._. So I've just survived one week at my new school...I must say that I'm still suffering from abit of culture shocku....@_@ It's really quite different from what I am used to at NYP...
Monday. Went to school for briefing of some sort. It's basically a really brief explanation of the modules and the assignments we'll be having for the first five weeks. ._. The first thing I noticed is that...there's no lecture halls. The briefing was held in a studio and everyone sits on chairs, with the projector showing the powerpoint slides on the WALL.
Apparantly, in terms of facilities, perhaps Comm design isn't as good as DMD.
Day 2, it's my REAL class. I was the first to reach there...and was rather apprehensive due to the fact that I wasn't even sure if I am at the right place or not. The lecturer came later on...and entered the room, so I entered it, and asked if there's a class or something. I THOUGHT THE LECTURER WAS A STUDENT. Turns out, he's a part time teacher I think. After yet another few more minutes of waiting alone, the rest of the class flooded in....and I was suddenly struck by the fact that...hey, ALL OF THEM KNOW EACH OTHER. D8
One girl approached me, however. Her name's Melissa...and she asked if I am a new student and stuff...got my contact no. and email and so on...I asked her about the class, wondering if my guess was correct, and apparantly, it was. All the other students in the class shared the SAME class in the previous term. DX I WAS THE STRANGER THERE. But she introduced me to the class (sort of) and...well, they are pretty friendly I guess. ._.
Class starts, and the first assignment is given out. A group project to make a 30 seconds advertisement with the theme 'Chill Out' (the lecturer goes on to say that '=_= yeah, I know, it's lame. But it's in the brief'. He didn't really like the module structure though ._. he finds it boring~)I was kinda at lost...since...DX I AM NEW. But Melissa offered to let me join her group... ._. and so, I kinda made my first friends at Lasalle.
Let's see how many people I've known so far...Melissa, Wanru, this blond ang mo from swiss whom I have no idea what her name is but she's in my group, Debby, Alan(...I think? He introduced himself after Melissa introduced me to the class on Tuesday...)...I think that's about it. .__.
Wednesday, we had Design Studio...which is like...erm...studio project kinda? In which you work on three assignments at the same time and they all have the same deadline which is WEEK FIVE. @_@ The teacher is a guy...who's quite cute lah. LOL~ He's a foreigner, and...he's abit niang. ^^;;; But he's quite nice~ :)
Thursday, I had project meeting or the Chill Out thing...where we settled the story board and the music stuff... ._. I'll need to work on the basic concepts for the Design Studio projects during the weekends...@_@
---
My thoughts so far...the culture shock is...probably due to the fact that I am rather used to NYP's system. In which you don't get homework so soon when school starts. And each module will usually have only three major assignments, and you learn the necessary skills as you do them. At Lasalle, it's different...you learn the skills and stuff AS you do the assignments...and it's more hands on...alot of sketching and writing and stuff...AND EVERYONE THERE SPEAKS ENGLISH. DX I was struck by the sudden realisation that my English isn't as good as I thought it was. @_@ Another thing is...during each lesson, there's a class exercise...It's rather intensive I guess...very different from NYP in a sense.
Considering that I'm currently in the last year of the Diploma course, I compared it to the year 3 stuff at NYP...and realised that the difference is probably what they decide to teach you. ._. NYP gives students more experience in the industry with the FYPJ and Attachment programmes...however, it's a double edged sword...you either sink or swim, since many people tend to end up slacking during FYP and IAP (ahhaa, like me =_=) and when they get back to school, they find it hard to start being hardworking again...thus the rather bad results. I sincerely thought that those who studied first, then move on to IAP and FYPJ got better results. ._. Or perhaps that's just me trying to find an excuse for my procrastination at DMD. =_=
Dad wants me to ace in Lasalle, but I'm actually doubting my abilities...DX I have this feeling that my skills are not as good as my classmates...since they have learnt skills to produce graphic art...typography and stuff...@_@ I haven't touch typography SERIOUSLY since AGES. I'm pretty lousy at it actually. Yet one of the assignments is solely TYPOGRAPHY. @_@ Urgh. So right now, I'm pretty much stressed from worrying that I am not up to standards. T__T
On the bright side, the head of Comm Design (forgot her name) says that I can email her a formal letter regarding the HK trip to take leave for week 10. 8DD I hope things go well! >__> As for now, CONVINCE MY DAD. DX

THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU
Also known as 'Subarashiki Kono Sekai', which is a DS game that I had been playing for a few months now...Mainly cause I was playing the japanese version two months before the english version came out~ :D But I changed over to the english version soon after I got it.
For those who has a DS, I really reccommand playing this game. Last week, I finally finished the story...and, man, I shed a few tears~ ;__;
The story revolves around this boy named Neku, who finds himself one day with no memories at all in the main streets of Shibuya. Later on, he realised that he had been enlisted into playing the Shinigami Game, which is basically a survival game. The game is held in a world that is identical to the real Shibuya, and players get there through their deaths. Players has to get pass seven days or be erased forever. If they managed to survive through the seven days, they will be allowed to return to the real world alive.
The story is separated into three chapters, in which Neku has a different partner for each chapter. The battle system is unique too~ Neku battles against monsters and creatures known as 'Noise' with pins that has unique powers and you can train them up and level them through various methods. In a battle, you share HP with your partner, so if your partner dies, you die too. *_* You can also choose to operate the two characters at the same time, or u can just concentrate on neku and your partner will be on auto fighting mode.
Honestly, this is the first RPG that I seriously played. I'm not a RPG person....most of the time I play strategy games.....but this game has rather straight forward controls and after awhile, you get the hang of it.
Battles can get rather hard sometimes...especially with the last few bosses. I seriously HATE the final boss. He made me died for 5-6 times and I have to keep trying cause I can't save. *sighs* In desperation, I ended up beating him in Easy mode, sacrificing the chance to get more battle points as well as a special and powerful pin, just to watch the ending sequence.......in which the final plot twist appeared.
>____> Damn, it was worth it.
After completing the game, you have to now clear requirements and get reports, which is what I am doing now~ There appears to be another additional chapter called 'Another Day'....AND IT'S HILARIOUS. XDDD It's an alternate universe to the game world, where the characters has different personalities. Aw man, I had a good time laughing my head off as I played it. XDDD
I hope I can finish getting the reports though......*sighs* Beating the bosses at hard mode is horrible work. ;_; I wonder when I'll finish them.
...orz

Spent the past few weeks slacking mostly...and working of course. I'm currently teaching two primary school classes~ And man, they are rather hyper. LOL~ But it's still quite fun so far. :D
I'm accepted into Laselle for the August intake...which means that school is starting in august. I'm glad that I'm accepted....but at the same time, I'm worried about the classes. *sighs* I hope I can cope well. @_@
Hong kong wise...I wanna go...but my dad's like saying 'if you have classes, I don't want you to go'...he wants me to concentrate on my studies and all. So yeah. ._.
Ah well, we'll see how bah~ *shrugs* 船到桥头自然直~

Last but not least....been practising drawing with my mouse again...and I think I'm improving! 8D
Here's my latest work~ ^_^

._. Stuff
Haven't been updating for awhile now...so here goes~
Went out with dan, sagara, skye and kie to sing at Cash studios on Vday~ XD I had a great time~ 8D Too bad they didn't had 'Kufufu no fu' or 'Sakura Addiction' yet. D; I do hope they put it up soon! I wanna sing DBSK's newer songs as well...but the latest songs are from the 'Summer' album...and that's like a long time ago. Singing 'Love in the Ice' by myself is lonely! I wanna sing with neesan. >__<
Sang Ouendan's songs as well...and I'm like 'omg, I haven't played it for a long time'. :x Had been playing Phoenix Wright instead...so I kinda neglected Ouendan...X_X
Speaking of Ouendan.......I wanna buy a ds lite. +_+ Am planning to get my sisters to sponsor a little...XD;; Probably getting it next week >__>
--
Anyway, I started reading Eyeshield 21, cause of Sagara. LOL. It's quite...nice, in a exciting way. I mean, the physics they have there is almost like PoT, which is impossible in real life. ._. But I like the tactics they use...LOL~ Quite interesting~ :D
I'm more high on Oofuri instead~ <333 It's an anime/manga about baseball, and I was pretty skeptical about it in the first place (cause I'm not really interested in baseball). After much pimping from my online friends, I decided to watch it...and it's brilliant. The anime is brilliant. I think it was produced last year...and let me tell you this. It has the best animation I've seen in a while. I've stopped watching anime last year cause of the dropping standard in the quality (in terms of colouring and animation). Really, as much as I love the manga for D.Grayman, Reborn, Naruto, or Bleach, I can't bring myself to watch their anime anymore due to the lousy animation quality (especially Reborn! X__X).
In the middle of all these anime, there's Oofuri, with its 25 episodes, in which I've seen quality animating of running, pitching, and basically in-game movements. Damn nice. *___*
The story is simple, but nice, in a heartwarming way. Seeing how caring the teammates are towards the main character makes me smile like an idiot~ 8D
So yeah, right now, I am oofuri-high~! 8D
--
Grad show in two weeks time...ORZ I am so dead. I really want to revamp my website...and I'm probably going to make it simplier...don't think I have alot of time to put in too much flash animation. T_T
Anyway...if anyone is curious...Here's my website.
._. please be warned that it's damn pathetic. ~_~ I'm not happy with it, but this is the end result of much rushing. *headdesk* Er, and please use IE when viewing it... it doesn't work on Mozilla for some reason. ORZ I'm still trying to figure out why. =_=
And yes, I'm so going to change it.

Been working on Mike's commission...came up with three, but I'm not really happy with them. ORZ YET I AM AT MY WITS END. T__T So yeah, I'm just hoping that it'll be good enough. *sighs*

p.s: I wanna go japan. T_T

...
When I woke at 6am this morning, with barely 3 hours of sleep, I'd never thought that it'll end up to be such a day.
Minutes before Dan called me with the news, I was still fretting over my presentation while I wait in the corridor for my turn to come.
I picked up dan's call. She was crying. And I was wondering what happened and all...
I thought I heard wrongly when she told me about david.
All that went through my mind was 'omg'.
And before I knew it, tears were leaking out of my eyes and I jus can't stop them, even though in 10 minutes time, I'm due for my presentation.
Washed my face twice and nearly calmed myself when another teacher saw my swollen eyes and asked wat happened.
After I told him, I began crying again and he called Ms.Pat out...who later postponed my presentation to another day.
It struck me real hard when the coffin opened at the crematorium that...hey, he's really gone. And he's not gonna join us for any more pracs...and we won't see him perform again...and we won't hear any more lame jokes from him, or see his funny face...
He looked like he's asleep, lying in that coffin. I guess some part of me still think that he's alive...
I wasn't a close friend of David...but, he's someone whom I've talked to, and we'll like wave at each other if we see each other at school or something...and I remember his Da Zao performance and how it made me laugh and all...
To david, rest in peace...we'll all miss you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR~!
Wao, how time flies eh~? So many things happened in 2007...and yet it felt like everything just happened only recently...
2007 is a...okay year for me~ :) Not too great, but not bad either. I went to japan and australia for the first time in my life...and experience the cold weather that we can never get in Singapore! ^__^
AIMF is probably the most memorable~ thinking back, I thought 'Ah, how nice if I can relive that experience again...'
Studies was...so-so, I guess. IAP is an eye opener...though I wished I could have done better. =__= FYPJ seemed so far away now....*__* And modules...=__= I experience my second 'near-fail' event in my three year stint in this course...
It's so close to graduation now that I really can't afford to fail anything...x__X Have to buck up and do my best for my portfolio too...@_@
For my new year resolution...I have a few~ Firstly, I want to graduate without any accidents...graduate safely from DMD >__> Secondly, I want to get into uni without any accidents too...^__^;; Thirdly, cosplay...^^;; Finally got back to it after a year of absence...Hope I can do a good job of it this year!
As for CO...well, I'm not sure if I'll go back after graduating...cause of many issues involved. .__. To be honest, I felt my eagerness for CO had died down recently...and I don't know if it'll go on or if it's temporary.
Ah well~ I'll just take things a step at a time for now...^^;; So yeah, Happy New Year, everyone! 8D
