Early Xmas Greeting.

I'll be spending my Xmas in Japan this year. In fact, I always happen to spend it outside in Spore, in Sentosa, Bangkok, JB.. and this time in a really cold place where I can get the chance to see snow perhaps.


There is also a Xmas tree at our office entrance too!!!

Some food for thought. Xmas is also a day for showing love and care for yr love ones and to those less fortunate. From here, I shall end here with a XMAS greeting card..




MERRY XMAS!!! Dun miss me too much char?!! I'll come back with lots of presents for u friends!!

Secret ~ Ayumi Hamasaki's 8th album



Bought her album last Sat. Nowadays her CD comes with a DVD with music videos and making of the clips.

As usual, fancy clothes, wigs, hot dancers but this time, sexier, bolder .. oh yes, alot of "bling bling".
Watch out for her "Jewel" song, I do think the title "Diamonds are the girl's best friends" suits that better.

It comes with a free poster too, so I pasted at my bedroom door...

very nasty thoughts..

I happened to see a person post this message "Hello, pls help me" in one of the forums I've visited. It was a message from a 20+ yr old boy asking for a job in 2D, 3D illustrations. He mentioned that he has just finished NS and without any cert but an O level only. On asking us to visit his blog, what amazed me is how he described himself;

"Very lazy but have passion on digital art, dreaming of one day to rule the world in the media industries meaning pro in animation , 3d and 2d , and also master in photoshop , can do anything with it."

This is pretty contradicting. If you are lazy, how would you have the passion on digital art? You are just building castles in the sky and dreaming of successing without hard work. Honestly, I think you are just a dreamer. In his blog, he kept complaining that he "drew until his eyes pain" when he looked at the screen for a very long time, as if he wants to get some compassionate marks from people. Perhaps, he just wants some kind soul to pat on his back, praise him on what he did or even give him a job.

Probably you would just relate me to the "Elite Girl" saga whom she wrote in her "uncaring" blog, criticising about Derek Wee's opinions and anxieties on reaching 40 yrs old, worrying abt whether he can still keep his job. The poor girl has been unfortunately slapped by people on her personal statement and being treated as arrogant RJCian, elitist.... and those "fans" of hers are posting her bikini pics, G-cuppers all over the internet.

Anyway back to the little's boy's dream abt becoming a successful illustrator. I once had the same "passions" that what he have now, but I worked hard. Yes, if you mentioned, doing free illustrations, comics etc. Time passed and on realising that those were not my strengths, I decided to focus on what I should head for a more satisfactory and beneficial term ie, earning myself a Degree. Passion, yes, it is a great feeling when you are young. But you still got to eat, you still got mouths to feed.

As the saying goes; Know what yr strengths are, dun talk abt yr passions, work on it!!! Last but not least, I wish the boy find his dream job soon.

EXAMS over.


Yar, 3 open book papers and 1 closed book exam.


I had been carrying my 3kg dictionary for 3 days of examinations consecutively. Feeling sore and numb after carrying, need to buy a light-weight version for the next semester perhaps.


How did the exams go if you asked me? Honestly I really dunno. It did appeared pretty smooth throughout and I did attempt all questions. Because mostly are open book, everyone could be copying the same answers from the text. I wasn't sure about the Urban Planning module cos dunno what marks and what standards Belinda will be giving. She is a very weird lady.. appeared to be smiling but she is marking so stingily behind yr back.

Anyway, other than preparing for the Japan trip, i changed my hp for nokia N73. The Carl Zeiss lens of the cam phone is really god-sent, sharp, precised and the phone fits perfectly in my old phone pouch.

Here's some shots from N73. I am still trying out the functions, esp the different lighting modes.



My "Bible" used almost everyday at work



One rainy afternoon after Pro-Com Examinations



Exhibition at URA Gallery, notice the "stars" on the ceiling?



Alfredo Spaghetti I cooked over the weekends, looks like I'm the only one eating....




Casual chess playing

Not forgetting, it has great video capturing functions too!!!
