APPLETASTIC

nothing hardly ever means anything.
one word; 下らない。
can’t see rhyme or reason through this cloud of reality.
i’m utterly confused; what is this all about?

don’t come looking for me first because you know i won’t do the same
to anybody. it’s a game, and i’ll always win
in the greatest defeat

when you live for sheer moments, you kind of fade a bit
by the day

in the middle of some evenings come the dawning awareness
of what i can’t even wrap my whole mind around

then sometimes
i’d love to just sit and watch it pass me by
like a 下らない movie that’s not really mine

Well, you see, even the doctor’s psychic.
What is wrong with my immune system these days?
On a sidenote:
My savings has been exhausted and I’ve just enough to last me for only one week;
how ironic that I had so much more when I wasn’t yet working.
So as the saying goes, FML.

Watching Case 39 recently had me google for the amazing child actress, whom I found out to be Jodelle Ferland who also starred in Silent Hill the horror film that had created a lasting impression when I saw it about four years back, and both were filmed around the same time. She’s 15 now, no longer a “child”, but I think Jodelle has really unique features that you might find a wee bit asian, if you squint (my mind keeps morphing this drawing into Inoue Mao lol). At the age of 11 she pulled off such a difficult and easily stereotyped role in Case 39, which was truly impressive. I can’t even comprehend what I was thinking at that age, let alone make putting myself in another’s shoe seem so effortless.

It’s been a while! Two sketches born while taking a break in the office; obviously #2 took more time, because awww she’s so so so cute <3 (but I drew a terrible hand, what happened!) Oh, and my hair’s wavy like hers now.

Work has been good so far (y)

もうわかんない。
すごく疲れた、本当に。
time-out
shut down
restart.

on the new job tomorrow, hello K.

1. KINETIC

Not physics, just plenty of anxiety to wait out the coming week with before I officially hop on their spacecraft as ‘interactive designer’. Will a close-knit team accept *blind deers?

2. CRAVINGS

When Curry was there to indulge in my **washoku cravings, the goodness doubled. We ordered much more than natto intended and couldn’t care less, bill. Let’s make this a fortnightly affair ^^

3. A MINOR

I tap a casual beat and dance my fingers across the keys, awkward, based on more muscle memory than consciously comprehending notes. Four pages of a quartet, yet. Getting complex.

4. BOY

The endearing thing looked exactly like he walked out of the book cover of Rental Children. I cuddled Yu, thinking seriously, if no one wants to adopt you, I do.

5. MONSTER

No, I mustn’t let it consume my consciousness like how the zombie was devouring my head last last night; it’s too precious a song to get tired of so quickly.

6. RED WINE

Composure shattered as the glass toppled and hurled it towards her, I couldn’t stop apologising. At eleven years old, she dabs her drenched phone without looking too hurt. I’m grateful.

7. APRIL SHOWERS

May flowers are blooming slowly, steadily, mild sunshine warding off the looming shadows of rainclouds; at least the worst of downpours is behind us. What will lay in store next?

8. ARTSY CAFE

Most ideal for a therapeutic session from work and random frustrations with the like-minded artsy-lovin’ friends. The list of places keeps growing, yet my dear savings deplete by the day.

9. OUTBOX

My texts refused delivery one day after a blackout, screaming for a new phone; it’s time, after all. Rebooting trice worked, however — cause it’s too (pretty) functional to part with.

10. MULTIPLY SIGN

Besides, nobody else understands those abbreviations. / For once he commented, yet impersonal sounding; prove that he’s still as unreadable. Almost Figments on hold till I find better reasons to continue.

* You may attempt to answer the silly riddle: what else can you call them?
** Washoku 和食: Japanese cuisine

Yeah it’s so obvious I let my laziness hide behind those 30-word so called elaborations. And I’m talking like they even make sense to you. (Let’s just pretend they do <3)
