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

for the upcoming Comic convention news organised by Play imaginative check out

check out some of the cool Trexi design at
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.

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....
