I gotta stop taking shitty camera phone pictures.
Anyway, putting my hot glue gun to good use. Maybe
These are flowers.
The end.

Alright.
Icons are due this Friday.
I have finished one vector one almost.
Almost.
I made this one accidentally.
See, so some accidents are a blessing in disguise! It's very ugly, colourwise, and I haven't completed my icon yet, I just want to post the umbrella before I make any more changes.
Saved the file as PNG this time.
I am proud of myself, I did this without the use of online resources. But then again it was by accident.
Oh well.

Yes, I have done another tutorial.
I particularly enjoyed doing this one because of how simple yet methodical it is. I got the result below in only nine steps.
This tutorial is good practice for using tools such as "Distort" and "3D Revolve".
Nothing too fancy, but still very effective, ^_^!

I have not been updating this blog very frequently, aye?
Read more »
I guess it's because we only have one MM subject this semester, but I assure you, next semester, I will update so frequently, you will be so tired of seeing the new entries. Yes, I said "you" but I don't know who I was referring to.
Anyway, yesterday (because it's after midnight), we had our first DDMM class in a week or so. We didn't have classes last week because of the Starlite event. Yes, so class yesterday was good. Was mostly critique sessions.
In other news, I made this pretty compass thing!
I reckon the method in which the alarm clock was made was more systematic. I like systematic. Yes, anyway, I followed the tutorial to the letter, but I wasn't very happy with the way they apply the shadow. They used the"Mesh" tool and added points in the sphere, coloured the points and then resized (squished) it to get the shadow.
It looks pretty good on a white background, but when you try to apply a coloured background to the picture, the whole thing is white and there is a huge white ellipse under the compass. Not cool. But yes, better keep it on a white background if you are following the tutorial to the letter, that is.
And if you find a way around it, please post it in a comment or something!
That is all.

Yes, this is the first so called "assignment blog post", Ten Things That Describe Me.
Read more »
So, basically, we have to list ten things that describe us. I don't think it's a top ten sort of thing. Just ten random things. I'm going to use headings!
1. Gemini
I was born between 20th May and 21st June, so that makes me a Gemini. I don't really obsess about the whole astrological "profiling", but sometimes it is pretty accurate.
2. Transient
I like to move around, different houses, different towns, different countries. I don't like staying in one place for too long, I get restless. I guess this is because my dad moved us around a lot when I was younger. I like the whole process of moving; sorting out the things you need, throwing out the things that you don't and not being able to throw out certain things.
3. Pack rat/Magpie
I tend to accumulate unnecessary things, always rationalising that I will have a use for it some day.
4. Reading
I enjoy reading. But, I haven't done much reading this year. Ten (not Top ten, random ten) of my favourite books are:
- "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien
- "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini
- "20th Century Ghosts" by Joe Hill
- "One Were Warriors" by Alan Duff
- "Tales of the Tikongs" by Epeli Ha'ofa
- "The Tenderness of Wolves" by Stef Penney
- "The Count of Monte Cristo" Alexandre Dumas
- "Little Women" Louisa May Alcott
- "Rape: A Love Story" Joyce Carol Oates
- "To Kill A Mocking Bird" Harper Lee
5. 90's Music
I like to listen to bands of the 90's. The songs make me nostalgic because I remember them playing on the radio in my childhood. Rock, any kind of Rock, from the 90's is seemingly timeless, it just gets better with age. But I do like a lot of new music too. I listen to everything, my taste in music is very random; any genre, any artist (except Akon). I don't usually admit this in public, but my playlist has some pop; some Britney, Taylor Swift and Mandy Moore. Haha! But listed below are ten (random) songs from my iTunes "Top 25 Most Played" list:
- "Sharing The Night Together" Dr. Hook
- "Always Be My Baby" David Cook
- "Not Meant To Be" Theory of a Dead Man
- "Not Ready To Make Nice" The Dixie Chicks
- "Windmills" Toad the Wet Sprocket
- "Hawa Me Urta Jaya" The Bombay Vikings
- "Every Little Thing" Dishwalla
- "Long Long Way To Go" Def Leppard
- "Meet Virginia" Train
- "Drops of Jupiter" Train
6. Laughter
I like laughing. I like making people laugh. I love sitcoms like "Friends" and "Arrested Development". Both shows are no longer running, but the humour on those shows was very original. "Friends" ran for ten seasons! That's the longest running TV show ever! But Arrested Development discontinued after the third season. Which is sad because that was a great show.
7. Videos
I like watching YouTube videos. I'm going to list ten (random) channels that I have subscribed to:
8. Social Networking
I spend a big portion of my free time on my Facebook, I'm sure everybody does. So, it's alright. I like the mini-games and quiz applications. Over the years, I have been on many social networking sites, I've tried MySpace, hi5, Friendster, Tagged, Bebo, ICQ, to name a few, but none of them really stuck. I like the way Facebook is laid out. I dislike any "pimp my page" options because they make loading a real pain.
9. Movies
One of the best movies I've seen this year would have to be District 9. It had me gripped from beginning to end. I like comedies, but not those lame parody movies like "Epic Movie", "Superhero Movie", etc. I think they have killed that theme, the whole parody thing, and those kinds of movies should not be made anymore. I like African-American comedies Quentin Tarantino movies and horror movies. I enjoy animated films like Shrek 1, Ice Age, Coraline, Spirited Away, Totoro, Graves of the Fireflies. I am not a hardcore movie-goer, but I do enjoy going to the cinema with friends.
10. Random
I am random. Aren't we all? I like writing lists. Lists of songs I like, list of things to do, list of books I want to read, any kind of list. I like to buy stationery that I will probably never ever use. I like to drink Ribena and wear coloured shoes. I like the colour yellow right now and I like origami.
Alright, so that is my list. I think around number six, I kind of lost the plot and started randomly coming up with things to write. From the listed items above, one can concur that I spend a lot of time online.
