新背景

Change of background...


Two entries in a day, that's something new... Got back home and had time to do it, so I changed the background to my animation... In a previous entry, I mentioned that I do not want to use a gif as background, but if I don't mention it no one will notice... Haha... That's not much difference either way, not on a fast connection at least... Oh well...

This New Year's eve, we're going to the beach party at Sentosa... Anyone wanna join us? Admission is free if you go with me... ;)

I'm serious...

苦惱之節日

Unhappy Holidays...


It is always during this part of the year where it gets worrying for students like me: our assignments are due next week... Normally, everyone would had finished most of the assignments by now, so as to enjoy their holidays... They would had started on it last month, or at least the start of this month... As for me, I haven't even installed the programs yet, let alone start on them... Now there is less than 1 week to finish them, sounds familiar? I sense several sleepless nights coming... or maybe not...

Last week, I went ktv with Weida, he said my singing has improved and I no longer sound like Aaron Kwok... That also means I've lost what made me special... Still I'm quite happy, since it I've been trying hard to lose that... So what if I sound very boring now, it is from now on where I can start to build my own style...

Yesterday, I joined SIM's singing club, Esprimere... As a tradition, the new guy has to sing a song for everyone... Once I started singing, everyone said I sounded like Aaron Kwok, including the instructor... She asked if I had been listening to Aaron's songs since young... Sadly, yes... Back to square one then... :(

As for the media I may be putting up, there's no time now, I need to get to school... Maybe in my next post?

Ever since the previous time I drew Arbalest, I've taken a liking for drawing robots... The other day I saw this great model of a Gundam and decided I should draw it... Like I promised, this entry will come with some new media:


ZGMF-X56S/α Force Impulse Gundam : Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY

The above is an animated gif, the link is to the completed drawing... Though I say completed, I've been wondering whether to add in colours... What do you think?

Now that I've finished this drawing, I realized I don't really like drawing robots... Arbalest was easy to draw and so was this Gundam, maybe that is why I don't find any satisfaction in drawing them...The lines are defined and so dead, I don't see any life in my own drawing (thus explains the animation :Þ ) ... Guess I should just stick to drawing manga...

The performance yesterday was not bad, there was quite some audience... The lighting wasn't the best, so I doubt the video would produce anything visible... Don't know why but the camera yesterday was a low quality one, unable to capture anything at night... Too bad then, but I'm pretty sure the sound would come out alright...

Hmm... The next entry might come with new media as well, until next time...

終於

Killing the creator was a traditional method of patent protection...


After my previous post, I had to do a few more drafts for urban Foundry... Until now, they are still not satisfied... I've however recieved most of the materials for the website, very soon, they won't be selling only beds... Though I hate it alot, I'm still doing it because I intend to learn the process of doing such things, something I would not do on my own...

There's another performance this Saturday, a new concept we've just thought up... I hate to say it, but my band is getting more interesting... Now that there is a new band leader, my work load had reduced alot, I'm losing my resolve to quit the band... Oh well, guess I still have to stay until my good friends see me perform... There would be a camera for this Saturday's performance, so I'll most probably post a clip after that... I might be performing on Christmas and/or New Year's Eve, it's not confirmed but most probably would be a public performance...

That's it for now, the next entry would most probably be accompanied by some new media...

問題

Help a man when he is in trouble and he will remember you when he is in trouble again...


There is this problem that I have been searching around for a solution ever since I first had this idea of a flash background... How do you set flash as a background? I know I have to set wmode to be transparent, but I'm not sure how to place it such that it resides behind these words... Of course, I can cheat and export it as a gif, that easily solves my problem... However, that is not how I want it to be done... Anyone reading this and knows the answer please email me... Any friends reading these and not know the answer please ask someone who might know... Any help is much appreciated, I'll remember you... No, not only when I'm in trouble again...

草稿

God created men first because you always need a rough draft before the final masterpiece!


It's been 5 days since the last time I blogged, half the time of my previous one... Hope I can consistently blog at least once every week...

Ok, about this draft thing, I think I'm finally done with the draft for urban Foundry's website... They seem quite happy with, that's one thing off my back... Now I just need to build the actual website and I won't ever want to see them again...

Next, is another draft, the animation for this background... I've finished with it but haven't uploaded it yet as my file hosting is down for upgrading... Should be able to see it by next week... The graphics are not really perfect, as it was drawn with flash... I'm going to replace it with my own drawings one of these days... If I'm fast enough, I may be able to finish it before the file hosting is up... Then you won't have the chance to see my draft, it's straight up Version 1...

Going to school now, maybe I should ask my classmate to draw that part since he is so good at it...
