lost dreams

Here lies the story of an amateur. An amateur in almost everything. This shall be a page of limitless talks about his rants, journeys, and his forever amateurish undertakings. The amateur is called The MaS, and The MaS is none other than Elwyn. MaS is short for MaSaLaH, which came to hit me in the head! It came many years ago, and so it shall continue to be used till this day and in the future. But it seems that you might want to know my past. My past lies here. So if you ever wondered how i was, then you can always check on my old blog. So enjoy the post that i post up every now and then.

Well this blog would certainly be staying private forever after all, and hopefully when I am ready, I shall begin a new blog as how i hope i could begin a new life.

The Journey of Many Great Lessons

I have no freaking idea what to write but hey, lets give it a try since I havent been blogging for awhile. Ohhh, I got something to blog about. I am back at work! Why to some, well it all began when Ian (whom I replace while he was on holiday) told that he would not be coming in for Tuesday ( the day when the shop will begin its work for the week) as he had to go for an interview. So I was called in last minute to help around the shop. Since I was quite free i agreed to it. So I thought I would only work on that day alone. To my dismay, the day that I worked, on that night itself, Ian QUIT his job without giving enough notice to all 3 bosses at the shop. That was no good indeed. This was because I came in the following day, which I was just suppose come in just to get tattooed, but only to find out that I had to work as well. But I did get tattooed as well (just the coloring of the left side of the fish that i suffered a great deal when I did the lines the week before). So I agreed to work on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and now I even agreed to work on Tuesday. Ahhh there was alot of work to be done with Lina in Kuching, I had to throw out the garbage, sweep the floor, mop the floor, put the plastic bags for the garbage bins, wash the tubes (for the tattooing machine), and of course buying lunch within an hour. SO far i have failed miserably to make the mark.

Well I have another reason to go to Desa Sri Hartamas, might as well work for a little bit more money. Ahhhhhh much of the preparations seems to be done, or am I deceiving myself. Indeed it seems as though time passing by like, hell where did the time go? Well, time is indeed passing by with such great speed when there are alot of things to do. Arghhhhhhh what can be done. Nevermind me, ranting about the short of time. I have yet to do the packing. Stupid procrastination is BAD !!!

Anyways, it is time to do all the shit I need to do. Indeed time is not that kind to me, but life has been rather kind to me with the work and all the things I have learnt over the pass 2 months plus plus while I was working in Borneo Ink. Things that can't be learn from the books but something to learn about life. Indeed this experience can't be bought with money. Having said that, I am sure people are wondering what the hell have I learnt there. Well for one of the most obvious things would be the talking and communicating with people. Another would be the fact that I shall no longer be conceit (fuck I simply use words which I myself am not sure the meaning is) and be straight forward, and must try to stand for what I think is correct. I also learnt that some geniuses are not born, they are made! Indeed, I have to make a list, and also write notes of things I want to change in order to change myself to be a very driven person. Ohhh not forgetting I am also learnt to be a more vulgar person in life as life will slap you in the face with shit if you are forever too good. MUST BE BAD !!!

I dunno what the hell I am writing here now, but it is something right? Well to all my readers, you are all invited to see me suffer extreme pain while I get tattooed on my ribs (on the side of my body). This invitation is to everyone who wants to have a look at how the tattoo scene is like. Its like Miami Ink in real life. This event is on the 2nd of February which is a friday. Please come by around 1pm to 2pm. You might be able to see miss Sue suffer as well. But I can guarantee you that you will see me suffer on that day.

Ahhh to any VU members who are reading my blog here, I wanna put up an invitation for the farewell pot luck BBQ party at my house, worry not I shall be sending the SMS soon enough !

Alright thats about it, till the next time I got time to ramble on and on about shit, enjoy life and have funz!!

The Journey of The Greatest Pain ..... PERIOD !!!!

The period doesn't mean I have period la, its just that it is the most painful pain I had felt so far in my life. The pain of getting my tattoo done on the side of my body. Like I said in my earlier post, the design that i had chosen had a great deal of lines.

Ohhhh did I forget to mention that the liners, especially the 3-needle-liners are the most painful in the tattooing arsenal. That is of course my own most humble opinion. The 3-needle-liners are then followed by the 7-needle-liners, and there are the rounds, which is meant for coloring, and then comes the magnums. There are a whole range of magnums, and then there are the super magnums (i call them super magnums because they are super huge!), where it is giganticly huge! Of course let me tell you the ranking of the pain for the different kind of needles.

In my most humble opinion, the 3-needle-liners are the most painful to be used on my skin. The pain is that intense as it is sort of cutting my skin. Lets just explain the pain as a extremely sharp and small knife cutting the skin. Its no fun especially when it is against my ribcage. But I asked for it !!!! With the design that I chose, it was indeed not fun. The lines was hell for me. Indeed it was. nearly 2 hours of lines is the killer. As it was being colored, I realize I already passed my threshold, and I was pushing my luck but doing the colors. Indeed I realized this at the point of no return. I told Lina (if you are reading this Lina, I am not blaming you, REALLY ONE!!!) to stop because I could not take it anymore. And indeed I could not take it anymore, but i still felt the pain, because when she did the coloring, I not only felt the pain at the area which she was tattooing but also the area around it. The soreness of the lines was killing me.

I still continued to feel the pain, and I could no longer take the pain. I broke down in tears. I could not stop the flow of my tears. The pain was to that extend. Well like my back my pain threshold was only like 2 hours to 2 and a half hours. But indeed for the side of my body, my limit was far less. But in order to finish the "1000" lines, I had to bear the pain a little. Indeed I have becomed a sick sick person. Now my tattoo is incomplete, as there is another side of the fish of which I need to do. I hope I will get the chance to do at least the outlines before I leave for Australia.

I will try to upload some of the movies that my cousin help me take during my most painful journey in getting a tattoo.

Well thats about it. I am not ashamed to say that I broke down in tears, as for a fact that mine had that many lines that really took along of my energy to focus on the reducing the pain. Why not you get a tattoo on the side of your body with alot of lines like mine and see how you will react. I am not being lansi, I just want you to feel my pain too !!!

The End of The Working Journey

Ahhhh, after the 7 weeks there, it seems only yesterday that i began my journey of working in Borneo Ink. It has been a great journey as i learnt quite a fair bit of things from that place and really learn how to deal with the various types of people. It was a long journey where i learn that i am still just a human by doing normal mistakes here and there.

It was alot of fun working in Borneo Ink though at times it seems a little stressful with a sudden big amount of people coming in asking about getting tattooed. But i have to say it was great experience and now i learnt more about tattooing and the limitations of tattoos. Its fun shooting people's dream of having a certain design for their tattoo, because it is for a fact that tattoo will smudge over the years and the spacings between each of the solid black lines needs to be further from each other or else it shall join up and look like a piece of shit in a few years time.

I also had alot of fun seeing people in pain because I myself felt the pain before and it is no easy journey going through the pain. Well I am going to go through the pain once again, but this time the pain shall be worse than it usually is for me as it shall be done on the side of my body, meaning loads of pain coming!

It shall be a wonderful experience for me as i never had it done there ..... YET. Hahahaha as i would like to explain there are a few types of needles, and the worst would be the 3 needle liners! They hurt the most and inflict the greatest pain! Yeah baby and the design I am doing have ALOT of lines. Soooooo all the best to me then. Hahahahaha.

Well, preparations are to be made for going to Australia. I am really slow am I not? Even as i blog here now, my friend and I still havent got a place to stay yet. Not a good thing as we need to get a place soon or else we have to stay somewhere else for the moment. Well hope we get a place soon!

Alright thats about it for today, i practically don't know what else to say.
