*scratched head*

For once, he just loses his cool...hahaha.

Mika Nakashima - Debut audition video (screwup!)

She's so cute~!!! LOL.

Here's an anime not to be missed if you are a LAME, FUNNY and RANDOM person to start with:

Ouran High School Host Club (Link to Episode 1 part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=serlRjzjJ6A)

Here's to you, Fel~

LOL.

Ahhh~!!! Fel's mum is admitted to the hospital~!!! Omigosh OMIgosh OMIGOSH~!!! That was so shocking when Fel called me moments ago saying that her mum's currently undergoing surgery to remove an abnormal growth from... she only mentioned its a woman thing. I hope it's just some harmless fibroids~! Or some non-cancerous cell growth~! Whichever it is, I pray that GOD will heal her immediately of the abnormal growth and have a speedy recovery~! Mummy of Fel, I will pray for you~!!! HWAaaa~!!!!

~

Gosh, I've been showered with lots of blessings from GOD so far.

Hitotsu (firstly): I got a job

Futatsu (Secondly): I got accepted by NTU into Arts, Design and Media course~!!! HWAaaa~!!! *temple throbbing with vigour*

Thank GOD for all these~! (Love you, papa in heaven~!)

~

Now the worries came...

Hitotsu: Should I stay in the HOSTEL? If I do, I won't be able to serve GOD much anymore and I won't be able to spend time with my family~!!!

Futatsu: What are AUs? Oh my! Why do they say I've gotta have at least 18AUs for each semester~???

Mittsu (thirdly): My my... its a 4 years course... which lumps up to a huge amount of debts when I graduate~!!!

Well, no problem is too huge a problem for GOD, amen?

I pray to GOD that my acadamic and curriculum timetable will not be a super packed one, allowing me ample time to travel home (from Boon Lay to Bishan), rest well, spend time with my family and have time for GOD's work. I also pray that GOD will secure me a great job (not a good one, but the best) after my graduation to glorify his name and too, to pay off my debts asap (I know you guys will think that I think too far ahead but hey, it's never too early to pray :) Besides, it gives time for GOD to work through me). Bless me LORD as I place every aspect of my life onto your hands, in JESUS name I pray, AMEN.

Ok, a big burden off. Haha. Of course, not to be a sitting duck and wait but do something about it too.

Gotta go ask some adults for advise on which study loan to get...

A new sheep~! So exciting! Which also adds up to more responsibilities~! I hope I'd be a good enough shepherd to my new sheep :) This will be a good time to practice on my communication skill (Yay GOD! You are working wonders in me~!).

It's such a breakthrough considering that I used to be skeptical about being a shepherd. There's lots of things I have to learn and I've got to build up on my leadership skill and charisma. It's very important to have these when you want to work in the outside world. And now, I'm learning all these through doing GOD's work :) GOD, work through me as what you deem fit for I know you have secured a future for me!

AMEN!

~

I've found a job. Well, actually it's more like I asked for a job. I will be working at my cousin's tuition centre. Let's see...

...I will be doing typing most of the time and maybe some freelance drawing. Hey, did I mentioned that I do freelance? LOL.

~

Gladly hire me for any lineart projects. Price is negotiable. I will be posting some of my recent lineart to prove my worth as a freelance Manga artist :)

~

Anyway, I got a job and it's $6/hour. Quite reasonable considering that I will be further paid for teaching my cousin's children basic japanese and charging freelance drawing by the piece.

~

While talking to my cousin on the phone an hour ago, she told me Cheryl (her daughter) had completed Grade 5 piano and is now the best scoring Grade 5 student in Singapore. Wow. And she'll be taking her Grade 8 in a few months time and best of all...she's only 9?! Speaking of prodigy. Now here is one right infront of me, who's my niece of some kind...

*clenched hands and smirked evily*

Now, how should I charge for the japanese lessons? Hmmm...Any suggestion? What is the market rate for a japanese-teaching teacher who herself is not a native? Maybe I should plan out my teaching materials first before dealing with this.

Even though it took me so long to secure a job (which I could have asked earlier...Sigh*), GOD really blessed me. I mean, where can you get such a good deal of $6/hour on a job when the company isn't even short of hand? LOL. My cousin is so generous. Thank GOD for her. I hope to convert her someday... just have to find the right opportunity to share to her...

~

If I'm not wrong, my drawing skills is very much sought after, considering that people are willing to pay $5 per piece just tracing pictures. Mind you, it's TRACING, not drawing as yet. See my point?

Ok, no point plainly making my stand and not proving with evidence of any kind. A picture speaks a thousand words, I know. So here's a few lineart drawings for you to feast your eyes on. Mind you, they are my original characters design and it took me 2 hours to complete them (incredible huh?). I work well when inspiration comes. And of course, I work even better under stress. All these lineart are done last minute for an entrance portfolio to be sent to NTU (see what i mean?).

Here goes:




















^This is not my character design. And it's obviously 'L'. But I chibified him. It's my original design idea though :)





















^This, is one of the 2 hours marathon drawings.




















^Yup, the 2 hour thing with a little touch up using fireworks (the dotted speed lines, hearts, speech balloon and speech) ^-^;



^Muahahahaha~!!!


^Oranges, anyone?

You've got to read this:

One day, an American, an Italian, a Singaporean and a Bangladeshi travelled around on a private helicopter.

After an hour of travelling, the American took out his cigarette (Dunhill), lit it and started smoking. After two puffs, he threw the remaining cigarette away. The others were surprised and asked, "Why didn't you finish up the cigarette?"

He replied arrogantly, "There are a lot of cigarettes in my country.".

Half an hour later, the Italian took out a bottle of branded perfume, applied it on himself and threw the rest out of the window. The others were surprised and asked, "Why did you throw away the perfume?"

The Italian replied haughtily, "There is more of it from where I came from."

Seeing all that had happened, the Singaporean didn't know what to do and suddenly pushed the Bangladeshi out of the helicopter. The other two were shocked and shouted crazily, "WHY DID YOU PUSHED HIM!!!!!!!?????? "

The Singaporean said slowly, "There are a lot of Bangladeshi in my country ..."

*stay calm* ...

Waa, that's so mean and racist~?!? >:(

NAKASHIMA MIKA - SAKURAIRO MAUKORO
中島美嘉ー桜色舞うころ

One of my most favourite songs sung by MIKA. I so love it! Hey, I know how to sing this song. Hahaha~!!! Maybe I'll post me singing this song one of these days...

NAKASHIMA MIKA- HITOIRO (ONE COLOR)
中島美嘉ー一色

Ok, after much thoughts, I think I still want the armour ring (drop the tablet!!! ARGH~!!!). 6-.-

Anyone knows where I may get a similar choker that MIKA wore?

P.S.: If the Ring is unaffordable, I seriously don't mind the choker as a second option :) *hint~hint*

Recently, my Deleter XP-Pen tablet had finally failed me. Somehow, the tablet and pen doesn't seem to be in sync with my computer...The circle I drew on the tablet looked like an amateur squiggle on the screen. Realizing that my tablet could no longer serve me, I was depressed (am now still). My 100 bucks gadget had been reduced to what is now a white plastic board with stickers and wires...totally unusable.


Note taken: I need a new tablet.


If you think it is just one of my many wants, you are wrong. DAMN wrong.

The tablet..., is my LIFE (apart from papa in heaven, DUH!).


Here's what happened if i live WITHOUT A TABLET...:

...I can't draw on my persocom

...I can't edit my lineart

...I can't add beautiful colors to my artwork (cos it is by a hundred times cheaper and more effective to color my art digitally than manually)

...I can't experiment drawing with new softwares!!!

...I can't...I can't...


ARGH~!!!! I just feel kind of handicapped. I love drawing on paper BUT drawing on tablet gives me room for easy editing. Yes, easy editing. That's the most important factor. It SAVES TIME.


ENOUGH SAID.


Days ago, while i was surfing the web (as usual, I really had nothing to do...) i chanced upon this:















http://intuos.jp/

So cool~! It's one of the most precise tablet ever! Akin to drawing on paper. The tip of the pen is pressure sensitive, meaning easy control for thin and thickness of lines~!!!

I can't believe that such tablet exists~!! It's so pretty...so sleek...so...USEFUL!!!!

(and very expensive too T.T)


I will trade my Vivienne Westwood Armour Ring for THIS! Or the H.Naoto collection that I wish for! Anything that matters~ Oh~! I want one~! Humph~!

~

Finally, my very first showcase...I apologise for the delay, I'm kind of lagging recently:

















*Drinks Coke* AaaHhh~ isn't it cute?
