FUCK OLD PEOPLE

THERE, I SAID IT. Seriously, FUCK THEM!

7.55am: Old lady pushes Soryi and mumbles racist comments under her breath. I politely give her a piece of my mind "GO FUCK YOURSELF, OLD LADY!" I say. And as everyone looks on in disgust I blast them with a gentle "FUCK ALL OF YOU!"

8.47am: Old people are getting on the bus. I am waiting patiently behind them, so that I can put in my ticket. People are pushing behind me, but still I wait. I go to sit down and they're in my way again. I gently squeeze by and get a angered mumble. "WHAT?! GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY THEN!" I reply.

1.34pm: At the bank, waiting in line for 25 minutes. I finally get to the teller and stand hand over money and doing banking things. And an old man stands next to me and starts coughing. I try to ignore him. He stands there still coughing and looking at me. "Excuse me sir, I don't mean to be rude, but could you please step back. I am uncomfortable with you being in my personal space when I am dealing with money" I gently say. "FUCK YOU! I STAND WHEREVER I WANT!" was his reply. "WHAT?!?! FUCK YOU! GET OUT OF MY SPACE!" "YOU HAVE PLENTY OF SPACE! I'M NOT TRYING TO STEAL YOUR MONEY!" he says. "I didn't think you were, I just feel uncomfortable with you standing right next to me!" "YOU BETTER STOP TALKING BEFORE I STOP YOU FROM TALKING" was his response. Now I can't very well beat up an old man, despite him being an insane one. "GO TO HELL SIR!" I say, and storm out of the bank.

Seriously, am I going completely crazy. What the fuck is wrong with the world?! and me?!?!?!

THIRTY FIVE

We've been experimenting with an old Pentax 35mm SLR and an old Konica point-and-click 35mm. Both produce photos with some really magical qualities. Really nice.

PS. The ones of me smoking are old. While I do miss smoking sometimes, I haven't had any since the wedding. I promised Soryi I'd quit for her, and I intend on keeping that promise.

THE NEW LIST

Back in 2005 I made a list of places I wanted to visit, and about half of those places I've made it to. Here is a revised list, some from the old list, and some new ones. Just dreaming at this stage.

UPDATE: Soryi Linus, it was 2006.

MONDAYNE PORTFOLIO UPDATE

My portfolio site has had a makeover, and some new content put up. Soryi and I were up all night getting it ready. She built it, and I scrambled together the pictures. I've got an interview on tuesday. Check it out if you like. www.mondayne.com

KONG HONG AND MACAU

Here's some photos from our trip. There's plenty more in this Flickr set.

Hong Kong

SO WE HAVE 24 HOURS AND 15 MINUTES LEFT. Soryi is in the hotel room sleeping, and I'm waiting another 14 minutes now so I can check us in for our flight online. We got back from a day-trip in Macau about 20 minutes ago, and we are both exhausted. This whole trip has been exhausting. Of course, because that's our style, we see the HELL out of a city when we visit. But it's also been a lot of fun. We'd definitely come back! And recommend it to anyone we see.

I can't post any photos just yet, no memory card reader, but I'll try on Sunday. We arrive at 06.35am, so I'll probably sleep a lot first before I do anything, but we'll see. Suffice to say, the photos are awesome. Literally! Some of the best I've taken. Hardly any photoshopping required this time.

Anyway, check-in is in 10 minutes now.

WE'RE GROWN-UPS NOW!

IT ALL WENT REALLY WELL. You'll have to wait for stories untill after we get back from Hong Kong (early Sept) and I be able to put up more pictures too. But suffice to say, it was a nice day, a small affair, and exactly like we'd hoped for and nothing at all like we feared. Thank you to everyone who came, and apologies to everyone who wasn't able to make it. There's always VEGAS in 2011, which we're still planning on doing... why? WHY NOT!?

View the photos as a slideshow HERE.

IT MIGHT HAVE SUNK IN NOW

WE'RE GETTING MARRIED IN FIVE DAYS! I can't believe it. It's really exciting. And it feels right. I'm not nervous (yet?) and I don't know if I should have any reason to be.

What I am though, is bored at work, so I threw this together in photoshop. And now I understand why all those kids were/are doing this style; it's totally freaking easy! Distressed scrapbookey-romanticy-crap is a peice of piss.
