Weekends~~~

Our first time at manpuku~~food is pretty good, and not really expensive as well, maybe i'll hold my bday celebration wif 911 here... :)





Recently i've been hangin out at Iluma's arcade alot... And we came upon this hilarious scene las week. 4 dudes on this arcade machine where u need to jump n jump to race thru obstacles. Well, there were alot of onlookers...LOL.



Well nice try, he tried to avoid the camera, but he seems like he was posing for the camera though.







Freaking imba long queue that never shortens...



You might think this is big, but the i think the one who made the floss kinda dulan me...cos ours is like the smallest he made.... those i saw is like at least 1/4 bigger....zzz



Imba big candy floss, everyone was freaking queueing at the IT show at suntec. Costing at $1.40 each, its pretty cheap as compared to pasar malam one. But eatin such a big floss is really pretty zzz... when we were 1/4 left, i was basically gonna vomit...







Hmmm.. not too sure wat this was for, but well, i saw a T-rex at tampines. LOL.



Our store is finally up and running, and finally selling our first bag on the second day...if i rem... This was the layout before yesterday. My bosses went down to rearrange the display in the front and changed them into alot of trexis and toys. Med and i agreed that maybe there should be more wallpaper of toys or images of the toys we have to make it look more fun. It looks kinda high classy and all.... but nonetheless, it still looks really cool, especially after the re layout yesterday.

For more images of the store...catch us here


I'll be dropping down to the CGoverdrive this weekday to check out some courses, and hopefully i can catch some useful infos.

Current Fayleng: Determined n a lil confused....it shud all end by the end of the week...

Karas~

Last night i was watching this anime, Karas. Well i have to say that the storyline and visuals are really very impressive. An anime from the henshin genre by Tatsunoko, the methods of production and storyline are not something u wud be able to see in normal animes. The fight scenes especially is incredibly good. For more details on this 6 episode anime by Tatsunoko production, check it out at wiki.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karas_(anime)

Because of this anime, i've decided that i'll be gettin the figurine produced by Max factory. Surprisingly, the person who sculpted or designed this figurine was none other den Kenji Ando, one of the other sculptor for the S.I.C series.

Seems like Tatsunoko is the trend for me lately, Gatchaman, Casshern~~ Karas....
Another Upcoming movie from Tatsunoko would be Yatterman, featuring Kyoko Fukada.

Dilema n a busybody...

For the past few weeks, i've been so busy and shagged out by work that i have practically stop doin anithin once i'm home. LOL.

Trying to remind myself to not do that and pushing myself to do wat i'm supposed to do. By chance recently, i came across this school who is providing professional certs for wat i really wan to do and learn, downside was, the cost is almost on par with my degree. So wat shud i do... the advantage was, the course is shorter...guess this will have to be up to me to decide...(its abt digital paintin, matte paintin, some entertainment design and character design.)

Today, i had to accompany Med at the gallery, and well, some busybody came up to me while we were watchin video on Med's laptop. Can't really remember wat he said but here goes...

dude: Is your work in this exhibition?
me: Yea, its behind..why? (wtf m i tt famous?)
dude: which course r u guys from?
me: visual communication... (why do u even care....)
dude: the lights for the interior design exhibits are not on...
me: erm...ic...we're from visual comm... (r u deaf or wat? i jus said i'm from visual comm)
dude: but you're the gallery sitter rite? i think you have the responsibility to on their lights...
me: (F*** u...) the gallery sitter for interior design is over the other side, together with the product design peeps...

alrite...i know this sounds like i'm super keh gao kia, but well, we spent a good sunday to come down and sit in for the gallery, and if~ the interior ppl dun even give a damn~ why shud we? while they're enjoyin their sunday at home? I shud hv jus ask the jitoot dude if he was frm interior....well...god bless him i forgot....

recently i'm addicted to tatsunoko vs capcom...well, its a fantastic game, with the aerial combos and watever combos...its hard to stop. And Iluma bugis has 3 of these machines... so everytime i go to bugis for this few days, i'll jus drop by the arcade for a shot... had a try at SF4, and well, its really different and hard...sigh.... with punches slower and harder to combine, and special move harder to execute...its a pain in the ass for a joystick idiot like me to play....

For toy fans, Play imaginative at Iluma is finally opened and features alot of designer stuffs and cool toys. Do check it out, you won't miss it, its by the entrance outside Iluma. I got myself some nice badgee from Popkartsg the other day as well...they looks damn cool....(my interest in stuff is getting really random and strayin from wat i wud be interested in the past...)

The badges i bot at popkartsg....recently i really like Thor after i read 1602 from Marvel written by Neil Gaiman. Its a really cool story. And of cos, iron mans...who can not love ironman...and the other dude is the flash...bot it cos the matt finish is really nice. The batman was part of a free gifts i received after i announced Firdaus's name...hahaha....he's my in charge at my intern work place. These badges r not those diy badges, from wat i'm told, they're actually authentic licensed product by one of the designers of mighty mugg. He has decided to start his own merchandise with all these badges. Its for sale at $2 per piece at popkartsg at Iluma Bugis entrance.

Hmmm...saw Cheng bot jim this jelly lens thing...so i went to buy a stretch lens for Med as well...haven try it out tho...haha...

Whahaha...my Kamen rider 1 & 2 caught by Med at the UFO machine @ Downtown. $3 spent in total. Simply love them...hurhurhurhur...have been addicted to UFO machine nowadays again...zz...

Finally used my spiderman keychain on my sling bag...might as well use it, or else it wud hv been a waste....

Current Fayleng: Dunno wat to do....sigh... Paper or money?

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.

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....
