That's right.
I am sick of the mess I'm sleeping in. All the unwanted, old stuff around and living in it for the past eon years, its time for an intervention.
I'm getting rid of all my junk and start anew and shall plan as so:
Phase 1: Junking
Phase 2: De-dust
Phase 3: Hue Overcoat
Phase 4: Household Property Recruitment
And his starts this weekend.

A film by David Brown. "I Love Trash" is a documentary about dumpster diving. Two friends decide to do an experiment in trash. They rent an unfurnished apartment and arrive with only the clothes they are wearing and a flashlight. They decide not to buy any things for 3 months and instead to find all their needs in the trash. They furnish their apartment lavishly. They eat decadently. They dress sharp, and create beautiful art, all from the trash.

Matthew Perry is missing part of his middle finger on his right hand due to a door-shutting accident when he was young. Don't believe? Look below.

Woke up alittle late, went Ikea to have brunch, took an cab to CMPB to pay what i owe, headed to Vivocity to watch Detroit Metal City, went to Sistic at City hall to get tickets to The Winter's Tale, met up with Richard for the UIP surprise screening which turned out to be Duplicity and finally finishing up reading Ebo's movie script on the way home.
Not bad for a Monday.

As much as i want to to abroad to spend my free time, i've actually sorted out plans for tonight, Thurs and Fri.
I guess Sydney has to wait till a later time. Spending 800 bucks for plane ticket for a 3 day trip isn't really worth it.

I'll just make it short and sweet.
Because of the recession and our disability of the magazine to sustain to be in the current form. Management has thoroughly weighed in all possibility to salvage what is left and has finally made the decision.
First movie magazine will no longer be a magazine. From late April or early May, look out for First, as a section in TNP every Thursday.
This news hasn't really been out officially but the plan has already began running through. (hope i don't get in trouble with this post but I'll take the risk, don't think my posts are read by many anyway)
What becomes of the team? Well the editorial team will be moving out to the News Center and as for us art team, our feet will still be planted in SPHM.
What will I be doing? Has you may have noticed my post title, i will be transferred to the online medium, back to my roots where i began in the design line. Have yet to know the fate of my art director and editor.
This sucks...

First of all, thank you for all the birthday wishes i receive physically, from SMS, and Facebook.
24th March is usually pretty much an uneventful day for me. I don't celebrate them. Not that it reminds me of how old I'm getting but simply its just a matter of thinking its a celebratory kind of occasion for me.
This year is kind of nerve-wrecking for me. OK here's the low down with some back story. Remedial Training (RT) is a normality for me as i never could pass my IPPT since ORD. I've always escaped as i was under the radar till a year ago. Most of you guys know that I'm in the publication industry and my monthly peak period is nothing new. A week before the actual deadline, times can be rough and hard on me and i would have to make-up for 2 session and "die-die" must take the next session. Along came the final day, which i had to work an "over niter" on a Friday and only came home the next day noon. If you could connect the dots, i overslept my Sat afternoon session and was automatically a defaulter.
For those who have experience this would know that the 1st time is fine i guess. But this was my 3rd. The 1st was a long story concerning my window period and me taking IPPT during my In-Camp. My 2nd was just plain laziness.
The white letter came. CMPB. NSSC. In uniform. Thank goodness it was my lull time and took leave for that day. So there i am, face-to-face with the officer. I was so darn nervous but all ready to face an ultimate sentencing of DB which i hear floating around if you're a repeat offense.
"Will you accept my punishment or would you like to appeal in court?" says the officer.
I accepted it and lo and behold, a punishment of $100 dollars was placed upon me.
What a relief! Then i remembered. I'm screwed, I only have $81 in my bank. Luckily, I was able to make a delayed payment with the consent of an approving officer. But he was no where to be found! Well he was stuck at a meeting and didn't see him till 1 hour later. My delayed payment was approved and will be back there to make payments this coming Monday.
The rest of the day was pretty much quiet and slowly began my days of being 29.
I've got to wake up my idea and go to these bloody RTs. They are so irritatingly disruptive...
