1 and 0.5 months to end of National service. What am I feeling?

Frightened.

I have to be more serious now, because i want to be able to support myself and my family including my gf. I have to work hard and be serious, trying to climb up the ladder to earn more money to buy a house and get married.

NOT. HAHA.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF LIVING WHEN U LIVE A LIFE THAT IS THE SAME AS 5 BILLION PPL ON EARTH?!

HERE's my real plan:

1) Find a job.
2) Buy a car.
3) Think of multiple million $ ideas, and execute them.
4) Get rich.
5) Buy a better car, get married and have children.

THINK BIG PEOPLE!!!

*The point of this post is to hope that the people who read this changes their view on having a daily boring job.

Hair's pretty flat though. Work in progress.

I got quicker

Haven't been blogging, busy, lazy...whatever. Just realised that if I let this blog die, it will have the exact amount of post on my previous blog, 53 posts.

Today was so bored, I did something and realised I became faster and faster on making 3D objects! well the training started when I had to do my 3d homework overnight in poly, hehe.

I made this in 3 hours, with very little reference. Of course it's not completed. It's an Anime char with slightly feminine looks, not "yaoi"... erm maybe. well who do u think he is? Clue is in the title.

ignore the ugly ears, they are for reference.

Broadcast Asia

2006-06-24T20:32:00.000+08:00

My team @ work went to Broadcast Asia exhibition @ the Expo. Before that, we went to ECP for lunch. Guowen took this sandcastle pic when we were leaving.

and someone forgot her nipple stickers.

Busy... Pimple, car.

2006-06-18T17:28:00.000+08:00

Well the fever lasted 5 days. Been doing portfolio/freelance, "working" hard in NS, and looking forward to my ORD in December. Seems blogging makes the day comes later. lol.

Anyone saw this car b4?

Adobe PSCS2 Seminar

2006-06-01T19:17:00.000+08:00

Guowen and I went for all 3 of them, Photoshop seminar for General Users, for Creative users, and for Photographers. It's really fruitful and we learned a lot. I came back and tried out some techniques... These are pics taken @ Changi Jetty. If anyone has a camera phone, you should know how crappy the pics will turn out when taken with low light.

New Bag

2006-05-30T10:06:00.000+08:00

Been busy. Last weekend was tiring but memorable. First, my gf and I went to changi village and its new jetty, then the next day, we went to ECP till late in the night. She bought me a new bag from Bugis street. It's the color which I think will be "in" soon. Almost same color as my OP desginer file, and this blog. I promised to bring her overseas again for her birthday in September.

BTW, happy belated birthday Guowen. Grow up.

Or at least grow some facial hair.

Or pubes.

Mother's Day

2006-05-17T22:21:00.000+08:00

Animal Cruelty

2006-05-05T09:52:00.000+08:00

Saw this when Guowen and I were getting refreshments for a workshop. Some f*** a** s*** people were kicking the cage. I wanted to scold them but had no power to do so.

The Artist's Pride

2006-05-02T19:13:00.000+08:00

pride P Pronunciation Key (prd): A sense of one's own proper dignity or value; self-respect.

Photographers needs a good camera to take soulful pictures. Artists need good pencils to draw beautiful sketches. A Music junkie uses a good pair of earphones for clarity. Gamers want a big screen to enjoy their games. I bought this for my pride in drawing good concept sketches.

Saw this @ City Hall Mrt station. Please do your part and help out.

This is why!!!!

Mt Fuji (Fuji San)

2006-04-12T21:18:00.000+08:00

It wasn't snowing at Mt Fuji but there were snow on the ground. It's the first time I saw snow and it simply looks like ice kachang, with dirt as the toppings (lol). As there's a big difference in temperature between Fuji and where we were, which creates fog, Mt Fuji will appear, then disappear, which is why my first pic of Mt Fuji looks faint.

I like the 3rd pic.

Sakura

2006-04-11T22:38:00.000+08:00

It's not Japan's national flower, yet it represents Japan. My gf and I are lucky enough to be there when it bloomed fully.

It did not disappear.

It's just that the place is too dark.

It's still there...

ARGHHH!!!

OMFG 2!!!

OMFG

2006-03-28T21:00:00.000+08:00

I thought it's alive.

I opened the door.

It was flat in the middle.

Squashed.

Arghhh!!!!!

OMFG!

Where's my curry?

2006-03-27T22:27:00.000+08:00

Was a joke between me and Guowen when the General of the Indian Army came for a visit at my work place. We bought them bread and pastries from Four Leaves for the Indians and wondering if he would say "Where's my curry?" This is the cheese prata I love from Lot 1.

Craving...

2006-03-26T01:45:00.000+08:00

... for something nutty?

Enjoy.

Changing behind the bushes...

2006-03-25T13:21:00.000+08:00

...how silly is that? Took this at a roof garden in Raffles Town Club. My N90 was sent to the Nokia Care Centre after the camera lens cover metal piece dropped out, after I drop my phone. (2nd time)

Took this sometime ago in my office where there are a lot of soft lights which makes wonderful shadows for product shots.

Heli Toy

2006-03-20T20:17:00.000+08:00

After I went back to Far East Square to change my Doraemon Toy, the uncle demonstrated to me another flying toy which is the helicopter. It's more expensive, it seems to be able to fly better but not as amusing. The heli crashed several times in the vid though.

2006-03-15T23:10:00.000+08:00

Last sunday, I bought a Doraemon flying toy @ far east square's flea market. The uncle demonstrated to me the toy and I couldn't resist buying it. Sadly, it doesn't work after a day I played with it. I'll go exchange it with the uncle this weekend. He gave me a month warranty.

Today, I went out with Elaine, intially wanted to watch the Dorm @ Lido but the tickets were sold out. We had dinner @ Crystal Jade, then we went to Plaza Singapura and I used only a dollar to catch this toy from the arcade!

Goodbye, our beloved G50s

2006-03-09T21:46:00.000+08:00

2 years ago, my Gf and I bought the same phones, the Panasonic G50, the smallest color phone in the world, with WAP (gasp). 2 years passed, it became problematic (probably because from dropping too much), and I bought a N90 while my Gf bought a N70.

Goodbye G50s, thanks for being with us, I'll always remember the good and difficult times the 4 of us were together.

Poor Ronald

2006-03-08T22:21:00.000+08:00

From my house at Yew Tee, I walked to Choa Chu Kang, Lot 1, with my Gf. We played some Initial D, then I went to Mac to buy iced Milo. I saw poor Ronald's legs being chopped off and his hands nailed to a house to make people donate money.

There's this episode of Wallace and Gromit where they build a rocket and fly to the moon to get cheese... I did the same this weekend.

Sweet Memories

2006-03-03T22:42:00.000+08:00

Took this when I went to East Coast Park couple of days ago. The picture didn't turn out as clear as I wanted as 2MP is not enough for the details. I photoshopped and turned it into a postcard instead and thought it looks pretty sweet.

Me, my Boss and my N90

2006-03-02T20:15:00.000+08:00

Today my Office Head asked me if I want to do more work. What kind of question is that? I recently did a 3d animation for him and it's shown during visits, I didn't even know it represents what my office is doing -_-" He liked it. Recently my office is on tv which says how we will influence the 3G SAF, cool.

Suddenly I like my NS. I'm part of the development team to design software for SAF, so I felt "big" for once. Anyway, my answer to my boss was "umm, no". Lol. I sound rude, but luckily I told him I have development work to do, and he said thats more important.

Took a cab home and found a sports mode on my N90 so I tried it. Pretty cool.

No more 3-in-1 Crapee

2006-02-21T22:26:00.000+08:00

After work, I went to Lot 1 and there's a warehouse sale of "Ichiban" products. Initially I was looking at a toaster but it's sold out. This Coffee maker which looks pretty fine for a really low price caught my eyes. So I got it.

Orange pipes

2006-02-20T23:10:00.000+08:00

Yet another Monday has passed. Monday, a bad day. I always felt that I couldn't get enough "play" on weekends, hence I tend to sleep late on Sunday nights, resulting in tired Mondays. Needless to say, today's practical is again another disaster. I blame you, Mondays...

Orange pipes: Took this on the bus home (edited)

Bugis, then Esplanade

2006-02-18T23:57:00.000+08:00

I met up with Lester today @ Bugis Junction. He to play Bleach on psp with me, he just bought a psp too! We played Initial D then had dinner @ Raffles Hospital.

Elaine got jealous that I went out with Lester so she wanted to meet me after that. We went to Esplanade for icecream and cheeze cake @ Häagen-Dazs.

Lester preparing to versus me in Bleach.

Elaine thinking which cakes to order

Chief, are you jealous?

2006-02-17T22:16:00.000+08:00

My Chief Clerk would always kick up a big fuss over MCs, luckily now I'm not directly under her nor do I have to see her fat face. I think she's just jealous that her MCs are limited whereas NSFs aren't.

However, today I went to work even though I have an MC.

Chief, are you jealous? (of my MC)

Valentines 2006

2006-02-16T21:48:00.000+08:00
