VFX


I wanted to take up visual effects when doing my degree. However, now as I'm studying in Raffles Design, I'm currently taking up interactive media design cuz it's the only path to taking a degree in animation and visual effects in the school. But right now, what I'm learning is kind of not in my interest. ie. Graphic design.. Photoshop.. Illustrator.. I'm done with static jpegs man, gimme some video, mpegs, avi, mp4, mov work!!

Sadly, that will have to wait.. Sometimes I feel quite disappointed that I have to wait 2 years before I will get to learn abt what I really enjoy doing. So well, patience. Have to learn to make good images first before you learn to make good videos. Kind of like learning to walk first before you run. Lol.. But I already can run.. Heh!

In the meantime, I shall just make my videos as a hobby, to quench my insatiable thirst to working with videos.. Btw, I want a HD camcamera! Haha. Maybe a Creative Vado HD will suffice..? ^_^

TOL Blog Designer


I think I'm more or less the official blog designer of TOL's blog. But I don't mind, at least I have something to do or else I'll feel so awkward to be in a group and yet not be active. Lol..

IHM TOL Blog - http://ihmtol.blogspot.com/

Don't be surprised if you see similar design elements down at that blog.
Can't expect much from the same designer for now. Haha.

Finally Started School


Ok, I finally started school yesterday. Had my first day of lessons since I finished my A's couple years back. Lessons in RDI are fun. Yup. My tutor's from Columbia. He's fun and cheerful. Even from one session yesterday, I can tell I'm going to enjoy learning from him. Haha.

Classes are combined with the previous semester students. That makes our class abt 20 people strong. And I'm the only Singaporean there. Feel like a rare species. Lol. But nevertheless, it's fun. Get to meet people from different places and appreciate their ideas.

Currently I'm still quite free. Only need to go school on 3 days. Mondays are full day while Tuesdays and Thursdays are afternoon days. But that means more time for more homework. Lol. Until then, the remaining days are still my free days.

There are students in class that are only 16 years old. And I'm one of the oldest there, even though I'm 21. Haha. How I wish I could be like them, studying for degree at that age. But it's ok, I'm the only one that went thru A levels, though it doesnt seem like it's significant at all. Haha. But hey, I have one more cert than them. Lol, trying to console myself. Anyhow, I'm sure to have fun there.

Finally Gambit is Here!


I've watched the previous 3 X Men movies. And I must say I was actually quite disappointed with the characters. Yeah, sure you have the big names like Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Prof X, Jean Grey, etc.. But they always seem to miss out on one, intentional or otherwise.. And that is my favourite character.. Gambit!!

And now there is X Men Origins Wolverine. And of course, making his debut on the big screen for the very first time is Gambit. Yay! Ok, the show isn't released yet and I'm dying to watch it, keeping my eyes wide open to spot Gambit. But by what I've seen in the trailer so far, he has quite a role in the action scenes. Yes! The actor had better portray Gambit properly. Lol.. Loved the way he shoots the cards instead of throwing them like in the cartoon.. And how he Cajun Strike the ground which explodes in purple light.. =D

Here's how badly I like Gambit..


Lol.. I just wish I could charge the cards like he did.. =P

My "Dream" Phone

























I was so bored today. I set aside some time to open up photoshop and think.

"So what could I design today? Hmm.. Why not make something with just simple shapes?"

And the iPhone came to mind, simple in design, yet captivating and elegant. Thus, I set off to design miPhone. Lol. Yeah, that's lame. Anyway, I didnt come out with a name so I'm not that lame after all. Oh, I added call buttons, much alike the Nokia 5800. I really like coloured slits for call buttons. Lol.

I think I can do better than this phone. Just need more time. Haha.

Lazy To Blog


Lol.. I'm feeling very lazy to blog nowadays.. Spending too much time on other websites. But anyway, I wonder how many people actually view my blog, apart from those who are active in my tagboard thing. Haha.

So, school is starting for me soon. I can't wait for that. 1 week more to go! Raffles Design. Here I come! *zooms*..
