Chapter 228: Back Again

2012-01-07T09:35:00.000+08:00

Ok, so here i am back to this blog again.
Have totally forgotten about it til... like now? Haha.

But yea, nothing interesting happen, besides me being in Nottingham, UK. So yea.
My final year. Isn't it exciting? :D

Not really. It's stressful and have been slacking awhile so i really need to buck up.
So for all the stuff i've missed on this, a Happy New Year people.

2012. A year to remember. The year when i stop being a student, and earn my own living.
So yea, hope i keep this back up again. Til then.

Chapter 227: Education or Work

2011-07-15T08:44:00.000+08:00

So... i guess by now you guys know i'm working...
And... let me tell you.. it's not all that. Well except for the awaiting cheque with my name on it and some extra money~ XD

But then, waking up so early... to just get to the office on time.. then sitting down clicking here... typing there.. it's kinda dull... No wonder some working class people are so strung up all the time.

So... i'm currently typing this at 8.43 a.m. waiting for the other worker to come open up the office (since i'm intern i can't be holding a key)

Studying was a more fun time for me. I guess we have less worries and stress. And it's fun too....
Hmm... maybe if i was doing something design related...it might be fun as well... who knows.

Oh. I passed. Going to Year 3. But my results are kinda sad though....

Chapter 226: Working... For the First Time

2011-07-05T09:06:00.000+08:00

So.. it's my longest break i had since entering college. Around 4 months.
And i decided to get a job to see how's life in the working world for me....

Conclusion? Tiring... T.T

I kinda get how those characters in the Sims games feel now. How balancing out their needs and shit with work is hard.... (of course it's nto really accurate but it's quite a good representation)

I've worked in a photobook place for two days. I found that place... erm... kinda not really something where i would be able to gain much experience/knowledge from. Though my cutting skills are like Level 5 now! Whee!!

Anyway, so i took up a job offer with a mac reseller named, Epicentre. I worked one day for setting up(before the store open... i loved the environment there.. so quiet~) Then i worked during it's opening. My brother was there too. There were two other staffs (part-time) there as sales, one cashier, and two senior workers. I din really talk to the others much... as expected.

But anyhow... it was freaking tiring and that was yesterday. Today.... i'm at Pavillion.... it's still with the company, but i'm doing some other things. Not really sure what i'm going to do yet. But then it's basically some designing... tracing and stuff like that.

I think my bed is calling me.... But but but....*sob sob*

Anyway, that's the drill so far....

Oh i managed to sell some shit yesterday too. :D I'm so proud of myself.. Haha.

Chapter 225: REALLY Strange Dream

2011-06-25T16:11:00.000+08:00

So.... i had this one hour nap. And in that one hour i had a dream..

I dreamt that i was working in a company. The one that i got admitted into, but strangely enough... my co-workers were some people that i knew from Student Council. So it was a little weird as well that they were wearing a pet shop uniform but we were working in a publication company... Well anyway, in the dream.... we were working. I was kinda excited and stuff. But come lunch time... i was left alone in the office.
Which is bad of course. No one was there. So i sat there alone... doing work. I can't leave cause then no one would be there working. But at that time, there were no customers and it was oddly dark...
Maybe they off the lights or something to go out for lunch. Of course i felt sad... i mean they were my "FRIENDS" and they didn't even call me out for lunch together.
(EMO ALERT!)

So anyway, then they came back all joyful and... err... full.... =.=
And behaved like everything was just fine. So i did work and stuff... then got tired (and hungry) and walked out of the office to go get my lunch... And there's when stuff got jumbled up... i kinda forgot what i was dreaming of. ><

SO it was kinda a strange dream... but they say that dreams may be prophetic, and sometimes tell you of your biggest fear, your worries and all that stuff.

So i dunno... But i sure dun feel really nice after this.

P.S : I tried to tell someone about this... no one was there. Coincidence?

Chapter 224: Trust?

2011-06-01T01:55:00.000+08:00

You know, there are a few reasons that i do not trust people in general. Of course not that i don't trust anyone, i just can't trust people easily.

Anyway, one of the reasons that i don't, is that... they use you.

You treat them well... be some kinda shoulder to cry on when they're sad. Help them with their problems, when their in trouble you're there for them...
All the negative things, you will share it with them.
But when it comes to the happier times, they seem to have forgotten that you're friends.

They can go out, have fun, chat with his/her other friends, while you're left staring at the computer screen... Facebook-ing.. playing games and etc.

What am i to you? Someone to lighten your burden? I don't qualify to have fun with you just cause i'm... well, different slightly from the average person?

I thought that we were good friends, but in the end, i guess it's all a joke to him/her.
Sad to say, i've learnt my lesson. If anyone asks why i don't trust people, or why do i always have a wall built? Well, i just don't wanna hope to have a friend and it turns out i'm just... a free amateur "psychiatrist".

So, I've realized, it's not really that person's fault though. It's partly mine too. I'm just not.. a person anyone can handle. Well, that's the price for being unique. :)
I have friends that appreciates me for that. And i am content at the moment... (until the get really involved with their boyfriends and i'm left single... just kidding)

So this is me saying: "I'm too good for you. So get lost."

Chapter 223: Late Night

2011-03-11T05:50:00.000+08:00

Another night staying awake til the wee hours.
My eyes feel super tired, but i got to push myself a little longer.

I am afraid to go to sleep now... cause i'm afraid i might not be able to wake up tomorrow (today) at 9.
Have a presentation... NOOOO!!!!

Archiving my works now... i think i am currently in a trance.... i don't think i know what i'm writing now. haha.

But anyway. Just wanted to write something after being inactive for sometime.
Waiting for the CD to burn finish....

If you guys had sleep... i envy you.... not sleeping is not something you should be proud of....

Chapter 222: A Difference

2011-02-10T01:35:00.000+08:00

Hell yea, I'm different. And proud to be. So get off my back.

A special message for people out there that look at things in black and white. You know who you are.

I'm different. I know. And it's not those "i want to be different from the rest of the world and stand out from the crowd" kinda different.
I'm just not normal, weird if you must put it.

Previously i mentioned about being myself. I didn't change, that's true.
I was acting the way people wanted me to act. It's like a puppet, it has the puppeteer's soul in it, but not it's own. It behaves the way the puppeteer wants it to, and nothing else.

Now, i have cut the strings and i run my own play now. Much like Pinocchio.
So stop seeing things in one perspective. We have each an individual mind, that see things differently from others.
A cliche; some see it half empty, other see it half full.
That's life. So stop trying to make me see it half full when i see it half empty.

I just read a quote from Dr. Seuss.

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

Chapter 221: Realization

2011-02-07T18:54:00.001+08:00

I did not change. Not the slightest.

I'm just being myself. You didn't know that.
I didn't know that.

Now we know this is ME.

Chapter 220: Good Enough

2011-01-25T21:18:00.001+08:00

A warning to people: This is gonna be a relatively emo post i think...

Well anyway, so i'm listening to Evanescence's "Good Enough" while typing this.
I like the song. Though it's about this person loving the other and all that.
Listen to the song (and the lyrics of course) then you'll know.

But to me, the song brings a different meaning.
To me, the song means something like.... an acceptance.
"Am i good enough for this or that" sort of thing.
Really, it's annoying to think like these sometimes, but the doubt is a very sly thing. Creeps up to you with no warning.

What i am trying to say is, i am doubting myself now. Sort of uncertain about things.
(A friend feels like these too before and it sorta annoy me and now i annoy myself)
Moving on, it really sucks to feel like this. Won't go into much detail about stuff. It's the net, it's not private.
And i like my privacy.

Well, i think i'll get better soon. Maybe need someone to talk to? I don't know.
But, there's always some silver lining somewhere. I'll just have to work towards that for now.

P.S : I think this is the end result of listening to too many emo songs....

Chapter 219: Sleep

2011-01-13T03:54:00.000+08:00

Before i retire to my bed. Let's have a short phrase/poem/whatever.
Heard of this from the song Opheliac by Emilie Autumn.
It's from Shakespeare!

Doubt thou, the Starres are fire,
Doubt, that the Sunne doth moue:
Doubt Truth to be a Lier,
But neuerDoubt, I loue.

From Hamlet.

Ok goodnight.

Chapter 218: Thailand Vacation Part 1

2011-01-01T02:58:00.001+08:00

So it's sorta my first time on a plane to some foreign country (other than Singapore, which don't count cause it's almost like Malaysia).

I flew before to somewhere when i was REALLY young.

Had no memory of it though... so this is considered my first time. :D

Ate at Old Town while waiting for the plane.

Moving on, i was kinda excited for the trip... until i was landing in Thailand.

OMG! My ear hurt... the damn pressure.

It wasn't until the second day there that it was relieved.

So for the whole day, i was walking around with some kinda bubble trapped in my ear.

It's really annoying.

On top of that, i was sick. Lost my voice, and had sore throat.

Great way to spend your vacation in another country for the first time huh?

On the first night there, we went to this.. err.. market area. To have some supper i suppose... or was it dinner?

But i didn't eat much though. Not well. T.T

The restaurant/shop thing opposite the hotel. Looks nice.

The place had some nice stuffs. Though we didn't walk around much. Maybe less than a quarter of the place cause some people wanted to go back. *Party pooper*

The entrance to that market area. Not sure the name.

Oh, let's not forget the hotel. The decor was nice. Modern feel to it.

The Heritage Hotel

Seating area of the lobby.

The colour scheme was quite good too. Though it's a little too dark for my taste.

It's good for sleeping in or resting. But for a room where you wanna spend some time alone there... it's kinda creepy.

But it's one of the nicest hotel room i've been in since i can remember. :D

Coming up part 2. I have delayed this long enough. Haha.

Chapter 217: Back from Thailand

2010-12-24T00:58:00.001+08:00

It's been a day and a half since i've returned from my trip to Thailand.

Kinda not in the mood now to blog about the trip.. so would procrastinate it.

Haha.

Will be posting up pics and stuff too. Not all though.

Too lazy to wait for the pics to upload.

P.S: Yes. I am a lazy boy. :D

Chapter 216: I'm Sick

2010-12-15T19:24:00.002+08:00

It sucks being sick.

Sore throat, minor headache, and some flu problem...

Can't even talk now... Dammit.

And today we had a class party, and i can't eat the pizza. NOOOOO!!!!

But on the bright side of things, i can get pampered by it. :D (don't make this a habit)

Of course, i'm not that pampered anyway, so sad...

Oh, i got my wacom already. YAY!

That's like the silver-lining of things. Whee...

Have to thank my aunt and my parents for that. I shall make that as my christmas present this year. :)

Merry Christmas.

Chapter 215: Rain

2010-12-11T23:10:00.002+08:00

"When it rains, it pours."

It's a sad day. And this post has nothing to do with rain, although it had been raining these past few days.

Anyway, it's sad because Ginger, my other dog, have been given back to her owner.

Well, to be completely honest. It's not a sad day for me really.

There wasn't much effect. Serious, not much love loss. I know, it sounds heartless.

Hey, at least I'm honest.

And it rained... again.

Chapter 214: Gift Giving

2010-12-04T22:23:00.002+08:00

The hardest thing about presents is finding one.

Honestly, i never know what to get for people. I just dunno what they want!

Anyway, there'll be some gift giving thing in class, GD Year 2, on (maybe) 17th Dec.

It's a draw kinda gift giving, meaning you draw a number and you get the present with the same number.

Now have to find a gift.... Oh yea, the budget is Rm 5.

Chapter 213: Birthday Illustrations

2010-12-03T02:10:00.003+08:00

This is a little overdue.. but better late than never right?

So i made illustrations for both my friends' bday, Farnaz and Gin Min. Both 21 this year!

Here's what i did;

Jeannie wanted to make a sushi thing for Farnaz on the card.

I made a card for Gin Min... cause well.. i didn't chip in for the gift.

The card was inspired by SteamPunk and freedom (wings)

I hope they like the gifts.

P.S: Happy "Belated" Birthday again guys (if you see this message)

Chapter 212: Horror

2010-12-03T02:02:00.004+08:00

That word gives me the creeps.

And yes.. I am writing this at 2 in the morning when i ought to be sleeping.

Watched on Joseph's laptop some horror vids on YouTube.... Yea. Kinda scary.

I was like freaked out when i was walking back from college and i got kinda scared while bathing too. (Don't dare look into the mirror...)

Well anyway. They're forcing me to watch this documentary/horror movie called "Haunted Changi" or something. No idea. Dun wanna know.

NOOOO!!!!! *shivers violently in a corner*

SAVE ME!!!!

P.S: If you haven't figured it out yet. I have absolutely nothing to write about actually... This is jus me filling up the space.

Chapter 211: Rebel

2010-11-20T12:37:00.003+08:00

So here's the deal. You see many people around wearing piercings (guys i mean).

And you think... these people are gangster types and all that uneducated stuff (just my assumption)... Right?

Why? I mean piercings is just a kind of accessory that we wear.

It's like a necklace and handbag for girls.

This is what i do not really get. Girls get away with wearing pants. But guys would be stared at if he wears some freaking nail polish.

What the hell...?

It's just an accessory thing. Of course the first group of girls that wore pants for purposes like work cause it was easier to move in.

From there they evolved to a fashion garment for them.

Of course you might argue that it's different from wearing nail polish. But then it's a fashion item right? And women made pants into a fashion garment after a period cause they THINK it's fashionable.

If that didn't happen, would women be able to wear pants now? No.

So many people are too narrow-minded about these things. Of course it might be a biased perception cause i like wearing nail polish once in awhile when i feel like it.

So what's wrong with a little nail polish? If it's someone's reputation that's ruined, it's mine.

But anyhow, back to the first thing i said. Piercings. Why not?

"It would look ugly"... Like hell it would. You don't even know! I've not tried it.

People are too narrow-minded. They can't seem to get pass stuffs.

I guess we all are to some extent. But we should try to keep our minds open to opinions!

Like what some always tell me. But they do not practice what they preach.

Chapter 210: Trip to PD

2010-11-16T20:23:00.003+08:00

Went to Port Dickson last weekend.

Dad had a team building thing on there with his company. So we were all forced to go along...

Anyway, stayed at.. err... Avilion Admiral Cove Hotel or something. Not sure how to spell it.

The place was ok... sort of. Not too bad.

But the pool was dirty as hell. Those "adults" were extremely dirty. They went into the pool... with all their clothes on and made the pool water murky... Yuck!

Anyway, mostly stayed in the room... and the driving around trying to find some restaurant.

My dad was mostly out doing his stuff.... He got onto a yacht. I haven't before. I wanna try though.. one day.

It was kinda relaxing. And of course i brought work there to do... No peace.

I thought of some cool ideas there though. So it wasn't wasted.

Sunset Scene

My dad's on that tiny yacht over there.

Chapter 209: Dissatisfaction

2010-10-19T19:26:00.002+08:00

You know, there's a lot of things that i am truly not happy about.

Rather than keeping it bottle in me, i guess i should write it down.

So here it is...

I have no idea why people have to stink so much...

I mean, you have BO... sure and maybe you just played sports.

But some people are naturally smelly... i mean don't you people ever shower?

C'mon man! Please... I am going to die sniffing you people the whole day.

I met two types today... One has a sour-ish smell. (He did not bathe.... i think... =.=)

The other has a smoke smell. Like those cigarette smell. Damn... He must have smoked the whole packet.

Another thing is those demanding people.... I can't stand them.

Especially this woman...(not saying who) She has the nerve to actually order me around...

Wait... she has the rights...

You can't expect me to deal with all these things just like that.

Find some other person! I've done enough for you.

I have a lot more.. But these two are the things from the top of my head now.

When i get more i will start rambling again. :D

Chapter 208: Prom

2010-10-13T23:52:00.002+08:00

Haven't been posting much up for quite awhile.

Prom is getting closer. In about a week left. I still need to prepare my vest.

Aaah.... the stress....

I got my mask already... though the colour is quite ugly and stuff. I would have to re-colour and touch it up soon.

Basically kinda looking forward to prom. For about two reasons.

One, i am one of the people organizing this event. I get to go for free... :D

The second one... concerns a dear friend of mine... hee hee.. *wicked smile appears*

You know what it is (to the one i am talking about) XD

So yea. Busy busy. Need to work on my project too. Must not slack now.

WORK!!!

Chapter 207: Stephanie and Her Pink Manga

2010-09-27T20:11:00.003+08:00

This is something i think only Steph, Jeannie, Jen and I would get it...

If you understand this... well, kudos.

Chapter 206: Year 2 Degree

2010-09-27T18:57:00.002+08:00

Today is the first day of my Year 2.

Well, sort of. It's only like an orientation or briefing, no biggie.

So got our timetable and stuff already.

Will be starting class tomorrow at 9.00 in the morning. =.=

Have to wake up early tomorrow!!! NO!!!

And the first class would be Mr. Arthur's class. Sigh...

And we also have a competition to join. Complete in three days. What the...

Ok, so the competition is my fault... I gave it to Mr. Sean.

But how was i to know he would give it to us? I was thinking that it would only be given to the juniors... Dammit.

Well, anyway, i guess things are quite alright in class. There's a little awkwardness in class though. As expected.

But i think we would get along pretty soon.

Oh, there's about 38 students or something in the class now. Wow.

From 6 to 30+... that's quite an achievement. Haha.

Chapter 205: Wall Street - It made me sleep....

2010-09-22T00:10:00.004+08:00

Ok, so just back from watching the movie, "Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps".

This is so not the type of movie i would go watching, but hey, i don't turn down a free movie pass.

Anyway, while it's still freshly branded into my brain, i would say that it sorta plummeted. Not hitting rock bottom, but still somewhere below the surface of the sea.

Enough with the analogies. The movie was boring to me.

Half of the time i do not know what the heck they were talking about.

Of course, it's about money (DUH! It's on the title...) and the stock market. Trading and buying shares, lies here and there, a little accounting would come in handy and stuff.

And that's the most interesting thing i can write about it. Seriously, i was waiting for it to end.

I think it is more of a movie targeted to business men and those that are into these kinda financial stuffs.

Oh to top it off. I'm really tired from doing stuffs, like, all day today... yesterday.

Anyway, i'll be off to bed now. So... bye bye.

Oh, here's the poster of the movie, just to credit it.

It's a nice approach though.

Chapter 204: Reaching an End

2010-09-19T13:34:00.003+08:00

It was said that all good things would come to an end sooner or later.

I would rather take "later" rather than "sooner".

My break this time, 3 weeks... ok a month. No point deluding myself at this point already.

Anyway, i would really hope that it wouldn't end so soon....

Now there's only a week left before my year 2 starts. AAAAH!!!! STRESS!!!!!

But besides that, i really wanted to rest and do whatever i wanted to do during this holiday... but no such luck. STUDENT COUNCIL has ruined it for me.... had to go college even when i'm on my break... had to stay there til late in the evening at times.

What is this? *mental breakdown*

Ok, summarizing all the crap, year 2 is going to start.

I'm kinda excited really. I wonder who's gonna be our new classmates.. besides our seniors.

Chapter 203: No Holiday

2010-08-23T14:10:00.003+08:00

This is like the suckiest holiday ever...

The first week of holiday, well sort of. And we have been burdened with this shit of a project.

Pardon the rudeness in my language.

But this seriously suck to the max.

I feel like they're putting this in just so that they can make use of they're time in torturing us.

The have to torture us til the end. 4 weeks holiday and we can't enjoy it peacefully....

I feel like dying now....

P.S : Oh, the EMO-NESS...

Chapter 202: Finally

2010-08-22T17:11:00.002+08:00

The end of my Year 1 in Graphic Design approaches.

Finally it's going to end.

Our long awaited holiday has arrived.

But it's only for 3 weeks.. T.T

It's not long enough.

Shaun has 7 months of holiday then he'll be in Australia. Damn...

So long....

Why don't i ever get a holiday that long?

Have nothing to post now... My head is seriously pounding now.... I think i'm falling sick...

I'm rambling now... So bye.

Chapter 201: Toxic in, Toxic Out

2010-07-27T19:26:00.004+08:00

Here's the thing, we're in the age where we are highly dependent on chemicals. Not true?

Think again. All those stuff in your toilet? What are they?

Unless you don't shower...

Anyway, i was browsing through YouTube... err... ok i just clicked on the first thing on the page.

Moving on, i got attracted to the animation-like nature of it. So i decided to watch it.

And it reminded me of Angus' posts (last year) on Sodium Laureth Sulphate and Alina's presentation (Form 5) on it too.

You see, we're swimming in tons of toxic chemicals everyday when we shower... and groom ourselves.

I don't think you would fancy reading huh? Might as well show you.

So tell me? Do you still wanna bathe?

P.S: I still do... Don't make assumptions.

Chapter 200: Random Saying

2010-07-27T02:13:00.001+08:00

To commemorate my 200th post... I'll post a totally random saying...

When life gives you lemon, ask for his manager, you ordered orange....

Chapter 199: Starbucks: The Value

2010-07-21T21:44:00.003+08:00

I am currently sitting down in Starbucks (In Centrepoint) with my headphones on, listening to the song "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" by Nine Days.

Ordered one cup of Iced Chocolate.

Just that, nothing else... And the bill?

RM 11.55

WTF!!!

That much for a cup of chocolate???

This takes robbery to a totally different level. However, I see quite customers here... Willingly throwing their money away like it doesn't matter at all. (No camera ><)

Not only today or at this moment. Even the franchise in 1 Utama is such a hit.

This got me thinking...

Hmmm... What is the attraction?

So there's the drink. What's the deal with it? I mean, it's coffee right? Or some derivative form of caffeine drink. But in the end it's "coffee".

What makes this... cafe's coffee so different from others?

The chocolate i ordered? Well, it's... chocolate-y. I mean it has a strong chocolate taste to it.

Kinda like they melted chocolate and put it in a cup for us.

But it's disgusting.

NO OFFENSE STARBUCKS AND THEIR FANS!

I mean, it's so chocolate-y that i can almost regurgitate my last meal.

I guess that it's not really my cup of tea... or in this case, my cup of chocolate.

I mean seriously, is this culture all that popular with the people now?

If so, then why? I mean, i surely bet it is not because of the taste of the caffeine drinks that is SO rare and distinct that you would travel to the Mojave Dessert for it. (Okay, i got no idea where is that, but the name sounds cool. XD)

Personally, i think Starbucks is overrated.

It just doesn't deserve the credit that we, the people, gave it.

Sure it's good, but not THAT good. It's not really divine, the taste, right?

Your misconceptions and blindness support towards Starbucks has caused this viral infection i like to call "Acute Starbucks Sydnrome" which would be ASS in abbreviation.

So, Starbucks would like to thank everyone for your support in their charity service to themselves.

P.S: Sorry if i offended anyone, i didn't mean to.My words may seem harsh... but i couldn't find another method in expressing this effectively. Starbucks isn't that bad. It's up to you to participate in this charity. But, i strongly feel that it's too highly placed.

Chapter 198: Changed

2010-07-13T19:31:00.002+08:00

I changed it. :D

Ok... i got no idea why i am posting bout this little things.

Chapter 197: Dissatisfaction

2010-07-13T19:28:00.001+08:00

OK... I really hate my blog template... =.=

Chapter 196: Walking on the Sun

2010-07-04T23:49:00.003+08:00

Somehow, i'm kinda hook onto Smash Mouth's songs... together with Sugar Ray's too.

Currently listening to "Walking on the Sun" by Smash Mouth.

They're good. Both bands. Sadly there's none playing in the radio nowadays... except for Sugar Ray's "Every Morning".

Anyway, today is kinda... slow. The weather was so damn nice.

I slept til 3. Haha.

That's late, i know.

I noticed that i am wandering (not literally) aimlessly nowadays.

I wonder why is that... Yes, i have my stuff to do... but there's just no mood to it.

Maybe it's because of the weather... or it's because of the Student Council. Or maybe it's because i am only at the planning stage of the animation project.

Whatever it is, i need to get my act together. Can't be failing.

I wanna do more illustrations. :D

Oh yea, i have to upload the gifts i made for Peck Yee and Hui Yann here.

I'll do that another time....

Chapter 195: Animation

2010-07-04T23:37:00.002+08:00

Currently an animation project has been thrown our way.

But stop motion is not really an option... is it? I was thinking of using a new medium to do the animation because i did the stop motion video prior to this.

Well, anyway, i am learning Maya now.

Let me tell you this, it's not easy.

Of course i knew it won't be easy. If it was easy, where's the fun in that, right?

Anyway, i managed to build the SHAPE of my model up. Of course this is for experimentation purpose only.

I have another option, that is to use flash. You Liang (my partner in this project) knows how to use it already. So i can just learn from him.

But then i really wanna learn After Effects cause you can do really neat effects in it.

Still dunno how to do it yet though....

Oh and speaking of animation. I have another animation that i need to do too.

For Prom.

Ok, well i could have given it to the other members (tech team) to do it. But... they said it was hard to do and... i forgot the rest.

But the point is, i really think we should continue with the idea. I mean, not many does this form of promotional video... for prom anyway.

I really find shit to smear on myself don't i?

So that's about it. Two animations at a time. Cool.

Challenging, i like that.

Chapter 194: Projects

2010-06-08T19:09:00.003+08:00

So, i've done with my projects.

Now there is this new project on Illustrations.

Besides that, there is the essay... How i hate the essay. T.T

But i guess things are going well.

(Haven't been blogging cause was busy)

Oh, i bought a nice book today. "The Art of Darkwatch"

It's a game, Steph said. Didn't know about the game until today. Haha.

But anyway, the latest project that i really like is the "Jeannie in Underland" project.

We are putting in our friends as characters in the "Alice in Wonderland" story.

Of course, we're not following the plot. Just the places that they go and the characters and theme for it. Currently doing the illustrations for the characters. So...

Would get it ready by... Lol.. I'll let you know when that time comes. Haha.

Chapter 193: Agonizing

2010-05-15T14:23:00.002+08:00

I seriously have no privacy now...
My father knows about my blog, so it's always filtered (damn... not that i do anything on it), he is also added into my facebook... That really nails things. And now he has my e-mail password... So he is going through all my mail....

AAAAAHHHHH!!! I've got no privacy at all. Yeesh...

Chapter 192: Rethink

2010-05-13T16:35:00.003+08:00

This "Chapter" things at the beginning of my every post is getting a little annoying.

What with my habit of forgetting things.

But that's not the point of this post.

Gee, my hands are cold... It's hard for me to type this post even... @.@

Oh, about that. I am typing this post in college.

Why? My internet connection at home died... So i have no choice but to do this in college.

Annoying isn't it?

Anyway, listening to "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree" while doing this.

(DAMN! It's hard to type.)

So anyway, my "break" is going away slowly... gonna start college soon.

I think i should RETHINK (aha! the main topic) my efforts in completing ALL the assignments before Monday.

NOOO!!

Quite impossible, but one must not be negative.

So anyway, i think i have decided on the theme for my Project 3... (><)

I think i should do Puppetry as my theme. Cool huh?

Ok. I better stop typing i am getting so irritated by this that i wanna throw my Mac out of the window.

Chapter 191: Going Green: Is it really the Green Thing?

2010-05-08T22:26:00.001+08:00

So i have this random thought about things.
Have any of you thought of being a vegetarian because you want to Go Green or something?
Well.. here's what i thought about. Basically eating less meat and more greens is good.
It's healthier for you obviously, but it would most definitely cause the Earth to be less green.

Think about it. You go through all the trouble in recycling and all that.
But then when you turn vegetarian for this reason, you're actually unbalancing the ecosystem.

You see, you clear large areas of land to grow crops. And obviously it is impossible for us to be using some land in the city due to the infertility of the land.
So you're basically clearing huge areas of forest or something for the crops. And you're going to be eating more greens compared to meat.
I mean vegetables do not fill you up as much as meat does.

And when you plant your crops there, it is impossible to keep using that spot for your plantations.
After several cycles, the land would not be suitable for growing crops anymore.

Of course, people might argue that if we continue eating meat, we would surely cause the extinction of a certain species of animals.
For example, the dodo birds. Hunted to extinction by seafarers in the... err... some century.

Other than that, you might also argue that the usage of fertilizers would surely help in keeping the grounds flat.

But this is what i think. Of course i am open to opinions and such.
Just my thoughts on this matter. Not saying you shouldn't be a vegetarian, but you should be a vegetarian not solely based on the reason of trying to Go Green.

Chapter 190: KL Design Week

2010-05-08T15:04:00.004+08:00

This is my first time to the KL Design Week. And the 2nd time it was launched in Malaysia.

According to my seniors this year had less participants than last year....

For this trip, the people that went were me, Jeannie, Stephanie and Jen.
Well anyway, we visited Capsquare on Wednesday and NAG + Petronas Gallery on Friday.
Capsquare had many interesting things.
Works from local designers. They sold stuff there. It was all really cool.
There was this designer, Nana Pong, she did really neat stuff. Bunnies, bats (cube origami, dunno what is the proper term for it XD), badges, pouches, etc.
Love her work. I bought two badges. One for Zaaina, since she couldn't make it, and one for my brother.

Then i also bought a little something for myself. XD
I bought a plush toy. Haha. I know i can make one, but i couldn't resist. It's a designer item. So yea.

Anyway i saw my character design work there. :D And also my Cut Out entries.
And Ken's journal was there... and so was Yong Hong's artwork for fashion drawing.

For the trip to NAG and Petronas Gallery, there isn't much pictures...
Cause they didn't allow us to take. Hmph.
The gang this time was me, Farnaz, jeannie, Stephanie, You Liang, Zaaina and Jen.
For this trip, Jeannie's friend, Ho came along.
He was kinda quiet the whole trip... I guess cause he wasn't really used to us.
Anyway, the trip was kinda fun i guess...

Lots of stuff to see. Like the exhibit in NAG.
The ones at Petronas... was kinda scarce.. except the Windcatcher thing which was interactive. So cool.
When Farnaz and Jen blew.. the thing was a flower...
Then when Steph and i blew... it was.... a.... round thing...
Steph called it boobies... =.=
It made me laugh til i couldn't blow it...

Anyway, there were film there. It was fun and entertaining.
Loved the part where "Jen" (we only called the character Jen, she's not really Jen) jumped off the swing and got blown.. then fell splat onto the ground in front of "me" (we called that character me, cause... yea same story). Haha.
You wouldn't understand this unless you saw it.

It was fun. But i got a headache at the end of the day.. i think it was cause by that Miss Blood berry animation... @.@

Had fun and opened up our minds. That was the point of this trip.
Hope to have another outing like this. XD

Chapter 189: Latest works.

2010-05-05T00:39:00.002+08:00

Ok so here's the thing. I have recently worked on two projects.

Personal ones i might add. Somehow, my personal projects are way better than my college work...

Strange... I must have more passion into my college work!

*Determination!*

So here's the desktop layout i did for the Student Council... Ok i do not think it is ethical to place this up here... Maybe, maybe not.

But since it's rejected. So i can do whatever i like to it.

It's based on some gossip theme thing. Cause prom is coming up in October and all that. So i thought of gaining some hype from the students.

My idea is making it seem like some gossip spreading and all that.

Had my inspiration from "Bla Bla Bla" by Kesha. Hate the song.

I did it all in Illustrator. :)

I must say it. I am so proud of myself. Haha.

I must say. It's a good illustration thing. But not a good poster.

Back to the drawing board. But have to do my college work first.

Lagging behind at the moment.

Sorry, Mr Arthur, Miss Safinas. XD

So here it is. (Of course i still love my poster more :D)

My other project is Stephanie's gift. :D

Ok so you all should know by now of my obsession with dolls.

What can i say? I love sewing and stuff.

You know what... i might consider fashion design... Hmmm...

Just joking.

So anyway. This doll was done in about... 2 hours plus. ;D

I sew fast. Haha.

Well, the result was actually quite good, though there were some faults.

I must say. This is my favourite doll. He's Caleb Jr.

Modeled after Caleb Hydra from Fireal. Steph's idol.

And Steph has a liking towards all things hand made like crafts. So why not dolls?

She would appreciate them... i know if i gave this to per se...some one else (lol)? It wouldn't be appreciated as much.

As it is... Gregory is lying somewhere on my bedside table.... Often thrown around. XD

Ok, going off topic now.

Anyway this is Caleb Jr. Say hi to him.

Dun mind the half done state i took of him.

I loved him so much i couldn't resist taking a shot of him before he was done.

But sadly i was too tired to take another photo of him after he was done.

I would take the photo from Jen. XD

So on a totally random note.

I am wearing black nail polish. XD

Goth day. Anyway, there was some guy over at my place.

So i had to sign something. The guy saw my nails.... and...

My parents were laughing at it. Haha. It was fun. :D

Wonder what the guy thought of... Hmmm....

Obviously, i am not some lost drug junkie... If you read this...err... man... I am actually a "good" boy. Haha.

Chapter 188: Sick of IT!

2010-05-05T00:36:00.001+08:00

I am so sick and tired of trying to upload the photos onto my blog.

After numerous attempts in uploading the photos... i failed in doing so.

From now on, go look at the photos from my Facebook...

When i can upload the photos again... I would upload it here.

Til then, check my Facebook.

P.S: I doubt people would read anyway...

Chapter 187: My Bro's Birthday

2010-04-26T00:41:00.002+08:00

So yesterday, on the 25th was my brother's birthday.

Ok this post won't be long.

It's just to commemorate the event in the event that i forgot to upload the photos of the party and such.

So yea.

Busy busy.

*Warner Bros. Theme song*

T-T-T-T-That's all folks!

Chapter 186: World Graphic Deisgn

2010-04-23T23:39:00.002+08:00

So tomorrow, or in exactly 20 minutes time(when i am writing this)...

Would be the day of the World Graphic Design thing in college.

Did a poster in like... a week. That's quite fast.

And to be honest, even though it wasn't selected as the top 20. I am still proud of it. Very proud.

So, like a proud parent showing of his kids, here's my poster.

Chapter 185: Brain Damage

2010-04-15T23:48:00.003+08:00

No, i don't have some brain problem... I think.

Haha.

Anyway, this is concerning my latest project, due on the 21st of April.

A poster. For some event held in college.

Another project.... *sigh*

Anyway, the theme is "The Value of Graphic Design".

Well. Simple enough i guess...

But WAIT!

What's this in the box? Oh, it's another theme....

Sub theme: "Recycling"

Oh shoot. How am i going to relate these two.

*Smash head onto the keyboard*

Chapter 184: Typo Project One

2010-04-14T23:13:00.003+08:00

Term 2 starts. And we have a one week typo project + an additional bonus 1 and half month project.

So for the first typo project, we need to create 3 designs based on our initials, relating to something that represents us.

And another three based on the words given based on their meaning.

I like my works... ^^

Hope that you like it too.

This is the first time since my first project that i am sort of proud of what i've done...

*Applause*

Chapter 183: Long Postponed

2010-04-14T17:58:00.003+08:00

Sorry. This post was long postponed from it's original date. Haha.

This is a post to show you guys my favourite doll.. not to be biased or anything.

It's my first doll that was well made.

I LOVE HER. *Hearts*

Anyway, her name is February. And here she is.

The braid was done by Peck Yee. ^^

Chapter 182: Bowling Outing

2010-04-10T15:18:00.003+08:00

On Friday there wasn't any class in the morning.

So we decided to go bowling on that day.

Four of us, me, Jeannie, Stephanie and Zaaina plus one.

The extra person is Jonathan Chin.

So we went over to 1u for a game of bowling.

It was fun when you're playing with friends like them.

Lol. It was damn funny what we did there. I think we were the loudest there..

Of course, there were only like 3 lanes open.. Lol.

It's in the morning what do you expect?

After that, went to Sushi Zanmai to eat.

Jonathan and I were so unlucky.

What we ordered were like SO SMALL....

And it costs like RM 10... Jon's was RM 8+

They were skinning us alive!

Christy and Jonathan Wong joined us later on.

Lol. All three Jonathans were sitting together in a row.

Then of course, went back to college...

Had class with Pn. Safinas. Illustrator workshop...

Chapter 181: New Place

2010-04-09T17:11:00.002+08:00

I am posting this post in CentrePoint.

In this cafe called The Straits Cafe. Haven't eaten here before. First time.

My dad "ta pau-ing" food here. So had to wait for the food.

Didn't know could go online here.

My battery is almost flat... Dang...

12% left. Haha. Must type fast and post before the food comes.

Til next post.

Signed, sealed, delivered.

Chapter 180: You Said It But Never Meant It

2010-04-06T00:13:00.006+08:00

Pondering on this fact for awhile now. How can i ever forget everything we had before?

Time stood still when it was just us. Together.

It was like nothing mattered. When you said those words.

I felt, relieved. Nothing felt better than that.

I was for the first time, truly happy.

It was better than finding out i scored relatively well for my SPM.

Didn't know that i could feel better than how i felt after i got an acceptance to participate an interview for the scholarship.

All those years when i felt i was alone, never understood. It all seemed worth it somehow.

It led me to you.

How joyful it was my time with you.

Even though it was for a short period of time, i felt like i have known you my whole life.

Things just don't get any better.

I could just lie here. With my last breathe on my lips, and there is not a thing i would regret.

But you had to change everything. You had to make me realize i was a fool.

A fool to believe in fairytales and "Happy ever after"s.

A fool to think that i actually mattered.

It was bliss, the spell you casted on me. It gave me my heart's desires.

And how cruel fate is to pull us apart and carve out the chuck of my heart you held.

Time heals everything... Does it?

You tell me? Does it, my heart, still beat in your blood crusted hands?

Does your heart resonate to the sound of mine like it used to?

You left.

There's no words that i can use that would make it easier or less painful.

Sometimes the truth hurts. But the lies would hurt more.

YOUR LIES HURT ME IN WAYS NONE HAVE HURT BEFORE.

You said it would be fine. You lied.

You said we'll be together. You LIED.

You said nothing is going to change no matter what. LIES!

Now without a word. You just drift apart.

Leaving me with the festering hole in my chest from where you took the thing that mattered most to me.

I am leaving you a note. Because telling you is just too much.

I am not asking you to return to where we were before.

My heart, in your hands, died.

So i bid you adieu.

I hope you get what you want now.

You did before....

Chapter 179: It's Hilarious I Tell You...

2010-04-03T18:43:00.002+08:00

Ok so here it is.

Yesterday, Farnaz, Jeannie, Steph and I stayed back after out submission to do out inDesign work.

So we were going along quite well. Finishing up our photoshop work...

The Lichtenstein thing. (too lazy to explain about it)

Then this happened. We were supposed to like print screen to get images for the inDesign work we were doing.

We were supposed to do some Photoshop notes thing.

But... we did't know how...

Ok, before you jump to any conclusions. Here is the thing. We were in the Macintosh lab.

So we didn't know how to print screen Mac... didn't even know they had one.

Then moved to the Windows one. They had the print screen thing on it.

Ok cool. *PRESS* Nothing happened... *PRESS AGAIN* Nothing...

SPAM!!!

So we decided to consult Mr. Hafiz but realized he didn't come... Then we went to see Mr. Sean but he had a presentation....

So we wandered to Mr. Adi.

Thank god he told us how to... You have to press print screen then Ctrl + C then paste it to where ever you want.

So we went back to the Mac lab to try out on the Mac see whether it works...

It didn't.... We were deflated. Our moment of euphoria dissipated.

Then it hit us... Ok, it came to Steph...

Use the internet to see how they print screen on Mac...

OMG! It was so obvious and right in front of our faces...

We didn't even realize it... LOL.

Spent the past hour trying to discover it... But we could only like took a few minutes to get the answer...

I feel so.... stupid... @.@

It's Command + Shift + 3....

Chapter 178: This is the Last Straw

2010-03-30T09:37:00.001+08:00

You know what? I give up. I can't get the photos to be uploaded here.
Dang...

Never mind. You can see the pictures in Facebook.
I uploaded them there already... like ages ago.

Chapter 177: Frustration

2010-03-27T23:00:00.004+08:00

So here's the thing. I have been trying to upload the photos for our trip to Rimbun Dahan for like... the past week or something.

And it ALWAYS failed.

I am so fed up of it now. Must be the internet connection problem...

Shoot!! I wanna give up trying to load the photos... But i can't disappoint you people right?

And besides that, i am kinda peeved at another problem... this one is something a little bit more... solid and... organic.

Not gonna say what. Keep guessing. Ken, not a word. I'll slice you up and feed you to Milky.

Well, testing to see if i can post a pic up...

Here goes nothing...

Well, it worked... Hopefully i can upload my Rimbun Dahan photos.

Chapter 176: Rimbun Dahan

2010-03-14T22:47:00.003+08:00

I mentioned about out trip to Rimbun Dahan in the previous post.
As promised. I am creating a post specially for it.
This shows how important this trip is. Plus, it's like a publicity thing.
You guys should pay me!

Jokes aside, this trip was... enlightening.
Seriously. I learned quite a lot from this trip.
About the plants found in Malaysia or to be more accurate, in South East Asia.
Though a handful of plants i knew about already. There are some that i didn't know about.
I kinda forgot the name... heh heh. Sorry Mr. Sean.

I know that the bark of the Ipoh tree is venomous.
I also know that there is this creeper plant that can be chewed for some purpose... i think to relieve migraine or something.

Enough of science lesson. The trip was fun. Sort of.
We saw an actual kampung house. Brought here from Perak i think.
Being able to see one up close that isn't in a state of deterioration and with functioning stuff inside is new to me.
The one in the National Museum was hot and had musty smell...

Besides that, they had a gallery there.
The artists of those artworks stayed there, at Rimbun Dahan, and produced those artworks.
They were nice. I find them better than most of the artworks i saw in the National Art Gallery last time...

Oh and before i forget. I saw the most beautiful things.
Vintage cars!
WOW! They were SO nice.
I couldn't believe my eyes. There were so many of them too.

Well, i really enjoyed the trip.. although it was kinda hot, I sweated like shit.

Chapter 175: Cramming Things

2010-03-11T20:09:00.002+08:00

Lately, things have been moving slowly.
Basically, it's just work work work.... and more work.
Nothing much happened... Well, there were the occasional fun stuffs...
But i doubt it's that memorable. I've forgotten the details about them already.
Anyway, i am cramming things into one post today.

Currently, i have my music player on, playing "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" by The Script.
And my mom is watching American Idol...
It's sort of distracting me from my thoughts....
I guess i could turn off the music player... but i have no clue why i didn't

Going back to the past, there was this trip to Rimbun Dahan yesterday.
A class trip... with the seniors. Ugh! I dreaded it.
However, they're our seniors AND will be in our class soon...
Well, it's the inevitable. So, no choice.
I'll dedicate a post for Rimbun Dahan after i have the photos uplaoded into the com.

Before that, we had "Go Goth Day" on Monday. It's the second time we went Goth.
The first "Go Goth Day" was very simple. We wore full black.
But on the first time, Jeannie didn't wear full black. Traitor!
Farnaz didn't wear black at all on both the days.... She didn't have black clothing.
Talk about a nightmare, no black clothes... Stephanie's Nightmare!
Back to topic. The second time... we wore full black... plus eyeliner.
O.O
It was the first time ever i wore make up. I'm not going to put make up again.
Let me tell you something. It is hard!
Zaaina put it on for me. My eyes were tearing when she put it on... Damn.
Don't want to repeat the experience again.
Pictures are in Facebook. I don't wanna post it up here.
Too much exposure... X_X

Besides that... I guess there's nothing else that happened.
Oh, watched Alice in Wonderland today.
Good but not to what i expected of it.
I'll reserve another post for it.

Chapter 174: Reunion

2010-03-07T01:47:00.004+08:00

My computer conked out a few days ago.
I was spiraling into despair.
The HORROR!!

Anyway, finally it's up.
I am finally reunited with my love...

Enough of drama. My point is that the com is fixed and i'm happy.
Deal with it, all the sadistic people that would be more than happy to see me suffering.
That means you, Ken.

Anyway, hope it doesn't crash again. X_X

Chapter 173: Go Goth Monday!!

2010-03-03T01:22:00.001+08:00

So we just had this impromptu notion to dress Goth for one day.
It was actually from Steph's idea, it was a joke actually.

But it seemed kinda fun. Hence, "Go Goth Monday".

Too bad only three of us went full Goth.
Jeannie!! You traitor!
Only me, Stephanie and Zaaina were in full black that day.

Sorry no photos. Forgot to take. XD
Hopefully we remember the next time we have "Go Goth Monday".

Chapter 172: After Holiday

2010-02-22T21:35:00.002+08:00

After the holidays end, class start like normal.

Miss Husna was sick today. So the other GD students had a day off.

But... i think i'm still in Holiday Mode. (Mr. Sean would kill me)
So... kinda lazy... Haha.

Anyway, the first day and Miss Jinchi already dropped a bombed on us.
But i am not supposed to say anything bout it... yet.
So anticipate people!!

Chapter 171: CNY Weather

2010-02-15T18:57:00.002+08:00

Chapter 169: Jogoya Birthday Bash

2010-02-09T18:30:00.004+08:00

So for my 19th birthday, i celebrated it in Jogoya.
No, seriously.

Ok fine, i didn't tell the whole story.
It was indeed on my birthday that i went Jogoya to celebrate a birthday and mine was celebrated there.
But my birthday there was the side event.
The real purpose was for Carmen's birthday.

Ironic isn't it?
Celebrating someone else's birthday and working so hard on her present ON my birthday.
It's quite funny when you come to think of it.
Lol.

Well anyway, went Jogoya.
Celebrated Carmen's birthday.
Honestly speaking, i've got no idea what the big deal is.
The food there wasn't that good and well... it's too expensive for that kind of stuff.
Oh yea, the layout for the place wasn't that good.
I mean customer-friendly.

Well, anyway, it was a nice experience.
And i got a souvenir. A nice water-droplet shaped bowl.
Hee hee.

Well, pictures are in Facebook. Lazy to put them here.
If you know my blog, most likely you'll have my Facebook. So knock yourself out.

Chapter 168: "Tattoo-ing"

2010-02-06T23:10:00.003+08:00

Ken has got a tattoo...

Not really, no.
It's just henna. (i THINK that's how you would spell it.)

Carmen bought this henna tube.
So she was going around asking people whether they wanted it...
Ken wanted one so she did it for him.

I took some pics. Hee hee.
I am SO evil.

Owh... he looks so happy...
Hahahaha!!

Chapter 167: Samsung Corby Contest

2010-01-28T23:06:00.001+08:00

All first year students in Graphic Design had to enter the Samsung Corby Contest thing.
It's compulsory...

It's a contest to design a phone jacket for that particular model of phone...
I forgot the model.
But anyway, i did it and to tell you the truth, i am quite satisfied if not happy with it.

The design was based on 'LIFE'.
I feel kinda lazy to explain it...
It's gonna be boring anyway.

I want the RM 3,000!!!

Chapter 166: First Project in Degree

2010-01-22T14:41:00.004+08:00

So, i'm in degree now... Yea. So fast time passes.
And... I already finished my first project.
It's a one week project.
So you can imagine how we nee to rush it.

So, my theme for this project is risk.
And by risk i decided to create an insurance company.

So Guardian Angel Insurance was born.
I decided to do a magazine ad for it.
And i do find it quite satisfying.

Here are the advertisements.

I would like to thank Ken for modeling for me.
So yea, thank you.

P.S: I just noticed. I have a lot of 'So's in my post.

Yea. So you know i am a member of the Student Council.
Well. I met people. Newbies if you will.

So yea. Well. The new batch i guess are quite... lively.
Lol. More so than my previous orientation group.

Anyway, so i met a few. Some of them my juniors' juniors' juniors.
Quite a mouthful yea?

There are new students in my class too.
I took Graphic Design for my degree. ^^
The new classmates were all international students.
2 from China and 2 from Iran.
Talk about couples... lol.

The two China dudes are guys (the dudes.. obviously). The Iranians well, one male one female.
They seem friendly enough. I haven't talked to the Iranian guy yet...
But... Steph and Zaaina and Jeannie... they were not impressed.

Well, tomorrow i'll see.

Chapter 164: First Day of Degree

2010-01-06T17:15:00.003+08:00

So, it's the first day of my degree year.
Well, it doesn't officially start til next monday.. but yea.

So anyway, now i am stuck with the orientation with my seniors.
Ok it's not so bad i guess.
My seniors, in the group i am in, are doing sketchbooks to sell.

And i had to help them to do stuff.
Tomorrow and Friday. 9 to 5.

I feel so lazy....
Oh and there are only like 7 people in GD.
Small class.
Well, that's good i think.

Looking forward to things.

Chapter 162: I Want....

2010-01-02T22:09:00.003+08:00

I want a friend that would say, "You SUCK!", when i do.
And pats me on the back when i don't.

Happy New Year!!

P.S: I know it's a day late. But better late than never.... right?

Chapter 161: Major Crisis!

2009-12-31T01:49:00.003+08:00

Ok... so today... or to be more precise yesterday, went over to see the da Vinci exhibition.

Was ok... kinda interesting. But i am not sure whether RM 25 was worth it.
Anyway, no pictures. Didn't have any camera.

Back to the REAL topic of this post.

Well, more accurately this is directed to a certain.... someone.
So got back, went 1u ate lunch, bla bla bla.

Then got back. Lent Ken my Hunger Games.

Then.... he left the book on the roof of his car and drove off.
So the book fell off and onto the road.

The damage.... *faints*
Ok, so maybe it wasn't so bad... still...

But look on the bright side, i recovered my book.
And it fell somewhere near. So yea...

P.S: Ken, if you ever read this post, and think about your guilt. Chill. It's alright. I might be a little ticked off. But i'll get over it. So chill.

Chapter 160: Com Problem

2009-12-21T23:54:00.000+08:00

My com crashed this last two days.
Finally it's up and running again.

I nearly died!

Thank goodness.

Chapter 159: Reminiscence

2009-12-10T23:53:00.003+08:00

So, i just watched Barney.... My bro was flipping through the channels...
Then he stopped by that show. Lol.

I was like... OMG!!
It was like... So KIDDY.

They were like. "Where are we going to find a ship?" the children said.
"Maybe if we use our imagination, we could hear the ship," Barney said.
*Ships horn blared*
"Did you hear that?" the kids said. "But where is the ship?"
Then Barney said, "There it is." He stomped on the floor.
And some playground thing magically transformed into a ship....

Then i stopped watching. Lol.
I was like.... WTF?!

Oh, by the way, the Barney person changed. He sounded different from the old Barney.
Maybe the old Barney got a promotion and went to Sesame Streets. XD

Chapter 158: Ms Yvonne's and Ms Guat Ling's Artworks

2009-12-10T17:42:00.002+08:00

Today, after our feedback, all of us went to look at Miss Yvonne's and Miss Guat Ling's artworks.
It was all the way in Desa Sri Hartamas.
It wasn't planned for, so i forgot to take my camera along. T.T

Went there, but got lost. Didn't know where the place was at first.
Then had to call Miss Yvonne. XD
But when we found the place.... The person was not there.
Had to wait.

When we finally entered the gallery.... We looked at the paintings.
But we played and goof around more than we actually look at the paintings.
It was like our playground. Lol.
We took many photos there and explored the whole area.
I guess we're not supposed to do that....
But.... we couldn't help it. Hee hee..

After that, we went over to Stephanie's place.
It was like a resort.
So damn nice.
It's like we're going there for a vacation...
I can't describe it. Must see it by yourself.
Wait. I'll take pics from Sheryl.

It was so damn tiring....=.=
But it was fun.

Chapter 157: Shrunken Head

2009-12-09T00:52:00.007+08:00

So here is my latest product.
A shrunken head.
Kinda simple really.
But i just wanted to test out something.

Anyway, this one is called William the White.
Because it is White.
Plan to make two more heads.

One is Bentham the Black. Got the name from Moral Studies. Jeremy Bentham. ><
And the other is Raymond the Red.

P.S: So how is it William? XD

Chapter 156: A Doll Named Charlotte

2009-12-09T00:34:00.003+08:00

Here's Charlotte.
I made her the night before the Pink Bazaar.
Sorry for posting it up so late. Was busy before.

So now to explain a little on Charlotte.
Well, she's my third doll. I made Alan and Brenda.

Alan is Away. To be exact with a friend.
Brenda is in a Box. It's for my project.

See how they correspond with their situation? Hee hee. It's by coincidence of course.
So here's Charlotte.
Charlotte is with the Cookies in the Pink Bazaar. Now she's on the Christmas tree. ^^
Her colours fit Christmas too. It's fated. Haha

Ta-da. Very Christmas-y. Lol.

Chapter 155: End Of Semester 3

2009-12-08T22:17:00.003+08:00

So... semester 3 is finally over and done with.
Just need to complete my presentation board and i am free. ^^

And speaking of freedom, i can work on my dolls now. Yipee!

Chapter 152: Dream

2009-11-19T22:56:00.002+08:00

I had a dream. You can tell obviously from the title.

This dream was like damn weird.
I mean i dreamed that i was in college. In the studio.

It was Miss Karen's class (my project class).
We were doing one of the task for my final project.
So we were all doing models.
Both Interior Architecture and Design, and Graphic Design.
We were doing some space design for displaying the products, for us GD-ers.
I got no idea why.... So we were designing and stuff... like normal class.

That's not the weird part though.
When i woke up... i wanted to sketch out my design i got from my dream...
In case i forget.
Then i realised... I don't have this task that i dreamed about...
=.=

So... i came to the conclusion... i worked too hard.
Work-a-holic. Lol.

Chapter 151: Late Night Project

2009-11-13T23:30:00.002+08:00

Pink Bazaar is tomorrow.
Have to be up early...
So i need to sleep now.

But i have a... self appointed project.
Deadline... tomorrow.
Well, it's actually for my mom.

A doll to display while she sells her cookies.
Hee hee.
She doesn't know it yet.

Will post it up when i am done.
This is the most complex doll i have done so far.
And yet it is quite simple.
Lol

Chapter 150: Latest Drawing Project

2009-11-08T22:29:00.004+08:00

The new drawing project. I am pretty sure that i have explained it already.
Choose a specific theme.
Then produce one entry per day.

So far, i think it's going on quite well... i mean, i still have ideas for it.
Here are the few i did.

Inspiration from Mr. Hafez

Each of them has a caption and begins with "What if..."
But i'm too lazy to write it down. So just ignore it for the moment. XD

Chapter 149: Not For Ken's Eyes

2009-11-08T17:42:00.003+08:00

So i just finished reading The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
The sequel to Hunger Games.

Well... it's kinda... plain i guess.
After the first book, with all its action, suspense thing.
This second book is far more mellow compared to the first book.

Well, it's more about political stuffs... rebellions... and all that.
So yea. But it is STILL interesting.

SPOILER!!!
It hasn't end yet sadly.
Has got a third book coming out.
Can't WAIT!! ^^

Chapter 148: Dolls

2009-11-07T13:52:00.002+08:00

Currently i have this obsession with dolls.
Making them to be more specific.
And to be even MORE specific, voodoo dolls.

So have been experimenting on dolls... two actually...
But, so i got hooked on the idea.

I was surfing the web for doll making guides and such...
Until i stumbled along this site.

Black Eyed Suzie... not sure whether you guys know bout it or not.
It's a site with, well, dolls.

So here's the link: http://blackeyedsuzie.typepad.com

I really like the style of the doll.
Although it is kinda depressing....

Chapter 147: Busy Busy

2009-11-04T18:32:00.001+08:00

So... i'm here, writing my blog...
I'm actually supposed to be working...
But i just feel like slacking off for a minute or two...

Yea, you know how it feels rite?
Anyway, preparing to do a sketchbook. Specially for someone.

Just need to sew it together... get the cover ready... and walah!
So friends of mine, wait for the result.

And thanks to Miss Yvonne for teaching me how to book bind. ^^

Chapter 146: Tie and Dye

2009-11-02T23:45:00.003+08:00

Well, in writing it's not so hilarious.
But when spoken aloud it is.

I dun have to explain it, it would be boring to do so.
Anyway, so we learn how to tie and dye today.
Nice. Except that the colours stayed on your hands for some time.
Mine is still green.

It was a nice activity fun.
I dun think i will be posting my work here.
It's kinda.... strange....
Let your imagination run wild.

So, yea. Very fun but very messy.
What in arts isn't messy?

Chapter 145: New Drawing Project

2009-10-27T22:55:00.001+08:00

So i just finished my Drawing Journal on Monday.
And we received our new task.

We are required to produce a sketchbook of minimum 30 entries.
All illustrations inside are based on our own style of drawing and it's based on a theme we like.
Kinda fun... Though we have to do one illustration a day....
But i'm not complaining.

Just did one. Today. Recently.
I liked how it turned out... so it seems to be quite bright.
I can't wait to see the overall result of it. ^^

Chapter 144: Pink Bazaar

2009-10-25T22:17:00.003+08:00

So KBU is having a bazaar for Breast Cancer.
I think that you(students of KBU) would already know.

To those who don't, here's the deal.
KBU Student Council is organizing an event called the Pink Bazaar.
This bazaar is held to raise money for the breast cancer. It's a charity event for short.

So the tickets sales are already in progress.
There would be two booklets, one would be a booklet worth RM 10 and another is worth RM 50.
Why is there a RM 50 booklet?
Well, we have some pretty costly stuffs there.
Bear in mind, not all are expensive and this is for a good cause.

For more info on the event or if you want to participate, contact me via e-mail.
My e-mail : lamkinweng@hotmail.com

For more info, pls check out the KBU Student Council blog.

Chapter 143: Thinking

2009-10-21T23:22:00.002+08:00

Hmm... I just noticed...
Something is wrong with my blogging prowess.
I wonder what...

Of course, i am just dragging it... a bit.
I already know what it is.

If you look carefully.
You would notice that the amount of posts per month has decreased.
Yeah... Sadly so.
So i have to crap more often and post up more posts.

Chapter 142: My Journal

2009-10-21T22:51:00.003+08:00

So here is my first Drawing Class project from Miss Yvonne.
It is a journal.
Collect pictures paste inside, there you have it.
A journal.

Of course it's easier said than done.
However... It IS done.
By YOURS TRULY. *Ahem*

So here are the snapshots (a few) of the journal.
But i am not 100% done yet.
Needs a little.... final touches.

The cover.

Behind the cover... you're supposed to be able to see the words... but nvm.

Here's what it is.

The inside.

Open up... Ta da!

Need to silk screen the book title... then i'm done.
And i still have til Monday to complete it. Yay!
More free time... lol
A wish... Still have loads of stuff to do.

Chapter 141: Back Early

2009-10-20T12:58:00.003+08:00

Ok, i am home early, but i am online blogging.
Hmm... not a good step. Lol.

Anyway, just wanna say.

There is a Leonardo da Vinci exhibition in the Pusat Sains Negara.
Or should i say the National Science Centre.

The admission for the thing is RM25.
It was supposed to be in Singapore... but i dunno what happened, it came here.

So here it is. Take the opportunity, look at it.
It's a good experience for all.

Chapter 140: National Art Gallery Again

2009-10-15T19:23:00.002+08:00

Today went to the National Art Gallery.
We went to see the Cuban and Croatian art exhibition there.
It was sort of interesting to see the artworks...
But, honestly, i don't understand most of them.

Some of the works are nice.
The Ground level exhibition, was colourful.
I really liked the way the artist painted the glowing, light effect.
I wanna learn to paint that way.

Anyway, the Croatian art was kinda... odd.
I can't understand they're paintings. And the paintings were also VERY simple.

The Cuban art was a little more interesting.

All in all, it was kinda fun to see the artworks from a third world country.

P.S: I know i broke my rule in saying i won't blog or facebook anymore.... but yea.... SORRY!

Chapter 139: To Me

2009-10-12T08:33:00.004+08:00

Ok, fyi. I am doing this post at home. College will be starting in bout 30 minutes.
Make this quick.

Dear blog,

I have done some thinking. That's what i do best. And i came over to this conclusion for now.
Well, seeing that i am supposed to be focusing at the moment, i will abandon you for awhile.
Not something that i am quite happy to do.

And to make you feel better. I am not going to access to my facebook, and other what-nots that i have online.
So, to be fair, i am not going to use the computer unless i need it for my work.

Signed,
Me.

For those guys that read my blog.
I am not going to sign in to messenger....

Let's see how long my resolution lasts. Lol.
Hopefully it's strong.

Chapter 138: Head Popping

2009-10-11T19:16:00.003+08:00

Ok... So i'm in quite a pickle.
Yes, i admit. I kinda placed myself in this situation.
So it is PARTLY my fault.
Only partly though.

I am so burdened now... i feel like i am about to die.
Ok, blogging is something i am doing at the moment to release some stress. Lol.
Supposed to be doing my journal... but... yea.

Back to the story.
I have my Foundation to handle. Of course lots of work.
Then i also have my Student Council.
They have a big project ahead. So kinda busy for us all at the moment.
Then i also have my external art lessons.
To improve myself.
And believe it or not guys? I have a life.

So, i feel kinda pressured. Lots of stuffs to do.
Dunno what to focus on...
So i was planning to stop the art lesson...
But my parents do not allow me to.
I know it's for my own good...
But it's hard.
I DON'T like to be pushed.

I would do a much better work at my own pace.
Taking my own time to learn....
Like my piano pieces.
Of course, they won't listen.
I can do better IF i am given a chance to relax and take things slow.
Personally, i'm not a VERY hardworking person.
Hardworking, maybe. Very, not.
I'm not proud of it. But let's face it. This is me.

So... I would have to force myself... and in the end...
Hopefully they would realise this and let me do things at my own pace...
At least i can be happy and improve myself my way.

P.S: They would say i am quoting my bro when i say the above sentence. He said something like, doing things his way, and study smart... and all that.
But honestly, i need to BREATHE!!!

Chapter 137: Camera Trick?

2009-10-11T19:10:00.002+08:00

Well, i wonder something about taking photos.

Let's say there is a room of mirrors. Then something is in the middle of it.
The person takes a snap of it... But... You don't see the camera, the hand or the person in the reflection.

Strange...
Why is that?

For example...

I THINK i might know the theory of this.
But in another scenario, the object is taken from the front.
Meaning the mirror is parallel to the person taking the shot.
So how is he invisible?

Chapter 136: Ken's Birthday Celebration

2009-10-09T21:45:00.006+08:00

Ok, i know that this post is a tad late.
But i was waiting for the pics from Charcoal.
I din take any cause i din bring my camera on that day.

Anyway, so we went to the Bar.B.Q Plaza for the celebration after class.
Oh, Mr. Mozahiri gave Ken a birthday present, class was canceled.
All for him... How nice. LOL.

So here are he pics.

Stephanie is oiling the... err... pan with the fats.

Dai Lou(Yong Hong) doing the same.

Dai Lou and I

Jeannie and Dai Lou.

The couple. Christy and Jonathan.

Me, Steph and Ken.

Me and Steph.

The three musketeers.(lol) Sheryl, Carmen and Peck Yee.

Sheryl and Carmen, Peck Yee's phone blocking.

The musketeers with Steph and Ken.

Something Charcoal and Dai Lou did after we finish our meal.

So we all had fun.
Ate our fill...
That place was not bad actually. My first time there.
We found out that Peck Yee was an expert in dining there. Haha.

After that, we walked around 1U for awhile.
We went walking about... looking at shops... and all that.
Bonus pic. Playing dress up. Lol.

Forced to pose for the cam after wearing the gay hat. T.T

Chapter 135: Nonsense

2009-10-06T22:25:00.002+08:00

The other day, we were doing our work... I think it was for project class...
It was only a half day class.
Therefore, we had some time to kill.

Well, to start this story, Ken and Dai Lou(Yong Hong) made some wooden swords.
Too much free time.
So they decided to play with it.

Actually, it was Steph and Ken who played with it.
But who cares, it's still funny.

Only Ken can laugh in the face of danger. Lol.

Again, the "trivial" matters FCA 27 students are up to. Haha.

Chapter 134: Random-ness

2009-10-04T17:36:00.001+08:00

Nothing to blog about.
But just wanna write something in my blog so that it isn't dormant.
Haha.

So... nothing to say.
Alright, bye bye.

Chapter 133: Final Product and Decision

2009-10-01T19:40:00.005+08:00

Finally, completed the box project.
My shoe box is done. ^^

After some unfortunate event, i had to redo my box cover.
But i took it as a blessing in disguise and well... redo it.
I think it looks better now.
Not so bright like before.

Anyway, this is the final product.

And i've made my decision too.
I am going to venture into Graphic Design.
It suits my interest and likings better.
^^

And it looks like i MIGHT be going to Australia for it... But not confirmed.

Chapter 132: Sketch

2009-09-30T22:06:00.002+08:00

Just got a new... err... task from my Moral Studies (Personality Sciences) lecturer, Mr. Mozahiri.

Given a choice on either a forum, debate or a sketch to present in front of the class.
Erk! Crap. Great, more work. Fortunately, he allowed us to do it in English.
Yipee!! Thanks, Mr. M.

Anyway, my group chose to do the sketch.
Basically, we have to perform a short sketch based on a "simpulan bahasa" or "peribahasa".
Of course, in the end, moral values must be inserted into the story and bla bla bla.
We're supposed to perform a sketch to get across a moral value based on the idiom and what not.

Well, this could be fun. Haha. Wish me luck. ><

Chapter 131: Dolls

2009-09-18T20:42:00.003+08:00

As the title states, this post is on DOLLS.

Yes, there will be a doll inside my shoe box.
I present to you Jack and Jill.

This is Jill.

Close up on Jill.

This is Jack.

Close up on Jack.

If you have not noticed, they are the same doll...
I just cut off Jill's eye lashes to make her Jack. XD

Chapter 130: Shirts

2009-09-16T22:43:00.003+08:00

Yesterday went to buy some shirts with Ken.
So on the way back... we drove, technically he drove, behind a car.
To be exact a Lamborghini.
So Ken told me to take photos of it.

Not being a car enthusiast, i don't bother.
So i didn't take the side view of the car.
Ken told me to take it when we were behind it already. So here it is.

Sadly, the pics are not that clear...

Chapter 129: Drawing Class Project

2009-09-14T20:46:00.002+08:00

Drawing class project 1.

A journal.
A nice project.
And Miss Yvonne is back as our lecturer.

My journal topic?
Eating places and human interactions in them.
Basically it is about the decor, architecture style and colours of the place that influences the behaviour of humans in them together with the crowd of people and dressing style.

Having fun doing it. Can take lots of pics. ^^
