no specific title... just anyhow type

well... is my final week of the university life liao. very fast sia... everyone is rushing for assignment but i seem to have nothing much to do. jeff, monica, joelle, hasan and others were like so stressed with games design and i can really feel it cos they dun have much time to do. this week gotta hand in and not sure if they can finish in time or not. i could still rem monica was so down last week as she could not design and was wanting to give up. joelle lost her textures last night and had to re-do. hasan still struggling with his animation. jeff... he is enjoying it but then hope he can realise that he dun have much time.

next week i have to deal 2 of the remaining courses' assignment. one is a presentation of my industry practice portfolio and the other is interactive media assignment. the portfolio thingy still quite ok cos i have most of the things and just need to organise and would have to prepare a presentation. the interactive media assignment a.k.a flash, well... pretty much is done and just need to input background music in and can submit liao.

the rest of my friends are still struggling to deal with games but have no time for the flash. monica only did the interface design, joelle had concept and some graphics, jeff has graphics and had imported some graphics into flash with the help of hasan. now everyone is like helping one another with assignment. since i dun have much to do, i also help as much as possible.

have been practically working and playing in uni for the past few weeks. dun really spend much time at home. the only time at home will be sleep time and that's it. pretty no life. had been playing fifa with hasan during somem break time to reduce stress. hm... we quite balanced match. have to think of ways to defeat him.

today went to buy groceries and realised that it had been quite a long time since i went to buy food. cos have been staying in uni and eating out so lazy to buy lor. bought quite a lot of things and had been preparing for food for the last few hours. made green bean soup and making some meat for dinner. will be cooking dinner so and can enjoy a few variety shows later.

exhibition and graduation dates had more or less confirmed and will have to prepare for that after my semester. have to also make some plans to go out with some friends. hm...

ok, talk no more, dinner time.

surfers...

went to surfers again... at night time for dinner. that's the food that jeff ordered and my food forget to take cos too hungry and then when food come straight away eat liao and forogt to take.

the car image is the aussie car for the indy this week. well... this weekend surfers will be packed again with people for the stupid event.

flash for testing

wow!! hailstorm...

hm... heard from monica (sunwoo) that there was a hailstorm yesterday night. glad that i came home early yesterday or else i surely ganna.

anyway, was pretty down and lack of ideas a few days ago. most possibly is because of stress from the dvd. but then today i was glad that i can managed to get something down for my interactive media class. another reason that motivated me might be because my previous assignment got highest in class which forces me to have desire to do better. so today i was thinking of the topic that i wanna do and also do some graphics. so as i do, i got more ideas. as can see, i would be doing a flash application on psp and it will really be something that is different. had the basic layout designed and also got think of how the transition animation would be. topics wise still very messy and maybe i will talk and discuss with lutze tmr.

thanks miss wong for your help... because of u, i am out... can finally work on something... below are the conceptual ideas that i was working on... will upload the flash site after i finish...

what's wrong gold coast???

疑惑

finally finsihed my essay, thanks to hasan. was working on my interactive media assignment today. that's when i started to think and i realised that i am in need of ideas. currently my brain is blocked, stuck or whatever is called. just no idea... while i was thinking for ideas today, i kind of like dunno what style to use. when i opened illustrator, i am like lost, indecisive in the colour selection, the graphic style and others. was asking myself, am i really a designer? where is my creativity?

what is my style exactly? my answer is always simple and clean design. but then can i always stay using that style? have been losing some confidence in my work cos had been looking and comparing wiht my friends' work and felt that everyone can do such good jobs. well... it just makes me feel my work was not so good after all.

anyway today had a thunder storm which is super rare in aussie. is the first time i saw thunder storm in aussie. real thunder and lightning and the lightning is super bright and long sia. glad that just now urara gave me a lift back home or else i would have to walk back in the rain.

here i go again...

image created for urara...

er... where shld i start?

maybe start from my psp bah. had been insisted to stay with using devhook to play my psp games but had recently changed my mind and go with the custom firmware. so now is with ver3.52-m33. made the change cos really wanna play some games. mainly ff7 and wangan midnight. started to play ff7 and feel is quite ok. all japanese but i still can roughly understand. er... some part dunno might wanna ask urara to help me, since she is currently my japanese sensei. this time the ff7 fighting system is changed again and is quite similar to the ff12 style or maybe the same, i really dunno. graphics wise, all very nice but sometimes cant skip through the movie, which sux. only play a while so dunno the game well yet. next is wangan midnight portable on the psp. is similar to the previous entry, shotoku battle. this time just add in wangan midnight elements. the game physics is changed and need some time to get used to the control. but the learning curve is super steep cos i cant even win the first match in the senario. maybe is because i am battling reina, one of the most powerful driver in the game. but also cant be so hard right. maybe i just need to read instructions. got try anothe game, fifa 2008. got influence by hasan cos he was showing us how fifa08 is on pc. so very tempted and i went to try the game on psp. er... i shld say is ok only cos i still prefer the winning eleven style. still having some difficulties in dribbling and getting used to the control cos is diff from winning eleven.

this afternoon went to surfers again. dunno how many times this month liao. anyway was there to meet someone with the original intention to shop and relax. so reached surfers around 2 and my friend haven reach so just walked around lor. then decided to go mac to eat something and wait. when i reached mac, is like full of people who just finish surfing. i hate places with a lot of people but then i just wanna a cheap place to sit down. so waited at one of the queues and in the end that was not a queue just look like one. so went to another one. and after a long time is my turn.

mac guy, "hi, what do u want?"
me,"cheeseburger and..."
mac guy, "medium or small?"
me,"er... (thot to myself: got medium or small one meh?), er... small one (cos cheaper) "
mac guy, "so is medium cheeseburger?"
me,"ya... and a medium coke..."

so he pressed pressed pressed and told me $3.95. then he go and take the food and came back with the cheeseburger meal. i was like super angry cos all the while his tone was not good lor and when i told him that he took the wrong order, he was like not his fault like that. he still said he confirmed with me twice. was really very angry then. cant he even differentiate what is cheeseburger and cheeseburger meal meal. why i go to other mac dun have this kind of prob??? what's with his attutide?? anyway in the end i just take the food and looked for a seat. was wanting to asked him to refund...

anyway just sat down and eat. so finished the cheeseburger and then just continued to sit. then phone call from jason and he said got a lot of changes to make for the dvd. my mood was like changed cos was supposed to relax today and then now gotta go back to uni to make changes. mostly the changes are made by the fine art people. they had been very annoying cos they are the one who are making the changes. they like dun wanna be the same as us. was thinking why not they design themselves and graduate themselves lah. i dun even have the time to sleep and u all are like saying wanna change this and that and u all never do anything. what's wrong sia...

so no choice, went back and made changes and will complete the changes tmr morning. and now i am just doing some reading for my essay cos have to hand in on mon.
