01/09/2010

it's the 1st of september, and merdeka is way past, nothing special, but here are some updates.

1. 1st animation test for koi fish is completed, onwards to 2nd test. Still got a few more other stuff to refine and recreate my demoreel.

2. am visiting IDP today to get some small info on IELTS, bout damn time already, I forgot wat that stupid paper is like.

I just realised 1 thing, after so many years, not sure how to put it but I'm just goign to type this out like it's riddles.

"When other see you as stupid, you're becoming more adapt and getting better at making decisions, when other see themselves very capable of doing alot of things, they actually display horrible capability and lousy attitude, but you show who you really are, when others think damn highly of themself and they are doing a great job, in fact they have no idea what they are getting themselves into, we know the risk we are taking and are prepared. When others tell us we don't know what we are doing, they say we did the worse job ever, in fact we know ourselves like we know our hand and e are actually building our self confidence when others just jump into some hellhole", when others talk to us like they know the whole damn world, they hardly know where they actually been and are just freaking kiasu". When others say you hardly make a good friend, in fact they understand shit about friendship".

damn long line eh? well just a few more things I learned in life and will catch more

1 02 am, midnight and I'm typing out some crap here on any update

1. played starcraft 2 , pirated version , got my pc man to install the game for me lol, and finally finiahed it, I paid Rm 1358 for a new graphics card and upgraded my monitor to samsung HDMI 14" to 22".

the story meets up to it's name, it felt alive the cinematagraphy is indeed good, without thew use of much v tech. oi James Cameron, learn something from blizzard man you hear? you're like a punk amatuer relying too MUCH on CG technology.

I also liked the OST, Original game Score, well orchestrated to fit the story and the flow. they made it epic with just something simple.

if there's something that can be learned from Starcraft 2, well the storytelling wise , use of Cinematography and it's simplicity really give them effort, they still make it look epic on screen. For just neutral point of view, the game idea and story can sell XD

2. been working on my animation test lately for a fish, will make it into a short animation soon when i got my full set design and storyboard laid out now it's just a rough one.

3. Going to Singapore next friday for a 2 nights 3 day visit with Foo and yohan and veng soon XD

9 37 am, just been reading up online news lately, and the latest highlights I read really made me felt abit sorry after I read the article with the link here http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/8/25/nation/6914126&sec=nation

I actually felt sorry for this people that were forced to do begging here even if I felt that they were stupid enough to fall for any small syndicate tricks. why I felt sorry for them was not because they made a stupid decision, it was because some of them were in their late 40's, 50's or maybe near 80's and they arrived in m'sia under false visa's and documents, stripped off what they own, dress in rags like they don't even have any dignity in them and had to beg in m'sia just survive their hard time here.

Some of them have probably been very poor before in their own country that they have to do the same thing here, how would you feel if you went to either rich or poor country and still see yourself begging? it's feels so fucked up right? especially when you're all grown up, your limbs are still able to move, still able to open your mouth to speak and still have the ability to produce electric impulse in the brain and yet allowed such a thing like this to happened to themselves? it's just so fucked up and sad!

normally I would not be bothered bout this matters until it exploded like a nuclear bomb in the star online, starting from bangladesh, pakistan and then finally Chinese nationals from china that landed here claiming they had lucrative job offers! jesus come on la! do you even think a m'sian will fall for that kind of trick? we already have got enough fucking syndicates in this country and cheats that we should not be stupid enough to fall for something like this.

So far this news seem to just makes me feel sad that m'sia has turned into a begging opportunity ground for Indian,Pakistan, Bangladesh and surprisingly Chinese Nationals, so who the hell else is interested in begging in M'sia??! or are you really that poor and stupid as well as physically and mentally uncapable of handling yourself and your life that you got to allow yourselves to let the syndicates control your life and force you to beg that you can't think for your own? fine it's your body! but humans didn't exist in this world for no damn reason! we have brain and body that makes us capable of certain things so for fuck sakes! fucking use it!

next update, the fish character rigging is almost complete with the front 2 tentacle things left to paint weight with final checking before I consider making sketches for pose study. more updates soon XD

8 25 pm, now after sleeping the whole day because of my muscle pain and soarthroat, urgh, now I just need some water and panadol to keep my throat under control.

so here's some update.

1. installed Open Office org 3.2 on my laptop, it's free source so I shud be able to fully use it to type out any documents and change my resume from time to time or even write out out ideas for stories. conditional part is that I have t install Java on my damn laptop 1st then onyl I can use open office, anyway, might as well make copies to my ext hd just in case I need it for future use without dl ing it again.

2. going to continue with character rigging tonight of the koi fish then I can do some playblast 2moro to see how the movement fels and looks like, that make more changes later.

3. Made arrangements to go down to Singapore wit foo and yohan on 3rd september for 3 days and 2 nights, at least we get to do some window shopping there, 1st time we 3 ever gone on vacation.

4. Going to meet up with a friend 2moro, haven't spokoen to him in like 2 months. collect my semester reports and upgrade my AMD 64 Athlon 3d card and monitor as well as obtain a Starcraft 2 from Jian, hopefully I can still make my new demoreel while playing starcraft 2.

20/08/2010

it's 4 46 pm and here I am typing more updates

1. kena singkirkan for real but it's small problem for me, now I'm getting my semester reports and demoreel to be sent over to new zealand.

2. reconnect with some old industry friends that are not only skilled at their jobs bt really nice ppl to talk to and work with.

3. do more reading on industry articles to build my understading rather than assume I know everthing, it's always better to start learning from somewhere.

4. make my new animated short that probably has no title other than a rig and re make my demoreel.
