(i got motion sickness the previous 2 wk...maybe becos i had motion graphics lesson b4 playing..tats why...hahaha) speaking of motion graphics, Zi Qun and i r almost finishing with our first motion graphic piece of art! yes, i'm really glad that our Nike Burn Ad looks almost 95% similar to how we visualized it at e beginning. which means we are PRO!

then at evening, my fren called me to play bball....shit, my hands immediately become 'itchy'...my heart tensed up..i'm so ready to play! and so i followed my heart and went to play bball in chinatown. the fifth floor, where we called 'wu lou'....is a place full of wonderful memories...and this time round, i got to see my 'almost lost contact' bball frens....they are now studying in NTU. i remember i've been playing bball with them since i'm sec4....time flies. i played pretty well todae, made quite a lot of shots...missed plenty...hahhaa....won some rounds, lost some rounds.....the feeling is jus wonderful. and ya, weather is fine too :) btw,I HATE raining during weekends' afternoon to evening period....u noe why.

one day, you will hear my name from a stranger.

Boston Celtics

BOSTON CELTICS!!!!! my favourite basketball team rite now!

NBA for idiots (guide): National Basketball Association is NBA. the most well known, respected and popular basketball league in the world. where legends like michael AIR jordan are born! yes, jus remember they are people who can HANDLE and SHOOT balls better than most people on earth...LOL! They play BALLS for a living...earning BIG money and worshipped by many!

i guess i shall not go deep into NBA's history, but let me talk about the players.....of Boston Celtics, 2007. A team with the invincible BIG THREE!!!!!!



THE BIG THREE: (left to right) Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce.

Kevin Garnett. MY HERO!!! i used to use him as a reference for my character design-Mantisman! aniwaes, he is 213cm tall....he plays tremendously well at both ends of the floor...(e NBA way of saying he attacks and defends well...stupid!..hahahaha) kk, he oso has great leadership...but after serving Minnesota Timberwolves for 11 years....and not winning the championship (no luck i guess)...he decided to CHANGE!!! gosh, he's now a celtics.....joining Paul Pierce...another bright star that doesn't have enough support to win..


this is RAY ALLEN. sharp shooter. probably the best 3 point shooters in the league now. once in Supersonic and Bucks...now, he joined the Celtics too....thus forming the formidable BIG THREE.

so what does the captain of celtics, Paul Pierce, do? he jus need to do the warm up, smile for the camera and then play abit to entertain the crowd......
sorry this is not true....all three mus play real hard in order to win! the other teams rock too!

now they are 5-0, totally unbeatable...i guess its becos they are really unselfish players who share the ball really well....ARGHHHHHHh!!!! i love this team! it the kind of team that i can only realise in playstation....now my favourite players r playing together for real!

shiatz, i should be doing 3d animation rite now....itching hands.....hahahaha

btw, michael jordan had his own BIG THREE when he won 6 championships....they were scottie pippen, dennis rodman and himself...totally awesome too. he can't win without them.

do u noe the joy of winning and the pain of losing as a team? basketball provides me the answer.

3d animation

i went to sch todae(tuesday)....hoping to block out some key poses for my character animation 2's assignment 1....why can't i do it at home? good question, u need to have maya 8.5 in order to read that file to animate...and well, i'm still at maya 7.0...and the latest version for maya is maya 2008....holyshit! i can't keep up! its too fast........too fast for ME! the "high technology-phobia" boy!!!

the 3d industry is definately not my playground man....though i LOVE to use the 3d cameras...theres almost zero limitation. damn nice for a undecisive storyboarder like me....hahaha...well, i'm here to record down one thing todae....an awful conclusion...i can't be an animator...i don't suit this job, this job doesn't suit me...watever....i am discouraging myself to contine working on most 3d stuff (animation, modelling, texturing, lighting etc)...the softwares/platforms are ever changing....a small change in the interface can be a BIG piece of SHIT to me....tats how sucky i am when come to handling softwares...

2 months plus didn't use maya....(if i'm not wrong, it is a 3d software....lol)....well, i kept on tabbing e spacebar to move the 3d space...OOooOooOOoops, the spacebar is for photoshop..alt is for maya....ARGH!!!!!! super frustrating....

besides my incompatencey, my assignment's model's rig is *^*^&*%*%^&* + 1 million middle fingers....i jus hate it.....although i can't do a simple rig myself...but tt rig seriously suck...how can i put in effort when the rig (the soul) of the model is sucky?.....super demoralised....i suck and the 3d model's rig sucks....nothing worse than this man....can i still be an animator? rite now...a big NO! is the answer...hopefully i will change my view on this....

ya, so todae i totally failed to animate anything...wasted one damn day...hahaha, joshua was with me n we totally got fed up by the stupid rig! end up drawing on sketchbook LOL....now i came back home feeling damn tired somehow....low morale to the max......

tomorrow will be a better dae :)
