All this coughing is making my eyes hurt. At least storyboarding's done, now to video editing.

6 pack

That's what this damned cough is gonna get me. I wonder how many time I've cramped up my stomach the last few days. I can already feel the ache. Argh. And I haven't started on video editing yet. Great.

We spoke

I'm wondering if I can finish that 20 storyboards by Monday, and the editing by Tuesday. So far I haven't started on editing and only done 6 frames for STOPP. Shit.

The general consensus is that that's not the way to go. But I'm feeling otherwise. For once am I right when everyone tells me that's left?

For the first time.

Suaning. I learnt the true meaning of that word yesterday and boy was it fun. It was also Eddy's birthday and we celebrated by going to Pizzahut for dinner. Cheese + anything = Awesome.

Ok I'm done, 5:56am now and I have to go draw the rough 'preview' of my storyboards.

Lately I've been wanting to draw a human portrait, more specifically, a closeup of a face. Someone's face, anybody's face. I want to try make it as super detailed as this guy does: http://aramismarron.deviantart.com/

Of course I won't reach his standard in one shot, but I'm willing to give it a try. All I'm lacking right now is a boost of energy and a model/photo. Anyone have any suggestions?

Omg Cheryl listens to Muse! Freakin awesome, coz that means that we can play some Muse on the keyboard in school. Hysteria spammage ftw. On other news, went with Ubin and his friend and Shuhui to Deviantart meeting at the Merlion. Nothing really interesting, just some updates on what's new that's coming to Deviantart. Could easily have been showcased online, instead of showing it to the crowd on a single laptop and on a hot and humid day. An 'exhibition' showcasing some top Deviant's artwork would have been pretty cool. Oh well. Having second thoughts, but... meh.

Oh and we got back our group reports, and we scored an A. Apparently we did the best in the class. Woot =)

For exercise 1 of Stopp. Too much effort? Maybe, but good practice. 2b pencil, 3 hours.

The song just had to play at THAT moment eh

Today was fun. Spamming Hysteria on the keyboard and learning it on the guitar. Awesome. Celebrating Janice's birthday and playing GH3. Long time since I been there, too bad I had no chance to try out Killzone 2, but hey, GH3 was fun. Long time since I played that too. Short entry eh.

I guess beauty IS in the eye of the beholder

Hugh Jackman is a sexy beast. That being said, the movie wasn't. It wasn't that bad, but not fantastic too. I expected to see more of Wolverine's origins, more specifically, his experiences in all the different wars along with his relationship with Sabretooth. Instead, they skimmed through the different battles and past experiences to get to the main storyline. Considering the time constraint, I guess it wasn't their fault, but wouldn't it be cool to see Wolverine and Sabretooth in France ripping apart the German army? Or maybe taking part in the gulf war, just as seen in the comics?

I'm no expert in camera angles, but some of them were weird to me. Ok, maybe not weird, but not what we usually see. Zooming in on a truck from high above and moving foward at the same time? It didn't feel right at the time. Plus the exact camera angle for two different scenes when the truck rolled by left me wondering if they could've done something different. I like Deadpool a lot, a pity so little screen time was given to him. Considering he became the big boss at the end. Who got decapitated. Oops, spoiler, but who cares? Not like anyone actually understands that the ugly dude with the stitched lips is actually Wade Wilson. If you're not into Marvel and mutants, you probably won't understand different characters' roles in the movie as opposed to the comics. "Omg is that the son?"--Cheryl. "I know who that is! Jean Grey!"--Again, Cheryl. Of course, wrong on both counts.

Missed BBQ to go movie, too bad I can't have the best of both worlds. I really wanted to see Cheryl drunk and get a little high myself. Just a little. Oh well, tomorrow is another day, and the day after that, starts a new block. And so ends Consumer Lifestyle Research, which went pretty well. Glad that MeiSin praised us for being the best group. Time to hand out the 'A's yo.

It's 0416. I went to sleep at 0320? And what a torturous one hour it was. Especially at the end of it. My imagination was going wild all along, getting wilder and wilder. No, not in a kinky way, but rather horrifying. I kept thinking of that face, then I rolled over, thoughts about (y) and what my suspicions, about how you know that I know that you know. Then the noise. Damn, the NOISE. Voices. Genie. Hearing Zhiyong's laughter. Hearing him talk. It was overwhelming, so overwhelming that I decided to get up. But to my horror, I couldn't. Sleep fucking paralysis. I tried to open my eyes- Too heavy. Move my hands- can't feel them. Aha! Wriggle my toes. That should work, right? It usually works. No, it always works. Except for today. It worked only after I wriggled for what seemed like forever while the voices were getting louder and Louder and LOUDER. Then I got up.

/rant.

Peter freakin Parker

What it says

2nd movement of the oddysey

Happy? Sad? Opportunity? Problem?

2 months seems like a long time.

Anyways, went to work with Kenny just now at Outram. Started work 'officially' at 12pm, and 'officially' ends at 4. Why the ''s? Well because we ended at 1:15. We did our jobs fast- no, very fast. And we ended early. So who's to blame? Heheheh. Kenny says he's a complex character. I think I am too. Or not, I don't even really know myself. But we've got the same goals: Girlfriend by end of year. Unlike his 'Go with the Flow' mentality, I think a lot about this strange XX chromosome species. Like a lot. And I have one in mind, but I wouldn't be surprised if things don't work out. Shocked? Bet you are. Why am I typing all these information? Maybe it's the Baileys from my fridge? But I only had a little to drink. Or did I? Plus the fact that this blog is dead. Dead in the water. Buried in a coffin. Nothing but ashes and dust.

Mother's day message was good, I just wish Dad and Mum had brought along relatives, it was really good.

Signing off,

your mom
















wait what?

-Edit- 100th post! Whoo!

When saying Hi isn't enough

I've been getting sucky marks for CLR. And it sucks. But what to do? "More graphics" i guess.

This "ROCK ON" thing is spreading, all thanks to Madeline. I've never met anyone so hyper before. Lol. So many dirty little secrets exposed in our group 'discussion', and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disturbed. Too much information man. A little too much.

Working tomorrow, I hope I can finish up whatever assignments I have by today.

Adapt or die. Unfortunately, the prime examples of those who don't are my parents. I can't really remember how many years they've been in this, but they can't seem to realise the deeper mess they're getting themselves into by not changing. It won't be the truth if I said I didn't care, but it also won't be the truth to say that I haven't become a little numb to all this crap. After all, what's new? Mum plays small, but bit by bit, trade after trade, she gets more greedy. Mum looses money, she doesn't want to cut her losses, so she looses a heck lot more. Dad gets pissed. Mum cries. Mum promises to not get back in this game if she can get out of this mess. Eventually we do get out, but at a loss. Cycle repeats itself. And a huge WTF from me. Hundreds of thousands gone down the drain just like that. Ahh heck.

Space dementia is easier than I thought. Just gotta memorise the chords and that's it.

And finally, what an... awesome-? Ok no, that's not the word... What a shocking and exiting 60 seconds that was. "You don't know the sacrifices I made to come to your fucking class on time. Something something something fucking class" Damn! Yet, however *insert adjective that I cannot think of right now* that was, I cannot say that he didn't step out of line. Everybody has problems, and no matter how bad his were, I'm sure there're people much worse off than him.

Pros: There's a tighter control over it all, much less miscommunication.

Cons: We have to control it all.

Either way, I'm not really complaining. Or maybe I am, but I don't really care. In a good way. Or bad. I don't really care about that too.

On another matter: Dayyyyuuuuuuuuuummmm.

48 hr film fest. Stayed over at a friend's house to gain EXP +1. It was what I expected, computers and cables everywhere, people hard at work editing stuff, some taking a nap and so on. I got to see my senior model and animate a 3d scissors. EXP +1 again lol. This really opened my eyes a little more as to the life of an animator.He spent the whole night animating the scissors and human model, only to have it shown on screen for less than a second. Overall I think they did a pretty good job, having had help from friends at Perth also. Though it was interesting, I don't really see myself doing something like this in the future. Oh well, we'll see how it goes. Maybe next time I'll be animating stuff for projects like these.

Finally exercise 1 is done! Strangely though, I did not sleep till 0530 am and only felt tired at 0515. And I did not need the help of Redbull! Haha, I wish my body would be like that more often, then maybe I'll be able to tahan more school work. School's been pretty fun, and apparently there's someone who looks like me. But I don't agree :/ I guess its gotta do with seeing my own face for 17 years.

*Goes off looking for more Coldplay songs*
