stolen colours

2010.

(more…)

I’ve been fixated on stop-motion ads for two days now, all because Kiezin linked one commerical and one youtube link led to another!

This natural gas commerical, where they embody the concept of heat in knitted coverings. Absolutely whimsical and brillaint! Kiezin spammed this. Please watch the equally delightful making-of video here.

The rest, I got from youtube hopping:

PES: The making of Western spaghetti. Stop motion with a witty choice of ingredients. I especially like the Rubik cube and the tree made of money notes.

Other videos by PES that I really liked too:
Coinstar ad - where your missing coins really go to.
Game Over – a tribute to PacMan and other retro games.
Fireworks
Food Fight – it’s just food, but this video is actually extremely disturbing. Not for the fainthearted.
Scrabble ad

Got spammed this.
Too cute, just too cute, this pair of baby rabbits. I especially love how the one on the right is so blatantly indifferent and how the one on the left has no insight. Mwahahahaha.

Count to ten.
Clench your teeth, and unclench them.
Blow your nose.
Wipe your eyes – but with a different tissue, mind.
Take a deep breath. And another.
Compose your thoughts.
Type. (ignore the urge to fling back the same vulgarity)
Delete.
Type again. (you know it’s your fault things are this way)
Read it two times.
Delete.
Type again. (does it sound neutral and civil enough)
Read it three times.
Press “send”.
And hope for the best.

Deluhi’s latest single, The Farthest. Back to the early Deluhi but even more epic than usual. My adoration of this band has been renewed. Lyrics completely in grammatical English, even if it’s rather hard to make out.

Her Morning Elegance by Oren Lavie.
Love the video; the concept’s not new, but so much effort was put into this whimsical video.

This is one of my favourite iPhone snaps since I bought it. Caught this sight just when I was walking from the carpark to my workplace. Had to stand in the middle of the road to snap it and nearly became roadkill, lol.

My other favourite sunrise photo was blogged in this post.

X Japan – Rusty Nail PV (2010)
Found this while surfing jrock blogs. Gosh, why why why are they rehashing an old song with a new, incomplete PV?! Using one of the concert live recordings, to boot.

So I went to look for one of the earlier concert performances of Rusty Nail:

From The Last Live.

I lived and breathed X Japan when I first got into the band. I couldn’t stop looping their songs; reading about them; thinking about them. Their songs, the melodrama, the excitement, the sheer epicness; all heartrendingly beautiful. There won’t be a band like them again in the scene for a long, long time.

These days, I wonder what the youngsters listen to when they first get hooked onto Jrock.

Haven’t blogged anything for quite a while.
There’s nothing much really interesting happening in my life. I kinda miss my former ward team because the MOs consisted of my classmate and juniors; but am not complaining about where I am now.

Attended Junxu’s and Laura’s church wedding on Saturday. This weekend must have been particularly auspicious with four classmates throwing wedding dinners (two of them are marrying each other, so that’s a total of three weddings). It didn’t end there.

** online at 8pm on Sunday **
M (senior): how’s life?
me: woah three weddings from my batch this weekend! Must be particularly auspicious.
M: I’m at XX and YY’s wedding now. (Where XX and YY are two doctors too.) LOL.

Hobbled down to town after the wedding to visit lynn and brother at E*scape (Is that how one spells it?) Am almost tempted to go watch Hakouki as the graphics are gorgeous; but kill me before I buy any of those card games. (BUT QIONG! Junjou card game exists in Japan!!!!)

Went for Japanese class on Sunday. I would have joined the girls for BBQ at Downtown East, but my nose started running and just wouldn’t stop. I must be allergic to … not working, I guess? Argh. Miss you guys.
