I'm not saying that I'm good or great at the moment, but I'll say I'm a better me. Things have changed and we have to carry responsibilities like picking up my sis, doing the laundry, cleaning up the dishes after meal, preparing dinner and so and forth. It's nothing special or extraordinary but I think it's a big lesson for me and I learned a lot from there. The biggest sacrifice I think is my time as I have to sort of the task in my life and come up with a carefully planned time management plan or something.

If you didn't realized, I wasn't that into animals before my mum passed away. Sure, I love animals; dogs, cat, fish, and hamsters. But I'm not sure why, I did have a plan which is to buy my mum a nice big German Shepherd, so that she can help me take care of it and I'll just play with the dog. However, then I knew that it ain't possible anymore. So I decided to learn and understand dogs on my own and I believe I'm now at a point where I am more knowledgeable about dogs and puppy compared to my mum. I also learned more than what I'd expected from all sorts of aspects ranging from 'how to take care of a dog' to 'teaching them to perform dog tricks'. Out of all that, I still think that the best you can get from a dog is its loyalty and companionship.  Anyways, that's not the point of this post.

Wishing every mum a Happy Mother's Day.

Remember to love and appreciate while you can.

I am in charged of the advertising part which consists of posters (interior decoration type), brochures and web design. After weeks of endless progression and development. Here are some of the stuffs that I've done.

One of the posters out of the 3, this is basically just some photography that's edited then added in with some text. Nothing informative, as this for interior decoration purposes..

This is one of the pages of my web design. How's it? Looking good?

Anyways, it's just some sneak peaks. Nothing much to show here, but promise I'll show more after the submission. Until then..

Busy busy busy..

Come to think of it, I rarely share the works that I did. I'm not sure why I'm not the sharing kind of person, but I think I'm gonna' share more and more these days. As long as I have the free time.

My recent assignment is about branding, I have seen a lot of branding and corporate images in my school. It's a nice and fun stuffs, it's more like creating a new look for a product or company. It's a group project for this one and we decided to create a new company of our own. It's pretty cool stuffs, everything's under progress and not finalized but I think it's okay to show you guys what I've been doing.

This was the initial idea. Every time in design, most of the time, as students, our ideas changes as we develop on our assignment, it's always like that. Except if the concept and everything is too strong that made us wanna' be persistent with the idea. But I'm saying based on my own opinion, everybody is different though. As you can see, it's pretty obvious that I'm doing a corporate identity for a bar and grill restaurant, this is supposed to be the logo, but not finalized of course. This is part of the idea development, for us. It's kind of playful, colourful and kinda creepy at the same time, it was kinda spontaneous.

Later, we decided to do something different. Instead of bar & grill, it's now a wine bar. Which features something more classy, our expected target audience are the higher ups people, rich people.

The illustration beside the typos is done using Illustrator, the cork is created using pen tool with different types of stroke. This was something planned, I sketched and traced it except for the stroke. But I'm glad with the stroke as well. However, it wasn't chosen. It's fine with me, as it's a part of the process and I'm glad to have more development in the mean time. In fact, it wasn't accepted as it wasn't something they expected. Well, no hard feelings though.

Finally, this is the finalized version of our logo. To tell the truth, I kinda' like it. However, I don't get all the credits for this one. It's a group work, all of the members contributed their ideas and also their design to produce this final outcome. It's also a process after our lecturer's critique session. It looks pretty simple and more important, it really brings the classy feel out of it. Anyways, this is part of the whole assignment, a logo is like 10% of the final outcome.

Hopefully, there will be more to come about this assignment from me.

Feel free to give comment. Until then, chao..

Actually, I was pretty busy accomplishing my last year's resolution which ended up pretty bad. If you forgot what the foot am I talking about, feel free to let me refresh your memory by clicking here.

10.  Photography

So for number 10, photography. I failed badly, but I will keep that in mind and keep trying.

9. Gain Weight, Gain Muscle

Well, I gained some weight actually but I'm a few kg short from my target. So hopefully I can get it done in this few months time.

8. No more last minute work

Yeah, for the last semester.. I thought I did pretty well.

7.  Get a part time job

Nope.

6. Sleep earlier

I managed to, but not sure if it's consistent enough..

5. Touch the basketball rim

Few centimeters away. Sigh.

4. Get at least 5 meals a day

Yeah. I think it's okay for me.

3. Blog

I don't think so?

2. Love Relationship

Stronger than ever.

1. Stay healthy

Very grateful for that.

Really,  I think it's pretty disappointing. I'm really disappointed with myself. However, it's my first try. Anyway, I'll come up with another one and I'm sure I'll put more effort into it. Really, I don't wanna' say song only. I need to make it happen!

Some time later, see you.

It's almost the end of my holiday, I'm not feeling it's coming to an end yet. It's suppose to be my last week, but it's postponed because of the Chinese New Year we're gonna' be celebrating. So my holiday is kinda' rubbish. I spent most of my free time hitting the gym, cooking, playing basketball and uhh sleeping like no tomorrow.

I didn't have much progress from working out, and really.. I don't wanna talk about it. I'll just try to be consistent with the diet and save the talking.

In fact, I hooped more than working out. After hurting my back like a month ago? I began focusing on play basketball. Got back my rhythm in shooting the ball, wasn't consistent when I was busy lifting weights and didn't have the time to get back my touch. So I shoot hoops like almost everyday during those weeks and eventually became more accurate than I ever was. I'm glad about that, but I'm about to lose that very soon. I plan to quit hooping for like half a year.

Yea, you read that right. No kidding, not sure if I'm able to do so but I'll try. The reason is simple. Right now, my priority is my studies, gym and going for practical. I can't care more until I finished my practical in around July or August. That's my plan for this year, get to work in some fancy shirt and boots, also receive a paycheck by the end of the month. Sounds great!

So yeah, that's almost the summary of my holiday. It's gonna end soon. Bye..

By the way, Cookie came over for a couple of days when my darling was out of town. Look how beautiful she is..

I know it's a lil' bit late and all cause I was pretty busy and lazy last few weeks. Kinda' forgot what happened except for hurting my back again and helping my girl to babysit her lovely puppies.

The back thing was the reason I kinda polished up my shooting in basketball again and somehow I have to sacrifice gym even after I recovered from it. No choice, basketball is a lot more fun than lifting weights and eating right. Sorry to my body..

Anyway, it's New Year. Time to check if I accomplished my resolution last year and it's time to set a new goal for myself.

Cheeerrrrsss!

So recently, the greatest iPhone 4s has finally come to launch in bolehland, Malaysia. It's so crazy that I remember there was this countdown on NTV7 during the news on 12.00AM. They even interviewed the first person to get the iPhone 4s in Malaysia as well. I can't believe that he became a celebrity overnight  and I'm sure that made his balls gotten' a lil' bit bigger.

So how do you feel recently? Excited about it? Currently there are only 2 telco company in Malaysia with the iPhone 4s plan, which is Maxis and Digi. Both the plans for iPhone 4s is reasonably expensive. LOL, but people still buy it for some reasons. I know, it's a love or hate thingy for stuffs like this.

Plan for Maxis.

Digi Plan.

So, are you on an iPhone 4s fever? Not sure about it, or hate to admit it? Here's a few idea to test and check yourself out.

1. Research

If you're interested, I'm sure you'll go to the Apple official website and watch the promotional videos. See the features of iPhone 4s over and over again. You can watch it like a hundred times and still not being able to tell if it's the right phone for you. You also wanna' go to every telco company website like maxis, celcom and digi to check if their offers are suitable for you. Which is the cheapest? You just wanna' keep surveying and keep yourself in confusion. Because deep in mind, you really want it but won't admit it, and you also find that it's too expensive to own one. So what to do? Keep research only lorr.

2. Keep talking about it

Talking about iPhone is like a trend, comparing an iPhone with all the others Android phone is another hot topic. You gather with your geek friends to talk about phones and ask for opinions. Whenever someone says iPhone 4s sucks, your heart breaks. If that happens, you know you're in love with an iPhone. It's just that easy to tell.

You keep telling this topic to your parents, you keep telling them the cool features that iPhone has to offer and which telco company sells them in detail.You won't stop talking about it until they give u a response like 'why? you want get one harr??'

When that you get that chance to say yes, instead your balls aren't ready yet and suku suku reply "ha?? no la.."

You will also say that "too bad it's soooo freakin' expensive."

But when they say, "okay la, buy you one when you get all A's in your next exam." You won't even care if it cost RM 3000 anymore, all you think is...

"FUCK YEA! I'm gonna own an iPhone 4s realll sooooooon!"

3. Mindfuck

You have been using your NOKIA 3310 happily for the past years, no complaints and to you, it looks even hotter than Scarlett Johansson (seriously, I'll be sorry if you ever feel that way).

Now that the iPhone 4s available in Malaysia,  you feel that your 3310 looks uglier than Justin Bieber, the phone become somewhat lag-ish to you, and you feel it's not as cool as before. You used to feel proud when you can use it to ka jim (hit crab), and it seems so cool when your neighbours are able to hear your phone ringing next door. Now you feel that it's very embarrassing and you start to thinking of changing your old school phone into a smartphone. Something as smart as an iPhone 4s. It's all in the mind..

4. Use kiasu as an excuse

You keep telling yourself and your peers that you're not interested with any iPhone whatsoever. "What iPhone?! I dowannaaa.."

No, I don't believe you because when your friends all start to get an iPhone, then you start saying that you wanna' get an iPhone as well. Not because you really want one, but it's because all your friends use that phone so you don't wanna' be left behind. It's easy to deny whenever people ask since when you fell in love with iPhone, you'll say "Aiyorrr, no la. I see all my friends use so i also use lo.."

It's the lamest excuse ever but some people really buy it. So yea, if you're afraid to admit you can always use this as an excuse..

5. Use alone as an excuse

Life is unpredictable, we can't be accompanied 24 hours so there you go. You feel lonely when no one is with you and you really hate it. Most people hate it, who would want to live a lonely life? It sucks. But with iPhone 4s, you're not lonely anymore, not because you can make phone calls and text message because all other phones can do that as well. But with iPhone 4s, you got Siri. You can talk to Siri when you feel lonely and you'll never feel the loneliness ever again.

With Siri, it makes all the 'foreveraloneguys' wanna get one.

So are you on an iPhone 4s fever? I think I am.

So recently, I saw a few rumours saying that Facebook's gonna' shut down due to some bla bla bla.. Source: http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/27321/facebook-will-end-on-march-15th/

I don't know man, I heard more and more of these before all these. Some says you have to pay in order to continue with the service and some say you'll have to click this and that in order to confirm that you're an active user.. Don't get carried away guys, rumours have to be research to see if it's true.

Mehh.. I guess it's not so true..

Anyway, the reason I'm stating all these is because I remember the response I see from people in facebook wasn't like

"So I can't stay in touch with all my friends anymore?"

Hell, it's not even

"What the fuck?! I can't fucking add 1000+ hot chicks/dudes in my profile anymore?"

But it's something like

"Oh my god? So what happens to my Farmville, Restaurant City and etc etc?! I can't live without themmmmmmm!"

Yes, that's right. The impact of the games in Facebook is a lot more powerful than any other features from Facebook. How weird is that right? So imagine the hype you get from the games in Facebook. Mind you it's not even games like Call of Duty, Need for Speed or Battlefield. It's just games with video graphic from the 90's.

At least it's still better than the Pokemon we all used to play.

After some further analysis, I find that only about 20% of the players of the games are successful. So where are the rest 80%?

What have they been doing? What have they accomplished so far?

It's not like that 80% aren't good at gaming, it's just tht there's a trick to be successful in Facebook Games that they haven't found out.

Today, I'll unveil the secrets and present them to you..

1. Annoy People

It's so happy to see that I have 6 notifications after a day off from the internet. It gets me all excited to click the notification menu and check out if anyone left me a comment, tagged a photo of me, mentioned me and so on. But it gets a little disappointing and annoying when you see all those 6 notifications are game requests. Like what the fuck?! You'd be lying if you're saying all those games request never annoyed you even a little. To be honest, I used to feel it that way but I'm now on my way to annoy people as well.

Continue to send request to all your 400 friends in Facebook, tag them, ask for help using the chat service, help them and ask for help in return. Repeat and you'll be there in no time.

2. Post and Share everything in your wall.

It's not likely to succeed if you hide all the 'games-thinggy-thing' from your wall. Your wall plays an important 'advertising tool' to let people know that you are active in that game, therefore it will be good if other gamers know they can invest their time on you like helping you out so you'll be helping them out as well.

Besides, by posting all those stuffs on your wall, people get to earn some extra XP (experience) and coins (in game $) faster as well. So be sure to check out all your friends profile and click whatever there is for you to click so you'll be richer and higher in level than the rest of your peers.

3. Teamwork

For anyone to be successful out there, it requires teamwork.

Just like how MJ got 6 rings with 2 three-peats.

Like how Power Rangers are able to kick the monster's asses every single episode.

Don't worry.. It's not like you have to gather a team, and build a secret hideout in order to success. It's easy, really..

First, you have to create like maybe 5 different accounts in Facebook. Then, go to the pages of the games you're active in. Simply add everybody in the comments or post that says 'add me up' or you can post 'add me up' and wait others to add you up. Try to maximize all your accounts with 5000 friends and you're almost done.

Now you can easily asks for help, receive gifts and even if nobody is free to help you, you can always use your other 4 accounts to help your main account. Send cash, send gifts, and send stocks. Whatever it helps, just do it.

4. Your dad's Credit Card

This is the easiest and fastest way to become successful.

Just buy every coins and cash available and there you go. A billionaire in the game is almost effortless, a level 100 farmer is nothing than a few clicks away.However, if you really happen to go steal your dad's credit card, I am not responsible for your stupidity actions.

There, how's my secret recipe? You feelin' successful already?

I shaved my leg hair. I'm not  a fan of hairy legs, and my legs were pretty hairy to me. Of course it is no where near Kenny's leg but mine is still considered as hairy.

It's acceptable, yea i know that. This dilemma has been going around for a few months and I'm finally brave enough to do something about it. It's not gay to shave your leg, really. Armies do it for 'I-donno-what-reasons', bodybuilders do it so the definition of their muscles can be more visible. I do it maybe for the sake of visibility but there's a few % in me wanna' get rid of the hairy hairy hair?

Anyway, here's how it looks like after it got bald.

I feel pretty good when I look at myself in the mirror though, especially when I'm doing some leg exercise today..

Hmmm... Yeaa, but Sometimes it feels kinda' weird because my 'botak' legs kinda' remind me of Voldemort. :/

Creepy shit..
