A Band

This is the ring that I have previously mentioned which I have gotten for the special someone in my life. Although it is very expensive but for her I think is worth it. Now I have to start saving and become thrift again.
Took a while to chose this ring as I have not knowledge about these things so went to ask around and seeking advice from people. When I ask them about this question they were all guessing and saying that "Why you getting married ah"/ "When arh". Upon hearing all these I just smile at them saying nothing as I am uncertain what will happen when and during I say those words to her.
Well, having bought this ring is something that I had never thought of. On a fine sat, went to walk around and then saw this exhibition about rings by Lee Hwa, just walked in and was browsing through the display of rings where this one caught my eyes. The design was simple but yet very unique. Then I knew that this is the ring that I want to get for her. And there it was, I bought the ring. Just collected yesterday.

Birds Another Day

Today is yet another day in the island of torture and misery.
Seems to me like I have become more tanned and also getting sick as have been drenched in the rain for a few days.
Well, project have been extended and delayed but the project manager wants everything to be done by the 19th of this month which is like this Friday. Is he nuts or what. Have been enduring his constant rushing me to complete the job abide to the date set by him. He assume that everything is so easy to be done. He even suggested that we do until 2am. So what if we do until 2am and then have to come back at about 7am. Whats the use of that if the workers cannot get enough rest for the next day?
Getting very very pissed off about this though.

So I did a sketch to cool myself down. Although I am still stress about the logo name card and the resume. This resume is not similar to that of what we usually do for an job interview as this is a resume as a designer to apply for jobs. So is abit tough and the worst thing is that the due date of these mentioned stuff is by next Tuesday. Guess have to burn the Gazer oil to do so.

SO tired.
Even so, I still miss someone dear and special to me. She is the reason that I can overcome all this obstacles which I have met.
Another day

A Sunday of flash back

Today is a very very normal Sunday, went for my driving lesson after which I went to meet a friend to pass the sketch book which was requested to purchase for.
After that went around Orchard road to take some snap shoots of the Christmas Decoration in the day.
Having said to walk around, saw many tourists with different types of DSLRs as well as seeing couples walking pass me. With each passing couple, a sudden sadness arose from within me. Making the mood of the day somehow or rather quite gloomy and sad. Then memories of Iris walking together with me, holding her hand walking down each shopping center with her looking at the cosmetics, having meal at the Gyoza stall at Orchard Point.
Seems like I have missed her much more than I expected.
Met with parents and talk with mother regarding the idea of proposing to Iris. She began to talk many things about the proposing to a girl. Proposing to a girl means that we are ready to get married, after the proposal what will be the next step? Having listen to what mother has told me, I begin to wonder if my decision to propose to her was a bit too early as she is still studying and I have just started to step into this working world.
Much thoughts have gone through my mind, and I think I will postpone the proposal to her till she has finish her studies. Although have bought the ring, but will keep it until a later date.

Iris and me

Well, this is something which I am very shy to say; that is about me and Iris.
Having to know each other during our studies in Australia, QUT. I always find it hard to believe that I can get to know such a wonderful, caring girl like her. I remember that she was a very quiet and sweet looking girl. It was her cuteness and adorable look and character that attracted me. She is strong girl which I admire very much. Got to know her through her friend and then after a few months I actually summon all my courage and ask her the question:"Can you be my Girl Friend." And yes she accepted. During the period where we were studying, we have stayed together rented apartment and most of all conflicts disagreement as well as the wonderful memories that will always be a part of me.
Counting all these times, we have been together for 2 yrs plus. From Australia studying our Bachelor to her now studying her Masters in Singapore. The road has not been very smooth sailing. At last all have passed and I hope that the futher will be good.
While she was studying her Masters here, we have had lots of wonderful moments. This is wat I thought not sure if she felt the same way. Celebrated her Birthday here.




Never have I stop wonder this question: Should I proposed to her?
Remember her saying that she do not wan to get married, and this has been in my mind for a very long time. Wat is she reject me? Wat if she really dun wan to get married?
All the negative thoughts are way to strong for the positive thoughts.
No confidence though .

Review 2008

Have been a long time since i have written down anything in this space since the last entry........ which I could not remember when was it.
Well, just an update though.
Have been working as an engineer in a small local company for like coming to a year. Currently is involve in a project which is located in Jurong Island and yes have been under the sun everyday becoming very tanned.
Went to Perth recently for an exchange program organised by the sch which I am currently studying part time. Has been an interesting trip learn lots of things and also met new friends.
Time really flies and now is already is the last month of the year. So many things have happened and memories are being filled up.
Have been also to the comic fest which was held in suntec. I saw many cosplay and my favourite Imaginary Friends.


Well as I said, this is the last month of the year and is often related to Christmas. Took some pic of the Christmas deco along orchard road. The theme for this year Christmas is Sweet Christmas

A Week Of Happenings

Its has been a while since my last recording of my recent activities.
Well, has been a very hectic and busy and stressful week.

This week marks the start of my second semester of my Diploma in Communication and Multimedia Design. I find that these semester will be a tough one as compared to the previous one as this one has more theory than practical. Well, that is something that I have got to get used though.

Been reading and sending emails out to factory to clear doubts that is been asked by client who
has bought some equipments. And these equipments will be send to Malaysia and Vietnam. The company is still thinking as to who to send to do the commission over at Vietnam as Malaysia there is support there. Well that is something that have to be handled by them.

Recently, saw this brand named: Dr Jart Rejuvenating Silver Label BB Cream 50ml seems like quite a good product among the ladies and one of my girl friend bought it to use and I went to collect it. Ha ha ha . Well, I find that these girls who runs the online shop must have gone through thorough research and sourcing to bring in the goods. Well Done Girls.
Hope that I maybe able to do something similar to that though.

This month is yet again a Pasar Malam for PC fanatics as the Comex is back again people. Starting from 28 to the end of the month. Time for ppl to clear stocks while others buy them up.

This Sat and Sun will mark the end of the National Day Celebration by have 2 days of Fireworks Display.
Will be a good one and will end it with a BIG BANG!!!!!!!!!

NPD 08

Yesterday was the nation's birthday, and went to take some pics using my D70s.
Was a totally different feeling when taking pics with D70s. Do enjoy.
Forgive for the quality as this is my first time taking pic with this camera.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Sentosa Trip

Today was a very veri sunny day good for a trip to the beach or any type of water activity.
After my driving lesson went to meet Iris to go to Sentosa for a trip as she indicated that she wanted to be tanned.
Ha ha ha, but since that she is so fair having stayed under the sun will make a distinct colour difference on her skin.
Went to VivoCity at about 1 plus. Toured around the place and went to see the pet safari where we saw a couple of dogs including the one I like which is Corgi. But saw this one dog which is very cute and elegant.

Took a tram to the beach station and there our sentosa trip begins.
But 1 thing is for sure is that the weather is super hot and hot and piping hot.
Saw different type of ppl, different builds, tourists. There are ppl playing beach volleyball, basketball and Frisbee. This is a sport which I think has been catching up in Singapore as I got to know about this sport while my studies in Aus. Well is a very intersting sport and can get to see the post of how they do it and the funny posture that they protray.

Some of the pics I took during the trip with my D70s

DSLR Here

My 2nd D70s DSLR.
Today applied for leave to help settle some personal stuff as well as to go and collect my DSLR as shown above.
It was a very funny incident when i went to collect 'Her', DSLR.
At the shop, the owner was like searching high and low for 'her'. Then they finally found her, and again the staff as me if I wan to get a memory card but I remember that uncle Nelson who was also there told me that he will throw in a 2Gb memory card together with a filter.
Then uncle nelson told the guy to check the receipt again then he saw the words and then went to get the freebies for me.
Was so happy that I finally got to own a DSLR. Just one small little minor thing that I have. That is that the set does not come with the USB cable to download the pic i have from the DSLR to the com. Guess will have to get a card reader already. Ha ha ha

Something to Ponder

Has been a while since I last updated my blog.
Many things had happened since then.
As usual have been very busy with my part time school work, job, driving lessons and most important is the Vitamin M.
Guess most of you should know what is the definition, but for those who do not know what is it, the definition of vitamin M is money.
Well, everything need that and I think I have been using that very fast.
Things have to be bought as I need that for my studies. Recently got to know that for the photography lessons, we are required to use a DSLR either to be rented or owned.
I have a DSLR which is a semipro but it is not wised to used it therefore I have to go and get a 2nd hand. Got to know this professional photographer through my colleague and went with him down to his friend's shop to look at some 2nd hand cameras. Found a Nikon D70s DSLR which is in good condition and is recommended by him to get it as only through friends will the owner of the shop take out the cameras whereby the owner keep them in good condition.
Having found a camera which I like and of a good bargain, I said yes. I know that I should have waited for a while before buying it. But was afriad that good bargain like this will not come along as such. Well, I guess will have to stop buying extra things already after i have bought this and the folio which is going to be used for the submission of the assignment for the Sketch Art.
Iris has came to Singapore in pursue of her Masters in Bio Medical which is the course that she has interest in. Was very happy and glad that she is able to be admitted to NTU. Having said this, the documents required from the Australian Uni was not in order and the original will only be send over in Aug. Now just have to wait for the sch of NTU to reply if they are able to let her study while waiting for the original to be send over. Having printed out the results slip from her student virtual and submitted to NTU, will have just to wait for them to reply by this coming week.
I am starting to feel the stress, confused and pressure.

Have did some sketches to clear my mind but guess it is not working out.
The pressure is still there.
Whats the use of talking to the ppl when I will blew my temper. I have to put on a mask to show that I am fine but will that help?
I still feel terrible and miserable.
I feel very tired stress.

Another Day

Well, haven been updating on what I have been dong for a while now.
Well basically is still the same usual routine of work study gym and car.
Work going over to jurong island to check the site and also to take down notes of what are the changes that is done. Work also means to stay in the office and to draw and type and also to rest.

Study is basically attending lesson from 7 to 10 and reaching home at around 11 plus. Also to focus on the assignment and the final project that is due in like 2 weeks times. It can be said long and short. Long in the sense of the days but short in the sense that there is not much time on the hand to do it in another words means lazy lor.

Gym and car are the area to relax and to de-stress.
Took a pic of something which to me is very interesting.



Well just completed my dreamweaver course which is on sat and sun meaning that my weekend was burn.
Guess I have to stop here as I am starting to get sleepy and also I am thinking whether to do my assignment.
Argh Argh Argh

Well Take Care
Till Next Time

Sketch Class in Chinatown

First Sketch

Second Sketch.

Today went for a outdoor sketch class.
Was an experience that I would not forget and will do again.
Above was the 2 sketch i did during the entire 3-4hrs.
Pathetic. Ha ha ha.
Other classmates of mine did alot. Guess I am not that standard yet.
Well have to keep practicing on top of the deadline of the assignments and the final project which will be due in 3 weeks time.
Argh Argh.
O Kami Sama.
Help me.
Pics I took.

Movies

Above is the Movie entitled: "Wanted"
Went to watch it on a saturday. It was so cool and very unrealistic but being the fact that most movie are built around the area of that its very nice. Like the design of the weapon, tattoo on Angelina Joline, the story line and the effects that is done in the movie.
The storyline is somewhat a bit confusing to me that is. But some how from what i understand from seeing that is it revolves around this guy who seems to be the sons of a famous assassin.
Overall I like this movie, but I really like the structure of the bullets that is being used.
Great movie, but once watch it do not have the desire to watch it again.

Another movie which I have watched. This one was with my family. This was the one movie that I was so touched that I drop tears while watching it. It is about the promises that was made to a puppy by a small little girl.
The girl's mother had cancer and made her daughter to made the 10 promises to the small puppy that she got. Below is the 10 commandments made by the girl.

Ten Commandments of Dog Ownership

1. Listen patiently to what I say.

2. Trust me, for I am always by your side.

3. Play with me a lot.

4. Don’t forget that I have feelings too.

5. Let’s never fight.

6. If I don’t obey you, I have a good reason.

7. You have school and friends, but as for me, I only have you.

8. Stay as my best friend even when I’m old.

9. I’ll only live for ten years, so let’s make every moment count

10. I’ll never forget the life together. So when the time comes, remember I’ll always be by your side.

Was so touched that i will watched it again.

Some of the movies that I would like to catch and watch.

• Hellboy 2
• Red Cliff
• Star Wars Clone Wars Animated.
  

Plainsunset @ HMV

This is the local band which I came to knew about when I started my course in Multimedia and Communication Design. Have always knew that there are local bands but just that not very into them, as I am not that into the rock and loud music. But after hearing to some of the songs by this band, kinda enjoy their music.
So Keep up the good work guys.
Looking forward for your new album.

Another Day of Sat.

Today is the Saturday after the TGIF. For those who do not know what does TGIF means its Thank God Its Friday. Ha ha ha just a phrase I heard from a friend of mine.
Well, the week had been a very busy and tiring one. Towards the end of the wee, I had to go to Jurong Island unexpectedly to do some site works. Again have to sweat and sun tan but its my job anyway.
Have been reading up the Imagine Art Book which I have bought during the STCC aka Singapore Toys and Comic Convention last weekend. Was one hell of a convention, guess will be looking forward for event like this already. Speaking of which there is this event which I just went today.

• Cosfest VII
• 5th July 12pm-7pm
• 6th July 2-6.30pm
• Downtown East

It is similar to that of the STCC but just more concentrating on the Cosplay and some of the artist who were at the STCC as well. Went today and finally met Jingna who was at the STCC 08. Got her book and was autographed by her. Was so glad that was able to see her in person although most of the time is just the pics she post on her blog. I took a pic of her with her assistant but my phone is not that good in quality the image was kinda dark but uploaded anyway.


Started to follow on her news since Dec 6, 2007 which was also the day I become a member of deviantart. Happen to came across her photographs which she took and was so unique that started to become a fan of her.

At the Cosfest, as what the name implies revolve round the cosplay and things related to anime, comic. Was surprise to see that there is also a group of ppl who are into these as cosplay is more popular outside singapore. But can proud to say that the ppl at the fest was pretty good.
A couple of pictures taken by my poor camera phone.

STCC 2008 Pics

Last Day of STCC 2008

As mentioned in my previous blog, I will be going to the Singapore Toy and Comic Convention aka STCC 2008 after have submitted my piece for the Heeren Privilege Card. After submitting it, I felt kinda a relax although the thought of if I am make keep passing though my mind. Well, no nid to keep bothering about it though, as I just did it for fun so its the experience that matters.
Immediately hop on a bus and went to the venue for the STCC 2008. Was very much packed as usual but since today is the last day of the convention, most of the items have been slash to have of the usual price though and I have gotten to see lots of creators and artists as well as cosplay ppl. Speaking of cosplay, I must say that they are very pro and din know that there are so many cosplay ppl. Some are very sexy and some are well about there though.
Did I mentioned in the blog yesterday that I have met Jingna whose one of the very first deviant art ppl that have been keeping close track of her pictures since I started joining that website. She is so much different from the way that I imagine her to be but the Gothic part is sure the same.
Took some pictures though, and also bought some stuff.
Also saw something that I have never seen before as I did not have any interest in it until my lecturer mentioned to me, which is Wacom. I think some of you IT ppl should know this product as it is mostly used by anime or graphic artist to do their art piece.
Will uplod the pics once i know how to use to link the flickr photo to here as slide show

A Gathering Day

Today is the day of my poly gathering which I have always been looking forward to attend.
Sadly to say that this is the only group of friends that I have been hanging out with ever since my poly days. A group of friends which I feel comfortable with especially talking about the things that is happening around them or the status of them.
Its funny to see them having some kind of changes be it their working life, relationship, etc.
Went to Azabu Sabo for the gathering, its a dessert shop although they do sell set meals. Frankly speaking I prefer their dessert to the meal.
Some pic i took using the faulty phone I have.

This is the pic of the dessert that I take. It is something like shave ice topped with vanilla ice cream with chocolate dressing and Bananas something which I adore.



This are my "sisters" whom I got to know during the poly days.
All are attached and engaged sad to say. 1 of them is getting married at the end of this year, which is another gathering for us. Looking forward to that day though. I want to wish them all the best to them and may happiness be with them always.

Today is also the start of the Singapore Toys and Comic Convention. I went for a brisk walk through without looking at them seriously. And I found Imaginary Friends was there too. This is a grp of artist who did alot of fantastic art piece. Will be going back tomorrow to get their limited edition art book.

Tomorrow is the last day though. Hope there are sales.

Another Day

This is a sketch done by my lecturer for he demo on figure sketch



This is a practice sketch that i did to improve myself although I dun see any improvement.
Need to practice more

A Fruitful Day

This is the Cresyn SC-HP500.
This brand maybe new to me and maybe not for some of those who are into gadgets. For me I only know of Audio Technica, Shure, Bosse, and some of those major/popular brands.
Today I have alot of new things be it driving or air brushing my tank model.
Although driving lesson is quite standard but to me I tend to feel that each lesson is unique and I will be able to learn more things in preparation for my test which is in Sept. Learn to handle the airbrush as well as the technique in doing it as well as to know the different tones to the tank.
Although it has not been completed but the result of my airbrushing is still acceptable though. Some pic of the tank that I had done, it has not been completed as I have yet done the wheels and the tracks.


But I am happy with the work that I have done. Will be continuing to do things like these for my hobbies. But I still have the passion for design although I have met an obstacle recently with my homework for one of the modules, but I hope that I will be able to do it.

A day before friday

Have been very very busy lately.
Be it going to gym for my regular workout, going to Jurong Island for work or doing the homework for the diploma course. Although it is very tiring and stress, I do find interest in them which is the funny part, guess that I have the passion for the things that I am doing now.
Time really flows like the current of the stream, now it is coming to the end of the month, which means something, the end of the school holidays for the students, payday which is common for all working adults, the start of a new semester for some post grad students while some maybe the start of a new career. Whichever it may be, I wish all the ppl luck and be happy and have the passion for what you are currently doing now.
Took some pics of myself while at Jurong Island, me wearing the monkey suit.

Working in this attire is no fun at all, and beside working has never been fun especially you have to go to Jurong Island to work.
Just finished my Sketch Art class, and today we did model sketching which is to me a very tough module. Since the lecturer cannot get a model for the still life drawing, 1 of us have to volunteer to be the model. So I volunteered, and I was requested to sit down and still for 20 mins. And my lecturer demo to the rest how the drawing was done. Upon completion, I got to keep the sketch, will be uploading it soon.
Guess I really have to spend more time on practicing my sketch although I admit that I have not been practicing.
Well, have to rest soon as I have to go to Jurong Island again tomorrow.
Another , sweaty and busy and hot day.
