Aww! I have a little Rottie girl, she's 13 weeks this weekend. Her name is Roxanne :)
This is truly amazing and so powerful! wow!
You are so talented!
The shading and the form you use are really good.
Really nicely done!
All That I can't leave Behind
Everything I have given
Everything that I am
Endless thoughts,
mirrored memories
upon this beautiful land
This love for breathing life
This passion lights the dark
My love of living these endless dreams
And walking beneath the stars
Understand that I appreciate
That which you do not understand
Know that I see everything
upon these desert lands
Are you my happiness
Do you make me feel alive
A soul who has no voice,
just a raging passion
this soul will never die
------------------------------
What is life
without these voices,
trembling within the iris of time
what is life
without the wind
the soul
the sanguine skies
like a swan's embrace
upon mirrored waters
crystals fall on the shore
I am now
but never again
convinced
but never more
let me be
oh find my heart
but touch not that
which does not break for you
reach for the skies
as I stand here
soul singing and dancing
as a bipolar pendulum would do.
open your eyes
so you can see
the blue plane
above the sea
skies now come
these souls life fed
universe torn and bleeding
tearing the skies with crimson red.
The sun now sets
into your eyes
fall to your knees
mental cliff dive
as a finger in your eye
sweat beads the thoughts
as i disappear from you
as i disappear forever more.

- heeey...wussup?haha.ive been sooo damn busy i didnt even have time to go online or anything.daymnn...
so yeah,'promoting' my country wasnt intentional, but since it made a good impression, cool!u see...the best thing bout malaysia is,it is so diverse in its culture,yet,its a (very) small country.u can taste a region's speciality dishes in the morning,then head to it's neighboring region to bash out at their lovely beaches,and then head on to the next state and watch their traditional dance in the night!all in one day.haha.if u'r heading here,make sure u give me ur map so i can mark for u all the 'you-must-go-here-or-else-u're-so-wasted' places. :D
and bout that grudge of yours,yeah i feel u.that's EXACTLY why im venturing away from architecture.it just takes over your life!i've hardly drawn anything since i started architecture.sigh.i feel sorry for your friend though.
hey im starting my year end exams next month!good luck to you!
sure i'll post something up some time later.i just dont really have the time yet to actually 'digitalise' my works so people can see.haha.but i'll post them for u someday,ok?
chow buddy~

- hey amanda!
ive been away for quite a while i didnt even have time to go online...so what are u up to lately?well,besides polates...haha..that was really funny.
talking bout keeping ourselves sane,im with u man.but still,sometimes i'd go for insanity.it keeps me busy. :D
n yeah,ur right bout 'the first step' though.n im really just trying various different stuff lately just to find the right formula.im an architecture student by the way,but ive been venturing into different stuff lately from fine arts to industrial design.
oh and u said ur goin traveling?wow thats cool.i wish i had the chance.well,if its culture,food and music u'r looking for,i think this part of asia would be great.err not that im trying to promote my country in a zealotous-patriotic way though.haha.but malaysia's not bad too.we got all that coz of our multiracial backround,so we have like 5 to 7 different style of food,music and all.n not to mention the fusions among those 7.haha.n i went to bali and bangkok too,n i just love them.especially bali.coz the people there really appreciates arts,u can almost see another piece of artwork every 3 steps u take in their town.haha.
ok then,chow.hope u have another fanbloodytastic week ;)

- hey :)
her (!) name is Jolina. :) i really like that name ^^ haha.she's got six month now.
your dog is funny ^_^ i hope he will live forever.i've got a dog too (bobby), but he died for three years. i was very sad, he was like a brother for me, but he lived fifteen years, and so his time had come.
somthing about me?
i am a young german girl, which haves a younger geman daughter :) i am not religios but i believe in the spirit which is in everything of the world. i think, i am very funny but can be serious too. i am a crazy mind and my idol is frida kahlo, with her wonderful sureallism.since i have my daughter i feel a sense in my life. in the past, i was a partyqueen: sex, drugs and rock'n'roll, baby ^^. but now there's silence, but it feels really good.i don't miss anything.
i think, i am strong, little bit crazy and full of love.
and the most importent thing in the world is, in my opinion, the human beeing.
kisses and hugs to you :*

First-of-Its-Kind Map Details the Height of the Globe's Forests
ScienceDaily (July 21, 2010) — Using NASA satellite data, scientists have produced a first-of-its kind map that details the height of the world's forests. Although there are other local- and regional-scale forest canopy maps, the new map is the first that spans the entire globe based on one uniform method.Climate bill in doubt as Democrats delay action
U.S. Senate Democrats said on Thursday they will wait until September at the earliest to take up broad climate-change legislation, a potentially fatal blow to the White House push to curb greenhouse gases. The delay means Democrats have little time to advance the complex legislation amid intense political pressure in the weeks before November congressional elections. It also could derail global climate change initiatives, as the world's major economies and greenhouse gas emitters insist the United States play a leading role.© 2010 Created by makeyourselffoundation.
