A short film inspired by this statement: "What if you watch a film and whenever you pause it, you face a painting?"
Pause at the video and check it out.
Very abstract.

New Desktop!!!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Been some time since I blogged. Been so busy that I can literally fall asleep once I touched my back on the bed.
Anywayz, this weekend is one of the rare occasions I actually get a breather, so I decided to do a MASSIVE CLEAN UP for my desktop. Well, my PC caught a trojan, so what the heck... might as well just do a full format since the performance of the PC was going down the hill anywayz.
And after I've recovered all of my programs on my PC, actually went to decorate my desktop. And here's how it turns out. :D
Anywayz, just playing around.. even went to customize my login screens and startup screen XD Really liked the results it turns out.. Hmm time to get a new screensaver.

River of Dreams - Billy Joel
Love the vibe, love the lyrics and love Billy Joel! Click on the title of this post to watch his Music Video.
River of Dreams
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
I must be lookin' for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
Chorus:
Even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole
Chorus:
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for
Two beat Pause)
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night (break)
Chorus:
I’m not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That is runnin' to the promised land
(Long Four Beat Pause)
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

New Yamaha Keyboard!
I've just bought myself a new Digital Keyboard for myself to use as a tool for my piano lessons that I recently took up!
It was pretty cool and I had a lot of fun fiddling with all of its settings and the keyboard sound samples. Been a long while since I'm so excited about something great for myself. Almost as if I'm ready to rock myself out of this world.
Now that I have my own instruments to play, it's like one major item being checked off the list of things I have to do for my life. And the next step.... improve and live my dream... To be a musician.
And on top of that, I was surprised with my mum's reaction to my new keyboard. She was happy that I'm buying something useful for myself and she let me know about something that I was even more surprised about her is that she always loved people who are able to play piano and hoped for me to work hard for my aims and dreams.
In the past, my mum used to be disapproving of what I love to do for music and any other stuffs that I used to do for anything that had to do with art. Hence I never got a chance to go for any music, vocal, drama or even arts lessons whenever there was an opportunity that came up. Because of how financially burdened my family used to be and as a result, performance art was deemed as something that couldn't fetch any bread for our family. As time goes, the passion for it dies down.. in a sense... it took another direction and I ended up as a designer instead.
But in the recent years, I've rekindled my passion for music again and seeing as I'm able to fend for myself, I've decided to devote more of my own money and efforts to start myself out as a musician.
It's pretty sad that now I'm starting really late compared to those much younger and talented musicians out there. So seeing this change of heart of my mum has actually encouraged me further that I should not give up despite me starting late as a musician.
As I've always believed that there's no limit to who can learn new things, I shouldn't be defeated by this and focus more on honing my own musical skills so that I can stand on the same stage as those other artistes out there, and share my own style of music and tell stories that I've longed wanted to tell.
And as of right now, this is going to be a new phase to my plans for my future.
Till then, God Speed!

Concepts, Concepts and more Concepts.
Now working in another place after I left my previous work place, there are a lot more things that I need to learn and experiment all on my own efforts. It is something that I've been yearning to learn but a tad bit discouraging when I've tried and failed for so many times.
Knowing how to design is very different from learning to design and tell a story with a concept. It's like singing without a soul; technically proficient but yet lacking the feeling to make the song real. It takes so much more to be able to feel and grasp the gist of a concept before anything else can be done.
It's a good thing that I get to realise this after being so long as a designer to understand this (sounds like i'm a failure, but it's better late than never right?) Or else... I couldn't even go far at all striving to be in the industry...
Feel the design......
