Happy Birthday Steff

Happy Bleated Birthday and Happy Coming Halloween to Steff!

Happy belated birthday to Steff. Trick or Treat in Halloween. Did this for quite some time and now only feel like posting it. So, hope u will like it. Neh, btw u not gonna browse my blog though.

So long didn't upload anything on my blog. My recent status is, I got myself into Facebook but found it super boring. -___-lll Just watched Pandorum. It was nice and out of my expectation, it is way so different from the impression of the poster. Recommend anyone who like zombie kind of movie to take a look. Burried under assignment at the moment and I just used $100+ last week. Emoing...... Well, hope this week will be better.

Some Weird Thoughts 2......

So, I was having some weird thoughts when I was having my dinner at a burger stall. I saw the burger guys work and work and work and serve the customers. Poeple might just say that these dude are just making little money by selling foods because they didn't went through proper education. I however felt kinda envy to their life but at the same time fear that this is gonna be my future. Sound stupid, huh? Well, let see this in this perspective:

Our life seems to be much more challenging and fulfilling compare to these burger men. But at the same time, , we students of design are dealing with both stress and competition.We are making money by stressing ourselves and race with time. Of course I understand that our path are significantly different, still I always have this thought of "why can't the making of animations be as simple as making burgers?" Haha, this is funny! My mum is a coffe shop runner and I used to work in the shop for quite a time. Maybe the reason why I have such a thought is all because of my past experiences of working in that coffee shop. I must say, it was quite relaxing (mentally not physically) to work in a coffee shop as there are not much limitation compare to works in office.

Like I said, I also kinda fear this is going to be my future. We live in a society with levels. People in upper level works in office, while lower level work in "Mamak" (no offence please). I've been working hard to get myself to the upper level and I sacrificed alot just to fulfill my dream. The problem is, I always get emotional and frustrated if things ain't not following my plans. These are the time when I wish I can just be a Mamak man. Haiz, kinda lame......

Well, these are just some weird thought and please do not take serious on it. Kaka!

Be Grateful and U Will be Better

These days, I found myself trapped in a state of "not so progressing". My footsteps are getting slower and slower and I somehow miss my days in the previous semester. I mean the semester when I was in the year of foundation. Ok, so, far until here you must be thinking, "ah, he complain again!" Read if you are comfortable with the topic else just ignore it.

I noticed, going to classes ain't as fun as it was back to the days. I was being optimistic toward almost every thing in the school. I'm a art student. Maybe it was because I was a total beginner for design and I was filled with great passion in doing my works and so was to meet my friends. Put it in this way, U give candies to a kid. Day by day, the taste of candy just ain't not changing much and yet the kid grow up and he learned. Soon he will find himself not liking it and he understand there are much better and sweeter candies out there which he had not taste before. I'm in that kind of situation at the moment (sorry for the lame metaphor).

Since life is getting "ciplak", I found myself a way to make life easier and funnier. Be grateful to the knowledge that I had learned in the school. I may not be attending the best classes ever, but at least I'm still on the track, seeking for my dream. I watch back my previous semester works when I was in the display room while doing my interview with the MQA people. I saw most of my works there. Though I have the copy but, I never browse. I saw my improvement. Really, for the first time, I am going to say this, I'm becoming better. I did not travel far, but the track and traces I made during the adventure is telling me "I'm working fine and steady".

Some Weird Thoughts......

Well, as usual, I did my assignment until very late this morning. I was kinda dizzy while handling the 3D thingy. It was a walk cycle animation for your information...... While doing this animation, my mind was somehow wondering around in my memory box a.k.a brain looking for some pieces of my childhood. I was happy while doing so as I thought of some funny thing I did with my bro...... but then, my mind went to the darkside, and I thought of all of my childhood and secondary school friends. to be very honest, i have lost most of my friends who I once call them pal. They are now nowhere to be found and even if I manage to see one, he or she might just give me a "do I know u" look. Well, I guess this is how we should go on. I now wonder if these university friends of mine would do the same years after the graduation. It's kinda hard to believe that friends next to you now might walk pass you as a total stranger. I could hardly imagine it. What I thought of now is like a melodrama of real life. Eventually, all of us will leave each other and will be too busy to even greet each other. After all, human ain't as humanity as they are said to be.

So, how about friends from net?

Coraline

Coraline By Benry Selick

Directed by Henry Selick, Coraline is truly an epic animation after Nightmare Before Christmas. Just a day ago, I watched this awesome animation along with my house mate. The first impression was, Wow, so Tim Burton. The style and settings are basically stuffs you will see in Tim Burton's production. However, the creepy plot is brilliant, and compare to Tim Burton's production, Coraline actually have a better story telling and it won't give away emptiness during the story. I like this animation very much and I have to say the style is what attracted me most. Those stop motion animations are just too nice to be animated. Well, I know those are 3D animation actually. The opening was awesome! The sewing hands and doll are just as creepy as the poster is. I can hardly find any bad comment for this animation from myself. The only thing that was lacked was the ending part. It was kinda too hasty, and I really want to know what happened to the The Other Mum.

Coraline, a good animation for people who like Nightmare Before Christmas.

Moon Cake Festival

So, yesterday was the Moon Cake Festival, Mid Autumn Festival or watever u call it. Me and my house mates spent a meaningless night without doing any significant things. I didn't even went to check out the moon. Lame...... Well, at least we had some, I mean very little moon cakes. I didn't go back Seremban due to some assignments. What a waste. My computer, again VIRUSED, due to some unknown auto updates, which mean I have to format again...... I hate format but sometimes, format bring some joy at least u will feel that, hey, my PC is getting faster or so on. I just hate to reinstall all those programs and softwares again. I hoping to upgrade my OS to Window 7 as I heard it's faster and less consuming RAM. Hope nothing bad gonna happen during the formating, else I'll be dead meat...... =_="

An Oasis

Yesterday (technically it was like few hours ago), I went out with Steff, Robin and Jade to IOI Mall. By right, me should be sitting down right in front of my computer and work on my assignments, but the feeling of being bored and locked made me and Jade feel like let's give it a break after one week of works. We went to IOI Mall right after the class, and we had a really filling lunch. We ate in a suppose to be Korean food restaurant (but the foods have nothing to do with Korea), Seoul Garden. It was a buffet and it was quite cheap after the student discount and we also had our chance to make our very first Ice Kacang. After the lunch, we went around and Robin bought a few games, then only we went to Robin place. Me and Jade were welcomed by the new member of Robin's family, Damien (hope I spell it right). He was a "little" black dog with short hair, and the tail whipped when it swung. And we finally saw the three new born kitten. They cute and Jade just couldn't let go of them from her hands. Since Robin and Stef were exhausted, they took a nap while me and Jade watch movies. Then, at night we went makan again. On the way back to Desa, I had a great stomachache, and the damn bus driver didn't drive us into Desa, instead, he just dumped us at the roadside, ended up we have to walk like 20 minutes and finally we were home. I hate Rapid KL after the raise of bus fee. Stupid Rapid company!
