The greedy fish is OK already, no longer does it emo on the bottom of the tank. It's very active now even at night when it's supposed to be sleeping. Does it even sleep at all? Stupid greedy fish, even though it's full it's still asking for more food, making a mess of the tank. Hahaha. I sound like a certain someone. I have't found a name for it yet, so I just call it fish. Reminds me of the time I kept that lobster a few years ago. My friend's called it Lobby but to me it's just Lobster. Unfortunately, it died when the filter stopped working right after it moulted =\

So maybe this fish won't die so soon eh? But when it gets bigger I definitely need a bigger tank.

O.o

fish

Astronotus ocellatus is a species of fish from the cichlid family known under a variety of common names including oscar, tiger oscar, velvet cichlid, or marble cichlid. In South America, where the species naturally resides, A. ocellatus are often found for sale as a food fish in the local markets. The fish can also be found in other areas including China, Australia, and the United States. Although its slow growth limits its potential for aquaculture, it is considered a popular aquarium fish.

My little oscar is so afraid right now of it's new tank. I read somewhere that oscars are known 'sulkers', meaning they get emo when in a new environment. I'll just have to wait a few days for it to adjust. I doesn't swim much now, just lying floating at the bottom most of the time.

I'm working. Haha yes hard to believe right. I'm doing game illustration and concept art for a friend of mine from school. Can't say I'm very good at it cause I'm not trained in doing concept art but it's quite fulfilling actually. The good thing about the office is that there are tons of graphic novels and cool reference books to browse through.

WAH. I went running two days ago (after having not run for two years - last official run was the Singapore Poly50). And it hurts like hell lah. I ran from Julie's place all the way to ECP. Well not all the way. I walked, about a quarter of the journey, if not half. I don't know exactly how far I ran but I know this - I am so weak. So so weak.

hi

A change of scenery for the new academic year. Enough of the boring plain nonsense.

These few days have been spent working and watching the world cup. I'm working as an artist doing concept art at 'witching hour studios'. It's basically illustration/design work and technically I'm working for a friend of mine from school. Pretty cool eh. I get to have my own technical drawing desk with tons of reference/graphic novels to read and a pretty cute laptop (it's small but works).

The world cup this year is really unpredictable in the sense that you never know if the game's going to be entertaining or not.

Moshi.

Oh yes I can has free wi-fi internet.

First day in Malaysia, KL and it's not so bad. Im staying at this budget hotel at Maluri. I'm surprised to how Malaysia is quite accessible these days. Fortunately for me I'm near the RapidKL mrt station and it makes travelling way easy (except for when i took the wrong line by accident). The food here is cheap (duh) and not so bad. Went to some japanese eating place for lunch before going to KLCC area to reccy for the homeward-bound bus. Had dinner/supper at a kopitiam near the hotel and you know what, like almost every makan place here has the world cup on. HAHA so cool lah. But I am so envious of the 3 little pigs in Manilla right now. They must be having the time of their lives WITH people they know and trust and stuff. Going to Bayu's opening tomorrow at HOM.

Sometimes I feel I'm lucky enough to be surrounded by people at home. Every single one of us is so different from the other, all having different influences and different main interests as well. I wonder, where we will be in the future. I used to be taller then every single one of them and look what happened. They're at least half a head taller now and still growing, especially the last one. But I'm still the eldest though, nothing's going to change that.

At least late nights are never lonely.

HADOUKEN!

Like finally, assessment is over! (friday isn't counted silly it's only submission) Now is the time for movies, games, gym and more soccer. Not to mention more hang-time with the counterpart. Half of my gang is overseas, still stuck with their NS shindig. To Sam and Hafiz, all the best as you await your return back. The we can watch the world cup or something.

Assessment went quite well to my surprise, though I didn't have a lot of drawings and sketches and side stuff. Setting up wasn't quite bad. Maybe that's cause we're used to it by now. I actually had fun setting up the stuff on the wall (coming from a dude who finished almost everything already early, like Jianwei) Isn't it awesome all the printmakers were gloriously put together all on the same wall? That's quite cool. It's like we're together or something. But big kudos goes to the sculpture people. Their setup really felt like an actual gallery space. Lucky them they had to do an installation.

Year 3 is approaching but there's like this thing I have to do before I get there. Some travelling thing. Still having mixed feelings towards it. It's kind of like something you CAN do but requires a lot of effort and how much do you really want it and, have you gone too far in to pull yourself out of this? I don't know. But with much of this assessment gone I can focus a lot better now.

Concept-wise, I am blank (as usual). I don't know if the comicky nonsense I've been doing is working. One thing's for sure though. I'll want to do anatomy (muscles muscles muscle drawings!), something religious-ish or intimate and stuff that'll fuck shit up. Seriously. I'm going to practise my drawing skeelz during this holidays - like shading and stuff, haven't been doing that and composition and proportion shit. Basically YEAR ONE stuff which I think is really important. Put it this way, a musician will practise the scales and stuff for 2hours each day before moving on to pieces. So as an artist, I feel like I need to do that (draw still life/figure stuff) everyday. [Freudian slip - i havent been sketching =O]

Haven't blogged like this in a long while.

If you look at the first row,

there is a letter called dzal.

It's a dzz sound.

Omg I have no concept.

zombie-pocalypse

Hey Jules!

Well that depends on the zombies. Over the years, zombies have evolved from being slow-moving, pathetic, falling-apart, combustible and easy to kill, to being fast, agile, smart, able to wield weapons (resident evil ones) and posses superpowers (left4dead ones).

If you're defending against the slow variety it is absolutely no problem at all. Pick a ranged weapon (rifle, machine-gun) and a melee weapon (parang, longsword, spear). Note that the melee weapons I state as examples have a certain range to them. You never know what might happen if you choose to stick with a knife. Very dangerous, very risky.

If you're defending against the 21st century zombies, good luck to you. You need a ranged weapon (preferably semi-auto) with 4 times as much ammunition you'd probably get, a mid-ranged weapon (handgun), several knives and a dagger. Arm yourself to the teeth for this one.

Of course as with both varieties, stay in groups and look out for each other. Defend your territory well. Have a rotation of patrols and shit. Heck I don't know I haven't even gone through National Service.

But I know what works.

A lightsaber!
