yours are most confusing, evil rei hahhahaha ... is that u ? it dun sound quite the same, somehow!
& if the dark cloud should grow into a thunder storm, the seed that survives & grows, would most certainly be a stronger plant/tree/orchid flower (?), than most other bathed in sunlite.
aniway, it dun matter, after all, if ppl who once booed u, can come shake ur hand another time, like u are the greatest person they ever met, it really dun matter. ( they may still boo u another time ... & they may still come shake ur hand another another time ... hahahahaha )

I'm quite ashamed to say that I've never quite made it past the first chapter of LOTR since I bought the book when I was in secondary two, but the recent release of its theatrical rendition have made it compelling to pick it up again, and I'm now in the middle of The Two Towers. Can't wait to see the movie itself, hope it doesn't disappoint ! Then again, that might be too much to ask, for it certainly wouldn't match a world crafted by word and powered by the imagination.

I know you guys miss my fanatical rantings...
well now its LOTR !!!!!!!!!!!!

finished the book..and can't wait to watch the movie....

And I've been really busy ingame DAoC (dark age of camelot), now that I've formed a guild and all....
Lotsa stuffs to organize and moderate the forum.

Anywayz if you guys see the dvds Farinelli and Orlando (which i really doubt..but ya never know) PLEASE lemme know ASAP! thanx

gotta get back to talking to Galadriel in my head.

the last time i went i noe they sell stanley kubrick collection, think it s 3 of the movies at really much cheaper than normal ... wah but that they oready got moulin rouge!!! ... tmr mus go!!

Thought you guys might want to know there's this videoshop in Peninsula Plaza along the roll of shops facing Saint Andrew's cathedral called LASERflair that sells quite along of dvd titles. I happened to had a look inside the other day and realized they were already selling moulin rouge 2 disc dvd set at 47.90, not bad at all. they also have some code 1 dvd titles that are really quite cheap. i bought Deep Impact at 30 bucks.

ahaaaa ... looking good !!! she s materialising!! keep going manzzz ... hey things r looking promising, maybe u want to rig the body then work on the cloth sim, less problem and avoid possible double work : )

[ memento mori ] update

My first update in months !!! Blasted simcloth and all. I'm still gasping for breath and the think there's lots more to worry about...but I'll try my best...

wah liao, 3rd jan me still in reservist leh ... cant imagine what i m doing on that day ... so many years neber been in an army camp ... hahaha... but u all NS ppl mus be saying what s the big deal! hahaha ...

Okie folks latest update on Avalon screening date from cathay.com.sg - it opens only on the 3rd of jan next year.

Paiseh Gatchaman, really needed a break that afternoon from all the work and all, so neber chio. I'll try and post more pictures...althought most of them didn't really look so fantastic. Anyway...think i'll continue working in 3D...problematic as it is...i think its still more concieivable than 2.7D...the latter which I think I'll still be stucking drawing inbetweens by the time I ORD. Thanks for the advice and encouragement.

ps. anyone saw the avalon cinema schedule anywhere ? papers, etc. they'are supposed to have started screening it. odd.

wah blaue reiter go neber jiao leh :P
like really nice place to take pics, upload more of ur masterpiece to share with us?
dun stop the whole production, you can always go back to ur very original plan, 2.7D (tat how u call it, rite?) it s hard, esp u r in NS to do 3d characters, i ve jus spent last 2 days changing settings quite blindly on cloth simulation, only to have exploding pants everytime ... setup is the most torturous & taxing phrase ... but to me it 's the price to pay for creative freedom (to a certain degree) in one-man production ... but very sianz, i still cant see the logic in all those numbers in the cloth sim...
will try to upload the motion test on my character setup (no cloth sim), but the movs quite big, mus registered & all tat for new place to upload.

I finally took time off my regular schedule ( book out of camp, laze at home, stare at Max interface, but not working much, etc ) to travel down to Tanjong Pagar train station for the photo shoot i've promised myself. Its actually my first time there and I was lucky enough I didn't get lost in Shenton Way where directions and pacing gets too frenetic and chaotic. Once there my impression of a bustling, active train station was quickly replaced by empty waitiong halls and vacant platforms. I quickly changed my compositional interests to mundane activities and it was just as satisfying, in as sense. Next shoot, Duck race.



Recently memento mori have been taking severe beatings in its production schedule as I languished at home pulling my hair over seemingly insurmountable technical issues. Energy and zest is draining rapidly, and I must find a way to start working again or risk stopping work altogether.

Folks remember the Avalon trailer that we missed on Saturday ? I was talking to Jason and he told me that movies-online.com.sg said it'd be out on the 29th November...supposedly. that's good news.

yah blaue reiter u better not breathe a word abt the 4th book! but heard some important character s gonna die ... hmmm ... dumbledore? ohhhh ... dun tell mi !!!

I think i've just been hit by a big bout of Harry Potter fever, albeit a few months later than the recent craze. The Goblet of Fire was both amusing and pleasurable to read, and many a times I found myself laughing out loud ( with much dismay from my campmates ) the nonsense that Ron and Hermoine ( Harry's best friends ) can come up with. The end of the story came as quite a sombre one, but I wouldn't say what happened lest Gatchaman complains he haven't read ! Anyway, i can't seem to escape Potter today. On my way back home today I realized the train cabins were infiltrated by panel after panel of Harry Potter movie ads, and walking past one Bossini shop the promotional posters were screaming Harry Potter T-shirts. Now all I need to do is to catch the movie...please make it good !

dear peishan, although there r some chime words i dunnoe in ur sophiscated msg, but i do ve some opinions of this 'condition' of yours. i think the day u can 'paint ur ravage feelings on a canvas (without the aid of device of any kind, or brutully extracting your heart), or when u can express in words 'the image that burns like supernova', or when u manage to get some answers from a monologue ... u ll be a trully great artist, haha ... there jus some ppl who ve gone thro this frustrating stage as great artists and some that are still going thro it ... like u and me?
but looking at the way u crafted ur sentences so artfully ... hmmmm ... maybe u are much much nearer there than mi laio ... me still using singlish leh ... think u r almost there laio ... another 10, 20 years maybe ? :P and my mind is already so messup ... there isnt much u can do anyway ... hehehehe
reading the las 2 paragraphs again now myself ... seems to sound a bit sarcastic ... but pls be assured tat s nevber my intention ... jus trying to be smart alec here ahahahaha ...
frankly, dun take mi too seriously on this crap ... like i always take myself too seriously .. and lose the fun of it.

Wat am I feeling? Why don't we have the devices to extract our hearts from within our chest and dab it on a piece of blank canvas? Why? For it may paint, in a somewhat incomprehensible way, the feelings that ravage it. How is it possible that wat is going thru my mind, isn't that which pours forth from this orifice on my face? Wat good is speech if it doesn't dictate that image that burns like a supernova in my mind? Why these questions? Will I ever stop asking why? Do we get definate answers from a monologue?

A mind like scambled egg, I say. You can't make out the yellows from the whites, and it fluffs up and outwards threatening the limits of the skull which confines it. I had scrambled eggs just 2 days ago and I was poking around the leftovers with a designer fork, like someone is poking around my delicate information processing machine now. And someone told me it's where my soul resides. It's where YOUR soul lies protected within the cranium.

So let me make you a proposition. Close your eyes. And let me, once and for all, mess up your mind.

Folks, Popular Bookshop is either extremely generous with its offers, or they simply haven't a heck of an idea how much they should price their books. INDUSTRIAL LIGHT AND MAGIC : THE ART OF SPECIAL EFFECTS ( THE FIRST BOOK, NOT THE ONE ON DIGITAL REALM ) IS NOW GOING FOR $49.90 AT POPULAR, BRAS BASAH. Now that's a deal you don't find everyday, in fact, any day. Hurry before stocks run out !!!!! *especially directed to rei*

rite, blaue reiter, the brazil renderer i ve told u abt ... www.splutterfish.com

Came across this site I thought was relatively useful. It actually does reviews and content descriptions for various japanese illustration and anime magazines, very up to date. Even comickers is included. There are some other useful stuff I think should be lurking around.

http://jdcr.com/

This is the comickers contents page : http://jdcr.com/resources/comickers/back.html

Do tell if there's anything else useful around on this site.
