Prawns

For the past 3 days...i've been continuously gone prawning...or prawn fishing...LOL! Seems like its a trend...apart from being a lil costly...this activity is really addicting and fun, plus u dun have to wait as long to see results. Caught this hobby from Mr Wu...lol.. and have been prawning for a couple of days... and even got our own equipments for prawning...*to look more pro... After a few days of prawning, we have finally grasp most of the techniques and stuffs to take note of. At the cost of burning my pocket of course. And my brother being grilled at for going home only early in the morning.

After catching the prawns, we cooked it ourselves to consume. And yes, with my brother's cooking skills combined with Med's mum... its like a banquet...seems like nothing much...but the dishes is enough to let me eat for 2 days. They are really good. After waiting for so long, i finally acquired my new left hand at $569, got it at Funan Center. Superbly stylo and shiok...haven't had the chance to try it out yet...as i was busy prawning.

Had a special favour from brother the other day to make a pop-up card. Although the whole thing was taken from a template...but making it proves to be a killer...zzz...

This few days is gonna be rather busy for me i guess... With christmas ard the corner... Went present hunting with brother today for the gift exchange later... After that we shopped ard and i bought a painter magazine at Kino. Rushed down to Raffles to meet Ricky for his man's talk...LOL. Its been awhile since we man's talk i think... it was kinda fun...and den Ling came... The chill out session was fun and hilarious...and expensive T___T LOL. Aniwae...it was good...its always fun to hang out wif this 2 ex narnia lords...LOL. As i was preparing to go home... Baykan called....LOL. Jitao tio summon... in the end...he suggested we go Bishan's prawn fishing....And well...jus reach home...today, we were more good at fishin the prawns...so it was more fun...but it had to rain..so it was kinda muddy.

Paint in the Ass~~

I'm not really a painting dude... and to be honest...i kinda hate painting, or coloring... i guess cos i'm very weak at colors. Most of the drawings i used to do were all black and white, pencils, pen or marker. Even with marker, my coloring is still pretty bad. :/ After spending near to 2 weeks of scouring for tutorials and books, i'm finally roughly on the right track...i think... :P Painter is a program that requires 80% personal skills and 20% porgram support.... meaning that alot of the finished work depends alot on the skills of the artist being able to do traditional art or not. Sigh...that is like killer for me...cos i'm only familiar with pencil shading, pen shading and inking etc...

After spending near to half a day trying to paint a potrait...i'm almost giving up...LOL! Worse part is, the image is pre-drawn...and i'm following a tutorial...Sigh...its really hard. Well, at least i can save on the washing of palettes and brushes. LOL! Well, hope this goes some where...
Having slacked for 2 weeks, and looking for materials "ocassionally"... its almost the end of my holidays. Hope i can at least accomplish something before this holiday ends.

Been playing Prince of Persia 08, its pretty fun, jus tt it has no link to the previous series of this game title. The gameplay is somewat similar, but combat wise is very idiot proof. The main objective of the game is more of a doing stunts and getting to difficult places with the ability of the character to acquire orbs rather than fightin monsters. In short, its like a super mario 3d complex...LOL! But its still fun and challenging to play if we embrace the new style of gameplay. i would rate it a 9/10. Woot~~ GTA4 for pc was a disappointment...cos i think my pc is unable to support the graphics and gameplay... Call of Duty 4 is really fun, simulating real-time warfare, playing it is like i'm in a real war time enviroment...

Apart from games, i guess i spent some time looking for some ebooks like 卫斯里 by 倪匡. A series of novel that i used to read during my poly times... its basically a series of sci-fi novel revolving around this dude called Wisely. I'm sure most of us would be familiar with this dude, having so many serialisation of this novel. Well, i still prefer reading it from the novel though...cos most of the serialisation is pretty crap... :P The novel had alot of really interesting scientific assumption that we can see in some of the sci-fi movie nowadays... I found alot of e-comics as well, most of them i wanted to buy long ago but could no longer get hold of...guess i would have to jus read them electronically.

I guess, i've been on a Movie rampage recently...watching up to 3 movies in a roll in a week...LOL! The day the earth stood still was good....nothing special...but good enuff for me...i really like the way they brought out the movie. The concept of a bio-space suit is really interesting as well, afterall most of the time, we think of the suit as fabrics or mechanical suits. As usual, Keanu Reeve is super suave and cool....woot...The whole show, kinda mocks humanity, showing human thinking that they're all powerful with their toys. But how it was all nothing in front of the more superior race.

After that i watched IP MAN, omg...its friggin good. Being a martial art craze dude... i've read about alot of different chinese martial art... especially those that are more uncommon...Being a fan of Bruce Lee, i've actually seen Ip Man's picture alot of times...jus that i din know it was him...LOL. Most of Bruce Lee's books that demonstrates certain moves have Ip Man in them. This show really showed alot of good moves and fight scene. No stupid bullet time...no gimmicks. At least to me, i was kept at the edge of my seat thru-out the show. And yes i would definitely watch it again....A side note, for some people who dunno who the japanese general is, he's the dude who starred in GTO with Takashi Sorimachi as one of his student. The last show, which i watched yesterday, Yes Man was really funny and heart warming as well.... nothing much can be say for this show, jus that you really have to watch it to laugh ur ass off.... LOL.

Weekend outing~~ (Super long post)

Recently haven been blogging much... For the past few days had been busy running around... Med rented a car, and i became an Ahmad, chauffeuring her around singapore to take pictures for her magazine. Not sure if they're gonna be of much use, but we did it aniwae and it was really fun. We got the car on Friday morning and returned it on Saturday night. The couple who rented the car to us were really friendly and nice. Maybe we would rent it again from them again.

It has been a couple of years since i drove a manual car, so i was kinda rusty at first and the car went dead a couple of times. LOL! But other than that, i still feel that manual is more fun to drive den an auto. There's more interaction with the machine. We ate breakfast at bedok interchange after getting the car, and went to Ubi to get Med's graphic card replaced. After that, we head over to punggol's supposingly haunted house to take some pictures. Surprisingly, its just behind punggol mrt. zzz... My impression was it was supposed to be hidden... i once saw a photographer's picture of this house. it was beautiful...but we couldn't really get nice views.... cos it was raining the nite before and the whole area is mud pool... We did a few shots and gave up... ended up playing with the camera...LOL! (We did the 世界那么大thingy...lolol...

After punggol, my whole white pants was covered in mud...i always wear that pants at the wrong occassion. Went back to get a changed of clothes since we're nearby. And headed down to Bugis to get some errands done. After that, we went to esplanade to take some photos. It has been awhile since i've been to esplanade, and i was kinda surprised to see alot of balls in the sea...and so i took pictures of them...LOL, i'm kinda becoming a swakoo.... The rest of the day, we met up with Gary and went to Pasir Ris park with the doggies for a walk... Meanwhile i went over to fetch brother for dinner but we ended up buying tim sum and watched little nonya at Med's place. We decided to grab supper at the airport and went over to terminal 3 to take a look. Since it was built, i never really went there before, so it was the first time there, its really crowded to my surprise...even when its 12 at night... We chilled at TCC and we slack ard til 4am in the morning fishing at prawn farm at pasir ris farmway 3 with Baykan and wife. Med's eye got kinda sore and we had to leave, guess she din have enuff sleep the night before.

Sunday was rather peaceful, originally intended to go to Sentosa with the doggies to let them swim but Med's eyes proved to be too sore to do so...Ended up having to wait for her to rest til noon and we met up with Gary to see puppies at the petfarm again. We had dinner at Din tai fung with Med treatin me and returned the car to the owner at airport terminal 1. After returning the car, we went to terminal 2 for tea to chill out and took bus home. During the trip home, we got really sian...cos havin to travel in bus and havin a car...is really v different...LOL. The 2 days proved to be too tiring for me...so i was like low batt for 2 days...

Today finally received my DMC toys..and Med's christmas present arrived as well. But i guess i'll leave it to Med to upload on her blog. :>

The old house behind Punggol Mrt Station. Supposingly haunted.

An image of the mrt track Med took. We thought the angle was rather

interesting, with the drain as the center line.

LOL! Act cute....As we were walking back to the car I decided

to do the 世界那么大 shit....

LOL! Med decided to play along as well.

I complained that we never really take pictures before...so here's

our first...With my weird smile.... the sun's too strong...zzz

2nd~~ its still too strong....i'm going blind....

Too much of a bird eye view...we decided to go for a down to up

view....LOL!

I got bored and took an image from Shaw tower's carpark.

Lucky us, that day it din really rain, and the sky was fairly

cloudy.

We walked from Shaw towers to Esplanade...and there was this

path that was surrounded by bushes....this is right beside Suntec.

As we approach our exit...walking over to the War Memorial...

There was a streak of smoke...cutting across the memorial.

The weather was too hot and i got angry and started smashing the

glass along the walkway.

Med tried to finish my job...LOL!

Finally en route to Esplanade thru the underpass....

The bolas we saw at the singapore river...no idea wat's tt but

:/ who cares as long as it does not explode.... LOL

My new keychain i got from Urban Concept at terminal 2.

Yes, i'm really a crazy KR fan.

My DMC figurines are finally here....wheee....Luckily it arrived

safely... T_T

Style of my own...

Recently, haven't been blogging much...i finally revert my layout back to a normal and more comfortable one. I have been busy doing some self research and some drawings... and kinda determined my goal for the moment... Was browsing thru deviantart the other day and i saw some works by this person called Artgerm. He created this character called Miss Pepper and have a book released based on artworks submitted thru deviantart. He's a singaporean and also have a design firm named Imaginary Friend's Studios. Their scope of works are generally what i've been wanting to do... The magazine by this company is called Imagine, but its too expensive, so i think i might not be getting it anytime soon. Apparently, Cuson's work has been featured in this magazine as a guest artist as well. Arggh...how i wish i can be in their book!! LOL. (Gary wud know wat i mean.)

After feeling lost for so long...i finally roughly see... wat my future might be like...if it works well...LOL. Not tt its easy. His works is extremely illustrated and attractive. I've been trying to pick up a new program called Painter and is currently tryin to work on it while i find my touch in drawing again. This skill of mine had become so rigid that, when i hold my pencil, i have no idea wat to draw.... or, maybe...too much to draw... Well, i finally came up wif my own avatar that i'll be using to practice the program on. The dude is kinda rip off...but i guess i'll improve and find my own on the way....if i get too fussy wif the details...i might end up shelving this self assigned project again.

The final sketch is completed a couple of days ago, and i'm really happy with the appearance....wif my trademark rider belt and scarf that i like from kamen rider. Hopefully i can achieve something before this holidays end....Currently studying the mecha style of Hiroyuki Takei who drew Shaman King, and rendering technique of Cuson and Artgerm. I'm very much of a armor mecha dude...Gary wud know, cos he named my work ... Metal Grey series...hope i can convert it into a distinct style of my own...LOL!

Watched Bolt with brother and sister the other day...of cos Med was wif me as well... The initial part was really exciting and the whole storyline was really touching and cool. Really love this animation very much. I hope i'll be posting my new avatar drawing anitime soon if the program learning works well... And, its not really as great as it sounds...its a really simple avatar....

Some funny starwars videos...

Dead...Bye Fenrir....

Went to Ethan's (A pet lodging and farm) today... and we had a bad news... Fenrir was dead.... he died at the third vaccination... Fenrir was supposed to be Med's third dog...A husky-liked chihuahua... She was pretty upset... because she really liked the dog.... I guess we simply dun have the fate to rear it... Sigh. Fenrir should be aprroximately 2months half almost 3 months if he survived... I just felt maybe it was too young to take the third vaccine... According to Ethan's owner... there's this new 9 in 1 stronger vaccine....aniwae... bye fenrir...

Today din feel really energetic to do anithin...so i jus slack thru the day... Yesterday, Med, Med's Mum and i went to Blk 138 area's market to eat this sucky sesame chicken claypot... for dinner... Well, the meal wasn't really the point... There wasn't really much people eating there and most of the shop is closed, apparently there was this group of people sitting behind us. There was 3 guys and 2 girls...and from their bags and attire..i assumed they were from the nearby polytechnic... The shop is owned by an old couple.

As we were eating... from my corner of my eye, i saw the sesame chicken claypot's shop old lady approach that table and were asking one of the guy something, and after being rejected, she walked off. She came back in awhile with two empty cup of ice and coke. I figured she was asking if that dude wanted a drink... because most of the drink stalls were closed, you have to practically walk across half the market to get a drink. She approached the guy again and appear to be offering the drink... The guy rejected the drink rudely, and the mum jus went behind them and sat in front of their stall. The guy proceed to walk over to the table and started behaving rudely and teasing the old lady... as his group of friends started laughing at his teasing behaviour... Wat he did wasn't really funny actually, he was placing the 2 cup in front of the lady and some ice fell off...he took one ice on the table and place it back in the cup and pour the coke into the cup and started sipping thru the straw.

I din comment when i saw it, cos i was pretty pissed at his jitoot behaviour, but well i get piss easily...so i kept quiet...and apparently, Med's mum saw wat happen... And she was saying that dude's behaviour was uncall for... fooling his Mum in front of his fren... We figured the shop was owned by the dude's parent. Well, to this kind of f-king cb~i hope he get his karma soon....Aniwae, he friggin looks like a laogao...

Well, tt's my kaobay post for today i guess....

Recently, brother "forced" me to watch this supposingly funnie anime called Detroit Metal City. Not really sure how old this anime is, but according to him it was very well received by people in Japan. Its a really vulgar anime...and badly drawn toons...but its really funny and lame. I decided to get one of their toys from Kaiyodo....check them out below...

Johannes Krauser II -The main character of the anime and leader of the Death Metal band DMC.

Alexander Jagi. DMC's bassist and a ladies' man

Camus. DMC's drummer.

Debt free...

Finally, after 4 days of slogging at SITEX, i'm debt free... Cleared my 2month old phone bill... It was pretty fun working there, Looking at all sort of people coming to the exhibition... Well, my job was basically to blow up balloons and giving them away. I guess it was extra fun since i was working with my brother... at least i have someone to tok to... We were called the balloon team... and basically when we're deployed... everyone in the expo including the other booths exhibitor will be staring at us, because we're carrying like 20 balloons per hand...yep. Why do we do that? That's because the "balloon booth" is at the end of the expo hall. And we're supposed to be giving out at the entrance. So we'll be like carrying balloon and walking through everyone in the expo...zz... and everyone will be staring at us...zzz...

Throughout the 4 days... i din really see anione that i knew... saw ling and her boyfren... briefly saw Vinsion as well...but he was with a big bunch of frens and my hand is too full and i'm too far to call out to him... Well, tt's about all i saw... There was nothing much at the exhibition actually... i'm jus curious why is everyone flocking to the ehibition...LOL! Maybe cos i'm not interested in getting anithin....Maybe i should tok about my balloon team...basically, the balloon team has a group of 4 pair of guys. Me n my bro... Jiu huan da dao and HSM Crazy dude...we called him jiu huan da dao cos he had 3 ear ring on his ears... which look like those chinese saber with rings on it...and HSM crazy dude would jus be singing HSM songs randomly..LOL, apart from them there were 2 other Fat slack sgt...and 2 other anonymous dudes... Apparently the first 2 group knew each other and were all in army...and from the same camp...i got this job thru my brother thru his camp mate... We're basically paid $80 per day...and we basically do every other stuffs if we're needed...but basic job is to jus give balloons...

Thru-out this 4 days...the 2 sgt were really f-king slack and smokers...basically jus appearing randomly... well...brother was tellin me...its jus a part time job...so nobody really cares.... The balloon booth is actually jus an alley created by one of the booth..and we jus sit down there pumping... The first 2 days were pretty bad..having to pump by hand...cos the electronic pump has fused...and no one wanted to do the pumping and were only giving out the balloons randomly... We got chairs on the third day..and pump was up..so everyone basically jus flocking back, sittin there and pumping and no one really givin them out...LOL! My brother and i jus took the balloons to give out to pass time...and sometimes jus sit in the booth or walk around...

The 2 sgt weren't still that slack...the real slackers were this grp of dudes that were supposed to be in charge of banners and flyers....The only time i saw them were...morning...and when we're leaving...LOL! Superb snaking skills...Apparently at the last day...brother's fren was extremely pissed that they jus went off without helping out at keeping all the stuffs... Well, we got cash and after sitting ard...jus left...there goes 4days...

Yesterday, i went to the NLB to get some books to do some personal research and studies...but ended up only gettin some books...Spent most of my time trying to find books...Well i got wat i wanted....Jus realised that recently NLB has a promotion til Jan 30th...we get to borrow 8-16 books per person...Woot woot...Med got me a keychain for my Christmas...and i really liked it... too broke alr..so we decided to jus go budgetly...haha... Its a sonic the hedgehog keychain...i really like it very much...cos i've always been a fan of sonic the hedgehog...

Left side is the keychain i wanted to get awhile ago, it comes in a set

of four, with sandman, new goblin, venom and spidey...i onli wanted

spidey n venom...but they wun sell in a single one...but yesterday

they had an extra one piece on display...so i grabbed it...Right side is

Med's Christmas present for me...Sonic the hedgehog...super cool....Woot...

My daily pass to work everyday....

That's my brother, carrying a stack of balloons in a single hand.

that's practically wat we did everyday, jus that in 2 hands instead...

This is our balloon booth... sigh...pathetic right...but it is jus

comfortable...these pictures were day 2...without the chairs and electronic

pump...you can see the dude on the left pumping manually....

The first 2 dudes in front is ji huan and HSM siao...the last 2 dudes

is basically the 2 fat sgt...yeap...the slack shitter...At the peak of our

most balloons...we almost filled this whole alley with all the balloons.

I have never seen so much balloons in my entire life...LOL!
