Golden Section !

2009-11-20T17:58:00.000-08:00

Today's post is a about a Project i worked on in My Golden Section Class. First off, What is golden Section ? Mathematically speaking, Golden ratio = 1.618 Artistically speaking, its a ratio that makes a composition interesting. It a long way back if i were to explain what is the golden ratio. All the way back in the old Renaissance, artists and architects used it in thier work. There are those who use a mathematical way to calculate the golden ratio of a composition BUT there are also those who knew the golden ratio complete by nature, it comes naturally to them. Lets not go on with the explaination, it might bored you. However, if u want to find out more, go watch the movie Pi(1998).

Anyways...more about my project, were given 3 choices. To make either a design for a Rug, floorplan, or a tarot card. I chose to do a tarot card. Whats a tarot card ? its a card used by fortune tellers to read your fortune. Just like any deck of cards, there will be a variety of different cards. A tarot deck consist of The fool, The magician, The sun, The moon, etc.

So i choose the death card ! ahahhaha, pretty sure u guys already know.
Below are a process of measuments and finishing the idea before putting on the borders and final touch on my Tarot card.

Saying Something stupid like " I Love you "

2009-11-12T22:12:00.000-08:00

I have, in me, a side that loves classical music and some really old songs. So occasionally i would try to dig up some songs that i grew up listening but have forgotten or songs that i came across on the radio and never figured out who sang them...then again...sometimes u'll find them again by coincidence so this few videos below will forever be in my " Oldies Now " album.

This one is Hey Jude by The Beatles. Im pretty sure you all know who they are, a really wonderful group of singers. Their songs are legendary.....i'm pretty sure there are a few songs from them that i would like to post here, but thats another update :D

This next one, pretty sure u guys are familiar with, Can you feel the love tonight by Elton John. Wow this song brings back really young memories when i first heard it watching two lion doing it...oh wait its a children movie, by doing it, i mean, kissing. Gawd that female lion is HAWT, dun ask me why >.>

I dedicate this song to my gf, sook koon. Just cause we hadn't talk for a while and its hard to contact each other so was hoping she would read this post. Prays hard ~~~
Im pretty sure this is one of those songs u've heard but never got to know who sang it. Frank Sinatra is one of the best known artist/actor back in the 1950s. Song titled " Something Stupid "
weird title but a beautiful song non the less.

Poker face !!

2009-11-07T15:46:00.000-08:00

So i was watching south park as usual like every other week..last particular week however, got me thinking bout it over and over again. that episode had a plot about the Japanese killing dolphins and whales. In the middle of all that there's a scene where cartman(on the mic), Kenny(On rock band drum set), kyle(guitar hero's guitar) sang the start bit from poker face by lady gaga. Cartman was singing it and those who watch south park knows whatever cartman sings, he made a damn good impression of it. Particularly this very song got into my head and it has been a week now i could not get it out. Just like that time when i was back in KL and seh ming's caller ring-tone was set to I'm yours by Jason Marz...was hooked on that song for weeks...so watch the clip above...let me know what u think...

Pumpkin week !

2009-11-04T13:01:00.001-08:00

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

2009-10-28T20:41:00.000-07:00

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.

(click image to enlarge)

This next one is the character we are required to build after the room was done, i did not like how my creature turn out, there's just so much wrong to it that i wouldn't wan to explain. But feel free to comment on it.

Spent the whole semester doing these two project, I'm actually quite satisfy with my room but still there are some fixing to be done.

Thank you for reading
comments are appreciated

Blog Renewal Underway

2009-10-26T12:15:00.001-07:00

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 !
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

What is love ?

2009-01-31T01:31:00.000-08:00

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 !

2009-01-25T21:51:00.000-08:00

Alright alright upon the request of ma gurl I'll get my lazy ass to start blogging again...
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.

AIESEC poster done~~~

2008-09-16T01:01:00.001-07:00

Alright...here u go yi hong, i have finished it out of ur desperate need. Did not kno w there's a due date but its good enough to get me finish it...hahahaha...hardest part was probably finding the resources and knowing where to place them since we have limited pictures, i took those that make sense to me(might not seem right to other ppl) but yeah let me know if i need to do any changes . Tell me if the template actually "FEELS" right. 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....

2008-09-08T16:30:00.001-07:00

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*

First Day of class, again ended up with a bunch of ppl that do not even need this class that im taking....thier work....prefessional.....why waste time taking this class then. Toltal BS !! Yes yes i know...it essential if you wanna get better, you'll have to work with ppl that are good. BUT WHY THE TORTURE !! I know my work ain't that good, i just barely started !! cut me some slacks !!

Food For Thought ! part 2

2008-08-27T18:42:00.000-07:00

As i was saying....Food is very important...it is not only just a need for survival. Food makes me happy ! lol ! So months have passed, cooking for myself didn't work out that well since it involves way too many things and patience, for those of u that cook knows what i mean.

Basically went from cafeteria food to home cook food, now to getting food at china town. Why ? Cause its cheap and fast....but it is one of the worst Chinese food u'll most possibly get. I grew up eating chinese food so i know how chinese food should taste like, eventhou there are lil differencess from style...STILL...chinese food is chinese food..

The common stuff, char siew, siew yok, duck, chicken, chow mein, chow fun, chow fan.....ect
Good LORD....is it one of the worst chinese food i have tasted since.....since....actually thats the first time i've tasted such horrible chinese food. The siew yok tasted like pig greese, you can barely taste the meat. The char siew tasted like it has been fermented in detergen...YES...THATS HOW EXACTLY IT TASTED LIKE...the rest of the dishes are so plain it is almost.....TASTELESS. BAH...everything they do has to freakin suit the "guai lo "'s taste so it has become some shitiest food ever. Sure taste good to those "guai lo" since they have not eaten real chinese food yet.

Ladies and Gentlemen, This is a good exmaple of money over passion. Those who are in culinary arts....u well know food is all about passion. It is never because of the money you make that makes a good chef.

So i have listed the things i wan to eat back in Malaysia Hopefully when i get back i would get a taste of em.

Roti Canai !
Nasi Kandar !
SUPER SPICY Tom Yum ! Cause there's not one restaurant that serves "Spicy" food.....eventhou there is.....it is not up to the spicy lv....it's just....mild....way too freakin mild....Cause fckin "guai lo" can't eat spicy....If they were to eat spicy food back in malaysia they would bleed out of thier lungs....
ANY DISHES THAT HAS TO DO WITH CURRY !! BRING ON THE HEAT BITCHES ! Lawl !
Cendol !
Ice kacang !
Char Kuey Tiaw !
Proper Chinese Dishes !
My mum's cooking ! Never thought i would say that but yeah i miss my mum's cooking xP

Food for thought ?

2008-08-26T11:34:00.000-07:00

Fudging A...I had to post this, it has been a year now in the US since last summer. I love food cause food makes me happy. LOL...lets just keep it between U(reader) and me(eater)....i swear if u tell it to my mum, i ma gut u with a butter knife. When i first came here, thought i would enjoy the awesome food they offer. Sure i have no problems eating Western food and all. After a while i got tired of the "only meat" diet....its making me Fat and i do not feel healthy at all. So then i moved to cooking for myself like they said, homemade food are the best. Im not much of a cook, all the other 3 of my roomates are what we call "hardcore" cookers.

The one from Sri langka....im sure u've seen him in one of the pictures that i posted...well....he's the curry freak...EVERYDAY curry(freakin makes me cry whenever he's cutting those onions) a lil advice here...when u're in a small apartment and someone's cooking curry...FREAKIN GET OUT OF THE PLACE or u could just open up all the windows.

The 2nd roomate....which is from burma had a toltally different way of cooking....lets just say he's the "frying" man.....he fries all the time and my freakin laptops in the kitchen so i always gets TORTURE by those lil splashing oil dripplets. OUCH !!

Third roomate is a girl from China....she has this wonderful and creative way of cooking(i do not wan to go further into details it might gross you out)but once in a while she would cook something then goes talking on the phone for a long long time....long enough for the food to get burned/overcooked.

Then again they all are pretty good cooks unlike me, THANK GOD i did not choose culinary arts. was tempted thou.

End of part 1
OMG this post is way too long. I will have to continue on the next post.

Aha ! My tickets !

2008-08-23T22:45:00.000-07:00

Told u guys i would be back....well i did said the same things like few semester ago but did not make it back but this time it is going to be different as i promised. Freakin ticket cost me 1,600 USD which is about RM5,347. well not exactly me.....my parents....but still.....its alot of money.
Bah i guess its worth it cause it has been a while......a long freakin while since im back in malaysia to see my family and friends. Thinking of setting up some parties while im back....don't wanna waste those days do we ? I will be back on the 27th but my flight is on the 25th.......i have till January 25th so its about a month time....will probably spend like a week in KL or something. If u guys have like plans and stuff....let me know....

Oh and here's a proof of my tickets btw to eliminate those doubts :)

TADA ! had to censor some parts....personal security reasons

So yeah i'll reach Penang on the 27th T__T lost a days....sigh

Everything you know is wrong !!

2008-08-17T15:18:00.000-07:00

For the pass few days i have done nothing but ate, sleep and watch videos. Lazy and moody for some reason probably cause the new semester's bout to start and trying to....maybe....get as much rest as possible. which makes me feel way too laid back....isn't healthy at all...but its alright thou cause I've just met a few friends thats doing the same major as me....got together....had dinner and will probably play basketball at china town which is good. Somewhat of a near place since china town is like....5 minutes walk....from my apartment. A couple of semester ago i used to go play ball in an island....transportation isn't actually a problem but time is....takes me like....maybe....30 minutes just to get there ? It was great and all since its an indoor court but it is just way too tiring. so i decided to stop going but since now i found a new place to play ball at....got me all excited and adrenaline rush through these clot veins.....lol.....need to "revive" that competitive side of mine. Which makes me had this wonderful flashbacks of the times i spent in high school playin ball with all the rest of the guys...it was amazing....jimmy, yi hong, Adrian, yeu song, victor and a bunch of other guys...was memorable still up to this day...wish we could totally live those moments again.

Ok....glad i got that off me so now lets get down to what this post is all about...those that u just read has nothing to do with the title....from here on...after this post....u might actually find the REASON WHY WE ARE BORN here on planet earth....this might sound shocking but....again....i will leave it all up to u......do share what u feel thou.

The REAL fun starts here....so recently I've been going through some documentary videos of a bunch of interesting history, life, something beyond life itself. Haha.....i am indeed interested in history but....i did terrible in that particular subject back in high school and had no intention of learning history at all. Why ? here's my personal opinion....things they teach u in school...the text books especially is mostly HOAX...it was changed so the people will believe what "THEY" want you to believe. I remember talking to my friends bout it and of course their country have their own version of it..i will not go into detail about it cause it will be a long post. My point is...most percentage of history are all cover ups or made up stories from what most likely happened back at that time. That is why i was never interested in it.....however there are THOSE that claims to have the real info about it but was never allowed to exploit parts of it due to ppl who have superior control over the media, the paper, everything. This is what the world is....the powerful takes control of the weak.....easy as that. Even if they do get an opportunity to exploit them...it wouldn't be any easier. I personally do not think the ppl are ready to accept such truth since all their life they have been told and brainwashed whats right or wrong. WAKE UP PEOPLE....open your virgin eyes for once...forget what you were told...pay attention and seek the truth...find out whats RIGHT and find out you RIGHTS to know the truth.
Those banned books and video of history and stuff.....they do write or give a different but an interesting coverage of details in them which is worth exploring.

I know i am not that fond with explanation but if u would take a lil of your time to watch this video(link at the bottom of the post)....and think about it...why are we really here...i am not a crazy person who actually want to believe something based on just a video but i do think this person speaks of the truth and his conclusion are well backed up by strong sources. But i do wan to know what u think so leave your comments.

Something out of this world !

2008-08-09T23:59:00.000-07:00

Aight......back from the dead.....LOL
So i decided to start off by posting about something weird, maybe not to u but to me it is. Ever wonder are we alone ? What is the unknown ? Somebody out there is watching us(I'm not talking bout god) ? ... O.o well i have been wondering for quite a while now, do aliens really exist.....well i do not believe in ghost but i think im pretty convinced there some other life forms out there that we do not know of or maybe kept secret for thousands of years. Seeing is believing some ppl say...i have to agree with the most part of it but then again i might be wrong...so i'll let u decide later on.
Weeks ago i found this very interesting video of an alien interview...this documentary film shows a person working in area-51 was able to i guess smuggle illegally ? a tape from one of the alien experiments and they have a bunch of video analysis experts trying to see if the video's a hoax...and have the holder of the tape answer some seemingly interesting questions till a point where ghe actually got mad a few times asking classified questions. So no further delay go watch it then comment on what u think about it !

Figure Drawing class (spring semester 2008)

2008-05-28T13:23:00.000-07:00

Alright....I've promised to update u guys with what i've worked on last semester...sry for the hold up again....couldn't get vista to detect my camera so has to fix some shit....its all good now.....and i can continue with the updates. I took 4 classes last semester(spring)...Figure drawing, Figure modeling, some modern music class and an online English composition class....got my ass kicked so bad that i only sleep like 4 hours a day even thou i have like 5 days off in a week....still.....had tons and tons of energy drink on my final week.......it was tough......very VERY tough classes....who says art is all fun and play ? Blehhh.....i'll start off with my Figure modeling class....it's my Monday class.....apart from drawing naked people every week(every class we different model that posses for us for 6 hours and of course there will be breaks between different posses)....you might say " u lucky bastard "....well the thing about having to face nude models every week....it kinda gets bored after a while...its so bored that it got to a point where porn is no longer "interesting"....the experience i get from this class....well lets just say its what the tuition fee is worth....no i'm talking bout the experience of seeing naked ppl every week...u pervert....lol....i was talking bout skills....even thou i know im not going to brust to an professional level of work.....but hey....its only my 3 rd semester....and im enjoying what i do and i guess its not all about the grades(for now)....its about the knowledge that u obtain from every classes and busting ur ass doing what u can to improve before the semester ends....so non the less....here's some pictures of my work....I will give more description below the picture and will separate them in 3 different sections for 3 different major projects :

Anatomy Studies

ok.....i look half dead in this picture....ahh well.....i remember it was 3 am that time.....been working on it the whole day
Thats my roomates......he's always super hyped.....too much sugar i guess......
This is my completed art work.....decided not to show myself in here cause i look like crap...took like 20+ hours to complete it

Here's my roommate's completed art work.....different rendering style i guess....

Portrait

Me workin on it.....my left hand is currently my tool box as u can see....its much convenient that way....
Almost complete.....if u've seen my previous art work...this one is actually the same guy(Bogart Humphrey) but in a different angle....:)

Ta-daaaa.....complete :)
One of the reason i chose to draw the same guy is because i wanted to know how much I've improved since the first semester....

Master Drawing

Took me two days to complete this one......and probally the hardest one i've done....lot and LOTS of details.....sigh....still....im kinda happy with it..: )

So yeap thats the end of my first class.....there will be more....thx for reading and comments are always welcome :)

LMAO.....

2008-05-20T02:12:00.001-07:00

I know it has been a while since i posted anything on my blog.....i wan to apologize for that, personally. This semester has been.....well.....lets put it this way....am half dead right now...and i look like crap from all the stress and 3 hour sleep per day.....sometimes non(depending on the situation).....GLAD ITS ALL OVER ! I will....of course....update u guys with what i did this semester. Im multitasking right now....cleaning up the dust and webs, having talks with the insects and creatures that made their home on my deserted blog so they would leave without force(Kills them all with the worst ways possible).....although i would prefer the second option but then again....dun wan to get my hand dirty(Joseph is actuallyafraid of bugs)....i don't know why did i say that....that is so not true....anyways.....I'll start off with showing u guys this video that i found on imeem.....it's fucking hilarious....tell me what u think : )

Here are the rest of the universal phone booth prank that i found but i was not able to embed it so i'll list them here :

Meet the Spartans.....

2008-01-27T19:08:00.000-08:00

Ok i just came back from watching this movie....yes they actually made a comedy version of the 300 and its time i give it a review...yes its actually quite smart and super funny to make the all mighty king leonides do some silly shit...but then again...this movie is not worth the money im paying for to watch it....i would rather download it....and i'll tell u why if u read on....ok....so i spent 10.50USD for the ticket...which is approximately RM34.00....thats without student discount...we could and should have gotten tickets from the counter so we could get discounts...its entirely our fault fro not showing early and by the time we got there the line was extremely long and the movie starts in about 10 minutes...so we got the tickets off a machine which is so much more expensive...usually tickets only cost us 8 bucks with student discounts...anyways...so let me tell u how the movie goes...the starting was pretty funny....remember how they inspect every baby that were born...and the good ones they kept the rest they throw them off...they replace the baby with lil shrek...Yes i said lil Shrek....and he also puked all over the guy that was inspecting him xP...he was toss away anyways and finally the right baby leonides with a mustache on....that thing was super cute they even put mucles to the baby...LMAO....then the replace the BIG BAD WOLF with a chubby doll lookin penguin which i think is super retarted...they also have the usual "classic" moment where King leonides says"This is madness ? This is SPARTAAAA and he kicks the Persian messenger down to the "Pit of Death"....this part is awesome....i like how they kick so many people down the pit including BRITNEY SPEARS....LOL....yes those are some good parts of the show....they also replace ZERXES with a big fat guy that i cant seem to remember his name which i toltally like cause its stupid and funny cause he had huge piercings all over his body and his nipple fell off....but here comes the bad part....the replace the fights with break dancing....the idea toltally turns me off....its terrible....secondly they turn ZERXES into a retarted looking transformer cause he found the BOX.....that is the worst part of the movie.....completely destroys the movie...the third worst part was i think the ending where this blind fat ass spartan leads the rest of the 30,000 spartans away from battlefield and into rehabilitation center where lindsay lohan just came out of....and they knock the shit out of her.....which i think its funny but then if u wan to make comedy out of a extreme action packed movie like 300....i would say they over did it and its destroys the movie....i've seen alot of movies similar to this one where they took the idea from another movie and make a comedy out of it like the Scary movies 1,2,3 and 4....they are pretty well done....so the bottom line is....i would rate this movie a 5 out of 10....only watchable...ahaha...thx for readin....leave comments thank you

A trip with uncle George and John

2008-01-20T23:33:00.000-08:00

I know i know...its entierly my fault for not updating my blog....i was in LAZY ASS mode....ahaha....was too lazy to actually blog so my appologies to u people....im sorry...alright enough with that....so yesterday....19th Jan 2008....My uncle came to visit me and i was asked to meet up in Macauthur which is near he bay area so i have to take the BART(train)....It was my first time taking bart by myself so i did a lil research the night before the event and i dowloaded a map of the Bart System Map to my ipod just incase...was super nervous if i would get lost cause u never know....even sometime ur well prepared....shit happens...and u're Fucked
...Any how i got up early at 7 am the other morning gettin prepared for the trip....got to the station and everything was super smooth.....bought my ticket....the electric board signs were super clear....there we're signs everywhere in the station so u would know where u are....and a noob like me hav no problem getting to where i wan....the trains were extremly good in timing...not to mention it was extremly fast too....jesus christ....i could toltally feel the speed was pulling me back to my seat and my ears were filled with pressure xP....awesome ride i might say....so i got off the train....and my uncles were there to pick me up along with a friend....so first thing we did....GET BREAK FAST !!!

The food was amazing here.....i mean its REAL food cause back in the apartment i've been oderng food online and have people deliver it to me....and its all packed food....its eatable but still....u'll get bored after a while....I had patatoes 2 pieces of toast and an omelete filled with bacon cheese and also mushroom i think which is delicious !

So after breakfast we got back to Uncle John's parent's house....and all the geeks were put to work trying to hack the IPHONE that he newly bought...In the US they lock pretty much every phone u buyso u have to register to some company that they provide....but if u want to use ur own sim card like from malaysia or somethin....u'll not be able to use it unless u unlock it....thats what we're doin xP shhhhh its illegal xP

After all that hacking and cracking....dissapointingly we didn't managed to unlock it but we came very close....im sure we're able to do it if we had more time but then it will ruined the day....dont wanna do that XP so we head for lunch at some vietnamese restaurant

Food was pretty decent...lots of greens xP

After the meal....took about almost 2 hours to get us up to the mountain top(we drove) The scenely is just breat taking and we're so high on top i can almost fly....literaly xP

Thats me taking pictures xP

Thats Us(im lazy to describe)

Alright...so after all that Hiking....we went to have dinner with uncle john's family members....its was great....we ate at this really awesome italian restaurant...INTALIAN MA FAVOURITE xP

The kids seems to enjoy plain pasta with butter....im having the Rissoto which is a kind of italian rice...one of my favourite dishes in a italian restaurant....we had calamari for starter and some wine....

Its was a super fun day....hope to do it again....well thats about all right now....so thx for reading and pls leave comments xP
have a nice day people

My Experimental Animation Class FInal...

2007-12-23T04:12:00.000-08:00

Wohoo 2 post in a row....1 more to go....u guys want updates....u've got'em...XD....Alright so....Experiemntal animation class....had this really awesome teacher name Ed....he was a cool instructor and still am....one of the best i would say since i came from a place where teacher would beat the crap out of thier student...for example i had this one teacher when i was in prmary school....it was a tuition teacher....i remember his first name was wong....he was so fucking cruel...talking bout him just makes my blood boiled and whatever he's done i will not forget it EVER.....i still remember those cruel days.....tuitioning with jimmy, shu xian, derek i think....with that fucking teacher....i rememebr how he use to slapped us for not understanding words FORCEFULLY....and worst of all our parents was so supportive of him which made him in full control....those scars i will remember forever....someday....just someday....if i ever saw him....god have mercy on what im about to do to this guy....i've sat down and talk over with my buddies while having a few cans of booze....they said it was bloody cruel cause in the US even parents aren't supposed to beat children....even alot of places now parents nor teacher will be able to beat parents....i seriously wonder what will beating teach kids....its not going to make a child anymore behaving or garauntee of him not making the same mistake by giving him pain and fear....the best way is to explain to him/her and if that dosen;t work then let him make that mistake....isn't that how we all learn ? making mistakes are a big part of learning....
i feel really pitty for those kids getting beaten by thier parents or teachers or just anybody....it makes me wanna go there and beat him like how he beat that child.....well back then i won't blame my mum for agreeing with the teacher for beating me....cause there are too much influence around....i still remember going out with my mum and her friends.....they're discussing how badly thier child behave....all of them said if ur child is notty just beat them....they'll learn...god if i were this age back then i would grab that lady and shove those words back into her mouth....anyways lets get back to my animation....all that i've said its just my personal opinion so dun take it so hard k....so working on this animation had made me going nuts....XD....its so insane having an awesome class with people that does amazing animation....it gets me excited so i'll have to come out with something even better....even thou its my second semester i want to make people say Woah in my animation....XD.....this animation took me alot of time and effort and now to mention those sleepless nights to make.....so its driving me nuts XD

Hard Core Drillin XD

Those holes are for my puppet to screw on....planning footsteps is alot of work too XP

Half way and still going...pant* pant*

Computer Animation Production class(pressure's off)

2007-12-22T13:49:00.001-08:00

OMG....finally its the end of the semester and my final is over !!! WOO HOO....i could have posted this blog yesterday but i was too busy getting wasted with some bottles of Heineken...remember telling my friend right after yesterday im jut going to go into hivernation mood and sleep the whole winter off....XD....man....u have no idea how tiring it was....4 finals all rushing to due last this week....and its not like i just wan a plain C for my project....of course im aimming for the best result...thank god thats over...all that sleeplest nights...my brains were constantly giving me ideas on what to make in my animation or what to add....it nearly gave up on me near the end of the week...almost all my body parts are just shutting down...still prayed alot...alot of energy drinks...alot of chocolate bar...alot of instant noodle....and alot of vitamin water to keep me awake and going...XD...

Alright here's the first demoreel i have ever done.....im sure u guys know what a demo reel is right ? Well if u don't then its sort of like a job port folio...where u need to show what u capable of doing or how good ur animation are depends on what job u're applying with...I learn this in a whole semester...believe me....i dun think i would be able to do it without annie and heather's help...i constantly bug them for help XD i think they hate me now....ahahaha....God remembering how easy the first semester was just playing around with the software and now the second semester toltally gave me a feel of how kick ass animation classes could be...and the worst part is.....its only my 2nd semester....I spent alot time on this demoreel and i remember while i was doing the production logo....and also the House modelling....Luka(my instructor)...well lets put it this way...everytime i show something up....he would critic a hell lot to it...well to me i hated it...then after a while i kinda miss him critic my work....cause the only way to get better is to have ur instructor to tell u what u need to work on and not worry aboutmaking mistakes cause they help u in life...so yesterday was my last class with Luka...and when he was viewing my demo reel on that Big ass projector screen...XD....and he watched it 2 times....and he said " well chia....i have only 1 thing i would like to say...if u're doing a demoreel and on the house modeling part...u cannot have 2 same pictures with 2 different textured houses.....something something something....and nice work" I was....err....err....OKKIEEE......because shockingly he didn't say much about it was my main concern....does that means he likes it ? or does it means he hates it ? oh god....we'll see how it goes when the grades comes out....i couldn't take a clear picture of him thou...anyways here some picture of my class....enjoy

Ahah...thats the whole class watching my production...and thats a big ass screen....yes its my production cause thats the sword from the beginning...watch the video if u have not...XD

Thats luka helping out my classmate

Thats how the class look like when i came in at 7:45am....class starts at 8:30am...XD i went there early to give the last touch to my project before showing it...XD

EA !

2007-12-09T02:24:00.000-08:00

Alright....finally finish shooting my movie....GOD....glad thats over...couldn't believe a 2 minute movie takes me 2 days to days in seperate weeks to shoot it...damn...anyways....i'm gonna have to pray alot and hopefully god's on my side that the film comes out good....anyways this post isn't bout that...for some reason my university had a bunch of connection with some really huge companies like pixar..nikelodeon...dreamworks and so on....I've only been to 2 of those presentation thats held in my university's auditorium....one of them is Pixar and im sure u've seen it in my previous blog(if u have not then go check them out)...and the second one...EA...althou i've been having a really busy week for me dealing with the finals all up my Ass....i decided to show up for the EA presentation because i've been a big fan of EA's games over the years and one of them is of course THE SIMS....ahaha....i was a lil dissapointed that not many showed up maybe thats because they pick to have the whole presentation at 10am in the morning !!! GOSH !! people have classes at that time and most important NEED MY BEAUTY SLEEP !! Well non the less its worth it....and also considering working for EA...might go for the Internship in summer when im ready....while waiting for my pictures to be uploaded lets talk a lil more...let me ask u something....what normally motivates a person to strive ? well normally people say challenge people who are better than u....i've always wonder why i disagree with that until this semester...normally i would be motivated when i know there's somebody thats not as good as i am....u might think im a jerk...but why not u ask urself the same question...and im sure there's a part of u thats takes people that are worst than u for comfort...its normally...so recently...i notice that thinking is wrong....not completely but still....wrong....my work may not be professional level...but if im able to go as close as challenging those professionals in my class....then even i won't be as good as them right now...i know i came close and gave whatever i got...so i won't regret and said i should have done this i should have done that...ahhh finally here are the pictures..

My clay puppet animation 2(tun tun tunnnnn[sound effect]) !!

2007-12-02T20:38:00.000-08:00

FIrst of all....my clay puppet animation will have 3 parts to it since its my final project so we're given a reasonable time to work on it....and i will make use of every single second of that time....literally...XD....apart from the pressure of me having to shoot a movie for my storyboarding class....its my first movie and i have 3 actors...and im the director...sounds fun isn't it ? believe me.....thou its fun....its tons of pressure having to care about ur actors ,downtown location where all the people are walking around...well atleast im in america....people are much much nicer where they'll wait for u to take the shoot and they'll not walk into it while u're shooting...i guess its the " i do care about what u're doing " that makes me like to live where i am right now....if i were to shoot a movie in malaysia...there will definitely people think that u're insane....crazy.....lost ur mind.....or a retard....and not to mention the "i dont give a fuck" attitude...well there's still people that actually cared....its a long way if malaysia wants other country to look up to....atleast i know i won't have much respect for my own country despite thats where i came from....then again...who knows what lies ahead in the future....ayways....i'll be posting a section for the movie i shoot later on when im finish with it....now back to my clay puppet animation...YAY....Aren't u EXCITED ? No ? I felt sorry for u cause i am very excited !! XD Im sure u guys have seen my first post about my first character...well i decided to create another one since im satisfied with it and my teacher likes it...so im sure u've notice on my previous post i have two characters drawn....ICHIGO and BYAKUYA(both from Bleach)....yeap u've guessed it !! My second character is Byakuya...it might look really crappy...but hey i have no regrets....:)

o.O thats both of thier head....if u notice....there's no mouth....i decided not to make them because well it adds a serious look to it and best of all there will be not talking when im animating :) For some reason when i was building byakuya....his hair pieces keep falling off because they're really long...bummer...still....the clothes are the hardest to make and sew...
Completed them....ahaha....for sale in stores right now on ebay/amazon.....put ur bids people.....get ur hands on one of these babies....XD....IM joking...u'll never EVER ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever get ur hands on these babies....they're mine !!! i'll tell u what u could do....u could leave ur comments :)

Thx Giving !!

My Clay Puppet...ROARrrrrrrrr

2007-11-14T00:52:00.000-08:00

Ok i know i've not been updating my blog lately....its not cause im lazy its cause im stuck up with my work....jeez....i seriously need a break...lol....then again i enjoying doing those work...im seriously considering going to Los Angeles to take the winter semester off...good time for me to go travelling....we'll see how it goes and i might not come back to malaysia this year....its a big dissapointment....but well the ticket fee is expensive so i might go back next year somewhere in april....and franklin pls confirm when u've made up ur mind bout it....RIGHT....glad i got that off my mind...now to the topic....im suppose to create my own clay puppet and animate it.....sounds fun....to me it is...don't know bout guys....i've always wanted to make my own character....ahaha....alright....u KNOW im going to explain all these with pictures so .....read on people....XD

Ok this was mainly the sketch out of some character choices that i was going to make...and yes if u watch BLEACH u definitely know who are those two...Ichigo and Byakuya

Ahhhh.....sculpies....u gotta love'em if u're making a puppet like me....i bought a bunch of these so i can fit the colours to my character...and basicly what it does is u just hand shape them to whatever shape u like and put it into the oven and bake for 15 minutes and it will be AS HARD AS A ROCK....and im not joking....i threw one of these to my friend just for testing and it hit him right on the head and now he's not talkin to me....bummer...

Aha !!! the head....i dun think it look like ichigo so i added a lil touch on my own so it won't consider copying other people's work
=.=

Thats a close up of it...its still steammy hot...just took it out from the oven....and my hand still hurts !!

Yeap thats the complete look of it....some tools i use during the process...Big Ass Scissor....bandages....incase i lose on of my F*kin fingers....ahahah....i was just joking...those are high quality bandages where i wrap them around my puppet arm and part of his body because i was lazy to make another sleeve for it...and lastly..ICE CREAM !! its not just an odinary ice cream its my fav. Haagen-Dazs Rum Risin flavour....u could get high of this ice cream...XD

Here's a closer view to it...My complete puppet character...took me 4 days to complete....wish i had more time....i don't know it looks nice or not....i would say it need more work...ahaha...think i can sell it on ebay ? LOL anyways thx for reading....comments appreciated~~

2007-10-21T17:31:00.000-07:00

Want to know how i did all that ? Well it no secret really...everybody can do it...it surely looks simply enough....u're wrong !! its not simple....infact its more complicated then u think...haha...thou it is possible for anyone to make it....let me show u an inside look on how i did all that...its an assignment part of my Experimental animation class....yeap thats right...its also the class where i make all my claymation(short term for clay animation)...as usual i will explain things with pictures k so even thou who can't read can understand unless ur blind...lol....im just joking...so here it goes :
This is the whole character and background plan out so i can cute them out later...and thats how i started out doing it....
This is my work station....sort of a lab for my experimental animation class...very expensive equipment they have in there i wouldn't want to mess with them too much..
Thats all my cheap equipments..XD..yes i have a red pencil box...it was on sale...nothing funny about that.. =.=
This is how u set up ur items,background,characters,etc....and no i didn't put my wallet and phone to show off....its just to hold the paper still...thats the video cam up there....
Thats a MAC...im starting to like what it can do now that i've use it....u see that paper on the left ? if u zoom in u're able to see i have the whole lyrics of the voice clips thats will be use to do the South Park Clip....it is a pain in the ASS to figure out the seconds as sson as they open thier mouth and shut them....we animators don't deal with just 1 second....1 second to u guys might be quick to us...1 second is 24 frames so there alot happening in just 1 second...24 pictures to take and to figure out the motion u're going to capture and to move ur character 24 times in that 1 tiny second is hard...im sure u get the idea so even if i explain further u won't be able to understand anyway until u've actually tried it...

Alright as u all know im a student on budget esspecially in US....i know that sucks...with all the nice clothings around u all u can do is just window shop...well i found a better way to get some extra income for FREE....yes u heard me i say free...i know u might think this is some bullshit...well...i started 4 weeks ago and now i have more than 10USD....i know its not much but hey it will grow...let me show u the web page just incase u don't know what im talking about :

http://adbux.org/?r=joegene89

http://bux.to/?r=joegene89

Let me explain how this work....all u need is a paypal account where u can sign up at www.paypal.com...that is how they are going to pay u....through paypal....i do alot of online shopping so i use paypal alot to pay for my items...u can also ask them to credit into ur credit card in paypal....

secondly sign up for adbux and buxto....and basicly all u need to do is just to click advertisements and they'll pay u 0.01USD per advertisement clicked...the more u click the more u will earn...sounds easy enough ? its free cash....personally i remember in high school some of my friends offer me to join some company to invest a lil money on....i denied it because it cause money to enter and its too dangerous...but this one is toltally different...its toltally free...so what are u waiting for ? Oh one more thing....i have a software that autoclicks the advertisements for u so....what more can i say all u need to do is leave ur computer on and the program running....$$ are entering ur pocket as it is entering mine right now as im writting this blog....so don't hesitate....if u want more details...drop me a message in msn....thx for reading

Never knew a simple shape would be that fun to do....

2007-09-27T01:36:00.000-07:00

Continuing from my previous post....today's class was pretty fun....we did some frame by frame animation using plastisine...for some of u guys might think its lame and boring well like i care....as long as i like it that is what matters...so i'll let my video do the talking and i'll try to make it as interesting as possible....took me 2 hours to did all that so enjoy....

This one was a lil weird cause we're supposed to do a sphere jumping....i mean....how the hell am i going to do that without holding the sphere which will end up seeing my hand in the frames....so i thought of doing a wave form kinda jumping...somehow it kinda works....haha lucky me

Alright i didn;t have much time on this one so i did a really quick animation on the worm moving through the screen and that sphere on the back was supposed to be an apple...sigh* didn't have time to make it...

Among all 3 of these frame by frame animations....i like this one the most and it took me an hour to complete it...time consuming but worth it...it may look short and simple...believe me when u're actually doing it...its a pain in the ass

A lil animation(frame by frame)

2007-09-25T19:20:00.000-07:00

Alright i decided to let u guys have an inside look on what i do in my classes....this video was done last week in my Animation Production class....let me explain a lil about this video....even thou its really small....10 sec video...it takes me around an hour to complete doing it....why ? thats cause this is done frame by frame....which means 1 sec of video = 24 frame which also adds up to 240 frames for a 10 second video....ok u must be confeused at this point...let me explain how i did all that..first u have to set up ur items u wan to show in the video then have the video camera connected to MAC and the software im using is call IMOTION....so 1 frame = 1 picture captured...so all u have to do is just move ur objects around and take picture....move it around again take picture again....and repeat the same thing over and over again so in my case i have to capture all 240 pictures to make this video and then compress it.....have fun watching it....and yes u might say im promoting starbucks thats what my lecturer asked me....hahahaha....again....comments would be apprecieated !!

THINGS u didn't know about Pokemon

2007-08-07T03:01:00.000-07:00

Alright...Pokemon was part of me back in the days when i was small....haha....thats why i thought of posting some true facts that i came across in the net the other day....check it out..

Religion

Pokémon has been criticized by members of both the Christian and Jewish religions.

After the US release of Pokémon Yellow, a sudden widespread criticism of it passed through Christian congregations primarily by word-of-mouth. Some Christian groups in the United States believe Pokémon to be Satanic in origin. Claimed parallels between Pokémon and Satanism include the capturing and invoking of Pokémon to perform tasks, similar to demons; the concept of Pokémon "evolution," which denies some forms of biblical interpretation; and certain abilities of Pokémon, such as psychic or elemental powers, not stated to derive from God.^[16]

In 2001, Saudi Arabia banned Pokémon games and cards, alleging that the franchise promoted Zionism.^[17]

Health

Main article: Banned episodes of Pokémon

One frame of the scene that caused the seizures.

On December 16, 1997, more than 635 Japanese children were admitted to hospitals with convulsive epileptic seizures. It was determined that the seizures were caused by watching an episode of Pokémon, "Dennō Senshi Porygon," (most commonly translated "Electric Soldier Porygon", season 1, episode 38); as a result, this episode has not been aired since. In this particular episode, there were bright explosions with rapidly-alternating blue and red color patterns.^[18] It was determined in subsequent research that these strobing light effects cause some individuals to have epileptic seizures, even if the person had no previous history of epilepsy. As a consequence, many publishers (including Nintendo) added warning labels to their video game products (or made pre-existing labels more prominent), warning that exposure to video games may trigger seizures in individuals vulnerable to photosensitive epilepsy.

This incident is the most common focus of Pokémon-related parodies in other media, and was lampooned by The Simpsons episode "Thirty Minutes over Tokyo"^[19] and the South Park episode "Chinpokomon," among others.

LOL seriously...i'm toltally speechless....maybe i should stop waching naruto....hmmm.....maybe not....ROLF

Do u play maple to hack or do u hack to play maple ?

2007-06-01T07:55:00.000-07:00

Alright for the pass few months i've been playing a game name maplestory which in asia its maplesea which i never thought of playing cause it looks like some childish 2D kids game...I'm gonna sort of make a review on this game yet at the same time ease my anger upon that game...ok it was just yesterday my 3rd account was banned from hacking...as usual...i made it to lv 80 dragon knight....had 23milion in that account....and i wasn't angry bout my account being banned...yes i did say anger in the first place but no its not the time yet and will tell u what i'm angry of if u read on....might get a lil boring thou for u people who don't play maple...lets start...so i was really into hacking games any game i play there's not a moment i won;t think of hacking it...yes u might say whats the point of playing if ur just gonna cheat it...well i'm gonna tell u why and i'm using maple as an example....playing maple for the pass few months gave me some experiences i think i should share with u guys...i made a few frens in maple and i only told some of them i hacked...i lved so fast in like 1 month i can get to lv 50 by playing 2-4 hours a day....some of my maple frens play more than 6 hours perday and they can't even lv till 50 over a year....for people that constantly play maple 24/7 yes maybe they could achieve high levels in a shorter amount of time but imagine what that will do to your health...and i know some of u are exactly like that...u know it urself...to those people who are like that...my advice is...GO GET A LIFE !!!! Man ok this is the angry part...as some online games u can buy cash points which will let u have extra items, weapons, armour or effects and so on and maple Among all the other online games its the most money consuming game....in this game everthing is money....moeny money money....and i can bet right now while i'm blogging there's kids trying to steal money from thier parents drawer right now just to buy the cash card....This game is so darn hard to level up and even for a hacker like myself i even have to buy a total of more than RM70 cash points just to get my character to lv up....imagine those who didn't hack and spent the rest of thier lifes playing maple how much would they spent on this game and also imagine those who level till 100+....spent over RM1000 on a stupid game ? i'm not just guessing...there IS people who spent that much on this childish 2D game...This is supposed to be a kids game and believe me there's a lot of kids playing this game...some told me they safe up money by not eating lunch and stuff in school just to buy maple cash card...man...and guess what after they banned me this is what they sent me "
