Haven't been blogging for a while.. Was busy trying to get the best out of my remaining time in Melbourne and trying my utmost to savor lil' time left with my dear friends..

2008 puts a full stop to many things. Firstly, it's the graduate year of my 3-yr degree course. My student life ends here. Also it's also an end to my stay in Melbourne. No more nice hot mocha chats with friends while strolling in the cool weather of Melbourne, no more beautiful blue skies which accentuates the beauty of photos, no more Smith St. bargain buys.. no more drinking sessions at Sam's with the gang.. Awwwwww....

I've never experienced such severe bouts of depression in my life.. Faced with a heavy and strenuous project workload, the strains of a longing heart, the cold nights of loneliness, my world seemed downcast. Every single day is a torture. Every night, miserable. The restlessness of an anxious heart is beyond description..

I will miss you guys.. and I will never ever forget you guys.. Joyce, Elaine, SamY, SamC, WH, TJ.. Thank you for everything I've learnt from you guys.. You've been the leading light that had led me outta the lousy times of 2008. Here's a toast to a promising and happy 2009 ahead for you.My resolution for 2009 is to be able to learn and improve on appreciating small things in life. to be content. to appreciate ppl better. to curb my frustrations when provoked. to be a better son, brother and friend. to be happy.

Went for drinks after the ACMI screening of our BAM/BAAIM graduate work at first Misty and then another pub along Elizabeth Street. Had 2 'lolli' drinks(basically cocktails by the name of 'Soher Lemonade) and 3 'neat' shots. The shot (shown above) of my favourite color of luminous lime green is apparently mixed with the leaves of marijuana MINUS the druggie bits..

Also proceeded to down another 2 more shots going by the interesting name of Wet Pussy and one by the name of ZeTruce?... Went flushed red(i imagine.. nope, i din look into the mirror..) and had to periodically blow my ears clear.. lol.. i'm sucha bad drinker.. lol.. but it's fun! =DFull Peeks on Facebook.

luv my frens so much.. gonna miss their company so much when i return.. awww...

disappointment... hai..

sometimes i believe in ppl's excuses too much. believing that they are genuinely busy when being turned down. i've always believed that they're my friends. they wouldnt hurt me this way.

if u r not interested. then dun tell me next time u will n then next time i asked i get another next time. it's hurtful disappointment. this is naivety i guess.. perhaps giving up on ppl will douse the fire of enthusiasm more and will thus avoid becoming a donkey with a carrot held in front all the time..

the situation simply points to the lack of desire and truth that i didnt wanna accept.

we're just not worth u coming out of ur home.


it's looking increasingly like a bday without everyone this yr.. nobody's doing anything nor remembering anything. it's just different here.

holidays are here.. rushed finish my animation. i feel the sound design was kinda crappish but i kinda ran short of time so all in all, i hv to be satisfied with my effort.

animation by one person is kinda nuts.. all the work.. story writing, storyboarding, character design, modelling, rigging, texturing, animating, lighting, then compositing then sound design.. all by one person in less than a year. just compare that to pixar who does an animated featured film in 4 years with hundreds of ppl each oni doing their share.

for whose who dont understand the work behind animation, 25 still images makes one second of the animation. thus a 3min 30second animation like mine is like (3.5mins x 60 secs/min x 25 frames = 5250 frames).

well,.. it's all over now.. =)


i'm thinking of someone again..

This is The Shrine of Remembrance. We happen to walk by it as I led a couple of map-idiot designers from Chapel Street back to the City. Thus we had some fun taking photos after shopping.
