More Mcqueen

Some pictures of the Alexander Mcqueen Cruise 2011 collection was recently out and Sarah Burton (creative director of Alexander Mcqueen's label now) designed it!
What do you think of it?

I think the difference now is that you can see yourself or celebrities (besides Lady Gaga) wearing this collection. The design and cuts are good. Interesting details and patterns too.

But is it just me or is does this preview look a little.. tame?

Maybe I need some rehab.. Or maybe just need some sleep.

I keep getting sucked into this horrible cycle.

It's like a vicious cycle. The kind that farmers go through when they're crops don't harvest enough and they have little crops to sell because they've to keep some to grow the next crop and it goes on?

My gosh I totally forgot. What IS a vicious cycle? Sounds vicious. And I know it's about farmers. And.. technology? I just can't remember it now. Sorry Mr Ng (my geography teacher) you're a gr8 teacher and I'm usually not this dumb. I know what a vicious cycle is, I'm sure! Just ask me the next time you see me. I know I'll have remembered it by then!

Okay anyway my point is...

I've been stuck in a cycle that makes me so tired and sleepy all the time. Like there will be a period of time when I'm super free like nobody's biz and I stay up so l8 on my laptop or su'm because I don't want to waste precious time! I feel like I have to make full use of my 24 hours a day, y'know?

So then when I needa do stuff and all, the tiredness accumulates into a big snowball- no make that an avalanche- of tiredness!

Okay next week I'll be free-er I think I'll really try to rest and stop my brain from thinking I need to be working 24 hours a day. And rest my eyes!

Alrighty off to prepare for the ANGELS & DEMONS PARTY!

I know it'll be a blast. Whoooooooooo

(then off to sleep zzz)

A little ball unites people

Go South Africa! from Sir Moving Images on Vimeo.

"When the world comes together at an event like the FIFA World Cup 2010, there’s typically more than just a trophy at stake. In South Africa, the country hosting this year’s tournament, race relations surely stand out as one of the more complex issues. In this stop-motion short, titled Go South Africa!, the topic is examined in a morality tale involving soccer balls. The short was directed by Robbert-Jan Vos, and art directed and animated by Renske Mijnheer."

Soccer fever hits town. World cup has started and everyone's taking sides.
Now, before I go on, I must let you know that my knowledge on world cup is rather limited and I jump on the bandwagon shamelessly.
If Brazil wins, I will tell you that I'd known it from the start. Soccer blood runs in them brazil people.
But if Brazi loses, I'll say very gravely that yeah, I'd kinda known from the start that they wouldn't win. Female intuition and all that, y'know?

So don't raise your eyebrows at me if you ask me which team I support and I give you a different answer after each match.

I do have a dream, though, to watch soccer on a wide-screen and eat caramel-flavoured popcorn with ice-cold coke wearing a loose jersey tee and then lifting up my hands to yell 'GOAALLL' for any goal scored in the game. Then be real patrotic and sing 'OLE OLE OLE OLEEE' with the winning team. And discuss how 12 hot grown men can make so much effort over a little ball that doesn't know how to appreciate them.
