Piece of artwork

I started draw this piece of drawing at Friday night. I fully use charcoal. I get suffer during fill up the tone on the illustration board. I am not able to handle the charcoal very well. Only the facial part I make it for one night. The hair only spent me half of the day. My back bone felt painful for sitting there for a whole day. Really, I put the sufficient effort on that. What about I get a low mark for it? Don’t worry, I will kill Lx Mxx Wxx. Hahaha…. Let’s look at the incomplete work.

I know my piece still not achieve the high level skill yet.

Close-up.

Remain the background not finish yet and it will be complete soon. I will update the final piece later.

Time passes fast

Well, so fast step into middle of August. There are remaining around three to four weeks and going to end my first semester. Afterward, I have three months of semester break as well. So it’s the time to get a job. Actually I aiming the Photoshop artist which is doing the photo touch up. But I found that it is hard to get such kind of position. Either their requirements are too high or none of this position shown in the job search website. Anyway, I still keep going on to search it. At the same time, position of graphic cum web design is not bad too. The requirements are fine to me. I’m not expecting a high payment as I lack of working experiences. What I want is try to learn something new out of my school life.

In the other side, suddenly so desperate to own a digital SLR. Haha…. Don’t forget that the notebook is waiting for me. How am I going to own both things at the same time? The digital SLR actually uses it for my coming semester subject which is digital photography. Before that I planned to share it with someone else. As you know it is an expensive stuff. Later on I was thinking that since it is capture in digital form, if I own it still can keep it for my personal use, right?


Nikon D40x

Yes. I prefer Nikon. Maybe its sharpness of the image grabs my attention. I’m not sure the price yet. According to Malaysia’s Nikon official website, they list out as RM2, 988.00. They reported as it is Nikon’s smallest digital SLR. I had some research about this model in some of the forums. They comment this model everything is good but it lack of autofocus motor in the camera body. I don’t know how important the thing is. I need to know about that if anyone expert in this field.

Broke again!

As my previous post mentioned that there is no more financial problem on this month. Now, I’m broke again. Few days ago I call back and request for the living expense from my mum. She told me the problem not settles yet. But she still paid me 500 bucks. It sounds quite a lot, right? Honestly, it is not enough. Below is the calculation:

Rental: RM250
Bills: RM50
Transport: RM80
Total: RM380

See? Conclusion is remaining 120 bucks after deducting all the costs above. Try and think of 120 bucks how to spend it within one month. It means my consumption of everyday cannot over 4 bucks. Oh my god.

Yesterday I was walking around in Jaya Jusco’s food department almost two hours. What for I stay at there so long? I was like those stingy housewives who looking for the most cheap and worth goods ( cantonese called: peng, leng, zeng). I have no choice to do that.


I bought two packs of Cintan mee without any flavoring. Here offer me 8 meals. It is most cheap and branded mee. It cost me RM3.25.

It is black pepper source and use to replace the dark soya sauce. As the dark soya sauce cost 3 to 4 bucks something. I never try to mix the mee with black pepper sourse before. Ohya, it is only 2.90.

Unknown branded of chicken burger. The reason that I choosing it, CHEAP! Normally it is around 5 to 6 bucks. Now this one cost me 3 bucks something.

It is called “ yao muk”. Although it is 70 sen but I planned to divide it into 3 meals.

My favorite drink. It is the cheapest as well for 1 liter pack.

All the goods here total is RM14 and allow me to have 8 meals. Each meal is RM1.75. Now does u agree that I was like the stingy housewife? Fine, I don’t mind what your comments are. Finally, I hope Ah Sir read through my post. Wish that he understand my circumstances and not forcing me to buy the Bofa Set. /cry

Oh yea, this week I going to celebrate Yik Ming’s birthday too. /faint…. Help~ anyone can send me to the jail? Only jail will offer the free meal and accommodation.

Send-off

One year ago I took AirAsia from KLIA to Sarawak. Yesterday, I had been KLIA again. I went to airport see my sister off. Her company sent her to oversea as the training. The duration would be two months or maybe more than that. For the first three weeks she would be at Belgium. After that would be stay at Holland until end of the training. My sister is expected to go oversea since long time ago. And always due to the certain reasons she failed to do that. Yes, now her dream comes true.

I’m admired that she had an opportunity went out to Europe country. When is my turn? Haha…. Good news is that I can take her car. But then I’m going to use it start from next month. I know everyone curious that why I don’t take it as early as possible. “Got car woh, of cause faster go and take it then go to lepak”. =.=" I hope to get it immediately as well. But this month I was broke. My parents are not afforded to pay me living expenses because of the financial problems. So I have to use my own savings. Sign….luckily that for this month only. :)

Done!

I had done one of the assignments. It spent me one and half days to complete. It is really took your patient and sat down at there for a whole day did the cross hatching. Well, I’m not going to write so much at here. Below are the proceeding of my drawing.

July: Busy like hell!!!

Yes. This month is really busy, busy and busy. Next thursday I going to hang up one assignment plus a mid term. Then friday have to submit one assignment as well. Continue, saturday submit one assignment too. SHIT!!!!!!!! How could it be done within one week? For those who came from Form 6 worse than us. Totally they got five subjects to go. We got three subjects already suffer like that. I can't imagine how they settle all their works on time.

After my observation, I realized that they are really working hard to their works. I remember one of my previous housemate said that college and university simple a lot if compared to Form 6. The amount of the works is more than now two times. So I guess the current works are sup sup sui to them.

I was thinking that is it we are lazy? Or we still stay back on the diploma life? During our diploma, all the assignments would be submitted by the end of the semester. Thus, there are around 14 weeks to prepare everything. But now the situation is slightly different. All the duration of the works are within two to four weeks only. Too short! Well, there is no point to keep on complaining at here. All the works still need to go on. The things you need to do are try your best to finish up all. And one more, the works must be in quality as we are diploma students. Stress you know.

Fine

I received my final semester result. I was definitely not satisfied with it. I had put the sufficient effort on that assignment. But in the end, the one who just combined the proposal able to get A for that subject. What about me? I only got B. Below was the conversation between my mum and me.

Mum: next time don't be silly...pass all the works to your group
members. Then you will get A.
Me : you want your son fail in that subject,right?
Mum: if not what to do? Next time got the same situation don't
come and complain complain to me...

I know there might be some other reasons that I couldn't get A. The whole project divided to two parts. Firstly, the analysis report and presentation would be counted as individual work. The other part was the team work. So is it I lost the marks from the individual work? Perhaps.
Well, the grade doesn't represented everything. I understand that next time your boss will focus on your skills rather than the grade. You had the good result it doesn't mean you had the good skills. So I hope that I can balance both of it.
