i think i'm blogging too much, i blog faster than people can read. haha. oh well. i just keep having something to say.
Anyway, today i came up with a more visual ending for my Ambitious Card Routine! (basically a routine where i place a chosen card in the middle, make it return to the top, and do this again and again and again)
I'm quite confident with ACR already, performed it once for Carmen on sunday (she is really the easiest person to fool), but i wasnt very satisfied with my Shapeshifter ending.
(shapeshifter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKv1wzCkQnM )
So today i was just playing around with my cards and i came up with an even more visual ending!! I shall name it 'crazer color change' =)
The sleight may appear kinda obvious to some of you , but it's only cos it's on video. Shapeshifter seems pretty damn obvious to me on video, but when i perform it it just stuns people. In real performances i shoudl be able to misdirect a little and pull off the sleight better.
I so love it!! =)

Miss Teen USA is da pwnz / so is mrbrown
hmm, my previous post has garnered a surprisingly amount of responses from many people. I didn't expect it to be so.. provocative? Can't find the word for it. Maybe 'interesting' is the word.
Was just typing from my thoughts. Glad you people like it =D
(even if you dont like it.. well.. too bad. others do so yay.)
anyway, i just stumbled upon the should-already-be-famous video of Miss Teen USA 2007 (South Carolina) answering the question during the finals.
can someone please tell me what on earth she's talking about? want to smoke an answer at least smoke with.. coherent smoke. Not like zig zag spiral allovertheplace smoke.
And a funny spoof of her answer here, in a scenario where she has to call 911
Hahaha damn funny this blonde chick imitate the Miss Teen USA's answer very well. haha.
Ok to fully appreciate how incoherent and illogical her answer is, you have to read it at a go:
"I personally believe... that.. US Americans are unable to do so.. because.. uh.. some .. people in our nations don't have maps, and i believe that our education, such as in South Africa, and.. uh.. the Iraq, and everywhere like such as and, I believe that they should, er, our education over here! In the US, should help the US! Should help south africa, should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children. "

anyway, mr brown is freaking hilarious in this particular podcast. damn stupidly-funny la!!! hahaha.

The context is basically a particular block of flats having some old people sit around the concrete table and stone seats and gamble there. And so to solve the gambling problem.. Aljunied Town Council REMOVED the table and seats (as you can see in the picture)
So Mr brown posts a podcast in trademark fashion ^_^

a rant on =)
=) =)
hi hello. ^^ im blogging and writing a bunch of lovely things =) haha. and so today i played basketball in school after school was over, was so fun! =D played with pewi and some people whom i dont really know.. but was fun cos I made some nice qies and bursts. But it's like qie past some girls sometimes. So.. nvm la still nice qie =D :) hahaha. lol. i'm happyy.
~~~
Ok how did you feel when you read the above paragraph. Or rather, how did you think i felt? happy? why? cos i said 'i'm happy'? cos i put a ton of smiley faces ?
Well i dont exactly feel entirely happy, basketball was just average cos everyone like slack slack and it was with girls so more like.. play for fun not intense one. And i had a reason to be super duper upset last night, but glad i resolved it by talking to the person. I'm feeling neutral now in fact, but because of all the smiley faces and stuff, i believe i made you think i was happy for a sec.
That's the fallacy of technology isn't it? When we sms each other and see our .. smsee reply with a smiley face and a 'lol', we naturally assume the person is in a good mood. just last night that person i was talking to , i'm pretty sure the person felt terrible, but the message went something like 'don't fret about it, i'm ok you know :) '
It looks so deceptively normal and happy, but i know for sure that the person couldnt have been happy.
Smiley faces and internet acronyms have proliferated as a disguise, a mask for unhappiness. When we go 'lol', are we really Laughing Out Loud? (for the record, i do overuse 'lol' sometimes, but when i really do laugh out loud i type 'LOL'. :p )
When we put a smiley face, are we really smiling? Or has it became a sort of punctuation in our messages. Or are we trying to sound more friendly?
Perhaps we're replacing that fake smile we always sport with this ':)' in our messages.
Gah, that's why when i'm talking about something personal or serious i'd rather talk face to face. Even over the phone, it's kinda hard to detect voice changes, facial expression changes (i wanna take psychology next time :p ) , behavioural changes. (sociology sounds quite interesting too)
Do you know that your pupils dilate when you're interested about something?
Do you know that your pupils roll up and to the left/right ever so slightly when you're lying/talking about something related to your heart (e.g. girl you like, etc)
(This gets even more obvious to spot when the other person KNOWS about this, and deliberately fixates his gaze on you or doesnt establish eye contact)
imagine an MSN conversation going between two people who hate each other:
(brackets are the person's thoughts)
Guy A : hey there! :)
Guy B: oh hi!! (dammit why this idiot msging me)
Guy A: i like the shirt you wore today! nice sia. haha. (ugly thrash actually, but i need to get him to help out at the party so.. must suck up abit)
Guy B: heh thanks, my friend bought for me one. =D (as if you like it)
Guy A: lol. good taste sia ur fren. (lalala... abit more idle chat.. and i'll ask him)
Guy B: =) (zz can he stop talking to me)
Guy A: eh can you help out at the school party this Friday? (cmon say yes you idiot)
Guy B: oh.. i should be free. Sure! :) (DAMMIT. i should've appeared offline. i can't say no cos this bastard will go spread to other people if i do. zzz. sian. There goes my friday)
Guy A: awesome! ok cya then! (hope i dont see you at all actually -_- )
Guy B: np! (yea no problem for screwing me you idiot)
~~~
SEE HOW FAKE WE HAVE BECOME!!!
seriously, they should put a cap on the number of smiley faces you can type in 1 minute, as well as the number of 'haha's and 'lol's. Sms lengths will cut by half, MSN conversations will get shorter by 1/3, and... life will be so much more real.
Good day :) :)
