For someone in a forum!

Base on a photo. Something new for me. Not as easy as I’d thought actually.

Bandwagon time.

2 Versions!

I’m just getting lazy to blog.

In any case, I shall start writing my blog in…
Proper caps.

I can’t resist but to post this piece of work I just did.
Referenced from..
Um….

That’s it for today.

number of things happened here and there

net down for almost a month.

etc etc

so these few weeks i feel like i’m running away from anything possible

even drawing.
just slipping my life through despite things i need to do and settle.

we’ll see..

all of a sudden i feel disturbed.

maybe is it because of your latest entry?

that may be it but well.

and all of a sudden i do not know what to write.

life has been decent. just that i do not enjoy becoming an adult LOL.
i don’t feel very adult-ish. i still feel almost the same as i was 3 yrs ago.

been drawing still, rested a full whole week though.
work at ns is hectic for this 2 weeks cos of a srsly tight project.

alright. dunno what to say anymore.

ah… oh yeah new figus coming in… hooray~

All the otaku and army stuff aside.
There’s one thing I can never let go. That is illustration.

When I entered DMD, I neglected it thoroughly. It’s close to a GOOD 3 years that I did not do any illustrations at all.
Personally it’s a regret but there’s no point mopping over it.

Lost time is lost time, what I can do is to press on and go back to what I loved and cherish so much.

I restarted at around september last year, gone back to drawing anime again.
Warming up in september…

Something done in October

November

And I went to work till end of Jan 09. Not much of personal works but I think I gained many insights and skills. Especially when it comes to coloring and background.
So one last thing I did before I enlisted

FAST FORWARD TO NOW.
June. I’ve been really drawing anywhere I can, especially at work place. There’s a tablet in front of me. Pen and papers ALL OVER THE PLACE.
And this past 3 weeks I really drilled myself. And I personally saw some progress.

So my latest work

Pretty not very much appreciated still, It’s perhaps just deviantart. I seriously hope to see my works being appreciated more.
But for now all I need to know is I can fly much further.
AND I WILL FLY MUCH FURTHER. (Is that how swine flu came about?!)

That concludes part 2. Part 3? Maybe yes maybe no.

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.

of missing someone?

maybe not missing.
maybe after watching some emotional anime
maybe just relating
maybe just thinking of the past
maybe nothing to do so think too much

time flies.

sure this season will fly by fast too.

these few days haven been posting anything despite being pretty accessible to the net.

1st of all after having seen u during fusion
there’s always something i remember about u for the past few days.

bla.

anyway i’ve caught up with most of the major animes i’ve been watching namely:

soul eater
skip beat
clannad after story

was really hesitating to watch clannad after story after i finish the 2 animes above it
cos i know it’s gonna be sad from the movie version i’ve seen

let me think… i believe this is the only anime other than grave of fireflies that made me tear.

from ep 18 all the way to ep 22 there are just some scenes that made me tear.
ep 22 especially so

i nvr finish the novel so i dunno how damn sad the novel is
BUT
to me this is very touching
maybe when it comes to romance/family and themes related to death of someone close
i always have a soft spot for them

not to mention this anime has easily one of the highest animation standards for the past animes i’ve seen
very smooth and fluid movements (quite hard to find in animes) and nice actings

it’s amazing how slice of life it is in the 1st season and the 1st half of this season
and suddenly it just evolves into a huge emotional tidal wave

alright i dunno what to say anymore and it’s getting late.

shall talk more soon.

is pretty ok

just a few observations i’ve made again

i realised it’s really different from poly
as in the lives of my army friends.

let’s see

back then in poly:
1) i’m a joker cos ppl do laugh some times (esp liesl).
2) i generally prefer company of girls (easier to chat with, guys are usually not very talkative to each other, at least in my case)
3) i’m more of a listener than a speaker in a group. and i prefer to listen than talk
4) cliques are small and i totally enjoy it cos the focus (friends to friends) are not diluted
5) we have ‘boring’ or rather mundane leisure activities like eating good food and watching movie. but that was pretty fine even up till now actually.
6) there were girls. DUH. and i think it’s a very huge part of my life. no not the obscene way.
7) same course, pretty much same topic to talk about. similar interests and visions.

now in army (platoon specifically)
1) quieter as my joke doesnt really seem very fitting for the environment
2) quieter as i still prefer to talk to girls more as they’re easier to talk to
3) i’m still more or less a listener but it just doesnt feel the same. i’m expected to talk as well in some cases.
4) i don’t really count myself in any cliques or wad. not a bad thing but things just feel kinda diluted. only difference is whether i know u better than other platoon mates.
5) more night activities which i’m not really interested in. feels kinda out of place whenever an outing is suggested. oh well.
6) all guys.. mmm been repeated so many times, but i think i communicate with female better than i do with males.
7) same bmt, but mostly JC people. dunno wad to talk about when i’m with them. which explains why i’m quieter.

if you ask me. i’ll still prolly prefer my poly life in anyways.
cant be helped i guess. it may just be unfair to compare since poly is 3 yrs and i’ve only gone thru 1 month of bmt.
yeah btw bmt is over. and i guess that might have been the last time since i feel bonded like i was in red cross.
enjoyed the daring ‘outfit’ i had in OC night and all the cheers and shouting.

it was very fun to feel enthu.

back to ‘normal’ life.
i’m struggling if i should get myself my own psp. why?

pros
1) to watch videos (long batt hours and big screen)
2) portability
3) games (realised there’s quite a few games out there i actually enjoy)
4) all of above = easier to pass time in army when i’m bored.

cons
1) expensive as it’s not a need.
2) expensive cos i feel i’m overspending these days.
3) i’m wondering if this is just a short lived interest, if it is i’m indeed wasting money.
4) easier to pass time in army = less drawings and constructive work done on my part? no?

a few things i should/need to do in this coming months
1) wait for my saber lily and kannagi nendoroid to come
2) improve on my drawings and churn out some decent works
3) meet up with poly friends
4) slim down… mmmm…
5) read books that i’ve bought. they’re good.
6) prepare to get a display shelf for my beloved but small collection of figurines?
7) watch more anime.
celebrate mum’s bday
9) reduce my spendings after all these crazy buys

all right it’s almost 3. time to leave this post.
talk more next time.
