Armored Ascension

2011-12-26T15:19:00.013+08:00

Sometimes I find it difficult to juggle all my hobbies around. 24 hours a day is just not enough. Didn't really cared to update my dead blog since my last post... 11 months and 26 days ago?

I'm entering the fourth year of making my own set of cosplay armor. Hell... After 3 years in the making, i only manage to finish up to 30% of the whole thing. Makes me feel horrible every time i saw another fellow cosplayer debuting in their own set of armor. Now that I am building my armor during the weekends, I rarely get the chance to go freelancing. Glad that i don't go clubbing, otherwise i would be financially fucked up beyond all recognition... Heh.

Everything started as a dream 3 years ago after addicted playing Monster Hunter 2G on the PSP. I learned that if you don't pursue your dream, it will always remain a dream. But, trying to live up to a dream that is over ambitious is also a burden. I'm not happy with how things are right now. 3 years is a bit too long until sometimes i wish that when i wake up in the morning, my armor would magically complete itself. Fiberglass is not the easiest thing to work with specially with the wrong kind of glass wool. Build a set of monster hunter armor is not THAT complicated, just very time consuming... since you can find all sorts of tutorials online by entering the right search query. Life is always trying to make things worst by getting in my way to complete my armor. Scumbag life.

If i have to build another set of armor, I'll try my best to avoid building any fantasy medieval related armor. Bah... enough whining.

There are lots of way out there to build a set of costume armor, for instance: fiberglass, art/ craft foam, cardboard, leather, latex and steel. Most cosplayers I know choose to build their armors from art foam because art foam could be easily shaped and sculpted, light weight, doesn't break easily and one of the fastest way to build a set of armor. I choose to build my armor from Pepakura and fiberglass which I've learn on 405th.com. Building a set of medieval armor is quite different from a scifi armor because there are quite a number of small details on medieval armors I have to figure out myself.

The Boy, The Sword and The Webblog

2010-12-31T19:11:00.014+08:00

This is my first blog post in 10 months, last blog post of 2010. Too busy building props i guess... Didn't blogged for too long... don't really know how to blog anymore. Looking back at 2010, are you happy with how you spend your year? I'm unable to reach any of the goals I set for myself at the start of 2010... At least i am able to "Get myself an intermediate photography set"; a goal I set for myself at the start of 2009! Ending 2010 with lots of regrets.

It's nice spare yourself some time to sit back and reflect the year that was before starting off with the next year. Before sharing my resolutions for 2011, I would like to reflect the year 2010.

I injured my kneecap during the 4th quarter of the year. I lived like a cripple for about a month. I don't enjoy living like that... It gets very frustrated when you are not able to make it for the lifts, all the small little things in life and to have other people looking at you differently. Made a promise to myself to not laugh at handicaps unless the damage is self-inflicted by some stupid unimaginable ways, so stupid that it couldn't be classed as stupid anymore. Love your legs, do not hop your way downhill. Warm up exercise is very important before you start any of your adventure trips. Proper footwear is very important.

Constructed my first prop for cosplay. Prop building was never easy work... Especially when you are over ambitious. Its not easy handling fiberglass...

Glad that people around me are supportive of this pet project. I'm pretty happy with the finished product. Ladies and Gentlemen, Redwing (炎剣リオレウス)from Monster Hunter 2g.

Learned that producing decent outdoor pre-wedding photography is no easy job for noobs.

If you have low alcohol tolerance, don't drink if you can't drink. Hangover is horrible. "I'm not drunk, my world is just shaky" - Sum

I think that my 2010 is a great year... could have been better... great but full of regrets. I think this is pretty much it... Have you decided your year 2010 resolutions yet? I'll share my new year resolutions here, and hopefully you will share yours too.

- Beef up more... 10kgs is just not enough. I set my aim at 60kgs, but hopefully i will reach at least 55kgs

- Improve myself, be a better person.

- Complete my armor, debut my first cosplay.

Bummer

2010-02-21T23:47:00.009+08:00

Should have put this up 2 (+2) weeks ago. I took my occasionally smart siblings and cousin up to Tabur west for what-supposedly-be-a-short-hike. (turned up to be not-a-short-hike.)

Just like most of my previous hikes up Tabur... Waking up early, give everybody a wake-up call, take a simple breakfast, double check all my gears, and off we go! Well... Its not an easy job guiding first timers up Tabur... especially my cousin and my sister. ~~There will be a "Are we there yet?", "How about now?", "I want to go home" at least once every 5 to 10 minutes~~ Bummer. But still, THANK GOD in the end both of them finished the hike and made it back to the car in one complete piece!!! Phew~ I am so glad that nothing screwed up. That's all for today i guess. More stuff here.

Tabur East

2010-01-14T12:26:00.020+08:00

My first hike up Tabur East is also my first hike this new year... The terrain features here on Tabur East is quite similar to Tabur West. Just that the trail now is much longer, steeper, much dangerous and filled with more awesomeness.The trip was delayed more than 45 minutes because of me... so, I had to buy lunch for the group... Ouch... Still, lucky for me that we are hiking in a small group. Beginners are not advised to trek/ hike here without a guide. The trail up there is ~~very~~ quite straight forward, 1 way up and the same way down. I seriously fail to understand how some hikers still manage to get themselves lost from some reports. The starting point of the trail is less than 10 minutes drive away from Tabur West. This trip for me is relaxing, we took our time camwhoring and raining ~~shit~~ death from above. That's why it took our group around 2 hours from the foothills to the last peek... From the first peek, you'll get a good view of the Klang gates and Tabur west. From the 2nd peak... I can't actually disscribe it with words... due to my very limited vocabulary... The view from up there is so awesome that it revitalizes you. There is a river at the foothills where you can wash yourself after the hike. Its a good spot to try out your macro lens capabilities.

Dear hikers, please do not leave your food wrappers on the mountain. There are rubbish bins at the foothills for you to dispose your trash. If you happen to know the names of these dragonflies, do let me know.More Tabur East stuff here.

Looking back at 2009...

2010-01-02T19:44:00.013+08:00

Its damn awesome to blog in the middle of the night while having chicken curry served with white bread and at the same time its raining outside. 2009 is finally over after 365 long days... Looking back at 2009, are you happy with how you spend your year? Regrets? I have plenty of regrets... too many to mention... Heh... there are lots of things I should have put in more effort to do back there. I feel sad because i only get to partially fulfill one of my 5 targets i set for myself at the start of year 2009. I have to admit I was not being productive throughout the year 2009...
However there are also some stuff I never regret picking up... Thinking of last year's best moments makes me smile and lightens me a little. Well, whats done is done... can't really change the past...Have you decided your year 2010 resolutions yet? I'll share my new year resolutions here, and hopefully you will share yours too.
- Beef up
- Improve myself, be a better person.

Good night...

Lata Kedondong

2009-10-30T17:18:00.009+08:00

Its been quite awhile since I last ventured into the wilderness. I was quite busy dealing with freelance stuff for the past few weeks. Kinda makes me miss the wilds a lot... On October 25th 2009, 7 guys, 1 girl and 1 dog left TTDI around 7:30 am for Lata Kedondong. Lata Kedondong is located alongside the road from Batang Kali to Gohtong Jaya in the Genting Highlands. N 03 25.82' E 101 43.86'. There is a lower falls 5 minutes away from the car park which is easily accessible by everyone... To reach the upstream falls, one must trek 45 minutes pass a bamboo forest. I have to admit that i'm actually treking like a wuss this trip (kinda creeped by Eddie and his tiger leech sucking off someone's balls story). The upstream falls of Lata Kedondong is pretty unexploited, you will actually need a machete to clear the path... cool huh? Some sort of rainbow thing is visible at the upstream falls around 9:30~11:00 am.

The water there is freezing cold, but for some unknown reasons its also one hell of murky. I didn't get to take a good shoot at the upstream falls due that area being all time foggy/ misty. I didn't went up to the Upper-tier-falls as I'm too chickened to do so... There are quite a fair amount of wildlife in that area... Tiger leeches (fanged worm-leeches), tree frogs, and various insects. Heh... We also found a Genting Highlands road sign rammed down by some drunken driver. That's all for now i guess... Peace... I think i did something wrong right before we left Lata Kedondong... I mean really wrong...
~~All the single ladies, that part covered by the genting highlands sign is actually GENTING HIGHLANDS... Woot! GG!~~

Pissed?

2009-10-22T18:09:00.004+08:00

Wow... What the fuck?!? Hmmm... That's odd, i don't remember selling my piece of artwork to any company. I think I can tell that I'm too happy about this. I don't know if i should take legal action against them... kinda broke currently, can't afford any lawyers... Its quite sad to know that this kind of unethical people still exist.

I mean its not fair for me, you are making tons of greens over there out of my art, and i'm sitting here getting nothing... Fucking pissed.

Lubuk Kawah

2009-09-22T17:10:00.005+08:00

Holy Shit! I SURVIVED LUBUK KAWAH! Lubuk Kawah is located somewhere after Tanjung Malim, Perak (N 03 43.05' E 101 35.36). Its not a hard trek at all, if without around 15kgs of shit (water supply for 2 days, food, camera with flashgun, clothes, tent and a spade to dig my shit hole to shit). Its a 2 hours trek in order to get to the camp site. There are 4WD tracks and one hell lot of leeches all over the place... Besides that, everything else is awsome. We left TTDI for Tanjung Malim around 8:30am Sep 22 09.Things got sticky as it started to rain half way tracking... Darn ~~lawyers~~ leeches... i've got 6 ~~lawyer~~ leech bites... 2 on my left foot, 1 on my left leg, 1 on my right ass and 2 near my balls... Damnit... The Rm3.50 rain coat i got from 7 eleven has a hole on it before I even use it... Bah... We setup our tents and spent a night in the middle of nowhere.
Its very hard for salon cars to maneuver their way into the starting part of the trail. Better get a 4wd next time.
There are lots of wildlife to observe along trail. Most of them are not afraid of humans.

Woot! Our awsome dinner!

We have Jedi masters wanabes during the night. Bwahahahahah.

Heh, that's all I guess... Off to dinner now.

Unusual Sunday

2009-09-21T01:42:00.006+08:00

As I'm getting ready for Lubuk Kawah, Perak tomorrow, I've realized something... going for on an adventure trip on Sunday mornings is like people going for Sunday church. going on an adventure trip on Sunday mornings became part of my life. I recall my first adventure trip was 7 or 8 months ago... a short hike up Tabur hills with frog and his ex... I think that it was awsome. I know that there are people out there that thinks that going on a trip that might end your life every Sunday morning is stupid... I feel sad for this group of people as they don't get to enjoy those wonders mother nature made for all of us. This morning was an unusual Sunday morning. I woke up at 9:30, when i finally got down from bed, its 10:30am already. I don't know, I just feel kinda empty not going adventure. Took breakfast and went to church with frog... There goes my Sunday morning... Heh.

Went to Broga Hills last week, Sir Footstool Pee-and-Shit-a-lot joined our group... He smells like crap, and he is trying to make Broga hills smells like him. Ah... Crap...
Awsome clouds... Good night folks...

Returning to Chiling

2009-08-31T12:25:00.009+08:00

Its been a few months back when i first came to Chiling Falls. I remembered that I hurt myself quite badly back then. Chiling Falls is located 21 kilometers from Kuala Kubu Bharu on the road to the Gap, East 101 45.05' North 03 35.71'. As usual, we gathered at Frog's place early in the morning, and we left TTDI around 7 because ~~Frog~~ somebody is late. I didn't really enjoyed my first trip here because I kinda screwed up my footwear. But today is different, Chiling was pretty awsome when you have all the right gears. Its a 1 hour track, river crossing plus some minor hikes in order to reach into the falls. You are advised to keep the weight of your back pack down. The track itself was quite simple, first timers are expected to plunge into the river during river crossing. I also learned a new technique to keep leeches away from Eddie... All hail the mighty BAYGON... yes, it was THAT effective! Spray it onto your socks/ footwear and let it dry, its that simple. When you spray it on a leech, it will wriggle, vomit blood, vomit internal organs, wriggle, vomit blood, vomit internal organs, wriggle, vomit blood, vomit internal organs until it finally curls up and die in a pool of blood. Its funny and awsome.

There are lots of fish here, but you are not allowed to do fish strafing here with your bow, harpoon or what-so-ever tools. Remember to bring your swimming googles along!

The world is so beautiful...if only we can see that, share it and keep it that way. -Linus

That's all for today i guess... Good night.

On the double

2009-08-27T23:27:00.008+08:00

Last Sunday, 23rd Aug 2009, was packed with double the amount of awsomeness of any other usual Sundays. Me and my gang made a quick run to the peaks of Tabur that morning. It's awsome, just that its a bit too cloudy... I kinda missed the "Tabur moment" this time, but then its no big deal. It's not the location that made the trip awsome, but the people alongside us that made the trip awsome-packed.

Playing around with white balance... tungsten mode. I took a short nap right after i got home and get ready for Eddie, Dennis and Carol's surprise party. It took Audrey (and her friend), Timmy, Frog and Me 4~5 days to wrap up everything essential for the surprise party. We printed a few copies the birthday boy/girl's mask and cracked some really bad jokes with the masks.

Oh and, if you are stung or cut by some weird looking plant in the wild, do remove the thorns and pay immediate medical attention. Otherwise, you will end up like me. I'm cut by some weird looking root with spikes while hiking Tabur.

Broga Hills

2009-08-16T17:44:00.031+08:00

Broga Hills are located somewhere near Semenyeh. One could easily reach the first peak of Broga Hills in less than 20 minutes time, there are no complicated side tracks, no need to get wet, no leeches, no serious hiking, there is no need of a parang unless you want to pose with it at the top, just one straight path to the top... If it takes you more than 30 minutes to get up there, you'll have to admit that you are either a SISSY or a WUSS, Tabur Hills are not for you. Seriously. Trust me, its that simple. The crowd was enormous up there because the peak could be easily accessed. After arriving at the first peak, Frog pull out his canvas and painting equipments and start painting, I ran for the second and third peaks. I only get to know that YY brought a cake all the way up here to celebrate my b'day upon regrouping with the group. Celebrating my birthday on the peak of Broga hill, how awsome is that? I was later assigned a dumb ass task of passing a piece of cake to every one on the peak. Hahahaha, Dumb ass shy killing training~!

"Hey, my name is Sum and today is my birthday. Would you like to have a piece of cake then?" Random chicks feeding me my cake, epic moment of life. Heheheh... Now touch my awsome button.

In the end, Broga is just so so... is the people up there that made the trip awsome. Oh wait! I totally forgot about him... Oh god...

This is the HAMSTER GOD, it is rumored that if you pray to him and touch his balls, your balls will grow bigger... Go touch it, you know that you want to. Good night folks.

Lepok Falls

2009-08-03T21:57:00.010+08:00

Lepok falls was located 15 km north of Ulu Langat, near Kg Pangsun... somewhere slightly off Cheras. If you appear to own a GPS, here are the coordinates: N03° 15.03' E101° 51.94'. As usual, we gathered and took breakfast at Devis... A 24/7 mamak 2 minutes away from Frog's place before daybreak. Lepok was great, just that u need to track uphills pass a region of Durian orchards and bamboo forest which is like 4 km... Keep your eyes open for free durians and try not to get hit by one.

The track is quite clean, don't take the sidetracks or else you will end up in the middle of nowhere... If you happen to see this tree, you will erm... have to do a 15 minute back track. Do bring along your harpoon gun if you happen to have one because you get to spear some fish there. Remember to bring some whiskey to heat you and your buddies up a little bit, the water can fucking freeze your balls. If you want to get the top of the falls, you better be careful. One wrong step might be fatal.

From what i learned from my failure last Tuesday on Tabur, NEVER leave home without this amazing babe. If you love adventure, hiking and tracking a lot, do not hesitate to get one of these... Especially people that prefer to hike/ track with flip flops.

Pisang Falls

2009-07-20T16:03:00.014+08:00

Heh... Pisang Falls... Henry and I make our way to Frog's place around 6.00 am, and we left his place around 7.00 am. Like i mentioned on my last post, we are going up in a small group that day. Frog's GPRS is trying to be an ASS that morning, trying everything she could to have all 4 of us killed by leading us off the right track and drive down a cliff... Oh Gosh... Sky Net must have corrupted the GPS and one of us must be John Connor's best Resistance fighters... Moron GPS...
GPRS: "Recalculating... Please make a U turn... Recalculating... Please make a sharp right turn... Recalculating... Please turn right then turn right..."

Me doing "X-marks-the-spot" far right.

Nature lovers and adventurers must take a trip here. You get to encounter tons of small creatures. We have to walk through a long and dark tunnel in order to get to the marshes, this is where the torch lights came into play... Seriously, you really don't want to step on a harmless frog or something else you really don't want to land your feet on... Snakes or centipedes.

This is something you MUST do at Pisang Falls. ~~And Leeches from upstream will land on you~~. It's a must for couples to do this. Awsome-awsome picture! Oh well... makes me want to get a girl badly. D: *desperate*

Some bumi poets we came across on our way home. Alright... Thats all about Pisang Falls... Awsome night people.

Bon Odori X Pisang Falls

2009-07-19T22:37:00.012+08:00

Pretty glad that i can make it to the Bon Odori after i'm done with my work stuff. Seriously... the haze killed the festival... Besides that I'm also realized that i need a lens with better aperture... maybe at least a F 2.8 lens... So Bloody Sick of the lame 1600 ISO which generates one hell lot of noise. Alright... Less text... More pictures. Here are some Japanese wanabies over at the Bon Odori.

Took 4 hours of sleep and move on to Pisang Falls with Frog. Pisang Falls is located in Gombak... Route 68, few kilos off the old road up to Genting Highlands.
Today's group was pretty small i must say... Frog, Carol, Henry and me. Well... This was my first trip up there, and i think that IT WAS AWSOME. You have to make a run up there if you love adventure. Water up there was Balls Freezing cold! We have to track through a marsh in order to get to the falls. Bloody tired now... Will continue tomorrow. G Night folks!

Friday!

2009-07-17T22:37:00.009+08:00

Woot! Today is a Friday! I took a break from web stuff and... ~~Work on my Transformers~~ Erm... Wash my car!
Never imagined a Nissan Sunny would look so great. Imo... the only thing lack is a blue sky with awsome clouds. Alright... Everybody's favorite Decepticons with a new paint job. Starscream can has gatling gun. Prime right out of the box. Damn... some of the red paint is already chip off right out of the box. T_T This is prime with a new paint job... Lousy lighting... Chopped off his extra long middle toe and repainted his gray parts with silver.

Decepticons

2009-07-08T21:32:00.008+08:00

Well, this is the 2nd week of the bloody legends class transformers toy thingy from petronas. I never liked Petronas and their bloody pyramid scheme. The only reason i go for Them is because of the toys. This week featuring our beloved Decepticon leader Megatron and his sidekick Starscream. "Even in death i'm still the leader of Decepticons!!!"
I'm quite happy with Megatron, lots of articulated joints, a fair amount of details and a cool transforming mechanism. A quick lining and paint job will do. I would be kinda busy this 2 weeks... Will start working on the mods when I'm free again.

This is our beloved Megatron right out of the box

As for Starscream... Hmmm... I'm not too happy about him...

Balls at the wing tips....

Legs not being able to fit properly under the Air intakes...

Crooked arms... And his gatling gun missing...

And I don't think I'm happy about how Ha$bro hide his arms in his F-22 mode. Here is Starscream dismembered so that I can ~~Suck every tiny bit of leftover energon from his stinking husk~~ work on him when i'm done with my stuff.
Would be working on a Transformable version of Devastator mod and have the mod pieces available for every transformers fan out there that wish to have each of his parts capable of transforming into a standalone Decepticon.

Hdr X bumblebee

2009-06-28T20:18:00.002+08:00

Whee, i just got my Transformers 2 action figure from petronas via a friend yesterday night. I was happy but somehow felt slightly disappointed due to the lack of "effort" by hasbro. Just now, I decided took a short break from spriting to jazz up my newly aquired autobot a bit. Besides patching up bumblebee, I was toying around with HDR at the same time.

Bumblebee right out of the box

Dismembered to make paint jobs easier

Stuff i used to jazz up bumblebee

Tada~ Yup, I'm pretty happy how he turned out in the end. Good night folks.

Reanimated 3

2009-06-27T20:18:00.003+08:00

Last night was a rough night for me (and all of my neighbors i believe), as our beloved KTM was maintaining their tracks from 2am till 4:30 am. I have to agree with the fact that Henry is quite gifted in terms of scripting and programing... he manage to pull off a beta version of the map editor in less than 2 days from scratch! Besides that, the map editor of generating or read from existing map files which is pretty cool. Well, we r planing to have the engine and map editor to be released to the public after we're done with it. Hope that this would save your game design assignment's asses.

As for me, I didn't made too much progress... Just a better set of sprite tiles.

Reanimated 2

2009-06-23T18:33:00.003+08:00

After one week of brain storming with Henry (aka. Fat-Wednesday), we are able to come out with some rough concepts and the first part of the game engine functioning properly. You may play around with the functioning first part of the engine here.

Besides that, I've picked up pixel art 3 days ago. We decide to do our own game sprites to avoid unwanted trouble with Nin10doh. Alright, that's all for now.

Reanimated

2009-06-16T18:17:00.004+08:00

After ages being not productive at all, I finally get to set something into motion again. Its an honor being able to work with Henry on something home-brew again. We don't have a proper name for the project yet, so i'm just calling it "Red" for now. Well, red is actually a remake of Pokemon Red we used to play on Game boys ages ago. I'm still keeping my game boy and the pokemon game boy disk or what-ever-it-is-called. Unlike the recently released pokemon fire red by Nin10doh, We are actually planning more tactical game mechanics (besides having blood and gore) and in-depth story telling.

Red would be a browser based rpg. Do tell me that what aspects do you think the original Red version lacks and should be included.

Pushing Forward

2009-05-12T01:16:00.005+08:00

Well, the sunrise from the peak of Bukit Tabur is as awsome as always. It's my fourth hike up here, and watching sunrise up there is still awsome-awsome. Dg seems to be very happy reuniting with his Sony that he tried to slice off his own *gulp* well... Erm... penis with my dagger. Oh noes...

That's it for today i guess... More about the trip here at DG's blog. Good night folks.

Chilling at Chiling

2009-04-06T12:38:00.011+08:00

Trust me, Chiling Falls are made of Awsome-Awsomeness. We gathered at Taman Tun around 5 am and leave for Chiling around 6am. Damn... I get to know i have to drive during the last minute. Besides the scratch on my leg, everything else was great. Bloody hell, missed a step at the end of the trip coz i'm too sleepy... Argh...

Well... Erm... It took us around 1 and a half hours to arrive at Chiling from Taman Tun. The drive there was pretty darn easy... We got there early enough to claim the "kings of the road" title for ourselves. While i'm driving ~~Against Traffic~~ like an American, Frog drives like a crazy person.

Asses being asses... LOL! Do not bath here when it rains >.>

I bloody hate river crossing because I'm too tiny... I get Balls-freeze every time we cross a river. Whoops, that's all I have and... Erm... MOAR-PICTURES-HERE

From Tabur with Love

2009-02-15T16:49:00.015+08:00

Whoa... First time hiking with Froggie and his gang... Today's hikers consist of Linus, Zhi Leng, Zhi Hui, Me and Stephanie. We left Taman Tun for Bukit Tabur around 5 am. After one hell lot of hiking and tracking we made it to the top before sunrise.

Today's hikers, me, Linus, Zhi Hui, Zhi Leng and Stephanie.

-Please be careful and consider safety as utmost importance, this is never meant to be a playground
-2 ways to go down the cliff, 1st is by rope and the 2nd is trek right down the slope.
-Be reminded that it's a 100 to 150 meter fall off the vertical cliff if you let loose your grip on the rope if you use the 1st way.
-3 serious accidents have happened at this dangerous spot, victims suffered broken ribs, punctured lungs, broken hipbones, ankles and 6-8 inches cuts.
-Please help each other to be careful, Do not Litter while enjoying yourself on Bukit Tabur.
-For more info go to thetrekkers.blogspot.com

Alright... That's all for today.

Back on my Feet

2009-02-12T22:24:00.006+08:00

Well, Chinese New Year is finally over... It's time for me to get back on my feet to do something. Before ~~showing off~~ sharing bits of my new massive animation project, here are some pics taken during the AML Klang trip. Enjoy.
哇... 年又过完了, 懒完就要站回起来做一些东西了. 在还没开始一个新的个人动画工程之前, 让我先把过年其间拍的照片放上来.

Dukes of AML 08/09~

AML's GODS OF GAMBLES!!!

Well, besides tons of gambling, what else happened during the Klang-Kajang trip?

Traffic jam...

House to house visiting...

Finger of Death...

Haunted...

Satay!!!

Walk like hell...

Tons of slumber...

Now, some sneek peek on my latest project.

Untitled Project.

2009-01-23T02:27:00.004+08:00

It's finally on YouTiup (你吹)!!!

Well, i know it's kinda short... And... i also know that it's kinda crappy in all the ways... Erm... Good night guys.

Finish the Fight.

2009-01-18T16:44:00.012+08:00

The strength of steel is nothing compared to the human will. Whoa~!!! 5 months of blood sweat and tears had finally came to an end. Looks like I'm not me if i don't screw something up during the last minute. To be honest, I didn't shed a tear yesterday because I'm kinda like all dried up... didn't slept for 4 days and didn't drink enough water. Seriously dudes,
I fucking miss all you AMLers. Last update on my stop-motion animation project progress.

Okay, i'll share some of my tips while shooting a stopmo ani. Quite helpful if you will be shooting your own stop-motion in the future. If you accidentally tilt your camera while shooting your stop motion, you don't actually have to panic or retake the whole scene if you can't get the right angle again. During the post production stage of your movie, add a little camera off focus tilt to cover up your flaws.

Secondly, always include a "tie down" mechanism to your puppets. Trust me, the tie down really saved my ass when i animate my puppets. I have lots of problems animating my bull coz I don't have a tie down mechanism installed to it's hoofs.
Third, Work Hard.
Fourth, Work Hard.
Fifth, Work Hard. (quote: Ah-Ray) That's right. every bit of r&d counts.

Well, I think this would be my LAST TIME soloing an animation project. Whoa... Dudes, it's hell soloing something over ambitious. Thank you Xion for some last minute rotorscoping. Finally, I would like to thank all you guys out there again for all your wonderful support.

Northern Sky Common Wyvern

2009-01-06T03:47:00.009+08:00

The Northern Sky Common Wyverns are very common among the Northern region of Boltic. The Wyverns has a body length of 15-18 meters, a wingspan of 16-20 meters, and a mass of 4000–6500 kilo grams; females are about 15 percent larger than males. Compared to their Southern Sky cousins, Northern Sky Common Wyverns have longer and more evenly broad wings, thus enabling a more direct and faster flight. They also have extremely keen eyesight which enables them to spot potential prey from a very long distance. Besides that, the Northern Sky Common Wyverns are capable of delivering 5000 pounds of brute strength with their powerful jaws, and the pressure measured at the tip of its fangs is 30,000 pounds per square inch; more than enough to break the toughest armor, shells or bones. Their capability of taking flight even in the worst weather earns them the primary workhorses among the Northern Sky Army. As far as taming goes, Northern Sky Common Wyverns has proven to be the most compatible for dragoons and just in general. Wyvern in the making! Pics! Enjoy!

Ready, Steady, Go!

2008-12-31T16:48:00.012+08:00

If you are reading this post right now, I would like to say: "Congratulations, you had survived ~~a Japanese game show!~~ year 2008!!! Are you ready for year 2009?"

Well... Before saying goodbye to year 2008, I did myself a favor, I settle down in front of my brother's pc and asked myself how do I personally feel about the year 2008. Dudes, seriously... join me, spare yourself 20 minutes in front of your computer to blog about all the good and bad things that happened to you during the year 2008, and finally share your new year resolutions.

As mentioned by Linus in his post, I have to agree that it's always nice to have some time to sit back and reflect before kicking off again. Heh... year 2008 was a very rough year for me... and I think I acted like an ass throughout the whole year... and I'm very sorry about it dudes. I owe DG an apology and a big thanks. Thanks and sorry dude.

Well, here are the best things that happened to me during the year 2008:

- I got my first Daily Deviation on DeviantArt.com. =D

- I really enjoy shooting the crap out of each other with Amlers during Sept 12

- Kim, DG, Munster and Darren got me hooked into photography.

- It was my pleasure meeting Linus, Dennis and their ~~dumb ass~~ gang. Thank you guys for opening my eyes to videography.

- Dec 30 was one of the best day in my life. Get to enjoy watching good friends getting their crappiest christmas gifts in their lifetime. (cooking oil!!! WTF!!!)

And, the worst things that happened to me during the year 2008:

- The beginning of year 2008 is already very rough for me. Unfinished business brought over from the year 2007 are still haunting me till this moment.

- My pc blew up countless times throughout the whole year which annoys me a lot.

- My relationship with YY stays as complicated and confusing as before, until i can't tell what are we now. My focus would still shatters when I think of her sometimes. I missed her... First cut is the deepest. I think I lost YY :*(

- I don't remember being productive for the whole year. I didn't manage to dish out any new flash techniques or movies.

As for the year 2009... here are my new year resolutions:

- The first thing i would like to do during the year 2009 would be to beef up myself and quit being a looser.

- Get myself an intermediate photography set (D90, SB-800, Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX VR II, Benro carbon tripod with ball head)

- Get a Wacom or bamboo

- Renew my faith in life, get a girl. (or get her back... i miss her)

- Get more money.

~~- Graduate college the American Pie way~~ (hopefully)

Happy New Year people!

Saturday Mom

2008-11-03T19:38:00.009+08:00

It has been ages since i last post something on this dead blog of mine... hasn't been raining for like few weeks. Last Saturday, I decided to take a day off freelancing to help my mom out with her new found hobby. Ahem... Adducting wild puppies from their moms, bring them home and give them an anti flea bath... AND I AM THE RUNNER! bah... crap... have to run 3 pups home while being chased by their mom. It was dangerous and fun at the same time. Right, less crap. Pictures!

Woot, the pups ran for their mom's nipples as soon as i set them free.
*Note: Something is coming out of her ass*

Moment's Peace

2008-09-12T01:47:00.006+08:00

Exam is finally over... We had fun like there is no tomorrow. Heh... Right after exam, we went ... Urm... yeah... right... Skirmish (aka paint ball). I was killed 3 times (technically 4) today, and manage to gun down 5 person. Awww, my lap hurts... And... swim at Steve's place right after that... Then walk around without undies!!! XD

Ouchieness.
Ouch... Sorry Dylan, but I did that. Muahahahhaha!
Fuyoh~!! Fish showing off his "muscular" body. Ahem...

I'm not in this pic coz i have to hold the camera D: *sob*

Test Render

2008-09-10T17:43:00.003+08:00

RMS-154 Barzam (head only). Basic 3 point lighting. Just a simple test render... not much of an update, just to let you guys know that I'm still alive. I prefer mass produced mono-eye mechs than "Insanely-Overpowered-White-Yellow-Blue-Red"s. I really don't like the fact that "Insanely-Overpowered-White-Yellow-Blue-Red"s could absorb a direct hit from a 120mm DU round(Depleted Uranium) or APFSDS round(Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot). IMO IRL, a GAU-8/A loaded with 30mm DU rounds could turn "Insanely-Overpowered-White-Yellow-Blue-Red"s into a pile of smoking scrap metal in a matter of seconds.

What are you fighting for?

2008-08-27T10:32:00.006+08:00

Heh... It's been raining 6 days in a role. Yesterday night was a damn cold night, ~~getting my ass kicked by CnC3 KW hard AIs. WTF?!?!~~ LOL!!!
yesterday noon, right after the rain.
yesterday midnight, it rained again... ~~Technically its 3 am this morning.~~

Enough of crap, have you ever asked yourself what are you actually fighting for and why? Are you aware of what are you currently doing and ready to face the consequences? Your life is the result of your your own decision. And my life is a mess because I took too many wrong turns... And I'm facing the consequences now. Well, always know your limits and don't push yourself forward too much at a time.

Wow... It has been raining 3 days in a role! This pic was taken moments right before the sky pours down yesterday. Pretty nice sky without haze. Boy, I fucking miss those blue skies.

Never thought that it would earn me a daily deviation! (CC)

Tools of Trade

2008-08-13T22:17:00.009+08:00

Some random pics i used in my assignment. Crappy sense of photography i have.

Some of you guys might want to know, what is it like living life as a loner? It depends on the situation, seriously. Most of the time i prefer working alone because I feel that I have more sense of control over my own work. After all, you are the producer, director, the crew and the actor. You can go all-out on your stuff because you have nothing to loose when you are a loner.

Heh, most of the times I hate my self for being a loner. You don't care for anybody and nobody cares for you. People only come to you when they need your help, you just fade away when you are not need anymore. Sometimes I really hope that there would be a place or at least someone I can turn to when I'm down. God damnit... Fucking tired of life.

Renewed Faith

2008-01-16T22:02:00.000+08:00

I've started this blog after being inspired by a few friends of mine. I was thinking that it would be cool if I have my own blog, I could use it as my portfolio too!

So, here I am, writing this first post of my blog. Back before I've started this blog, I mean back at 2007; I'm very proud and arrogant of my personal achievements. On December 2007, everything changed. It was a disaster caused by my own arrogant attitude. I felt that it was like the end of my world until i read one of my old friend's blog. For a moment I thought that we are quite similar in some ways. So, I've started this blog hoping that I could change my attitude and find my path again. Finally, i would like to use this opportunity thank my old friend ------ Jor.

在开始这个部落格之前,我一向以为我很强.所以我也因此对我自己的成就自大傲慢起来,开始目中无人;结果2007年尾我一败涂地.当时的我可说是很失落,觉得自己很无能.我伤心了一段日子直到我看了我一位老朋友的部落格.我觉得我们很相似,所以我收拾好心情开始了这个部落格.希望能通过这个部落格纠正我之前所犯的错误.最后,我要在这里谢谢我这位老友 ------ Jor.
