This song was from one of my favorite albums of Hillsong.

Enjoy!

True Worshippers - Captivated by JPCC cover

I know Ha0 its not what you expected. In the end I could not do the song, its too fast, and chord change was too much. But hey, this is another song I tried. Did two videos today, next one is upcoming!

Great... Just Great...

Today, not much really happen today. Save that I did my modeling of the polar bear head and now the nose of the bear looks like a pig. Oh boy.

Then comes my mom, telling me to find a Job at Guardian pharmacy near to my house. Which I got the job. Yippee!

After which I manage to complete two songs and post it on youtube. Yippee! Again.

Aftre that? Attempt Savior King's Savior King. And I capo the guitar, in the end, wait not at the end, in the middle of the song, when i'm strumming casually... TWANG! POP GOES THE WEASEL! SHOOT THE NUGGUTS! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! OH MY TIAN!

The guitar string caput on me. Yes Enling, I'm sorry, furthermore, the string that broke, was not the OLD string... BUT THE NEW ONE! How weird is that?

Anyway, this is an... EMERGENCY! I HAVE 4 DAYS TO FIND STRINGS, BUY THEM AND RESTRING IT! AND MANAGE TO GET THE STRINGS IN TUNE BY SATURDAY!!!

or... I can borrow Weiloong's acoustic guitar... I know I'm panicking, but its not my guitar you see, its the cell group guitar! And I spoiled it! AGAIN! AND NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF CELL GROUP!

Great... Just Great... Thus the title.

Oh my modeling....

Welcome back to another issue of 3D common sense. Heres an update.

I've already submitted my storyboard, and boy, some of my classmates can really draw their CHARACTERS! Its too amazing. I've seen better storyboards than me too. I kinda feel out of place as the people really could draw and only one of them I can see can't draw as well too. But even so, it was a great experience to just watch how their storyboards were corrected as the animation they thought of was too many movements for one man to do.

Now, we were giving a new assignment and that is to MODEL our Character, the scene(background), the various props and animations that is found in the storyboard. I have LOADS to do. I mean, all I have is a Polar bear, an igloo, a ice plain with mountains, and animated cracks. Very little huh?

CERTAINLY NOT! Just this four can easily kill me! LOL! Especially when my knowledge of 3D Studio Max is not as Strong as one of my classmate, also named, Clement.

I have to give all I've got this week. Must finish the ice plain and igloo today(Monday). Probably the animated cracks the next day, and the rest of the week, the character. Hmm... Or probably the other way around... ARGH. Ok its the other way around. Character first.

Rie made another guitar vid again. SHE HAS SO MANY! Can't believe it. Also, I'm starting to think how Gail is doing. Wonder if she is still reading this. LOL!

ANOTHER PERSONALITY TEST!!!

This time its the bomb man! This personality test really like very professional. Lol. Just give it a go ok?

Here are my results:

You are a Benevolent Creator.

about you

You are a Creator

Your imagination, confidence, willingness to explore, and appreciation of beauty make you a CREATOR.

You are independent, and you enjoy your self-sufficiency.

Defying convention, you are very innovative, and you have a vivid imagination.

The look of things is important to you, and you have a keen eye for aesthetic beauty in multiple arenas.

You have a strong interest in what is new and exciting—and that includes forging ahead with new ideas, not simply discovering what is already out there.

Your eagerness to seek new and varied experiences leads you into many different situations.

You're not set on one way of doing things, and you are creative when it comes to finding novel solutions to complex problems.

You trust yourself to be innovative and resourceful.

Your confidence allows you to take your general awareness and channel it into creativity.

You're not one to force your positions on a group, and you tend to be fair in evaluating different options.

You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.

You tend to do things on the spur of the moment, not sticking to a set schedule.

You have a strong sense of style and value your personal presentation - friends may even seek your style advice from time to time.

Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.

If you want to be different:

Appreciate the earthly, practical elements of things—there is beauty in form as well.

While you are good at thinking abstractly, focusing on details a bit more may help you discover things about the world.

how you relate to others

You are Benevolent

You are a great person to interact with—understanding, giving, and trusting—in a word, BENEVOLENT

You don't mind being in social situations, as you feel comfortable enough with people to be yourself.

Your caring nature goes beyond a basic concern: you take the time to understand the nuances of people's situations before passing any sort of judgment.

You're a good listener, and even better at offering advice.

You're concerned with others at both an individual and societal level—you sympathize with the plights of troubled groups, and you can care about people you've never met.

Considering many different perspectives is something at which you excel, and you appreciate that quality in others.

Other people's feelings are important to you, and you're good at mediating disputes.

Because of your understanding and patience, you tend to bring out the best in people.

If you want to be different:

You spend a lot of time taking care of others, but don't forget to take care of yourself!

Sometimes you can get overcommitted, and when you sacrifice spending time with those close to you, it can make them feel unimportant.

Storyboarding, its not that Simple...

What have I been busy with recently?

Well, I had homework from my course on Film animation. Had to do something called Storyboarding. I'm not even halfway done! I only sketched a few panels and still have more to go. But it was fun. I mean, I felt like a director when I did those shots. However, my fleshly nature has been telling my body to go and sleep on it. Which sadly, I have been. I can't keep on sleeping on it! I have to get it done! Theres still Character Design to work on, Modeling, Animating. However all this cannot be done without a storyboard. FOCUS! Clement FOCUS!

Oh ya, what is storyboarding? Some of you who have already been through film school, you should know, for the benefit of all those NOT in film, which is the majority of my peers, lol, I shall explain.

Storyboard is the backbone of a film production. It contains pictures as well as all he information needed to get the story done. If the story is crap, its not worth showing anyway and it will be a waste of time to do the film, the storyboard is thus, the planning stage. Planning the script, manipulating the camera, the lights, the sound, the music, the effects, all these are written down and drawn out on a story board.

Yes tedious work. Sometimes I wonder why I like planning only in the area of stories... Hmm... Perhaps I just want to entertain. However, being an entertainer is not enough. I have other plans in store for my animation. Some may not understand and asked "Why animation? Why not just write a book or something?" Thats the thing, I can write, but not fluently, not with captivation like certain authors. However, i discovered that as I read, i have a rather pictorial image of what is going on. Some which I exercise a lot when I write my stories. Ya ta all story tellers do that.

I can't draw, neither can I write, but I felt that I can see a direction in movies that is my style that I know, film production is limited. All the things I envisioned are probably going to get criticize, but who cares. I am who God created. He has a purpose for me, I'm going to give all I got for this animation.

But wait a minute! I just realized I still had another Course to completer! Bioprocess technology... Maybe next time. LOL! I know procrastination... I shall start today then. *Sigh* Lots to do. Life is always this busy.

Jesus Loves Me Cover

This song maybe childish to some. But yet a simple song such as this reminds any Christian what child-like faith is all about. Its a song that can touch the hearts of man and taught when we were young yet we somehow neglect. Remember, Jesus Loves Me, for the Bible tells you so.

Life goes on...

Surely, it has been a days of sorrow, for not just me, but to some others as well.

Yet we all can see a new light ahead after entering the dark tunnel. Its just there, waiting for us to enter it. However, we only noticed at how long the tunnel is, and not the end of the tunnel. You see when there is light, shadows will form. Depending on the angle the light shone, the longer the shadows are. If the light is intensified, the shadow gets darker, and more opaque.

Still, the LIGHT is there! Never lose hope. Never think that it can be done. Its going to be hard as the bigger the dream the higher the adversaries, and the higher you stretch yourself. Never give up. Stay to your path, straying from it will be inevitable at times, but not too far away. Press on, press on, press on in your prayer and fasting. Keep on keeping on, to read the word.

Recently, I've been strumming my guitar on the oldest songs, one we even sang when I was in Sunday School, or children's church:

Jesus, Loves me This I know
For the Bible Tells me So
Little ones who him Belong
They are Weak But He is Strong

Yes, Jesus Loves Me
Yes, Jesus Loves Me
Yes Jesus Loves Me

For the Bible Tells Me So

This is only one verse and the chorus, there are two more verses.

Jesus Loves me, He who Died
Heaven's Gates to Open Wide
He will wash away my Sin
Let his little Children come in
(Chorus)

Third verse:

Jesus loves me when I'm Good
When I do the Things I should
Jesus Loves me when I'm Bad
Even though it makes him Sad
(Chorus)

Why am I bringing up this song? Well, I wanted to encourage you to see for yourself, that this is the innocent child-like faith that we need too. Perhaps the song is simple that was why it was for children, but it holds a great meaning that we often dismiss. The verses carry a simple message, have you loved Jesus? Even if you do not love him, he still loves you, because you know this by reading the WORD of GOD.

Just wanted to share. Cheerio!

I seem to be starting to look at flashbacks of what happened in church! Oh btw, Rie, THIS is Carola!

Kong Hee - Fourth Dimension (AB2007)

Truly, something to watch and visualize.

Another Loved one... Went to the Lord...

I just received news that my Childhood friend, Josiah, his Dad, passed away...

I heard the news after I have ended work. I spoke to Junjie as he gave a miss call so I called back. He immediately told me that he heard from Annie, that Josiah's Dad passed away. I was shocked.

I immediately called my parents to ask if they have heard any thing about Josiah's Dad. They said they have not received news.

Mom: Why?
Me: Just now one of my friends called to say that His Dad passed on.
Mom: Really? Ok I'll give Florence(Josiah's Mom) a call.
Me: Ya please do. I'm really concerned.

And i meant it. I was rather lost in thought, in fact my mind was a total blank as I went home. I wanted to hear the news. That it was a fake. But in the end. It was true... Jason, Uncle Jason, was gone.

It was news that was a SHOCK to my family. We just saw him this CHINESE NEW YEAR! He was healthy! I mean we visited his house, he was a LIVING TESTIMONY! He had went through tough days of battle against his health and he has always been faithful to God even through his trials. He even said "Praise God, that I am healed." He was a man full of faith and full of gusto. Despite what he went through, even though he was skinny to the bone, he still praise God.

A huge inspiration. A uncle I never had. I mean, Josiah and I were CHILDHOOD Buddies. Sometimes, I just had a wake up call. This is the time in my life, where more people I love, will start to vanish. All the more, I should treasure them. All the more I should spend time with the friends I lost and I want to get them back to God.

One things for sure, I may grief over him. Grief over the Chua family plight, but ultimately ONE THING I am sure of... Jason, has Gone to Heaven.

I can't say anymore. Its been a rough day.

Omega Weapon...

Yes this is referring to the Final Fantasy's greatest enemy... Omega Weapon. Its crazy I tell you. I was playing Final Fantasy 8 just now and I finally went face to face with Omega Weapon. It was a DEVASTATION! Why did he use the Terra Break attack the moment my Holy War effect ends? WHY! The Terra Break just killed off my main party... Thats just, CRAZY! AND! WHY DID IT HEAL WHEN THE BOOK SAID IT WAS ICE WEAKNESS??? I set all elemental attacks to Blizzaga too... What is wrong with this game? Anyway, I have not defeated the main boss, but I'm not going to, unless I kicked Omega's Butt!!!

Well, other than that, the whole day was trying to kill off Ultimecia's Servants, stupid power sealers... But they were rather easy taken down. Manage to unlock all and now have to face Weapon. Ultima Weapon wasn't as pain as Omega... Whatever, I think I'll try again tomorrow...

By the way, New Video bellow!

3D Common Sense - Lighting

This time its about Lighting. We learned modeling of the house before, and now lighting. Its not that simple you know. There are again many technical stuff again, nearly fell asleep because the lecturer to be honest was quite monotoned. But at one point in class, we perked up because we started talking abit about Flash, games and all that stuff. That was the only enjoyable part.

After that we were more attentive in lighting and its true purpose and how to light up a scene. There are three lights needed. The Key light which has a highest intensity of light or multitude for 3D Studio Max. Then Fill light which is about more than 90 degrees less than 180 degrees from the first light and its horizontally moved and duplicated. So that it shines on the other side where the shadow is.

The last light is the BACK light. Now this time, we duplicate that light by copying and rotating the source to the BOTTOM of the scene. There we eliminate the shadow at the bottom and TADAH! You light up a scene!

Oh yea today had some free time so I did a Cover on Jakarta Praise Community Church's latest song, Allelujia to Christ the lord. Enjoy!

I've made 3 attempts in this before I have the confidence to post this on the 4th try. Well enjoy, its still not perfect. Watch out for other videos of me if you want to. LOL!

Came to the Rescue - Hillsong United Cover

"Should all aquaintance be forgot"

This is just a note to my late Great Grandmother.

I may not know you alot. Yet you still are part of the family. Every relative is someone significant and you are also significant. It has been a hard Life for you, adapting to situations nearly I could not imagine how you could live it out. You have put up a real good fight in Life and now, laid to rest in peace. Never worry, never falter along your new path, but I know you will be strong, wherever you go. Rest in peace and God Bless.

Now onto my main topic. Well, it has been a rough week for everybody. I mean, my aunts were all keeping their composure ever since their Grandmother, which is my late Great Grandma, passed away on a Monday, 7th April 2008 at about 11pm at the confirmed death time.

Today on the 11th April 2008, she was lead to cremation in one of the most hi-tech cremation areas I have ever seen. That was the irony when we reached there, we, as in almost everyday who was their first time there, were in awed at how high tech the place was set up. So we watched through glass panels as the coffin was lead into a door where the furnace could be seen. There were shouts like "MOTHER! SIAM!" meaning "get out of the way mother!" get away from what? Well, the fire actually. It was a rather silly claim that if they say that, the body somehow won't be burned. But everyone knows, that the body will be burnt. Yet the family still said it.

When we returned to eat a vegetarian lunch, well it was catered, we had no choice but to eat the "flour" that looks like meat. But it wasn't so bad. Everybody was feeling all ok and happy after that. So now we have to move on.

I guess I mostly disliked funerals. I mean, the dead was laid over there by the void deck. Then for those who are budhist they tend to perform all those joss stick burning and bowing before the coffin on their knees. Another word for it is to Kow-tow to the coffin. Of course being Christians, we shall not bow down before other Gods or idolatry, so we refrain from bowing at all. We still did the walking around the coffin and throwing chrysanthemum flower petals around. After that there was a band over there that played the song of Auud Lane Syne. Meanwhile, the relatives and family members will give their last farewell by talking to the coffin.

What did I say you asked? Well, I said to her "that it has been a hard life, yet you obtain peace in your death. Go steady and God bless, may the Lord be with you. Amen" I just spoke on impulse, but after that, tears begin to come. We have lost, a family member.

Mixed Feelings Day... More sad then Happy

Today... I just got back from Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

No, I'm not injured. Let me explain this from my workplace. It was a mixed feelings of happy and sad day today.

Before I left my office, I was told it was my last day at work. Wow. I was happy at the instant she said that... Then I went sad. How am I suppose to pay up for my school fees now?

Yup so I left the workplace just like that feeling two feelings at the same time. I doubt anybody can do that... Well except probably my aussie friend Gail...

Anyway, the moment I was about to reach Tiong Bahru Station, I received a phone call from my mom. Actually, she went to the hospital in the early morning to visit my Great Grandmother which have been hospitalized as she was in critical condition. So this time, it was after work, about 6.30pm, she called me to announced, in a calm voice, that she has... passed on.

I mean, I was not that shock, neither am I happy. I was, in-between. My great-grandma has just passed on. All of a sudden images of the past begin floating in. In case you did not know, my Great Grandma had led a very hard life. She had to do loads of things for her children and one of her children was my grandmother which I dearly love. Yet this Great Grandma, had to work a living for her kids and of course by then, my Great Grandpa was not around anymore. So she had to slog it out herself to raise money for her children.

So there I was, talking to my mom and she told me if i wanted to come down to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. I admitted I was a little reluctant as I was on my way to Sean's house to practice 3D Studio Max. However, I knew in the end I would go. For the sake of encouraging other relatives as well as to be there when such situations happen. So i did. I went down using MRT.

On the way to TTSH, I met my Japanese Teacher from the Community Centre which he taught us. Suzuki-sensei was with his wife. I can tell. But I did not see his face. I tapped his arm and he went. "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh."
"How are you? Genki?" I was smiling. I mean, I haven't seen my sensei and now he's testing me my jap. Well, thanks to Rie I knew how to answer. "Hai, genki desu." He was nodding his head. We did not talk much due to the congestion inside the train car. So I left with a "Sayonara" and he did the same.

I know I am going about random stuff so bare with me. It has been a long day.

On route to TTSH, I was thinking about the times I spent with my Great Grandma. They have not been a close one. I always remembered that she had golden false teeth. She was really friendly during Chinese New Year and I remember we had to shake her hand and get Ang Pow's from her. That was when she had both her legs... Yes, due to some disease, i belief its cancer, they had to amputate both her legs. Actually it was suppose to be one. But they discovered another growth and then they had to cut that too.

I mean imagine. You can't WALK. Forever, wheel-chair bound. I sometimes, admire her because of this. Somemore your self-esteem will be affected. I mean you have ABSOLUTELY no legs!!!

So ya about the memories... I only remembered the times we spent for her during Chinese New Year, its all so vivid. I mean, I was a kid when she was still healthy. And she will always put on that gold teeth smile. I would greet her, and she will go "Good boy".

Hey, but we were not that close. But no matter close or not. We are still part of the family. And relatives are your flesh and blood and thus, we are all in this together. I went to see her in the ward. Her body was still there. Just laying still, her eyes closed, with the breathing tube in her mouth.

Of course naturally, you would want to know how she died. I asked my great uncle's wife. She said she went off peacefully. They did not know she stopped breathing because they were dependent on the machine that monitors heart beat. This was after doctor had administered medication. Then as they were pacing around, one of my relatives noticed the breathing bag was not moving anymore, yet her heart show signs of movement. But the doctor confirmed. That once she's not breathing she's considered gone.

The reason why the heart monitor was still reacting was due to the medication. We stayed there for a long time. About 10pm, the monitor finally came to a line. No more sound, no more beeps. When I went in there, I saw all my Christian relatives are praying for her. For God's blessing upon her and to encourage themselves they said they will see her in heaven... Of course I would want the same hope too. So i did. I just prayed that God would at least visit her and talk to her before anything happens. I blessed her and after that we left TTSH.

3D-common-sense

Yes it was yesterday that I attended my first lesson in Animation from 3D sense Media School.

I decide to document some stuff here from the lesson or else I would probably forget. Also if anyone is reading this, you can find out more about animation. Its not easy by the way.

Ok, let me start off by saying, the class was just a class of four people. Pathetic? Not really. It was said that their normal Diploma Course has only 10 students! Wowzer! Anyway, that's 3Dsense Media School. Their motto was PASSION, FOCUS, DRIVEN. A great way for students to become. All three at a time.

Right, so I attended my First Lesson. And the lecturer, Gary Wee, told us a few stuff about the FILM PRODUCTION line. Thus, the first lesson is actually the planning stage as well as some fundamentals and after that, we did a few practicals with the tool called 3D Studio Max 9.

The planning stage was called the pipeline. And Gary stated that in order to animate something, the first backbone was... the STORY. After you wrote the script, then the storyboard happens along with the composing of the music and sounds as well as recruitment of people going to do the voice overs. After that is the Character Design and Environmental Design preparations. Animators will start the modeling and drawings of how the story is going to look like. That was known as Pre-production.

After which the Production occurs! This involves Character Animation totally. With lingos like Rigging, Rendering, Putting sensors, camera angles etc. However, the most intensive part of the process is the PLANNING. So this production part is only a minor area.

After this, is the Post Production where the Visual Effects artist will kick in. They will start doing lighting, fur movement, hair movement, particles eg. Fire, smoke, explosion, things that are made up of particles. After this, You have your credits rolling XD

After which we went straight to theory of Perception. There is 1 point and 2 point perception. There are more to go, its just that, most animators used up till 2 points. 3 points is a means of distortion of the picture. This is the most useful part for story boarding.

Next we went straight into the introduction of the 3D studio max tools and what each of it was for. Of course it was going to be hard to remember what each funtion is. But I just treat it as if I'm learning a new media software, which sometimes I play around with. After learning how the modeling of boxes and other geometry polygons. We then went straight to making a house. It was pretty simple yet complicated and irritating. LOL! Irritating because we had to adjust some polygon surfaces and had to click on every single part which you desire to either potrude or pull back.

Ok I'm boring some people already. LOL! I haven't shared finished but now, I need to go for lunch! I'm late! Blogging @ work again, u guessed it. Cya.

A new story idea! the S E V E N

Alright, I wanted to show my new story idea here! Please I really hope you can comment on it so I can seriously start writing on it. What are your views? Should I continue such a story?

Its a science-fiction novel. I have the inspirations from the show Appleseed. Indeed it was a great 3D animated movie. It is worth the money to buy too. If you love action and females as the main lead? This movie is for you!

Anyway, the story is called SEVEN, enjoy the prologue!


S E V E N : Sophisticated Evolutionary Veteran Enforcer Nuero-enhanced
Written by: Caleb

Prologue… Memory file 15…loaded


“GET DOWN!” yelled one of the men. Fien, ducked behind a broken wall and there was a loud explosion. Debri fell everywhere with some stones hitting some parts of his head despite covering it with both hands. But it lessen the damage.
“Move! Flank them!” Fien heard an officer yelled. He recognized the voice to be Sergeant Gillian. Grasping the MK-3000 rifle he had. He jumped over the wall with and opened fire. He ran swiftly, stopping only to hide behind broken trucks and debri as bullets rained down upon him.
Then he heard one of his men shouted from behind.

Fien saw a shadow looming behind him. And the intensity of the shadow tells him that something is coming at him from behind and its fast! Trusting his instincts, he dived forward and the sudden blast near him sent him diving further. He landed on his side and quickly turn to face the shadow. It was a Harbinger. That was what the rebel forces, the Advent, called the humanoid mech. It was a mech that mimics the normal human movements. In other words, it follows the exact human motion within the mech. It was sleek and deadly, and the Marines had a huge number of it.

Fien was not afraid. He immediately took his rifle and fired at the joints of the mech. The Harbinger was smart enough to show its armored side. Fien saw that the Harbinger contained a side minigun and saw the beginnings of its rotation. With quick reflexes, he somersaulted in front of it as it opened fire. He slide between the mech and fired a volley as he did. A splash of blood splattered his face and the Harbinger ceased. Just when he thought he had obtained victory. He looked around and saw that he was totally surrounded. His comrades were all dead, even the sergeant. All the Harbingers pointed their huge versions of their HR-AP-50 rifles. One blow from their 50 rounds and the human body is immediately dismembered. Fien glared at all the Harbingers.

“He managed to defeat a Harbinger. What is he?” One of them spoke, their radio was set to open channel.
“That was just a lucky shot.” One gruff voice said.
“Huh, if you had not watched him you would have immediately disagreed.” Another piped up.
“You were watching?” questioned one. A female voice.
“Hey don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about the Harbinger’s scope abilities.” Said the guy who watched him. He could not just stand there and hear them talk. He was fast enough to let loose a flash bang and the moment he let go the clip he put on his googles. There was a ‘pop’ sound and immediately a very bright light began to shine.
“WAH! Where he go?” Cried the lady.
“SHOOT! SHOOT!” The guy who piped up said.
“WAIT! DON’T SHOOT MORONS! WE ARE TOO CLOSE-“ The gruff voice spoke in alarm, but it was too late. Immediately shots were fired. The moment the flash was gone, only 2 mechs remained.
“Oh my GOD! WE KILLED THE COMMANDER!” One of the soldiers became hysterical.
“Where is that BARSTARD.” The lady was still alive.
“JAN! GET OUT OF YOUR MECH!”
“WH-“

BOOM!

An explosion occurred on the under side of the mech. It was instantly down. The other mech immediately shut down and went offline. The cockpit opened to reveal a soldier inside. He removed his arms from the arm coupling and then, grabbed his rifle by the side of the machine. He came down and was immediately shaking.

Either from fear or from anger, Fien could not comprehend. Yet he was proud of himself from taking down a mech squad all by himself. He approached the pilot from the back. Lifting his knife, he went in for the kill. That was when the pilot turned and immediately fired on him. He felt no pain. Just that he was shocked and surprised. Then he felt a tingling sensation and then, he fell to the ground.

Setting the Boundaries

Its been a long 2 days of filing... Yes, I have been doing "filing" which includes putting files into boxes and moving them to the store ALL BY MYSELF!

I mean, I moved and shifted a whole lot of files from shelves to boxes I have to make myself cause it was in a template form. Then I have to trolley my way to the storeroom and moved and arranged the boxes inside as well as to make space for more boxes. All in all, I would say at least 30 boxes of heavy files I have moved. Wow. Oh and I got a free pillow along with it. It was a Holiday Inn Atrium Staff Night Pillow and there were numerous of it in the store. Got my boss approval to take one. =)

Well I guess I have finally reached my limit to this job. The routine really makes me so bored. Such that I have even started to turn up late and of course I TRIED to not be late. But my body has a brain of its own. Thus, its time I set up my boundaries, a plan as well as a few disciplines that I REALLY need to follow. My problem was discipline, praying for discipline only stirs the Holy Spirit to EMPOWER you to succeed. Thus, in the end, ACTION is required! I suppose I have to learn to sleep early... and I need it anyway...

Probably I should state a rough idea here. I need to sleep at about 11pm latest. *sigh* I need to wake up early like 7am every morning. Erm, maybe earlier than that due to school. *sigh* Practice my animation, guitar, piano stuff everyday, and try to write a chapter a day. Yes, I have been procrastinating my studies.

Well I better end here for now. I pray that all procrastinators, you know who you are, do the same. God desires hardwork and not laziness.

Tired to the bone... More Headaches arises...

Recently, I have been thinking alot.

Ever since Pastor Tan preached on not to Procrastinate, the time is now. I knew in my heart that it is finally time to start something. I did not know it would land on a Sunday... So now, my church days will be Saturday. But Saturday i have work at Sumo, a stall at Food Junction in Lot 1 Shoppers Mall. However, I managed to negotiate with my supervisor to allow me off the hook for Saturday and let me work on another day.

Sure that was the First Hurdle. After that, there was the problem of practice. Where do I get the money to buy 3D Studio Max Software??? Hey, then 3Dsense Media told me that I can use their rooms on weekdays. Wow... A really dedicated school 3Dsense is... Yet my dilemma is... The school is all the way at Dhouby Ghaut. I mean its far away from my home in the West. I would have to take the Red Line all the way back home then the Green Line after my work and I hope that I will have enough time to work on my task and even do something of the task.

Third Hurdle, will I be able to cope with Working, Studying and Animation Studies at the same time? Remember, I am still doing a module. Come to think of it, Bioprocess Technology is not Easy... I need shear will power to get this through....

Last Hurdle, what if, I drift too far away from God? Due to busy-ness. I guess I won't know until I tried. Actually, my mom was very concerned in me taking a liking to animation.
"You must be creatively good as well as talented to be in this field!" She told me. But one of the directors said that all the works done are by shear hardwork. And I mean they slogged till the night, the morning and manage to produce a dew frames. Hey but its still not easy. I guess thats where we need God...

Anyway this are just my thoughts on how this course may affect me. Yet if I analyse the situation? I believed I am pretty blessed. I mean, my friends wanted to try out the course there and now I can witness for them as well as gain the knowledge first hand too. God... I know... Hardwork pays off, and I have been a Procrastinator, I admitted. Its the case for the Trailer Project from our Cell Group. I know I have to REMOVE this habit if I want to be an animator. And I MUST not be AFRAID of HARD WORK!!!

God come and change this area of my life. This so lazy and too last minute person. In the end, planning is needed to shape the project as well as the characters too.

By the way, the course name is known as, Creative Film Animation. Its a one man show and we can obtain our very own demorail. A portfolio of some sort. Anyway, i gotta end here... Sleeeeeeeeepy. ZZZZzzzz..... Ok nights.

Good News! Blog @ Work Fastforward version!

Indeed, I have received Good News.

First Good News of my week: Yang Wei and Elly, my Cell Group Members Just Baptised on Sunday!!! Now their names are David and Apphile. =)

After that, David and I head down to Jurong Point to hang out and we were discussing the usual topics on animation related stuff. Even games are part of the topic. Then we got distracted by a game called Silent Hill: The arcade game. Whoa, it was SCARY! I mean the setting, the boss we fought all were pretty hard to fight! Its a shooting game by the way. In the end, we finished the game and won the whole thing. All in 7 credits cooperative play. LOL!

Had fun on that Sunday.

2nd Good News happened Yesterday: I enrolled into 3DSense Media School for a CERTIFICATE Course in Film Animation. Though it was only one module, cause my Mom, had doubts about me acing it. But I'll show her, like I did in Secondary School. I'll be hardworking in work and my course too. The only downside to this course is, I won't be able to go to Church on Sunday... Had to switch my work schedule so that Saturday after Cell Group I can go down.

3rd piece of Good News: I have two guitar students!!! LOL! David and Guang Jin will be my students from today. If I can only teach them both at the same time... Hmm... Anyway that's all I can blog for now. BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!
