avatar

10:53 PM

not the anime avatar: the legend of aang
that one was. well, not bad, but im not mentioning that today.



the movie avatar.

made by the man [james cameron] who did the epic movie titanic, this is a futuristic show. man in conflict with an indigenous race called navi on Pandora, which is some moon.

made in 3D, i read on the straits times few weeks back on the budget and amout of effort into making its visuals.

so my fam and i went to catch it.
i was wondering what to expect.

and i was swept off my feet.

the feeling of watching that show was like catching a full HD movie on a 50ft cinematic screen.

details were totally clear and crisp.
and the bluefaced friends. completely computer generated, they feel too humanlike.
until we lose sense of whether we are staring at actors or computer made images.

plot was ok, and soundtracks were quite impressive.

i'd like to go on abt all that graphics rendering and visual geekiness, but no one will understand me again :D so... i'll leave it as that.

i'll safely state that it is the new benchmark. a technological breakthrough. for all its eyecandy, rather, eyepopping visuals.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_%282009_film%29#Filming_and_effects

always there if anyone wants to know~.~

hm. and i like the message intended. of the environment and human behaviour.
no spoilers here xD

icantbelieve - vocaloids?!

10:18 PM

icantbelieve that im blogging so many times a day~
some persistent habit really.

oh, but its better than boring friends with my mood :s

anyw, is not sure if anyone has heard of the term

Vocaloids?

wikipedia states that "Vocaloid is a singing synthesizer application software developed by the Yamaha Corporation that enables users to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody."

doesnt help much, does it :P

basically they went about recording the voices of singers/voice actors or actresses.

so you can actually make use of this software to insert syllable after syllable of japanese characters of their alphabet into a piece of music.

its mainly targeted as a musical synthesizer and used to create [japanese] songs.

i think the program has so much potential. for budding composers who cant sing perhaps. they can use the vocaloid to "sing" for their piece~

the vocaloid now comes in many packages



this is miku hatsune. she is the first vocaloid. comes packed with a cutesy voice that will appeal to otakus ^^



this is the pair rin and len, sold together as a boy/girl duo in another sep package.

im currently sampling the official tracks that were produced. and im really impressed



kyaa~ this mv is totally awesome. the singing is pieced letter by letter,btw. thats how great the technology is.

not to mention, creative mv. heehee. i like.

maybe ill get my vocaloid soon :P

draws

7:26 PM

has found a new source with quite good quality for coloured scans and walls
expanded weapons listing. yay.

greatness. hopes to start on the pencil soon.

in need of guys now.
where the gender biasness becomes evident.
and quantity of good quality scans diminish.

sighs. too many male mangakas drawing too many girls and overwhelming harem.

Labels: memory

back on track

4:14 PM

slightly less than 2 weeks left.

it has reached a point where, i guess i wont dwell on this life anymore.

jpop :P

quite glad that music is occupying my heart.
with kana nishino and her 2 newest songs - motto and dear.

yay and i got my [digital] copy of ikimonogakari's latest album which was slated for release tmr on 23 dec. ripped in mp3 @ 320kbps!

i know where to source for leaked jpop if i want to (:
can be as early as a month in advance. fufufu~

drawings

with not much time left for much, guess this is all i could do hm?

im wanting to expand my drawing references folder.

i want to increase my exposure to weapons of all sorts. characters wielding blades, katanas, shuriken, guns etc. kind of hard to find good postures.

also welcome to increase the amount of standard cosplaying characters.
which are much easier to find.
my only complaint would be the filtering process. too much ecchi gets in the way.
and i dont intend to draw ecchi. *slaps*

oh, in general also in demand for male characters, be it scans or walls [wallpapers]
wonders where to source for those.

hmmm, anyone to help?

korea feels.

11:44 AM

now that i have recapped briefly.
has abit of thoughts over things

1.korea is cold
damn cold, actl. with temp ranging frm like -8 to -15 deg celsius.
and with strong winds. brrr. freezing.

2.korea is not korea. its china
what? i dont make sense? yeah, in fact i dont know why.
but here's my point.

-my tour guide's a korean of chinese descent.
he speaks chinese to us.
-the shops we visit. the saleskeepers speak chinese. they are frm china/taiwan.
-tourist attractions. the people there somehow can speak chinese.

3.i love singapore. or not?
what to do? its travel season.
at every turning point, restaurants, attractions, malls. singlish spewing.
goes to the hotel lobby. singlish.
goes to the skiing resorts. singlish.
goes to the sauna palace. more singrish.
streets. shops. airports. planes. grahhh~

am i really in korea?

4.food is not oily. but is boring.
its just steamboats. and kimchi/seasoned stuff.
understands its due to cultural and historical stuff. ohwell.

5.are korean girls pretty?
i went to the land of plastic surgery expecting many beauties with perfect faces.
i dont mind the false looks actually.
but what i saw was. uh. rather normal.

6.fashion

truth is. they're currently following some trend which. i dont quite fancy.
the straight bangs. round thickrimmed geeky glasses.

and then. attire. quite plain and simple.
does not see the flashy coats and extra short miniskirts or rainbow coloured stockings. and where are those sexy boots?

haha. the standard stuff was on the streets instead. jeans. normal coats and jackets in simple colours like uhh. brown blue black white kinds.

was expecting a similar sight like japan.
where were all the flashy clothes? the winter collection hides in the wardrobe?
the truth is. you only see those on tv. sobs :x

i do think that my korean airstweardess was charming tho :p

7. i like my tour guide and the assistant.
their service was great, beyond what was needed of them to do.

8. i like the people who came on tour with us.
so nice of them.

9. most importantly, i managed to take a holiday from my mind.

note: the f4 stars flew by asiana. if u want any chance next time.. hoho.

dislikes

8:36 PM

i said i can hate my class, because they had to organise chalet so late.
but to a group of people whom i may not be seeing anymore, i harden my heart.

and i will take it all upon myself, for not taking up empowerment.

these skies, its of no use, is it?

10:40 AM

the skies out of the window, bright and glaring, blue, topped with white fluffs as clouds.



beautiful as they might be, white of purest, blue of deepest,
yet the blue and the white moved with differing velocities,
hence unable to coexist within the same view of a sky.

they shall change eventually



into a land, so vast, a sky so dark



and to the other, crimson with passion, a breathtaking sunset.

incidentally, looking into another view of a different sky, far away,



lit softly in gentle shades of violet, such a marvel, such a wonder.
but those skies, they're just wishful thinking isint it.

to run a path

10:16 PM

today, i went running again.

for my feet never touched the asphalt in a long time,
i didnt know what to expect, expect of that path ahead again.

i only knew, there was a beautiful sun ahead.
it shone through the trees, and i saw its radiance.

towards the sun, i ran.
the path down, towards its warmth i sought.

the hill, is steepness and adversity was familar,
it wore me out, but i shall appreciate its downslope on its other end.

i shall run on, tired,
but because i can see the warmth it will offer,
i shall run, this last hundred metres.

standing at the pavilion,
eyes still affixed at the setting sun.

and while it shall set and disappear for the night, i rest.
and because it rises again the next day, i will be strong, i will try to run again.

towards that same feeling, a step nearer.
for one day, as the path winds around.
the sun shall shine on the back, and by then,
i wont be cold, to run this path alone.

wrongs

11:29 AM

i dont know what is going wrong.
sitting aimlessly, staring out into windows.
twirling my phone, staring at its screen and the clock every few minutes for no rhyme or reason.

feeling pathetic.
and then, stemming all flow with dramas and songs.

i feel like there is no hope left.
so i will move forward.

for once, if only time could move faster.
i am not sure of my own time anymore.

feelings of graduation

12:48 AM

i had more to say, then just this.
but to cut short,

satisfied, to have been given this chance.
emotional, remorseful, for not having said goodbye, goodbye to my friends whom i will not/may not see again.

how can i sleep, when i feel like crying.
i wished i cut those ends cleaner.

my tears to a page of pixels

6:55 PM

Labels: memory

dont, please.

6:42 PM

all of you and them,
im forced into this little corner of space left,

my heart shredded like little pieces of chicken.
i soak up the pain from every direction in the hot soup i am thrown into.

because i am weak, i am unable to support, to fight for.
i cannot listen, but only feel my selfishness.

at times like these, i want to run.
to scream, to disappear, to reset.

yet i try so hard, to bottle these, so i wont shout, so i wont tip it over to the innocent

because i am all wrong, to think up all these.

because i deepen my own complex, i fail to accept.

high above

11:41 PM

i am in my state of mess.
my worries clashing my understanding.

i felt like letting go, of all reality.
to leap. into this wide valley between.

but i chose to stand high on the peak.
watching the light and the dark of dawn and dusk.

i scream my pains at the top of the world.
at an altitude so high, high above the clouds, i wonder, if anyone in this world would have ever heard.

rather, i doubted anyone in this world would have heard.

am i, the only mountaineer in this range.

Labels: expression, memory

the things i wanted

9:37 PM

perhaps, i am convinced now, that the things i wanted of the present.
no longer exists.

perhaps, my short life left may not have been a bad thing then.

daydream

6:13 PM

yawn i just woke frm a nap.

a summary from my daydream.
playing psx emulator on the com.
the man ticks me off.

some shouting.
some calming down. which was amazing, and totally unrealistic.
and then in a chen shuchen look of compassion which was imbued with sarcasm, he asked.
"have you ever tried your best"

hahaha. i said i did not.
that wasnot what i aimed for in the first place.

i saw a clock, and woke up.

i need

12:46 AM

i want to redo my whole blog one day.
when the day comes when i get the skill and inspiration for blogskins.
i will split my blog into two.

is ok if i dont get my message across. yet.

i think its wiser for me to section the two sides of me into two different places.
its, more convenient for people who want to view only the casual side and spared from that so called "cheeminess" or mystique.

mm. i guess, i should i have understood.

anyway, to give myself a little entertainment, and to my friends.



a thai commercial, random, yet intersting how ideas can flow.
