Latest Trends in SX world
For those of you who have been watching this diary for the lastest trends
of SX world:
1. Listen to No Use For A Name.
punk rock guitars and great lyrics spelling out stories.
2. what else... Spurs asked me, "why r u sad?" on icq.
i was shocked briefly as i was not sad at that time. i hope my countenance
was not a scowl.
3. i discovered or rather re-discovered video games as the cutting edge of creativity
and fun in our increasingly interactive
world. There are lots of books from the US detailing how you can get into the
game industry. well, ok. Great. Before i go into the Singaporean
Mode: No! No! My life is fixed! i have to get a stable job and dun mention
economic crisis or leaving the country! which is what often happens to
me, i think maybe i should consider the possibility of becoming a game developer
or joining the gaming industry...hmm... ok. Consideration done. stay inert.
call me halogen. Nah... seriously, go look at point 4.
4. How do i work within the system and the culture
and the boundaries of my life to achieve game-world happiness?
(a) Go work at Paco FunLand, 9am to 5pm, treat my
friends to endless tokens of fun!
(b) Go play at Paco FunLand, 9am to 5pm, treat
myself to endless tokens of fun till i run out of money and still can't master
the 5 hit combo 1 plus 1 air tumble DDT.
(c) Take drugs and pretend im Mario.
(d) Go learn something during my internship in MTV
and hope to discover whatever good and confident thing i can do steadily which
is fun and creative and also economically viable for survival in this
inflationary world of costs and bills.
(e) Alternatively, get kicked out of MTV, join some
other band of people and form the Singapore New Wave. Like the 5th generation of
filmmakers who graduated from the China Film Academy and moved on to create
Chinese New Wave Cinema.
(f) Get a steady job, buy a sony PLaystation 2X, and
then get some pirated games from One-eyed Jack at AMK to play at home on
weekends while weekdays slog at some god forsaken job.
The Future looks Bright. Seriously.
