Royal Selangor Pewter

Today was the day i've been waiting for, to get out of my room and to the outside world be it field trip, shopping or watching movies. Yes, today i went to Royal Selangor Pewter. It's my second time going into the factory but there's a lot of first timers. I joined my foundation coursemates and lecturer, Miss Irene to venture in this field trip. Not forgetting JJ,Canpei and Cici (degree classmates) came along as well.

Crafting

My pewter bowl design

We had lots of fun making our own pewter bowl, it was hard but anyway we did it and were satisfied. We had tea after that and OH, i gotta say this. The food in the canteen is very expensive. RM10 for a chicken rice?? I bet even the chicken is small in portion. And so i was telling everyone the chicken rice's price and Miss Irene offered to buy for me but it's RM10!! Anyways, Thanks Miss Irene =)

After that we got to keep the apron we used while crafting the pewter and we had a group photo. At least it was a productive day for me.

*smiles*

Lazy Thursday

Today i just don't feel like doing anything but to sleep, wake up, eat, play games and back to sleeping again. I've decided to take a full break from things and enjoy myself while preparing to get back into the world. Today, goodie goodie Zac said he wanted to treat us to pizza so we ordered two large domino pizzas, chicken crunchy which is tomyam flavour which is new on the menu and chocolate indulgence, chocolate-y brownie-like desert Yum!

All these food had made me forgotten about not too long ago (two days ago), bad stuff happened to me. First, i accidentally lock the church's main door when i thought i knew how to open it up when it was for prayer meeting service on Wednesday. Little did i know that one of the door locks were no more in-use cause it was spoilt, I turned the key and it couldn't retract back it's clutch on the door. So i locked us outside the church. Felt really guilty to pastor and to the other elders.

Secondly, Yesterday was music practice, was really looking forward to it. I was duty on the bass guitar, so when i reached, turned on the bass amplifier, no sound came out. I think the magnet was spoilt or something. All this in two days. I dread to think what my pastor would tell me, " HAR?!?!? YOU AGAIN AR?" But that won't happen because my pastor is a merciful and loving pastor.

Overall i still thank God eventhough these unforseen situations happen. I'm still happy =) I snapped some photos of Zac treating us to pizza.

Meet Zac

Crunchy Tomyam Chicken with cheese sauce(I think)

Our dinner

First Bak Kut Teh

Missing Kuching :O

Yes, today I'm feeling so blessed because my church members took me out to eat bak kut teh for dinner just now. It's the first bak kut teh i ever eat in KL. It's delicious with all the pork fat and fried stuff and i ate eggs with double yoke in them. Tasty yum!!! Somehow, i think God blesses me everytime i'm obedient don't ya think?? Cause Logan the guitarist that was on duty for tonight's prayer meeting went to Indonesia so I replaced him and i got a yummy delicious dinner. Thank God for all the good stuff eh? =)

Prayer meeting was great cause everyone shared their feelings and i get to hear mature people talk and i learn new things as well from pastor who chaired the meeting.

Well, i'm looking for a part-time job now because mum says i have to work my ticket back to Kuching and since i have one month free, i'd work and earn some money so i won't burden my parents too much. Praying for a good job.

Goodnight People

Butt Hurts @*#%$#!!!!

Today I spent my time riding bicycle in a park and taking pictures with Abigail and her brother. Abigail needed to finish her photography assignment so i was there to lend a helping hand. Her dad came to pick me at around 2pm and i stayed at her house playing PS2 game - Dynasty Warrior 5 with her brother while waiting for the sun to settle.

Around 4pm, we headed out to the park with bicycles.... and boy did my butt hurt. It's been a long time since i've ridden a bike. Since the day i got my car license, i stopped and sold my bicycle to someone... So yea... My butt and legs hurt but it was awesome especially i almost crashed into a tree in the park. =)

Helped Abi to take some pictures and after that, I had to take some motivation of my own to take some pictures. Here ya go

It was catching it's prey

Flight at it's best

When September Ends

Hope you guys like my photos though it's far from perfection but every photo has a meaning behind them. Photography is Art.

Genting Trip!!

Well, It's been an awesome trip cause it was my first time going to genting. My parents brought me there before but that was when i was really small so i lost that part of my awesome memory. This time round, i went with my housemates, Horng Yih and Alex. Horng Yih brought another three friends so i met new friends as well. We woke up at 7am in the morning, decided to have breakfast but failed cause Horng Yih needed to pass up his assignment. Starting off was bad already when i realised i forgot to bring my camera battery. Haha, imagine me taking out my camera and tried snapping but there wasn't any power. Sucks...

Anyway, we ended up in KL sentral not long after that and had subway for our breakfast. That's where i met up with Horng Yih's friends. I guess i'll let the pictures do more talking. Here you go.

Turkey and chicken breast meat!

Pretty lights outside check in counter

Our check in number was 0527 and it was only 0191. So we decided to explore genting for awhile and snap some photos while waiting for our turn to check in.

First World Hotel

I was complaining no air-con when i saw how "awesome" our deluxe room was but then i soon came to find out that we didn't need the air-con. It was freezing!

My favourite ride - The flying coaster!

Pirate Ship - you're on camera!

I didn't sit the pirate ship cause i thought it was going to go 360 but it didn't... baaa... cause i hate 360. At least i got to snap some happy adrenaline rushed faces.

First World Hotel. Love the colours

When i look at the exterior of the hotel, it gave me a good impression that the hotel won't be that bad. Especially the room i booked was called the DELUXE ROOM. Sounds nice right?? Well....

Our DELUXE ROOM tv.

You can figure out how big was our room...

The Genting Bus Transport

I almost puked myself in the bus cause the road was so winding and it never stopped turning left and right while going downhill. Had slight nausea but Thank God i made it through. A guy behind me puked and the stench of his vomit was contagious.... Phewww.

This was an awesome trip. A good 2 days one night stay.  But more than two days would be a bore.

Miracle Post

It certainly is a miracle that i can post this new post in my blog right now. I thought i was a goner because i just found out that the due date payment for my internet bill was 19 October which is way past already. I was looking for the bill a few days ago but couldn't find it and somehow i forgotten i had to pay it. Who knows i found it today under sheets of paper.

SUDDENLY, just few minutes ago, the data LED on the router disappeared and i thought i'm a goner because my housemate had to do his lab report, and i won't be home to pay the internet bill this two days because i'll be going to genting. In my heart i was like dam dam dam... and i was also silently crying to God. I tried using my neighbour's internet but then public bank's payment system is closed and would reopen from 6am - 12am. So it kinda suck. Who knows... when i came back, sat in my room waiting for another great day tomorrow, the data LED came back! And that's why it seemed like a miracle for me to even post this. So yea... thank God Tmnet was slow in blocking my internet. For once, i felt grateful to Tmnet.

Can't wait to go genting =) Goodnight people, sweet dreams, sleep tight and God bless everyone. Wheee

A little for today

Today i can finally relax without any tension of assignments crawling behind my back. So i was just enjoying one of my favourite korean girl group performing in a football stadium.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAnNgx-6Ehk < ------- Can check out their football performance dance here in HD!!!

I never really like girls who tend to portray cuteness but i think this group somehow attracts me. Love to watch their korean series as well.

Something happened just now... When i was in the kitchen refilling my bottle, i heard my housemate shouted, i turned to look wassup and saw that my indian housemate took off his pants and showed his "you know wat" to my other housemates. What insanity!!! I didn't catch a glimpse of his manlihood but by just looking at my housemates disgusted faces and comments, i could somehow picture what it looked like. Nightmares tonight. Haha

Alex : It looks like a trunk!!!
Zac : It was very bushy!!!

Medal of Honor 2010

This is one of those game i would spend the whole day just to finish it as soon as possible cause i love first-person shooter games such as Call of duty series and now that medal of honor has taken itself to a whole new level, i decided to buy the game and play.

It's kinda similar to Call of duty but just different settings. Unfortunately, i find some parts kinda frustrating and not as good looking as call of duty. So i give it a 6/10. But it would help me kill my time for now. I plan to finish the game soon.

I thought the poster of the game was rather unrealistic with a twist of coolness (the man standing like in crysis).

Far different from the call of duties posters which are more based on realism. Not really a good game to play, but it's always exciting to see how the story unfolds unpredictably.

Feeling Stress-free

JUSCO *I had to take a picture of this*

Today i woke up early for church cause i had duty to play the bass guitar. Enjoys every moment of serving. Then after church, i suddenly realised... OMG!!!! I basically had nothing to do and i was 100% sure i'm bored. Before this, all the assignments kept me accompany and i sure have to say now that i miss assignments. HAHA. Well, the day was great because i hanged out with some of my church mates, Abigail, Bryan and Eric. After much pestering and finding people to hang out with.

We had our lunch near our church at the Blue Dragon where they had delicious tomyam soup, one of the best i've drank so far... The owner is from Thailand so you know how Thai people are very specific about spiciness. Nevertheless, the food came and now my tummy is feeling slightly weird with some tomyam sensation pulling my inner guts. I thank God for good food. =)

Later on, Bryan said he wanted to go "kai kai" (walk walk), so Abigail drove us around and we ended up in Jusco! Had McFlurry Milo (Limited Edition) thanks to Bryan for treating me and i got a keyboard protector for my laptop. Had to change cause there were holes in my previous protector. After walking around, got tired we went home. So yea, i had to ask Abigail to stop so i could take a picture of the Jusco sign for my blog.

Having LSS (Last Song Syndrome) of Lenka - The Show. This song was stuck in my head few days ago and i didn't know wat the song title was. I know now so i'm listening to it now.

Had a wonderful day today.

Here we go

Lost and confused

It took me basically 5 weeks to finish this. Last two weeks were Monday to Friday full day 9.30am - 6pm in studio sculpting this little fella. I'm happy with my work. =) Hope you find it awesome too.

My Life is WONDERFUL

Ahh yes, the title says it all. I sometimes don't get why some people always tend to complain and frustrate about their own life. They just can't see the other side of life. And so they waste their time being discouraged in everything they do.

Just open your eyes and see that if ur always being happy about ur life, u'll save urself so much time and effort. So i was being in the studio recently day till night trying hard to finish my clay model. Just finished the colour profile for my character and just started to paint today. It's been a tiring day but it's still awesome. I'll upload the picture of my artwork as soon as i get it done. Although i ain't very please with my model due to lack of creativity and unattractive colours, i still love it because all effort was put into it.

Sometimes i do envy my friends who have bright ideas where they can create cute pixar-like characters and still find suitable fitting colour profiles. I got lots of criticism from my lecturers and would strife to improve. One thing i realised about animators, we tend to go on hyper-mode when stress. We do crazy stuff. I even wanted to push my friend who was sitting on a wheel chair across the corridor and of course passing through classrooms and ppl. HAHAHAHA. Animators tend to release stress differently.

Enough of the talking, here are some progression pictures of my model. XD

Skeletal of my model

Adding clay to the skeletal

Eating clay cause of frustration

Oi oi!!! Behind you behind you.

 

(From right) Alex, Kishore, Zac. Not to forget Kean Weng and Horng Yih

When i came down to KL to study, my condominium unit was empty, and i felt lonely. But now!!! I have 4 adorably insane housemates and friends from outside coming over to stay and sleep over.

So basically wat we do at night is we turn our unit into a cybercafe.
Games ranging from starcraft, dota and counterstrike.
Guess i ain't that lonely anymore huh. Everyone would shout oi!!! behind you got bad guy oi oi!!! in the middle of the night. Wonder if the neighbours heard us.

Last time when i was playing the guitar, my housemate sang along very LOUDLY until the guard came and knocked on our door. So yea... That's my nightlife most of the time in my condo.

Life is great with laughters and great buddies around you.

Moving House

Or should i say moving blogsite. I had a website that blogs and is much cooler than blogspot but then i find it very hard to keep modifying as it needs a little bit more of the computer expertise. So yea... i ended up using blogspot.com.

Well, i certainly would like to say welcome to Isaac's blog and do come visit every once in a while. It's easier to blog in blogspot so i would be updating this blog quite often. Hopefully capturing some awesome photos to acquaint with the stuff i'm going to post.

So sit back and relax.

Psalms 100
¹ Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
 ² Worship the LORD with gladness;
       come before him with joyful songs.
 ³ Know that the LORD is God.
       It is he who made us, and we are his;
       we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
 ⁴ Enter his gates with thanksgiving
       and his courts with praise;
       give thanks to him and praise his name.
 ⁵ For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
       his faithfulness continues through all generations.
