Something I did a few months back for Animasia’s Doodle 2008. Featuring my family from FaZuu team. This piece is called Flying For FaZuu. (click for full view)

Flying For FaZuu

Before it ended horribly deranged like that, the prelimenary colours was like this.

Prelimenary

After needing it to be adjusted in CMYKWTF, the colours went all wrong and fugly and I just don’t care. WTH…

I think it’s been a while since I manage to lepak with my friends from uni, especially with that idiot Jawa. He’s been bugging me for an outing a few times. Via phone.. via facebook. So the nite of our convo me, Hariz, Jawa, Pachiang, Yen the guy who got the Vice Chancellor award for graduation (Damn hebat dat fellar) decided to hangout. We had dinner at Aimar’s Char Kueh Teow. The yummiest juiciest char kueh teow i have EVER tasted!!! =9 It’s located across the river from my house. in TTDI Jaya, Shah Alam.

…and just now, me, Pachiang, Jawa, Salam, Yen, Aie and Nan went for bowwwwlingggggggggg!!!!! XD Worh it really has been so long since I last bowl.

And you know what, I still suck at it. boo! We went to try our luck at pyramid’s bowling lane but too bad there was just too many people there!! Then we headed to The Summit instead. While waiting for our turn to play (there’s a queing list), I went to this Karaoke box for the first time ever with Salam and Pachiang. Adeih.. felt funny tho haha! next time I think I’ll try and sing too instead of just watch.

Ah~ It’s a fun day today. Too bad Hariz couldn’t join.. =3=

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Dammit lame giler tak blog ahahahahaha gelak lagi. My internet connection got cut off for a few months and I don’t have the mood and urge to go online for the time being. Hmm.. not to mention internet connection is sucky! aiyerh…

Annnyywaaayyysssss….. Yeah I finally graduated from BSc Architecture from UiTM Shah Alam.

me and hariz graduated

Sadly, I’m not working anywhere near architecture field, let alone the building industry. And I don’t farking care what other people want to say about that. boo! My graduation day was on Nov 25th and Hariz’s had his on the next day. O_O; I didn’t manage to go to his since.. I forgot to ask for the day off on that day. T_T and he’s making me feel bad about it day by day wuuu… Ouyeah and he bought me those flowers which I’m holding and he’s holding the one my mum bought.

Congratz! =p

Current Mood: Depressed

First of raya had just pass. This is the first year I’m giving out duit raya to my cousins and siblings. It felt kinda good being able to give out money, even though I don’t earn much. It kinda makes me feel happy seeing their surprised faces when I handed out the green packets. The most priceless moment happens when they say “Thank You”.

=) I’m glad.

Just arrived from Taiping. Will be heading to Seremban tomorrow. I just calculated my expenses for this month. I’m not left with much. I had to pay extra this month for the printer servicing and this domain’s yearly fee. *sigh* I have to cut my lunch and dinner a bit this month too. Thinking of fasting for 2 weeks or so. Yep. Save money and to repay my debt also.

*sigh*

Checked the CF ticket price. Gila. Mahal. And they call themselves the non-profit organization. Sponsorship not enough to cater for free entry? Or atleast RM5~RM7 is still affordable. RM10 is ok. But still a pain in my wallet. =”= Urgh… CF also got inflation? Siao!

Hari ini hari Rabu. Hari Isnin saye tak datang kerja sbb gastrik. Hari Selase datang kerja tapi still rase sakit gastrik. Hari Rabu iaitu hari ini, saya datang kerja juga tapi balik halfday lepas berperang dgn penyakit saya dalam tandas dan terpaksa menyusahkan boss saye dan ketua team saye untuk menghantar saye pulang. akibatnya, kereta kancil saya yang tua tetapi berjasa itu terpaksa ditinggalkan di ofis saya di Jalan Puchong. Ah sedihnya saya.. T_T

On the other side of the note, Burger King has finally opened at the xtreme sports park in Section 13!! Woohoo~~ Cozy atmosphere. Luvin it!

I want my Myvi.. a new PSP.. a new tablet.. change my printer head.. upgrade my computer.. go to Singapore with my family again the end of this year.. Gain more knowledge and skill in animating.. drawing.. whatever…

Last weekend, on Sunday, his parents came over to my house to meet my parents. O_O yah.. it’s the rombongan merisik. I am now wearing a pre-engagement ring. I might be getting engaged after Raye (around November or so) andddd… initially his parents wanted us to get married next February during Chinese New Year… But then,it might be too soon.

ohhhh I am getting married!!

Current Mood: …

hahah lost track of how many days I’ve been working there already. Eversince I’m doing keyframe, (and my internet connection suddenly got cut off) my commitment of writing in my daily experience of work has subdued… *shrugs* But whatdaheck! I love working there and that’s what important now!! Yeahpp!!

Called in sick today.. Didn’t went to work. Huhu.. Supposed to be the day when they’ll be briefing about SS episode 13 today. Hopefully it’ll be postponed to Monday. O_O I don’t wanna miss it… T_T Urgh.. I think my animating skill is improving very slowly. Even by doing a simple 180 degree headturn is a chore. And I can;t even twist the hand with different angle!! aaa the hardest part for me to draw is the hand!! T_______T Haaannndddssssssss………… and angles!! aaaa…. uuuuhhhhh… and making the whole movement not to appear to jaggy and weird.

T__T animating is really not easy…
Especially when u have very little experience and limited drawing skill t(~_~t)

Current Mood: sleepy

Urgh.. Silap besar tdo lambat smlm. T_T  My progress of work was snail-like. I even nap inside the Surau for god knows how long. And I was still sleepy. Uhh… Ok today I will sleep early. 1am!

Finished Haruko Ruhara fanart today at the Mac’s Photoshop. Too bad the USB connection for data transfer is blocked. I can’t upload it. Ah Loong (the boss) saw my drawing and said it was good. (but not good enuff) It’s nice to hear comments from other people other than just “Wah So Good!”. :3 Thanx Ah Loong!

Nothing much happened today. The story of Cave Rangers continues.. haha!

p/s: Wilson is such a joker. Too bad I damn blur. Can’t understand whether he’s making a statement, sarcasm or humoring himself. =___= so sleeeepy!!

Current Mood: sleepy

Woke up damn late today. 8 am. T_T Departed from home at 9 am. Reached work at 9.30 am. O_O Everyone (well not EVERYone but most of them) just settled in their working spaces already. T3T Uhh…

Ah Bee just moved to the ground floor studio today. He used to be the tean leader of the animation department, now it’s Lynling. Our team got called just now into the room. He gave some advices and a little farewell talk (as if he’s going far far away XD. Downstairs onli maa) Ah Bee personally told me that I was seated next to Jien (i think that’s how her name was spelled) because he wants me to have a rough idea and hopefully learn a little bit of something about keyframing. He hopes one day I could do it too.

Wah I was just getting used to doing clean-up and liking it, now I need to learn Keyframe? So fast!! O_O But seeing how Jien work, looks so hard. Clean-up was merely like tracing over… Keyframe means, you’re doing the lines which are to be traced by clean-ups. Uhh… My figures not so good. (especially hands) T_T This would be an opportunity for me to improvise my sketching skills. @w@ Ganbatteh!

I just found out that Carrie’s only 18. O_O I thought she was around the same age as me. Wah so young!! So cute summore. *v*

Current Mood: speechless

Wilson just handed me the staff security card. Uwah so fast you guys gave me? I didn’t expect to get it untill my 3 months of probation ends. OvO Whee now I have my own card I can go in and out of the building easily. No need to worry about no one to open the main gate for me. Uyeah!

Ah Bee asked me and Carrie and LeaLea to move our workstation to the front row. (Facing the blank green wall T_T) I’m now sitting in between LeaLea and Jien (hope I spell her name right). LeaLea is like me, doing cleanup while Jean is doing keyframes. Ah Bee wants me to watch and learn how to do keyframes frm Jien. Wah good!! I love learning new stuff. But just now I see her work, she look so stressed out. Even when Carrie and LeaLea went back home after 9pm, she’s still there! And I went back too, she’s still there!! She said she needs to finish it tonight or else tomorrow more files will come piling up. OAO No wonder people are really stressed working there..

I have two files to finish today actually.. But I didn’t even manage to finish one file. T_T Both files are 10 second scene with LOTS of keyframes to clean-up and two characters each scene. Uh.. tomoro really must finish it. Ganbattehh!!

p/s: So glad I moved place. Now I don’t have to sit next to that weird emo guy anymore. ;p Ah~ jahatnyer~

WII IS HERE!!!! IT’S HERE!!!!!! Animasia studio has just added a new console to the family of recreation room!!! WOOHOOOO!!! I’m excited because I’ve never really played (let alone touch) Nintendo Wii before. Saw Melissa and Steven playing bowling on the Wii Sports. Lulz. Funny yet exciting! Looks really nice. Maybe I’ll try it some day. Uwaahh!!

Oh and Dasimah just told me that the company usually by cakes every month to celebrate birthdays. Just now Kok Lee came back with a strawberry chocolate secret recipe cake! Yummm!! Happy birthday Steven and err.. another guy whom name slips my mind. O_O

Yesterday was punching bag day. Today is Wii and Cake day! XD Wonder what new exciting stuff will come next woohoo!! I’m enjoying myself here in Animasia. :3

p/s: Dasimah just told me the secrets of communicating via iTunes and networking. XD

Day 03 - Thursday

O_O I actually forgot half of what happened yesterday. Anyways, point notes just to take note on progress.

• I finished one and a half scene that Carrie gave me
• Ok I messed up her name again. It’s Carrie @ K-Rie. NOT Karine or Carolyn. XD
• I brought my iPod to work today coz the music on the Mac’s iTunes is… not much of my liking.
• My only female Malay friend, Dasimah just got transfered from 3rd floor to ground floor along with her senior cum supervisor cum task giver, Wan and the rest of the storyboard artists. ;_; I miss Dasimah…
• So I am now sitting beside the Lim Kok Wing intern boy whom his attitude is a little bit weird and it gets weirder by the day.
• I LOVE WORKING HERE!!!! Woohooo~~

Day 04 - Friday

• Animasia’s 3rd Anniversary today. There was a meeting held at the “cinema” room (I think that’s what it’s called) today. Awards were given to the super senior workers for their hard work and some got promoted. Lynling, Han, Colour, Moon, Apai, Fei Chai (forgot his real nick name) and two more whom I coudln’t recall. O_O
• Ah Loong, The Boss, talked to me today and seems very nice. For a boss, he sure acts so cool and laid back with the workers and all ^_^
• Oh and they even asked the newbies to introduce themselves on the stage in front of all the department. @,@
• Ayour from Gempak came over the anniversary event during dinner time. Talked to him. Glad we have a little talk back then hueee.
• Makan-makan was delicious!! First time I join for four days got so many things happen in the company summore. Somehow I really wanna work myself up to work as long as I can here. I find the upper workers takes care of their subordinates quite good. Oh and I heard their going for company holiday this October. OvO wah so nice la! Though.. dunno if I can follow or not since I’m new. =w=
• I HAD FUNNN WORKINGGG!!!! :3
• Oh.. and today balik awal. Boss kasik! XD Whoohoo!!

Current Mood: sleepy

Second day of work, turns out I messed up the name of the girl sitting in front of me. It’s Karine. Not Carolyn. She gave me clean-up work today. Quite the same basic principle as tracing character on my previous exercise BUT.. this time it’s animated. So I have to really trace the movement so that the outcome doesn’t look so cacated. First time doing it, I hentam onli… After replaying the animation, looks sooo cacated. I need to redo/touch-up/clean it tomorrow.

*sigh*

Took me the whole day (9.30 am to 10.15pm) to do a 10 second scene. And that’s just cleaning the HAND of TWO characters. 9_9 Aiyaiyai.. And I made lots of careless mistake which ends up me re-doing the whole frame again… Tomolo better focus!! FOCUSSS!!

On traffic note, I departed from home a little later than yesterday. Went out of Shah Alam at 8 a.m, the morning traffic is slightly congested compared to yesterday (plus it was raining summore). I arrived at work roughly around 9 a.m and the door to the studio department is still not opened until 9.30 a.m. XD *swt* Having this urge to depart slightly later tomorrow too haha!!

p/s: I am still messing up the keyboard shortcut when using my PC…Why the difference in button positioning of command between Mac and PC. *_*
