Infernal affairs fans should enjoy this

actually not really la...those anti NKF one will enjoy it more...ahhahz...it's rather an old entry form some other blog...here's the link...and click on the video links in the entry to view the videos.

i think sim wong hoo should ask paris hilton...

...to shoot a creative zen MP3 player commercial. there was a recent article which shows paris hilton's liking for the pink zen micro mp3 player made by creative. and judging from creative's losing sales to apple, i think sim should take this opportunity(by using paris) to boost the sales of the zen mp3 series.

i have already got an ad in mind featuring paris hilton...that might just make the zen mp3 players seem more than something that is always biting the dust of ipod. i really want creative to win apple cuz i am a singaporean and i support local products. furthermore, i own a zen neeon player. so all the more i want the zen series to be viewed more highly than the ipod. i think ipods are really common nowadays as well.

ok, the ad goes something like this.

1. paris and her posse(can ask nicole ritchie to act as well) wearing high school type of clothes enter the class room...

2. then the teacher announces that there is a pop quiz something like that. everyone panics, especially the paris gang.

3. then paris very calm...take out her creative player and listens to it.

4. then got as she listens to it...the music surges to her brain...the got those kind of electric pulse science fiction thingy image showing the electric pulse surge to her brain...then it zooms out to show a more enlightened paris face.(if she ever has one)

5. so now, she thinks of something to call off the quiz(i dunno wad she can think of...so it's open to suggestions).

6. then all well ends well. and the words "be creative, get creative" appears at the end...

lol...it's lame but wadever, nowadays pple like lame stuff and advertisements...so this might work. i am so inspired to draw a storyboard for this ad...ahhahahz.

so mr sim, if u ever happen to come across this entry, please consider it and leave me a tag...hahahahahaz...so bhb...hahaha...

2 things i saw when i woke up today

First, it's this really funny hairstyle which took shape during the course of my sleep, i dunno how it happened but it looks non-messy...very unlike those "just got out of bed" look which i usually will sport. and it feels really weird as well...it's like the hair has been warped and gelled to my head. i see if this could last me the whole day.


then, yup, i got the SPGG(singapore poly graduate's guild) card. my dad's an alumni tho, not me. after waiting for close to half a year, they finally made the card...it's quite nice tho.

hahaha

i see some decrement(is there such a word since there's the word increment) in my weight. 1kg. 1kg happy liaoz la, at least can see success. i am currently looking for a 1 month crash course in the german language, but dunno where to find. 1 month because i have just been given another month's MC...good or bad i dunno. i think the sgt in charge of my posting and stuff is like 24/7 beside the bmtc phone. today and last week when i called back bmt HQ, he is always the person who answer the phone...haha. and the funny thing is that after i tell him my name and rank, he will auto-revert to chinese mode from english mode...haha. i find this quite amusing...but since i am chinese too, i should have no qualms speaking the language.

quite sad leh, i want to learn alot of stuff...but no time and not enough money to learn. hmmm...want to learn maya, 3dsmax, languages(as many as i can absorb, got one lingo prof in NUS can speak and write 14 languages ok!), driving(this is a must!), currently learning painter, urm, learn voodoo(no, against my religion), and alot of others la, just that i cannot think of them right now.

4 weeks from now...yup, that reminds me...this will probably the last MC i will be getting, back to tekong in 4 weeks time...kinda want to see it again(one time only). i don't want to be perpetually stuck there for the next 1 year plus plus. but, if i don't need to do reservist in the future, i don't really mind staying on monks' island until i ORD. i don't mind, but it better not be.

anyway, anyone knows how to place music on my blog...so that u can hear the weird yet nice stuff i listen to...haha.

oh yeah, sarong party girl is studying in NTU's SADM...i personally don't know her, so i can't comment. but i dun like her lifestyle(hmmm...did i just contradict myself?!)

nvm...had ding tai fung yesterday, was not bad...but parents said not satisfying...hurm?

another wu liaoz drawing that i did... 

of gaining weight and stuff

outstanding fabian! you have just gained 3kg in a matter of a week. and 1 out of the 3kg was gained in just a day. so how did you do it? me: well, i did nothing, i went for a swim, did 100 crunches a day and ate as little as i could, yar, that's all i did.

laugh laugh laugh, it's amazing that wad i did could explain this sudden weight gain. so it means by swiming and doing crunches actually help u put on weight?! then exercise is not so effective afterall. this is the first time i weighed 68kg ever since i last weighed myself on the God-forsaken island called pulau tekong. from then till now...i was hovering about the range of 64-66. incredile huh!? perhaps it could be attributed to the gain in muscle mass of my right leg which was experiencing serious muscle atrophy during the casted days. maybe it was due to the yummy food that i had on monday at some place which only a few should know...lol. how i wished i was as skinny as i was during my lower primary days. urm...better not be, cuz i was skeletal back then.=X

*****

a new volcano called mt pimplesuvius on the land of fabiolandonito has been discovered by the team of geologists led by leading scientist dr T.Z Fan. the pimple is located south west of the point nostrolitiocus and north west of the gaping hole called mouthilici. gaining a height of about 2mm in just a day, mt pimplesuvius looks eager to explode, eradicating nearby lifeforms with it's magpus.

*****

coincidentally, the twin caves of point nostrolitiocus are constantly spewing mupus as speeds of 65km/h of late. hmmm...looks like the fabiolandonito is experiencing a change in climate...people of fabiolandonito...get ready for evacuation.

starting my own comic book illustration(or graphic novel) would be fun and exciting, but if only i could get the right kind of story. then i would scan the story board like story and post it here...should be fun...and make it a weekly thing. any ideas?

which MnM do you like?

i thought i was rather normal to like the peanuty kind of MnNs...until i did my own mini survey and realised that majority likes the plain type. i dunno why also, i like the peanuty taste combined with the chocolate...very nice...the plain one is just plain...which one do you like?


the plain ones?


or the peanut one that i like...heh

i shall call this portrait "girl", how "duh"

hahahz...another portait...i guess it's an improvement from the previous few

Random thoughts over the week

i should really be writing this either on monday or sunday, but because i am too tired. i really think i should be taking a break this week. anyway, i have got another appointment at changi general hospital this friday.

*****

have i really lost interest in harry potter(books)? i am still very into the movies, but it was the movies that led me to read the books, so i wonder if this interest in harry potter had waned or something. i have the ebook, but i couldn't read past the first chapter...let alone the entire book. but friends said that this is a good book, so, maybe i will give it a second chance today.

*****

the negative thoughts are really polluting my mind for the majority of the past week. writing about them here will only destroy it.

*****

hahaz...the xiaxue hacker incident was probably a blessing in disguise for her. just read her blog and she said that she is really happy that she got tonnes of companies approaching her...i think most probably for endorsing their products i guess. guess she is now not only a celebrity, but a rich celebrity that is.

*****

i have put on weight! (the exclamation mark doesn't mean it's a good thing)

*****

digital painting is really hard. it really is very different from traditional ones...first, the stylus is rather hard to control as compared to the traditional brush and pen. then, u cannot exactly control the amount of paint to be painted on the canvas like u can with a brush. but...digital painting is the new art...and i better embrace it before i become to0 lao kok to do so.

vodka

my face is bloody red after drinking it...damn warm...want to sleep

what if?

i think my life has been screwed, really screwed. what if i did not have go to RV, maybe SJI or ACS could be better choices. but i will become a 吃 kantang type of person, something that i do not want to be. yuck. i think RV is a really good place /environment to make good friends and really nice friends(not that people from SJI or ACS are bad). after going through JC, i feel that rv grads are nicer and better persons. they may not be the top students or the most outspoken ones in the lot but they have good hearts. i really wonder how i will turn out or what sort of friends i would have made if i had followed most of my primary school friends and gone either of the aboved mentioned all-boys independent schools. i think i may turn out quite differently. in case u are wondering why i only mention these 2 schools is because my psle score was only 255.

1st, my chinese would be really bad(not saying that ALL SJIans and ACSians are bad at chinese). this is so since i was already quite an english speaking person back in primary school(NYPS). could u imagine me speaking in only in english now. it is rv that turned me into more of a billingual person. tell u, i will eventually look down on myself for not being able to speak chinese.

second, i think MAYBE i would be more confident and stuff. this is just a maybe since not all ACS and SJI pple are all that confident, but there are more confident students than SAP schools one. and maybe of peer influence or wad i may have chosen a different CCA and i may not even have chosen art(gasps!)! then i think i will be taking bio instead of art...haha...can u imagine that. hahahhahahaz. and without art, i wouldn't have known the AEP pple and ms ong theng choo. i would really like to see what would happen to me if i had gone to these schools instead. too bad time machines has not been invented yet.

finally, i couldn't have made all the good and lasting(hehe...hopefully) friends and teachers that i have now. hmmm...u might be saying "you also can make good friends in those schools wad". yar, i agree, but i couldn't bear to think what life would be if there aren't my RV friends around. may RV continue to nuture good natured people, and not evil ones... RV rocks!

立德立功, 化愚化顽.

ps: i was writing this entry in church...

why ar?

ok...i don't know wad to put for the title of this entry...so i just put the universal question of "why ar?" as the title, in case u are wondering 'why ar?' your title so funny.

actually...i think i think too much. go figure. i think this entry might not make a lot of sense since i myself is in not a very sensible mood now. i suddenly feel very very worried. hmmm...really worried. nvm...i shall not blog about it...i think i shall leave it to here...

*****

ok...think i better blog something more substantial now.

close friends should know that i like to "hai..." and sigh real loudly. but i don't do these for fun, i really got something bothering me then i will hai..hai...hai.... things such as: i am confused about my future. can i earn enough to support myself entirely? these questions are only the tip of the iceberg. and i thing spelling things out here may prove useless. ok, i am not those kind of happy go lucky type...maybe at times i will be like that...but most of the time, i don't think i am. i realised that i am full of hatred(maybe cuz nowadays i don't pray enough). i say mean stuff and act really childishly(ala XX, but i don't mean she is childish all the time). i think i need the regimentation and stuff in the army, with that, maybe i will be a better person. i think la. (shit, how come there is fried chicken smell wafting into my room at the middle of the night?!) maybe i should just sign on to the army and every thing that i have been hai-ing about will be fixed...stable salary...future fixed...and you are not in the risk of losing your rice bowl cuz it's the ARMY for goodness sake(who want's to join the freakin army?!). maybe army is a wrong choice then. haiz...wad i am i talking about?! i really really really need a counsellor to speak to NOW...i think my mind is in a serious mess...really...i am like a zombie with no aim...really...scary sia. i should really pray more. i think i am going no where...looking at the architecture grad's pay i see a bleak future airbrushed across the lens of my glasses, obscurring my vision, like wad my eyelids are doing to me now.

everytime i think tomorrow will be ok, tomorrow will be better, is nothing but a false hope. i better get up on my feet(yes, i can walk now) and do something about my bastardly future before it collaspes in under my feet. shit la, really shit. i think at this point in my life i am terribly shitified. there are many many things and issues that i have yet to resolve. one thing essential now is sleep, and i shall go resolve it now...bye.

so fast...

...weekend already. i came across this blog by Rockson takumi tan. it's blardy funny. not for those who cannot take hokkien vulgarities tho. check out his latest entry about the marina bay brand name issue. wad he said is really true lor, why the government is willing to spend $400000 to find a new name when the name they got back is still...marina bay? wu liaoz right? $400000 is sufficient to let 2 students study overseas already. really.... speaking of money issues, why do competitions always let rich pple win...esp cash prizes. i shall not elaborate on this one...以免伤感情.

this is actually created from a random doodle in my sketch book...i think this is better than the prev drawings... 

why am i conjuring weird and disturbing images? 

here's my first attempt to do a proper looking face...actually i wanted her to be a red head...but weirdness crept into me and i thought, why not make her a vampire? lol...i think this vampire looks rather ditzy... 

this is one of the projects taught in that book...i think i got abit of improvement liaoz...lol 

I found the blasted book! finally!

headed down to the 'eastern part of singapore'(tampines) this afternoon to find the book that i have been looking high and low for...yes, it is none other than Don seegmiller's book. "digital character design and painting". i don't know if my mind was playing tricks on me or i was really pa jiao(stamp pasted on my eyes). i waltzed up and down the non fiction aisle for more than an hour, looking for that darned book but couldn't find it. then buay tah han already, i went to the ground floor's enquiry counter to ask the librarian. "ok, i help u find, u go up first" was wad she said. k lor, i went back to the art section and waited...then when she came...the book like just suddenly appeared in front of me. must be some idiot purposely want to trick me, possess some mind reading skills and must have placed it back there before i came up. so i pretended to act blur, since the librarian was helping me find the book. ok...my eyes were fixed on the book, but i remained nonchalant, pretended as though i hadn't seen it yet. "oh....here lor" said the kind librarian. i think in her mind she must be thinking "wah lau, ur eye pa jiao is it...search over on hour still cannot find". but never mind, i thanked her, feeling awfully embarassed...

here's a picture of the book...really cool stuff inside...too bad in the whole of singapore...they only have 6 such books available in the libraries. i want to buy them(the other titles by seegmiller of course). if u all see it must tell moi.


*****

then while on the train...just as when i was thinking about going to city hall area to lurk, jialin called me to go see the YOU OH BEE painting of the year exhibtion...hmmm...alvin ong's work is kind of so-so. not that i jealous or wad la.

btw, this is not his work, it's by adeline...i think she is also from NJ...heard mr lee saying that she won something too.


then this is the most promising artist's work. it's rather well done...in acrylic somemore, a medium that is not easy to master.


then as we were walking out towards the esplanade concourse, there's this installation below one of the sky lights which was rather nice. i tinted this image bluish in colour to give it that mysterious feel.


oh yeah, this is funny...we saw this lady wearing extremely oh biang platforms...very rare nowadays...since the spice girls era is gone...

i was pretending to take jialin's pic when i was actually zooming into her shoes...it's not really hideous looking or wad...but it's rather attention seeking...just like my attention seeking all black outfit. how i wished i had my black framed glasses which is probably being squashed by my clothes and all in pulau tekong.

wow...amazing...

someone hacked into xiaxue's account and deleted her emails and her blog. i am more worried about the hacker tho, the worst for him is yet to come.

using a mac

yupz...cheap thrill...i am using a mac to type this entry, in the NJ art room. ok, i feel not so bad afterall. maybe it's cuz of the sleep. but yesterday's dream was really very weird. i am in the setting of war of the worlds, and really, aliens were attacking me...it's was really real. so scary that i woke up in a cold sweat. it's as though i was experiencing the whole show sans tom cruise and the other casts. and the aliens were scarier, humanoid kind. throughout the dream i was waiting for the bacteria to kill those bastardly aliens. but to no avail, my dream ended without the aliens getting killed.

Miserable

i suddenly feel really miserable. and this kind of miserable feeling isn't explainable, it's really really this sad feeling which punches you right in your heart, your head, your whole body. see, i not even typing in sms lingo. i said that it is hard to explain because just a few hours ago i was feeling all jovial, then suddenly, like a sudden storm brewing in my head, the feeling surges through every single cell of my body. i think a headache is ensuing. as i am typing this, i am experiencing a slight aching around the fracture area. it's rheumatism, side effect of the fracture. guess the pain means rain is coming. idiot. i really dunno why this is happening. maybe it's the lack of making new friends. humans are social creatures. but i guess new friends won't find me interesting to be with. it's sad. really, i feel sad. maybe it's another mood swing. or maybe i am contemplating on what will my future be.

"que sera sera, whatever will be will be, the future's not for us to see, que sera sera, what will be will be."

easy for you to say.

if i could change certain characteristics of me, i defintitely would. i am really not happy with quite a few things, but i think it's not very good to say it here. i also sure this entry will spoil people's mood. really, i feel weird. makes me want to shout, slap, clobber people. random people now. lucky there's no one in my house. hope the feeling goes away the next day.

is it just me or is it common for people to suddenly feel and 360degree change of mood without any outside influence? any counsellors out there? i need your service.

i shall go eat gui ling gao...

now i shall post pics...pics speak a thousand words. actually should have posted this pic yesterday, cuz it was an xray done when i was at Mt E the day before. you can start to see the bone thickening, much thicker as compared to the one 3 weeks before.

ooooo....new bone

*****

today is a damn 满载而归(i think it should mean fulfilling)day. finally got the survivor: pulau tekong printed on a polo tee. hahaz! and it looks damn good!


meanwhile...i am the only one that gets to wear it...haha. feel very nice to make ur own tee...

What makes an artist in singapore?

i am sure many of u would have heard of alvin ong now. haha, my NJ junior in year1. 20thousand dollars had been won by him. hmmm, singapore is so small that if are on the papers and on the news a couple of times, half of the population would have known u already. having heard wad veliani told me that him winning the competition was quite a surprise, even mr lee said that this year like not possible for the year ones to win anything. but u want to know why he win? or perhaps, u want to know how the competition works? it's all about favouritism. yes, the judges like ur painting...bingo, u win something. not that there is nothing wrong about it tho. but i feel that it is a tad unfair la. maybe u can call me a sour grape...lol. so, the question of what it good art, or even, what is art, continues. it's very, and i mean VERY ambiguous.

anything is and can be art. it just takes someone that is famous...i dunno...say...UOB painting of the year competition judge thomas yeo to say that ur work is good. i seriously dun find his works appealing. hurmm...it's colourful, if i must say, but appealing, not. he started off as a watercolourist i know, but his famous works(those that i studied in art history) were quite...humhum.

even i find liu kang's art quite...humhum also. dun ask me wad "humhum" means, i dunno wad to say, so i just use that word. and to the age old statement that is "u cannot survive doing art in singapore la", it is very true. why leh? u see la, how many artists in singapore any layman can name leh? ok, at most he or she will say liu kang or....or....or......or.....singapore got artist meh? lol. being a successful artist in singapore, u must be famous!!!!! cuz like, for now, for now, singporeans very seldom be bothered about art in it's traditional form. even i must confess that all the art exhibtions held in singapore sometimes bore me. unless it is by some renowned artist that is now dead and decomposing in his or her grave in USA or Europe. but, singapore very seldom has the chance to see such works. i personally feel that art now has moved beyond paintings and installations. to appeal to the today pple, especially singaporeans, must be applied to everyday things. like...teeshirts, and furniture(this one is already quite common liaoz). then i think SAM should quit(actually i mean cut down here) having only those purely arty farty exhibitions and have more exhibitions like teeshirt designs...and better still...digital paintings...lol. and i wonder if u have to be high and mighty in the art world to have ur own exhibition there. ok la, at least i got my chance to have my work being placed there.

so.....if u want to do art and also be successful in singapore, you have to do it as a sideline. if, like many other singaporeans, want to be rich, doing art alone is near impossible. so sad hor...no wonder pple will say that art is for those that 不可以读书.

so, should i change course, and do something as radical as study engineering? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, maybe i should. at least it pays me better than studying archi...lol.

btw, i needn't wear the aircast anymore...hurray!

Random thoughts over the week

i may consider to add this as a weekly feature, to sum up the stuff that has been happening to me or the stuff that i ponder about over the week. it's kind of like those "highlights" for the day you see in channel 5's 9.30 news...haha.

*****

still pissed off by the fact that i din manage to take the photo of my 2000 hits on my count meter. lol. stupid and forgetful me.

*****

the weather is finally experiencing a turn of events. it's cold...yes...singapore is finally begining to feel cold...that is when it rains. i love this kind of weather, but not the rain tho...

*****

"care for soldiers". i guess SAF really does mean wad they say. for the unacquainted, "care for soldiers" is one of the SAF's 7 core values that we recruits(former) had to yell before having our water parade. i am now enjoying the large pack of famous amos's pecan and chocolate chip cookies that the 2 sgts bought. haha...house visits = free gifts...lol.

*****

forget abt art friend, there's corel painter. the single program that has all the art products that art friend has...eg. acrylics, oils, water colour, pastels, gouache...you name it, it has it! yeah, this week i am probably most fascinated by the prospects of creating digital pictures using the graphic tablet and this programe. but i need time to hone my skills first. haha...i still aspire to be like don seegmiller or ryan church. i went to kino to search for corel painter related art books...i guess wad, i only found 2 books. yes, big big kino only stocks 2 painter books. they should have one of don's books stocked at the graphic section of kino. but no, they dun have. i found those 2 books under the computer section, somemore is not those i wanted. anyway, i read it.

*****

while on the topic of kino, i realised that its rather like a library, u can take any amount of books u want and find a nice reading corner and read all day. my favourite spot in kino is ahfjdhjhdhakhdahfl. yes, i shan't reveal it...haha...but i can give u a clue, it's quite near the Coffee club cafe. it's my favourite spot. yesterday i was there and this guy was occupying it...so i sat at a place about 2 metres away from him. then i read my books lor...then when he left, i immediately lunged over and rooted my huge butt onto the parquet floors of that spot...hmmm...parquet floors, that give u another clue isn't it. anyway, was reading pretty interesting fashion illustration books yesterday while at kino. would love to own those cuz i really like the way they draw. very attitude and got style. guess i will be back there today...hehe. when i go to Mt E for check up.

*****

met up with eunike and yoana yesterday too, cuz i eunike needed my art fren card to buy copic markers for her fren. copic markers...they are something that u buy only 1 or 2 of them, but not 30++ of them in one shot. that's wad eunike bought for her fren(means her fren cared off her to buy la). 30++ of copic markers, i have never seen so many copic markers being bought before...let alone owning them. it totalled up to $196, after a 15% discount with my card.

*****

speaking of art fren discount cards, i realised that yesterday was when my art fren card was really useful. after leaving eunike and yoana, i went back to kino to read books(that's when i went to read the books at my favourite spot). after reading the 6 books that i took. i went up to art fren again. then saw veliani, aep junior. she also needed to get stuff and was delighted that i got my art fren card with me. cuz she can use it for discounts then...hehe. ok, i think my junior batch of AEP pple are really united, abit unlike ours. :(

*****

oh yeah...i guess i can read my harry potter book liaoz. and guess wad, i dun even need to buy it.

*****

ok, i think i am pretty much done here, gotta get ready and go Mt E... think i need a haircut.

22nd day in aircast...

look where we went for class outing yesterday

lol...i realised that the fireworks pic i took yesterday turned out to be blur, so if i were to edit the pic with my class pple in front of the fireworks, it will look rather unrealistc...so...hehe...this's an alternative.


look where we went for class outing! lol!

ps: yeah! going to Mt E tml for xray...i love xrays...

21st day in cast...

Happening Sia...Not

no, i did not leave my house today, i was stuck at home enjoying the comforts of seeing my drawing materialise on the computer screen and creating a burgeoning city in sim city4. lol. ya, i told my frens that i didn't want to go eat with them today cuz i was too tired. and i didn't watch the O-SO-BEAUTIFUL fireworks at the esplanade in which some opened up to form the 5 stars of our national flag. yupz...i also didn't manage to drink the O-SO-FILLING yet yummy Haaaaagen Daaaaz green tea milk shake which is rather hua xuan cuz u can get 2 scoops of green tea ice cream for a price of $8 considering that one scoop alone is $4.50. but no, i din get to drink that. so sad hor. i also didn't see the throngs of pple that might attempt to crush the slow walking, feeble looking(actaully maybe not so feeble since i am rather fat now)me with their fast moving legs. it's so unhappening...i din get to do all these...cuz i was stuck at home...and yet...i got a spy claiming that i did all these...haiz...the troubles of being a Gemini. u don't know when ur twin will sabo u...

20th day in aircast...

Today Damn Happening Sia!

ya lor...so damn happening, just that i will not feel that happening...

bloggers will know that today is the day of the world's first blogger conference which i had so conveniently and purposely missed. i actually wanted to go...but boo hoo...woke up late and had not much mood to go there...afterall, i do not actually know anyone there. so ya, no point going.

then this morning was the launch of HBP...yes...muggles u know all about that. i also so conveniently and purposely din buy despite being a self-proclaimed HP 'fan' a few years back. guess i am older now...but nevertheless, i will still buy it and read it. urgh...still remember my OFTP book was ruined by tianwei. i am never going to lend anyone my books unless they are book loving and caring freaks like me(i.e. :asks the book if it is ok, does its spine hurt, does its pages feel stretched and etc). ok, i am exaggerating, but u get my point. think i might head down to kino later. think i might as well get myself some really large retro looking sunglasses in order to hide my face. haha, why? cuz i don't want to get caught loitering outside while having my att c. k, i realised that by saying all these is not exactly considered safe. just kidding la. i will spend my whole day fiddling with my graphic tablet and playing Sim City 4 till my population at a city called san sai gai(which i created) reaches a million.(i know there are cheats to do this, but patient me(NOT!) shall wait)

then tonight got class outing, 去看烟花. 如果我走兴的话, 可能会看见博客一族.

ya...i was too lazy to change it back to english mode, so typed it in chinese...lol

oh, the two sgts that came for a house visit yesterday were rather nice, they bought a large pack of famous amos cookies, a tin of danish cookies and a box of lipton tea. i wonder if theya re sponsered to buy these stuff for me by the SAF? want me to be fatter sia...ha.

20th day in aircast...

those darned pple

why the SAF people from bmt didn't come yesterday...argh...why must have house visits...not as if i will run away from singapore...lol.

yesterday did too many digital art already...do until got headache. but it's really addictive. ha. anyway, yesterday my friend gave me 3 titles...Slackest in NS 2005, Lame King 2005 Extreme Edition(cuz of my broken leg) and Best in PES downgrading(from pes B to most probably a pes E). hahaz, i am totally flattered.

these few days have been really unexciting...so nothing much to blog about(except my digi paitning obsession).

*don seegmiller's art rocks!*

19th day in aircast...

Nuff said

18th day in aircast...

Corel Crazy

Addicted!!!

Yes, i am officailly addicted to using the tablet and the painter programe. you dun have to dirty urself to do oil or acrylic painting, just use the simulated brush tools in the program and voila! u have your very own simulated oil painting. yes, it's simulated. nothing can beat the real thing tho, but this program rocks to the core! check out these cool links, these artists use corel painter to render their works and illustrations!!! Ryan Church, TheNextSide.com, Andrew Jones and Tim Jessell! check out their works!!! unbelievable...*aspires to draw like them eventually*.

got awoken by some BMT personell calling up my home, ask me about my MC and stuff. Say want to visit me today or tml even...ha. urm...hope he doesn't suspect anything...hurhur. anyway, woke up early and cuz i xin xue lai chao, decide to draw some random digi pic on corel. and here it is, although it's quite amateurish, but i still quite proud of it...hehe.

enjoy!

YES!!!!!

Finally! At long last! my graphic tablet is pressure sensitive!!!!! not that it isn't pressure sensitive before, but today i finally managed to activate this feature which enables me to create drawings as though it is on paper...hehehe. today's first digi art work is titled "french girl" as u can see why...duh. i think i am begining to like digi art! but...i still will stick to traditional forms of art making if possible...hehe. i love corel painter IX!!!!!

CNA interview day

yes, nerve wrecking interview by CNA for the channel 8, U and 5 news. although they wanted me to say something pretty short, along the lines of why i want to persue art, it's was a total nerve wrecker. first, got to collect ur thoughts on wad u want to say then, in a timeframe of about 10-15 seconds, ya gotta blurt it all out without any bloopers. i did 2 takes. haha. ok la, good for a first timer. just in case u want to catch yixin and i on tv, it will be on tomorrow's news on channel 5, U and 8. i think. yes, few secs of fame...hehehe...cheap thrill.

talk so much, i haven say where it was held, ya, at the SAM. today there was a congregation of sec schl and pri schl students at the museum...there's a pic below to show the situation this afternoon.



*****

today was also a day where the phenomenon of "eh, blablabla...why are u here?" happenend oh so simultaneously. also known as when u meet alot of people u know or see before one after another. first, i saw huishan, she was bringing her students from dunman high to the SAM. then, saw hejin, famous blogger to be. heh. then while at city link, saw shiyuan, bunny, and ting shu, all RV guys in NS. they were in their smart4. think they must be wondering why i, being in the same bmt batch as them, will be smart 4 free and sporting long hair. ha. then...saw nick foo, dunno him, but he is an NJ senior, then right after i saw nick foo, saw kheng guan, NJ senior senior(i.e. 2 years older than moi). he was at the AEP exhibition's opening too. i actaully like to have these kind of phenomenon happening, shows you how small singapore actually is.

meanwhile, i am still waiting for the call from YOU OHH BEE...

ps: the horrors! i just put on another 1kg...someone help me please!

YOU OH BEE

this post supposed to be posted last week, but i guess i was too lazy then. ya, hahaz.

yes, i will finally post the completed UOB painting now that i have submitted it.

pink...yoana said it sounded kinky when i descirbed it to her. lol.

*****

next it's the 2nd painting that i submitted...titled "idiosyncratic". i took the progress of the painting in stages, from sketching to completion. and YES, i drew myself again...

started off by blocking in the outlines in colour pencil


a close up of my angry face


this is the completed sketch


started to paint the first face. never mind the gross looking hair, it's not yet completed.


yupz, i used the egg packaging as a palette. damn economical and environmental friendly eh.


the second face is on the way...minus the hair tho


in case u are wondering why the colour is different here as compared to the one above, i took the above pic in the morning and the one here at night. too lazy to draw as u can see that there are no changes to both pics.


finally, on friday, the day before the submission, i completed it. added a chinese stamp at the side too.


aftermath of the painting...my room looks messy


even my bed isn't spared


my comp table has been temporarily transformed into a art table. u can see Merenwen's blog on the screen.

Random thoughts over the week

Finally, time passes faster when i have my cast off and i can go running amok with my 2 feet on the ground. btw, Bronco just had a new batch of recruits being, well, recruited last Friday. wonder who will be the "lucky" one that will be using my bed. ha. ya...i will have to go back and collect my stuff, maybe can take that opportunity to pass Sgt Hafiz the collage stuff each one of us are suppose to make to paste in the platoon photo album.

*****

last week was actually quite busy for me...did my second piece of UOB painting then. did it rather quickly, hmmm. but i feel that is it much better than the alice one la. went out quite alot last weekend. and spent alot...urgh...feel so bad. nvm, it's all worth it. i dun want to feel that bump along my leg leh...but cannot help it...it will stay with me for life. aiya, it can be a souvenir of BMT for me.

*****

tee shirt designing sounds fun. but it is fun only if people buy and appreciate your designs. haha. my first attempt is the survivor:pulau tekong one. started of as a spoof, but i can see some future in it. heh. i think i better take that design down before people start to steal my idea. ha, ya.

*****

contemplated about going to archi or SADM. hmmm, according to joey, he feels that it would be wiser for me to choose the former. i think he made some sense explainging the rationale behind it. but i am a person that is easily swayed( aka guilible). so, i am rather confused. hmmm, i don't want to use up my parent's retirement funds for that. i would rather see them enjoy life with it then send dumb me abroad. singapore is always a cheaper alternative. guess i have to find something to rope in income now. ya, so that's why i am thinking of designing teeshirts. but where to sell them?!

*****

it is said by SM LEE that he WANTS nus to have the creme de la creme in it, rather then have them being squeezed onto foreign, kantang unis. speaking of kantang. i don't really llike kantangs, and i don't want to become one.

*****

IOC, ah...it's over already. the opening act sucked big time. and i thought the drag performance was quite a put off. my suspicions were confirmed yesterday morning when the suday times revealed that the 2 "indian female" dancers were actually in drag. and what's with that SM-like costume that that male dancer was wearing...abit the 反感. i missed the france's presentation video. urgh. heard it was nice. i liked that short video by the english which shows people doing olympic sport events in everyday life.

*****

think i just caught a flu when i act hero and walked in the rain this afternoon...haha. it was fun...but cold. i like the cold wind to stay permanently, but minus the rain. it's nice to have cold windy, but sunny days in singapore. it will be nice. :)

*****

wonder was my brother is doing, keep hearing noises from his room. think he is packing up his place. but at this hour?! got school tml leh.

*****

i think i need a new wardrobe. my current clothes are like more than 3 years old...hahaz...keep wearing the same things over and over again. i got one or two new shirts...but they look very formal. i think i should go goth, not hardcore goth, but softcore goth, since i am fairer now. i would like to be abit tanner tho, so that my pimples will disappear. ah, the wonders of the tekong sun.

ps: my brother was opening up his Xbox, that explains the noise...

haiya

refering back to the pulau tekong logo which i spoofed, i am intending of printing them on teeshirts, hehheh. who is interested in buying them can look for me...i dunno exactly wad price to price them yet...

i should be staying at home...

Idiosyncratic

i got alot of things to complain about today ar...but i better dun say it...cuz the net is a VERY unsafe place. maybe the correct term is not "complain" la, but it's more of describing and critique-ing('criticise' is not a good word to use). was at the bugis, bras basah area for dinner with my family today. but before that, my mother was going to meet her client at bugis to sign some stuff. so i splitted paths with my parents and went to walk about bugis. but because i went bugis only just last week, the things there like nothing fresh. so after walking about, say, 15mins, around the usual places that i go(i.e. kino and the comic and toy shop beside it). nothing nice to do already. so, i decided to walk around the shopping complex aimlessly like a zombie.

actually, i noticed that when people go shopping, they have different styles of walking.(quite 'duh' actually)

first, there is the kind who will walk with a group of pple, ok la, this one is the most common. i shall call this the clique method(CM). the cm is much safer since the saying goes 'there is safety in numbers'. however, there is more to this method. that is the type of group that u are in. there can be the yaya yuppy office worker clique, the samasama school uniform(or youngsters) clique, the family clique etc etc. i especially detest the first clique. maybe detest is too strong a word. but i dun like them. cuz of their yaya-ness. ya lor, they think that they wear branded stuff and have credit cards can yaya their way around the shopping centre. sometimes their perfumes stink also, i shall explain why, perfumes, which are nice smelling substances can stink. imagine u got one whole group of yuppies coming towards u, male and female also got. each one spray their own brand of perfume(THICKLY). i am not exaggerating, this is extremely common among singaporean yuppies. the mixture of the assorted perfumes will give rise to a scent so nice smelling, so sweet that it is actually nauseating. (just imagine swimming in a pool made up of perfume liquid). ok, maybe i am just jealous cuz i do not earn as much money as them. but even if i do, i won't be like that...ha. most irritating is that most of them(cannot say all of them cuz by doing that i will be generalising), have the haolian face. for the unacquainted, it is the look being achieved when u tilt ur head about 30 degrees upwards and having ur eyes look slightly to the ground(u dun need to worry about how to position ur eyes, by tilting ur head ur eyes will automatically achieve the look. dun believe can try).

ok, this concludes the 'clique' segment.

next, there is the couple shoppers...haha. this is most funny. after walking around bugis junction about 4 times while waiting fore my mother's appoinment to end, i noticed that most couples are of the same kind one or either the one them is CMI(cannot make it) while the other is quite goodloooking.
yes.

then the last one. the loner, aka fabian fan tingzhang. hahahhahahha. i do realised that i am the only "shopper" walking alone. so sian lor. see the above groups until so sian. then i decided to 破形象(although i dun really have a 形象), by looking real pissed when walking about. whever pple look at me, i will give them the eye(or diao them). so mean i know, but i was bored. then i pretended to have like a chewing gum in my mouth and chewed and chewed and chewed. then accidently chewed on my tougue. ok, enough of being bo liaoz. ha, fabian 活该.

*****
found this rather ugly photo of myself talking to mr liu kang(during the AEP exhibtion) on this flickr account. haha, the other photos taken in the "eye speak" set of this VS teacher is not bad tho. i like the candid shot of mr lee...ahhaz. i can't remember wad i was thinking when i was snapped. my mouth seems to be in a weird sort of contorted shape. like i am planning to eat up mr LIU TAI GHER for dinner like that, ha. and why is the crutch there?!






























my ugly picture aside, i think i like this picture the most...hehe, also taken by a particular VS teacher whom i dunno.














i feel so insightful telling mr LIU TAI GHER about my artwork...hehehe.

ok, kudos to the vs teacher who took the brilliant photos and i must sleep liaoz...

ps: in case u are wondering why LIU TAI GHER is in caps, that is because before that, i wrote liu kang instead. that's his dad that has already passed away, and a rather famous pioneer artist btw. argh...too much art history affects ur thoughts

fluctuations

ok...my fluctuating stomach pains are sort of going away. tml's friday. fast. one more week and i am back to see dr tay. two more weeks and my MC will be over...heh heh, dunno if i can get somemore MCs or not. hahaz. actually no good la, bad for health, everyday stay at home, no sun. pimples will pop out. i think that's why i had NO pimples while in tekong, baking under the hot tekong sun.

like i have heard so many times *spoilers ahead*, the ending to the war of the worlds was very very and i mean VERY abrupt. compare it to a runner running really really fast. just went he/she is about to reach the finishing point, he stops almost immediately a few steps before the actual finishing point. u get the analogy. but overall nice effects(cliched...). really exciting and YES, dakota fanning rocks!!!!!

i have seen her adorable, yet naughty girl role in "uptown girls"
















yes dakota, enough of that already...heh

seen her in the smart alecky role in "cat in the hat"



























hihi dakota, how are ya?

and also saw her act brilliantly as a deranged(sort of) child in "hide and seek"

say bye dakota

ya, she is a great actress...just dun end up like lindsay or the olsens

Battle Royale:Pulau Tekong

hahahahz...funny sia. had this thought while browsing mr miyagi's "SAF stories blog". why not churn out a series of stories related to being stranded on an offshore island. pulau tekong is a good choice, uninhabited(mostly), unless u count the large concentration of recruits and other SAF personnel along Ladang avenue. they probably can do a survivor:pulau tekong. interestingly, the acronym for pulau tekong is PT(physical training).

*i have removed the pic to prevent copyright infringement*

anyway, did this spoof logo of survivor...haha...i think i should have changed the palm trees to a stylised version of a soldier with a M16. haha...i am so bo liaoz. they should do it lor, mediacorp or wadever corp should have a survivor pulau tekong, really. i thought that the 7 day field camp that i went through was already survivor enough, imagine 40days outfield...hahaz. nvm. or...

...they could do a movie of battle royale: pulau tekong.

better still, make it real. i am so evil but i am sure many ex NSFs will pay good money to watch it, i know i will. :)

IOC

hihi, i am IOC, u must seen and heard pple uttering my name millions of times for the past few weeks and even more often for these few days. it is good that pple have chosen me to come to singapore. why good leh(pardon my attempt to speak singlish)? cuz for me being in this sunny, tho abit tiny island, i shall bestow the people of singapore a multitude of benefits. hehe, i bet all u clever singaporeans now wad they are, so, i will not go into that.

but most importantly, i am the closest thing that singapore will get to hosting the olympics(something that can never happen), unless...




singapore reclaims a land area the size of pulau tekong to host the events. better still, they can host the triathalon on pulau tekong. i honestly dunno what goes on in this island. but during a visit to the nearby starbucks outlet at raffles city, i overhead this conversation by a group of teenaged guys with the same buzz cut( i thought they belong to some cult since the whole group of them(roughly 7) had the identical length and style of hair. i was wrong la(see, singlish has affected me so much)...they were in fact new recruits enlisted by the singapore government to protect this lovely city)saying how terrible life is there, keep getting "ter-karned" by their sergeants. so i was thinking, let's propose to the goverment to set the triathalon there(cuz i overheard another saying how beautiful the scenery is there). then, since there are no road links to the main island from pulau tekong, the olympians could swim across the sea and then start their run to the finishing point at the olympic village(island). this could prove to the recruits i saw at starbucks that swimming across to changi from pulau tekong isn't impossible(i heard one of them saying this).

oh, i left the best to the last, olympic village, as mentioned earlier, shall be a reclaimed island off the shore of the famed east coast park(had chilli crab there last week, brillian i must say!). the island will be equipped with state of the art sporting facilities(heard that singapore wants to focus more on sports right?)like a mega stadium where huge events like the national day parade(sheesh, i will be out of singapore by then) can be held. it's a huge yet good investment in the long run. furthermore, more space can be created on the main island when the old and crumbling national stadium is demolished, with the olypmic stadium taking its place in the olympic village.

ah, how nice if this were to happen!

meanwhile, it's time for me to pack up and head over to esplanade where i am wanted for tonight's IOC opening ceremony. it's on at 7.25 on channel news asia. so do catch me there eh!
cheerios!

ps: ya lar...this is my hopes and aspirations for singapore to host the olympics la, i know it can never happen. but no harm dreaming about it right? :)
