If Fonts Were Human...



Okay, you don't have to be a font geek to understand this video. Well, I think most font experts are dissing this uber silly video, saying that the script was badly written. So is the bad acting.

Actually, I agree. This parody would be A-class if they based it on the characteristics of the real font, not their names, and joke about kerning, x-height, type styles, etc.

But, hey...

...WHY SO SERIOUS~?

My Only Day

More and more people I know (or knows me) are beginning to read this small piece of web material. I'd put extra care in my word choices and the things I blog about. Not that I'm paranoid, but they say, never underestimate the power of blog.

Sunday's the only time for myself nowadays. It'll speed through and poof! The next thing I know, I'm back at my messy work desk, searching for papers and checking through my college mail. Projects are streaming in for us to initiate and follow through. These few days, I've learned things I thought I wouldn't have a problem with. Have good colleagues that are kind enough to point out my mistakes and share their experiences + knowledge.

Here. I quote Kay, a design director who used to teach at college:
"I think I'm a designer, but I'm not so sure."

Throat's a little sore and dry now.

I'm blog-hopping.

What will 10 years bring?

Didn't really like Rihanna's Take A Bow in the first place, but it keeps playing in my head now.

There are certain things that I do depending on my mood.

Right now, I'm not in a mood to clean up my room.

"Why so serious~?"

The Dark Knight is awesome. I'm saying this monotonously, because even if I make the awesome word, 10x magnified, added bold, in caps and coloured red, it cannot truly portray the awesome-ness of it. LOL. I couldn't catch some parts because everything is racing through, not that I want it to slow down, I'm saying that it's worth the second watch. I like my Batman shows dark, exhilarating, disturbing and reeking of heart-tugging moments. The best of all Batman series so far.

He's my kind of hero, the dark knight. He just as human as everyone else, without any supernatural powers. Okay, being filthy rich and intelligent enables him to own those freaking cool Batgadgets and Batmobile. Just like Ironman. But it's that dark mysterious aura that intrigues me. Haha.

Now I NEED to look back at the other movies and get started on the full stretch of Batman comics to be a 100% Batman fan.

Oh ya.

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY, ASHLEI HO SU YENG!!

Eggs and Bacons (which has nothing to do with this post)

I, hereby, sincerely apologize to whoever that I've bored them to tears with my work rants today. It should be a normal thing to be ranting about work to friends, but to your own colleagues? Ranting about work at work. Something I must stop doing. Yes, indeed.

Also, I must stop stumbling at my own speech and making people confused or straining themselves to catch what I say. And no to repeating my messages over and over, twisting and adding in vocabularies along the way. Sighs, students must think that I'm a nagging ol' grandmother at speech.

Busy times ahead. But I like it that I have an assignment-free zone at night and the sleeping hours stay sleeping hours.

Superior Saturday isn't half as fun and exhilarating as I thought, but still it's cool to have a robotic tower that is growing towards the Incomparable Gardens and I'm painting my thoughts with how Arthur would look like, pre-Denizen and currently Denizen-like.

Like how Eragon slowly turns elf-like, the longer he bonds with Saphira.

(The last book is coming out soon! Dang, I thought it would be titled Empire, after Eragon and Eldest, but Brisingr is quite cool itself. Hahaha.)

Now, it'd probably be another one-year-wait for Sunday to be released.

Patience is a virtue.
