Goodbye 2011
Seriously I still don't understand how time works - it just went by so quickly! 2011 has been really a great year for me; so many ups and downs and shit happened, but hey life goes on! When you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up. Hopefully this is what will happen in 2012. Looking back 2011 it has to be a year for my studies. I had a big comeback (woot woot!) on my grades since it went downhill after PMR. LOL. Not to mention I effing nailed all my classes to a point people nicknamed me as the Maya (3D program) God. HAHAHA. Here's hoping I will maintain the drive for studies and keep improving and have better artworks to share with everyone. I wish everyone stays healthy for the upcoming year nevertheless. Goodbye 2011 and hello 2012!! Partayyy and work hard bitches! When life gives you lemon, just sell it and buy yourself a drink!

My Suicide 03.29.1967
One of the better soundtrack I've heard in awhile. So beautiful! So good that I have to upload it to youtube myself!
The score is from a recent movie I watched awhile ago called The Artist. The movie was beyond words. Definitely check it out. I think the 'public version' is available online now. Not bootleg. Whoops. This is the movie trailer. The trailer is so good it pretty much sums the movie.
So this is me showing my support for the movie - Hope you win big for the upcoming Golden Globe and Oscar next year! You deserve it!

My 1st Visit To ILM Studio
There's a new movie out now everywhere else besides U.S. - The Adventures of Tintin, by Steven Spielberg. Fortunate enough, my pal Cory was invited to a private screening over at ILM (Industrial Lights and Magic) - the visual effects studio behind almost every major hollywood blockbusters - Ironman, Transformers, Captain America, Avengers, just to name a few, and he asked me to be his plus one. So so so stoked!!
What an eye opening visit! Too bad we can only take pictures around the entrance. Back to the movie - it was a really good movie. Best adjective to describe the movie? It's very Steven Spielberg! LMAO. A lot of lens flare shots, 50s jokes (which I really enjoyed - its all about retro peeps! Haters gonna hate!), Sharks, Indiana Jones vibe and etc. Just the last one makes a movie hella good already. The CG part just blew my mind away, like completely. I like how every scene was transitioned beautifully from one to another - that really takes a lot of effort to make sure the visual flows. Action sequences were really well constructed too. The good thing about Spielberg is, you are always quenching to find out what is going to happen next - because he is just that good at building up the anticipation. I like how the graphic sticks to the original designs of the comic version of Tintin. That really takes a lot of studies. Jamie Bell did a great job breathing life to Tintin too because I can see Tintin as a real life human instead of just an animated character. I've seen The Polar Express but this one is a way better Motion Capture than that one was. So to sum this trip up - go and watch Tintin already!! Definitely gonna be a contender for Oscar's best animated feature next year. Won't be surprised if it wins.
(P/S: I wouldn't mind working at ILM at all!!)

Drive
I've been thinking a lot lately as of what to blog. Seems like I just ran out of topics or too much happening lately that's unbloggable not worth a mention. Anyway, saw this movie Drive recently and it kills me if I'm not blogging about it. Hmm, so where do I begin with?
Two words: Ryan Gosling. I am willing to pay my ticket for any movie starring Gosling. No kidding. Fortunately, I got my passes for the pre-screening and I ran to the theatre after my class ended early. I was so worried not getting in like the past 40 3 screenings therefore I made Leo queued there 2 hours before the movie started. It worth every second he waited for. LOL
It's such a stylized movie that every shot can be used as a photo, super super cool cinematography. It's such a simple story but the lighting and used of angles made the movie super awesome. Not to mention how minimal the dialogues were, and perfect score and soundtracks. It was such a throwback to the 80s film noir. (love the use of shadows!!! So so inspiring)
Highly recommended for movie lovers who understand film language. Not so for the regular audiencelike cch because you guys are gonna effing blame me for making you peeps to stay in two hours for a movie like this. (Rating: 9/10)
(P/s: Second watch was even better because I captured more stuffs that I missed during the first watch. Don't cha just love to have a friend who works in a movie theatre? I got a life size Drive poster that I'm about to hang on my wall!!)

Intense Semester
Class just started last week today and I can feel the intensity already!! Woot woot. Went for the infamous 'perspective' class today and geez it really sounds like a lot of works and time consuming. But oh well I'm up for the challenge! One more day of classes tomorrow for Introduction to Animation (hand-drawn animation/ or 'cartoon' for those that can't understand) and Maya class (3D) and I'm done for the week. Gonna get my perspective homework done right now so that I can 'chill' for the weekend.

不善于沟通
最近开始发觉自己其实唔系好善于沟通
譬如话
同室友坐系同一厅 我地居然可以零交流 是我的问题吗？
或者我真系习惯左 自己一个人住 暂时未能适应
又或者 我系个大闷蛋 同我倾计好嘥气？
查实我依家系做紧夹心人 唉 自己拿来衰
好友鬼鬼搭住我度 室友原先都ok geh
鬼鬼并唔系无品或态度差 只系室友觉得他好似白吃白住 却系事实
虽然鬼鬼偶然会帮补添买食用品 但室友同我仍然觉得他好似无么贡献
再讲
鬼鬼系我geh好友 过去两周 真系玩到癫
影真打开眼界
绝对系 ‘如何用一蚊玩尽全世界’ geh 最佳人选
穷到隆都仲可以晚晚去蒲 交际能力叫人咋舌
话番转头 其实真正的导火线系源自今朝鬼鬼问我地
他geh阿哥可唔可以搭住一晚 haha
我本身系无问题 个人非常认同因果 或者我前世真系欠左他
但系室友就当场黑脸 将个波扔返俾我
sigh
好明显地 我geh答案系yes
但系就觉得室友好似恼左
唉
whatever啦
今朝有酒今朝醉

Self Discovery
You know when they say, who you're mixing with reflects who you are in person. Well now I realized this is so true. I've been hanging with a lot of random people these days and I kinda have a better understanding of myself, in terms of what I want and what I need.
Let's begin from the surface - I know I love movies - to an almost obsessed level. I like to voice my opinions over every effing movie I watched. It wasn't that obvious (maybe it is to some people) back home because we don't get good movie coming out every week. Here, I'm having a blast just attending all these random screenings of my choice. I love interpreting stories and what's not. Having my girl, Chelsea, moviebuddy/roommate/(fill in the blank) now is all I could asked for.
From movies, I realized I'm a person who preferred to have conflicts. Well get this straight, conflict doesn't equal to argument. I just don't see myself in a place like Utopia where everyone is just peace and calm and nice to everyone else. Anyway like that will ever happened.
You might think I am a person who's really good in talking but that's just the few things people assumed about me. I find it really hard to express myself, like my true feelings, even to my closest friends. Sometimes, I don't think people get what I was about to tell, so I would just shut down how I really feel and just go with what people think I am feeling. I don't think its really a bad thing because sometimes the truth hurts.
Owh and, as most people would think I am a street smart guy, I kinda begin to realize I'm more towards a nerd. Haha. I can spend my entire day in the house facing the computer reading facts that no one gives a shit but felt so content about it. I did try outdoor activities, skateboard? WTF. HAHA. But that clearly is not my thang. It was fun to try out new stuffs every now and then but I guess I'll just stick to the TV and theatre. You can take a boy out of the cinema but you can't take a cinema out of the boy. LOL
Well about stories that I've been getting drunk and fucked up a lot lately, well, that's partially, or should I say half true. I do drink but not like I'm getting fucked up every night. I think its good to loosen up once in awhile but I don't think I am able to do it everyday. It kinda loses the idea of drinking isn't it? Kudos to my friend who can think of a million way to get wasted and partying hard though. I envy his freewill of not worrying about the future but i guess that's just not how it works for me. I'm not ready for mankind evolution I guess. Haha
So to conclude my little self discovery - I am a shy, not outgoing, chilled geek who people nicknamed the walking fandango. Period.

Chasing Pavements
I've made up my mind,
Don't need to think it over
If I'm wrong, I am right
Don't need to look no further,
This ain't lust
I know this is love
But, if I tell the world
I'll never say enough
'cause it was not said to you
And that's exactly what I need to do
If I end up with you
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasin' pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste
Even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasin' pavements
Even if it leads nowhere
I build myself up
And fly around in circles
Waitin' as my heart drops
And my back begins to tingle
Finally, could this be it
(I can't get enough of ADELE!! She just inspired my next work)

Wonderful Week
It's been awhile since I do something productive. But again, what is productive? Emo aside, this full week has been a blast. My roommate Chelsea is back from Florida, we hang out and had so much to catch up with each other. So glad that Olivia got accepted to the RA job at the same time!(I'm more excited because she finally left the apartment)
On the other hand, Leo is back too! Got to admit, none of my friend can cook to begin with, so not only he can cook, he cooks like a pro too. He never ceases to surprise me with all his hidden talents. HAHA
So 'much' done this week -hangover, hangover 2, hangover 3, ... hangover 5 we went for a special screening for the movie 'The Debt', (kudos to myself for finding those tix FOR FREE) and we had a Q&A session with the director, John Madden himself right after. It felt so surreal to meet a real Oscar nominated director. The movie was great. Love love love Jessica Chastain. And owh, the guy in Avatar, Sam Worthington is in the movie too. Check it out when it comes out later.
Can't wait for school to start nonetheless. Till then I will just hang it here and hum to the Lazy Song. Don't judge me. That's holiday.
(P/S: Thanks to Facebook, I just realized this is officially my first one year living in the State. Living up my teenage dream!!!!)

悠闲假期
真觉得自己好似废材 人就系矛盾 － 有野做时就懒懒行 无野做时就稳野做
原先geh plan系稳暑工－ 有啊 见十份有九份都feel到好似会请硬我甘 到最后都系无答复
算, 画画咯 应该容易稳工D 又唔系话无水准 点知死画烂画准备portfolio geh同时已经俾人截左胡
都算 参加比赛咯 总有D胜算瓜 胜系胜 统统都系胜在先 输在后 真系想爆粗
就系如此气馁geh时候 D好友们个个好似失晒踪甘 稳个人打气仲难过捞月
D倾得下geh就无拉拉sot过我 未开口吐苦水已经有一堆苦水哒落我块面度
sot D都仲有 失惊无神问我觉得他为人系点 认真地思考甘回覆，可能耐左D 点知他一句‘你好似敷衍紧我’ nia ma 激得我啊
都算 打起精神 最后geh冲刺帮我个design拉票 稳晒一堆旧同学来vote 心酸到 可能自己都有D唔岩 平时都无mat打招呼 无段段叫人家帮手系有D awakward 但系我总算系扯烂块脸吧 敷衍下我唔洗死瓜
真失败 过去的三个月好似真系么都无做过 除左每个礼拜睇几场free首映 which对某D人 甚至乎大部分人来讲，都觉得: 睇先zek, so? 有奖拿啊？ 这少少geh成就甘都俾抹杀左
好纳闷啊 真该反省 其实系我geh问题吗？
希望系假期完之前可以稳到份工 塞住D八婆geh口 但系我这个已经好幸运geh废柴 还会有上天geh眷顾吗？

Random Update
Howdy everyone! Not sure if you are aware but I deactivated my facebook account recently. Reason? None. Just feel like detoxing from facebook addiction I guess. Two screenings coming this week but I can only attend one because both take place same date with only an hour gap. Ugh. Currently reworking on my blue valentine painting and this is a glimpse of what I achieved after 4 hours.
So many mistakes in my original painting! Gosling face was flat and weird hair/neck/mouth. I feel so much better with this one. Will upload the 'finish' painting once I'm satisfied. You know what they say, an artwork is always unfinished because there's always room for improvement. Guess I figured that by now.
UPDATE:

Screening, Screening and Screening
This somewhat has became a routine for me to attend at least a movie screening a week but oh boy I've attended 3 screenings just this past few days - not that I'm complaining. Not to mention how much easier to get into the line without bitch Olivia. *with her cursing every five second definitely was one of the factors we got cut from Captain America. Anyway, cut the crap, below are the movies I watched recently:
Crazy Stupid Love
a cheerful comedy that's less Steve Carell-ish funny but emotionally moving. Great ensemble cast: Steve Carell, RYAN GOSLING, EMMA STONE, Julianne Moore (great great acting, definitely deserves a nom for at least Golden Globe), Marisa Tomei.. very well written script with an effing surprising twisted ending. Love every single bit of it. (9/10)
50/50
Another actor that can do no wrong in my dictionary: Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Diagnosed with cancer at the first 10 minutes of the movie and the entire film centered on how his life turned upside down due to that. This lighthearted movie got it right most the part - actors, acting, story arc, characters, cameras, only one important issue - soundtracks. It wasn't good enough to provoke that kinda sadness or emotion the picture was trying to do. I'm kinda upset about that because it has so much potential to be better. (6.5/10)
30 Minutes or Less
The title serves the movie best - I literally feel like it was just 30 minutes or less. It has some funny moments and solid punchlines but it feels more like short film material than a long feature. A pretty refreshing story nonetheless but I found Aziz Ansari's acting and comedic timing were forced at times. Danny McBride was Danny McBride (as usual) - its all about pussies and dicks. (4.5/10)
Upcoming screenings that I most probably (or hopefully) going next week:
Rise of the Planet of Apes
Final Destination 5
Warrior
If anyone of you reading this has extra passes, you know how to contact me. :P Peace.

One Day
Another day another painting. This is yet to be done but I'm just kinda upset everytime when mum calls, her first question will be like, 'what are you doing now? Sleeping?" Not cool mum. Not cool. I woke up everyday 9 in the morning tops. No afternoon nap.
I think I am getting faster with this one.

Captain America
There are two ways (generally) I get inspired to do a drawing: either I am extremely upset or I watched a movie that leave real deep impact on me. So this is me doing Captain America, literally. Still in progress because it takes the patient of god to do a painting like this. Wonder how others able to do it within 2 hours. FML
Seriously I don't remember I can paint like this. Gosh. Talk about improvement
UPDATE: Done in 10 hours! Not that bad actually

My Conclusion Is..
After meeting up with so many different people around the world (sort of), here is my theory, hypothetically, on:
1. Malays are friendly
2. Chinese are materialistic / fucking think they are the smartest
3. Hispanics are helpful (mostly)
4. White people care most about themselves
5. Russians are mean and egotistical
6. Philippines are lazy and drunk 48/7
7. Thai are warm
8. Japanese are polite
10.Koreans are over patriotic
11.Indians know maths the best
12.Indonesians are horny
13.Arabians are hornier
14.Cambodians are naive
15.Vietnamese only help themselves
16.Brazilians are hot
17.Spaniards are hotter, less intelligent
18.Cubans are stubborn
19.African americans are nice and down to earth
20.Italians are all about money
FML hard.
