ReviewS

ReviewS!!
-
Here I am, missing in action for a few days and god knows,
how many people have forgotten me in life.
(Well actually I got two new guys in my friendster list now. Lolx.
That comes up to 39!! Well…still pathetic, I wonder where all my lost friends go.)
Anyhow, I’ve been busy working on my soon-to-be-history job
out in the nothing but hot country; INDIA (its actually a nice place. =] )
This wonderful country has sells affordable (SG$2) and good magazines
that provides free CDs/DVDs with softwares and lots of stuff.
Thus, below mentioned are two of them which I have tried out.
Well, the rest that are not mentioned SUX.
-
(Note: One will only be able to do such reviews base
on the below mentioned 2 situation;
(1) You dun have a life
(2) You refuse to sleep even at 01:00am in the morning
Either way, I happened to belong to both, tough life)
-
Adobe GoLive CS2
-
Seems like Adobe is targeting the creative market.
The Adobe GoLive CS2 comes jammed packed with Adobe Bridge and
Adobe Help Center. The all so familiar interface of Adobe is back now,
only a slight difference; targeting at Building Webpage and Photo Viewing Software.
And instead of the normal Webpage Builder we have, the Adobe GoLive comes
with lots of functions to alter and edit webpage. One glance on the interface,
it seems very complicated. Without even going through the tutorial,
its easy to figure out how to use the software.
(It roughly depends on how much knowledge you have on
HTML hard code, CSS, Java and web building) But one thing for sure,
with Adobe GoLive , you end up saving lots of time on creating a whole Web Site.
Every Site that is made, GoLive will automatically create the necessary folders
to store all your infos for ease of uploading to the web. And it comes compatible to
shockwave and lots of application. Tested on my laptop, the only flaw is
the speed and bugs that the 30-day trail keeps occurring. It feels almost like
using Adobe Premiere (the older versions) where crashing of the software
becomes very irritating. Otherwise, its really a powerful tool to look forward to.
-
ArtRage 2
-
This software is CRAZY. Once I reach Singapore, I’m gonna try exploring the software.
The 4mb free trail (after installation comes up to 6mb) gives you a powerful painting tool
that is fast and GOOD. Not able to understand how to use Painter, this tool is an
alternative to that. It feels like tradition painting and yet, the application is so small in size.
Although the free version doesn’t let you explore and maximized the ability of the software,
(you can’t create layers and stuff) it is good enough for painting and tracing of items.
This painting application is definitely a MUST TRY if you’re a digital artist. Highly Recommend.
-
-
Lots of Tutorial to read up~~
Look at the interface, my very own test page!!Look at the interface!!! I just love it, Can’t wait to doodle

A random painting I did using ArtRage2
on my laptop without mouse and waccom.!!!

PhotoZzzzzz Again

I thought it would be nice to scan through my little HP 607 -
4.1 megapixel camera and post some silly stuff caught on it.
Here are some shots taken while I was in town.
The last one in particular is one of the ever annoying fly/mosquito
(apparently I forgot what I killed??)
which I splat during one morning.
Yeah you might have guess it, life really is boring till that extend…
anyhow, I’ll post some frogs if I get a chance to catch them; yet again..
-___-
these creatures sure get on your nerves in the early morn and late nights.
-
-
Indian Shrine, Prayers Anyone?
Surprised how they can squeeze in? such delicate people...The Asian Matrix Phone Line...The Annoying Insect....

End of Feb Update

ARghhh.. My wisdom tooth is killing me.
Freaking dentist who cleared me before I came India.
Should have taken it out while I could….
Now its giving me headaches and fever…
Gosh…
I wished I can pluck it out!!
Anyhow, recently was out in the field again.
The weather is drying everyone up.
Still, manage to do a couple of sketching.
Anyway, did a portrait for my spec and had it framed at the local stores.
Looks cool in the front huh? Cost only $2 SGD.
Thought of doing a poster of my comic and framing it up.
But the handcraft at the back is kinda bad.
Well, what can you ask for with such a price?
The production slowed down recently due to all that swelling in the tooth.
Hopefully I get well soon.

~~DazeD~~

Something crossed my mind this morning, not sure if I’m dreaming;
the childhood memories of Japanese animation came back for a revisit.
(I’m talking about the Japanese anime during the 80s and 90s.)
From Macross the Movie to Ghost Train 999 and a couple which I lost the name.
Those were classic fantasy which would have survived even in our time.
The appeal of it varies from kids to anime fans like me.
The story was the selling point.
Gotta keep reminding myself on that.
Meanwhile, enjoy the pics!! 1 more month to
Home Sweet Home!!
The Parcel was wrapped nicely in newspaper!!
Thats the second drawing for my training officer -__-

2006/02/22

PhotoSsszzz

Ta-Da!! Here I am with updates and photos! The first preview to the sketches!!!
Though you probably ain’t gonna see much with these blur pictures….
Thats the point you see….lolx……
Unless someone strongly demand for the sketches which I doubt so.
Any takers? I’ll see what I can do in the coming weeks.
With my ever limited space constraint and lazy body,
(I seriously need to get back to excising) not to say the annoying mosquitoes..
damn irritating…….Theres only so much to share for now. Back to more work.
[Below is a repost of 200206....somehow that post was washed away online]





More Drawings coming on the way! Meanwhile enjoy the blurry photos

Back to Blogger

backdated:200206

Back to Blogger~~

My laptop just crashed on me and I can’t remember whatever I was trying to post. Theres a lot of frustration in the air now but then again, that’s life in the new millennium with so many high-tech toys…I can’t wait to buy a new digital SLR.

I figured out that I actually lost a lot of attention on this webby and all the initial intention of settling this place up have gone to drain. With so much things going round my head, and so much doddling and sketching that happened these few days….I am unable to post any pictures of any sort….argh…I wished well and hard that I can be back home soon to my ever wonderful PC (which my brother always fixed up) and post all these drawings and concepts that came to me…Oh well..….Stuck in a place where scanning and printing becomes harder than making coffee, I can only type and continue to stay lonely here. Heck.. anyway, I have myself to blame for not being in focus for the past year. I’m still considering the option of a permanent blog online. ( money issues) where I can really blog on. ( especially when I’ve gotten into production on the comic) Well, judging from my own discipline, I wonder how long or far I can last so, that’s why there ain’t any announcement yet. Probably when I come back home, all these drawing will look like dirts. lolx.

Comic

Talking about comic, the much awaited book FLIGHT3 will be out soon during June. (near my birthday!!) I can’t wait to order it at the locals…so far its only available online. And hell do I hate our homeland, or maybe I just hate the people. How I wish there will be a annual comic convention of our local artist. After Mr. Kiasu and the Shen2 Diao1 Xia2 Lu3 series, there’s no news of any local talents on comic creation. It sure is sad. The one comic that sparks off my interest was of our local artist ( Apparantly I dun have the name) who did Long2 Jiu3 Dao1….that was the funniest book and 4-comic strip of all time. I really wonder why he stopped…probably because of the fact that there wasn’t a market here. Sigh…Gone are the days…….

Overseas

Anyhow, I’m planning on a trip to Japan anytime say December? Backpacked would be fun but it’ll all be dedicated to an Art tour in Japan. The biggest problem now is talking my brother into it….since he is the only one which I know that holds an advance Japanese language knowledge. hmmm….this is a tough one.

Graphic Novel/ Comic

Probably I should start looking up the dictionary what is the diff between a graphic novel and a genuine comic.
-
my thoughts has been clear, finally, the first draft of what i intended to draw two years ago has been out. This might sound big but, actually its very small. I finally got the ideas and strings pull together, the basic outline of the story. Its rare to have such a chance to pop by where all the ideas came into logical sense. Its very refreshing but i have a function to attend in India now. I dun think anyone is watching this space anymore but im sure all excited about whats coming up. By the time I go back, there should be drafts of the first few panels of my story. And hopefully like what i intended, two years to come out with the book itself.
-
CHEERS!!!
-its a good day

Test.....

today gonna be test day...
sorta worried because i didn't study for it...
nevertheless...im beginning to hack care it....
coz im gonna quit school anyway...
-___-
ironic right??
welll....can't be helped...im going india next year...
so won't be keeping up with school....besides...
i found some better place.....
Dun ask me what im studying....if ya dunno,
most probably i didn't want you to know.
So for poeple who is still tracking this space...for whatever reasons...
heres something to look at:

Perceptions ??

I just came home from work again, and i suddenly remembered something.
Thats something is called a habit.
A habit that I developed because of others, or should you say
-
SOCIETY.
-
I can never understand ladies, or probably I should start
understanding them. Its always these few groups of ladies whose
living in my flat that always have the
" DUN TRY TO TOUCH ME"
kinda look. Whenever I take lifts these days,
I try to avoid taking them with young ladies ; especially
late nights.
WHY? they keep giving you the F$$k off look that
somewhere down the elevator your gonna strip their clothes.
[And most of the time they ain't pretty]
So, I finally decided to have a habit to save my own image;
-
[I actually did think about it that probably I DO look like a
BEAST thus giving them that impression]
-
I decided to grab my keys out and play with them once
i gotten into the lift letting the strangers know I DO LIVE
here for CHRIST SAKE.....
-
-
-
What exactly has gotten into the world???
Are we living in a country that really is secure???
FREAKS

2005/11/15

LieSss....

Lies and Lies and Lies.
I found out how unappreciated you can be
even how far you have gone. For somethings,
people just simply care for themselves no matter
what you have done for them. I couldn't expect
to hear nonsense from such high level personnel
and maybe, well just maybe, I might do the same too.
-
-
Confusing as can be, Some people lie infront of you
to make sure troubles dun get in their way or they lie
to make sure they get out of trouble. Why can't eveyone just
say "look, i just dun wish to help you." instead of lieing.
Does it look more presentable because you actually thought
that lieing would get you away with things as easier as telling
the truth???
-
-
Well of course, sometimes the truth is so hard to tell.
I just found out how pissed I am when I know someone is
actually trying to get the most out of me while giving
least. Probably I should stop doing that to others as well.
-
-
Why can't I just do more and stop complaining??
If I can't even do it then why bother complaining?????
-
-
Life is confusing.

2005/11/11

WeddinGzzZZ~~~

Just finish being a sword holder again, but this one round,
not only did i recieve the invitation card, it was more fun.
Partly because the group of sword holders were people I knew.
And also, the bridge-groom seemed more "ONz" and
really know how to talk cork on stage. Been thinking on and
off about weddingz since I have seen two.
Its really giving me the influence that I should probably get
married because its so,....wonderfuL?
-
-
I used to think that only girls will think that way...
-
-
Seems like I've gone sissy.
Or should I say, I really did think alot and probably thats because
of experience in life? I used to go for weddings when I was small
and it seemed like really idiotic where I can never understand
why they must spend money to treat people for dinner when they
can just sign the ROM and do a casual wedding at home.
It really was grand to be able to walk done the road facing your friends
telling them your stories. And its more grand even when you are
a officer having the previlage to give your wife a sacred military
wedding with sword holders......
-
-
-
Life is facinating.....And probably I should
start to ponder more about life than working like a dog.
-
-
why didn't i think so in the past??

2005/11/07

Birthday....

I suddenly remember all my birthday wishes never came true.
Perhaps I didn't blew hard on the candles.
I didn't even tell anyone what I wished for...
so actually I have been wondering for 20 ++ years what went wrong
and the only reason was probably my wishes were last minute thoughts.
So now, I have finally set a goal,
I am going to plan my birthday wishes in advance.....
But then again....
my friends always dun celebrate my birthdays....
-___-!!
Thus I really wished all those who actually knew and kay siao
during my birthday to
%$@#!!# and
@#$%#!$@!
and @!$%#!@$!@$#!%!@$!@
AND @!$%#!$@!$!$........................

Forgotten~~

I actually forgotten what i wanted to post.
-
-
I used to be forgetful, and i still have been.
Its late at night and im sorta restless.
Theres no one in this portal which I can speak to anymore,
or so it seems.
-
-
-
-
I am lost.

2005/11/03

Revisit~~

Finally, Im back, back to a familiar shout space.
I can't helped but get back in. Its been 3 months. And somethings just can't
be forgotten. Was really shaken after hearing KangKang's song....
-
诚实的伤害
-
His latest ablum contains a few sedimental pieces.
And because of that, I guess I finally decided to talk online again....
-
-
-
-
Life is still contradicting, and the hardest part and probably
only thing that we do everyday is making choices.
And I just made lots of choices recently.
-
~Work~
-
I decided not to go back to NYP. Not because I dun want to,
but because, theres really too much restriction I'm on.
As much as i liked, I would love to go back NYP DMD to become
a young lecturer. I really dunno how to break it out to my lecturer,
especially someone which inspired me sooo.... much and...
probably I will never have the chance to pick up the offer he gave.
-
-
~Relationship~
-
Lots of people decided not to ask me why i left her.
Some couldn't bother, most probably had their own judgement,
the closest ones knewn its hopeless even if they asked.
Sincerely, I dun even know wat to say.
But i guess leaving it behind was the best part i did?
because seems like her life is so much viabraint
[or was in vaibraint??]
last but not least, i'm still single and, till date,
I still dun understand why you always felt I had other girls outside.
Probably when i get older some day, more matured some day,
I might know why.
And when i dun wish to answer something,
its still the same reason,
"I just dun like to repeat myself with things which are just not there"
I do still missed the relationship.
And you will probably never know or believe that anymore.
-
-
~LWS~
-
Bahzz...I can't bare to leave the school, especially after
spending so many $$.... I will missed the classmates and...
my deposit ....lolx....life sux eh....I dun even know if i wanna continue
LWS after coming back from INDIA.
-
-
~Animation~
-
Somehow, I think i start to drift towards comic creation,
but i was AWE when i went back NYP and saw those
student works...I missed school days...I yearn for the studies and
project days....

National Day Parade

NDP
-
This is the last post of the blog.
And probably I should have post earlier, but its the 1 year anniversay.
And with this 1 year anniversary,
this blog is gonna come to an end.
Having post today, just after NDP
[with a big relief off my back]
It also signifies the end of my era, part of my own history.
Its probably good because, having been in the team of mobile collumn,
it only appears every 5 years.
so the next time round you guys wanna see army and home team vehicles,
you have to wait for another 5 years for the drive pass. And more so
important is because, national stadium gonna revamp.
-
In short, I came the correct way and did Mobile Collumn 2005 being
the 5th drive pass in Singapore History.
-
-
Aug 09 2005
-
yesterday was a completely different event. Having been in my CO's Landrover,
we drove pass to the estate routes, waving to all the passerbys of all age,
race. The unexpected teens [ mostly guys] wave back to us and it was
totally spectacular..I didn't think everyone would go all Ga-Ga
over the Mobile Column. And when we stopped, lots of people ask for our
drive-pass routes. Lots of uncle and aunties came rushing down the
estates waving and snapping photos of us.
It was a 1 in a life time event.
I'm glad I was part of this important team, delievering the army and home
teams' vehicles to the residence.
For a second, I actually felt like a star yesterday, lots of cheering and
screaming from the crowds along the roads....not the usual Singapore
I know. Most of whom I believe won't even give you a glance on a normal day.
And yet, our National Day change all that. Even when we were travelling
towards Jurong, the SCDF guys form a straight line outside their fire house
cheering us on.
-
If only our country remain that friendly everyday, every second.
-
-
Thanks for all who watch this space.
=]
Its fun blogging for one year.
Hopefully in the far future,
I'll blog again.
-
-

Cheers to all.

WanTan M33~~

Heres An interesting web to view and go to,
why?
because I say so.
While doing NDP [yeah yeah...again and again,...the non-stop saga]
I surf the web to cool off my little Head
-
K13
-
Thats the site of my fellow coursemate who studied the same course
as me, thats DMD [ Digital Media Design] And recently, he just got a site up,
Thumbs up, can't be more happy to see his site.
[not because he got good works lar.. -___- !]
lolx kiddinz kiddinz, but because at least i know another personal
haven give up in this industry....its quite sad, alot of coursemate has stopped
drawing since they went into the army.
But for THIS guy, you all should go take a look because his
1] dedicated to art
2] hard working
3] plain honest [ or plain dumb if you look at another way,lol]
His got a good history of interest in the 3D field, much far better than myself.
-
Yeah yeah my 3D lousy lar i knoe, BUEH SAI MEH?
finger also got long and short what....kns...
and most importantly, he was someone whom I did final year projects.
So the "VIDEO" section contains some interesting clips.
Just GO see lar, you got time to read my blog no time to visit another web?
come on man, give it a try.
-
-
at least he has a patient to do a decent web...sigh...

AwOL

My CO thought I awol yesterday....to think i help him do so many things
I can't believe he even think about that!!!??
I am now waiting for my video to render finish as usual,
its the NDP mobile column video....
and they probably not gonna use it on National TV.
-
Whats with people and contigency plans?
sigh...why singapore so kia su kia see...??
why NKF cheat money?
[I should start NCF- No Cheating Foundation]
-
Anyhow, today when we on the way back home [rather ang mo kio]
my buddy and Mr. NDP was chit chatting on the car.
Mr. NDP man was pondering a silly question which seems quite
intelligent while speeding his marron car on 80 trying to kill
us all.....
-
below contains some above 21 questions.....
-
-
-
#BEHOLD#
-
NDP king : Who the hell started calling our white liquids SPERM?
[BUDDY laughing ]
Buddy : Dunno lar, why you ask this kind of question, you all siao liao ar?
Me : eh maybe got meaning one leh? maybe stands for;
Super Powerful Energetic Removable Material.
[We all laugh]
-
I know it sounds lame but such simple lame jokes gets our life
going on and on and on while those EVIL villians back in
camp make us suffer day and night...
TO HELL WITH DO duty
[CCB]
-
But the bottom line is,...
how does the creator of this word manage to find such a disgusting
tone for our wonderful liquid that provides life.
you see you see,
why he cannot call it,
"Beautiful", or "Marvelous"
imagine if last time the person who actually invented the word
"SPERM" calls it "Beautiful" and
the person invented the word "Beautiful" uses the exact meaning
and calls it "SPERM"
-
lolx...
-
then if that really happen we will be going around saying things like:
" wa...this place very SPERM hor....wa....so SPERM....i wanna come again"
or...
" Wa lan eh,....that girl very SPERM sia...so SPERM..."
lolx..
-
The world is actually quite funny..

Hmm.. just finish drawing this idiot, whom dunno how to act.
anyhow, while drawing him and looking at his feature.
I came to a conclusion,
HE IS NOT HANDSOME.
He got Pa Jiao eye and actually a normal skull.
But because of his mini eye, he looks cool.
And on top of his expressionless personality,
he stands out from the crowd.
Anyhow, thats none of my business,
-
and so you ask why i draw him?
-
simple,
I drew him earlier in my blog:
and that drawing was base on his second book which i found
the cover very nicely decorated...
[actually is the designer pick a very nice place for him]
So i didn't really took the effort to draw him in detail,
partly also because he got a weird face very hard to draw
and will take alot time.
SO...
I decided to draw him.
All comments are welcome
Anyhow, I think I should start deviant art,
that way i can post drawings there and have real comments...
sigh..........
