is it just me or is life getting a bit too large for me?
k let's recall.
we were born.
we got in sch.
we slacked.
we worked.
we died.
seems pretty simple enuff huh?
we all have a few basic stuff to add to the list and it varies from person to person.but if you think about it,does it really matter? we all come to the same conclusion.we die.
okay enough about serious rants.on to more serious ramblings.
okay just a quick refresh.for me.i haf a band.but i wonder if its of any use right now.also.i wander about what to do about my future.
there are so many avenues.my mind aint fixed.but i pretty much noe what im gona do in the fture.nothing really specific.but just something that could hold me down.as an interest.as a passion.and not forgetting.a path to generate the much important mulah.
i guess i would always be involved in the media industry.i mean.face it.it is so much a part of the lives we live today.its not just around us.its in-your-face around us.
so much i wonder how much we have to do to keep up with it always evolving?
hm.i probably settled my idea for my final year project alr.but it remains to be seen.i haf ideas for both the animation side and the video side it it beckons.
oh.i also dropped my 3d animation 2 course.it is pretty heavy.and intensive.but currently.i mite a slight regret in doing so.heard it aint that big a burden with ppl doing their projects being submitted in groups.so it aint that bad.but i can always still go and crash to see what is it that im missing.no harm done.alan wuldnt mind.i suppose.
oh.on another note.im currently helping kenny with his short film.entitled 'our last day'.u shuld go watch it.i think its worth watching.coz i was part of the crew.its gona be great.i think.and u learn so much from doing so.i mean.being part of the crew.i got a little tanner but i think it would shed off.somehow.hm..
yeah.so pretty busy man.oh and miss costa rica won.duno why.wierd.

okie dokie
i have just gone to a visual presentation for the lucasarts singapore studio, where its main priority is to reach out to grab the talent pool in singapore.
but it ended up with it being more like a casual presentation about lucasarts and its collaboration with ilm, industrail lights and magic, the very same people who made most of the special effects shots u see in feature films nowadays.
yeah so there were like big heads from lucasarts in california and ilm to they took their time to come down and talk to us about the upcoming projects and their past works. they also showed the latest technology they were developing for the next-generation games.
it was pretty amazing stuff.i gota say.and it was a pretty much last minute decision to get there.
i was like 2 bus stops away from home free when he called and asked me to go and try to squueze my way in by registering on the spot.u see.i was kindalate in noeing abt this talk and i registered late and therefore my application got rejected.so i went home.
normally i wuld just give it a miss but its lucasarts after all so i made the trip all the way down to the cathy which was spanking new.ferst timer here...
oh yeah..they also mentioned that they are actually working on a project that would be a 3d serial animation that would be aired. its gona be called star wars: clone wars and its all made by the ppeople at lucasarts.damm.that imp0ressive.
also, other then dat, they are makin a game for the sony (whooo~) psp (whooo again~~).its a music beat simulator where it generates mad button mashing on ur psp based on the music it has stored in ur psp itself.so there are tonnes of different combinations and it opens up a whole new door towards innovation.
speaking of innovation,there were also displays of new techs for the upcoming next gen games like indiana jonesas as well as their personal franchise, the star wars. both displayed great sense of physics and dynamics and also had this new software which enables the character to react realistically in real time, without any keyframes in the animation.how cool is that?i bet its gona be very widespread in the industry sooner or later.
yeah.dats abt it lah.just wanna log down this moment.nth much lah.see yah around man.

u noe what.i feel like crap.like the crap you see lying in front of your neighbour's house every morning when you leave the house.
k.not literally but you noe what i mean.
anyway.today is suppossed to be not that bad.
coz its like a movie day.where we sit and watch a movie.you noe like n a normal cinema.however.its different in a way that we get to sit in for a talk about how different film and video are in terms of the medium used in shooting something.not only that.we are treated to the screening of deleted scenes from perth, a feature film by a local diretor, djinn, as well as some other little tidbits.
the wierd thing is that after that short screening,they had a lucky draw and one of us got picked and won a dvd to the show.we were like.what?i mean,we get the dvd to the show even before they screened the whole show.that defeats the whole purpose of the screening doesnt it?
and we were given an hour and a half to slack before they actually screen it.so we got to hang and chill around the national museum.by then.i was still thinking about whether to watch it or not.i mean.its not like its free or anything.we r gona pay for it.
so in the end, a big group of us decided not to watch the show.and while we were like a half hour away from the screening thetre, they called us to get back as the organisers paid and reserved our tixs for us.we were like.hey.hello.the information u just said could have been useful to us earlier.much earlier.damm u lah.
so we decided to screw it and just continue to head on to whereever we were going.which was funan.however,in the 1st place.nobody asked them to pay for us and our tixs loh.we as consumers reserve the right to not turn up if we dun pay.
yeah and so i mulled thru the whole day.even though i played titan quest on a mac book pro.uber crap.somehow i just dun feel like its right.
and also other stuff.
like being the VDO head and everything.dammit lah.
also.i spurned block teaching in hell
argh~~~~
and people i see in the mailing list could easily surpass me with their vast knowledge and everything loh.major crap man.
i guess i would learn from them though.arh.....
