when i think of animation, i feel this way :) :) :)
往前追不后退 I feel so good 快提高分贝 未了爱把速度都加倍 没有人跟幸福做对 没有时间浪费 做好全部心理准备 心跳起飞 不能放弃 随便彻退每次爱的机会 心在醉 心在飞 我敢追 爱就是超快感 俐落乾脆 不会累 !!!

it's been too long.
i really wonder wad i have been up to all this while.
well work has begun to get exciting again, with nice acting shots of some new kick ass characters, and i can't wait for season 2 to be out on the real big teebee!!! i'm so gonna watch every episode i did on TV. not on the computer or anything (: its a different feelin, AAAHHH... !!! it's like jumpin around naked versus jumping around in hot shorts and a tank top. the former is totally exhilarating!!! not that i've tried yet (: but the anticipation is already steaming!
the KL trip over the may 30th weekend was great (: came back with many great buys, like Force; Drawing for Animators book, A POP UP CARD BOOK, Darth Vader, 3 clones and a wall.e toy (TOTALLY AWESOME xD), a bag, tons of chewing gum, and too-cute stickers!!!
this is me trying to snap shots of nice cards cos i don have the money to buy so many books *_*....
this is U-HU-HU ! lol, something like soft, halfbaked cheesecake in many flavors :D
Sher, Clarence, Qy n I ate 5 meals a day there, some of which include crazy cheap bak kut teh, NANDOS CHICKEN ( LOVEEE !!! ), awesome gui lin gao... and oh o_o while we were eatin wan ton mee, we saw a rat as big as a cat, tryin to squeeze between the drain grills. TRYING TO. it was so fat it was disgusting! sigh, all we want to see are slim n pretty things, i haf more or less given up hope on myself.
oh we also saw a crow as big as a chicken. clarence was totally freaked hahahaha. its very amusing to see a guy freaked by fluffy feathery creatures, not just crows.
i've also been to too many weddings. I'm not sure whether I feel old cos i'm invited to so many, or so young when i look around me and they all look like they've already seen the world. this is one of my lead, Ullas' wedding celebration at his place (: lottttts of champagne and awesome ice-wine!! I drank and drank and rushed off to KL on tat nite. It was a crazy weekend.
oh, i've also been busy watchin the korean version of hana yori dango (oh myy i'm such a cheesy loser! but i'm a girl after all, no matter how much i try to hide it at work :( ... )
my patience is also growing thin with some friends whom i feel are gettin more and more negative and over the line and jus, i duno exactly how to say this. But its like they're giving off wry comments jus to look cool. Its sad that people base all their self esteem on others, and don't appreciate the finer things in life. you don't have to put people down to step up.
i can just imagine these people, lookin at a sunset for a minute and saying they're bored already, or try to find reason behind something when the real satisfaction comes from appreciating it for what it is.
workin for money is definitely important, but i wouldn't save it all up for a rainy day.
while i'm young i'm gonna travel the world, work in many different countries, try lots of different kinds of food, look at the sky, and like the photographer's father ( great link manda!!!) , see it and imagine the hundreds of paintings i could do with that color palette. i want my children to remember me drawing, animating, sculpting, painting, buyin toys, and living life to the fullest, just because this world is too beautiful to waste time on scrutinizing why, but rather, appreciating who and what everything is.
in 2 years, whether i have kage bunshin or not (: , i will improve my animation and not plateau, move to an even bigger better animation company, become real good at tennis, make awesome cards for all my good friends, try not to think that i'm fat, buy even more nice clothes and books and toys and not hate my sister as much haha :D good plan!
see ya soon people (: thank you. over and out.

may all nerds like me \ \ // live long and prosper. or "Dif-tor heh smusma" in Vulcan !
today i went to watch star trek with my company. IT IS SUPER COOL!! (quote quote from colleague, "...seems much betta than star wars..." =x)
AND i'm not being biased because my company did the effects or anything... just ask the at-first-reluctant qy, she'll tell you its damn cool with some funny bits too!!! at the end when the credits rolled and everyone stayed to watch familiar names scroll by, clappin and cheering, i really really really know damn well what i want.
one day i'll see my name up on the big screen too. i have big giant dreams to fulfill ! (:
oh this is damn cool and creative stop motion *_* just amazing: MUST WATCH!
and ! i'm totally addicted to Ryan Adams songs *_* almost-sad songs are AWSOMUS !!! check him out:
come pick me up.

don't know where i was, don't know where i am, don't know where i should be going.
haha! don't know here i got this oldie from, its actually a cover of Leonard Cohen's song, but i like this much betta (: the winner is still the lyrics. awesomus.
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows that the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich Thats how it goes Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking Everybody knows that the captain lied Everybody got this broken feeling Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets Everybody wants a box of chocolates And a long stem rose Everybody knows
and boy do i love long weekends! feels like its a school holiday :D hurhur. i know i shld stop talkin like i'm a student and i belong in sch, but nostalgia never dies, and neither does the urge to throw away all responsibility. Everybody knows.
anw had a great day today! finally bought my sports shoes !!! been shoppin ard for it for 1000000 yrs, and all have either been too heavy, too thin and tapered at the front, or too wide !!! (most common problem)
my nike zoom limitless is gonna make me limitless!!!! i can totally envision myself running to work and back. right.
tried to go to Uniqlo ytd, but it was f**************** crowded like holy shit!! i was totally pissed and was oozing a lot of bad tempered aura, which i feel really works all the time. at tampines 1 (stupid uncreative name >:( ) they had this semi-hardboiled egg thing which really looks like e marutama one! wanted to try it badly, but of cos, it had a long queue comparable to uniqlo's. ah well, next time!
the movie shinjiku accident is very tense. and lots of blood spilled. not in the graphical kill bill kinda method. like slash throat chop of hand kinda thing o_o i'm glad we don have yakuzas in spore. or taiwan gangsters. eew.
and after talkin to the gang, i've been thinking about ambition. how far shld it really push you? my sis is a rather homely person, doubt she'd ever go overseas to work. She strikes me as the rather timid kind. but i think as she grew older she has become much closer to my parents than i have. she talks to them more, eats with them more. I think i'm a lot more ambitious and always wanderlust-ing.
but how old are my parents? how long will they live? how much shld i be at home and hang out with them while we still can? how old am i and how long do i plan to work hard and rise up / hang out with my parents before they grow too elderly to enjoy life together with us?
the years are running, if only there is a real 50/50 balance. because after i started working, i realize it's not possible. choose one, work or family.
ANYWAYYY!!! another awesomus line test from the keyframe animator of AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER. if you haven't watched the cartoon yet...DO IT! it'll reel u in right away! :D
And everybody knows that its now or never Everybody knows that its me or you

it has been a great week.
i ****think**** i've finished all my toughest shots, so now its down to all my pretty easy shots :D head shots of talking talking talking people. we had slushies at work throughout the week, celebrated si wei's bday w a lunch at changi airport (at the staff canteen which serves really good western food :D) ...
and! i saw some of my previous shots from previous episodes lit, with effects and everything done and it looks soooo amazing *_*. i mean, tat is like my work man! goin to be on tv! i can imagine it on my demo reel *_* ok, so the only person i'm impressing is myself but hahaha that's good enough for me (: for now.
...and then friday came. and ended my week with a fantastic display of fireworks cos i got a free blue ipod shuffle!!! only 1gb but hey, wad's there to complain abt when the company wants to reward us rather generously for our tireless effort in animating rite? (:
we thought they might have inscribed "Please work 3x harder from now on (:" but nope, it is just an unspoken subtext. lol.
and i've decided that sure, the grass might be greener on the other side, where all the big tall exciting uni life stands, but it is pretty damn green on my side already :D so thank you, god.
and this is super nice line test for nike :D (click it!) ......iiiiiii WILL FIND TIME ONE WEEKEND TO DO SOME 2D ANIMATION!!!!
and yay i am highly anticipating the tioman trip in july. PLEASE SAY YOU CAN MAKE IT GIRLSSS *_* and if u see this, SMS ME YOUR REPLY NOW PLEASE! i hate chasing ppl for answers. esp when ppl only ans when *certain* ppl ask them...-_- totally irritating can. REPLY NOW NOW <3 NOW. thank you :D
I wonder why guys have it so easy - when they reply its like immediate and they can pack up n leave in 5 minutes. just amazing.
