DeviantArt debut!
http://nocturnalseasons.deviantart.com/art/Spread-80873961
Check out my messing arounds in DeviantArt! Just made a new account, will be posting artstuff there from time to time! (Blogger too slow!)
So, my birthday is officially over. Nothing much happened. Woke up, showered, went to have lunch at TGI Friday's with the fellas, sat there talking for hours and didn't realize the time fly by. After that went and hit the arcades because there weren't any nice movies out that we have not watched yet. Played ParaPara, KOF Maximum Impact Regulation A and Marvel VS Capcom2. Mostly ParaPara actually. I've given up trying to mix in popping with ParaPara..too much of a hassle. Maybe waving would look good with ParaPara..hmm, should try that next time. After the whole arcade thing, came back and dived straight into assignments. Around 11, Aaron (also known as his tag name Aaroink, a lecturer on campus and also a role model for most of us) called me up and asked if I want to have supper or not. Well, being the hog that I am, I didn't refuse and we went to Raas to have supper. Joined shortly after by the other guys. And after that came back home and did some more assignments, and now here I am, going to bed soon. No cake, no presents, which I'm pretty much used to (I suppose). My only birthday wish now I guess is to do well for every coming semester..nothing material. Night!

I'm 18 now. (Apparently) =O
Technically, I'm legal..right? I haven't had any time to register for driving lessons. I don't think I'll be able to take driving lessons at all. I suppose I've underestimated my modules for this semester. I didn't think it would be this heavy, not that its a bad thing really, just that I can't handle this kind of madness and rushing that well (at least not yet). Seriously, next week I have Icon Design submission, Computer Graphics Assignment 1 and 2 : Basic Shapes and Vectoring submission, Mascot Design submission, Journal for Coaster Design Review, Research and Journal for Mascot Design submission, Illustration in colour pencil submission, Photography Journal 1 submission and etc etc..I hope I can cope and keep up and adapt soon, otherwise it'll be like putting a bullet into my head and ending all prospects of having a career in the design industry. ...Okay, probably not that bad but still, I hope things work out.
So what have I been up to lately? Hmm, interesting question. Most of the time its assignments, eating, sleeping and hanging out with friends. With the very little free time I have, I play my DS, try to learn some popping, waving, tutting, airposing, dimestopping and whatnot through online tutorials and I also watch some of the animes I've been missing, which is a lot.
If only I don't need to sleep, then I'd stay up and do whatever I want to. Sadly that is not possible for me. I wish I had the endurance. =( I don't seem to be losing any weight, and my face isn't getting any clearer either. Tough luck I guess. If I had a birthday wish, I guess it would be to have more time (and maybe ask to be more yentao? XD)
Haha, I don't think I'll be celebrating anyways..if there is any I suppose it'll be something over dinner with friends. Night people, see everyone around. And uh, no pictures yet..o.o

I have a lot of self-loathing emotions at the moment. I can't figure out why exactly, but it's probably something to do with me being down in the dumps. I keep thinking about how ridiculous it is that everytime I try to make a move or anything, I can't get myself to do it anymore because I keep thinking that I'm worthless, which I know I'm not. Okay, I probably lost most of you there. I'm just...still missing some pieces I guess? Not fully reconstructed my heart yet? I don't know what it is. I need help with finding and putting the pieces together, but the person that I want to help me with this is a prize too far away that I can't reach. Sad, but true. It's 6am and I can't sleep. Someone lend me a hammer to knock myself out...

Super Mental Stress.
Super Mental Fatigue.
Doesn't seem that way, but that's how I feel.
Just finished my first presentation today, and I feel that I'm not on par with my classmates, but I think I can do better. Guess what? I've got a new assignment that's due soon again. 40% this time. Mascot and Poster design, which isn't too bad.
Illustration class...something I'm not very fond of, and I don't know why. I seriously need help with this. It's 2am. I'm still up doing my figure drawing and shading, and I've teared away at least half of my sketchbook already. Someone help me...

Just Another Day
If you've got some free time on your hands, I suggest looking up Banned TV Adverts on Youtube, that is at least if you're not afraid of exposing yourself to partial nudity and gross stuff.
And well, its 4am, and a new day has just begun (at least for me). I've got some assignments to get approval of later in the afternoon. Here's a sample of one of the things I did.
Well, not exactly the greatest thing..but I guess it'll do for now. Gonna ask lecturer for advice later on. Ciao~

Well, today is my off-day. The only day where I have no class to attend, non-contact day. Well, even if it is a non-contact day, I have stuff to do. Submission for 15 sketches of coaster designs is due tomorrow, as well as some other stuff. I've got class from morning to evening tomorrow, which doesn't really excite me at all. But at least this semester we'll be focusing more on Computer Graphics, which is Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, which I think I can handle and adapt to better than most people in my class. Which reminds me..someone do let me know if you happen to know where to download Illustrator Graphic Styles on the net. Much appreciated.
That aside...Has anyone watched Step Up and Step Up 2 the Streets yet? Pwnsome movie, and I mean pwnsome, not awesome. Lol, hell, I'd watch it again and again if I could, but too bad I don't have that much of a time. Strange thing to say, but I think I might actually enjoy dancing more than I thought I did. Well, if you minus my inflexibility and my really crappy dance moves, teach me popping, airposing, locking, and whatnot I'd make a half-decent dancer. XD Haha, anyways, I'm off now. Going to drop by my friend's place to check if they're awake...

My subjects and the summary of what my focus is for this semester...
Design Studies 3 - Industry Based Design
Photography Studies 2 - Photography in Journalism Point of View
Communication Studies 3 - The Art of Writing
Illustration 1 - Figure Drawing and Media Usage
Computer Graphics - Software Basics
History of Design - ???
Well, that's basically it. History of Design is ??? because we haven't had that class yet. Lecturer was on MC or something on our first day. Load of bull if you ask me. Anyways, first week is hectic as hell, and we have tons of assignments and assignment briefings already. I feel like I can pass out, but well, I can't. For Design Studies, our first and so called easiest assignment is to design Coasters. You know, those things you put under your mug or cups so it won't dirty the table or burn the table if the content within the cup or mug is too hot? Yeah, those. Small things, and we're supposed to design those, with our own materials and whatnot. When to submit? In 2 weeks time, and present as well. That's ONE assignment, I can name a couple more but the list goes on. Anyways, I'll be busy, but will drop by whenever I can. Good Night~
