This poster made me cringe. Jackie Chan and Jet Li in one movie. Whoa!

but i like the poster layout. the way they arrange the names and coming soon into a border is brilliant. It looks like a scroll.
Anyway....it latter made me feel like this.

I'm sorry for the bad analogy.......

WTF?!!!! Jackie!!! why are you wearing a mop??

Heres the plot,
"Based on the Chinese legend of the monkey king, revolves around an American teenager who discovers the king's legendary stick weapon in a pawn shop. He is transported back in time to ancient China, where he joins a crew of warriors fighting to free the imprisoned king."



They freakin add in too many elements already. shees.... i like Lionsgate movie but i WOULD NOT WATCH THIS CRAP! look at the trailer. total turn off. I mean COME ON! Jackie Chan and Jet Li! two brilliant martial artists, at least do some great movies like Heroes or House of Flying Daggers which show the ultimate kung fu beauty! not this commercialize type! aish aish!

Sorry for the lack of update =p
a very wrong way to start a new year. anyway... my family were here last week. went out and had a blast. now i super miss home. might be going back this Chinese New Year, then i can claim Jie's ang pao as well.

this conversation actually happened when mum n dad stayed at my place.



p/s, yes Ronald, i finally get an umbrella ella ella~ but refuse to carry it =p

Gotta love Wacom

Since i got my tiny weeny A5 drawing tablet, we are like Siamese twin already.
Ve to say it is much more easier to draw with tablet than drawing with mouse. First drawing with tablet. i'm kinda pleased with the result. *beams
the model is from Dazed and Confused magazine (august07)

Sorry for the lack of updates. My internet is slower than an aging snail. Been very busy the past few weeks. Something happened and I'm still dealing with the aftermath.

Heroes creeps me out. It seems that everyone i met had watch the series. Try it yourself. ask your classmates, college or neighbors. I bet 8 out of 10 people are watching. and at least 5 are addicted. including Jie and Jen. Heres something for Jie.

i know i shouldn't sit down and blog. I should start digging the store room for my old artwork for compilation and brainstorm ideas for Monday. but the words, "kancil" , "collateral" and "identity" gave me goosebumps and stomach cramp. i need to do something outside school work before i emotionally and physically combust. the above is Grace Kelly from Rear Window. kinda simply done. blessed live trace.

PAUSE!!! plueezzzee GOD, please pause for a while. i'm like sitting on this moving very fast punya merry-go-round. non stopping. i havent digest old stuffs from previous term and this term already come in full force. forget merry-go-round. my life now is a freaking washing machine. just when i thought it couldn't get any worse, i caught flu from the chameleon-like weather. ha ha! ha ha ha ha... ha ha
unf**king believable! >:*( …snort

occasional ramblings

AAAArrrrrrrr.... enough enough enough already!!!! its like a mad race. I feel like splitting the subjects and get my WEEKEND BACK!!!! when they said 3rd year means hell, it really is. There is always something to worry about everyday. Rejected works, shitty ideas and unfinished works. I'm tired to deal and working with people anymore. It seems like no point and I wonder how some guys and had no sense of gallantry. I had enough. Sometimes I tried to be uncooperative and difficult but failing miserably. Pathetic, i know.
I have no time to do what i like now. The "Lost" season3 Jen lent i haven't even touch it yet. =(
But still i'm happy and content with life now. If compared with wad cousin Put is facing. I guess i'm in much better state.
Put, GANBATE! jom sama sama berjuang! you melawan preman i melawan assignment!

Anyhoo, some good things that happened this month,

1) My hamsters have kids!!!! name them hamster A-jr, B-jr, C-jr, D-jr and E-jr. The first three baby hamsters didn't make it because mama hamster ve no experience and didn't know how to take care of her babbies. I'm glad when mum called and said that the five baby hamsters are doing great.

mum: "they are tiny, red, bald and ugly" (AAAAAaaaaawwwww!!!!!!)

2) Catch up with Dewi n Jen. Finally can relax even though feeling wee guilty for skipping class. Dewi might come to KL and study! awesomeness! now we can all go shopping!!!

3) Suah n Julian came back for holiday. Its great to see them again. They didn't change a bit! Physically changed but they are still... well Jullian n Suah (jolly good fellas! i'm really glad to see you guys again!)

4) My prayers are answered!! Finally, a BIGGER library at school, and now i can feast upon all the ARCHIVE, Idn n other art magazines which i had to sacrifice my lunch or dinner to afford. Thank GOD!!!!

5) Mum bought me a rice cooker. I guess its time to learn proper cooking.


WILL POST MORE WORKS once i find the time! bounce bounce!
ve to work extra hard!

(the contents had been edited.. somehow i think its to negative =p)

sluggishly happy…

Been very lazy lately… still in the "holiday mode"

Anyway, i think i'm slowly turning into a geriatric.
playing sudoku online for hours, watching Martha Stewart religiously every morning and making a habit of drinking tea every afternoon.

Being the only single in the unit is getting annoying. My eyes are bombard with PDAs every waking hours. I should adopt a cat.

But the main reason why i haven't been productive is because i'm having an identity crisis. I'm still finding that "very DORA" kind of style. Every art piece i produced, i can't help but think that it looks like someone else' style. Not original. And its driving me insane. So thats how they went to trash.

About the lotus, nah. I'm not 1 metre high ya... the lotus in the garden was planted above ground level. Thats why it is taller than me. Btw, i don't know when this habit started but, i like to watch peoples' mouths.
Here's a few observations.




I swear… i'll post more artwork.

random post...#10

i like dad's plants. a lot. stood in front of the plant for around one hour. but worth it. blooming flower are fun to watch.

road to Shambala~~

4 subjects down. 2 more to go!
then its holly jolly term break! =D
today we had our marker test. Hell, i know Ning Wei is torturous by nature but, two markers in 4 hours is insane. (managed to finished them on time with inhuman speed). i even had to hold my pee and continue drawing. i was so scared i cant finish since i entered the class late.

still remember the "underpaid-freelance" i did back in November???
yep… this poor artist got paid yesterday =D !!!! it turns out 6 of my artworks got accepted. the money is not much, but i'm so happy i can run around the football field naked. its not only about the money, but the sense of security it gave. the fact that my work got approval from the industry. now i'm convinced i had made the right decision and walking at the right path.

anyway… i came across this article in "Real Simple". "Find your song and sing it"
whether you're feeling insecure, unmotivated, or just blue, the fastest route to energy and confidence is through your very own theme song.

after rummaging my iTunes library, i decided on Shambala by "rockapella"
it is such a relaxing and fun song. for some reason, whenever i was feeling nervous, the " ah ohhhhhhhhhh yeah,yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ,ah ohhhhhhhhhhh yeah,yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah,in on the road to shambala" part of the song will suddenly popped up.
yeah yeah yeah~~~~~ uh uh~~

*Shambhala (Tib. bde 'byung) is a Sanskrit term meaning "place of peace/tranquility/happiness"



quick sketch with illustrator. me n the lovely term break. now, i want you to find your own theme song too! =D

Life Is Fine by Langston Hughes

I went down to the river,
I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,
So I jumped in and sank.

I came up once and hollered!
I came up twice and cried!
If that water hadn't a-been so cold
I might've sunk and died.

But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!

I took the elevator
Sixteen floors above the ground.
I thought about my baby
And thought I would jump down.

I stood there and I hollered!
I stood there and I cried!
If it hadn't a-been so high
I might've jumped and died.

But it was High up there! It was high!

So since I'm still here livin',
I guess I will live on.
I could've died for love--
But for livin' I was born

Though you may hear me holler,
And you may see me cry--
I'll be dogged, sweet baby,
If you gonna see me die.

Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!

rants... (this post contains 100% pure ramblings)

This week is sure hectic… and i blew my monthly allowance.Printing is expensive =.=" Anyway, thank God its already weekend. A few days ago I ate a half cooked boiled-corn . While i was boiling the thing, suddenly it ran out of gas. But, the corn looked as if its ready to eat. As dumb as i was i took a big bite... it tasted argh argh argh..arlf arlf... do not judge a vegetable by its color. bless me, i'm still alive.

Another lazy afternoon spent in front of the computer but barely doing assignments.
My house mate is going to move out. I made it harder for her by bawling around the house screaming " i don't want new house mates!!!" color me selfish. We have known each other since high school. And YOU! (who is in Damansara is included!!!) why do you guys leave me alone here!!!??

Things that i watch:
The Perfume: Whee... through out the whole movie, my mind was filled with ("OMG she's naked!! naked naked and more naked people") OK... do not mind my perverted review... overall this movie is good. It gives new premises about perfume and how you can easily "purchase someone". made you stare at your perfume bottle for a long time and hesitated before using

Hannibal, Rising: Gaspard Ulliel is hot!! hot hot!!! his smile is so wicked. *swoon… Think twice about the meat you eat…

American Idol: Aww.. aww... Sanjaya... i have mixed feelings for you. dunno whether i should like or dislike your hairstyle O.o" i like your singing though...



And if Sanjaya wins, i'll reconsider about watching the next season… (Jordin's fan here! =D )

CSI: Punch The Pineapple version...

<♩♪♬♫ ...CSI main theme>
Sunday morning... my house mate and i found a fat-dead-lizard lying lifeless on the kitchen floor...

Time of death: not more than 48 hours
Possible cause of death:
1) old age
2) accident
3) poisoning... from eating the food we cooked
or from eating the expired food we kept
4) killed by another lizard

Prime suspect: ??? no idea

Since all of us are too scared to move the body, we just leave it until the lady who come and clean the unit came and throw it out. This is the third case between 2006-2007. There are similarities on the three victims. All are found dead in the kitchen early in the morning... which mean, the crime happened at night. All victims are still in good condition, which mean they didn't involve in a fight with another lizard..
hrm.. we will continue our investigation and will soon catch the suspect who we suspect is still lurking around freely behind the kitchen cabinets...


Words from eyewitness: ''i think lizards are gross.. but still its nicer to see them alive than seeing them dead.''

If you have any ideas on what or who might cause the death of those poor creatures, please inform us. As justice must prevail!
