TELL me HOW.

Posted by: zixiangx on: May 29, 2009

OMG. Its been 6 weeks into school. No, 7 next monday. Its so fast and we’re going to have our term break. With the wonderful thing of term break comes the not so exciting thing called “Datelines”.

WE ARE OVERDUE.

Or rather we are going to be overdued. There’s a ton of things to be done. Actually, year 2 isn’t that of a busy year yet, it’s just that we tend to put off what we should have done ages ago. For me, its FDW, Figure Drawing. Its no surprise that I am not that specialized in drawing anyway.

I have tons and tons of drawing to catch up. Meanwhile, my PBM animation class isn’t going that bad yet, and the things that I’m supposed to do are actually done, except for the portfolio. but that’ll be done up soon anyway so I’m not too worried about that.

Next up is DAD, the audio design module. CRAP LAH, I have to submit a storyboard that is edited into a video montage along with the audio designed sounds. This is crap, as if the module assignment isn’t enough that they have to give us the portfolio crap as well, and we can’t even do it at home, because we do not own the thousand dollar hardware, or at least the hundred dollars hardware.

Lastly, its 3D Modeling! I’ve finished my plane 2 weeks ago! In fact I’ve actually modeled my first plane the 1st week into school to get it familiarized. I redid the wonderful Mitsubishi Zero Fighter on week 3! Just trying to nit pick with details here and there throughout the past few lessons.

Term break is coming, and what am I going to do! Of course, I want to have fun! I’ve yet to think about the 1M01 gathering, and there’ the I&E logos and project to do, but I’ve planned a series of portfolio stuff to do during the term break!

3D Models :-

Spitfire Plane (Done)
Mitsubishi Zero Fighter (Done)
Lamborghini Gallardo (Not yet started)
AE 86 (Not yet started)

Animation :-

Sneaky Walk Cycle
Personality Walk Cycle

Drawing :-

Drawing when I feel like it then. I don’t like :( .

I have nothing planned for audio design. Not going to even try. Don’t ask why.

It’ll probably follow down the list, 3D models first before Animation and lastly drawing if possible.

Hyped and ready.

Not for now.

Life is but a plane.

HELLO.

Ages seen I’ve updated again. What am I up to lately. I’ve been quite busy with Microsoft ImagineCup Competition along with Jonathan. We’ve been trying to catch up with the photo taking despite the school work stuff to complete.

I’ve finally finished ImagineCup! For now, that is if I lose the 2nd round now. Results will be out, first day of June. 6 finalist, and if we do get in, we’ll be going to egypt!

But I don’t think we’ll win because our photos aren’t that great, but I love my own photo story, such corny lines.

I am so exhausted, out the whole day to take photos day after day. Not to mention that sometimes classes end so late. I seriously almost fell ill, but luckily not yet.

I love my plane. Random? No! We’re doing Plane Modeling in our 3D classes! I love it lah, and I’m modeling different planes to get used to it. I try to spend lesser time on the base model and more time on the details! I can probably model the plane model in around an hour .

More more! I’m looking forward to lessons, and school weeks are moving so fast.

I just went out lately with KHW and Drey, along with Bel to watch Angels and Demons. A must watch for conspiracy and mystery lovers.

Today, it’s my turn to accompany her to her Secondary School Fiesta, together with her good friends. Felt weird at first, because the whole school was flooded with girls, its a girls’ school after all!

The day ended with Pastamania at Cineleisure and it went pretty well! It wasn’t as awkward as I had expected! Her friends were nice people too seriously.

I need my rest and I need more time! Don’t move so fast time, don’t go past me like a plane.

A Long Cumulative Update after ages.

Posted by: zixiangx on: May 5, 2009

Hello everyone!

It must be a sad thing to see that I’ve not been blogging right.

To compensate for that, let me tell you people what I’ve been up to lately.

Firstly of course, school started. I’m in my 2nd year now, and gladly taking up the specialization that I’ve always wanted to be in, Digital Animation. Its been both excitement and strangeness with the start of the school.

Excitement is because I’ll get to finally do 3D Modeling and Animation, and also concentrate purely on the Animation side, which I’ve been wanting to do for years.

Strangeness is because, I’m parting from my 1st year class and we’re all now in different classes. Its weird not having lunch with them, its weird not seeing and hearing them in class. Its weird to just have lessons and go home after that.

I’m getting used to it, yes I am, but I’ll never forget how much fun the class was, gaming after school, staying over in class to slack, the inside jokes of CW and also the times we rushed assignments together.

At least we’re still in the same course for another 2 years, and we might even work together as a group in the 3rd year right.

Moving on from school, I’ve been enjoying the love so far :D . I do agree that the lesser you see someone, the more you’ll miss and treasure them. It makes the moments together worth it and seems much more special.

A lot of things have changed, relationships between people, the people we see everyday, and the goals we have in life. For me, I can see the exciting future that awaits me, and YES, I’ll do my best in work, friends and love.

Next saturday will be the long awaited gathering again between drey and khw, and bel will be coming along too!

When will the M01 peeps meet again?! I’ll go organize something soon.

Till then, I’ll update soon!

Ring ring Ring

Posted by: zixiangx on: April 13, 2009

Yesterday, it was Snap Snap Snap.

Today, it’s Ring Ring Ring.

I guess you get an idea of what’s going on.

Speedpost rang my doorbell today and sent me my new phone! I’ve been waiting for ages for it and finally got it through a re-contract with Singtel.

Bel came over and we gave my room a big clean up. Moving things out of the way. I swept, mopped and move stuff while Bel wiped my table and arranged it. Now the floor is specking clean. I slid from the door to my Mac to type this post.

My table is so neat and tidy now! Maybe not now because it’s packed with stuff like my phone, cable, camera, mouse. It’ll be when I go to sleep.

I’ll get photos of my phone up as soon as I can figure out how to get a proper shot on it.

*Update: I tried my best below*

Snap Snap Snap

I went out to Courts @ Jurong Point with my mum today.

She wanted to get a digital camera, reason being that our old camera (FILM ONE) spoilt ages ago and she wanted 1 to replace it.

I went with her since I know more of the technical specs.

After a short discussion, we took the new Sony Cybershot T90.

The experience with it currently is still short, but great.

Intelligent Scene Selection. Touch Screen (Touch screen focus). 3 inch SCREEN. 720p HD video recording. Best of all, its simple for my mum and dad to use. A point and shoot camera with Auto Scene Selection, they don’t even need to turn on macro manually. Great isn’t it.

Hopefully I’ll get to snap more pictures with it soon.

12:17am. Its monday, and it’s going to be a great day. Meeting Bel, Postman, Meesua and Chicken later. The weather is cooling to sleep too. Great day, Great night.

Life is Good

Posted by: zixiangx on: April 5, 2009

Life as usual is good.

A short update of what I am up to. I’ve been doing some random things here and there. I just finished and submitted the ImagineCup competition entry. Not good in my opinion.

1) Not enough time because Jonathan’s and My free dates are often clashed. (We’re a team)

2) I don’t have a proper camera. Lets not even drag Digital Camera into this. I know its true that a good picture comes from a good photographer, and not a good camera.

But what can I do with a digital camera with 2x 3x optical zoom and I’m trying to get all the way into places I cannot access. Not good at all.

3) Not to mention that trying to get ahold of the school’s DSLR is also proving to be a pain in the ass.

4) The theme was, horrifically difficult.

Anyway, what’s over is over. Not going to think about it.

 

 

Up next would be trying to meet up with friends I have not seen for some time before school starts. Who knows how busy life will be once it starts again. Fiddling with Mac OSX Applications as usual.

I should mention that since the Polaroid days are limited, someone is clever enough to produce a program that allows you to drag and drop your pictures into it, and a polaroid will come out.

You can then choose to shake the picture, or leave it to slowly appear. Yes, shaking the picture does help.

*Update: Apparently, they do not allow direct linking so I guess you guys have to head over to the their main web to download. Link’s below. Its a small program to try and have fun with.*

MAC and Windows
Bring me there!

Have fun with the program!

Meaning while, something new is up soon. Can you guess what it is?

Indescribable Happiness

Posted by: zixiangx on: March 28, 2009

Wa-ha-ha.

I’m in a mood so high that it’s not describable by words.

Gwak Gwak Gwak.

Sounds retarded with just the previous post drowning in so much sadness.

Anyway, I’m going to head to school soon to help out in some tours or some sort, and I’ll need to head off to attend CH’s birthday chalet straight after.

Ahh! Exhilarated is one of the few words that can come close to my current mood. :D

I shall save everyone the agony of reading my repeated outings over and over again.

I’ll go blast iTunes a little before going out.

Long Days

Posted by: zixiangx on: March 21, 2009

Life’s fine. Up to nothing much too.

Logo design finish. Waiting for other jobs to fall.

Every minute’s an agony. Not knowing when I’ll meet Bel again.

No job. No events. No her.

Nothing to look forward to.

I’ll go back to counting my fingers.

Cumulative Update

Posted by: zixiangx on: March 15, 2009

I’ve decided to drop in something here incase I’m deemed missing once more.

Lately, I went out with Bel. Mainly we went to get my gift for Alex. His birthday was coming. We shopped around at bugis for a while before I decided to get him perfume. Picked up an Adidas one.

After that, it was just shopping around. I forgot that the IT Show 2009 was on and we went to Suntec unknowingly. I got myself a mouse. It looks 100% like the Apple Might Mouse. So nice, and its from Imation too. 15SGD to boot.

Today, I just came back from Alex’s birthday chalet. Brought Bel along with me. Reached around 6.30 and since we didn’t know what to do around there, we did the most basic of all human course of action, EAT.

After trying very hard not to finish all their food, and with group friends and ITE – Jon, Alex, Me photos, we headed off. It’s hard trying to avoid being smeared with whip cream on Alex’s face while escaping. It was around 11pm when we left and so we cabbed home. I dropped Bel at her bus stop and her grandma picked her up while I headed home straight.

Luckily I reached my house bus stop at 11.45pm. Avoided the midnight fee and headed home to bathe.

I’m seriously mad for agreeing to Elyas to go to the IT Show tml. Its going to be packed like hell. I’m not even getting anything! Ahh.

I guess I’m mad. Insane.
