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.

Staying in the Comfort Zone is scary; it makes one expose their weaknesses.

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......

Back from the "Undead" - New findings

Hey guys, nice to be back and sorry for the lull period of blogging. Too much is happening and been too busy to blog about the happenings.

Dropping in to say hi to all you guys reading this blog.

Been wondering over the course of the past month. One of these common behaviours I observe about the human beings (sorry for speaking as if i'm an alien). Procrastination. People will usually find reasons to hold of things and bluff their way through to make themselves feel better.. Me included.

Part of me has done it lots of times but am also guilty when I've realised what I've done... Hmmmmm.... Should I protect myself for my own happiness or should I be more giving to the others?

Bad Start to a Friday

Can you call this a bad day when you wake up earlier in the morning... took an early cab to work and can still be late for work thanks to the huge jam that occured in the expressway that I always have to go through to get to my work place?

On top of them I stepped on kitty landmines as I tried to rush my way to work.

What a way to start a day...

Sushi Glorious Sushi!

Since we're going to make sushi for our LS gathering coming in a week's time, me and my sweetie decided to try making some to test if it's a feasible feat.

Here's the results from our "hard labour". Heh!
(Warning! Heavy Graphics Ahead!)


Sushi Round 1 - not too shabby I hope... ;)


And this is the final results of our second roll of sushis we made. Nice? Huh? Huh? Yeah!

After taking shots of the sushi, we proceeded to destroy our own piece of artwork. Yum!!! Oh it tastes nice~ so LS guys... beware the roll of sushis attacking your stomachs.



Alright... feeling bloated now... *burp*

Gonna sleep it off. Heh!

Till then, God Speed.

Some interesting Disorders

Hey People, long time no blog here.

Was staying over at my girlfriend's house. We found out that there is another disorder along the line of Dyslexia.

That particular disorder would be the Dyscalculia

Contrary to those who are dyslexic, inability to read, Dyscalculia is the inability to learn and comprehend mathematics. Read on the articles from Wikipedia if you want to know more.

It's pretty amazing how we have a lot of disorders discovered as we advance in time. Are we mutating? Or are we devolving back to an amoeba?

Till then, God Speed~

If you can't beat them, get out of there.

When everyone's under stress...

... all hell breaks loose.

This time round it's my poor colleague who got it. And I can't really help much but to digitally edit the photographs of a project we're doing. It's how funny someone who insists wasn't stressed or frustrated but the body language is showing too much of how the person is really feeling right then and there.

It's either i'm too observant or i'm just looking into things too deep.

Gotta hang in there girl.
