sky
Hoping I can see your light
Like tears falling from my eyes
Sadness shall be driven away
And in your word I shall find
For the peace and joy in due time....
There are times my hopes and dreams just can’t find
A Love that forgives and gives me peace
And in my heart I have prayed to you
I have asked
What is love when my life’s yours?

Old compositions...
Alcohol, you are my best friend
Songs have the magic of encapsulating melancholic and elusive thoughts and feelings into a definite form to be reflected a upon. There are moments in life that trigger certain strong emotions good or bad that we find hard to let go. This song was inspired by my long time secondary school friend jiarong, lyrics taken from thoughts reflected in his blog entry. A simple song that was written to encapsulate his sadness, to be left behind so that he would be a much happier person.
Lyrics:
Night after night
when all is down
and the world is so dark
at this unearthly hour...
noone to call...
noone to talk to
i turn to my best friend...you
not because I love you but becoz you make me
forget who I am
living in this world
only numbness
reminds me of
how lonely we are inside
even for the night
I forget I am in pain
I Just need your warmth inside
To last me through the night

Chopper
In an attempt to update our miserable blog, I have decided to showcase a Work-In-Progress which seriously have no tentative date of completion in sight.
Base loosely on a model kit which I tried to built. I only found some hi-res photos at a very late stage.
Lots of details will probably need to come in during the texturing portion. I hope this model will soon be finish.....
Texturing in progress as of 26th June... slow slow. Unwrapping this model is a bitch, that's all I can say...
More slight updates as of 28th June... Several people complained about the lack of dirt and scratches. I guess these will come in later. Scratches will definitely be in, as for dirt, I don't know how dirty I want it to be...
Anyway, still lots to add, bump maps are still incomplete, specular maps have to be done more accurately...

初恋
The first draft was written on 17 April Tuesday, between 3:15 - 4:55AM. After not being able to fall asleep, i switched on my com and doodled around with Ling Zhi Xuan's version of "Li Ren" playing in the background. Started to recall the conversations on the night when Raymond, Chris and I went for coffee after watching Sunshine at the picture house. So i started to pen down the lyrics with the help of a dictionary and some good song lyrics as reference as i continued to listen to Li Ren and recall what those conversations were about.
初恋
无法挂念的孤单
情舍的心在惆怅
感动和深情的滋味
远在别处人心房
是否爱会象诗一样美
何时才有思念的机会
才能在感动人的心上
找到我影子的纠缠
初恋舍我在路口 孤单等待
你的笑容是否难以忘怀
我的心可否情还存在
初恋以不知去向 遥远未来
何时迎接我的期待
别让我的心苦苦等待
情舍的心在惆怅
感动和深情的滋味
远在别处人心房
是否爱会象诗一样美
何时才有思念的机会
才能在感动人的心上
找到我影子的纠缠
初恋舍我在路口 孤单等待
你的笑容是否难以忘怀
我的心可否情还存在
初恋以不知去向 遥远未来
何时迎接我的期待
别让我的心苦苦等待

New members of the PD Design Studio
Hermit Crabs.
After researching for some time, I finally got the crabs from a pet shop at $10 each. Spent the days that followed worrying whether they will die on me, which prompted endless searches on the internet for the dos and don'ts.
Bought a tank as well, but it turned out to be too small for the 3 of them. I will probably get a bigger tank this weekend, if time permits. Right now, the tank is too damn plain, watch out in this blog for updates as we decorate and upgrade to a bigger tank!!

A Post Dedicated to Our Design Studio By Ken
You know you are in need of some serious help if you repeat the same jokes for more than 3 weeks. You probably belong to the category of "No-Life Sad Twats" if you never seem to get out of the same discussion topics for months. The fact that your company is merely a 5 man operation of "24" American TV series addicts is almost disastrous.
Your lunch topic, "24". Your lame jokes "24". Your creative ideas, "24". Your maximum capability for mathematical plus and subtraction, bloody "24".
You are in deep shit.
PD Design Studio blog has been around for a month. Someone's got to write about "it". About what you asked? Bloody "TWENTY-FOUR" of course. True, May might have spilled out the fact that David Palmer was assasinated before Raymond get to Season 5. Paul might have more spoilers up his sleeves than our client's usual changes of moving the text blurb 5mm to the right. KJ might have mixed up Jack Scoffield with Michael Bauer. Raymond might have already close his brower for fear of spoilers ahead. But someone's gotta do it. And that heavy responsibilty lies on my shoulder.
I am burnt out with the recent dealings with the clients and projects. But I thought I could do something for our little blog corner. (remember, someone's gotta do it). Oh, don't you worry about spoilers, I aint got the energy to spilled out Philip Bauer is actually Jack Bauer's old man.. oops Raymond.
What I am doing is simple, just cut and paste a "24" article I wrote from my personal blog here. Easy task, some rediting, re-mastering, you get one full article feature on yet again, your favourite TWENTYFOUR!!
The recent atmosphere in the office of regular burning nights and hectic schedule long needed a break. I thought this blog post might bring you guys some smiles. So sit back and relax, here goes my written article about T......F... I don't have to spell it out.
(The below article is a write up from my personal blog entitled "Before I Knew It I was Hooked")
Enjoy.
Before I Knew It I was Hooked"
"The following takes place between 7am and 8am".
By the time it goes : "The following takes place between 6am and 7am", which is day 2, Jack Bauer would have already save the world under 24 hours yet again. Inevitably.
Its the same regime, expected outcome where the good prevails and the villians eliminated. The golden globe award winning TV series "24" stars Kiefer Sutherland, in reel life a CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit) agent dedicating his whole life for his country. Its not hard to imagine how successful the show is. Sutherland, who grabbed the emmy awards for his role in "24" signed a 3 year US$40million contract, repriving his role as Jack Bauer again.
Barely six months ago, when "24" season one landed on the sofa in my room (compliments of my younger brother who got everyone in the office discussing "24" during every god damn lunch), I left it sitting there for another 2 months.
Last night, I finished Season five.
For someone who does not worship TV and who would rather past his time hitting golf balls at the range, "24" has definitely twisted some of my leisure habits, drastically. I am now victimised. Great god of media have me hooked on high budget TV serials such as "Prison Break" and "24".
It is not surprising for me to get hook on serial dvds. But 4 years ago, something astonishing happened.
My good old dad is an extreme workaholic. He wakes up at 6.30am every morning, works 7 days a week, comes home late from work, and when the Asian Financial Crisis hits, he works 10 tens harder to fight back his construction empire. He went to China, set up his new plant, worked his ass out, and took his poor old lad (Myself) along to carry out his sadistic mission of torturing oneself at work.
One fine day, he cut short his work hours and dissappear from his office before lunch. I later learned that he has dedicated the rest of his days watching TV serials while his son is working his ass out in the sick China factory in Qing Pu, a southern back dated town away from Shanghai towards Suzhou. And it went on for a couple of weeks.
Of course this was for a very short period of time, before long he felt an itch in his backside and he's off to Totureville again. This is my good old man, whom I respect as father, a true businessman and a not to mention a devoted sadist at work.
Such is the lure of good TV serials. Don't get me wrong, I am not all ready to jump into the bandwagon of screaming housewives and aunties oogling at Korean men starring in Korean soap operas (May? You there?). But TV shows with budget matching that of Hollywood's movies does turn me on, very.
"24" season 6 have already premiered in the US. And the counter terrorist bug has already hit me. "Hands UP! CTU!! Put your hands over your head and slowly lower you weapon..." I am beginning to hear this in my head now....
