advice is what we ask for when we already
know the answer but wish we didn't.

trippy bookcase

how cool is this bookcase?imagine walking through - it'd be so trippy!

check out the other pictures plus the description and video of making of/walkthrough here

the video is a must see, because it shows the room better.
i thought at first that it was a narrow corridor - but i think it looks nice in this huge room
it's almost like a living thing, because it bubbles outward from the wall.

rules of rainy day etiquette

1) when walking with umbrellas, leave ample room for others to walk past you, especially if they also have an umbrella. don't walk right next to them and get them wet when your umbrella collides with theirs.

2) make sure to avoid puddles. if you are an avid puddle fan, please wait until all others are out of the splash range before engaging in said jumping activities. don't get others wet because it's fun for you. it's not for us.

3) to continue on the puddle theme, can car drivers please avoid driving right next to the curb just to splash pedestrians. we shouldn't be soaked because we're doing out bit for the environment by not driving. don't purposefully veer to the side, we can see you doing it.


i rest my case.



on a side note: 100th post! woop!

shifting

one thing i'd like to learn this year is tilt shift photography.

it's an amazing photography technique (using lots of expensive equipment which i do not have) to make real-sized things look like models.

this is very close to my heart because miniature things are my thing.
see the tag called fimo if you're not sure what i mean.

here are some photos that i've found on the net, on this website.








aren't they just amazing?

one day i'll post my photos. one day.

handwriting

sometimes when i'm writing notes, i'll write so fast that i'll occasionally skip letters.
but then i look back and it doesn't look wrong.

because instead of just normal-skipping, i combine letters.

the other day i wrote 'thinker' and combined the k and e to make one letter so that from afar it just looked like two even though i knew i only wrote one letter.

bizarre, yet it works.
i'm sure there are many similar cases that i haven't picked up on because it looks right.

ah retrospect.

i was listening to the radio this morning and the announcer was saying how he checked his daughter's facebook and most of the kids were online during the day on their phones.
this got me thinking - what did we do in class when i was younger? we didn't have facebook mobile or iPhones or for that matter, iPods for a while..

but what we did do


was play



snake!


and now there is a convenient online version here.

go carazy!

it is impossible to travel faster
than the speed of light,
and certainly not desirable,
as one's hat keeps blowing off

epic centre

in melbourne, there's also a building which looks nothing like what it's called.
