Home Crash: Wilson

Moving in, Movies in.

Tuesday, the Birds gather and meet up at Sunway Pyramid. I went there early so I had time to spare. Wilson got there and took my bag to put in his car. I went ahead and had my hair cut. Later, everyone met up at the cinema where we bought our tickets to watch Rio.

My first impression of Rio was "Meh.", but I change my opinion. Rio is off the hook! It was a splendid movie with catchy songs and a fair storyline. The thing that hit the roof was the the villain, Nigel is voiced by Jemaine Clement! The Nigel Song, was so full of Flight of the Conchords, the rhyming and all, Mal and I spazzed in the cinema. Kai was not amused, I guess.

After the movie, we had dinner out at a coffee shop after dropping our stuff at Wilson's house. Later that night, we watched Grave of the Fireflies. Unfortunately it was English dubbed. Really, really, spoiled the feel of the movie. Still, Laura, Chia and I cried. Mr. Anderson said before it was a very touching movie and that it'll make anyone cry. The others did not cry probably because of the bad English dubbing. We later played some games until 3a.m.

IMMA FIRIN' MAH LAZOR!!

Wednesday, we all wake up early and have breakfast together. Today we will be going to MidValley Megamall to meet up with some of our classmates and lecturers to play Galactic Laser Tag. Laura, Mal and I got into Kai's car and we got kinda lost, missing a few turns and we passed by the mall on the highway. Luckily we manage to make it back. Our lecturers, Julian, Honda, Charmaine and Benny joined us today. It was so awesome having our lecturers join us! Well I'm lazy to type out the details so you can check it out at this website. For all of us, it was our first time playing this game, except for Andrea as she had played before. We were all so excited.

We bought three games. In the first round, it was a free for all. So we just went in and started shooting at each other. I sucked, literally. When we got out, I was in the second last place in point ranking. Yeouch! My aiming was poop. In the second round, we were to get into groups. Of course, we split into Fluffies and Birds. The lecturers also split themselves into our groups, Julian and Honda went with the Fluffies and Charmaine and Benny with us, the Birds. When we went into listen to our Marshal's briefing, we learned that a third team will be battling against us too, they are a bunch of small Caucasian kids. This time I got better but my aiming still sucked. I learned that I can camp and snipe from the third floor. Up there, Chia and I worked together to shoot everyone else. We got out with the Birds in the lead with the most accumulated points. In the third round, we mix up into two groups along with the kids, so this time it's Red Team versus Green Team. I was in the Green Team. The moment the game started, the Green Team, without telling each other, formed a fort on the third floor and started sniping everyone else downstairs. It was an epic battle with the Green Team coming up in first place and much to my surprise, I got the highest points among everyone else. I guess camping and sniping is what I do.

We later had lunch at McDonald's together. Everyone was tired especially at the knees, almost everyone was limping at the stairs. The Birds split here because Kai had to take Mal and Laura home. I followed Kai while the others went back to Wilson Manor. When we got back, we took a bath and started playing games on Wilson's Xbox 360. I fell asleep half way and later woke up when dinner was served. After dinner, we played more games. By the time we got kinda bored, it was only 9p.m. We went back up to Wilson's room and we played some flash games. SenzO showed me this thing called MS Paint Adventures and I was reading one of the adventures, Problem Sleuth. It was full of ridicule and brain wrapping madness. I don't remember when but I fell asleep in front of my laptop. Later, either it was Kai, Chia or Wilson, woke me up to move me. I fell asleep immediately after moving.

Last Day

I woke up really late. It was almost 12p.m. Everyone except Wee had aching knees. After everyone had gotten up, we went down for lunch, except Wee. He ate his earlier and stayed in Wilson's room to read comics. After lunch, Kai suggested we do the Gaijin Yonkoma I had talked about before. Chia was up for it and he talked Wilson into it. Awesome! We went up and set up the camera and chairs. The shooting was great. One shot each and I was already at Photoshop and I made our first Gaijin Yonkoma panel. I'll post it up tomorrow. I hitched Wee's car back to Sunway where my dad picked me up and I slept the whole way home and slept some more until night.

Today

My knees are still sore.

Tetris Terrace

It's been awhile since I went back to Tetris Friends and when I did, I put everything back in order, yeah, I put myself back in first for each of the games (excluding Tetris Sprint SP). Also, I have put myself first in all the categories in Tetris Battle. I'd really like someone among my friends to challenge me by taking my first places.

BRING IT!

I CHALLENGE YOOOOOOOUUUUUUU!!!

Semester Break

It's the semester break and we have 3 weeks to have fun, fun, fun before we go back to college. Our lecturers have been telling us about practicing drawing and stuff, not to forget everything when we go back. I've been thinking of doing a project using my tablet because all I've been doing with it are doodles and sketches or simple drawings. I had thought of drawing a realistic-looking Pokemon? I don't know.

Before the semester break, I had been inducing myself in all sorts of Japanese videos thanks to WTF Japan Seriously. You can find the webpage it's www.wtfjapanseriously.com/ . Some of the videos are awesome, some a just weird and some are so artistic you go 'WTF?', hence the site name. I watched a few clips of a surrealistic movie titled Funky Forest and I had the worst mind fuck I ever had. I had no idea what I was watching but what I do know it's suppose to be art. It's thanks to WTFJS that I found a new favorite song artist, Genki Sudo, an ex-mix fighter who becomes a singer and a dancer. He does real awesome dances and his MVs include running around the city in slow motion. Here I also learned more about Takashi Murakami, a Japanese artist who's famous for his super flat work and also sculptures. My lecturer mentioned him a year ago, where I learn about Hiropon and My Lonesome Cowboy.

Well, all the artsy stuff aside, I'll be having fun, fun, fun for the coming week. The Bird's are gonna be staying at a member's "nest" for a few days. Activities are laid out and planned. Also I'm gonna be attending an EMPACT course this coming Saturday and Sunday.

It's Sem Break Bitches! Boo Yeah!

Title is self-explanatory. Vulgarity is used to express epic joy. No ears were harmed in making this post.

Tucked In, Sleep Tight, It's Time To Dream About Pokemon Tonight!

After the unfortunate earthquake that hit Japan, Pokemon Global Link's server shut down and Pokemon trainers around the world could not get access into it. Today, I found out that Pokemon GL is back and running. Know that mean means? It means it's time to explore the Dream World!

Today we don't have class so I basically was at home the whole day, alone. And today I basically did almost everything Pokemon. First I watched the thirteenth Pokemon movie, Zoroark: Master of Illusions, of course, I watched the original Japanese movie. It was awesome! Despite the fact it's always Ash and his busy body ass that's get involved with all the chaos and what not.

Later on I found out that Pokemon GL is running again. I nervously and excitedly got my Pokemon White linked and explored the Dream World. I tested this by putting my Patrat in. It was really a refreshing new adventure. On top of that I got a Tangela from the Dream World.

One thing frustrated me. I finished the storyline for Pokemon White already and new adventures await me. Pah. More like imba trainers are waiting to pwn me. In the last battle before the game's storyline comes to it's end, the Pokemon's level you fight against is level 54. If you have played the Pokemon games since Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, you'd notice the ridiculous difference between levels of you last battle before end of storyline and after storyline. These new trainers you battle carry Pokemon above level 64 and their strengths are over leveled. A 10 level difference! It's outrageous! It's absurd! It's imbalanced! How the heck are you suppose to face them without having to battle retarded low EXP giving wild Pokemon? This has never happened before in the previous games! And this, is what I believe to be Pokemon Black and White's weak point. Really, I was so frustrated and displeased that I lost to a mere NPC trainer twice! Even the EXP give-away Pokemon, Audino can't give me enough EXP to level up as fast as I could in the previous games. Now, all I can do is bear with this shit and fight fodder Pokemon to level up SLOWLY. Dang it! I hate to level up slowly.

Well to cool things off, I got some of those downloadable contents for Pokemon Black and White and also one of the special Eevee evolutions that was on give-away. I had to play this Pong-like game to get them and after a whole lot of tries I finally got my hands on Espeon. Thing was I kept getting Jolteon. Not that I don't like Jolteon but the special Espeon seemed like more of a promising choice for me.

I also downloaded a whole bunch of Pokemon TCG wallpapers. Haha! MacLappy is looking pretty awesome right now~

Quickdraw!

Hell yeah. I finally got my Wacom intuos4 tablet. I did some doodles for practice, like Julian said, "You need to get used to the tablet." and he also said before, "You need to get used to the markers, they are your friends.". But yeah, you can see the doodles I drew at my DA account.

Today I also bought the books on how to draw manga that I longed for a long time. Pun intended.

The book series, How To Draw Manga: Sketching Manga-Style are really helpful in not only in drawing manga but also realism drawings as the tutorials in the book use them as references. I only have looked through volume one only so I don't really know what to look forward in the other volumes. Oooh! How exciting! Not like I will actually draw myself a manga.

Well semester break is around the corner, three more days actually. The Birds have been planning on what to do in our three week holiday. Our lecturers however told us to continue practicing on our drawings and stuff. Charmaine told us to construct something in Maya and Julian told us to draw, draw, draw, keep drawing. For the past of this semester have been quite a ride for us. Sleepless nights and now sleep deprived but still surviving, I don't know about the others but this is actually fun behind all the frustration and depression and confusion we faced. Oh well, everyone said the same thing, "Year two, semester two is gonna the be the hardest time of your life in The One Academy.". Heh. Gotta buckle up for the next wave then.

Okay, back to my walk cycle animation.
