Pumpkin week ! | 1:01 PM     This post was suppose to be for Halloween, but couldn't make it in time. I ended up playing a game call " murderer" on holloween night...not much going on in my apartment but outside...u'll see drunk zombies walking around. Yes they are no ordinary zombies ! They are real ! literally... Only cause the drunk effect makes them seem more...whats that word...zombie-ish I stumble upon this blonde lady with a sailor costume...boy was she drunk... was taking the same elevator up to 4th floor, where i live. She was like starring at me the whole time asking ridiculous question that makes no sense. Guess that proves drinking really kills ur braincells...thats not it...after we got off the elevator, she actually attempted to pull me into her apartment. I was like uhhh....no thank you....and left. Every single time she started talking in the elevator, i had a feeling she was gonna puke on me...so i had to get away from her.... That's the only particular thing that i remembered happened on hollowness night...no trick O' treat moment for me either...and on the following day the instructor have us texture pumpkins ! YAY ! not really....but non the less...pumpkins has to be in 4 flavours, Chocolate(yummy), Orange Peel(Citric-ness), Hammered Copper(shinny), Black_Leather(Comfy). So ya'll choose a pumpkin that u like then comment on it ! Happy Halloween ! Bwahahahuhuho |

spring semester 2009 | 8:41 PM
Apart from my digital VFX composting work, i have decided to post something more to what my major is about. I have recently changed my major from animation and VFX for games to Modeling and texturing for games. One of the major reasons is because i have lost interest in doing animation, weather it be 2D or 3D. I just do not enjoy animating as much as modelling, mainly because im more of a detail artist, my eyes tends to wonder around fine and nice details in certain things and i'm fascinated with. Modeling is like sculpting, u craft just like sculptors do. And as for texuring, u basically put colors, shades, tones, shadows, highlights, etc. Both of them which has a lot to do with fine detailing weather it be going for stylization or just plain realism.

In the games major, u learn to work under a specific "limit" of how much a console(ps2,xbox,wii) can hold. So for the following project we're building it for the PS 2 console, so keep in mind of how the ps2 graphics look like. It a basic room scene where u have the basics, we started off with the desk, then progress on to the rest of the room. First image is the Final scene, with a lil touching of lighting using photoshop. On the 2nd image u'll see the model without the texture, and the third image shows a close up shot on the texture. As u can see, it is quite blurry, that's cause u can't get fit a high res texture map in that "limit" we spoke off earlier. The ps2 just wouldn't have the memory capacity for it. To the very right, you'll see small maps lining up one after another, those are the texture maps that i'm talking about.

Blog Renewal Underway | 12:15 PM
I have FINALLY decided to start blogging again...actually promised my gf to do so but i didn't cause i was lazy...like usual i guess...which calls for a fresh new start !
0~Comments~
First impression on new blog header....gf says its scary...so...I has phails(a terminology for failing spelled with a ph and using has instead of have just for the heck of it).....i was actually suppose to embed a living spider on my blog but then that would crawl around your mouse pointer but then that would surely....prevent my gf from accessing it...defeats the purpose of renewing the blog.....*Squishes spidy and flicks it into my neighbour's window. what to write ? what to write ? what to write ? oh for some of you...i might have shown some of my recent work....by recent i mean pass semester's work...one of them include making my friend dissapear...his name is Jerry, from Taiwan. He was basically my last resort for doing the "invisible project" luckily was nice enough to let me make him disappear. Took me a couple of hours to clean the picture(erasing the face, skin, etc) Then moving on to do some touches on the clothing(fake labeling etc), final touches on shadows and viola, my buddy Jerry disappeared.  One of the most interesting projects i have worked with in the VFX section besides making people disappear is actually stitching images together which is referred to as " panorama "....the image below are compiled with 6 or more photos. It a graffiti wall just outside my school... Last but not least....i have saved the best for the last....This project is called " 50ft. student " so basically you're suppose to make yourself look like you're 50 ft amongst the buildings around u. Hardest project yet and it is also our final for the VFX class. Took me the most hours out of it but its well worth the time being spend.....so i have 3 images below... First one is about me getting my self shot(by camera) in what we call the green screen room, its one of those many rooms they use in the movies for placing a certain object/people into a scene where its impossible to do in real life. Also added a couple of student's shot....    Then we're suppose to choose 1 out of 5 pictures that the teacher gave us, or u can shoot your own location picture where u wan to composite yourself into... and i chose this building near my school .  So what i basically did was, did a lil clean up on my green screen shot to take away the greens affecting my clothing, fix the lighting then fit it into the location above. Following by masking out areas that are not suppose to be there, then add in some shadows and highlight, finishing touching here and there and this is the finishing result....  Thank you for spending your time to view my post Do leave your comments and suggestion |

What is love ? | 1:31 AM
Funny thing isn't it.....if you ask somebody "what is love to u" or give me a definition of "love" they would usually end up with a long hmmm....or they would say something like " you know.....when u love someone you'll have that butterfly feeling in your tummy" or is it ? Sure you might have tons and tons of gf or bf but which one of them is true love ? You know it is not true when you said " i love you and wish to live with you forever or telling them they are the most beautiful person in the world.....well mostly it isn't true esspecially at such young age but i makes them happy dosen't it? It isn't our fault, it is the feeling that drives us to say such things because we felt like there's no one we would rather be with than that special someone at that moment. Sudden feelings do make us say things we don't really go through thinking or maybe we're just spoiled by romantic movie scenes.

Which reminds me of my baby gurl, who's constantly asking pressure questions like " why do you love me ". Sometimes i could not come up with an answer, sometimes i struggle to make something up because alot goes through my mind, and even sometimes it brings tears to my eyes for i do not know what reasons. It is easy to lie and make up something but telling the truth is hard. Of all the answers that i gave her the best one was just " a kiss ". I'll explain why.....cause love is all about feeling....it is something that cannot be explained. You do not tell a girl/boy you love her cause she's pretty and hot and cute and whatever, that person will eventually be old one day and do u still love her ? Even if there's a reason to love somebody then it would be a long list to go over so u can't tell her/him all the reasons right ? A kiss would explain alot, if it's not real you would have felt it. Love is never "omg she's so sexy, i love her so much" or "He's so rich i love so much so he can buy me this and that". You get my point ! So whats that feeling of love ? is it still that nervous feeling being with that someone ? or the feeling of just going crazy all over that person ? The truth is......it is anything and everything...ever heard of love comes in different shape and sizes ? It is exactly what it means if u replace shape and sizes to anything else u can make up in ur mind. Love is variety....a person from another end of the world can fall in love with the other person on the other end of the world. I have always thought IF you want a healthy long relationship you must find someone with the same interest, same style, same taste, same carreer but i was WRONG...me and my gf is absolute the opposite...for instance....she's outgoing, im not...she's friendly, im not...she's caring, im semi caring, she's brave...im not.....im just pretty much the negative side of her and she's probally everything that i wanted to be. I have never notice these things before, thought all my life just being myself and deny everything around me...I wanted everything to go my way. You know what im talking about.....we all live under a "comfort zone"....you might call it a "shell"....where we feel we are ok at this point we need not to step outside of reality. No many people notices these things but it has something to do with how we are bought up. Love breaks that shell and makes people do crazy things they wont normally do for the sake of being happy with the other person because it is all WORTH IT ! Im a person that thinks and consider alot if that particular thing is worth doing or not. But when im with ma gurl.....that consideration is just thrown right out of the window, i would do anything and everything just to be with her. weather it be taking a free fall in genting(which i sworn to never do in my life) or just doing things im not ready to do like going over to her parents place for steamboat.....i know these are small things to you all but it isn't for me...basically this is what i felt...i would love to be a better person just so i could be with her. Dont get me wrong, im doing all those willingly and enjoying every part of it...i was not forced or anything like that. Isn't it great ? love can be a motivation and thx to her i have done things that i will normally do....im out of my comfort zone....weeeeee I felt great now like i can do anything and everything as long as my gurl is by my side...I have always thought i do not deserve a girl like u but i have realized instead of that...you deserve a better bf and I will be a better bf which is why i am looking forward to be the best i could for her and i realized that's the best way to improve myself as well as keeping this wonderful relationship that i hope will last till the very end... |

Hell of a trip ! | 9:51 PM
Alright alright upon the request of ma gurl I'll get my lazy ass to start blogging again...
5~Comments~
It has been hell of a trip for me, just took a shower comin back from the airport. Bloody 20 hours flight cramp every muscle in my body...why ? Because they didn't bloody give me the front isle seat that i requested ! I have long feet so it is very uncomfortable sitting in the same position withou moving my legs for HOURS !!!! If thats not bad enough, the front guy keep tilting his seat up and down up and down while im watching movie. Sigh* You could imagine after getting off that flight i smell like pig grease without any deodarant, for some reason i felt extra manly with that smell. LOL Well the big question is " is it all worth it going through 20++ grueling hours of flight TWICE " No doubt about it...worth every pain and....well....more like static pain since i can't move around much. This trip back to malaysia has been one of the best trip ever esspecially being able to go down to kl with ma gurl. She and the guys put up a toltally unexpected surprise....well honestly i kinda had a feeling she would be one of the surprises and the next one would be tossing me off into the lake which i was prepared to face.....hahahahaha......thank god that did not happen. But non the less, great barbaque party....we have some chefs there taking care of the food which i thought was great since usually it would end up raw or overcooked if i were to do it. I do not know how to thank you all of you for doing what u did, bringing ma gurl around while im busy and such. I couldn't get much stuff from the US for you guys this trip since im not use to the custom and such....but i will get u guys something next trip....promised Going to sing kareoke with yeu song, kai yee, seh ming and ma gurl, was one of those experiences i have never had before. Honestly i kinda like it althou im a lil shy since i do not have a good voice. But the rest of u, esspecially yeu song and kai yee sang thier heart out...i applause to both of you. Also watching ma gurl sing makes me just go speechless...she's just so good at it...absolutely an angel...even singing along makes me wanna pause and watch her sing. Seh ming is getting the hang of it and im still a bit on the shy side...will try better next time i PROMISED !! Going genting with ma gurl, just the two of us. Definitely one of those things i dreamt about but had not found the courage of going there until recently. As you all know im usually very depended on my friends since they are all great people, so much more independant than what i've become. So i decided to give it a try with some clear directions from a friend or two, we made it up there ! Bus ride was HOT as hell but it is ok since my baby is there with me, looking at her just calms things down...maybe cause she was sleeping and i was starring at her all along...oh gawd she's so adorable. There wasn;t alot of people there, buisness is going down if they don't do a thing or two bout it...the only thing keeping it alive is the casino and the hot bunny lady that works inside there...lol... You all well know i would not ride anything crazy....actually i would not ride anything at all in genting...just ask yi hong or kai yee or jimmy or whoever that went to the genting trip with mrs.see(tuition teacher) but for some reason i went for all the rides that my gf drag me through...all of the rides to be exact which is something i swear i would never ride in my entire life esspeciall that free fall thing. I guess i finally came to my senses to let my gaurd down and just enjoy it with ma baby gurl...just glad that she was happy and that is all that i care about even if i were to put myself through such adrenaline pumpin, heart droppin, breakfast vommiting rides. hahahaha....love does makes people do crazy stuff. Got lost and miss the bus finding our way back, had to pay 40 bucks for a taxi ride to the train station. haha but being with my baby gurl there makes it all worth it. Being up in the cable car ride...100's and 100's miles above the cloud at night...being with someone you love is a toltally different experiences weather it be stealing a kiss here and there while the other cable car passes by or just holding each other's hands and watch the breath taking view. Those moments are the ones that will live inside me forever. It has been a Hell of a trip, most importantly it is a safe trip no pictures for this post unfortunately. I will be down next year's summer....which i have almost 3 months to spend....im looking foward to it. |

SHIZ....was starting to think AIESEC should pay me for making thier posters or templates......hahahahaha.....jk....my work was just out of pure fun.....so there are no professional stuff in there. oh btw yi hong.....ask me to send you the real copy of it, if there are no further changes to be made. |

There goes my luck on the first day.... | 4:30 PM
Alright so I've just came back from class, a painful 15 minutes walk back to the apartment. Why ? Cause i played basketball yesterday at china town....you know....when the fun begins...the pain never seem to ever appear till the very end when u stop and rest and realized you're pushing yourself too hard after that many months sitting my ass infront of the computer. Thats what i get, it's like a pay back that my whole body is trying to tll me, don't be lazy, get out there and work those mucles. Sigh*
