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.

Question

I find it very funny, why do ppl keep asking question that are very annoying?
I buy the AIO printer which consist of the function of Fax, Scan, Print, Copy with wireless attached. The old printer Epson, yes is still workable but do not have the fax function, but it is best to have the fax function and beside the printer is not bought using other ppl money.
Yes you are trying to save money and yes I bought that new Cannon for that fax function is that a problem? If you wan you can still use that Epson printer if you wish, no one is stopping you just that should have a fax machine so that easy to do things and also to fax things if necessary.
I really find it very funny.
But I am also angry with myself for not being able to control my temper. Why cant I control, so easily let go of my temper. Sometimes, I wonder if I am in the right mind when doing things that I am doing. Cos i also have the feeling that I am not in the state of mind that can make the correct judgment but I dun find buying that new printer is wrong.

Day @ PC Show 2008 Happy Father's Day

Today is the last day of the PC Show 2008 and also Fathers' Day.
I hereby wishes all father a Happy Fathers' Day. Today celebrate the day with family with the cake i bought together with a friend.

Seems like most IT related shows always attracts the most number of ppl as most of them wan to get the best bargain at the best price. There was the IT show 2008 back around March and now PC Show. From my experience, the IT show back then was more like the companies clearing all the ex stock whilst the PC Show is the launch of new things and also abit of clearing their stock which are the newer products as compared to IT Show.
Went today with my 2 gorgeous looking cousins, and we drove there. Can tell you that the crowd there is amazing, there is like no room to move just to go with the flow, (pushing and squeezing).
Saw a Sony Hi Fi system which is cool as it has the bluetooth system incorporated in. The picture shown below. Have the urge to buy though.
Although I have hoot the Cannon Pixma AIO printer.

And the free gifts
The funny things is that when I bought these stuff I kinda feel a stress in me not sure why is the so. I guess it is due to the fact that the printer is over my budget although the quality is good as compared to the initial idea of getting 'Brother' printer which is much more cheaper but not that much free gifts. Well since I have already bought it will have just to stick to it and dun regret. Anyway getting a good one is better than a bad one which will have a shorter life span.
Well, beside looking at the gadgets I also tried to spot babes but did not have the opportunity to snap pics of them though.
Saw the first launch of LG Secret, although I still prefer SE K850i.
Haiz have to endure.
Stop here for now. Tomorrow is another tiring and busy day yet again. The same routine over again.

Worst Day

Today is the day that I went to the site located at Jurong Island. Most of the companies there are related to oil refinery, waste water treatment plant.
Went there was very troublesome, as there is only 2 bus services that runs there. So most of the ppl who heard of going to Jurong Island, they will hesitate for a while, as to work in there the basic transportation you must have is either a car or a bike. Ppl mostly will leave the island to have lunch as there is such a rumour that the air in Jurong Island is very bad due to the emission of the fumes.
While there, took some pic of the instruments that is commonly used. There are the MOV (Motorised Valve) and another type of valve which i have forgotten

Well, also wan to congrate to the new launch of Plain Sunset newest ablum which is being launch at Zouk today.

End of a 3 Day Autodesk Course

Today marks the end of my 3 day Autodesk Course. During these 3 day course have been very relax and fruitful although I have already understand the basic function of Autodesk. This is the certificate of from Autodesk.
For those who do not know what is Autodesk, it is actually Autocad. A 2D or 3D modelling software.
Life attending the course was wonderful, no need to bother with work or the deadline although I still have to attend my course and go for my regular workout.
For the past week, life is not that wonderful. Have lost my phone, drop my wallet but luckily was able to retrieve it back. Yesterday attended my class and ended early but stayed around to chit chat with my lecturer and upon leaving the compound, something worst happen. I think someone must have been dancing the rain dance as it suddenly with no warning started to downpour. Not the normal one, like ma chiam going to have a tornado, (which is similar to the book cover that I did and shown in the previous post). And my lecturer came and told me must be due to my book cover design.
Luckily got a lift to the MRT.
Today went to the course and was also caught in the rain but a drizzle one though.
Today was a good workout but have to do my homework which is due tomorrow. Have to burn the long wick of the mid night lamp.
I saw this ad from Herren regarding design of their privilege card and had the idea to enter though.
Today also did a big damage = bought protein shake which cost 80+ for 2 bottles.
Well have to stop now.

My Assignment

This is the recent assignment which I am required to submit on this coming tuesday and I have yet to finish it. This assignment is to design a Book Cover entitled: Mind Lines Lines for Changing Minds.
I am stuck as to the positioning of the words. I think the colour for the word will be white since I have such a dark background.
Do give me some ideas, I can use some help.
Today just completed my Adobe Illustrator Course, and man was it tough; this is only the beginners level. Hard to imagine wat the advance level would be like.
Need to practice to get the hang of the software. Is a cold day, although there is no rain.

A Rainy Day

Today is the first day of my Adobe Illustrator course at ISDT.
Woke up at 7am to get ready and reach there by 9am and from there the course will start all the way to4 in the afternoon. Well can pretty much say that the whole sat was burned up. BUt for some of you maybe you will go out after the course to relax.

Took the MRT to Lavendar where I got my breakfast which consist of a cold Mr Bean Soy Bean Milk and one of their pancake with red bean fillings (yummy). Reach the classroom just to find that I was the only guy student at that point of time. Well, as the class started another guy came in, so thats makes 2 males student excluding the lecturer.

The course was quite an interesting one as we get to do hands on which the best than listening to the lecture. One of the things that we did was to draw a horus eye, which i will be posting up later .

A brief intro for the horus eye: Horus, represented as the falcon-headed god, was an important god in Egyptian legend. The symbol representing his eye, Eye of Horus, was a powerful symbol used to protect from evil. Pronounced "udjat" by the Egyptians, the Eye of Horus represents a human eye with the cheek markings of a falcon.



And also another image is the Aztec Sun Stone Pic shown on the rite. The Aztec Sun Stone, often called the Aztec Calendar Stone, encodes much numerological information in its symbols.















Was raining throughout the whole course and after which i went to take a hair cut. Well thats all for now. Take care.

Piss off day

Yeah, its finally Friday which is the last day of the week.
This is the day that most of the working people would be looking forward.
By right it should be day which I am also looking forward to but today is the most pissed off day that I can ever get.
Seems like in the current office which i am working in now does not suit me. I am adjusting myself to suit the working environment which I think which is most appropriate thing to do. Bu the problem is no matter how much I adjust, it does not seems to work. For instance, at this very moment, I was given task to do, and 1 of which is the calling to confirm the course which has been dragging for so long. I just dun understand that this thing can also be done by that guy and yet he pushed to me, fine I just do it. Called to the Innocom Tech where I was suppose to have a course there and yet I was put on hold for like 30 mins. They are so like just entertaining me only and not putting me through the right person whom I am looking for. Called the organizer and she hand up on me.Damn am I pissed off. I know that my temper is causing me to say what I am saying and maybe some of you would say that I am paid to do what they ask me to do.
Well, after attending 2 class of the diploma course that I signed up for has been enriching for me. Learned alot of things and very fun though. Will be taking up the illustrator 2 day course tomorrow and the day after and is from 9-4pm meaning that the weekend is been burned. Worst is that this is only beginners class and there is no more advance classes already while other adobe course have all the way to the advance level. After taking up this illustrator course will be aiming to take up the photoshop course, and maybe indesign as well as dreamwweaver or flash.
all for now. Back to work
