What it means to be...

Hey people, I kinda am blogging quite often now.. coz you guys aint doing shit.. so well .. just for a small update.. tho i know u guys dont give no 2 shits haha..im on a 2 week break.. so ive got alot of time on my hands now.. anyway back to semi topic... on the wake of zils post on his blog which i read... id like to do a follow up sort of.. anyway I have this vid i wanna show you guys.. that i did myself... not sure if its good.. but hey... its always worth giving a shot... i know some of you guys already know my poster ? the flour sack poster ?? well i had to create a 3d anim for that.. like giving emotions to a flour sack.. its an age old exercise that most companies do to evaluate an animators skills... coz giving emotions to a flour sack is like giving emotions to a rock.. i used maya for the 3d..adobe premiere for the layout... photoshop for the credits.. and my illustrator poster that i created...Oh and the quality is a lil messed up coz of youtube.. i might be able to use bloggers vid upload but it takes forever and the screen is small as hell...





So that was it..so pretty much what zil said in his blog about alignment, text and crap all applies to wat i just did .. it took me i think bout a week for the animation and maybe 2 or 3 days extra for my premiere piece..
Theres one question I always wanted to ask you guys.. do you think you have been living to your full potential till now ?? I mean like in everything you do do you put your soul and heart into it ? coz right now i dont think i am .. and i better start..coz in life i think theres only one shot to make something great.. and if you mess that up you might have another one.. but it wouldnt be as great.. tho everything is a learning process.. living at your full potential is almost everything that defines you as a student.. whats the point if you are not ? On the same note, i would not think most of the academic students wouldnt understand tho it applies to them as well.. coz when you design something.. or come up with some animation.. we think through things alot.. really alot.. i would not want to go in to detail.. coz id have to list down everything that exists in the world.. im not saying its easy for you guys who study.. coz i know its not.. ive been there.. the thing is . have you guys been in our position ?? prob once .. maybe twice.. but have you tried designing something?? from scratch ? from nothing? from a blank piece of paper? blank illustrator page? with a specific criteria? i might not think so.. so for those who think this is a joke.. what we do.. think otherwise.. coz for us we have to live at our full potential.. to give our best performance.. to give our best most innovative design...and yes i have critique sessions as well.. to brace us for our future endeavors in the field we work in...

P.S. It was really basic stuff that I learned that was why it was done in 1 week.. this was like a foundation anim class.. and through my 10 weeks in that class.. i did like maybe 2 weeks animation.. and im not an animator.. i just wanna make sure you guys know that... im in interactive and game development...

First and foremost, this post is for my two friends, one of whom has been my friend for ages.. and the other .. whos just there.. coz of my first friend..... hahah ! im just kidding ... and these people are ken and carmen. This post will be a post by me for them on tips about their stay in the US of A. Also, to those who might in the future embark on a similar adventure. haha...! I shall give insightful experiences and tips so as to help you guys settle in a little quicker than usual... at least i hope to...because i was not given any heads up .. you guys deserve that little bit dont ya think ?

Okay,
Things to bring:
- Ken bring your balls, its gonna get cold up in Michigan since you're going right smack into winter. haha ! Carmen just bring a set of Winter wear.. haha!
- You might need at least one universal adapter just in case.. well i suggest so.. ok whatever im stating down is out of the ordinary ok.. their point plugs here are different... its the two flatty things u get...
- Bring some batteries, yes their batteries are like magnesium carbonated radioactive pulsar plasma liquid type, no they are not, just bring them, in case.
- Buy yourself a new wallet, cause i did... haha .. bring a portable hard drive... that comes in real handy... if you dont have one yet.. get one reallyyy quick..seriously... or in your case a USB drive.. that at least stores more than what you think you need.
- Carmen dont listen to Chia .. bring all your clothes... its shit expensive here...ok guys, stationery that can last you till the end of your first semester.
- Bring as many Blank Cds as you can... no till it fills your bag of course.. bring as many "lanun" cds you wanna use or watch or whatever you wanna do with them.. i dont know haha... cause whatever you want here remember are all orgiizz... so you know the drill...
- Ken i suggest you dont bring your "precious" "things" thingD.. if you know what i meanU... cause.. if you get checkedR at the airport... theyE will deport youX.. haha.. no im just kidding.. err..ill tell you later why.. but hey just bring it just "in case" huh rite ?? *wink* *wink* haha..!!
- Bring a chair, a table, a fridge, a stove, a microwave, some blinds for your apartment windows, some wires for your electrical wiring. Yea thats pretty much it... no dont bring all of those.. if you do ill laugh... no seriously... bring anything that you would think its expensive here... id suggest ur ipod.. if i can remember you lost it or sth.. get a new one.. if you wanna... its a tad bit more here...you dont have to bring bathing stuff .. coz theirs are great..
- Bring asam laksa, nasi lemak, tosai, maggi goreng, village park nasi lemak, roti bakar and curry laksa for me .. thanks.. owe you one..

Others:
- Okay, i know people have big misconceptions about the native culture of the US.. so guys just remember that the people in the US are just as much as a foreigner as you are .. its just that they have been here wayyyyy longer... and once you step onto the US soil... you are one of them as well.. so dont be intimidated... unless their Native Americans. and i bet you have already studied that...
- First thing you might wanna know... to call back to Msia... once youve arrived on American soil... 0116-01X-XXX-XXXX... or just use +601X da da da...
- Tips are important here.. but hey if you dont wanna its okay! haha... just be yourself.. i dont think that needs saying.. but yea..
- Well, youre gonna have friends already with you so itll be fine... i dont knw how youre getting to your apartment... so ahha...I dont know why that matters... haha..
- Walmart can be your best friend at times.. just remember they sell almost everything you can think of.. even..gardening tools...Krogers would be groceries.. and Publix.. but they are quite expensive.. but cheap in a way.. if you can find an Asian market.. it would be muchh better..!!
- When you meet people.. students friends or wtv... when you get into a convo bout your bground and shit.. just say your grandfather rowed a boat from China to Msia.. and thats how you were there.. Ive been doing that.. haha..hey its true ok..!! i know my background...
- Fast food restaurants do not have chilli sauce... ketchup thats it... sad i know... but youre up north so im not sure..
- There was once in a restaurant I went:
Me : Hey mam, can I get some tissue ?
Mam : No, we've got napkins.. but if you want tissue theres a toilet back there...
hahaha... yea thats how it is here.. but you know it doesnt matter.. coz its just a small thing..
- Remember when i said you dont really need to bring "*" ? A lil bird told me that theres a brand.... TROJAN... its good... its really good... the ones you normally use... is nothing compared.... to TROJAN... hahah..
- What else... TROJANs good...
- If you get homesick or sth along those lines... go chit chat wif your friends... or hey...!! you can always get them brand new TROJANs out .. haha
- or bust out your phone and start +601X....choice is yours... haha..

Well thats my sum up of what I think you should know before you come... haha well it isnt actually.. coz ull be fine..its just a post for you guys.. but those things i stated generally that you should bring ... seriously take a look at them...
