Canon Pixma Memory Drives Trexi

Had a sudden attack of sore eye again, work up wrongly? slept too late? room too dirty? not too sure... Had to get an mc and new eye drops from clinic, cost me $25~~ Previous eye drop expired alr, so i had no choice, the eye drop is really good, apart from the whopping $15 per bottle. Size is jus like those normal eye drops. Sigh~~

Feeling pretty embarassed as boss told me that i shud tk care of myself and not take so much offs~~ zzz... all thanks to Lasalle's superb management... i had to keep taking off for the Lasalle show 09. And i'm like 240% sure tt imagin comm is not even the main lead... or maybe not even a side dish. Med was askin me why is our exhibit in a long and thin format,

"So that all can line up in a straight line and stuff at one side of the cold corner of the wall ma~~"

LOL! I missed out the poster design of the Trexi competition, due to my absence yesterday~ but i got to design a pair of Canon Pixma Memory drives trexi!! It's the 3inch version, jus that the body contains a thumb drive. I doubt i'm allowed to post the image, so well, i guess i'll have to wait til its manufactured~~ Although my deadline was by 6~ i had to do it til 715 and even bringin it home to do... but~ no stress at all...cos its like super fun...

the brief was~~

Guy trexi has to be cool n funky
Gal trexi has to be cute and have long lashes
Vibrant colors and colorful
Pixma logo in front and Canon at the back
Design scheme like Tron~(Its like those circuit board thingy)
Break the shape of the round head

Well, the tron part was like crazy...cos i love doing circuit circuit thingy~~ my frens wud know...digital clock la...computer la...circuits la...robots la.... so it was still manageable... hopefully boss likes the design....for more info about my company check out their site

Play is having a 2nd series of Trexi as well, can sit down, according to my colleague~~ i tot maybe they shud have female version of Trexis though~~ Trying to design a female is pretty tough on a normal Trexi

Current Fayleng: Pretty shiok...cos i finished a pair of design in half a day. including design research.

Dragonball...Some people did it even better den the movie~ LOL

Sibay Gaolat ~~ Soul Searching Archives

i've decided to create a separate site for my works, so as of now, this blog will solely talk about my boring daily life and some interesting toys or things that i see. I've made my first entry a few minutes ago. The new site is www.sibay-gaolat.blogspot.com. Please help support support~~

Work work work....

Its been 2 days since i was at Play imaginative~~ its kinda amazing and unbelievable what i do there~~ yes its only 2 days and its like a dream come true. First day was alrite, doing some color correction for Tofu keychains~ apparently the manufacturer got the color all dull~~ so i'm supposed to pantone it to a correct color. That itself took me like 3/4 day~~ den it was the relay out of a print ad for the up coming Comic convention that's meant for various magazines... Had to take 2 days off due to degree interview and exhibition panels submissions~~

Today was kinda fun as well, had an unexpected job from boss~~ Logo design for a cafe!! LOL. Maybe i'm a swakoo who nv work in design firm b4...so it was kinda unbelievable... having fun when you're workin... Was kinda stressed at first, cos i was afraid i wasn't up to the standard...but well...guess it was a close shave~~

Was feeling rather down a couple of days ago, i guess wat i heard during my interview wasn't really encouraging. Although i alr know wat to expect, but well...it still hits hard... Was glad that a couple of fren gave me concerns when they saw my emotiboy msn nick~~LOL! Had an unexpected help from a friend whom i din really know well...lol~ that's Michelle~~my classmate las year, we dun really talk much~ but most of my fren is aware of her ability~~ well upon talking to her and all~~ i finally have a rough idea wat i cud maybe do~~

I've decided to start a sketchbook exchange with Med~~ naming the book as Maze~~迷宫.

"cos maze is like gg different direction, we draw n think different ma, everyday think different, so like drawing in a maze lor"

Apart from that, i've decided to create a separate creative blog from this as well, to act as my online portfolio~ digital drawing...traditional or watever... i guess maybe that'll help push me to do more works~ and i guess i'll be implementing some personal projects for this 3 months as well... how far or how well it would go~~ i guess i'll jus have to start tryin and stop thinking~~
I guess all along i had a lot of very inspiring ppl, jus tt i din take time to notice~~ well, looking at Rayz blog was an eye-opener....

Well...its kinda funnie lookin bak at my blog post...been mentioning it alot...but din really do anithin much~~ guess my resolution for this year...is to fulfil wat i set out to do today....i'll uploading my sketches in time i guess. :)

Current Fayleng: Feeling excited and motivated....

Sway Combo...

Sigh, jus got my new phone today...decided to jus grab the Samsung Pixon...the xiao ding dang phone instead of F480...cos of the camera...not sure if its good or bad...but zzz...i got it alr....

Was trying to transfer my updated numbers to my sim card, but deleted the updated numbers on my phone instead....tmd sway dao bao.....den as i was painting on Painter...suddenly crash...wasting my 45mins of color adjusting and paintings... so now a bit sian alr...dun feel like doing anithin alr...

Went to Tampines 1 for dinner today at Kimgary today. Well, apparently people thought that its gonna be only opened for a week or something. Cos the crowd is like, if u go there n walk for 5mins u get 500 million dollars. Well, the crowd is still crazy... and we had to queue for kimgary. Something happened as we were on the queue.... the BBQ chicken shop beside Kimgary suddenly had one representative to go n tiu the Kimgary manager. Because the queue is blocking his door. I tot, if your food is good...even if u no door, ppl oso will dig a door in.... aniwae, i felt that the architecture of Tampines is pretty bad. Apparently human traffic flow wasn't taken into consideration.

They have a bloody big pool at the basement, in exchange for people having to squeeze along the mini pathway to walk across. No seats oso. They had Kimgary, an eatery by the escalator's side. So what happen when there's a long queue? BBQ gets blocked.... I dun even wan to talk about Carl's Jr's pathetic amount of seats available....i think its not even enough for my whole class to go eat comfortably.....zzz. The narrow and tight passage way in front of Uniqlo is crazy as well...with people cheonging in like t-shirts are free? They might as well shut down the escalator. There's this japanese buffet thingy that was tucked in at one superbly tight corner...and queue snaking their way out....well...i guess tt's not too bad considering if the queue at kimgary got longer, i might have to queue on the escalator......Maybe the design was considered in the first place, den the next possibility is that, Asiamall din consider how the shops will obstruct the human traffic...aniwae...like they wud care as long as they're paid with rents....sigh. I guess this is a perfect example of good design gone awry....

Finally settled Weiming's Momo chinatown thingy...guess its time to start concentrating on my imagebook now....Hope i can slot in sometime to do some painting and coloring my models...without any disaster happening....sigh...


Current fayleng: Still having hang overs from stayin overnite til 1230 this afternoon to complete weiming's momo project....zzz

Hmmm...Good news recently? (Super long post and alot of images...T_T)

This few day was as usual...tiring week due to my last minute at work again, wrote and edited my supposed to be graphic novel into a novel. Siggghhh.... Initially i wanted to plan my g.novel in words so that i can keep track of my story direction. The story ended up getting way too complicated and i had to keep it at a novel state to be able to hand in on time. Well, maybe i can do it as a project during this holiday then...zz

Went to the Phokki open ceremony a few days ago... It was kinda quick and nothing much happened really. Apart from telling what i already know from the site...it was just a breeze through. Most of the people who attended were most probably invited internally. I didn't even see any young digital artist. The website itself was pretty good though, something to earn quick cash if you're good enough. Although the launch was kinda boring to me....but i got to see Artgerm!!! He gave a quick talk on what IFS is up to recently and all...Its really inspiring to see him talk about what he is involve at the moment and how he is trying to help educate the public on art as a career. IFS is currently involve in some concept work with square enix from japan according to him, what project he cannot say. LOL. Artgerm will also be gracing this month's ImagineFX with his Pepper!! Well, hope i can get it soon enough....check it out here

I applied for an internship awhile back for Play imaginative, and just when i thought i was rejected last week, i finally received a call from Play imaginative and was told to report for work on the 1st of May. Yaaayy....Kinda happy and worried at the moment...because i'm not really sure what is expected of me...zzz. Anyway, i'm sure i'll learn alot from this internship. Maybe i should also really make use of this holiday to build my portfolio on deviantart, and who knows, i might qualify for IFS one day!! Roar....

Recently, i've been reading this comic by DC called Crisis on Infinite Earth. A short intro from wiki...

Crisis on Infinite Earths is a 12-issue American comic book limited series (identified as a "12-part maxi-series") and crossover event, produced by DC Comics in 1985 to simplify their then-55-year-old continuity.[1] The series was written by Marv Wolfman, and illustrated by George Pérez (pencils/layouts), with Mike DeCarlo, Dick Giordano, and Jerry Ordway, (who shared inking/embellishing chores). The series eliminated the concept of the Multiverse in the fictional DC Universe, and depicted the deaths of such long-standing superheroes as Supergirl and the Barry Allen incarnation of the Flash.
The title of the series was inspired by earlier crossover stories involving the multiple parallel Earths of the Multiverse, such as "Crisis on Earth-Two" and "Crisis on Earth-Three," but instead of lasting two to five issues and involving members from as many superhero teams from as many parallel worlds, it involved virtually every significant character from every parallel universe in DC's history. It in turn inspired the titles of seven subsequent DC crossover series: Zero Hour: Crisis in Time (1994), Identity Crisis (2004), Countdown to Infinite Crisis (2005), Infinite Crisis (2005-2006), 52 (2006-2007), Countdown to Final Crisis (2007-2008) and Final Crisis (2008).

It's a really interesting comic, but i was really attracted to this comic because of its cover...LOL. The cover art was done in collaboration by one of my favourite artist...ALEX ROSS!!! lol...can't get enough of his work man...


Well, its been awhile since i posted things related to toys, so i'll be introducing this gundam kit that i saw on Hobby Japan recently. Its really an eye-catcher...I'm recently quite fascinated with samurai type gundam as well...they're like so super cool.....

Costing $380 here, this is the Gundam that caught my eye....
