Growing Up

This is something funny because just today itself, a lab tech couldn't find my ID/IC when I checked out from the lab today because he had a hard time finding an ID photo that is identical to me. WTF! I thought I just grew some mustache and beard compared to the clean shaved me in the IC photo! And then YewCheong showed me a pic of mine taken years back then. Holy smoke! I don't remember looking so young!

Maybe a year or two ago? or three? 

Yesterday.

Time is flying fucking fast I don't even realize it. Sigh.

Lipsync Project

I took hours to get this done. Not to mention the redo part. So please enjoy it.

Un-wess Y-oo AH Shh-Kawed (Unless You Are Scared)

My final setting for the lipsync animation. Woohoo~ I've already finished the homework but I think I will redo it. So I'm not gonna upload anything just yet. Hopefully I have enough time on Tuesday before class to remake a new one. ^^

Finding My Feet

My mum just called me earlier to tell me stop stressing myself out for homework. Haha. So, I'm telling her, here again, that I am having a fun time doing my homework. It's tiring and I got home pretty late for the past couple few days, but, I enjoyed it. So no worries. Even though I'm working against the clock to catch up with the new environment and coping with studies, its OKAY here. I am fine.

(p/s: I'm having this 爱赢才会拼 mode on for my homework now.)

Photography on Hiatus

This is gonna be a sad news for those who just drop by and see the photos and skip the reading because my beloved Nik has gone for a long deserved holiday. I can't help but to send him in for service because I'm getting a lot of dusts and weird 'bulu-bulu' (I swear its not mine) in my photos and I had to edit them out in photoshop one by one. So I brought him to a camera shop and they agreed to help me with a reasonable price. So yea, no artistic photos for the upcoming two weeks.

Nik

Meanwhile, I'm dying to get two of my animation homework done. I might be able to upload it as soon as this weekend if I can complete them both by Friday. Till then, CIAO. ^^

My "Fanshu" in the making.

Gonna do a lip sync animation with this fella. Imma named it Patrick.

Back To December

Taylor Swift - Back to December

(We've decided to redo our homework and didn't present it. Sigh.)

Best Team Ever

I don't care what is the result for this assignment (for now) but I surely think I had the best team ever with me. Period. Thank you guys so much for being so patient with me (I was late for an hour+). Assignment to be uploaded (if it's not totally screwed.)

My free lunch: Chicken Tender + Fries (I am loving the 'monthly meal plan'. Haha)

                            

Gray

San Francisco has finally started to rain. Bitter. Each photos represent different feelings of mine now. Figure it out if you bother to.

My Usual Weekend

So most of you would have ask: what are you doing during the weekend? Well, my answer is always the same: I don't know. Probably sleeping and do some house chores. Yes. That has been my routine since I got here.

I usually starts with tidying my room and have waffle and milo hot chocolate for breakfast.

As for today, right after I went to quench my thirst with my beloved Java Chip, I headed straight to the grocery stores to get some junk food and toiletries. It has always been a challenge an exercise walk for me to go to the streets because of the hills I have to climb.

Fresh flowers for Larry, Aunt's late husband.

Much needed shopping therapy. I felt so released.

So after I unpacked all the groceries, I started to clean up the balcony. I'm not a big fan of gardening but I sure not hope the plantings die right away when my landlady aunt come back from her vacation. So I did a little clean up. I'm pretty sure those spiders are going to come and bite me in my dreams because I swept a hell off the spider webs today.

Spider webs: Gross!

Beautiful roses at the balcony.

I started sweeping soon after cleaning up the balcony mess. A little something about me: I did help cleaning up at my own home, just that not as frequent, you know, cause I have a maid homework, social, helping mum in the shop and etc.

The photos above look so 'kerja amal'. I know. haha

By the time I finished cleaning up, I went to bath right away. The dust was killing me. I chilled for an hour before I started preparing for my dinner. Check out what I had for dinner peeps, it's yum!

Rosemary grilled chicken breast. Yum!

Mum: Just so you know, I'm eating vege.

After dinner, I had dessert as reward for myself for getting dumped cleaning up the house. I was watching 'The Graduate'. It's my homework for Cinematic Storytelling class. Dustin Hoffwan was so handsome back then but he is really an old hag now. Haha. Love the movie.

Almost melt the ice cream on the couch. Lucky me.

So that wraps up my usual weekend in Oakland. Does it look fun to you?

A Reunion With (Venti) Java Chip

It has been such a while since I was spotted a public affair with Java Chip. I kicked myself out to get some fresh air today and meet up with my long lost Java Chip.

All my tears just swallowed in the second I had my Java Chip. Cheers.

Shadows & Chalks

When there is light, there is shadow.

Forgive me if most of my recent photos are having this lens flare thing (not from photoshop) because I'm superbly obsessed with it. I just thought its kinda cool to play around with it. Random shoutout to myself: You' re out of the shadows! Be ready to shine on honey~ DON'T EVER LOOK BACK.

Going to update tomorrow about my video shooting because it was fun today for the supposedly real test shoot. We are going to have a complete one doing tomorrow. Hope we can manage to finish it on time.

Leo on his 'skateboard'

Sarah "Weeee"

UPDATE: I just read some messages I sent years ago and its HILARIOUS. WTF. Reason #438 not to look back. (Maybe once in a while. Haha)

UPDATE #2: Shooting cancelled. Ish

My Assignments Thus Far

I've been spending a lot of time on my stop-motion class assignments lately and I love what I'm learning so far. Hehe.

I' ll be 'collaborating' again with Leo, Sara, Kyle and new member, Garry for next week assignment - pixilation/ chalk video. I can't wait!!!

Sample of great pixilation/chalk animation

A Night in San Francisco

I don't usually stay in the city till late because it's hard for me to get home due to limited transportation after peak hour. What happened last weekend was, I tend to stay longer than I supposed to because I just can't pull myself out from refining my animation. So I ended up staying in school till 10pm-ish. OMG. The work better scores well. So I had to walk myself to a nearest train station to get back home. Sigh. San Francisco is really a beautiful city nevertheless.

Happy Birthday Jana!

It's Jana's 21st birthday tomorrow, but she'll be going back to her hometown to celebrate with her friends and family. So we had a small cake for her today (during our class break) to sort of celebrate before her actual big day. Yay!~

Happy 21st birthday Girl!
