Coding weirdly.

14 05 2008

Here are few weird codings. But they make perfect sense.

———————————-

var GDFAdvertisement:String = “Difficult”

if (GDFAdvertisement == “Difficult”)
{
     trace(”Change your idea lor”)

else if (GDFAdvertisement != “Difficult”)
{
     trace(”Sketch your ideas lah”)
}
else
{
     trace(”Get ready to fail”)

——————————

 

for (var GDFAssignments:Number = 1; GDFAssignments > 0; GDFAssignments++)
{
     trace(”NEW ASSIGNMENT. NEVER ENDING! HAHA.”)

Commotion Caused

14 05 2008

Sometimes, words are a good source of information. It allows us to create wonderful scenery, with eventful plots, and often interesting and deep characters. It is also however, a source of spit and evil. Words that can create Commotion are used so often nowadays that it has become a part of living.

People always ask the same thing.

I always say the same thing.

I’m past that Whiny Age. 3 years ago, I was a typical 17 year old, affected by people’s comments, pissed off at sarcastic remarks made about me. Tell me, which 17 year old doesn’t go through all of that.

3 years later, I’ve learnt to live and let live. 3 years later, they will forget that they ever had an argument / disagreement with you, so why bother.

As always, I don’t have enough time for my projects, let alone start a pissing war.

 

Next, by examining the consequences of a blog entry, we can conclude that no matter how well hidden your blog is, as long as it is accessible, it will be found.

Those who think that their blogs could be hidden so well online, will be getting an invitation shortly from Google to kiss its ass.

If one’s blog is being publicly publicized, one will have to know that by typing nonsensical stuff on their own blog, it is also their responsibility to face any commotions caused.

Although I cannot say how to a certain extent I agree with some part of some people’s blog post, but often, the negative parts usually just cover up any positive sentences or conclusion made.

I know this is turning out to be a half formal and half informal piece of entry, but I just couldn’t resist the temptation of trying to force this entry into a piece of Information paper, as much as I am also trying not to.

After all, its just another entry.




Wonderful day. Not.

12 05 2008

The day started off badly, because of the “Excellent” service provided by SBS Transit. I went out of the house, and within my estimation, my Estimated Time of Arrival in school would be around 8.35am, which would be nearly 1/2 hour earlier before my lesson starts.

After 4 buses, 3 double deck and 1 single deck, all full, I was so pissed off that I decided to take hail a cab down to school. I took the cab at 8.35am. Yes, the time that I should be already in school. I understand mornings are hard to fit in times, that it why I don’t grumble when the first bus is full and just drives off, because I know the 2nd bus would fit me in at least.

Today was the worst experience I had with SBS Transit. The moment I reached class, I shot a letter of complaint over. I am so going to escalate this matter if they don’t do something about it. Asswipes.

“BE GREEN, TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORT”.

Digital Photomedia today was so-so. I didn’t had much inspiration on what to take today, and so the photos taken weren’t really what I expected. No ideas came in today for photo shoot.

Then Graphic Design Fundamentals is killing me. I’ve came up with a truckload of ideas, non up to my expectation. I put to sketch every Idea that came to me, and upon reviewing them, I realized that I’ve gotten none the better.

I’m supposed to do 3 linked advertisements for 1 single product that we picked in the list provided. So far, I’ve only got 1 idea that I think is acceptable each for 2 product.

Product 1 - 1 acceptable idea
Product 2 - 1 acceptable idea

Anyone I picked, will mean that I’m still down to 1. It sucks deeply to have a stale state of mind. It really sucks.

I’m so tired that I fell asleep the moment I reached home. After a groggy feeling dinner, I went back to sleep again. I’m so freaking exhausted and not being able to work on my ideas really is not helping at all.

I guess its time to do my work now and continue the brain-storming session on the go. 




Slight catching up

12 05 2008

Went over to Grandmother’s house today for dinner. Nothing climatic, just a dinner and after that, its the long trip back home on the packed MRT. Walked past the “TRAIN IS BETTER” advertisement board in the Station. I wonder how many people really take Train just because its “FASTER”. I assume those who take cabs / drive cars enjoy the fact that they don’t need to squeeze with a truckload of people, including some uncouth people from some places.

Train is better? I’m sure it is, with 1 single trip costing S$1.30, along with the tuna sandwich styled cabins, fillings so full.

A slight breather on what needs to be done.

1) GDF Advertisement Project - Week 7
2) PP1 Autobiography 50% - Week 7
3) DRF 5 Sketches - Thursday
4) PDA Quiz - Wednesday
5) FCP - 3 Sketches and Blog Entry - Friday
6) PP1 Consultation Session - Tomorrow / Monday

 

Random Note: I just realized green, black and white goes well together. Soothing to my eyes.

 

Work ended yesterday. It was my last day. Lots of things happened. I extended from pre-closing to closing. The whole building had a power trip and we had to do our closing in darkness. I took cab home thanks to the driver because he said if he was to drive us all together, I would reach home at 3.30am, and so he sponsored my cab trip home. I ate a lot of Starbucks sandwiches after I got home.

 

I need my creative cells to start working again. They’ve been so lazy for so long.

 




Random Rambling.

11 05 2008

Warning: Do not bother reading this post if you are not interested by Random Thoughts.

On my way back from work to home, I sat in the cab, stoning completely. Suddenly some thoughts came appearing out of nowhere.

What really is Love and Like and what makes one half attracted to the other.

Isn’t liking someone a kind of Infatuation? Infatuation + Acceptance = Love. If liking someone is a kind of infatuation, isn’t loving someone an action proposing that we are indulging in the climatic periods of Infatuation. Maybe that is why more and more people are breaking up in relationships.

Often you’ll hear things like, “With sincerity and time, you’ll win his/her heart.”. Aren’t friends also showing Sincerity in their friendship and if so, how do a person differentiate between a friend’s sincerity and a crush’s sincerity.

How do we display our sincerity so it differs from a crush / friend.

Even so, If we can get a conclusive answer to that, wouldnt that Sincerity become just a kind of display for him/her/others to see. Does it mean that only when you are in states of infatuation and going after someone, you show your sincerity. Nonsensical.

Then also explain to me what is “No feel”. Does that means without feel, a person can devote all his time and energy into a relationship hoping it to advance further but in the end get nothing and vice versa for for with feel scenario.

I often think that Love is no more then just acceptance with infatuation. Infatuation without acceptance, is and always will be infatuation.

And there is the question that why people can put in so much time into friendships, and trying to advance it further, only to realized that the sought after is already with someone he/she just knew.

Relationship between a guy and a girl is, and always will be confusing and unsolved.

 

In the past, I thought I knew everything about it.

Now, I realized I know nothing at all.

Tired.




Graphic Design Fundamentals - Project 1

Break updating.

8 05 2008

Having a break, and thought of updating. Eyes is sore and red now, probably due to the fact that I was rolling around in my bed trying to get to sleep and the dust got into my eyes. Sucky feeling. To think I still have to look at the computer to do my work.

Drawing Fundamentals
Today was horrific. Drawing fundamentals might prove to be my downfall after all. To think that I was having slight hope that I might do proper for that module. Seems to me not. After all, drawing is the only subject I’ve studied till now that I cannot have control over.

Graduation Day
Graduation day yesterday was fun, meeting up with friends that hasn’t seen each other for so long. Miss Tiffany came along for awhile too and I had fun playing with the Digital SLR Alpha 200. I just hope that I’ll get my own DSLR soon. Saving up for it still.

Work
Work is ending this saturday. Feelings? I don’t know what to feel about it. I feel more relieved actually to be quitting work, because even without work, school assignments are proving quite a chore. I’m still able to manage it though, barely, with some time for rest and break, but definitely not for work. Thus choosing to quit would be a good way to save myself from overworking.

Its also disappointing to think how many people (I refrained from using the word IGNORANT) has no idea that being a multimedia student is both challenging and tiring. For me, it is what I want. I feel happy being busy. I feel that every assignment is the way to explore new possibilities.

To others, it is just another course. It is just school. It is just books and nothing else.

It hurts me and at the same time tells me that people are ignorant when they say things like that. The only people who can understand all these, are people who have gone through all these. So please, don’t compare Business courses, Biomedical course and whatever Papaya Research courses you are attending with mine.

Seriously. I don’t care what kind of stuff you come out with. Try coming up with a character of your own. Try having a world you control. Now that’s the IN please.

MISC
Onto other things. I’m feeling kind of guilty for the fact that my life is all studies and school and assignment. I’m not complaining. It’s fun. Its just that maybe I am so occupied with the stuff I like that I take for granted the things I have.

What can freelancing get me. Can it get me money? Yes of course If I am good. Here is 1 thing working at there will get me. It is “preparation for the future”. I can pat my chest proudly and say Freelance, even 1 will get me whole lot of experience then working there.

.

var myName:String = Zixiang
var myHeart:String = inputBox.text

for (i:Number = 1; i > 0; i++)

{

trace(myName + ” loves what he do” + ” =” + myHeart)

}

Life is busy now.

7 05 2008

I’m kind of losing the correct perspective of time. Its passing very fast. Unknowingly its been a month since I’ve started schooling. With datelines every week, its just meeting 1 dateline after another. Fun as much as it may be, its moving so fast.

Graphic design is really pissing a lot of people of. Including myself.

Peeps in class really have to take care of themselves. Some are falling ill all over again. Its always better to visit the water dispenser then pay to visit a doctor, so drink more water, especially some people.

Here are the photos from Digital Photomedia Lesson this week.

I like this one so much

Catching up.

5 05 2008

Time to close my eyes, take a deep breath and recall what I’ve done and what I am supposed to do.

1) PP1 Sketches over. Didn’t get much for that, but its ok. I’ll get back from the 90%.

2) Drawing Assignment Done on Last Friday.

 

What I am suppose to do:

1) Complete GDF Articles and touching up

2) Research for IS (Important) tml

3) Design PP1 at least 50% completed

4) 5 Perspective Sketches for Drawing Fundamentals

 

So I am going to rush for my IS COMT and once I complete it, all the troublesome stuff are out of the way. This puts me where I can finally do the proper stuff again. Happy thought.

Some rest before I go do my research.




Short Scribble.

2 05 2008

Scribbling into this small post right now. Don’t think I’m blogging because I’m too free. Its just that my pain Desktop PC is taking some time to turn on because I need to scan my magazine in. So I’m using the free time to scribble some stuffs here.

Drawing lessons were disastrous yesterday. We had to sketch Landscapes and I didn’t know better, thus trying to embrace the whole scenery infront of me into my small piece of drawing block. I ended up with a piece of unsightly piece of crap. Really regretted wasting my 1 1/2 hours.

Jackson accidentally tore my drawing though. Ain’t too sad about that. It means that I’ll have to work faster and harder to catch back the progress.

Currently finishing up my Graphic Design Fundamentals Assignment 1. Its a task to revamp 2 articles from magazines into good layouts of good magazines. Sounds easy? Not so. Its actually even more restricting because we are required to follow layout of good magazines and so we are darn restricted.

As much as I believe that each article has its own fitting theme and layout, It is also essential that we learn what is good layout before we start making good layouts.

I’m done with 2 of my spreads. Totally not satisfied with my second spread (2nd Article). I’m doing the 3rd one right now. Some might think I’m crazy.

“Finish 2 already what, can off com go sleep, and see what lecturer says tomorrow.”

“Haolian izzit, people do 2 also cannot manage, you go do 3.”

I’m sure those happens =). Used to it happening all around.

Im just doing so because:
1) I cannot sleep well knowing I have a piece of unsatisfactory work done.
2) Yes, I can show my lecturer the 2 revamp articles I’ve done. But what do I gain If they are lousy, I still have to redo them anyway.
3) I like to do alot, what can others do to stop me hahaha. Nonsensical reasoning.

I know the final dateline is next week friday, but that is only if we are confident that our work is presentable and doesn’t need anymore comments or criticism from the lecturer. So showing as much as I can now is kind of a backup plan, in case my second article does truely fail the pass grade. If it doesn’t, I’m going to replace it anyway. Hahahaha.

The Store dinner just now was somehow fun, only to remind me that my last day of service is closing in soon. Its still not a good thing to have Sambal Stingray, Sambal KangKong, Chili all over when you’re having a throat infection.

I feel so sickly right now I can smell the sick smell in my nose.

Continue my magazine editing….
