coup de grâce

2010-08-16T02:45:00.003+08:00

Okay, I am here to revive my blog, obviously.

Holidays are boring me out. Trying to find jobs. But not really enthusiastic in finding one.

Watched Inception few days back.

The movie's not bad.

Interesting concept. I like their attempt of using in media res.

I think it would have been better if it was made into a series of episodes.

I have signed up for the workshop that was mentioned in the email sent by Agus.

Hope it doesn't get cancelled or something.

Few weeks ago, an animation called The Borrower Arrietty (借りぐらしのアリエッティ Karigurashi no Arietti) was released in Japan by Studio Ghibli.

I have absolutely no idea when will the movie reach Singapore cinemas or will it reach here in the first place.

*screams in silence* I want to watch...

Camped for few hours at a spot outside Esplanade with Mali on National Day.

That spot was brilliant.

The choppers and jets flew past above our heads.

The stunts were boring in my opinion.

From our spot, we could see fireworks being fired from 4 different places.

The place near the IRs spammed fireworks.

Yes, spammed.

Then there's a certain period where the fireworks appear as red and white crescents and stars.

Nice.

Chopin.

♥ First times.

2010-06-19T21:05:00.004+08:00

~16 June~

Went to Pixar's exhibition with Malissa.

She wore contacts and I wore leather shoes. LOL.

They were selling their merchandise outside the exhibition hall.

We touched almost every soft toy that was displayed there.

The bigger ones cost cheaper by few dollars compared to other stores.

Inside, we watched almost every video that was playing on their flatscreens.

I love their sculptures and pencil sketches a lot.

Awesome to the max.

And there's one particular video that was played inside a dark room.

2D concept art that was displayed in a way that they transitioned in 3D space.

I like it very much, although I felt a little giddy after watching it.

We also watched Toy Story 2 in 3D.

Still as fascinating as before.

We stayed at the exhibition until it was 6.

And there's this incubator that Malissa wanted to see.

My first time seeing an incubator.

We observed at an egg for quite a while as it was cracking.

But the chick didn't break out of it ):

And we ate cheese hotdogs wrapped with waffles.

~17 June~

Went Bugis with Malissa, Ethan, Wen Huan and Addison.

Ethan kept saying that he was 'testing the capacity limit' of 'my present'.

Then we met Jessica and Angie.

We went for lunch together.

I want to rant on the Japanese food stall.

Firstly, the food sucks.

Secondly, there's no white rice available at that moment. WTF.

Thirdly, their hygiene is shit.

Probably my first, last and only time to eat Jap food from that stall.

Everybody dispersed. Then Malissa and I walked around.

Saw this pink Cybershot camera studded with rhinestones.

My first time seeing such a chio camera. LOL.

Damn nice. Love it.

Saving money for it.

I must eat lesser...

~18 June~

Met Malissa at Cityhall MRT station.

I was late. =.=ll

We went to this certain bus stop that's situated in the middle of the road.

Reached the Singapore Flyer place via shuttle bus service.

My first time onboard the Singapore Flyer.

When waiting outside, it seemed that the Flyer was moving fast.

But actually, it's moving at an ultra slow speed.

It was nicer to sit on the cabin floor than on the benches.

After alighting the Flyer, we went to Popeye Lousiana Restaurant for lunch. LOL.

My first time eating fast food from Popeye.

Totally pwns KFC and Long John Silver's.

I ate some combo that costs around eight dollars.

Super full.

Then we chiong to East Coast.

Took train then bus.

After an underground pass, few blocks of flats and a bicycle ride from barbecue pit C20+ to B1.

We finally reached, with most of the people already there playing cards.

We went riding bicycles again.

Tian Mi Mi~ Hahahaha :D

Then we bought ice cream from 7 Eleven.

The weather's okay, but the clouds weren't nice.

I got a pink checkered bag. It's really nice.

I like it a lot.

It's also big enough for my 17" MacBook! =P

Then there's this red + pink T-shirt.

With glittery print of a couple HEHEHE...

And then there's glasses from McDonalds. LOL.

I got Eeyore and a bottle full of stars from Malissa :D

Then we had to return our bicycles to the shop.

And walked back to the pit. Super long distance ):

After dusk, Vanessa was looking at stars;

While Ethan was flying a kite. LOL.

The others were barbecuing and chatting at the pit.

Malissa and I were in our own world :D

We played Truth or Dare.

The question Ethan asked Malissa was epic.

After that, both of us were safe :D

Going back home, we boarded a bus with a weird driver.

He kept talking to himself and;

He barely decelerates when the bus reached a corner turn.

Reminded me of Ethan's car ):

In the train, I was already so tired;

And Malissa gave me something to think about......

Thanks everybody for both your presence and your presents :D

♥

Random Thoughts :)

2010-06-15T01:11:00.002+08:00

Common tests over. I think I can score in 3MA better than other modules.

Didn't manage to complete INN's practical test.

I kept having headaches at random moments.

And I finally got Byousoku 5 cm. =.=

I want to watch animations that are not really popular.

Like animations from China or Africa. LOL.

I want Toon Boom Studio leh~

Assignments to complete:

1. 3MA portfolio: car modeling

2. INN portfolio: game analysis report and presentation

3. VID portfolio: cartoon/illustrator and designer index page design

4. IE1 portfolio: panorama flash app

5. VID assignment 2: portfolio website (html)

6. IE1 assignment 2: portfolio website (flash)

Term Break~

2010-06-10T16:26:00.002+08:00

Common tests are finally over.

Still got 2 assignments over the 2-week break to complete.

3MA portfolio assignment and INN portfolio assignment.

Sometimes I feel like going over to DA.

Because of modeling and animation.

And I am hooked on to Maya.

But unfortunately my drawing skills below average :(

Those wants to get me a birthday present~ :P

Erm... actually I also don't really know what I want.

Just get anything that's pink :D

BYE~

Ecstatic.

2010-05-16T23:14:00.002+08:00

~15 May 2010, Saturday~

First week of Semester 2.1...

2010-04-23T11:47:00.004+08:00

First week of Semester 2.1 is over.

I like my timetable.

Lessons start from morning and end at 1;

Except VID.

Had VID on Monday.

Visual Interface Design.

Lecturer is Eric. LOL.

Had a short intro with bad humour.

Plus a brainteasing question for us to ponder.

Then we had to type out a 1000 word report.

Comparison Analysis between 2 websites.

If you want to have a laugh,

visit this extremely crappy website:

http://www.stevenlim.net/

Had IE1 on Tuesday.

Authoring Interactive Experience 1.

Lecturer is Mr Seow. Haha.

He made a powerpoint presentation on class rules. LOL.

Then, in order to refresh our memory in programming,

We had to do a 'Guess the Word' game.

He asked, "Who's allergic to programming?"

Haha.

And I hate the Adobe help database website,

that Mr Seow told us to refer to.

I think it's too technical;

Too many programming jargons.

Had 3MA on Wednesday.

3D Modeling and Animation.

Lecturer is Norman. Extremely monotonous guy.

He showed us examples of animations.

And a ridiculously long introduction.

We had to model a table in Maya.

But then I added two chairs and an ashtray.

Modeling is fun.

And I never knew that the four guys Jet Li beaten in 'The One"

Were computer generated.

Had INN on Thursday.

Interactive Narrative.

Lecturer is Christina.

Read long articles.

Watched short videos.

Learned advanced English words.

The difference between this module and the DA storytelling module,

is that we give choices and the rights to decide the reader's pathway

Through the story, and probably multiple endings.

Had I&E on Friday.

And apparently there's not much of a difference,

whether we chose any one out of the 5 types of I&E modules,

since we do pretty much the same thing.

Early in the morning,

my brain wasn't too keen on waking up.

I had trouble finding my class.

So I was late by 5 minutes.

And our lesson ended around 10.30.

またね〜

Crazy Hair Day

2010-04-19T01:51:00.003+08:00

I bleached my hair today.

First attempt to bleach.

It's yellowish-brown.

Or Brownish-yellow.

Either way they describe my hair colour.

And the stark contrast between the colour of my hair and skin.

It's driving me crazy.

I now appear looking more tanned than ever.

My hair texture resembles those of dry hay that horses eat.

And finally I got my fingernails cut.

School is starting later yet I am still awake.

Why do I see flashes of lightning at 3am in the night sky?

Frozen Fission

2010-04-17T19:25:00.003+08:00

>~~First and foremost, Malissa and I are just friends. Nothing more.~~

>Before school starts, I need to dye my hair and cut my fingernails.

>My left hand looks shitty with all the scars.

>I have a low EQ.

2010-03-14T01:18:00.004+08:00

"Forget me, For me, You can't save it. It's wrong, 答えてみせて~"

***

I am feeling unwell since few days ago.

I think my diet has gone somewhat wrong.

I ate styrofoam + raw bacon the day before.

Got to buy some more edible roses.

Running low.

And I have got the urge to try the buffalo wings at Sunset Grill & Pub.

***

(Few days ago..)

Played badminton (again) with Malissa, Mavis, Reuben and 2 others not from MMA.

Arrived late by an hour;

Actually woke up early but was watching some political video till I realized I was late.

Played with Mavis first.

She always hits the shuttlecock high up when she's serving.

Halfway down the match,

Mavis was cursing at how I was torturing her,

by forcing her to run left and right.

Then 2 V 2.

Malissa; Myself VS the other two not from MMA.

We won after 3 rounds.

Thanks to Malissa's persistent feint attack.

And Mavis's first line of sentence to me is:

"Do you watch Casper the cartoon?"

And they started talking about body piercing;

scandals; bras; blood; blind; bla, bla, bla...

Ate at Canteen 2.

Then Malissa and I went to the dot for airconditioning.

The rest went home.

At the dot...

Malissa: Do you want to go to my class or your class?

Me: Erm... Actually until now, I still dont know which class you belong to...

Then she got those gasped + shocked + dont-know-what-to-say expression.

Then chiong Idol Army Season 3 Ep 8 + 9 on Youtube till 6.

2010-03-04T00:52:00.003+08:00

I am short.

I don't talk to people first.

I can't draw well.

I rant on people for something as trivial as dining etiquette.

I can't hide my feelings well.

I can't express my feelings well either.

I don't smile often.

I am lazy.

I eat too much.

I have too little determination.

I place things in my heart too seriously.

I bully people.

I am not good looking.

I am reckless / careless.

I overestimate myself.

And oversensitive?

Agree / ~~Disagree~~ ?

2010-02-27T01:12:00.003+08:00

Went to NP early in the morning to place my sketchbook in the Art Studio.

Took bus there and back.

Then went Orchard to wait for Wenhuan, Ethan and Addison.

Walked to some kind of shopping centre.

I don't know the name.

Bought a bag with a Stitch printed on it.

Then lunch there.

Ate fried rice.

It's cheap and nice.

Took train to Bugis.

We were observing at Level 2 of Iluma.

Went down after Jess and Vanessa appeared.

See, see, see.

Talk, talk, talk.

"Erm. Register!"

This is what you get when you approach them.

You don't even know what are you registering for.

And they pushed their laptop towards you for entering your details.

LOL.

Walked home.

Walking is good for your health.

LOL. Okay.

Class Outing?

2010-02-25T00:09:00.003+08:00

Went back to school today to retrieve our 3DD and PDW stuffs.

Gave PDW drawing to Steven for him to keep.

One of my mascot's leg broke during journey back to Bugis.

A class outing of like... erm... nine people?

Someone suggested Seoul Garden for dinner.

As it was having the last day of promotions on discount up to 50%.

We waited at least half an hour before leaving.

Then we settled at some Steamboat outlet.

And as expected, I was again teased on my actions.

Wen Huan had oil all over his face.

About 20 dollars per person.

Well, I ate a lot of everything.

Except the chicken.

It sucks shit.

Hit the arcades at basement.

Ethan and I kept losing to Zhenru.

She already played everything before.

So she knew how the game starts/goes/ends.

My English name Jasper is abused.

Partly to blame on UrbanDictionary.com.

My Chinese name Eng Hai is abused too.

Addison and Ethan are the bastards.

So...

My new name is Aneko.

It's a female name, but I still like it.

わかりました？

Badminton!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!

2010-02-23T00:03:00.002+08:00

Early in the morning, people already have difficulties identifying me with my new hairstyle.

->I saw Malissa queueing up for food at canteen 2. I waved at her when she looked at my direction. She stared at me and stoned for a while, before waving back at me.

->From afar, Ethan thought I was some guy from 1M03 sitting at a table with Malissa.

->Yunxiang shared the same view as Ethan, adding that I looked chubby. OMGWTF.

->Wen Huan arrived, before sitting, "Jasper, your hair looked weird lor."

Shit man.

But at least my CATS teacher recognized me at Makan Place. Haha. Kinda of unexpected.

Oh yeah. People like Malissa and Yunxiang are partially made up of mechanical parts, which enables them to play badminton for prolonged periods without resting time.

And then Mr Seow came in to the court at some later time to talk to us and to take Addison's PDW portfolio assignment.

And he said I got broad shoulders/upper body. Random!

AND I HATE BEING SHORT!

I WAS FORCED TO JUMP EVERYTIME I HAD TO RETURN A HIT DURING BADMINTON.

Points & Bullets

2010-02-18T22:26:00.004+08:00

->I have bought a new hoodie and a pair of shoes today.

->I will go crazy soon because of my pimples.

->I want to play badminton!

->This is a Water Wheel at somewhere near Marina Square.

It looks some kind of gadget from the Industrial Revolution.

My dear father on the foreground.

->Something colourful attracted my attention at Watsons.

Giant Pocky with 7 different flavours in a box.

Apparently, a box costs 7.90 each.

Not an avid fan of Pocky biscuits.

SO... I didn't buy it. LOL.

New Year; New Style; New Life (quoted by Jerry)

2010-02-18T12:53:00.003+08:00

Had a haircut yesterday morning.

Went to a new hairstylist,

As the usual one I go to was closed for CNY.

And it was the first time I let my hair cut by a lady.

She really impressed me with her skills.

Her hands must be blessed by Hermes or something.

The whole session lasted no more than 10 minutes.

And it's super duper cheap.

I'm definitely will go back to her for subsequent haircuts.

But I still trying to get used to my new hairstyle.

It's shorter than what you all see in Semester 1.1.

But I think it's nicer. Yay.

NO LONG FRINGE AND NO BANGS.

HAHAHAHAHA.

I'm down with a damn persistent dry hacking cough.

It's irritating.

And it's torturing my throat.

Thanks to all those CNY snacks and tidbits.

PIMPLES!!!!!!!

CNY erm.....

2010-02-14T19:52:00.002+08:00

Visited relatives' house today.
Didn't get a lot for angpao money. ):
In actually fact, I got a lot lesser this year.
Cannot even buy a guitar now.....

Then went to Vivocity to shop for groceries.
Then went back home.
Want to go to Suntec and Far East for GLP clothing.
But then I slumped on my chair like a sloth once I reached home.
So not going already.

Visiting another relative's house tomorrow.
And a trip to the harstylist maybe?

春雪の頃

2010-02-14T01:04:00.005+08:00

Went home via Ethan's bike last night.
Left my bags and stuffs and our laminating machine at my house.
Then went roaming in and around Bugis Street for clothing with Ethan.
We then proceed to the arcade at Bugis Junction's basement.
Completed the machine gun game.
Forgotten what is it exactly called.
Didn't buy anything except Starbucks.
Had a good, nice and looooooong chat till 2am with him.
Then bought something to eat for my mum.
Home Sweet Home. Had a good bath and slept.
Almost immediately.

Woke up at 6pm. (You didn't see it wrong. It's really 6pm)
Had dinner. Fish, chicken, veggies and fruits.
Started to rearrange stuffs in my room.
I feel tired and ill.....

A song with nice lyrics:
春雪の頃 - the GazettE
(Shunsetsu no Koro)
MV Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7d6Nag5Ri8
English Translation:

The Time of Spring Snow

the day of blue graduation
"It's still a little cold, huh?" You asked me, your face buried in a scarf.
Slightly frozen, you talked about your memories and the future as you stood next to me.
It had all gone by so casually; I thought of those three years as ordinary.
But then I saw their importance and transience, and my loneliness began to spread.

A thought of you, a flicker of you, and I hid those hands that weren't holding yours.
The road of experience I expected to walk along also became so far away...

You turned and smiled and I joked around, trying to copy you.
Always the opposite of the gentle, repetitive atmosphere around us.
I wished so hard,
for the day I had to open that album and be flooded with nostalgia to never come.
Just one page of my memories was too much, and my heart wept.

I noticed your figure, which was a little taller than before, a little more than usual.
It was just a little while longer before I could go home on the route I was tired of looking at.
A thought of you, a flicker of you, another thought... But it didn't reach you.
The endless number of awkward days of my youth.

Never, ever changing. Because staying like this forever is good...
At least I have you. I won't forget. Even if the fragments of my memories make me sad.

The day of farewell in March when the spring snow flowers bloom.
So many "goodbyes" making everlasting memories.
A thought of you, a flicker of you, and the road I walked on with you.
But I was never able to tell you "I've always loved you."

I've realised there's nothing that never changes.
Every time I remember, my heart longs for you.
You're here if I open my album...

A single graduation photograph, taken under the full bloom spring snow.
We're still in the days of our youth and I'm overcome with that smile of yours that just won't fade.

Race Finished?

2010-02-12T20:47:00.002+08:00

Exhibition ended.

For 3DD, Susie and Eric was observing all our works.

Presentation Boards and Mascots made out of sculpey.

Although they made no negative comments, they didn't add something positive.

So, I am not really sure whether my mascot is passable.

Compared to others, mine is like..........

For PDW, I handed in my Portfolio assignment;

Which is one point perspective drawing of our classroom.

And Steven and I had to explain how our drawing came about.

Steven said something about war between God and humans.

While I stayed dumb.

I was a little stunned/shocked/surprised/astonished/dumbfounded/taken aback when Vanessa gave chocolate to me as Valentine's Day present.

However, her target isn't me. HAHAHA.

Yeah. So I am gonna spent Valentine's Day alone for the 17th time. XD

I was a little unwell today.

So I spent most of the time falling asleep in class.

And our PDW grades were announced while I was sleeping. =.=ll

Nadrah was worse off than me.

She stayed up for the whole of last night to rush her 3DD presentation board,

While I stayed up for the whole of last night to wait for her to send me her work to print.

She was reluctant to go see a doctor despite many people telling her to do so.

HAAPPY CHINESE NEWW YEARRRR!!!!

Before The Finishing Line...

2010-02-12T02:16:00.002+08:00

A few more hours to exhibition.

Feel weird.

Time flies. Too fast.

Tooooo fast.

Two semesters have gone by!

And I have a high probability to retake 3DD next semester.

And my GPA will be even screwed.

Thinking of 1M04, my class is probably the luckiest class of all.

We got a good class location, good lecturers;

And not-so-weird classmates. HAHA.

I still remember when I was in first semester, I had this retarded hairstyle, which resembles a bit like Rock Lee's hair from Naruto. And now people start saying I am emo because of my long hair and extremely long fringe which covers almost my right eye away.

SHOULD I CUT MY HAIR?

Friday. February 12, 2010. 2.25AM

Just came back from the 24 hour printing shop.

Printed Si Ya's and Irwan's 3DD mascot presentation boards and rationales.

Now currently waiting for Nadrah to send me her's.........

Final Lap...

2010-02-10T01:09:00.002+08:00

Firstly, I have changed my blogskin (once again)!!!

Simple layout. Fonts only. No pictures. (:

This is what I call 'timeless masterpiece'.

HAHA.

Secondly, I have wasted my time today.

I did nothing while I am in school.

Wee Lian gave us some advice on the importance of further education,

and how should we be prepared for it.

And he showed us a interactive media project done by seniors.

Honestly, I can only say it's a good attempt.

An obvious gap towards professional standard.

Thirdly, I am going for a DigiPen Singapore Information Session.

It's on 25 February 2010, Thursday, 1900 hours.

They will introduce their institution and their courses.

Mostly related to game development, game design and animation.

I have registered and I am going!!!

Fourth, thank you all for.....

My DAV Group: Ethan, Jerry, Wen Huan and Cheng Yong

... making our first video production a success.

My ANI Group: Ying Tian, Cherin, Min Qi and Mun Teng

... cooperating to complete our Stop Motion and Pixilation projects.

And everyone else who made my life better.....

HAHA, またね〜

Unchained...

2010-01-31T01:11:00.002+08:00

-Continued drawing PDW portfolio. The whole class burst into laughter at my bad drawing of faces.

-Had dinner at KAP Mac with EL, WH, CY, Nadrah and Si Ya.

-Si Ya should open herself more to others. But then, I have no authority to persuade her. Look at myself.

-Had a good talk with Nadrah during trip back to home. (:

-I want to thank a lot of people. NEXT POST! Haha.

HAHAHA!

2010-01-29T21:12:00.002+08:00

-Reached school at around 11, 12 pm.

-Did PDW, haven't completed yet. But Chee Kiong said it's quite nice and stands a chance to get A.

-Our PDW drawing includes one-point, two-point and three-point perspective objects. References include the city Midgar Edge from Advent Children Complete, ships inspired by Star Wars and helicopter and nuclear holocaust from Call of Duty.

-Many people has seen our drawing and said us siao because of the intricate details we drawn. Steven was also afraid of not being able to complete the drawing in time. Blame me. I chose the reference.

-I got a feeling of wanting to go DA. Want to beat Hayao Miyazaki. Which is impossible, I know.

-Wee Lian suddenly bought 3 DVDs by Miyazaki after we presented on him. Reminiscence?

-Who dares to watch Grave of the Fireflies? So far, the people I know that they have watched are Wee Lian, Kalai and myself. Who else? Depressing~

-I tried singing through the mic in Sound Studio. Sucks. My voice sucks. Angie's voice seriously sounds like those voice actresses for animes.

-A lot of assignments to complete during these weekends. I want Vanessa's time management ability.

-Long fringes rocks. They do not mean emo.

-Ignorance is bliss. BUT TO NO AVAIL.

2010-01-29T00:11:00.001+08:00

An animal shaped from Yun Xiang's super sculpey. Cute?

EMO PIECE OF SHIT.

2010-01-28T23:11:00.001+08:00

An another meteoric impact to my over sensitive emotions?

FML.

2010-01-28T22:55:00.001+08:00

Amorphous. ~Catharsis.

Extreme.

2010-01-28T20:44:00.001+08:00

I love your smile... but are you avoiding me?

Reconsider?

2010-01-27T18:17:00.001+08:00

Reconsider?

Open Sesame!

2010-01-27T00:59:00.002+08:00

For people who wants to know more about me, state a specific question on the tagboard.

For people who hates me so much, bash/flame/troll comments on the tagboard too.

All will be answered within 1-3 days.

Neither way out...

2010-01-26T14:57:00.001+08:00

Snail or sheep?

Introvert. Still.

2010-01-26T13:56:00.001+08:00

I still don't dare to approach you...

2010-01-25T19:28:00.002+08:00

Irony.

A Fading Star.

2010-01-24T11:00:00.002+08:00

- Changed to a custom blogskin featuring a member of J-Rock band, Versailles. Forgotten his exact name, but he looks gorgeous.

- The red element in my hair colour has faded.

- Stayed at the Loft since Friday for filming convenience. Being a director and scriptwriter is tiring and tedious, and so are others. I think I damn failure at directing, cause I don't know lots of typical key scenes used in lots of movies.

- Where's all my courage gone to? The courage to say I like someone.

SUPER HYPERACTIVITY.

2010-01-19T16:59:00.002+08:00

Had S&W. Nothing special happened except some unknown people entered the swimming complex with video camera and recorded shots of us swimming. Coach says it's going to be uploaded to the NP's website.

Had CATS. Completed our second (or third, I have forgotten) and last assignment of the module. The presentation went smoothly and probably the best in the class. Haha. Luckily, it went smoothly, or else this bloody assignment, which constitutes 50% of the whole module, will drag my marks down.

Very lonely in class now... but I am hyper for no active reason.

=.=ll

Threeeeeee Deeeeeeeeee Deeeeeeeeeeeee!

2010-01-05T00:06:00.002+08:00

3DD is giving me stress. Intense stress!
Showed Eric today my redesigned packaging. We are called in to the class one by one.
While the class is empty except me and Eric, he was smiling eerily to me.
"Jasper, what happened to you?"
"Huh?"
"The original one looks nicer than yours."
*stare*
"Jasper. What happened to you? I know you can do better than this."

DAMN HIM.

Got a hoodie. Finally. Black with white stars.
Wore it for the first day after two week's break. And everybody is making fun of me again.
Yeah. They renamed me to Angie LAH.
Assholes.

Later, S&W then presentation for CATS. After lunch, three hours of OOP then proceed to Fort Canning Park and some other places with abandoned or old houses with Ethan. If proceed smoothly, we can start on pre-production soon.

Hope and Change

2010-01-01T18:26:00.002+08:00

Doing my 3DD assignments now, slowly yet not steady.

Just finished watching Spirited Away. Amazed at how Hayao Miyazaki effectively conveys emotions and relationships through the use of traditional animation. Can you actually shed a tear for a monster? Am going to be a die hard fan of him. Hopefully he will impress me further with his future works.

Gray clouds were hanging dangerously outside my home a few hours ago, warning everyone of an impending heavy rain. Yet, I can see beyond and above the thick layer of gray clouds, white clouds struggling to reveal themselves. It actually didn't rain at all.

Eating instant noodles later on a New Year's night. I have nobody to talk to. Friends offline. Family busy. What can I do? Music and movies.

I don't want to be perfect anymore.

Emotional Abyss

2010-01-01T03:41:00.002+08:00

Feeling even moodier now. For no apparent reason. Maybe it's because of the deadly concoction of schoolwork, money and social life.

I want a hoodie...

Re-watched Howl's Moving Castle. Still epically elegant. Hayao Miyazaki.....

I really... have nothing.... *sighs*

Behind the name: KaraSenshi.

2009-12-31T02:11:00.005+08:00

MOODY.

Some people without prior knowledge may think that KaraSenshi means 'warrior of sky' or something similar, judging from the kanji characters. But in actual fact, which Japanese students will know, that kanji characters have a number of different pronunciations and meanings. So Kara means 'empty' or 'emptiness', not 'sky'. If it's sky, then it would be SoraSenshi.

Depending on a person's perspective, 'warrior of emptiness' may or may not imply something deeper. But to me, it's an engraved fragmented memory on a corner of my brain and heart.

Since my arrival to this world, I have fought against obstacles, whether physical or mental, to reach the point of destination I want. What's my ultimate goal in my life?

As such, the choices I made, the decisions I chosen, has a direct implication on my ultimate goal. So if I want to reach my ultimate goal, I have to use a product. That product is called determination. It seems to be fading however, despite a prolonged stable usage in my early stages of life.

My ultimate goal? Is to be perfect.

HOWEVER, fighting obstacles to attain perfection. Price to pay? Time? Sweat? Tears? Blood? And I realized, what good is it to be perfect? The answer is to fill up the emptiness in my heart and mind. To numb myself. To deceive myself.

KaraSenshi です。

Contradiction

2009-12-30T12:21:00.002+08:00

Went for the class outing on Monday. With Ethan, Clarence, Yun Xiang, Wen Huan, Addison and Vanessa. Initially, I was reluctant to choose songs to sing. But then thinking of the previous section of KBox, where I sang less than three songs. SO I started to spam songs (especially those high-pitched ones) by JJ Lin, Angela Chang and Gary Cao. Jerry said that I am crazy to choose those songs, where I had to lower at least 3-5keys to sing. Falsetto FTW. And when I realized Wen Huan only sang one song, I chose all those Korean songs we have heard before, songs from SNSD, SuJu and SHINee. Yun Xiang made bets with Wen Huan with coin flipping. And in the end, Wen Huan danced to Gee. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DANCE. Haha.

Had Mac for dinner. Jessica and Angie joined us. I started to feel so inferior. Cause Jessica wore high heels (which is the first time I have ever seen her wear), then she 'grew' taller than me! I felt soooooooo..... Haiz.... I have nothing to describe that exact feeling. That feeling was made worse by Clarence, cause he followed what I did when I touched the low ceiling of the underpass.

Gift exchange was redundant, since gifts were specifically bought to give a certain person. I bought a soft plush. Tigger from Winnie the Pooh. And I got an egg themed mousepad and wristrest. Should I feel happy at that moment? Haha.

Still haven't complete my 3DD, both car and packaging, PDW sketches.......

Holidays? Break? Not really.

2009-12-23T00:05:00.002+08:00

Attended yesterday's and today's iPhone Applications Programming Course.

Yesterday, I was shocked when I entered the room. I thought only me, AY, CY, EL, WH and YX attending the course. There were people 5 times older than us also attended! And then we had a hard time catching up with the lesson because we have no prior knowledge to these programming languages, C#/XML/CSS/HTML/SAX and probably more others. So we were like struggling with Activity One and other people were finishing Activity Three. Ethan was as confused as I. We tried to absorb the theory stuff that the lecturer was explaining. But nothing went in. Ultimately we ended up like mindless zombies, copying every single word of code from the course book to the XCode.

To negate my dreaded feelings of having my external hard drive lost, I (re-)downloaded the videos I lost. And I realize I downloaded a lot of JJ Lin's and Ayaka's music videos.

Oh yeah. My top 10 resolutions for next year is on the right before the tagboard. And don't bug to release Chapter One of my fiction faster. Still writing it. Shit. I still remember what we discussed at Makan place. The details were so much that we machiam going to do a real movie and the production book. Hehe. Homeless Fantasy VII: Crazy Classpeople.

Nightmare Before Christmas!

2009-12-19T01:05:00.003+08:00

Went to print out my open cut outs and presentation board, and all the printing and laminating cost to a near 20 bucks. Owed Addison money. Hate that. =(

But I am discriminating against myself now. My 500 gb external hard drive is lost. Probably left at the printing shop. Went back there and done a search and asked the printing people there. No luck. Ransacked my bag. Neither. Feeling very down. =(

This feeling sucks. Felt it so many times in my lifetime.

2009-12-17T01:46:00.002+08:00

Did ANI practical test today. Had already foreseen roughly what kind of questions will be set. Drawing in-betweens and identify animation principles. And once again, I say: I didn't shade. I took more time to complete the test because I was fed up with the bouncing ball in-betweens. The two bounces' arcs were so similar, but were in fact different by a fraction of a centimetre.

After the ANI test, we were just slacking in class. Played a few matches of COD2, a match of Map Tuong Hop (Vietnamese. Hahaha.) and surfed across lots of websites with tutorials on photoshop. But what's worth remembering is a person's portfolio website. The website's navigation's transition swipes from left to right depending on the context menu topic you choose from. And it's not even in Flash or Java. It's HTML coding! I searched on Google and found out that this runs from a JavaScript file called HighSlide.

Right now with music blasting into my ears, I still struggling to do my car mock-up presentation board. Going to print it and the open out cut outs later in the morning (if possible), or later in the afternoon when lunch break. Aim to complete it on Friday and hand in to Eric. Pink Impreza WRC 2006 FTW.

BlogFlash #1: Realized Jerry is so fascinated with Photoshop-ing. And Addison really needs to improve on his Photoshop skills and NOT take shortcuts like spamming Quick Select Tool.
BlogFlash #2: I need love. NOT gay love.

2009-12-16T00:52:00.002+08:00

Today's DAV theory really fucked up. 1 hour duration for a 20 marks paper. Here it is:
Section One: MCQ - 10 Questions - 5 marks IN TOTAL. (Fucked up.)
Section Two: Short-Answer Questions - 10 marks IN TOTAL. (Fucked up. Most of these questions need at least one page on answers. So in other words, they are not really Short-Answer Questions.)
Section Three: Structured Question - 5 marks IN TOTAL. (This one at least reasonable.)

The whole of one hour, I chiong like one madman. Because I have learnt my lesson on previous semester with FCP theory test. But then, this is WORSE SHIT. Everybody was like complaining and moaning in the lecture theatre after the test about the marks allocation and weightage and the time constraint.

Sianz. I promised Eric to give him my paper mock up car and presentation board by this week. And then still have to do pixilation project. And IS CATS thing. Stress. Stress. Stress.

Tomorrow's ANI practical test.

Seoul Song

2009-12-15T01:51:00.002+08:00

Addison created a private Facebook group exclusively only for peoples from 1M04. He's the creator naturally and I got the rank called "Photo/Fic Uploader" given by him. LOL. Seems weird to me. But then I had uploaded 4 photoshop manipulations and started on a fiction already.

Got contacted by Eric through Facebook Chat few days ago. And the first thing he said to me is: "Where the hell is your car?". And I explained everything to him. Promised him to give him the car by this week. My Impreza is giving my headache. Almost to migraine.

LOL. My secondary school classmates were shocked from seeing my hair colour and style. Can't blame them. Just compare the current me and the me from first few days of first semester. It's all Jerry's fault. Bloody hell introduced me to GazettE.

Got hooked on to the latest collaboration of Super Junior and So Nyuh Shi Dae/Girls' Generation on their new song: "Seoul Song". The rhythm and the beat sounds too nice in my ears, although it's still the bloody korean style of using electronic instruments. And this time is NOT a biased comment just because Jessica's inside. It's really nice.

Still struggling with myself to revise DAV stuff for tomorrow's theory test. ARGGGHHH!

Chocolate Truffle (Unplugged Ver.)

2009-12-13T19:43:00.002+08:00

I went to Suntec yesterday to buy a Stikfas figurine. Musketeer Alpha Male.

Reminiscence, isn't it?

Stikfas was created by a Singaporean during year 2005. Plastic figurines famous for its freedom of every major body joint movement. A trend of Stikfas fights and stop motion animations were blazing both locally and internationally after it was released.

But there were reasons on why I thought of buying a Stikfas figurine. Firstly, as a major reason, so that I can better understand the principles of animation. Secondly, as a minor reason, it serves as a silent jealousy against Ethan's group of using Stikfas figurines as their medium for stop motion animation project. ARRRRHHHH! To think that my group had to make our own armature and record it through wee hours.

First Successful Pitching of Short Video Proposal

2009-12-11T17:32:00.003+08:00

Luck or skill, my group and I in DAV killed all others in today's pitching session.

We are supposed to come up with 3 sets of proposals to 3 short videos, music videos or documentaries. Then we finalized on 3 ideas.
Cheng Yong - Director and scriptwriter of "10 Ways of Stopping Terrorism"
Jasper Yeo - Director and scriptwriter of "Unwanted Redemption"
Jerry Lim - Director and scriptwriter of "The Marble"

And the idea that our lecturer chose is... mine! Hahaha!

I know I didn't explain well enough in my presentation.
So I will explain here.

"Unwanted Redemption" is a story where a working businessman named Jim receives a mysterious phone call after buying some drinks and snacks. The person at the other end of the phone call tells Jim that the sins Jim's past life had committed and accumulated has not been forgiven and will haunt him back in his present life. Later, he suffers a series of headaches and flashbacks crossed his mind. Jim's previous life is a Japanese soldier who served the Japanese Occupation, and came across a girl. An unclear and ambiguous relationship formed between two of them. And when the soldier was about to leave for duties at elsewhere, the girl begged him not to leave but in a feat of rage, the soldier killed her with a pistol. And back to the present, Jim almost collapsed due to the pain and he sees a girl who looks exactly like the girl in the past, who is about to meet a car accident. Jim attempts to save her... and blackout. Haha.

So after today,
Next week: (Common Test Week)
->DAV Theory Test (Tuesday)
->ANI Practical Test (Wednesday)
->PDW Practical Test (Friday)
Two weeks after next week: (Holidays)
->Pre-Production, Pro-Production and Post-Production of Pixelation Project (ANI)
->Tracing, Designing, Printing, Laminating and Mock-Up of Paper Packaging Design (3DD)
->Pre-Production of Short Video: "Unwanted Redemption" (DAV)

BlogFlash #1: OOP is fun! With Oran's wittiness and knowledge definitely.
BlogFlash #2: Attempting song composition.

2009-12-06T04:53:00.003+08:00

Okay. I knew I shouldn't blog at a crucial time like this. Got a lot of school assignments in hand and deadlines are closing in rapidly.

But then again, I need a breather. I can't possibly mug and chiong all the way. Besides, just this week, I had already skipped 3-4 nights to do 3DD shit.

And I have to got to online to register for next semester's IS module selection and diploma specialization. And IN MY OWN HUMBLE OPINION, those who go to Digital Animation stream without 100% confidence in their own breakthroughs will fail harder compared to those in Interactive Media stream. Once more, to repeat and emphasize Eric's advice: Digital Animation is a very focused stream while Interactive Media is a broader stream. In digital animation, the career prospects are at a smaller range and variety, whilst in Interactive Media covers a lot of aspects like programming applications and games, creating advertisements, banners, posters, websites, apply digital effects and sound effects to movies, publishing 2D animations and more.
I observed, and many other would too, that many people are going into DA just because their liking of Japanese Animations. To me, it's a fatal error to choose a specialization in this way. People should set their foresight further, like future career prospects, size of the market, employability, financial and time management, etc. If I am not wrong, Vanessa, which is equivalent to an accomplished Shinigami in drawing and shading skills, is going to IM.
Hence, it's not like I am brainwashing (Oran would. Seriously. Go read his mail in school email inbox.) or forcing people into IM, but it's just that people are like going into a deep abyss of hellfire without some holy protection.

Meeting Ethan later at Choa Chu Kang for a haircut at some guy's house. And I need his camera to take images of my mock-up car and myself.

And if Jerry is reading this, I am not against you or anything. Coincidences. My mock-up car is also pink. Haha.

BlogFlash #1: Withdrawn from EP Japanese.
BlogFlash #2: OOP Programming confirmed. Lessons start next Tuesday. (This is going to be the best lessons I would ever had in NP.)
BlogFlash #3: Apple iPod Programming confirmed. 21-23 December. (I wonder how are they going to teach a new programming language to complete beginners within 3 days. But freak man. $6000 fee for each student. Thanks to NP for waivering.)
BlogFlash #4: Say hello to my little and humble companion.

Warning! This Egg Song caused a worldwide phenomenon on YouTube, including my class, especially affected ones are Jerry and Yun Xiang. However, Jerry got extremely irritated while Yun Xiang immersed in rhythm pleasure.

Beyond The Wasteland

2009-11-30T00:02:00.003+08:00

I can't believe the amount of sleep I got over these weekend. With one extra day to extend the weekend, I should do and get over with my current assignments. Instead, I slept so much that my Saturday lasts only 5-6 hours.

Just now I was browsing the library for referencing, and I came across a book that teaches Renderman usage. Remembering last Thursday, when Weelian showed us a series of good quality animations from all over the world for 3 hours, Jerry was showing me some elite anime artists and animators that I don't even heard of them before. There's even one that was dubbed as "God of Anime". And we were browsing Pixar's main website, we came to know that they invented an animating software called Renderman. It's famous for rendering intricate details like hair and fur. I suggested to find out how much Renderman costs. And Jerry and I were fucking astonished. Do you actually believe an animating software costs US$3,500? Many modern and top notch animations and movies used it.

The next piece of information is even more bizarre. The upcoming movie "Avatar", which is advertising recently on McDonald's advertisement for the new burger, has a US$250-300 million budget, and 1000 crew and cast took part in the movie.

After that day, I am surprised to see myself so engrossed in learning After Effects.

Oh yeah. Forgive me for posting that status on Facebook. I haven't even start on my decal design.

See-Through Communication

2009-11-20T02:23:00.002+08:00

Go to hell with 3DD. That's my MSN display message.

After the 3D rendering of Illustrator, more assignments keep piling up. Especially 3DD. I still haven't complete my SYOG wing design thing. Just today for portfolio lesson, Eric wants us to construct a car model out of paper. Then he joked about a certain kind of shop that sells everything, which we guessed would be joss paper shop. It's supposed to be a practice for next CA for next week, but everybody except me seems to be serious with their paper modelling. They found their car design, printed it out, cut and constructed. I didn't even start to cut, not because of laziness, but rather no motivation. My car design turns out to be a 17-page one, while everybody else are 1-page designs. Then Eric keep "reminding" me: "Jasper, do this. It will be a challenge for you." And he's bloody racist. Addison did some little accent jokes of Indians and is my first time to see Eric bursts out laughter so hard.

Planned out roughly my schedule for this weekend outing.
Saturday:
1. AFA from morning to evening. (Highlight: Regional Cosplay Championship.)
2. Shop at Mini Toons for a soft toy.
3. Play Stackers to get the bloody damn PS3. (Just for FF13. LOL.)
Sunday:
1. AFA from morning to noon. (Highlight: To see Kaname☆ in Cloud's/Ichigo's cosplay.)
2. Birthday party to celebrate Jerry's birthday.
Ethan suggested we all chip in money to buy a present for Jerry. And then Ethan went to eBay to look for those stuffs. Haiz. Won't say it here incase Jerry reads here.

Blogflash #1: NP flooded again; Water blasted through Makan Place's ceiling.
Blogflash #2: I may decide to quit Japanese lessons.

Re-Sublimity

2009-11-17T14:41:00.002+08:00

Warning: Long post. (Not really)

Finally found time to blog.

Finished 3DD packaging design rendering. Not completely satisfied with it. Apart from the "incurable" insufficient memory of Illustrator used on my rendering, the vector graphic and the gradient in it was not done perfectly, since I only have a few hours to render on computer, print and laminate. It would take me at least 30 seconds every time I render or preview render my container. And mine's a 17" dual core with 4 gb ram. I really wonder what will happen next year, when we start to use Maya or 3DSMax.

Handed up my IS CATS trip report to lecturer today. It was late by a week, so it will be marked down to "uphold justice" to those who handed in on time. Had presentation on diverging thinking tool today. I think I screwed up my part for today's presentation, although lecturer said that everybody passed. I presented 2-3 slides in less than a minute. What do you all think?

As mentioned in certain previous post, ever since Ethan took over the post of 1M04's chairman, events and surprises sprung up. After the epic Vending Machine Trilogy, now comes the fake scandals that cannot be faked any further. Firstly Yun Xiang targeted, then Wen Huan, and now me. I can't believe I am "associated" with 5 girls. ZOMGWTF!?!?! Just because I like Jessica in SNSD, and then I am with Jessica?! Just because I stayed overnight at a girl's house with 4 girls for project work, and then I slept with 4 girls?! Last night, I was given the responsibility for the A&W Project. Nope, not the A&W drink you are thinking. Its short for "Angie & Wen Huan" Project. LOL. And moments ago, I was given the knowledge that Angie likes Taeyeon too. Wooohooo!!! Isn't that affinity?

Wonder what's the blog title? It actually doesn't mean anything. It's a song name from "EXIT TRANCE PRESENTS SPEED アニメトランス COMPLETE BEST" album of trance music. Took it from Cheng Yong and listened it. Felt not bad, so I started listening to trance. I just hope I won't get hooked on to extreme Speedcore music like him.

The AFA 2009, Anime Festival Asia, is on 21st and 22nd November at Suntec Convention Centre!!! I think this event would be, should be and must be much more impressive than the previous I went to early this year. Because a certain individual is going to AFA, and he amazed me. He goes by the pseudonym Kaname☆. He has done the best Cloud Strife cosplay I have ever seen in my life. Ticket prices for student rates are S$12 and S$20 for 1-day and 2-days entrance tickets respectively. I think I am going for both days. But then, Jerry's birthday party is on Sunday. I can't go for a "Flurry Fetish Party". LOL.

Mentioning about "Flurry Fetish Party", I remembered going to Mini Toons at Suntec few days ago for the first time in my life. Wanted to analyse which soft toy I wanted to buy, when I realized I don't have enough money. Everything there is not cheap. A soft toy the size of my lower arm costs about S$10. Then I thought maybe not a bad idea to try on a "Catcher Machine". The machines at Bugis feature three "arms", but they were weak and flimsy. The ones at Iluma were stronger and more stable, but only feature two arms. So how?

ANI tomorrow..... Have to start my 2D animation drawings.... And my PDW..... Haiz....

Defective Tragedy...

2009-11-01T16:12:00.002+08:00

Had the first experience of an "inexpensive" digital video camera which costs 5k on last friday.
Apparently, the video camera failed my expectations of being a difficult piece of equipment to handle with.
The buttons are clear and organized. Light and portable.
We are supposed to record 7 scenes of at least 10 seconds each of different camera shots.
A storyline is optional, and I created a fast one at that.
Story: Cheng Yong wants to buy a drink using the vending machine, yet his drink doesn't come out, and he starts bashing it. Took at least half an hour to complete it.
Jerry's storyline is inclined towards the emotional side. It's just Ethan before, during and after his suicide. LOL.

*****

Attended Japanese lesson. Shouldn't have skipped it on Week 1. Now the consequences: homework from last week and more homework this week snowballed with 3DD and PDW homework. But I'm glad that I have a good Japanese teacher. Better than the one teaching previous semester.

*****

Stayed back after Japanese school. Addison found out that the cup drink vending machine at our Block 27 has a technical flaw. The Mocha drink which is supposed to be 40 cents (as stated on the machine display), instead can be bought with only 20 cents. Then we being cheap bastards, buy only the Mocha drink from it.

*****

Will be very busy with the next 2 weeks.

2009-10-29T09:02:00.003+08:00

Since Ethan took over as our 1M04's chairman, a lot of interesting ideas and events sprouted up.
Firstly, Ethan suggested we tap on our class fund to buy our own laminating machine. We can save money in lamination, as well as earning money from ICT students by charging them a bit cheaper than market price for lamination. LOL.
Secondly, something silly yet epic happened yesterday night at Block 27. Ethan, Cheng Yong, Yun Xiang and I spent $2.80 on 3 packets on snacks. Don't know who spotted it first. There's 2 wang wang packets hanging on the edge of dispenser. We though that by inserting 70c (the price of one), we can get two. Failed. We get neither the wang wang or the money back. We tried again with Cheng Yong tilting the machine. No avail. Then Yun Xiang suggested that we buy the Calbee (because the Calbee chips dispenser is just above wang wang's one), so that the Calbee will drop and hit the 2 wang wang packets. Failed. Calbee too light. We gave up. But Cheng Yong's persistence in getting the wang wang paid off. He shook the machine so hard that they drop. We laughed like fools. Spending money when Cheng Yong's shaking technique is so useful.
Watch the video at Ethan's Facebook wall link to YouTube.
You know what all that means? Steven sucks being a chairman.
SORRY I AM DYSLEXIC.

Risky Attempt...

2009-10-26T20:50:00.002+08:00

Last night, I suddenly remembered that there's 3DD homework assignment. With the help of a computer, photocopier, printer and a black marker, I drawn Task 1 and Task 2 within 4-5 hours. And finished inking it within 1-2 hours. Laminated my assignments at a computer services shop. Didn't do my PDW sketches though. 3DD is MORE important. LOL.
Tonight I gonna try not sleeping again and finish my ANI flipbook.

Stress!

2009-10-23T00:28:00.002+08:00

Stressed physically and mentally...

***

Bloody hate the timetable for this semester:
Monday - 9am->6pm ( 3DD - 4 hours; PDW - 4 hours )
Tuesday - 8am->12nn ( S&W[Swimming] - 2 hours; IS CATS - 2 hours )
Wednesday - 9am->1pm ( ANI - 4 hours )
Thursday - 2pm->5pm ( Portfolio Class - 3 hours )
Friday - 9am-> ( DAV - 5 hours; Japanese Class - 2 hours )
In addition, I and some others got selected to design something got to do with YOG. Don't know details yet. And I, being crazy, wanted to sign up the OOP workshop mentioned by Oran and CCA in Studio47.

***

Our class chose class rep, treasurer and module reps today. Ethan and Mr Seow said that this whole voting system was rigged. Everybody has someone in their minds to nominate already. Yes, we purposely vote ~~Gopal~~ Steven for 3DD rep. It's so interesting to put 2 nemesis together. ~~Oily face VS dark face.~~

Second Day of Second Semester...

2009-10-21T00:28:00.002+08:00

I arrived at school late today, so I am left with limited options to choose my S&W. Wanted badminton, but all tags were gone. So I chose swimming. Luckily there's Soffian in too. I will probably slack though, because I have nothing new to learn anymore. Hahaha.
Then proceeded to CATS. I think I am cursed (or blessed?) in all my IS modules. Last semester, I got a sex maniac as my COMT lecturer, and now I got a paedophile as my CATS lecturer. Despite the weird attitudes they have, they are pretty good with their handling of lessons. I can't complain, can I?
Lost my appetite for lunch just because I picked the wrong time to watch Room 401, a candid camera show where illusionists planned, set up and conjure frightening and gory sudden events in front of their specified victims. Jerry and Cheng Yong are sick perverts, bursting into laughter at almost every episode.

First Day of Second Semester

2009-10-20T00:36:00.003+08:00

Firstly, congrats to Ethan and Vanessa for this enlistment into the Director's List.

Secondly, to those people who think I have always that angry face on, especially Jessica and Clarence, that's incorrect. I looked angry because that's my look when I am in default mood. And I am not anti-social. I just don't like to initiate conversations that much.

And lastly, Zhen Ru, read my blog. (:

2009-10-18T00:24:00.002+08:00

Getting a new haircut and some hairstyling items tomorrow.

***

Oh yeah, I have attempted to draw GazettE and SNSD. No wonder Jerry can't draw Yoona properly. Yoona's face is ~~shitty~~ tough to draw. Drawn Taeyeon and Jessica too. At least Jessica looks humane enough. Got bored, and then started drawing Ruki. I like my rendition of Ruki, although it doesn't look like him.

Where are the Japanese and Korean chio bu in Singapore hidden at?

The future not promised...

2009-10-14T03:27:00.002+08:00

Added an image of myself, a music player and removed the cursor effect.
I know it's crap.
Wait till my mood gets better, get more time and energy, and new, nicer clothes.
Until that, this crappy image can do.
And I have a lot of things planned in my head right now.
Goodbye.

The reverse side of beauty...

2009-10-13T23:44:00.003+08:00

Went to eat steamboat with Jerry, Jessica, Addison, Vanessa, Clarence, Patricia and Lesley. Ordered a few items. Jerry made the meal more interesting, while I seemed to go dumb. Then went to Vivocity and walked around. Home.

***

I feel so negative these days. I feel I suck in everything. Nothing good or special to mention about me. Or maybe it's just being me, with my self-standard of living so sky high. Wants to be perfect in everything. My perspectives towards the current society has become so overwhelming that it sometimes take over my personality. What's my image to others? What do everyone else think about me?

Crazy Outing...

2009-10-10T01:52:00.002+08:00

Met Jerry and his friends at Orchard Cineleisure and Suntec City. Jiawei offered me a free haircut, when I don't even know what hairstyle should I take on. We initially wanted to watch a movie, but then scrapped off. Then we had lunch at some restaurant (I forgotten the name) at Suntec City. Probably the most entertaining lunch I had in my life. People started dismantling their own phones, snatching other phones for music, and then some tension between Korean singers. Eh not bad, cos' got someone else, I think his name is Shao Qing or something; he likes Jessica too. Woot! Then we proceeded to Orchard Cineleisure (back again) for some entertainment. By this time, 3 people had left for home, 2 playing computers and 4 including me playing the XBox 360. We played DOA4 first; Cheng Da and I got owned by the two redheads. Then we played Halo 3. Cheng Da won the Free For All. Finally, WWE. Freaking hilarious. We played Fatal-Four-Way Ladder match. Don't know what's wrong with me. I seemed to have an obvious prejudice against dark-skinned or fat people. And when Jerry played as an wrestler who happened to be dark-skinned and fat at the same time, I rallied the others to beat him up. LOL.
And Jiawei proposed a KTV outing tomorrow. Woohoo!

I can't upload my images. ):

I hate living on the 20th storey. Just this afternoon, there was a bloody tremor and I didn't even have the slightest awareness of it. I was watching videos on my computer, and my eyes were so fixed on the screen that my head shook in tandem with the computer screen. It was when my mother mentioned that the dining table lights were shaking vigorously, then I knew. And imagine having to scurry down 20 storeys with of stairs to climb down during an emergency. ):

***

Sometimes I see the faces of contestants of singing competitions, and I can't figure a thing out. What made them aspire to become a singer? You slog your guts for your earlier half of your life, and spent away your later half of your life luxuriously with the media acting like an UAV reconnaissance. Besides training your voice, grooming your appearance, learning professional ethics of a public personality, you sometimes have to fend off against groundless rumors created by some obnoxious people. Some little trivia: Korea is one of the countries that has the highest number of celebrity suicides. You get unpopular, no label wants you. You get shit ratings, the media start aiming at you. So I am relieved that I have a not-for-singing voice.

***

And I have no idea as to why I suddenly started ranting on trivial things.

2009-09-27T03:56:00.002+08:00

Logged in to NPal, Mel and school mailbox.
My Basic Japanese 102 is accepted! Day not yet known.
My IS - CATS class is T20. Anyone same class with me?
And anybody knows how to select S&W?

***

I watched Heavenly Forest / ただ、君を愛してる, and I cried. It's storyline is way beyond my emotional threshold.

***

The most common mistake that men make is; the failure to identify a girl's beauty and perfection, through an imperfect attitude and personality; just as reflected in the movie Heavenly Forest.

2009-09-23T21:20:00.004+08:00

Watched 'The Ugly Truth' at Orchard Cineleisure with Addison, Clarence, Jessica, Mun Teng and Vanessa. Frankly, I am not an avid fan of romance movies or dramas. But I had to admit that it has some hilarious moments. And the Chinese subtitles are so bloody controlled by the censorship board. Rephrased translations of 'too' explicit words.

***

A good news and a bad news.
Good news: My GPA is enough for an admission to NTU's Art, Design and Media. But mine is within the 10th percentile and 90th percentile. I want to improve and break through the 90th percentile mark. (:
Bad news: Jaebeom left 2PM. Shit man. That b-boy group just lost a good dancer and rapper. Haiz.

Gonna redye my hair to an even intense red within these next few days. LOL. And Jerry better teach me how to style hair. I style hair like rojak.

Happiness...

2009-09-19T18:50:00.004+08:00

Dyed my hair yesterday. Recalling my first hair colouring experience...

.....

I can't find the brand 'schwarkopf' that Jerry recommended me to buy and can't find the colour I want from the brand with animes decorated on their boxes. So just bought whatever that appeals the best to me. I bought the recently advertised in television; the Japanese bubble hair colour, 'Liese' Cassis Berry.

.....

I mixed the two solutions together and shook it. Seems easy and innocent, but when dispensed as foam, IT STINKS. I swear that this may be the stinkiest smell I have ever smelt in my whole life. It's so stinks that it hurts my eyes. But overall it's fun though, since it's in foam form, you can play with it while waiting, and you can know that part of your hair will not be coloured if it's not covered in foam. I wanted an overall even colour, so I used almost the whole bottle on my hair.

.....

I am satisfied with the result, for a first timer. There's some hair ends that are still black. Probably missed it, since my hair is so long. After the colouring, my hair turned so rough, that I had to use conditioner after shampooing. I don't really use hair conditioner.

***

My semester results are out. Not good. But at least I passed DWF. Woohoo! And I am so going to IM next year, looking at my POP score. And a big thank you to the person who wished me luck. (:

***

Went to Toa Payoh Polyclinic for my brother's checkup for Outward Bound course. My brother went for blood type test. Seems cool, so I stood in line. LOL. It seems that medical science improved. Years ago when the doctor needs a sample of your blood, he/she will use a regular syringe and suck it out. Now, the syringe turned in to just a tube with a needle at the end, and at the other end is a tube. What it does is blood will automatically rush out to the tube, since the doctor will strap you tightly on the upper arm, to create pressure. Will know my blood type next Thursday.

***

Going out to Orchard Cineleisure next Wednesday for 'Aliens in the Attic'. That Addison thought that everybody he invited to this event can be fooled. He indicated the time slot of 7.20 am to 9.20 pm for the Event in Facebook. But I cannot be fooled. Haha. I will walk to Orchard Cineleisure from home again. Haha.

***

I am writing lyrics. Who knows composition? Can teach me?

***

I know I am not perfect. I am just another ordinary guy. But with extreme amounts of dedication and determination...

2009-09-17T03:44:00.005+08:00

I bought hair dye hours ago. To be on the safe side, I will do the skin allergy test tomorrow. Really damn scared of screwing everything up. I will not go for a haircut probably for months or even years until my hair grows till shoulder length. Then, I might aim for a trip to salon. Will take either a hairstyle of Uruha or Kai.
*
I realized I had listened to IU's first album, 'Growing Up', for at least 10 times. She is the first singer that makes me listen to her songs repeatedly without a tinge of boredom. I daresay that she might be the future acoustic K-Pop queen.
*
I don't know why the hell am I increasing my general knowledge during holidays. Revising Japanese while trying to learn Korean; Currently learning hairstyling, Adobe After Effects, mechanical concept art and songwriting. I am a dead noob at dancing. I can't dance. Seriously.
*
You are already in my memory for 8 years, 9 months and 17 days...

Extreme Makeover...

2009-09-16T03:09:00.003+08:00

Bought 2 Levi's casual T-Shirts and a smart casual buttoned long sleeved shirt. The latter cost a bomb. Gonna buy hair dye later. After opinions from friends, I have decided on a colour already. Dark reddish brown. I damn scared I screwed the whole hair colouring process up. First timer fears...
*
Depends on my mood in the next few days, I may treat my MacBook like a spoilt child. A vinyl skin plus a new laptop bag sounds good.
*
My semester 1.1 results coming out on September 18. According to my premonition, I may fail one module. What to do? Won't go for suicide though.
*
Few days ago, I had the urge to take up Korean as my fourth language. Seems like a pretty good idea to me, since I can cope well with Japanese. But then after my father's words, Korean is not as significant as Japanese. So I decided not to take. I will still learn a bit of it myself though. So I can communicate with Jessica in my dreams... Hahahaha.
*
I realized my chances of getting short-sightedness or myopia is like probably one out of a million. I tested my eyes to their limits. Playing Call of Duty 4 for straight 3-4 hours and then another 3-4 hours of movie marathon.
*
Now I understood the craziness of our POP lecturer, Oran Devilly. All along I thought he was just another crazy game addict that loves Call of Duty 4 so much that he advertises for it in our classes. But that was, until I played it myself. Of course, I am not as crazy as him.
*
After these years... Light shone upon me... I failed to comprehend my outer appearance and my inner personality...

WORST GAY EXPERIENCE

2009-09-07T09:44:00.002+08:00

I swear I had the worst gay experience in my life last Thursday.
We had to record our version of "Gee" by SNSD.
Not surprisingly I got to choose to be Jessica.
Unfortunately, there are far too many feminine actions done by Jessica in the MV.
The one with her winking and finger over the eye. Aww, too gorgeous.
*
Watched Ijimae whole 20 episodes over this weekend.
Still good. Lee Junki is dashing.
*
Changed my blogskin once again.
GazettE is just too great. They are taking over my lifestyle.
*
I had flu since holidays started.
A bad omen?

Boring.

2009-09-01T03:17:00.005+08:00

3.21 AM.
Surfing the net through free wireless at night...
Well to update...
And a gentle reminder: I am not lazy to blog.
It's just that I had to use the crappy slow wireless. And it goes the fastest at midnight.
How I wished the holidays to be shorter.
I like to spend time in school MORE than at home.
Well, to sum up my experiences since my last post.
I had a karaoke session with friends and a hangout at Plaza Singapura.
*
That time at Kbox was so funny. Clarence keep dodging Ethan's camera. And the best thing is that dumb Clarence didn't even know that Ethan's camera was on video mode all the time. Well is like one small room with 10+ people inside. So each of us only manage to sing a couple of songs on average. I sang two. No, to be exact it's one and one fifth songs. Sang 天空 by Jolin and the high pitch parts of Jay Chou's 霍元甲. I want a female falsetto as good as Nick Pitera. Hehe.
Go search "Nick Pitera" on Youtube. He is one gay piece of shit.
*
Addison called at last minute on a day, asking wanna hangout at Bugis. I don't mind though, since it's a stone throw away. Jessica and Zhenru bought something from 77th Street. And then suddenly Addison said wanna go to Newton for job interview. Well, I thought that we hanging out only at Bugis, so I didn't bring my Ezlink card. Upon reaching there, Addison changed his mind. Watched Underworld on Jerry's MacBook while waiting for Ethan and his friend. Then we proceed to Plaza Singapura for dinner. Ate pepper rice on hotplate for the first time. Damn nice.
But it's a little too much on the price though. Then after the pepper rice and conversations on music and Jerry's ridiculous magic trick, we went to window shop. And bla. bla. bla. Back to home about... Erm. I forgot.
*
Hooked on to GazettE's music like a drug addict...
Treated Jung Sooyeon like my wife...
Watched movies like having a marathon...
Ate food like a hungry boar...
Stayed late at night like an owl...
Looked at gory images like a perverted murderer...
*
And still need to be back at school this Thursday for some weird event.
Recording ourselves dancing to some K-Pop songs.
Don't know who really came up with the idea.
If not for the extreme boringness at home, I wouldn't even want to attend.
Well, maybe not.

New Blogskin!

2009-08-19T10:39:00.003+08:00

Don't ask me why this new blog skin is totally in pink.
I fell in love at first sight.
*
Went to Comic Convention 2009 at Suntec City with Jerry, Ethan, Wen Huan and Cheng Yong on last Sunday. Nothing much to compliment, and nothing much to criticize either. And fat people seems to like cosplaying final fantasy characters. I bought a necklace. The amulet hanging from the holster of Vincent's Cerberus. Damn nice.
*
It's all Wen Huan's fault. Now our common group of boys in our class seems to get hooked on to SNSD. In case you are wondering, SNSD is a rising Korean pop girl group. Jessica ROX(: Me, Wen Huan, Ethan and Jerry all changed wallpapers to our favourite girl in SNSD.
Me: Jessica
Wen Huan: Taeyeon
Jerry: Yoona
Ethan: I forgotten. xD. I think it's Yuri.
*
It's seems we are the trendsetters in our class now. Finally whole class watched Advent Children! Yes! Woohoo!

...

2009-08-12T03:06:00.002+08:00

3.06AM.
I am still doing my layout for envelope and name card.
Still haven't edit my past 2DD assignments yet.
Later meeting Ethan, Cheng Yong and Wen Huan at McDonalds for breakfast.
At 9.30AM.
Then we proceed to print and laminate.
I want to kill the guy who complained about laminating.
Maybe I post my works up here later.
A lot of crap. Still improving.
~
Yay! I borrowed Final Fantasy Vii from Cheng Yong.
A 1997 PC game. Imagine the crappy graphics.
And I got addicted to "Kissing You" sung by SNSD/Girls Generation.
Blame Wen Huan.
~
I saw a jumper sold at a collectible store named "Play Imaginative".
It's damn nice, but not the cost. It's bloody 199 bucks.
I got the money, but... well...
Wait till I got a job first.
Meanwhile, I gotta prioritize.
I still deciding whether to buy an A2 portfolio folder.
It's also about 199 bucks. =.=||
~
I want to learn how to style hair!

Getting ready for Exhibition on Friday...

2009-08-08T12:59:00.002+08:00

Today's Saturday.
And yet I am in school doing my school stuffs.
Blame on the exhibition on Friday.
List of stuffs to do:
1. FCP Assignment
2. 2DD Touch-Ups
3. Letterhead Design
4. More than 50 sketches
I am turning less masculine nowadays.
'Cause I start to listen to cute remix songs.
'Cause I start to put cute stuffs on my blog.
'Cause I got a virtual cat on my desktop.

Rewarding Weekend...

2009-08-03T03:31:00.002+08:00

Went to Pulau Ubin on Saturday with Steven to take photos for our assignment. Woke up at 6 and meet Steven at Changi village market at 7+. That f*cker was late. Then we took shots around Pulau Ubin. I got a lot of great close-ups due to the effectiveness of Super Macro. Other than this, there's none other feature of the school camera worth mentioning about. We witnessed one rare scene in Pulau Ubin. There's one particular area littered full of golden leaves - reminds me of an autumn Korea. It's uber breathtaking. I tried doing HDR with 3 images I took on that scene, and the result looks shitty. My legs are fascinating short; I have difficulty riding a bicycle. And we when departed for home after a plate of fried rice and 3 cans of drinks and a barking mad restaurant waitress, I slept almost right away at home.

Woke up on Sunday at 12.30pm. After lunch, I went on my weekly routine: Shopping Centre Hopping. Saw many things that I yearn to possess. And finally I bought my very first iPod Classic!
Yay!

Hyper-Activity.

2009-07-27T20:47:00.002+08:00

FCP in the morning. Agus told us to do a mind map using Freemind on Career roadpath. He was explaining in such detail that everyone thought that this must be a ssignment that supposed to be handed in today. Near the end of the lesson, he tld us that this is just a guide and there's no need to pass it up. WTF.
Eaten McDonalds for lunch. An upsized Double Filet-O-Fish meal with an apple pie. I am still hungry...
Went Botanical Gardens in the afternoon to draw. I drawn and coloured a commonly found flower with some leaves. No idea what's the plant called. Then suddenly rain falls and all of us had to gather at a pavilion. I went on to do my POP assignment.
At 6 pm, I accompanied Wen Huan and Cheng Yong to the bus stop, then went to Mun Teng, Soffian and Haikal. They bought drinks from Starbucks and walked home. I actually walked to home all the way back from Botanical Gardens. It's a 2.5 hours trip. Haha.
There's another IS presentation tomorrow and bursary award ceremony the day after. And yet I am still energetic.
No, it's nothing to do with Ribena or Red Bull.

Relationships?

2009-07-21T10:25:00.002+08:00

I have seen so much how relationships affect humans in blogs, facebook and everywhere else.
Guys hurting girls; betrayal, superficial relationships, etc.
So, my question is:
What are relationships?
Relationships are virtual psychological devices between two or more parties that link with each other. They are VIRTUAL.
Yet they are so powerful to affect the thoughts of humans. Sadness, grievances and whatever.
Sometimes it's just better off to void all thoughts of relationships.
SO don't feel offended when I am cold towards some people. It isn't intentional.
I can smile, laugh, tear and cry like any other human. And I'm straight. Hahax.

CRAZY PHOTOSHOPPING.

2009-07-18T00:50:00.002+08:00

Today woke up energetically. Haha.
But still with flu.
Today's DPH was fun.
Not because of Mr Seow; it's because of my sudden streak of cheekiness.
There's this yugioh card generator on the net. I played with it.
I created one for Steven, one for Clarence, one for both Steven and Clarence, one for Cheng Yong and one for Yun Xiang.
Totally ownage. I mean with the help of photoshop, my craziness and Jerry's brilliant humorous ideas.
I'm not putting up on blog; I'm don't want to be sued. Haha.
Decided Pulau Ubin as our destination for our DPH assignment: Photo Story. With Steven and Wen Huan.
And I realized I cannot use Thompson for nuts. In Call of Duty 2. My shotgun and sniper skills rocks socks.
Steven and Wen Huan kept walking past my scope. Teehee.
Agus ruined my day. He called me at 4 plus to tell me I have to redo Lesson 4: Writing Critical Review. The reason: my critical report was analyzed by SafeAssign, and it turned out 51% of my document was plagiarism. WTF.
I put one freaking detailed reference list at the bottom. And now I must redo.
I seriously turning nocturnal now. I slept at 5 am two nights ago.
Yeah. That's about it. And I'm not sleeping early tonight.

A Gaming Viral Infection...

2009-07-14T08:08:00.002+08:00

Yeah. Yesterday our class turned into a gaming den.
Yun Xiang got Call of Duty 2 in his computer.
He was playing alone initially.
Then Ethan Joined in.
Then Cheng Yong;
Then Wen Huan;
Then me;
Then Jerry.
Freaking hilarious FPS matches I have ever seen.
I am blogging during IS now.
It's super boring.
I want to create a design blog now.
Finally a FCP assignment sparked my interest.
Shit. I don't really know my focus interest.
I want to design.
I want to do programming.
I want to create OVA, CGI, motion capture, producing, directing...etc.
ARGH! wtf.

Sick... Still...

2009-07-13T03:34:00.002+08:00

Still awake. It's 3.30AM now.
With a blocked nose and a caffeine boost, I can't go to sleep now.
Torrented a bunch of files.
1. Kung Pao - Enter The Fist (Movie)
2. Mafia City of Heaven (Game)
3. Plants VS Zombies (Game)
Assassin's Creed still at 15%. Damn.
Hope I may be better next morning.

Sick...

2009-07-11T22:49:00.002+08:00

Very ill today; dry hacking cough, continuous sneezing and a totally changed voice.

After doses and doses of cough syrup and ginseng drink, my illness has since alleviated to a small extent.

I tried to print the 8 best photos of Botanical Garden today, for myself, Cheng Yong and Steven. But I went to Sunshine Plaza at 7, and most of the printing shops are closed. The remaining ones that are still open don't print on photo medium.

At least I know I survive past Semester 1. I passed all my modules, but not good passes. Haha.

Don't judge a book by its cover. Beware of Cheng Yong. He can do and say things that probably shock you if you don't know him well.

Ending here.

And oh yeah, watch Kung Pow. Damn funny. Jerry showed me on youtube. Humour redefined.

New blogskin, new poly life, new chances.

2009-07-08T20:33:00.002+08:00

A lot of things happened since the previous post.

My sunburn healed long ago, leaving dark patches on my skin of my forearms and the back of my neck. Aloe vera gel helped a little.

Results of common tests revealed: (not all yet):

POP: B+

FCP: C

Oh my god. I passed FCP. How the hell I did that? I didn't even revise for it. Anyway, for those who don't know how to access your grade result of FCP common test, go to mel, integration (common test) and click the first link. I was a bit disappointed with my POP results. I expected an A. Now left with DPH and DWF for me to fear.

Done my CQ presentation yesterday during IS. Was so bloody worried about my performance plus my nervous system was overreacting. On top of that, the fortune cookies application on Facebook said that Failure is the key to success. WTF. Lucky got somebody to encourage me. I did my scripts last minute and I did the most slides. It's worth the effort. I got 17/20.

I recently got hooked on to using photoshop and drawing anime characters. Probably because of the social influence by my classmates. And Dreamweaver totally sucks shit. Might as well as use TextEdit to create a website.

Now, I am rushing for 2DD assignment like a crazy madman.

Whatever.

Fear...

2009-06-29T19:57:00.002+08:00

Fear upon me...

1. Results of common tests

2. Severity of sunburn

3. Reparation of PSP

4. FCP assignment on Branding

... at World's End.

2009-06-22T22:16:00.005+08:00

The exciting yet tiring journey of a 17 year old in Pulau Ubin for 3 days and 2 nights...

[First Day]

I woke up late and had to rush for time. Took bus number 2 to Changi Village Terminal. Upon reaching Pulau Ubin via boat ferry, we are ordered to do more than 100 pushups. WTF. Firstly, the sun is blazing hot. Secondly, the ground is rocky and scorching hot. Thirdly, we brought only one 1.5L and one 500 ml worth of water. I had depleted my water resources within half a day. Then we had to share water among our camp mates. Then we proceeded to play some boring games. Lunch was okay, greasy white rice with egg, veggies and nuggets under the strong heat from sun. By evening, we had to cook our dinner by ourselves. I didn't really have appetite, hence I ate only a packet of instant noodles. After dinner we had to take part in nightwalk. Without using torchlights, we are supposed to navigate our way through the forest. It's not scary at all. Unfortunately, we had 2 teammates who were so fucking afraid of the dark. I kenna grabbed like one dummy. After the activity, we went to sleep with prickly heat powder all over the groundsheet with mosquito coils placed on corners. Yes, I didn't bathe, change my clothes or wipe myself.

[Second Day]

After 5-6 hours of sleep, I woke up and brushed my teeth. Took some bread with raisins for breakfast. Physical training was vigorous. Ran a few kilometres (at least I think so), done pushups, sit ups, jumping jacks and others. Lunch was HOLY. Our seniors brought us to some restaurant, but then they only gave us 3 dollars budget for each person. There were 7 in our table. So we brought 2 plates of fried rice ($8 each) and 1 plate of lemon chicken ($12). So we had to fork out extra 1 dollar each. Then I ordered 2 cans of drinks. Got some guy in my team drank 5 cans of drinks, then we called him "shui tong" (water barrel). After lunch, our campers' strength reduced from nearly 30 to a measly 9. Haha. All broke camp saying got projects lah, then got other camps lah. All of them can go eat shit. Cannot tahan a bit of camp. Then the 9 of us go super slack for the rest of the camp. Before dinner, we sparred. The rules of this game is like this: There are two teams. One person from each team will spar against each other. In order to win, our senior will say A, B or C. A represents punches, B represents kicks and C represents takedown. I won using mainly A and C. I won one match within 10 seconds using takedown. Damn funny. When our senior said start, this guy started trying to spear me down by grabbing my legs. Mind you, He's only 40 kg while I'm 60. I just pushed a bit to win. HAHA. But my victory lasted short. I was defeated within 10 seconds by another guy by just one kick to my solar plexus. Really hurts a lot. Clarice and Jian Yang got punished. They kenna honey and chocolate sauce all over their body. LOL. ~~Scandalous couple.~~ Nope, I didn't say anything. =P Then we wet ourselves in the nearby beach. FYI, I love being in water a lot. I can stay in water for as long as as I like. So when the others got out of the water already, I was still enjoying myself in the seawater. After dinner, we proceeded back to our bags area. Got one guy was singing 屋顶 then he took up his bag, then suddenly shout "FUCK! TERMITES!". Then we realized below our bags, there was a huge termite colony. We had to change our sleeping area. While walking to our new area, our senior started telling us about what termites are, how they live and behave. Then some people started singing songs. It was about 12.30 am then.

[Third Day]

HOME.

Another bad birthday...

2009-06-19T15:54:00.002+08:00

Although yesterday was my birthday, it was never a birthday for me.

Went to NP for CCA yesterday. The guy I was sparring against kenna owned by me so badly.

There's a 3 day camp starting tomorrow. 3 day 2 night stay at Pulau Ubin. Staying there already bad enough with all the bloody mosquitoes there. What's worse is I cannot bathe during this 3 day camp, and sleep 2 nights without shelter.

AND EVEN WORSE.

MY PSP IS SPOILT.

My PSP "accidentally" submerged in a bucket of water. The whole gadget crashed. And I don't have money now. So cannot repair till I saved enough money. Changing the LCD already at least 140 bucks.

Really, really down on luck. Hours before my PSP is spoilt, I completed torrenting one game called Dissidia: Final Fantasy. This game rocks. I daresay it's better than Crisis Core.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ending here.

"If the world seeks my destruction, it goes with me.", a defeated Genesis, Crisis Core.

Birthday.

2009-06-18T02:14:00.002+08:00

It's already 2 hours and 15 minutes past 12am.

I am 17.

It's not a good thing to me though. A one year advancement in age means more things to worry about, more decisions to handle and more responsibilities to burden.

Somebody wished me happy birthday just now. Mixed feelings.

Been absent on msn these few days. Lazy to log in. I watched lots of fighting scenes in movies just now. A warning to Specialized Discipline Martial Arts: Give up. Mixed Martial Arts is reigning supremacy. MMA is causing faster deaths. Well.... If Bruce Lee wasn't dead.... Haiz.

Wushu: Jet Li owns. (Watch Zhang San Feng) Fast. Fast. Fast.

Street fighting: Jackie Chan owns. (Watch Who Am I) Optimum use of environment.

Grappling: Donnie Yen owns. (Watch SPL) He DDTed Sammo Hung. =)

Submissive: Undertaker owns. (Watch his match versus Edge) Deadly Hellsgate.

If Jerry didn't show me a video on Undertaker using Hellsgate, I don't even know there's such a deadly move exist in wrestling. Hellsgate is a move where the user uses his two shins to lock onto the victim's neck and clutch it tightly, with support of user's arms. This move restricts the movement of the victim's neck, therefore with great pressure, the victim's windpipe and oesophagus will burst. Ah shit.

Few weeks ago, Eric asked me whether I have decided on my specialisation for second year. Interactive Media or Digital Animation? Frankly, I have no idea. Theoretically, my brain is 'geared' to Digital Animation; meaning that I have the inspirations and determination in it.

Tetsuya Nomura is my idol. He works as a character designer and modeler in Square Enix.

But practically, I work better in Interactive Media. My 2DD and POP is so much better than DWF. Ultimately, I will only decide at the end of semester 1.2.

Time crawls...

2009-06-14T22:44:00.000+08:00

Today is just another boring and slacking day. Woke up at 1 pm.

Only had a meal today. I was never that serious about my physique.

Until Gackt appeared in my life. Haha.

Returning to NP tomorrow for Ninjado training. Not excited at all.

I may not turn up on Friday's class gathering for barbecue. There's camp. ):

Meanwhile, I have a hunch that I will turn emotional again.

2009-06-13T01:05:00.000+08:00

I am bored. These 3 words explain the existence of this blog. Enough said.

Today, I will explain my character, attitude and everything else.

I'm a boring person by appearance. Many will agree with me on this.

Nope. That's untrue.

Actually, I speak as little as I can. We are born with two ears, two eyes, two nostrils and only one mouth. I can chat a lot if I want to. Only if: One, I feel very comfortable with the person I speaking to; and Two, I don't have a bad mood at that point of time. I am an introvert; I admit. Damn.

I am a Final Fantasy VII freak.

Yep. Not freak though. Just hardcore about it.

So what's so good about FF7? Unique and gripping storyline. Well-made real-like characters. Everything in FF7 has a reason. Cloud's hair, costume, weapon and attitude were created, and with reasons. Sephiroth is one of top ten fictional villains in many game websites. FF7 franchise lasted from 1997 to 2009. It has produced a mobile phone game, a PC game, a PS2 game, a PSP game, a short animation, a DVD CGI movie and a Blu-Ray CGI movie. Seriously, FF7 is way better than Bleach, Hellsing or whatever anime out there. I cried, I laughed and I was amazed at FF7.

Pro-Japanese?

Very true.

Japanese people ROCKS. They invent brilliant ideas. They invent smart robots, they have delicious cuisine, they have pretty girls and funny guys, they got good brands like Sony and they got good TV shows. Go search 'Gackt', 'Batsu game', 'japanese pranks', and you will know what I mean.

This world is materialistic.

Yes.

All problems happened on humans were started initially by humans themselves. SARS, bird flu and H1N1 are created by humans. Global warming caused by exhaust from cars, deforestation and use of aerosol. And yet humans want everything. Money, fame, power, beauty and everything else. I am materialistic too, but only to a little extent. I strive for perfection. And that's an indication of materialism.

Ending here.
