Unicorn in TDS

At 1450hours yesterday, a Unicorn was sighted roaming around the campus is TDS. The sight surprised quite a number of TDS students and even an unexpecting lecturer, here is a footage caught by an onlooking civilian:


Ok ok, alright alright, enough with the news reporting rubish~ looks like the unicorn's identity is fully exposed now. Anyway, for the peeps from yhss, don't be dissapointed with my unimpressive stunt, i know you guys are used to seeing me do much more crazy stuff, and for those peeps at TDS. Ok, i understand, it's your first time seeing anyone like that, but don't have to act surprised or what coz YOU AIN SEEN NOTHING YET! hohoho~ One of my stunts include wearing a sparkly silver party cowboy hat with the McDocald's "special order im loving it" sticker and travelling all over singapore on a photography trip.

Anyway, lets move on to other stuff~
I shall talk abit about lecturers/teachers visiting student's blogs.
From the rumours i heard, apparently Moses does pay unexpecting visits to blogs of TDS's studs, and even quote phrases to use them during his meetings. Also from the rumours i heard, he once played a video on one of his student's sky-diving for the whole TDS to watch during one of the Genesis meetings.

My point? Nothing much concerning me really, just letting my TDS readers know that he's looking and try not to write anything bad about the school like per~say block teaching systerm? or maybe the work or ect~
Don't worry i have zero fear if his reading this right now, im used to having a particular teacher constantly paying me visits.....Ahem..NAZ..Ahem.
Naz used to be my form teacher back in sec school, and boy does he have free time to leave bombshells all over his student's pages, im not sure if he already found this new blog of mine(which i think he already did), but i think just as an experiment il try to pull off something one of my friends managed to. Here's the actual text lifted from one of his posts:

"ohh yes mr nazri! can you taggg my blogg? LOL. if you dont i shall post pictures of you here LOLOL. okay just kiddingggg. o wait maybe i should!" -Param

Param, i wonder where you picked up that twit style writting but it's a damm piece of shyt. Civilised gals don't use that, and furthermore, YOU ARE A GUY!

And guess what MrNazri, about the quoted phrase from param's blog, same thing applies to my blog, I've TONS of pictures of you at your worst including the dreaded "End Of The World" picture, i think tagging is the least you can and should do as appreciation for free entry to your stud's blog which im pretty sure they desperately want to keep you out of.

Now then, to my 3rd subject~~
=ASSIGNMENTS=
The very word can send waves of bone chilling shivers down your brittle spine. All i have to say is the work load is getting close to critical mass. I guess being in the dead middle of a modue, it's about time i feel some of those infamous "Poly Pressure"

But truely, it depands on your subject combination, some modues don't really have that much pressurising assignments and for those that have, you might only be having 1 modue on that block. Take drawing essentials for say~ My pals at Vcomm seemed to be having a mountail of work load to complete from it and thus have to balance the workload from their other modue. Me however, my drawing essentials is somewhere around the 3rd or 4th block and the good thing is, thats the only modue for that block. So well, depands on your luck really...

But currently, my luck seems to be pretty crumpled with all the work, my dad's even getting abit concerned over why do i get new assignments almost everyday, which is abit alarming coz his the type that pushes me to work alot himself hohoho.

Just to give you yhss peeps a glimps of how much work i have to do, my current assignments if about......ok, i have to complete 5 A3 size 3D paper sculptures by the beginning of next week and the assignments were just passed to me yesterday. Back in sec school, if i remembered correnty, the art electives were like 1 board a week, WELL NOT ANYMORE, IT'S 5 JUST UNDER A WEEK, BOOYAAAH!!! Thats probably the reason why i will be burning up my May day break to get a head start, which i'l probably be starting as soon as i'm done posting this.

My classes are from 9am-12pm and 3pm-6pm, my travel is roughly 1.5 hours one way, that means i waste 3 hours everyday on travel. Imagine how much work i can complete in those vital 3 hours? TONS! So well, to prove im a worthy stud, i'l jolly well have to produce work equal to those living around TP.

But don't be afraid of TP, you yhss peeps have to give it a shot, it's not that bad once you get to know more of it, infact im pretty sure i won't choose anything ealse, HAH.

Ok, have to start working on my assignments now
Till next time,
Chow~

Am Oh Aye

Well well, looks like poly is slightly more busy then i expected, but still nothing i can't handle.....YET.
We freshies are saved from the infamous terrors of "ADD DROP" well after all our 1 semester's module is completely planned out. The 2 subs im taking currently includes Ideation and 3dFundimentals.

Yep, if any of you junoirs are reading this i know it's completely out of the box. Not your everyday math, science...ect that you find in sec school. But well i have to say it's alot more interesting then what you guys get. My advice? you yhss guys godda try tp, the travel is really not as bad as you think.

It's abit hard to meet up with my oreantation dudes, but we still go out for meals every now and then.

Gee, whats wrong with me, i lost touch of my eccentric writing style, everything sounds soo robo...

Uh huh~ class, guess it's a topic i should touch on. Class T-O3 of moving images, the one thing i notice about these dudes is well.....they....i mean we, we eat lots and lots of JUNK FOOD. From ruffles to pocky, from KFC to the greasy delights at the Jupiter cafe, we just loooove junk food. And besides junk food, just about half the entire class watches japanese anime and reads manga. I've honestly not been in such a situation before, i mean, back in yhss, there was only like 3 or 4 people that knows a thing or 2 about anime, but now it's like the entire mob...Pretty much explains the reason why eveyrone wants to take up animation as their major sub in year 2 onwards. Me however, yes i enjoy watching anime and reading manga, but NO i'm not planning and i have completely zero intentions of taking up animation as my major subs, i still want to be a movie director (sry, no offense). Well the good thing about it is some of my classmates have plans on creating their very own home grown animation studio, which i hope could help me with my original manga title which im secretly plotting under the shadows, oh ya, if you ask me about it, the most you get will be contents of the first chapter, everything ealse remains top secret.

Class size is about 26. I feel alot better in a smaller class like this one, back in sec school days, everyone have their own mini group which they'l stick to for like forever. We have the "nerd group", the "badass group", the "emo group" the "pink girl group" and ect ect~ But not here in MOI, everyones A-OK.

Anyway, some of the coming week's highlights would be
-Wednesday's 9am-6pm class (H3LL YEAH!! Prepair to suffer)
-Outing with Roger and Ram to watch Iron Man on friday.
(do let me know if you wanna join in, prefably davyn peeps, coz we'r probably gonna watch in jp, and i highly doubt any moi guys from the east would wanna travel that far)

Oh and er param, do prepair buckets of correction fluid,
god knows what i'l do to your bandage *digs the store room for nippon 3 in 1*

Till next time,
Chow~

Welcome to school~

Greetings chaps, it's "Hyped" and im back with my next post.
well sorry to keep you guys waiting. I initaily wanted to blog about my oreantation camp which was by the way hands down, flat out awesome, but it took too long and i got lost along the way, so well yeah~ i ditched that, besides you can find dozens of blogs with those infos. Save me trouble with all the messy discriptions.

I'l just kick off with a quick intro on the guys and the gals and its next about day 1.

The Guyz
Zan- Big, botherly, all around nice guy, gets you in the mood.
Ben- His Teck Seng from way back in sqps i wonder how he got his new name.
Kai- er, his those sorta cool guy that you have no idea how to discribe.
Hansel(spelling)- Tall, red head, smooth talker~
Shoon Wei -Very smart, somewhat laid back, chats every now and then.
William - One of the group's GL, from taiwan, nice guy to chat with.

The Ladiez
Valerie - Fun to chat with, Bishoujo type? O_o
Vanessa - Seems sporty, wear's interesting shirts (kiss my airs-nike)
Yuki - Great dancer, rather chatty.
Marie - Don't talk much, but nice to chat with when you find a topic.
May - Cool, collected, and fun to chat with.
Liting - World's first ever MACHO WOMEN, loves stepping all over guys playing contact rugby, speaks with a malay male's accent
Wafah - The epitome of urban coolness, so far the only one i know from MOI, very chatty.

Yea, i know, their lots and lots of ladies, theres only 5 guys in my oreantation group btw and about 15 more girls these numbers excluding the GLs. Heard theres another team with only 1 guy......YOUR THE MAN!!

Ok, Now that i'm done with the brief intro, time to move on to day 1, i'l leave the oreantation up to your imagination, just don't think of anything dirty.

MUSHROOM, the term given to that round roofted shelter thingie just after the overhead bridge entrence. That was the meeting place of the day. Who planned it out? The GLs of coz, I'l have to thank them for this one coz it has nth to do with the camp.

Aaaanyway~ it was a long walk from shroom to the convention center. Made me realised the sheer titanic size of the other schools.
Next, GENESIS meeting commence, don't ask me why on earth is the meeting called genesis or the irony of why the director is called Moses, it's just the way it is and i find it rather cool.
There was a cool video on the camp, too bad i can't find it anywhere online, plus loads of other stuff at GEN, studs overseas, awards, and oh yea, the magic show hit the spot, it was utterly hilarious.

After Gen, the Co. and I went for lunch.....or well so i thought~ half of the bunch got broken up along the way and all was left was Val, Vanass, Shoon and I. Food was good, and we also found some random topics to chat about, after all their briefing is at 1pm, thats THEIR briefing. We chatting about eh~ lets see...
psps? dramas? anime? Short chit chat, but pleasent, by the time we'r done it's time for them to go fo rtheir briefing...then again, it's THEM.

I had to wait 2 more hours till it was my turn at 3. Geez~
The wait was both boring and painful, thankfully i had my handy file and a few pieces of blanks to doodle on. It wasn't untill late 2+pm where the MOI studs started to gather. The contents of the briefing was well~ expected, however the way they delivered the msg was not.

So well then whats my impression of the lecturers?
Funky, casual, but serious at work.

Boy am i gonna 3 crazy years ahead of me, Let the adventure BEGIN.
Till then~
CHow~~

=START=

It's been 5 long months since the day of the last O'lv paper. Many things happend since. The results, the mad rush of course hunting, the jpsae interveiw, the going back to school, the outings, and the countless days of rotting at home.
Well all i can say is it's finaly the time for this snake to shed it's old skin, coz the day have finaly arrived for a brand new saga as i embark on a new adventure infamously known as......POLY LIFE.

Screw acads, screw math, screw science, screw all those stuff. It's different, poly is different, no more acad subjects no more brain breaking QI filled twisters. Theres only 1 thing on my mind now. To be.....Le~ Best.
(MrNaz will be thinking, oooh i can do better if his reading this)
NOT A CHANCE NAZ, IM GOING INDUSTRY STANDARD NOW, IT WILL BE A MATTER OF TIME WHERE
YOU FALL AND I REIGN......ok thats abit too dramatic.

Anyway, im having a serious sleeping problem. Incase you guys have no idea, i'm blogging this at 2am in the morning. Not a big deal really, i normaly stay up to 4 but the problem is that i have to be there at TP at 8am. And yea~ i live at lakeside. Travel will be about 2 hours so i will have to wake up at 5 and leave at 6. Something tells me i'm not gonna get an ounce of sleep tonight.

Well, it looks pretty much like i'm gonna get juiced up pretty badly over the next few days. Tuesday isn't the camp yet, but it's still a full day of activities and i'l prolly be to sleepy to blog about what happened. Expect my next entry to be on sat.

While i'm gone for a good amount of time, i'l just give some of you guys some stuff to indulge in that well i really enjoy. So it's a good way of knowing me better.

TOP GEAR
A very popular british show on automobiles. Not your everyday car show, it's utterly hilarious. Trust me on this one it's mad. Prob is...i don't have british TV, so well, what i did was go to youtube and watch just about every top gear clip i can find and believe me, it was a blast. All i can say is, in that show, the cool will look unbelievably awesome and the funny will blow your head to atlantis.
Here's one of the funny clips from the top gear.

Of coz crazy is not the only thing top gear has. The crew does some really cool stuff like maxing out the top speed of the fastest car on earth and racing aircrafts. At this point you might be wondering,
Am i a car type of guy?
Answer, No.
I never was, but this show delivered it soo well i just had to take notice and boy do i know much about european cars now (im not a pro though, i just know some stuff)
That was the very video i told roger and ram to watch. Ram did and he went bananas after that, Roger has yet to see it, so i thought it would be nice if i posted it on my blog, after all, he does visit every now and then.

If you really enjoyed that video and want more, all you have to do is go to youtube and search for "Top gear".

Anyway, i have to find a way to sleep or if i cant, find a way to keep myself awake in the day. Till next time,
Toddle-O~

Trolley Trouble.

I'm sure many of you guys probably went shopping with your momzies and dadzies.
And i'm also sure some of you guys are made to push the trolley everytime you shop in a mart. In case some don't know what it is, a trolley is a shopping cart, this you insert a $1 coin to use.

Problem is. I hate pushing those carts through crowded marts.

See, my parents both have this problem of walking way too fast. If one of them stops to check out something (normaly my mom) the other won't know and go zoom all the way forward, leaving ME in the middle of both of them trying to keep the group together. Sometimes i feel like im babysitting them.

But when shopping in a super/hyper mart, it's a whole different story. Both the chaps have their own things to choose and they go off zoop~ in a flash leaving me lagging behind. I oftern have to chase after one of them and yes, through all the crowd. I'm sure some of you guys know how it feels, how annoying it is to maneuver a trolley when soo many people are going in all directions blocking your way, overtaking, turning and stuff. All i could see is the figure or my parents fading smaller and smaller through the sea of people. Sometimes all you every want to do is to run as fast as you can in a straight line, knocking over everything in your sight just to get to your destination. So well, that got me thinking, since i had some free time after i came home from that chaotic shopping trip, i deviced 3 ingenius designs for trolleys i would most enjoy running in a straight line with. Here's the 3 models.

Oooooh The Beauty~!!!!!
Oooooh The Grace~!!!!!

Simply makes you wanna grab one of those, run through a crowded mart screaming:
"THIS IS SPARTAAAA!!!!!"

Ok, thats about it for this entry.
I'm very sorry but i won't be able to show you some of the shots from yesterday's speech day as the camera and memory cards arn't mine, so all the photos are in someone ealse's com.

Updates include:
Re-link of Nick's blog URL
and
Removal of Quiz. This is due to a technical problem, i had a few people telling me they done the quiz but theres no results displayed and stuff, so just to save some space, i trashed it.

Ok, See ya next time.

CLANNAD Anime title Review

Right, i feel really lucky today. Had a neat hair cut and escaped both big pouring rain and bird poo bombardment. (Yes it went splat a meter infront of me at the train station)

Now back home, not too sleepy and yes some free time. I was initialy thinking of more practice for my drawing but nah~ I'l give today a break and instead, bring you another review. Hold on a sec, some'ones at the door.......................................................................................................................................!!!!!........................................................................OK!
I'm not faking this, 2 dudes from TP came down personaly to hand me a letter while i was writing this post.

Anyway, back to the topic.
Today's Reveiw will be on CLANNAD
A relatively new title from Kyoto animation, yes the same people that brought you the infamous Haruhi.

Main characters are like your typical 1 guy surrounded by few girls. But trust me on this one, there is zero ecchi, absolutely none of those "KYAA!!!" stuff
The visuals were very VERY stunning. I personaly felt it was slightly better then "The Melancholy Of Suzumiya Haruhi"

The comedy is good, characters very well made and story even better directed. However, i felt that it fell short of the drama season Kanon2006 which i felt had a better story line. But it's without a doubt that clannad has the better characters.
Both shows had the same back ground music kinda feel.

It's a pretty well rounded show, but my only dissapointment was that it failed to conclude as well as some of the earlier arcs. The ending felt abit rush and had little depth compaired with it's eailer epps or Kanon2006.

Overall, i'l give this show a 8.2/10
Although i pointed out it's bad points, it's really not that bad and
I highly recomend this to anyone that can take abit of drama.
Very good animation, Very well directed, Very enjoyable.

Anyway,
I'l be off for some photography as it's yhss's speech day tmr.
I'l try to post some shots if their nice.

See ya.

Last Prep for my PSP

Yup, almost everything is complete for my psp, i went down to JE's cash coverters with Param on monday to check out some of the games there. And it seem the sellers probably know a thing or two about popular games. Coz the RPG ones are more costly, about 10 bucks more. There were ALOT of football and golf games, infact it took up about 70% of the collection they had. ALl sold at the same price which was 28 bucks. Whats more? I saw a classic title, Space Invaders...my jaw dropped to the ground like an anchor. WHY ON EARTH IS SPACE INVADER STILL A GAME FOR SUCH A HIGH TEC CONSOLE LIKE THE PSP??? Anyway, i got some racing game, it cost 28 too. But the only reason why i got it is so i could run ISOs on memory cards, not coz i like racing. Infact, when i check the net, that game was rated pretty badly. I started of playing Roger's Bleach, then i move on to Param's specialty, Ace Combat....And finaly, the one that i'm more specialised at, Final Fantasy Tactics. It's like chess, but way cooler. The interesting thing is that it's file size is LESS then 1/3 of any of the other games that roger suggested, and whats more? It's the best rated of the lot.
The openning animation wowed me, im serious, it's soo good i'm having doubts that it's only 200mb. So all i need to get now is a decent 4G card and I'm all set for the long poly travels.

Anyway, i poped by school today for IFCC, which yes, i ended up drawing more manga instead of doing IT stuff. Param was bored too, he was in a daze and before we knew it, he was sound asleep......while sitting upright. HAH! i took a photo without him known but well since i'm a nice guy i won't post it here...ahem...who wan come find me.

I also finaly managed to contact TP's design school. It took them long enough. For some unknown reason, it seems like their line is busy every single day...till today that is.

Btw i'm going for a hair cut tmr and probably some photography for friday's speech day. If i do have some free time, I'l post another anime reveiw tmr.

Till then,
Chow~
