Super-naturally Chicken

November 21, 2009 Catherine 1 comment

I was in the middle of doing a Supernatural marathon while I am jobless, but I’m taking a break after one episode LAWL. Gosh, Supernatural is not something I can watch alone… but Dean’s smile and Sam’s dimples makes it all better ohhohohoho…

Yeah~ now I’m super-paranoid.. Thanks for being there for me to rant ^^. AND HAPPY HUG A VIETNAMEE [yes, Vietnamee] DAY TO EVERYONE!!! <3

Oh yeah, I gave up on my 50k word story for nanowrimo 2009. Second time in a row now. Let’s hope I’ll make the mark next year!!! Note to self: DO NOT do a school daily life theme. It proved as a failure in my past two nanowrimo experiences. Create my own world to live in for that month~

Okay back to shitting myself. Thanks for reading!

November?

First year of uni has finally ended for me last Friday! Been over-celebrating it but I guess I deserved it. To be honest I don’t think I’ve ever worked so hard in my life.

It’s been a while since I’ve updated on my life so far but… despite all the whinging and complaining about my course, I’ve decided to stick with it. It’s one of the courses where I can find a shred of fun in what I’m doing, and all is possible with the wonderful friends I have made this year. However I still get put down by the whatever competition there is within our classes, as with everything else in life I guess~

So yeah I am now darker from two trips to Chelsea Beach to celebrate the end of I.D first year! The trips themselves can be summarised in the photos I posted up… somewhere… quite stalkable but if you’re my friend you’d know where to find them… [in the process of reading Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol and I'm kind of iffy about internet privacy for some reason... O_O].

Anyway I love karma. I just hope karma loves me back…

On our second beach trip, I found a lost phone in the toilet. Remembering the time when I had my phone stolen, how frustrating it was, I looked through the lost phone for a valid contact person to notify them about the lost phone. Unfortunately out of about ten contacts only one is a person, her grandma. The rest was phone service numbers. I wasn’t aware if she had any credit in her phone so I used my phone to send a text message to her grandma, saying that a relative has lost her phone, just thought I’d let someone know of its location. I left the phone in the toilet where I had found it and went back out to the ocean.

A while later, her grandma called me to confirm the details of her granddaughter’s lost phone. I told her I just left it where I found it so she can go and get it herself [I didn't want to deal with strangers haha]. About an hour later when my friends decided to head off to the toilets before heading home, I checked the toilets to see if the phone was still there. It wasn’t, and I hoped that some random didn’t take it.

When I had reached Flinders St Station, my phone rang with an unknown calling ID flashing on the screen. I answered the phone and the girl spoke to me. She told me she got her phone back and thanked me. The conversation lasted only less than a minute but it made my day. Such a polite little girl. The seemingly shallow world suddenly seemed like a better place.

There’s no such thing as ‘hopeless’ without ‘hope’ itself.

B+ – “Be Positive”

September 19, 2009 Catherine 2 comments

Warning: Long post. I did not proof-read.

Semester 2 is coming to an end within a month, and looking back, I’ve gone quite a long way since high school.

  • From coloured pencils to alcohol-based markers
  • From mechanical pencils to fineliners
  • From cartridge paper bank/bond/bleedproof paper
  • From -/+2mm tolerance to -/+0.5mm accuracy
  • From manga sketching to technical product drawing
  • From 5-10 weeks major projects to 4 week major projects
  • From high school to university (LOWL)
  • From staying within locality to travelling the extra mile to achieve something better

There’s more, but I can’t be bothered thinking.

One more thing. I’ve also achieved something I once thought was impossible… the ID favourite, [raw] EGGDROP! Read more…

Rendering Block DEKIMASHITA.

September 7, 2009 Catherine Leave a comment

Yuh.. in the past few days I’ve had a few blogging urges that could not be fulfilled due to UNI COMMITMENTS. Now that I’ve found the time to blog, this is all I can come up with. Enjoy:

brendan the renderingblock

We’ve been working on this project for weeks and it’s really turned me into an obsessive perfectionist [and perhaps professional chromer... I can spend 9 hours breathing in toxic fumes per day]… 0.5mm now makes a HUGE difference to me. I won’t tolerate such inaccuracy no more!

Now that this project is out of the way, I have my life back again!!

Well.. actually no. Dammit. Got more projects coming up.

See you again, maybe in mid-semester break.

Having one of those "I LOVE MAIWAIFU" moments :]

Having one of those "I LOVE MAIWAIFU" moments~

I know, lame title. But it’s the best thing that I’ve thought of today…

I was finding motivation to start on my projects by looking through my older artworks. I thought about how I was able to spend ages on them until they were finished. When I looked back to my current uni projects, I wonder why I don’t have the same motivation to even look at them. Read more…

Beware the Design Student

August 3, 2009 Catherine 3 comments

I was packing my materials for uni and then something occurred to me. If art and design courses were to cease for any reason, for what purposes would we future designers use these ever so expensive materials for?

I’ve come to the conclusion… the tools that we utilise as ‘drawing equipment’ would then otherwise be known as ‘battle weapons for the Design student’. All this in preparation for any “Art Attacks” that are to come.

So here’s what I’ve packed in my bag so far this year…

  • A1-sized folio – shield from paint bombs
  • A1 paper tube – bazooka!~
  • A1 cartridge paper, etc. – protection for the walls from splatters
  • Masking tape – to mask your presence…
  • Willow charcoal – use to draw on the face to camouflage
  • Spray Fixative – chroming device
  • Copic markers – portable chroming devices
  • Face masks – anti-chroming device
  • Fineliners – marking incision lines
  • 3-4 knives/scalpels – self explanatory
  • PVA glue – to build a wooden house/shelter (>_>)
  • Methyl Ethyl Ketone solvent – for solvent welding plastic weapons
  • Lab coat and goggles – performing lab experiments
  • A3 folio – contains plans for potential weapons
  • Cushion – to nap in between training sessions
  • Ink + Brush – meditative calligraphy, like the way of the samurai…
  • Digital caliper – accurately measures all dimensions of a puddle
  • Ruler – swords [metal rulers are preferred, ALWAYS]
  • Set squares – shurikens/daggers
  • Bleedproof paper – …for creating bloody art work? O_O
  • Bank/Bond pads – for printing money LAWL.
  • Super glue – to glue… stuff… together.
  • 8GB USB – data theft device
  • Sandpaper – to smooth out every rough surface on this planet
  • Laptop – for research and Facebooking.

Okay getting dead sleepy, gonna stop here.

Thanks for reading and good night.

P.S – I may/may not post about the soccer comp today, but bottom line, it was awesome~ despite not winning :D Ah I’m such a happy loser.

I Love the Rain.

July 4, 2009 Catherine Leave a comment

I Love the Rain by Claude Kelly. I like an English song for once.

LOVING MY BABY PUMA XL IT, WHITE/RED.

LOVING MY BABY PUMA XL IT, WHITE/RED.

Oh, please don’t discriminate against those born with the idiot face… i.e me.

Last night I had the urge to go shopping at Woolies [please get with the program if you cannot comprehend]. I spent about $70 on a variety of things, mostly food and such.

The next bus home came in 30 minutes so instead of waiting for it, I decided to walk home, in the rain with a shit umbrella that kept flipping out and four bags of whatever I bought from Woolies. I forgot about my jarred pinky so by the time I got home it kinda died. Anyway I started snacking and playing Kingdom Hearts II. Lizzie watched me play for most parts, fangirling over Sora and Donald. And MAN, I WANNA MARRY RIKU’S HOT VOICE. I MELTED INSIDE WHEN HE SAID “take care of her” TO SORA. AHHHH~

kimi no koe wo kikasete hoshii yo

It’s my way, your way, no way…
It’s ONE WAY LOVE
It’s my way, your way, no way…

sono hitomi nani wo utsusu no?
dare yori mo kimi wo shiritai
dakedo mimi wo fusagu uwasa banashi ni
mata mune ga itaku naru no

wanna tell you

Geek Brother

June 29, 2009 Catherine Leave a comment

My older sister was at work and I was at home. Received a package from my brother in Japan, who’s coming back tomorrow. The package which was addressed to my sisters claimed that its contents are a ‘model steam engine kit spare parts’ and a ‘hobby toy model robot kit, Gundam 1/114 scale’, but everything ain’t what it seems.

OH and by the looks of things, it seems like he found a soccer shop in Japan! What a legend! Here I was betting on whether or not he’d be able to get my Kashima Antlers shirt or whatever he decided to get but I guess he’s no noob ^^”…

I do… not…

June 26, 2009 Catherine Leave a comment

…remember when my brother is coming back from Japan.

ARGH! THAT ALSO MEANS I’M NOT EVEN SURE WHEN MY BABY EEEPC IS COMING BACK!!! IRA-IRA-IRA-IRA~!!!

I’m positive he comes back on the 30th but what if it’s not? Even my mum and my older sister aren’t sure LAWL.

Well I guess we’ll wait and see. I wonder if he’s found anything from my ’shopping list’… no wait I mean I wonder if he’s doing well over there at the moment. Teehee~ shows how much I care.

TIME TO GO BACK TO WATCHING JUNJOU ROMANTICA 2!!!

Oh before I go, just had to add…

Latest catch: DF Kasai Kenta of Kashima Antlers. HE'S CUTE <3

Latest catch: DF Kasai Kenta of Kashima Antlers. I love his sleepy-face (*w*)b

Kashima Antlers’ jersey is so damn hot. Red and black horizontal stripes! Even their older red and grey jerseys look awesome! Good job, Nike~ your designs won’t come right back laughing their ass off at you.

Kasai Kenta is a Puma fan.

“Junjou baby love” ;D
