Passion is all we need

Oh man Taiwan is cold but still manageable for me. I duno why, I thought I cant handle it cox I had been overwhelmed by Singapore's humid weather.

I guess its the training of overcoming the air-con in our school let me get more used to this weather now.

W should be very clear of what I am saying. haha:)



Today we had dumpling soup as breakfast and man, the dumplings are "gigantic"!! ;D

I took a photo of it and you should really compare it with those in sg. haha~


I talked to the owner which is one of my dad's friends about art as he used to teach sketching for 7-8years!

How amazing is that?:)



He was commenting about my sketches I did over the past few days and he said the only things I'm lacking in my sketches are the distance problems and also the hatching lines of pencil sketching.


I was doing really basic sketching so I did not add those things in. Guess I really long time never practice my skills. Well it should not be an excuse:)


In terms of proportions and others he said I did a pretty good job.

yay~ at least still 30% of my sketching skills is with me?:D


We talked a lot but the only thing which he kept emphasizing to me was to have passion in art.


熱血. The warm blood(direct translation).



He even introduce me to one of his junior to ask me to reference to his style.

Sadly speaking, his junior no longer draw now and guess what he's doing for job? selling army stuff! Guns and all.



So both of them sort of "gave up" their interests in art and pick up something that might not be what they intend to do when they're younger.


I can see some sort of passion left in his eyes when we discuss the sketches I did.
Also the kind of looking forward that one day I can become someone great in this area.


Frankly speaking, I am not that great to carry the dreams they used to dream about and think that I'm continuing my dream on behalf of them.



To me, the only thing that kept me going is really my own passion. No one else.




I guess it's the same for all of us.

Passion is all we need.


To persist on going.

The Story of Bottled Water

A pretty nice ad. Well better think before you buy another bottled water:)
The Story of Bottled Water

Posted using ShareThis

I've been slacking off in posting some comments here but that indicate that I'm not that bored to be stuck with the laptop all day long.




Well I am feeling much back home like obviously. Eating foods that I love and traveling around taking awesome photos!:D

Due to some prob my camera had to be formatted and that costs about few hundred photos being lost.


.....



Lesson learn: always have your copy. DON'T BE LAZY!!:D

I'm gonna set off to hunt for food now and shall leave much of my comments when I go Sg.





I always blog when I got nothing better to do except using the internet.


There's always so much to see and feel rather than sit and rot.


I'm a adventurer after all.

:)

Woohoo!

Adding on to the count down! It's just one more day away~<3<3

Can't wait~

I have done something great to complete my site today so I'm quite satisfied~

I'm back on DA!:D Thanks to my dear watchers the secret diary is going well:)


Hopefully it continues to go well:)


Today went to see many exhibitions and met syam and friday on the way

Haha what a small world~:D





Tomorrow is the last day of school and beginning of our joy!!


YAY~

It's a happy day~!

ohoho~ counting down!! left 3 more days!!XD

I'm so longing to be home~!:D

But somehow that means I cant post up new works on DA....


Apologize to my DA friends~>.<


School's been great and actually there's nothing much to consult so basically I spend most of my time chatting with Si-Y and W to find out more about their life and stuff.

Si-Y's a pretty cool lecturer and we can actually learn new things from each other:)



Chilipadi is pretty cool. 8D



As for today, spend most of my time to do the final touches and tada~

It's done.


If I see something nicer then I'll replace. If not it's just the way it is.

I'm pretty satisfied with the result and be amazed by myself again for such an efficient schedule.


4 days doing 8 complex drawings? That's a no way a few years back. Where I used to take a few days for one drawing.

Well I guess somehow lowering one's standard affects too.


However it does not mean lowering the quality and that's what's most amazing and I'm proud of.


:)


Tomorrow is relaxing day so will do some window shopping + photo shoots( if I feel like to) around the island.

So don't try to find me 8D

We are dancing in air


Photo credit to http://smalltowneyes.tumblr.com/page/48

Nice photograph to describe my mood now~:D

Everything's settle and I just have to sit down and arrange it.

Though I'm exhausted having to run 5 different places and talked to 6+(?!) people but at least it was done.

Thanks to C who ran with me and we both get exhausted ;D



Now I just have to face the most scary and irritating part which have to be done using my hands.


arhh. =A=



Then the next thing is I'm arranging information that' needed for my freedom bird and so it'll took some time.

Thanks again for my DA friends who are so patient:)



I just found out that there's better option out there and I'm considering these two:

1)livejournal
2)tumblr


Well I guess either of it seems to have more options to play with than blogger.



Hmmm.



Actually I could not really see the features for livejournal and tumblr though is not as popular as some other networks, seem to be more appealing at this stage.


So i shall move my new blog to tumblr.

Alright settled. It only took me 10sec to think. lol.





Tomorrow is another brand new day and let's hope everything is fine:D


What an ending.

Final stages~

Ok, in short, I AM BUSY.

haha but pretty happy cox it's my first book!!:D

and HOLIDAYSSSS~~~~!;D




I'm gonna eat fat fat.



Okay what kind of English is that? ;)


Oh and I set up a new blog for my works, as discussed with my DA friends:)






It does not matter

How far we are apart

Our hearts will always be together :)

Happy White Valentine's day!:D

Au Revoir Taipei 一頁台北


Oh I wanna watch~>.<



As for the song...

tada!

Owl City - Vanilla Twilight



Happy White V'day to all~:)

SHERO

S.H.E SHERO -- The theme song for Taiwan International flora expo!


I think this song dedicated to all females and especially I think should dedicate to somebody's wife.

The recent scandal that appears on screen.

Well I guess children are still the main concern and I understand her action.



Someone's selfishness had to cause others to bear the pain.

In her case. Or am I saying my case? Well my case is so less important and serious as compare to hers.


Can pain be compared or measured? I don't think so.

That makes the pain even more painful in that sense.




Well I'm back on posting, thank goodness everything went well as planned. Now left the final stages of touch up~:D


DA:
DA's been doing great and I hit 1000+ pageview!! Thanks all the wishes from my dearies~:D

You guys had been a great support:)






It's funny to think why on earth is there so much messages, notices, letters, comments from all networks while I'm just absent for it for a few days?

Well 4 straight days I mean.


But thanks, that shows there's still someone out there who cares for my present except my family. :)








:)









I shall move on doing work now:)

Sparkling with inspirations :)


Another Maserati to show my pretty good mood :D


So label has finally completed and I think I did a pretty nice job on that!XD clap clap to myself again. But I do nid to take note for the dotted line if I have chance to work on packaging again :)


Posted one of them on DA today and will post the other one somewhere tomorrow~:D




Showed Si-Y my ideas for book and she said its very good~ so I cant wait to start later!:)

She said I am a pretty independent worker which I felt a little bit surprised.



haha, that's the first time I suppose?:D





Hopefully my storybook will turn out as brilliant as my ideas:)



Off to work~:D

Monday, 8 March 2010

Oh man

My new found love.

Maserati in white ;D

Okay not really that new but it's a recent hobby. Somehow get my influence from W I think, haha.

It's a nice car if you can afford one:)


Over the 'holiday' I've been busy managing my DA and also doing my school work on packaging. It's a little bit hectic but still manageable in the end. O'well thank goodness it turns out fine:)


I love koalas~ I have successfully illustrated them into cute cartoonish characters~<3

Or something of that sort,lol. At least it does not turn out to be a gray monster.

Clap clap to myself :D


Will be posting them onto DA soon after I finish the final touches :)


Photoshop is awesome when you explore and use it to your advantage :3


Now the other challenge is the book which I am looking forward to start illustrating actually :)


It's call a challenge because I am challenging myself by putting in elements I never draw or would not draw before.


Well let's wait and see. Hopefully it turns out fine :)





SCHOOL TOMORROW!

Back to work peeps. :)

秒速5センチメートル

ガーネット


The song for the girl who leap through time as well as 5 centimeter per second.


I feel so tempted to watch both.

Especially when I got so "WOW" over the scenery in 5cm/sec!!



>.<


It's one of the most touching MVs ever~ :)




Bringing back much memories? I suppose.



Let's just move on. Really really really.





Talked to my mom's friend for about 2+hours and felt pretty exhausted cox I did not have my afternoon nap.

Yes peeps afternoon nap. I'm still a kid. O'well. ;P


K's pm let me questioned him for several times but he claimed it's just a song.
Well I must be too bored to make a joke out of that. hahah.


well well today's pretty wasted as I did less than 5% of works. =.=

I hope not. Wish me luck for tomorrow!

Fight the bad feeling

Fight the bad feeling

Seriously. Don't think too much.

Keep telling myself but I think it's becoming harder and harder to forget little tiny bits of things.

Where's the old me? where I used to practice 3-second sadness?


I guess she's gone. Like forever. :x



I wasn't really satisfied with that but sometimes you just have to bear with it.

Let's work hard for the koalas!!!:D

Let's do a better job this time.:)




Really I should not let myself be affected by a dream.

It's just a dream.

Even though you appeared in it.















I need a clear mind. I need a break.




Thanks to K I'm feeling better. Number 23 rocks. Forgive me but I still like this name alot ;)

We look upon the stars and make wishes :)


Finally I printed my final for first assignment and felt really relief. :)

I had been holding onto it for too long i guess.

It's really like how Si-Y says, we should play more and experience our life to the fullest.

Looking back the past 19years I had been dedicating myself in the area of academics and seldom did I focus on areas outside the region.

It's a good chance for me now as I still got much to learn.


I love the doggies at the print shop!:D the auntie was nice enough to let me play with her dog:D

Love~<3 it was yawning but ran towards me as I squad down to welcome it :)



Shall start on packaging and I cant wait to draw again!:3




Thanks for lovely peeps who constantly support my work in every way. Comments and favourites and many more:)


I'll persist on creating more works so do look out for it~:)
