Let’s blog. Part 1

How long has it been….. Almost three months.

So 3 months ago I was underage and now I’m 21.
Shall try to type in proper caps while I remember.

So what have I done in this 3 months that I can actually talk about?

1) Posted under Registry/Visualisation team in a MINDEF department.
Let’s see… There was a huge event right at the moment I came into the dept.
To make things short. It was extremely busy and tiring. MANY overnights. But hey one thing nice was I get to overnight in a 5 star local hotel~
With that, I get 2 days of well deserved off; actually I thought another friend and I deserved more LOL.

2) Living pretty much like an otaku.
Heh… Thought I already did? Well actually yes. Not much change about my lifestyle. I still watch anime a lot. But I started buying moar figurines.
Deadly and extremely poisonous hobby. And yea NPNT. Let’ go through some pics in chronological order.

Tamaki Kousaka Temptation Ver, My 1st scaled figurine. 1/7 in scale. The day I bought her; the feeling was indescribable. Extremely poisonous feeling. 87 bucks.

Saber Figma~ This is a real steal. Got it from someone online for 28 bucks for such a rare and hard to find figurine! Very posable. GREAT STUFF!

Alice; A super cute figurine that I bought on impulse. Without regrets though! $30.

1/5 Yoko from Gift. She really mesmerised me the moment I see it online.
Struggled long and real hard and finally gave in to preordering it. $137

Nagi Nendoroid. The cute girl with blue hair~ (Guest star; Shana Nendo and Kagami Figma)
Forgot to do a proper photoshoot of her. Will do soon. She’s really super cute but very very pricey for such figurines.  54 bucks

Haruhi Gekisou Version. She’s a SERIOUS beauty.
1/8 in scale but the level of details is the highest that I have with me. (Not that I have many figurines but this is like WAH) Got it at 110 bucks.

Conclusion on the figurine conquest:

BROKE

So let’s go through some anime I’ve watched.

Macross Frontier. There’s 2 things I love about this anime. One is the background art; absolutely stunning work. Skies are so beautifully drawn! Certainly one of the best out there.
Next is RANKA LEE! She’s SOOOOOOO CUTE. She just appeals to me DAMN A LOT. Content wise… Most fights are epic, but the story didnt have the oh-I-so-want-to-watch-the-next-episode feel. The last episode was kinda bland with quite a cheesy ending. Ah… One thing I forgot to mention is the splendid OST! May’N is WIN. Diamond Crevasse is made of IMPACT.

Bamboo Blade! Wah… Great stuff. I started watching like for 4 episodes long long time ago and it was in chinese subs. I was lazy so I put on hold UNTIL ALMOST FOREVER.
Recently I dug out my animes and decided that I should watch this since so many people recommended it. This anime will get you hook on slowly. Characters are nicely carved out and the comedy is just LOL at times. I love Tamaki! She is so Moe! ATOMIC FIRE BLADE!

Still watching many ongoing animes but let’s just leave to next time.
Head on to the next part of the entry.

1 month

this one month feels long yet short.

yes it’s exactly a month since i’ve enlisted.

10 more days to poc. it’s freaking damn fast.
to a large extent i enjoyed it as i made good friends inside.

since i cant talk about what’s going on in my army life. let’s talk about some observations i made

the bad:
1) you cant imagine how NOT toilet trained many people are. shitting out of target, not flushing properly and anyhow throwing used toilet roll. u can even see FOOD in URINALS LOL?
2) some people just cannot listen to simple instructions properly. eg unfold ur card boxes so the rubbish IC (which is me) can throw away easily and efficiently. throwing rubbish in toilet that has no rubbish bin.
3) this is just specific to a bastard who tore of my drawing and almost refused to return to me until his buddy asked him to return me. didnt even apologise. fucked up people.

the good
1) i honestly cant expect people in c9l3 to be enthusiastic about army but i’m definitely wrong. i have some really great platoon mates who really drive our platoon and make it a really fun experience
2) friendship, like duh. well it’s true that the tougher ur times are the stronger friendships are forged. c9l3 cant get really tough as it’s obvious. but well u still do find really nice people around.
3) sergeants. this is just to my platoon’s sergeants. i got really nice sgts and i’m really grateful of that. not to mention my PC too, fantastic encik.

alright generally described wad i felt and observed in tekong

let me type this down b4 i forget.
it’s like been almost 2 yrs. so long ago yet seems so recent.
i had a dream about you. a freaking vivid dream which doesnt really make sense

i dreamt that my mum arranged a wedding (dun ask me how she did that cos it’s a dream) for me and u (LOL?)
when i came to know about this news i was really shock and at a loss of what to do since i know we’re at a huge distance now.
as days draw nearer i begin to feel more and more tensed, somehow hopeful somehow knowing this will go wrong.

in the end it’s obvious that the wedding is gone case.

well nonsensical dream. but it made me realise u still do hold a place somewhere.

but bleh no worries just typing it out for the sake of sharing.
hope you’re good at work and with people. i probably wont need to say this actually LOL

anyhow i’ve watched fate stay night anime. and this is one lovely figurine i’d really wanna get. but seems like preorders in sg’s shop are all closed and sold out. do i really have to resort to asking people to help me buy using credit cards?

Last post

as a civilian.

going in tml with my mum
7 weeks bmt

pes c9l3

alright, army stuff aside
let’s talk a lil about wad i was doing

1) 1.5 months spent in takahan’s studio doing anime drawings and background.
i can totally feel myself improving alot. in terms of workflow, completeness of work
1.5 months ago i dunno how to draw background at all. now i’ve accomplished 10-15 pieces.
all looking pretty nicely done IMO.

watched anime
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni

a mystery-murder story which involve cute little girls killing each other
overall i enjoyed it quite alot

but i must say u must be patient to last thru season 1 as sometimes u seriously just wanna say
wtf is going on?

season 2 reveals anything u wanna know and the actual story opens up.

alright.. and hence i continued watching several ongoing anime like clannad after story, toradora, soul eater

and then, my 2nd sis finally gotten married to her husband after 11 yrs of long running relationship
it’s pretty amazing if u look at the society now. such relationship is rarer than striking lottery i guess.
both’s each other’s 1st love. sweet eh?
i did the wedding montage for them, kinda hurried and rush cos of my work though.
the wedding is a little chaotic, i didnt get to sit with my sis also. sat with a bunch of mum’s china friends.
and i tell you, they attack the food with no reservation so it’s stressful LOL

next, i bought 4 lucky star figurines
posable figurines called figma to be exact
words are useless without pics

cute eh…. of course. they’re my darlings.

alright, i abit dunno wad to say liao.
take care everyone and heypi niu ear

mmmm

new blogging interface huh

alright that apart.

i’m just kinda tempted to say that the main girl in skip beat
constantly reminds me of u as i watch the anime

it’s been really long since then anyway

now it feels like the aftertaste of…….. i dunno wad food i can use to describe

nothing bad or good.

just that i dunno why lately

maybe almost every night when i settle on my bed to slp

ur name, just ur name alone and nothing else will appear in my mind

anyhow i watched ip man with stanley and zs

GOOD STUFF. holy fighting scenes and donnie yen really brings out the character nicely.

MUS T WATCH

note that ipman has nothing to do with james lye or vr man

pronounce ip man as eep mun, cantonese

海角七號

海角七號

a taiwanese made movie that has broken alot of box office records

supposed to watch with stan ken jer
interestingly NONE of them turned up. but not a bad thing, i enjoyed the movie myself.

this movie is slightly more than 2 hours
i see people in edmw commenting that it’s too slow paced and draggy

i personally find the pace very soothing and comfy
it takes its own time to tell this love story that happened 60 years ago which slowly becomes parallel to that of the main characters.

to me the letters in the movie were so nicely written i actually shed a tear towards the end of the show.

the soundtrack isnt spectacular but it warms my heart.

if you are into romance and want to enjoy a simple story told in a… heartfelt way
this is definitely one good movie.

i started working again
pay’s honestly not alot
but i get to learn wad i wanna learn which is definitely a good thing.
i feel like i have alot to say…….. let’s see…

yesterday i meet with the usual gang for mind cafe
on the way up to plaza sing, i past by u. but i nvr notice at all.
it’s only until stan and ken told me.

i thought such thing can only happen on movies but i’m wrong.

life… is unique. lol. you’ve become so distant i only remembered the you with light blue jacket and tinted neck-length hair.

and so i visited your blog and saw ur photo, and realised the hairstyle you have now is the hairstyle i’ve been drawing on girls every now and then.

well LOL it’s nothing special since this hairstyle is so common.

sometimes when i’m about to sleep, i fall on my bed. your name comes to my mind, but there’s no memories of you. nothing else. just ur name that comes out of nowhere.

and so as i was saying, i visited your blog. i looked at your photo, i used to fret when i see you so happy since i wasnt receiving any happiness from you.

but this time i smiled, i have no idea why. but i guess i have let it go totally. just a lil harmless fragment of you.

i learnt alot. so anyway. even if u might nvr be reading my blog, my best wishes for you in whatever you do.

i guess watching this movie has made my thoughts flow better. it’s a comfortable feeling

brother.

it’s been a mentally taxing month.

literally.

tension between my sis and i is really getting to me.
but i’m glad i didnt do anything stupid like resort to violence, which i almost wanted to
i controlled myself.

dun really feel like typing down what happened

just tired.
and disappointed.

i just wanna say, i dun think i’m a bad brother.
nor am i a bad family member.

all i want is peace and the sense of belonging.

they have to be taken away, and now taken away by my dear sister.

ironic.

let’s hope things will become better.
let’s hope i can find a good way to settle this.

enough on negative stuff.

i’ve gone back to drawing for about 1.5 months.
i can see the difference. the improvement.

and encouragement. from?
artists’ works.

some artists i admire, and i look at their old works. it goes to show.
alot of times it’s not just about talent. it’s just hardwork and hardwork.

and so i’ve been dilligently trying to learn and absorb back wad i need do.
perspective drawing, tonal values, illustration, lineart, coloring

everything.

and why i started drawing? because wad inspired me to draw from the start has inspired me again.
anime.

alright.
i’m getting damn sleepy which is a good thing.
i’m sleeping earlier and earlier as i observe.

goodnight.

EF – Tales of melodies.

seems like the 2nd season of some animes are really getting good.
this is the anime continuing from the 1st series, tales of memories.

i dunno how to describe this story.
but i wanna talk about it’s presentation.

the way the story flows and how it’s being present is really out of what i’ve seen anywhere.

to the extent of disturbing.
mentally disturbing.

but dun get me wrong. it’s good.

if you watch the 1st series you prolly remember the phone scene.
if that’s disturbing, ep 6 of this current series will blow you away.

just very… literal yet visual way of presenting the story.
it’s so abstract that it’s literal
it’s so vague that it’s jarringly obvious

don’t get what i’m saying?

watch it lol

alright guys.

first of all update some important things.

dunno if i have mentioned it but anyway let’s start again

i’m currently a C9L3 and my enlistment date is 28/1/09 bmtc sch 2
7 wks modified BMT

and in case you are wondering what’s C9L3

PES C9 – All servicemen not required to take IPPT.
L3 – Fir for operational duties at Bases only.

alright done.

some anime i’m watching

kannagi

to aru majutsu index

and yet another epicly lame anime
hayate no gotoku

it parodies many animes like wtfbbqomg


ka** no kizu dedicated to my dear karty

and this is a lancel** for karty too!

though it has no storyline
i thoroughly enjoy it

i’m at ep 19 going to 20
52 eps in total

cant think of much constructive stuff to say

nostalgia

filled the room.

first of all, i was playing a visual novel. yes, it’s a hentai game but stop. the story is really quite nice but depressing however. and so after playing i turned on one of the soundtracks from the game. a music box version of one of the themes, which had a very soft and seemingly sad tune.

my winamp is on repeat mode so the bgm just looped and looped while i had to clean up my room cos uncle’s gonna pick up all the unwanted stuff tml for garang guni.

as i was tidying things up i saw many things.
red cross beret covered with dust.
one whole box of sketchbooks i’ve done all the way till now.
photo album from since i was a baby
some photos from red cross last time
some design fundamental assignment (oh well i threw them away)
a empty diary (titled as DAIRY, handwritten by me eons ago)
a box of fingerboards (some really expensive skateboard looking toys which u use ur finger to play with instead, pretty cool actually)
old army letters i received from last yr to this yr
a whole bunch of red cross notes which i treasured in the past (dumped still)

as i saw these stuffs the slightly sad bgm was looping over and over again.
cant help to feel slightly sad as well. especially memories like red cross. how enthusiastic i was
how full of drive i was. but all these just seem to zoom past and slipping off me pretty damn effortlessly.

sec sch wasnt much for me. all i could prolly remember is my chemistry teacher, muslim rice stall, and red cross. the rest was more on sganime. all the usual drawing outings and how i improved over the years.

poly life pretty much zoomed past me too. and it actually feels like i’ve gone back to square one.
why? i’m finding my way back to drawing anime. not a bad thing, actually it makes me feel like i know myself again. just a little discouraged that despite putting effort, my deviantart gallery still feels very neglected. that’s not gonna stop me from drawing more anyway.

typed pretty damn alot of words for now. last part is dedicated to the photo album. i was looking thru it. 2 things struck me.
1st was a photo where the aunt who’s currently living in my home was carrying me as a baby. it kinda made me felt a little bad for how i’m treating her now. (oh well sometimes i think she deserves it for being such a parasite to this house and my mum.)
2nd was quite a few photos of my mum carrying me and smiling really sweetly. that brought a warm smile on me. and i feel glad that i’m on very good terms with my mum.

k it’s time to do a breakthru, almost 500 words!
few anime i’ve watched/been watching recently
shakugan no shana – great anime with very interesting and complex concept. looking forward to season 3
detroit metal city – this is HARDCORE humor. the epicness can rival gurren lagann (not the same way of course)
nanatsuiro drops – pretty lame looking but super cute anime. as reviews have mentioned, the main girl looks seriously very moe.
toradora – only 1st ep out, voice by the same actress as shana. very interesting character designs, in terms of their personality. very good humor. palmtop tiger ftw!
clannad after story – only 1st ep out too, feels pretty different from the 1st season. the 1st ep was quite captivating compared to the whole of 1st season. very good start.
nogizaka haruka no himitsu – hmmm… not very motivated to watch on but i’ve downloaded all the eps. ep 1 seem like a normal romance story to me. i may be biased. will put it on low priority.
kohime munsou – looks like some ancient china settings with heroines trying to correct the corrupted world. didnt really feel motivated to watch on either. but well i’ve got all the eps for this too.

yes i’ve said a whole chunk of crap that i doubt people will understand. simply put it this way.
WATCH DMC CMON. if you’re bored or feeling depressed, watch detroit metal city and u will not look life the same away as it is again.

alright, i believe this has got to be the longest post i’ve ever written.
before i finish, saf says my pes status will come in within 2 weeks time. I HOPE i can TRUST them.
