Max payne~~hoohooo~

Today was the celebration of Gary boi's n Ruki's bday! So Wenfu, Acel, Melody and i gathered at Gary's house after we brought Garou n Leica for vaccination. Garou was so freaked out...n was whimpering away...unlike Leica, jus squeaking once and everything was back to normal. Leica is gettin to be quite a naughty and aggressive jack russell, LOL! He had such sharp teeth, think Wenfu's hand might get munch off when Leica goes 1 yr old.

We had Gary to go all the way to buy the food and prepare it for the 5 dogs, all we had to do was jus forked out money! Could see that the dogs loved the foods he prepared, except for Ruki refusing to eat fish. zz... We chatted at dinner, and Acel n me had to practically keep pushing the guys for dinner...cos we were soooo hungry...*i din hv lunch.* We talk crapped at dinner, and made a super big detour...LOL! No thanx to me~~ Aniwae, it was really fun today...

After we reached home from Wenfu's drop off, Med n i decided to watch Max Payne. It proved to be a right move after all, the show rocks. Not sure how many people in the theater played the game, but it was all nostalgic... the setting, the background, the storytelling method...and not to forget the bullet times...Yes, the director knew we loved shotgun~~ The shotgun scenes were superb...with the right amonunt of usage for bullet time scenes. I played the game many years ago, so i kinda forgot the storyline, but to my surprise, the movie actually followed closely to the game storyline. It rox aniwae~~

On our way home, we saw an extremely disturbing scene, a cat was run down by a car...it was like zzz... but i din dare approach it, cos i guess i might faint on the spot instead if i see some of the kway zhap stuffs u eat... We really want to help, but really din know wat we cud do...so we end up walkin home instead..this is so zzz....

When death grips u by ur arm, wud u be able to say that u hv accomplish wat u wanted and can leave in peace and without regret?

God it sux...

I have to admit that my tolerance for bad movie is quite high.... But this movie is really way beyond my tolerance level~ 武侠梁祝，Yes, its really bad. The fighting scene failed to impress me, wat do u expect from me when i see the word 武侠? So i thought to myself, since i cant see the 武侠, maybe i'll jus settle for the 梁祝 part den...but nope~ its not there either.... The love story part failed to touch me either...its a fairly boring show. My emotion was jus mono thru-out the show... even at the supposingly heart-tearing scene of male lead n female lead's separation. Its really bad in terms of direction and all...yea some ppl might jus say its supposed to be those arty farty show...but nope its not there either...

Ok, i'll jus be fair, if i really need to compliment this show, maybe it'll be a 5 plus min scene, it was funny, the whole theater burst into laughter, and tat's it. If i'm to rate the show out of 5, i wud rate it 2 points, 1 for the poor Hu ge (The supposingly handsome badass) and the spear man. (i was really happy when he got killed, cos he really pissed me off, and he din really tok, his body language jus pissed me off. Thought he did a good job at that.) Other than that, it jus plainly sux. There goes my 8.50, i shud hv jus watched Max payne. This will be my last chinese movie ever...unless there's a discount... * i might not even watch it for a discount...pui.

Finally getting under way~

Trying to decide if i wanna edit the Family riders into a vector or do

my own version of my female rider as my cover....

Lol, Gary is gonna love this... All along Gary is not really a male supporter~~ so~ as i was doing research materials for my magazine~ i found this very cool fanart. Its an image of 9 Masked riders...but, the special thing about this image is, all of the riders are female version of the original...it was pretty well done. I tried to find the original for a few hours but to no avail~ well, guess i gotta make do with tat. I've decided that maybe i'll do my own version of the female riders based on the original for my magazine cover... :) Aniwae i posted the female rider image is enlarge-able.

Aniwae~my magazine will be animation based~ and this first issue will be on something all japanese animator will know, and more or less influenced~ The masked riders~ from the showa era~ :)

Sux~

This sux...i finally managed to finish 5 pages of magazine...n all 5 is under the same interview...zz.... aniwae....who cares as long as i fulfil the criteria...Upcoming 3 ads and i have 8 pages...God...this is taking forever....Shouldn't have done the interview.. now i'm interested in Kikaider as well...i think slowly i'll jus go for all of Ishinomori Shotaro's works~~zz...

Vectored a couple of magazine scans...and i liked the v3 one very much and i changed it into my image for my blog title. I decided to run again today, cos i can foresee myself gettin hungry at 1am, and i did....Bought cup noodle..and the noodle jus sucks...bought another double cheese burger...and there goes my joggin for today...all down the drain...jitoot...

Still can't decide if i'm goin sch tomoro...not like i'll get ani suggestive pointers...zz... argh~

A Shrine of ur own~

Side track abit...Ruki n her sibling brother when she was still at Pet safari,

omg, she's so adorable~~hoohoooo~*seems trendy to post pics of

our pet dog's infant image...LOL~

As i was bathing after my excruciating painful run~~ i suddenly have the urge to cut a mohawk~~ short mohawk...LOL! weather is really hot...and my hair is a nuisance when i'm joggin~ Was reading thru the interviews and some forum post on Takayuki Takeya, someone posted an image of his house cum studio~ and they commented that so wat if he's a master sculptor...he doesn't even have money to get a decent house and clothing... Although it was a very long post...i was kinda pissed...

Do u need to wear a tuxedo to sculpt? Do u need a elaborate flower vase mansion to work in? His house was his studio...it was his shrine...When i saw the picture before the post, i was so envious... Everything he needed, his tools, reference was there...its SO COOL!! How many person can and is willing to change their house like tt? And to those noobs in the forum, he din work for money... of cos money for a living..but he work mainly for his passion...so to him, everything is to the extent of sufficient..no elaborate-ness and lame n useless decorations~

When i tot of the term "shrine"~ i suddenly remembered Gary's posting abt when he starts workin n gettin an apartment to keep his pets, and incomin pets... I thought his room had the feeling of Takayuki Takeya's room~ His room, was totally dedicated to his pets...at least half of them....Its really cool~

Look at the tools, references and WIP....omg~~~

The sculptor when he was younger~ The brushes and

sculpting tool behind is like crazy~~

Manage to get Gary to tk a picture of his room, look at how much space

he dedicated to his pets, that includes the empty space as well, so that

his pets can roam the room... 2 chi hua hua & 2 cats... Garey Boy, Grimswig,

Goethe and Girtal

Haiz~~

Its gettin real bad...jus cant seem to get into the momentum.. But i'm tryin very hard and i can feel it coming thru~ slowly... i was always a 慢热 designer or person if u dun allow me the title of designer....LOL! I'm slowly gettin into form...but normally, i spend like 2months to get into form, and we go for like 2 weeks break? and i go back to square one...zzz....

Was searching for interview article and i finally decided who i'm doin my interview article on...Takayuki Takeya 竹谷隆之. He's a master sculptor in japan and is very famous and sought after. You guys mus be wondering why the sudden interest in sculptors...LOL! He's the main sculptor and concept designer for S.I.C series of toys. Yes, my masked riders and the entire series of Garo. He is involved in the creation of final fantasy playarts, props design and some other conceptual monster works. I'm not much of a sculpture person myself, but with my experience of buying his series of toys~~ He is godlike~

Last year, for Star War's 30th anniversary, Japan's Yoshitoku Company apparently had him designed the conceptuals for Darth vader's mask. They were goin to make a Samurai Vader armor. The images were superb...*although there was only one image...LOL! But hey~ if i get to be involve in Star Wars...i'll so faint on the floor.
