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.

Pacca ;)

BUSY

I love how 'occupied' I am with my life now. Love every single bit. Mentioned some time earlier before that I was going to work with Cory on a personal project. And vola~ here it is. Not our best but at least we tried. Working with him was really enjoyable and easy. Here is the video. Finished my fantasy head for sculpture class. Love and hate the class but mostly love because I have the best teacher, hating it because I suck. Will upload the pictures later. So many projects and plans coming up and I can't wait. All the best for me! Till then, pacca~

Equity

Have you ever in a position where you think, "Why so unfair? ... " I'm pretty sure all of us did. Fact is, the world is not fair. If it was, earth would have been in a cube shape instead of round. Make sense much? Below are some of the few examples from my personal experience for the past months:

1.) I worked my ass off to do my finals last semester. Not to mention getting home late and going to school again early in the morning. I was pretty sure just that effort itself scored an A++. My final grade? B+. Okay, I tried convincing myself, it was a tough A to get. SO let it go. Till one day, someone I think should have got a B- told me he got an A for the class. DAMN IT. (He's good looking and nice to me so I'll give it to him. UGH)

2.) There was a bitch who constantly late to classes or just MIA for weeks. (Note: to make sure I'm not saying its racism issue here, this bitch is an asian) According to the school policy, absent from classes for three times cause a dropout for the class immediately. That sounds so terrifying right? But, bitch showed up on last class with all her tears and some shitty final homework she did and the teacher let her got away. Reason? She was dealing with some personal issues that cause her missed those classes. Guess what were those issues? Having trouble to identify which man she slept with the night before.

3.) The same bitch, for yet another class, had issues with showing up on time too. That kinda pissed the teacher off. So she was kinda picky on her which I totally didn't blame her for that. Since this time was a female instructor, her gorgeous face features couldn't be used for 'good cause'. So she came up with this claim sayin' the teacher was being racist. She confronted her and since that she kinda give in because she was trying to avoid complains, or so I guess. So after 5 absences and uncountable late arrivals, she got a B+, exactly the same like me. BITCH

4.) Here's hoping I won't see her again in my new semester, this whore (sorry I just need to upgrade her status) somehow changed her schedule for some God-Knows-Why reasons to be in this current class with me. DAMN. She has been trying to make him (the teacher) to help her for the classwork (everybody does but she did it more often and in a sluttier way and fake compressed tones) and its kinda disturbing for me. So the unfair part here is, everyone got a B/C for the first grade and she got an A. FUCK HER. (Note, she was late for all the classes thus far. That should have been a grade drop according to the 'school policy'. If she were still able to get an A, that means she was an A+. WTF)

5.) Enough bragging about that whore who shall not be named ....prisa rianzi (totally google-able) then at this side I have people telling me how good my life is - getting to study abroad, has this kinda money etc etc, which I am so lazy to repeat myself again.

6.) Too many things to tell at once. Maybe next time. I just wanna rant

So, the conclusion is, life is not fair. If you want a fair life, get Neutrogena. or Olay Total White. Or something else. FML. Peace.

Rainbow After The Storm

I swear to You-Know-Who I was this close to give up my dreams last week as everything doesn't go well or as hell. Literally EVERYTHING. I wanna go home so badly. Depressed gao gao. *I am stealing a quote from Pau Pau:*

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Thomas A. Edison

ThankGod I hang in here for awhile longer. I got my exam result paper today. Guess what? Its 100%! WTF! I don't remember the last time I got a 100%! And most of my midterms grades are out today too! 3 out of 4 subjects are A-/A/A+, with only 1 exceptional C+, stupid Analysis of Form class, which by the way, according to the teacher, is the average score he gave to the students in class. If I work my way harder, I would get a B eventually. Or so I hope.

100% !! 

And then comes to me moving out soon. Its so happy and exciting sad that I am leaving my family friends here. I wish them nothing but all well in the future, sincerely. I think my next post is either gonna be my muppet making process or the moving out day. Till then, PACCA.

(p/s: I'm getting used to my new name - Mint.)

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.)

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

I Like It

.. but I don't love it. Done with my first model photoshoot! Geez! Its hard. Haha. I have no idea Yohei was a model until he started to tell me cameras n stuffs. I learned a lot from him. Haha. I shall try his technique the next time I do a shooting. I had fun with Jana. She's just so funny and she made it so easy for me to work with her. Haha. I hope the real film will turns well. Belows are the digital images I had with my DSLR.

Pier 39

That is the location of one of my classes. Well, right opposite to be exact. It's experimental animation class. I kinda have a love-and-hate feelings for this class because its really fun but the homework is really time consuming. Grr. Well, guess I should not put too much pressure on myself. Haha.

Busy Month

I haven't been free for the last few weeks. Sigh. A quick update about what I was working on lately. Its a video assignment. Below are the few still frames for the video. In addition, I was also working on my final animation short, which I am very passionate and excited about, am gonna show the characters by next week (or so I hope).

BC Gathering

I wanted to blog about this long ago but I can't get the photos until today..

Back when I was in form5, we had this public secret "undercover" committee formed by the prefects known as the Bitch Club. We even had name cards for ourselves. LOL. So our basic jobs were to bitch around and gossip about teachers and students. Aww. High school was soooo fun..

While time flies and we ages, the Bitch Club remains bitchy and catty. So last week we had this reunion thing at LOP and it was biatchsome.



Can't even jing jing ging ging to have a dinner..


Kesian KimKim for tercut out from the photos..(Blame OJA Takeshi on that)



The sad case was not all the members made it to the dinner due to the fact that it was Fathers Day. Haha..Can't wait for the BBQ session! Sadly our president Diana is going to miss out that 1 again... sigh.. The truly ultimate bitch of all time.. hahahaha

XOXO

Being An Elder Brother

Today wasn't the first time I replaced my mum to take a report card for my siblings as she was too lazy to go to the school and meeting other patpo parents she needs to work. And so I woke up around 7 in the morning unwillingly as I slept around 4 something (thanks to Betty.. and IanIan, too.) After getting ready and a jam-free driving journey, we arrived at his school.

Getting a parking lot.. its not that hard since people in his school don't wake up this early to get report cards.

And then we waited for around 30 minutes while his teacher was eating curry puff. (Damn it bitch, even I didn't take any breakfast before that..) She started off meeting parents soon after she was done with her meal.

We were number 3, which means there were two more fellas, I mean parents, in front of us. Gosh, they were really long winded.
We waited for like hours just because they can't stop asking/saying stuff like:
1. Why is he so weak in this (maybe not everyone is good in everything?)
2. Who is the teacher for this subject (do you think knowing the teacher's name will help meh? Its not the teachers' fault when others can get good result ok?)
3. Can I talk to your principal (if everyone say this, the principal is gonna be pretty damn busy)
4. How can it be? He was so good (if he was so good, maybe the result was not his..owh no, maybe this time he tak jadi to cheat during exam)
5. Is the school going to have more teachers/Would you consider to switch the science teacher? (would you consider to transfer your son too? That will be easier)
6. Why the teachers always get pregnant? I heard they always have relief classes. (Most teachers love science and always curious/enjoy about it, or sort of.. just that they always skipped the most important syllabus *ahem ahem* )
I don't mean to sound careless but, c'mon peeps, there are plenty of people waiting at the back.. if you have question, save it for Parents-Teachers meetings.. or since you care so much, why can't you bother to spend sometimes to meet the teachers personally another day right?

So when it was my turn, I got that very scripted question and answer for the teacher:
1. I am his brother and I am collecting his report card because my mum is working outstation.
2. Is he behaving well? Ok? Thanks.
3. I will sign here right? Ok. Thanks.
Simple 3 lines can help to save everyone's time. But, I'm used to it. You know, getting time wasted.
Overall, my bro result was ok. I was so shocked his only red mark was Visual Art. Damn it. So mempersiahsuikan me. Haha
