Just another day..

Recently I've been trying very..very.. hard to finish the animation that I left for a year ago, trying to finish the unfinished flash game that I left for dunno how long ago and I need to handle my uni work as well. There was time when I feel like am I really suitable for this Multimedia & Digital Art thingy. I think slowly I get to like it…no I think I love doing animation, flash interactive or even the website. Drawing out your idea and building those artworks is like some kind of addicts. I’ve been going out to bookshop, getting those books and references trying to improve and polish my skill in this field. Why I’ve never doing all these things that I’ve been doing it these past few months? Before this I was just trying to get a degree and graduate from uni. Isn’t that stupid?

There is so much I want to do after I graduate from uni. One of the plans is working for my dad at Indonesia while during my own time, I will be making my own animation or some digital art work. I’m not sure everything will go according to my plan but at least I know myself love doing animation. I don’t want those skills I’ve been learning past few years just gone like that. If I get the chance to work in one of the animation studio here in Australia I think I’ll love to but the chances is almost zero. Helping my dad in his business also part of my wishes cos every time I look at him, I really wanted to help him. Up until now, my dad did everything on his own, at least now there is brother helping him but that won’t be enough. His business is just so tough and I don’t know if I can handle them so well like my dad did. All the people around him, those workers.. all cannot be trusted. That’s why my dad have to do everything by himself. I think you can’t blame anyone. In this world, if you don’t eat them, someday they will turn around and eat you. At least that is what I know so far in the business world. I’ve been growing up and my mum keep reminding me, there is no one that you can trust 100% even that person is your family. At first I don’t agree with that but after a while I start to believe it.

There is a sentence that read like this “ huo dao lao, xue dao lao” meaning you will keep learning new stuff throughout your whole life. There are so many things await you to learn and even you get to live till 200 years old, I still don’t think you can learn everything in this world. What is this got to do with my life? I think this sentence greatly affects me. I always blame myself why I don’t learn from my young age and up until now only I start polishing my skill in design and animation field. I feel like I can’t learn as fast as I did back when I’m young. I feel like I’m getting old. I always forget the stuff that I just learn few minutes ago. What happen if I turned 30 or 40 years old later? This word age really creep me out. I’m not a coward that scare to age and die but I just scare I will be forgetting this and that. I think no one ever worried about this matter accept me. You see I’m 25 years old. I’ve been asking myself for the past 5 years, “What had you accomplished so far?” I think so far I only got my UPSR CERT, PMR CERT, SPM CERT, YEAR 12 CERT, and Art & Design Diploma and I’m already 25 years old. What I have been doing all these years? I also don’t know. I will gets my Degree cert in Art & Design Multimedia & Digital Arts very very soon and that’s where I think my tough life begin.

What I have to do now is get my degree cert and finish my uni and I’ve been trying very hard to accomplish it. That’s is all I got to do now. Hopefully in about a month or so, my animation will finish as well as my own website. Trust me, I’ve been working really hard on them these past months. I’ve been saying that I will update my blog layout past few months but up until now it still the same. Nothing change at all. I’m still working on them…yea excuses and excuses.

and yeah..I written this entry at my uni and I'm still at my uni now..

My Nikon D80 back to daddy!

My D80 been to the clinic for the past 2 months. Yes! 2 months! It takes 2 months to fix it but worth it. I'm really excited after getting it back from the clinic. I can't hold back any longer and start taking pictures with it. I'm not sure what is the problem last time, but for this Nikon D80, they always have this problem. Below is the image of the item they change.

Why I said I bring my camera to clinic? Look at the invoice below, the workshop that help me to fix my camera is actually a "Camera Clinic".

It says, "Dismantle the camera replace the aperture unit, adjust the shutter speeds. Clean the imager and the optics as require. Reassemble and test the communication, image quality and the focus. Updated firmware."

They help me to change the broken aperture unit, adjust and clean some of the mechanic inside plus help me to update my firmware. Which afterward I feel it is worth to pay $ 295 which is RM826. As stated in the invoice, the aperture unit only cost $65 but the labour charge is fucking $180. Anyway. I did went to shopping as well. Didn't bought much. Just 2 fcuk tee. I've been so busy with my studio works and today's shopping really bring my life back. I've been staying in my house for the past 3 weeks.. the only place I go is the supermarket behind my house to stock some foods. I feel so released after all the works finished. This holiday, I'll just need finish up the animation and the studio work before uni re-open. Yea, its sound stupid. Holiday also got work need to finish up.. but I got no choice. Just stick with it.

FCUK SALE!

FCUK TEE!
ANOTHER FCUK TEE!

New Iphone 3G-S ?


They got everything that I wanted on my iphone accept video calling. Where is the video calling? Apple keep coming out with new model of iphone but theres always something missing. Clever way to get more profit. Click here to see what's inside new Iphone 3G-S.

I don't think I will buy the new iphone. My current iphone 3G is good enough, plus I only need to update the 3.0 firmware. For now, I just have to wait patiently for the Dev team to jailbreak the official 3.0 firmware.

Between I got an awesome Iphone wallpaper.



Yeah I got a white Iphone 3G. Is not new but is about 1 year old. The AWESOME Gucci wallpaper really fit perfectly on my iphone screen. I sold my first generation Iphone to my buddy cos I don't really like the first generation iphone. I can't online through 3G, but now I can online everywhere I like. Although the speed is slow, but enough for my daily usage. If you love Gucci as much as I do, then I think you will love the wallpaper below.

Its not created by me but I google it. Now I can't wait to get hold to the new 3.0 firmware. Then I will decide if I want to get the new Iphone 3G-S. I was saving up for Wacom Cintiq. Recently I just wasted $375 aussie dollar to fix my DSLR Nikon D80. That is about RM1k. Its been 2 months! My Nikon D80 live in the workshop for 2 months. I'm not sure what took them so long to fix it. Damn.. I really need that Wacom Cintiq to draw my animation.

This thing above cost around $1400 aussie dollar. I want it so much. Haha. Next week! Yeah I'm going to get one next week. Forget about the new Iphone. Over the whole winter break, I just need to stay at home and finish up my animation with this Wacom Cintiq, I think I can finish my artwork faster ever.

Nokia N97





I was going through some youtube video as I normally do after I finished my work and before I went to bed. Its already been nailed into my habit. I saw a friend of mine "Chee Wee" post a msg in the msn with something Nokia N97. I'm currently owning Nokia E66 (but I left it aside now cos that phone always fuck up - I'm using Iphone 3G now) that's why I'm curious whats Nokia up to now. By just looking at the video in youtube about Nokia N97, the way it work really look like iphone but one thing that really attract me is the keyboard, front video calling camera, and.. etc etc. This coming July, Apple going to release a new Iphone rumours to be that it upgrade a lot of stuff. Hopefully it don't dissapoint me again this time. The update of the 3.0 iphone firmware is really on the right track but I'm not sure about the hardware. If its not much different from my Iphone 3G I will reconsider of getting new Iphone. I might just get a new Nokia N97. MMS, peer-to-peer, sending/receive file, video recording, cut/copy/paste, better sms function ( delete single msg/enable forward msg etc) , landscape keyboard, turn by turn gps working with google map, better email function.. all available for iphone 3.0 firmware. Hopefully they will add the front video calling camera for the hardware part and also better camera. Anyway.. I'm going to sleep now. Is 4.09am now and tomorrow I have presentation to do. That's it.

My Everyday NOS


If the night before I'm sleepless, V is my best mate. I call it NOS.

The Divine Weapon 2008 신기전 (神機箭) (Sin-gi-jeon)

I know this is movie out for quite sometime already but I just watched it lately. I recommend this movie to everyone. You won't regret it.
Its base on Korean epic tale..
"The small and standard Singijeon, completed in 1430 during King Sejong's reign, was the world first multiple-lunching rockets. The Grand Singijeon was the world's first missile with a shooting range of 3KM. Western Europe produced a similar weapon in 1779... over 300 years later."


Synopsis

During the reign of King Sejong, Joseon Dynasty was the embodiment of the perfect state. To the Ming China, the aspiring imperial power, Joseon presented an obstacle to territorial expansion. The Ming China demanded submission and interfered with internal affairs of Joseon. All the while keeping Joseon in check with the constant threat of the northern barbarians. Disgusted by the Chinese interference ,King Sejong secretly develops the Phantom Arrowslinger, a weapon he intends to use to take back Joseon’s land and supremacy. but When Chinese spies discover the plan, the Chinese emperor attempts to disrupt the development with force, setting off a chain reaction of violence.

Additional (Bonus)
Also this movie cast by one of my favorite Korean Artist Han Eun-Jeong
