"How extraordinary!"

2011-01-14T07:03:00.000-08:00

1st week of the school wasn't bad at all as i thought! Maybe its just me that always been predicting things that i couldn't careless. Had orientations for the junior last monday to Wednesday. I kinda feel bad for my team member tho. For a shy guy or maybe half but not fully anti social guy like me who wouldn't dare to voice out and entertain the new students. It just plain useless for me to be their ;l But i kinda like it when i play those ice breaker games with them tho.

Talking about juniors. I mean Vsc juniors, they were kinda interesting. When i was observing them. Its just like a deja vu to me. Some of them kinda have the same personality as my classmate. Kinda wish to pull some of them harder if they wish to haha. Wouldn't it be awesome?! But sadly i dont think i could fork out any time as some of my classmate need a help and i gotta complete my plans which is kinda importance..

Prepress class was a bomb + Kaya toast + cat screaming class for me. Its not a mess but its a mess in a good way. Having my new lecturer Mr roy was kinda interesting. He maybe serious and could gave me a good laugh in the next moment. His first assignment was to create a postcard within the time limit of 3hours. Which is a pain in the ass for me. Not about the time limit its just that im lack of research/concept what ever you call it! Can't blame it on my cca though. Its my responsibility to complete what i sign up for! Anyways talking about the assignment. It was a huge disaster for me to choose this background and text. Kinda felt im kinda too use to my 4 or a week time deadline. Maybe its time for me to be realistic on deadline.

Art is like masturbation because it is self-centered, and when you have too much of it, you'll have your strength sapped and get crazy.

I AM A HUMAN BEING NOT A FUCKED UP MACHINE.

BOOHOO FOR DEAD COMPUTER.

My destop is dead.

2010-11-26T06:27:00.000-08:00

Hi readers, my computer is dead and i cant do any graphic design or what on this netboook except using paint to draw... I'm pretty sad that all my assignment files from the beginning of the year are gone except the recent ones. But it's okay im gonna do a better job sooner or later.

Anyways I'll be getting a part time job this december holiday. Not gonna even think twice of getting a job in design related work. I'm gonna take one step at a time or maybe i should do some drawing portraits freelance. Gonna save $500 for my cpu and make magic happens again.

Oh yea these days i have been reading some books which is freaking awesome in a way that is so inspiring and teaches me how to be an awesome graphic designer. No im not reading design award books. Thats a no no for me. I need some soul searching book. I'm trying to avoid design book as much as possible and lecturers showcasing 2nd year works. Its such fuck up feeling seeing so many nice work my senior have done. Its like a downhill for your ego and yourself. So i NEED to avoid inorder to make me feel less shitty.

Major exam presentations.

2010-11-18T06:23:00.000-08:00

Ugh. I'm probably speechless now that i don't even know what am i suppose to write about!
Last Tuesday was my presentations for my major assignment. I'm quite upset about my feedback from Miss Tan.
It isn't about the grades. She utterly told me my lady gaga look like a prostitute. I mean i don't really like hate her saying that but i actually took alot of time illustrating it from head to toe.
It would be better if she could tell me days before. It really hit me really down. Its feel as if you lost something you commit for days. She say she love those borders just dislike that prostitute. I'm probably not sure if i'm being too cocky or maybe she doesn't really like the circus theme concert and my concept.

So when i ask Mr lius(my ceramic and drawing lecturer) for advice.. He told me it wasn't that bad. And told me lots of idea. So i was wondering if i NEED to change it or not. He told me what if your art director ask don't like your concept? Are you not going to change then lost your job?! If you think its nice then don't change. But i'm not the one marking it so i suggest you to change or not depending on yourself. At that point i totally lost myself.

Remembering Mr Hairul(2nd year teacher) told me before that i have to do something that shouts me. Something my style. Something robin. Gosh I'm so lost right now that i could die any moment! And i don't really wanna mess up my major assignment. I don't wanna ruin my chance of getting bursaries.

Oh yea. Sorry for having my temporary trademarks on the pictures.
One particular classmate of mine is a graphic stealer.
Which i hope ms tan and other teachers don't blindly mark his work as if its his.
Not saying he steal my graphic or anything,
Just incase ;)

2010-10-20T07:51:00.000-07:00

Teehee.
I know i 've been using this illustrations..
But I completed 2 illustration on my sketch book but..
The thing is i doesn't seems to have time transfering it and digital it.
And recently i just get so much inspirations on bus ride
that i draw and focus until like a emo depressed bitch.
Probably cause when i draw i tend to squin my eyes.
Maybe that just me..

ohyea.. Soon you will get sick of seeing this after i illustrate her.

And soon you will notice some of my classmate drawing it on their sketchbook.
And soon it will become common.
And soon my new ideas come.
And it just goes round and round like cycle.

Guitar fail.
Hair wins.

There's a possibility i wouldn't know.

2010-10-01T07:15:00.000-07:00

So i guess today wasn't a productive day.. Spend the whole morning looking for tutorials and stuffs till i get too much inspirations.

Oh yea lets talk about sketchbooks today.. I saw tons of sketchbook today(online). I utterly felt dam lousy. Comparing my doodles to them, mine was dam dirty, shitty, crappy what ever you call it! Too much empty space and it just don't look like a proper sketchbook.

So according to my observations.
My sketchbook is lack of
-COLOUR
-Inspirations cuts
-Cleanliness
-Pattern
-Typography
-Character
-Thoughts

I'm so excited on improving sketchbook!
KTHXBYE

What does it mean if a cat comes into your home?

2010-09-23T08:07:00.000-07:00

Answer:

It means nothing, I'm sure people say it means bad luck but its not true its only bad luck when you give it the power for it to be bad. Just think people own cats everywhere and nothing bad happens. So it means nothing.

Answer:

It could mean they smelled food in your house and were attracted to it, or they are looking for a warm place. Cats like very warm places. Or they could be looking for a mate, if you have or have had a cat in your home before that they can still smell the scent of. Or it could just be the curiosity of cats; they like to explore new places.

Answer:

In my opinion, I think it means that it is either hungry or it a sign that it needs a home. If it did actually happen to you, then give it a home. But if you hate cats, find someone that will love it.

Answer:

It probably is a female cat. The cat may be pregnant and needs a warm cosy place as shelter for itself and for its offsprings.

Oh kitty why were you afraid when i come..

How.

2010-09-22T10:20:00.000-07:00

How much is too much?

How little is too little?

Photography lesson is really draining me out.Not saying it is boring or what but i think there's something we are lack off. Not about the lecturers but i think its more on its facilities.Tho most probably we're having the best equipment but theres just too little time for us to use.
-Imagine you got 28 classmate sharing 2 studio, 1 for portrait shoot 1 for product shoot.
-Imagine it takes 40-50mins for a person to get a perfect shoots on each stations.
-4hours of class a day.
It will take ages for you to shoot~! Oh yea not forgetting the distractions probably you need to wait 1hours for each person to shoot. Some are just too nasty that they would come back again and again after they have finish shooting and at the end of the day you don't even have the chances to shoot. You can't blame them as they're your classmate so what you would do?

Hi, today was a shity day.

2010-09-09T08:28:00.000-07:00

Sometimes it just sucks..
To know i cant do a single shit and cry here.
Everything is just so fucked up.
Souless..
Speechless..
But i will make things happen and make you proud.
thanks and sorry for everything.

whats wrong with waving goodbye at strangers?!

2010-09-04T10:02:00.001-07:00

When i press the bell for the next stop, this little girl waved goodbye to me.
When i was about to wave back, her mum scolded her.
Scold her for being a rude or something.
It just make me sad.
not for not waving back, but sad that her mum scolded her when she is being friendly or nice.
Parents do spoil their child brains sometimes...
arrogance , ego whatever shit you call it
i hate it..

When They Fight ,They Fight !

Saw this pic while ransack my folders

don't need to be ;) when im not.

2010-08-29T10:47:00.000-07:00

i don't need you to ask what happened.

i don't need sympathy..
i don't need a pat on my back and telling me things are going to be alright.
i don't need fake laughter when you're sad.
i don't need you to be with me if you're afraid you might probably be like me sooner or later.
i don't need temporary nor infinity.
all i need is you being with me.

Say hi to lobster :(

Say hi to my besties.

2010-08-15T17:35:00.000-07:00

Hello,
Things are going pretty well for me these days.. I totally now finally realise the importance of my best friends. They're really sweet and nice and have always been there for me. esp riley ;) Last friday was the most awesome night ever! Digging for a pair of shoe for myself with riley in bugis. Lost my hope so we went to window shop instead! Avriel come after that. And we had some heart to heart talks. I finally realise why i likes to be friend with girls than guy much better because they tend to care and not to give a damn about it. I know some of my guy friends do but i just felt difference. Strangers might think im gay or sissy hanging out with girls but i don't mind.
Who say straight guys cant have girls as their best friend? It doesn't make any sense right? True best friend will be there for you all the time. Not smacking your butts and lieing to make you kinda happy?!
Omg i think i better stop. I felt that like i'm lius(my lecturer) now.
P/s sorry for my horrible english.

Ciao.

Self-reliance.

2010-08-05T07:10:00.000-07:00

Hi,
I've been very unhealthy recently..
Selfish or peer pressure or whatever you call it.
So today is the start of my Digital imaging assignment 2.
As i was discussing with my new teacher steven.
I realised something bad about myself.
Something that really a normal human wouldn't think of it.
I really hate myself for having this type of fear.
It always makes me feel frustrated when someone keeps staring and digesting on how i do things.
Fearing that they would do the same thing as me.
I know im being selfish but it just gets me really mad.
Even if they are interested in how i do stuff they should do research on how its done.
Instead of stealing my resources and the time and idea i have put on it.
I remember luis told me its good to share good stuffs with friends.
If the person is my close friends then it's okay.
But he is just a hi bye friend.
In fact i don't agree with luis' words.
I felt that humans should be self-reliant.
Guess no one will never felt the same like i do.

Je ne suis pas votre source d'inspirations..

2010-07-31T09:17:00.000-07:00

Hello friends,
How's the week going for you?
This week has been a crazy week..
Cant be bother to talk about whats happening in class as its too chaotic.
I kinda hate the way it is now. Its bloody plain stupid or a no brainer.
Everyone use to be so original now some seems to find their "inspirations" on their own classmate.
Not saying its not a good thing to find your inspirations but you inspire and do the same extact thing that the person you inspire do.
Its bloody sickening and ridiculous ok!
If its just a tiny little bits its okay but completely? Its a no!
One worst instead of helping other people with their works after S/he finish the work.
It goes around the class seeing others people work and maybe pretend and act like a fake bitch say its nice.
And i always get annoyed by some bastard who always come and see whats im up to for like 5 times or more.
Its just give me a feeling that you're insecure with your works.
I may sound like a fucker now buts its the facts.

P/S. not refering to anyone from my click and friends i talk to.
P/S. if you think its you. i can't be bother. maybe you did.
P/S. this is not a hate post.
P/S. not happy? suit you. bitch about me to other? suit you.
At the end of the day you're still what i mention above.

Hi, do you have piles?

2010-07-22T08:50:00.001-07:00

Do you? Cause my friends and I kept embarrassing one another with that :) it’s seriously the best joke we've ever come to! Btw weather is awesome today! I love rainy days, when the sun sleeps so my bloody skin wouldn’t feel so roasted. School was just plain boring today! First assignment of the semester is so interesting but yet so complicated! I seriously hope I could get a camera as soon as possible! I got a damn ultra cool concept but the pictures are hard to find so I need to take it personally! Hate this irritating feeling - you want to do something but unable to because you lack of the important things. So I came out with << concepts. I think it’s pretty simple yet brilliant! But I’m going to touch up more and make it perfect. Oh yeah, I hate people who goes around getting “inspirations” but in the end, all they do is copy others’ work. They take your works’ idea and just edit a bit, then call it ‘their work’. Fancy calling yourselves designers? Bullshit! It pisses me off so fucking bad. Oh well. They can copy all they want now, but in future, they won’t go far. Totally no sense of originality. I would love to see how far they would be successful in future. Ugh, why am I saying all these anyway? They won’t realise their mistakes no matter how much I say. So I think I should stop whining. Bye

My first ever client :)

2010-07-21T10:08:00.001-07:00

O.M.G. finally a confirm client :) I'm dam ultra happy !! Haven had this kind of feeling for a long long time. It feel like how you get your first handphone/pager! All along i thought she was just intrested but not serious!! But thats make me happy outta 5 emails finally one doesn't waste my time. I guess its hard for some client to choose me to draw as im still studying... An author email me to draw an cover page for him.. and after 11 email and say he said confirm guess what?! He mia.. Some was just wondering how much i charge and stuffs. I didn't expect that much so i guess this girl was also one of them who was just wondering and stuffs! But it turn out great! I'm so bloody excited on my own assignment! till then bye ..

Birthday wishes for an oily face!

2010-07-20T08:54:00.001-07:00

18th Birthday.

2010-07-19T08:47:00.001-07:00

Today was indeed the most unforgetable birthday ever. :) School was awesome today but wasn't really happy about it as some of my friends went go f1 training shit. Gosh, seriously i hope they can change their mind.. Although the pay was good but i hope they can focus on their studies more. I'm really afraid if they can't cope with the stress then they start to think of quitting school. Hopefully they chose what is best for them :) As long as they're happy i'm happy!

Photoshoot was great today, riley, calvin, nurl , elly and me took alot of weird stuffs like green shit which is damn smelly when i try to take a picture of it. I Seriously had to hold my breathe to take it , lol. So we went around school taking some nonsense stuffs.. Seriously my partner damn damn damn got the ''feel'' to take pictures. She found everything soooo interesting haha! cute right ?! Then afterawhile, we got bored! hence Calvin told us to take a jump shot! And damn bloody ass! my pants tore while i jump! its so bloody retard.. The size is about half of the crotch?! damn paiseh ! I thought it's the worst thing that happen to me in my life but i couldn't help myself laughing at my own. Somemore when it tore it gave a loud tear sound which is bloody funny! And you wouldn't wanna know how i hide it.. Oh yeah i think bff and me have a bad day! She tore her shoes + broke the UV filter. Alamak. Guess its fate . I pass my birthday curse to her/ :C

Lazy to blog the other half day byebye.

Update in a short while.

2010-04-08T12:08:00.000-07:00

Van Gogh was born in Holland in 1853. He worked at many jobs, such as at an art gallery, a school, a bookstore, as a preacher, and at last, he became an artist. He didn't have a very happy life. He painted sad paintings with poor people in them. His paintings were always very dark until he saw some colorful Japanese paintings. Then Van Gogh started painting happier paintings. Most of his work was in the Postimpressionist style.

One day, he moved to live with his brother because he was unhappy where he lived, and he wanted to find someone to paint with. When he finally found someone, he wished he hadn't. Van Gogh and the other artist did not get along. After this, Van Gogh became so sad that he cut part of his ear off!

After these things happened, he painted one more gloomy painting. It was called Wheatfield with Crows. After he finished it, he shot himself.
