熊の物語

Bear with me for this story...


One day a bear was chasing a rabbit through the forest when they tripped over a genie's lamp. The genie comes out and says, "Hold it, hold it, hold it. If you two would just quit chasing each other for three minutes I'll give you both three wishes." So they say okay that sounds fair.

The genie says, "Okay who'll go first?" The bear pushes the rabbit out of the way and says, "I'll go first", so the genie says okay.

The bear goes, "I wish all the bears in the forest except for me were girls." The genie snaps his fingers and says, "Done."

The rabbit says "I wish I had a crash helmet." The bear goes, "Well that's a dumb wish." But the rabbit says, "That's my wish." The genie snaps his fingers and says, "Done."

The bear says, "I wish every bear in the world except me were girls." The genie goes, "That's a big wish, it'll count as two wishes." The bear goes, "O-okay, I'll do it."

The rabbit has two wishes left so the rabbit says, "I wish for a motor scooter." Then he gets on the scooter puts on his crash helmet and as he's driving away he yells, "I wish the bear was gay!"



Everyone I've asked likes the bear more (not the gay one of course), so why didn't it win?!? Those judges were probably too old to understand the beauty of cute stuff... That bear is the first and only thing I've drawn with my tablet alone... I would usually draw everything on paper and scan it in, but this piece uses no paper at all (except the one that it was printed on)... And I was so proud of myself for my environmental-friendly design...

OK, fine... If I really pick on it, I'll say the background sucks... What's with the disgusting combination of colors? Blue and brown? Well, they are complimentary colors, but couldn't it be in a nicer shade? With the bear being brown, the background shouldn't have any hints of brown at all... Haha... Getting a bit high from flaming myself here...

Great, so what's been happening lately? Went KTV on Sunday and it was great!! Didn't go for band practice in the morning and just stayed at home to laze around and do some vocal warm ups... Was in very good condition that day; finally got to sing 《背叛》 in the KTV... Though I went flat a couple of times, the good part is I sang at original key!! Not that I wanted to though, I just forgot to minus key and only realised it a few songs later...

Next week would be my In-Camp Training; its supposed to be a holiday from my mundane work life... It is, except the part where I’m supposed to go Tekong... Sianzz... Oh well, guess it’s good to be close to nature every once in a while... Gives time to think about stuff and change perspectives on certain things... It also helps reset my brain's and eyes’ artistic ability... Let’s hope there isn’t any more of those designing disasters after this...

復活

Alive and Kicking...


Its been a month since the last entry... Well, sorry to disappoint but I'm still alive... Things have gotten monotonous lately, there hasn’t been much changes from yesterday to today; from last week to this... There are 2 things worth mentioning though...

First up is the "Workplace Safety and Health Poster Design Competition" held by my company... I submitted 4 entries and only won the 3rd price... All entries were submitted under different names thinking that they wouldn’t allow the same person to win multiple times... Of course, my best work was submitted under my name... However, I had not expected that my best work didn’t win a shit!?! Guess which the winning piece is then...

Tiger
Two Tigers

Stitches
Teddy Stitches

Next would be my bags, they have finally arrived, photographed, priced and posted on eBay. Weida came to my house in the early afternoon of a Saturday and we started taking photographs of the bags... It wasn’t until 9 in the evening that we finally finished taking the pictures... From a time when the sun is damn bright to a time where there isn’t enough ambient light, you’ll notice the differences in the photos... Took another 2 weeks to edit the photos, take the bags’ measurements and finally posting them... Never expected it to be that time consuming and tiring... So here is the link again, thanks for the support...
