version:0076

Reactivation. Dreams of an alternate universe. Dystopia and cyberspace are themes that I have admired for a long time. Films like Akira, blade runner, the matrix & ghost in the shell exemplifies universes that have been consumed by technological advances. They are worlds where society have been dehumanize and nature is no longer a significant aspect to life. Fair to say that the origins of the people in this universe too have been deprived. Congested streets, riots, downfall of governmental control, vehicles with tinted screens, epidemic diseases, contamination, disorder. The city has become a machine and we humans are considered as a product of nature are unable to cope with our own works of artificiality. Hence, body modifications , upgrades have become a human material necessity. We are able then able to prolong our own lifespans, enhancing thinking and physical capabilities. Within the city, exist an alternate reality, vast and limitless. A second life on the net, spiritually connecting man and machine.

0076 is a cosmic era, an alternate universe from Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin. This project was about creating a stage adaptation and a poster for the 1925 film. Hugely inspired by dystopia and the sublime, I wanted to challenge the design in making futuristic setting, instead of the original wwii. The battleship have been designed to exhibit technological disorder, brutalist details and weathering. I found an old broken television and its parts proved to give a some pretty good effects. The ships core had been taken from a cathode ray tube and the other ornaments made from components and circuit boards. decaying soilders...will continue tomorrow, sleepy now.

Reptiles filled a room in my mind last night

I hadn't been there.
Confined in glass,
they starved and died.

An incubating bird on her nest

rose and tore the shells with her beak.

Cracked eggs, half boiled.

All my actions will remain indefinite

and are subjected to change

they say that there is something in the forest

something there they don't know

But, I don't know

I just

Every now and then I have to read

All i see are blurry lines of words and words,

referring particularly to those stale reports.

I read through a few sentences

and get lost, not remembering

what i read a few words ago.

It makes it hard to progress.

He chuckles because he finds his own disabilities funny.

He enjoys the hot water pouring down his back

and the steam fogging the white lights of a white tiled room.

It is pitifully the only place to think, where

the thoughts wont go away.

I wish I had a book to note every single detail down

Or someone else in the room to do it for me

as he mumbles away to himself.

the sink hole, dusty shaver, the system, questionnaires,

the 9 hexagon tiles which came to a pattern in your mind

the tooth paste, the dusty shaver.

They never stay.

At least the notebook stays dry.

I like the sounds when the neighborhood howls,

it goes to show some of their instincts remain.

People from where I am from say they see things,

they howl because they they see dead pixies.

I like the chills.

Mostly, the good guys dies

because you die a hero or

live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Something from that movie

Me starting to see how it relates to reality.

Now me thinks those people who judge Mr.M are pretty dumb.

The phone vibrates next door.

You would say it is some kind of fear or

something less than...Large as that.

I would call it over analytical or attentive, ridiculously.

I think writing all your thoughts before you sleep is bad idea.

All those years of gathered sweat, gum, rotten milk and dirt

are likely to stay on your hand as you put down the pen.

More than likely, you are gonna touch your face whether

in your inactive state or when you wake the next day.

If you want somebody to listen to you

Then get yourself a vacuum cleaner.

You don't get it? Don't ask me I'm just a messenger.

So, starting to get annoyed with red zigzaggy lines?

How was I suppose to know vacume

was spelled with 2 you's instead of 2 see's.

You know,

you should take what I say less seriously next time.

Animal farm

The system

time

you do this you do that

time again

not any more

Cold sweat leaks from cheek.

One bad thing leads to a good thing.

Another bad thing leads to another good thing.

So bad things are actually good for you.

Part1

My last assignment before the short autumn break was due a few days before the weekend. Which means I had few extra days of recess. For a long time, I had a fiery desire to leave civilization, its structures and its sprawls. Also, I wanted to be away from the people I know and depend on. For a moment, I was hiking solo in the mountains. It was a self sentiment plan to find some sort of manhood or pride the way igneous tribes or lions would conduct. Just a feeling. In a way, I wanted to know myself and the world, without the influence of others, I wanted to explore the lifestyle of our ancestry origins and most of all, I was seeking adventure. I had always pondered over the question, what if you were brought to existence in a place, alone and without culture, how would you decide what life should be?

Over the years I had collected a number of influential characters who opened my eyes to simple pleasures. I was from the city and I wasn't as appreciative and adventurous as I am now. A year ago during autumn, I finally had my holiday, my escape, in solitude with the mountains. And it was a big step in self discovery.

My quest became obvious when I curiously stumbled upon two bags tied with tags handwritten" FREE" in a quiet night of my forestry uni. Its authenticity was marked with various flight check-in tags it had collected. They were old school, worn out external frame bags but, with some touching up they were going to be perfect for my hike. I finally took the orange one home, had it stitched and cleaned up. It was god-sent.

I made some faint pre-planning and took off in the darkness of one young friday. To be honest, I was a little afraid with the eerie absence of company. All sort of unknown consequences could happen to a person in almost all scenarios, as you hop on a cable car, going to the office, traveling in a forest alone. But mostly we tend to chat the anxiety away with a friend, feeling safe with their presence. Now, traveling in a lighted train with black windows, empty car, I am fully aware and suspicious all over my fears and the unknown anticipation. But really, I am not afraid of anything. lol. well, most things. The train stopped mid way through the journey, there were drunks, kookaburra calls, a sleepy moon-lit lake through the glass and at the transition in the next car, a man was sucker punched.

The train lasted until morning come. Immediately, I got on an hour's bus ride which finally brought me to my initial hiking point at the Caves. It had been a total of five to six hours of traveling via public transport. And as I arrived, I was greeted by the caves brilliant sky-blue lake which poured out its facade, painted over the years of melted lime stone and clay. I looked over the cave complex, over the mountains and I collected another sight of what my journey was going to be like the next few days. I stayed around looking at caves forms for a short while, then I started the hike. It wasn't long, that I was away from the caves and realized that I was completely alone.

I found myself surrounded by eucalyptus trees. Standing on a path six foot, sliced through the forest. And there was endless walking. Into repetitious and hypnotizing landscapes. And after walking for some time, I stopped to hear. I looked around and started walking and walking once again. Walking. I looked through the branches which caved the endless path, walking. The long tree branches like fingers which caved me in, the path and the roots, walking. They cast a crackly shade over us, devouring more with every step I took.

Walking, the leaves and the fallen branches crackle beneath my feet,
as I lay my heels in every feet.
And the leaves behind me rose again and crackle, like a stranger behind me, walking.
And as I walked walked and walk, the mestins clanked, my bag stretched and squeaked, walking
like a stranger behind me.

And I was walking as the path behind me was walking.
And path behind me was walking as we were walking.
and they were walking and walking, walking,
they were walking, walking and walking,
walking, walking, and waking

Soon before the parting of * and his comrades,
our leader, jagdeep(he the one who possess the vid cam),
had called forth for us to craft a film of some terrifying notions(my favorite).
We all contributed with our own individual ideas.
Ben had in mind a video of asian squinted eyed zombies.
Jagdeep, a horror remake of that guy pulling a piano and catching grenades.
I wanted a vid of a dark abstract atmosphere,
because i think that the real horror are the things imagined,
unimagined in ones own head. Phobias..ha!..you are all insane without even knowing it.
So, with the variations of ideas, we ended up extracting plot-bits from each of em.
No video of a pure plot was formed, only fun individual experimenting scenes.
We had black fabrics, a skull biker, corn starch, furniture and unprofessional acting.
The last shot we did of a dream scene where jagdeep was in space,
landing on to a bed which took form behind him. Then, he sang a happy song.
The creation of a masterpiece mattered little to me, I was just happy
that we had something different from the casual chit chat at the mamak stall.
good call my friend.
Nonetheless, the crafting of another plot had continued to haunt me for the next week.
Although knowing that it would not be realize, we still enjoy coagulating ourselves with
scenes and images in head.
Meanwhile, in a discussion between neurons in the brain.

Incinerate the affair scene and have it replaced..they are too deadly common.
We see them in chick flicks, action movies, pornographies and wild life documentaries,
we really don't need to see it in this one.
More twist please, more twist.

3rd Feb 9.27am
a text msg sent to 01xxxxx2417 :
Ola jagdeep, my star, I had just thought up a sinister plot at the dawn of this festive day. A short film of romance, betrayal and murder. Black & white and isolated colour for your cigarette amber. Your beautiful lover who you two had bond so intimately (female of course), have been discovered to have an affair. She attempts to murder you, but in your defense, you finally silence her with a microwave. Soundtrack, Hunter by Portishead.

death by microwave, splendid.

WAKE

thought i let you know of my new casual blog NO BIG IDEAS
this is it's first entry.

the first entry. A sealed occurrence to a life of any sort to bear a beginning. The same repetitive birth to bestow upon all living beings and in this case, a blog. An introduction, a greeting, an aim. I had always admired the dreamlike nature, for where there is no form of a start. To be cast in to a random portrait, a translucent experience which tend to go on with the absence of aim. Time could sink through the narrow glass slit, but only if it is possible to be aware of its existence. The placelessness and the timelessness becomes the state of immortal existence. It could take me. And I'd be fine in this moonlit sleep forever.

Asleep, bodiless in the absence.
Do you remember your state of nucleus?

I know I had not remember the time of birth. But, there was a beginning to my memory that had been illustrated so distinctively. My life begun roughly 3 years after I was born. My first memory. I remembered deliriously waking up to an animated glare, illuminating through the flowery barred windows. It was framed through the gap of pink glowing curtains that still confined the shade in the room. From my chest, the blood streamed hurriedly through me and I stretched this new obedient body in which had seem so familiar. I could not remember how the bed felt, but i could only imagine its touch had blanketed me, as ruthless the tides of the sea. I know of nothing else which existed beyond that. The happiness and despair of life hadn't matter to me, nor did the spaces beyond those walls. Then with my memory, laid pieces that still lingered and the most that went astray. And there is now.

1. I realize it is necessary that I have to write something during this specific hour and time, before I fade in to the thoughtlessness of my blank vacuum mind. My sudden change of mood usually comes to me after a collective saturation of thoughts during my lack of awareness of my physical surrounding, then the images of my meditation vanishes as though they hadn't ever rise from the dawn of thoughts. Perhaps another catalyst that falls in to formula of my own self destruction is my increasing temptation of dillydallying, particularly during this time when all tension of school have been completely relived of. I can't help but fearing that through this period that this collaborative journal would become no more than an empty nights sky. Didi, shadow and lear are now absent and have returned back to Easter and the Himalayas respectively and also a similar tale can be told about the others I know here. I fear that neither would I return to nourish our journal, and how i dread my constant lack of display of enthusiasm. I now stare across a dismal ocean of nothingness and time, stranded alone, holding on tight to my fractured raft. Would a single cloud or ripple take shape to satisfy my bored and longing soul? Nobody, nothing at all. I had quite a scare after i had eventually realized how I would cope through this absolute absence of company.There were more than once I have been placed in such a position, but never for so long, never this deserted. My intend from the initiation of this spontaneous wordy entree, is a chain reaction of collapsing domino's in hopes of boosting my spirit in creating more post and not deserting this journal over this long period. I have much to give, much was created since the beginning of this year, but never published. This journal has always been like music(with vocals) to me. The pictures like the melody and the words are of a lyrical and sometimes nonsensical nature that is destined to be vocalized(or to be unforgivably flush down the toilet). So aesthetically, it has been necessary that the pictures were accompanied with some form writing. I had always intend for you journal hoppers to just glance through the pictures without paying much attention to any of the words abstract meaninglessness(also because I do not have any patience or focus to read). Often enough the words of many past post are short, but they are emotionally figurative false impressions, I find them harder to produce, for my frequent logical thinking have barred almost all function in making them so. As, there are many still incomplete, I laid, paused and uncertain, i left them entirely, forgotten, never to return to conclude them. Still, there is a pulse present for their continuation where time will have be of their assistance.

2. What I usually have a tendency of doing over such a period is to make full use of my time making something or going on some adventures. At least my sanity would remain with a sense of direction and purpose. Since the completion of my first sitting device, there has been a longing to make a second but different piece of furniture. You could say that what I have in mind is not exactly an artifact which one is meant to fully interact. Its no coincidence that it's figure and form reflects the features of a door-less cupboard, but inconveniently, the individual spaces are already to be occupied with permanent objects, like the scene of the awakening woods in the autumn night, the indentation of a face on a page from a blind mans note book, stretched to the edges by the spreading of irregular threads, a pair of perfect phony hands tearing down the sockets, A space of belonging for set of experimental apparatus of an alchemist......and a lover's heart. And what ever artificial light in the mortal realm would signify the marble moon illuminating through the woods, through the eyelids of the blind, the star-gate and the frozen window above the napping alchemist. Somewhere in my archives lingers another nostalgia, a long forgotten one, an incomplete film of an unprofessionally made time-lapse which had been abandoned through the ages. Another, a plan of an unaccompanied odyssey through the never ending eucalypt woods stretching between here and Mt Kurin-gai. Oh when will these dreams become of reality. Or perhaps should they remain pure in thoughts?. Not these ones, for there are thoughts of objects of a decisive scale. Sometimes I wished that i had somewhat of an assistance, so that I am not alone through the endless nights, where we would lie here accelerating the oscillation of the stars afar, to pause the daybreak by the sea, or to perform a pinch of some spontaneous abnormal random deed. All these years of fulling ones needs in solitary is beginning to bore me. and Yet another set of desires are left to wonder. But sometimes.

3. I realize that they would have never have been realized if i wasn't left alone. I had always thought that one would notice more when they live in solitude, without distractions of twittering peers. however, neither is an overdose very healthy. Speaking of health and sickness. All I can recall now in my recent days under summer beams, are the loathsome bus rides that I've been frequently taking down town near the sea. I swear it is it's distortion of space and perspective that had been forced into my visual nucleus which had provoked my bewitched illness. The space in these buses whose constant moving background framed by bulky openings with exaggerated ceiling heights, stimulating my overwhelming optical illusion. and the midget sized passengers gather in a space meant for juvenile elephants. Worst still the lack of a head rest made the long journey more unbearable. My destination. You see, Ive been looking for a part-time job at a relaxed street near the sea. And in between going from door to door and street to street, I found some time at civic pack to pick up a book to read. and now will I confess of me and my readings amongst the birds and trees(not just here, but anywhere). I'll be frank.. i cant read! No kidding. Ok I can read but, it usually results in my constant false interpretations of my short attention span. I think I have some retarded syndrome in which I can't grasp and focus on things. Evidence is what i can give. For example, there was once some time ago up at the terrace where we were assigned to do a site survey. There was a guy down the slope of the site with that tall ruler thing, I was the guy handling the leveling instrument and rachel was beside me ready to take down any data that i was to announce. I looked through the eye piece and through the lenses, trying to focus on the numbers on the tall ruler. Ah, 2.16 meters high i saw, but in my announcement i said 2.46. Rachel wrote it down. I did not realize it until after identifying few other site points that data cant possibly telly. So yeah, worst with books and their flock of words crammed in a single page. I never understood how some of you are able to finish "twilight" in a day.I remember my first novel, the philosopher's stone, took me three months, Ha, finally understood the half of which I never did receive until I watched the movie. High school novels, lol, skipped straight to the synopsis. Honestly, I never had any interest in reading, but now I realize that there is so much that I would miss out. I have recent love for literature and poetry. Although now i don't fully understand what most of them really mean, they just sound lovely to me. So I'm also making use of this time to read intensively. I'm picking up the classics. I started with Joyce's "Ulysses" which I borrowed from the library. Read the first page, did not understand. Abandoned it for the time being, attempted on something easier, "the day I swapped my dad for two gold fish". Finished that, now, I am in the mids of reading a book by nabokov and stories by poe.

4. Many urged for my return this summer, there were a number of factors which had contributed to my stay, but I choose to remain simply because I wanted to "live" here for the moment. Although knowing that all company would now truly be gone. You must wonder is this my personal design for self torment? Perhaps. But not entirely, what i had in mind is more of an intended form of self discovery, an opportunity for a change of life style over this period, to be of complete independence and refuge. There are the ones who live and travel by the delights of solitude. They are the native tribes who live in isolation amongst the raw fabrics of the earth. Or perhaps the fishes and the birds who live by no other purpose than to just live. Perhaps they are the ones living the life, to be able to indulge in ones own instincts and to run in the valleys. Whats is left for one to explore if all knowledge is to be obtained so freely? I will live upon this land across the mighty seas which has separated you and me. I have miss my pals(and feelings as such needs to be endured), but I have not long for the places, the food(which seem to be utmost importance to msian's), the customs or the scenes in which homeland has given me. There is so much more to this world than the stillness of mountains and continents. I regret to say that I have no homeland, for neither do i belong here or there because it doesn't matter for All is significant to me. We are the eternal stardust metamorphosing through time, the amnesic ghost who wonders through the dimensions. From the mecca of our planet till infinity of space, my place of belonging reaches no end.

the confusion between sky and sea
(philosophy of sleep)

There was a cliff.
and off the shore, a lured splosh
from all the noises that have deafen me
their ripples, they pulsate away.
I pedal through currents
leading me to the gloom underneath.
Crying out a silence and giving in
I let the sea fill the hollow in me
and the tenderness I feel
like a dream taking over.

Subjective

Its amazing how far man has come since the rise of our species. We have become God like creatures, building empires, dominating the land, the animals and the weak, doing whatever we please. If anyone one modern day citizen were to be sent back to ancient Egypt they would be without a doubt be worshiped as Ra. It has always fascinated me by how intelligent we have become to assume and debunk the past, despite living in no other time but now.

Five months ago, during autumn, I recovered some fossils from Mulbrings. It was the first time I ever had a close up encounter with paleontology, consciously analyzing for clues of the past. The fossils date back to the late-Permian period, the era before the dinosaurs and it struck me because I had never questioned my self an eco-system before the dinosaurs. The thought of the geologic time and events before dino's had always been a dark empty void for it was never brought to my mind(until recently). Up at Mulbrings, the unearthed fossils were those of a marine origin and the ones I recovered were marine plants, Bryozoas and Crinoids. Its a great feeling to actually know the thing that lie in your hand is very old and has a story. But then I realized that everything around us too is very old and with an obscure past, folded from the present eyes. You just have to notice them. I'm proud now that i can now recognize them in rocks.

Stratas exposed at the cliffs of Glenrock by the sea could clearly tell you the multiple layer of events. The layer of sand stone, petrified forest, pyroclastic flow, lava,slate, dropstones from glaciers, repetitions, and now. The timelessness that is displayed on these cliffs, may be a fictional interpretation of the mind. It's often frustrating the things you been feed could be so subjective.While we were young we did not bother about what we learn, we'll absorb all the text book has to give. Now finally matured, we become more critical, identifying what we personally think is right and wrong(for all you know, there maybe no right or wrong). Geology is a young field, only around 60years old, young field or not, discoveries in any field would have many controversies.

So question remains, are these fossils that I am holding, victims of the great Triassic-permian extinction or the Noachian flood. Are these fossils 250million years old or are they less than 6000. Uniformitarianism or Catastrophism. Arguments that will never stop. A decision has to be made and I can't be caught in the middle of this dilemma all the time. It drives me. Learning is not that simple anymore, we can no longer swallow everything we hear, but it doesn't mean we can appreciate the things that contradicts.

Could we be like that anthropologist, who appreciate all cultures, who travels from one contradicting tradition to the next. Would you join the tribe and dance for rain even if you know thats not how the weather works? That's where the magic lie. Finding joy in the mysteries.

Can you spot a pattern?

After finally being able to see the faces of his kids,
he no longer needs the totems affirmation
because seeing them again is the closest reality could get.
What is reality anyways?
Should it be always perceived as the clockwork and logical universe?
It may well be as parallel as our subconscious
as we too don't know how we got here,
as not remembering moments after birth.
When Cobb awakened on the plane,
it felt as though I too had woken up
but reality is not as it seems.
The wobbling and still spinning totem has then become a
metaphor for the audience to question their own reality.
We are never meant to see the totems result,
because we ourselves can't fully define our consciousness.
and the definition of consciousness is never meant to be fix.
Your mind is the universe
and its is not limited to reality.

One of the most beautiful conclusions to a film.
I had always reckon that nolan wanted to put the viewers in a first person view.
He being a kubrick fan and inception expressing a similar feel to 2001,
would have really intended it to be religious and divine.
I dunno, no reference.
Why did nolan leave the audience to decide cobs faith?
to me there isn't much significance if we were just to decide if cobb got out or not
The films spirit has disembodied itself from the screen.
It had to relate to real life people.
and it was conveyed so poetically and yet so literal.

I found these 2 anime films on the net last week.
Both came with very lovely trailers and i have been begging to watch the rest of the movie ever since!

Heads up sleepy heads!
Stumbled upon something really interesting today.Its called Ferrofluid! What you see here is really not an abstract rendering by computer graphics. Rather more, contrastively, a still photograph(colours perhaps perfected by photoshop)of an elegant organic liquid structure. Pretty wacky huh? Ferrofluid is a magnet influenced liquid. The sculpture's spike patterns are really formed by magnetic fields. Think iron fillings and magnets. Anyways, Ferrofluid art is founded by Sachiko Kodama. Know your artists!

In contrast to common still art sculptures, ferrofluid is highly dynamic. Like an elegant dancer in the dark. Or more down to earth, a dancing meat grinder. You are able to witness invisible forces of gravity and kinetics expressed in this physical matter. Not the kind of thing u'd see every day(owh, but now you have youtube). I do think its form expresses deep emotions. But to be honest, in a more shallow and brutal soap opera mind of thinking, it does looks like a very efficient needle like thing to poke through someones head. Or you might swallow it and it iron maidens you inside out and many other creative ways you can do butchery. Yeah. I always wanted to be a doctor. But now i eat dandelions.

Here's a video to enhance your point of view.
Mind orgasm! ; )

-wow...surrealism,sci-fi, fantasy or whatever, is really coming to reality now. Makes you think there is REALLY nothing impossible.
OK. So, I'm going to go to bed now and dream up an advance tangent universe of the near future and Robert Patrick(T-1000) of Terminator2 murdering me in my sleep.

-Its a shame I didnt get to know about this earlier. Dunno about you all, but this vid's been uploaded 3years ago.

-Hey BEN check the vid out!Justin or nitsuj(if he prefers to be referred as his screen name) sez that U'd like it!

There were some buildings...
There were these really tall buildings, and they could walk.
Then there were some vampires.
And one of the vampires bit the tallest building, and his fangs broke off.
Then all his other teeth fell out.
Then he started crying.
And then, all the other vampires said,
"Why are you crying? Weren't those just your baby teeth?"
And he said, "No. Those were my grown-up teeth."
And the vampires knew he couldn't be a vampire anymore, so they left him.
The end.

lame shit

2010-05-14T11:11:00.015+10:00

lame shi*t
is what ive typed at the end of my wordy post.
the ones that i attempt to write so called poetry.
I was just trying out, so i guess im just embarrassed.
The addition of that makes me feel better,
like a value that cancels out the negatives.
I tend to do that alot, Im not very confident when it comes to words.
Sometimes i think some thoughts are impossible to describe in words.
I think because we are getting older and more mature.
We tend to think more deeply. harder to describe.
u'd have to think twice before you mention it,
thinking about how u'd affect others.
regretting what you said when you have
changed your thoughts a few months later.
I no longer talk about the things i once do.
I think i have changed, and im doing it to my self.
I'm usually in active in fb and msn.
My blog and deviant art is all I have
in terms of opening myself to the world.
I rarely do any updates, so a post represents a long time frame.
I wished i could update more.
Im not saying this to keep jut to keep yall constantly entertained,
but, also to satisfy my self, it feels good to post things up.
I like my blog
i spend alot of time to make it look good,
because of that i tend to be lazy to start a new post most of the time
and also because ive gone back home for such along time without my comp,
I tend to loose the mood when im back at it.
It occurred to me when I had a click on my page
and there were so many photographs and it took so long to load.
I realized 600kb+- aint small enough, have to make future configurations.
But mainly it was because it felt like a photoblog,
pictures pictures pictures.
honestly, I don't think i take nice pictures,
I take awful pictures, rarely any nice ones.
I dont like being categorize under "photographer".
I think photographers with dslrs have to take nice pictures
and sometimes present them sweetly in their website.
I think im limited to the ability of doing that.
I disfavor going to big events where everyone bares a dslr around their neck.
Being in crowd with similar hobbies taking pictures of everything.
Its as though photography is no longer authentic, and over-ratted.
They intimidate me and usually i rather not slip my one out.
Its a bulky piece of equipment that cost 2000++ringgit,
u'd outta get good at it. Can't snap a crap unemotional ordinary pics all the time.
No offence, this is just a very general thought, cant help by the way i think.
Then again, no point owning a 2000++bucks worth
of bulky equipment and not take a snap.
Nah, not a single picture is crap.
If you are creative, ud find beauty in the worst of things,
like the thought turning trash in to the place you live in.
I think ive lost that lenient and easy side of me.
I'm rarely satisfied and always think that im never good enough in anything.
No doubt, i tend to want to be exceptional good,
Not that im complaining, I guess being harsh on my self is my way of doing better.
Still i don't want this blog to be just a photoblog.
I like art, i like to express my creative side here.
an artist have to be brave and ambitious, going to places
where most people wont go. U'd have to be open to new ideas all the time.
And ignore what the world thinks or you'd never do it.
In this case writing is a form of art too,
Ive been shallow.
I've finally taken some appreciation in words lately.
I admire how they have the ability to think and write about stuff all the time.
lyrics by radiohead, movies by tarantino and kubrick,
poems and stories by poe, borges and gaiman.
and mostly, I'm inspired by words who are closest to me,
like the blogs of tee jowee and others.
I hope to learn more from all these kinds of stuff.

I'm not a photographer,
merely an assistant,
to throw it up sky high,
It tells me to smash it on to the ground.
The camera takes the shots it self.
and the universe is the foreground.

The Tourist

2010-04-29T11:31:00.041+10:00

I am a distant traveler,
floating upon the tip of a fence
built on a desert stranger,
stranger, as the rocks flow up from cracks.

I am an aesthetic voyager,
who strays into the delusions of apes time.
A voyager,
who ventures into the delusional ray of his light.
A voyager,
the kind that would never find your views, a crime.

I want to,
I want to be someone else.
I'll join both the clubs,
although still mazed in space,
i'll be apart of two imaginary place.

I am an explorer
between divine enemies,
bathed in water,
soiled in theories!

Nothing else matter,
But for the beauty of nature,
who has reach far off distance,
beyond time and culture,
as we play little significance.

Nothing else matter,
I just want to play safe.
I am looking for my ladder,
Otherwise ill be doomed,
beyond the depth of my tomb!

I'll be the tourist,
in your ignorant bliss!
Ill be apart of your clubs,
open-minded, curious,
with doubts.

My head is a cloud,
lost in your crowd!
Get me high on your cigarette of faith!
I feel a lot better now.

Merely a tourist,
unacquainted, desperately seeking truth.
Although, i rather disappear completely,
disappear from this world discreetly.

lame shit.

Its Experiment Time!

2010-04-19T22:48:00.018+10:00

Its Experiment Time!

//Bad typography is everywhere.
So here are some of the long awaited experimental stuff we did back when I was back home.
Been kinda awhile since I updated this thing.
I have a suppose i wouldn't be updating regularly from the time to come.
I guess this is the place where i often post the rare occasions of interesting,
sometimes strange, things i like to do.
Artsy fartsy stuff and journeys that i twist and turn.
Not gonna talk about everyday life like i used to.
Lol!...boring stuff...
Not to mention that im often busy with uni, n bad at expressing with words.
(Heh...me excuse for not updating. Pretty sure most of you bloggers have school out there somewhere too).
In fact doing these stuff here is my life and what i love to do.
I'm sure there are many ppl who loves photoshop and photography too.
I like to be original, and "try" to do less of what most others do.
Jason Loh thinks i have too much time on me hand to do these stuff.
lol.(well when i was in Msia, yes.)
Its a hobby btw, i guess passion drives me.

Yikes!
Too many words!
On with the photo captions!
So here are some of the stuff me, U-jean, Ben made.
This session i think ill call it, The unexpected murder?
Too proper i suppose. how bout, RIIPPP URR HEARTTT!
kinda reminds me of the chest buster xenomorph from Alien movies.
Anyhow, this idea initially came about during high school by
the three close buddies Chia Ming, Ben and Me!
The first unexpected murder was recorded down by hp.
Now, dunno where it has disappeared to.
Finally here we were able to re-make it at a somewhat
higher standards?

So heres ben with his "KILLER" FACE.
Unexpected victim stabbed?ripped?handed? when combing his hair.
killed maybe.
Shit lighting btw...
Crappier weather...
Was in a rush during the making,
had no other time cuz i was going back to aussie.
It was really sunny(evening sun), when we were preparing,
then it started pouring.
That would explain why we are wet in the pics.
Strange that both victim and killer are wet eh?
Anyhow, we were trying to get as much sun as possible.
We had no high end equipment, so bare with the pic quality.
You could just embrace the concept.
We had many trial and errors...well end results were still errors.
Perhaps we would make it again?

___________________________________

(Note: the following images are gif animations. Pls do let me know if they're not moving.)
OOOO...
these ones here?
you figure it out.
credit to jason loh for lending me his cam for a few weeks.

Ahhh,
These feet ones here, i had to once again, do it solo.
Took many many shots.
It was a hard process.
i had no one to check on the cam.
N again, no high end equipment.
tripod, remote, and a cheap cam
(welll, cheapest dslr).
the background so crap...
n it moves too fast...
Perhaps should have a dark piece of board at the back next time.

Guess where i was jumping on!
a. a black alumn tray on a table
b. Fish pond!
c. Moms car

Biggg mouth.
kinda irritating seeing these constantly moving pics eh?

Eh...Pantene Shampoo model wannabe.
You could easily neglect the dudes hair here.
you can already visualize him bald
or even how he looks in 20yrs time. lol
Nyways, the 3D shots were just okayyyyy
not perfect
Never improve if yur satisfied with ur stuff all the time.
Perhaps will we be up for another try?
Note to self: Place cams closer to each other next time!

ooo, its bens big head and his big idea.

Anonymous Hill

2010-03-19T23:09:00.019+11:00

Lost in an ocean of noise.
It was as though the landscape was formed by an infinite scream.

echoing through the walls,
forming the randomness and distortion.

If life is a road, it's corridor large enough to fit a crowd .
A crowd, who looks like you, act as you and live like you,
becoming nothing more of any significance.

Wandering shadows from the darkness to the light.
Can't be bothered about their life.
They fill up the foreground from behind.

Walking.
the tall walls cage you in.
In mad reality.

As a plane hovers over,
the flyby over the narrow opening only lasts for a moment,
Your subconscious mind keeps you alive.

Lost and confused,
the lonely shadow wanders,
it is me,
it is you.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. Time to die.

Lame shit.
Hey ya everybody!
ive been away frm blogging for quite awhile already.
n most of you know i dunt have a comp in msia.
Now that I'm back in newcastle. Week3.
It took me awhile to get back to blogging.
N i moved in to a new and bigger room. Yes!

Since many things did happened back home in msia.
I decided to blog bout all that diff stuff in sequence em events.
So ive started here, Hong Kong.
Well, the pics doesn't exactly tell most of what i did there.
just some not so random pictures that i liked and picked from the bunch.
But here below ill tell bout me hike to a very interesting anonymous hill.

I had a weeks holiday at Hong Kong.
I stayed at my uncles place at lantau island.
Lantau island is where the new airport and Disneyland is sitting on,
and its pretty much a fair distance from the city.
So one day while i was wandering around
i noticed a peak of a hill from a far.
N i told me self...im gonna climb it!

It was a hill that i had not much idea about.
Neither was i very familiar with the roads and the way to get there.
It was a case of picking a destination and to get there without any planning.
I liked the fact that i was gonna explore and find my own way there.
I had my eye on the peak and walk towards its direction.
And finally got to the base and its starting route.
It was easier than what i expected.

HOLY SHIT!...ITS A UFO!

This me second time climbing this hill and this time my cousin tagged along.
My first climb was during the day before, but i couldn't complete it because i had to descend early since i started late.
It was a fairly easy climb and it was a short hill, thats why i didn't mind going again.

It was the end of the winter climax when I was there.
So it wasn't too cold. The weather was great for climbing.
One of the things i enjoy bout this hill and the mountain areas here is that,
the area is clear from trees and shit, and ud get a great view of everything.

So this is the part where we were approaching the peak.
bout another 30mins climb from here?
Yeah it looks pretty near in this pic, but we were actually still that far away.
There were actually two people descending down from the peak, bet u can't see em.

Unfortunately, this was where my cousin worn out.
he was thirsty and tired. So we had to descend before reaching the peak.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

So I had round 3 of trying to complete this damn hill and went solo again.
Was alil bit frustrated that i couldn't finish this one earlier
could then have more time to try some other hills around the corner.

As you can see, it was a wet day.
Clouds fogged up the whole place.
Viability was only clear few feet around you.
I think bcuz of fog i enjoyed the climb even more.
Moreover, being alone with the landscape in this weather
and taking a risk made the climb more interesting.
I had a sense of excitement and also fear.

It was getting colder and more humid.
The wind was strong and rough.
It Whistle long and loud.
N I was going about to reach the top

As i reached the peak, there a was an instant halt of sound and the wind.
The chaotic sounds and pressure around me just vanished just like that. like what?
I guess it had something to do with the slope of the hill and wind dynamics,
shit like that. (true story...not speaking metaphorically)
I was standing on a small land and thick white fog around me.
It felt like i was standing on a small floating land in white light. Heaven?
It was the most surreal feeling.
The pic might not look much and there wasn't much of a view.
but the feeling up there was one that i had never experienced.

So i descended down after that, the fog started to clear,
all soaking wet and very much satisfied.
Surprisingly i did not feel very cold,
considering that i was wearing short pants and a cotton jacket.
N i saw a group of dudes coming down from another route.

Never really mentioned what ive been doing here at uni, haven't I?
Nyways, Ive just completed me first year of Architecture
and here is a little flash of one of me designs, my favorite one.
my fictional client re-reads stories
by the spanish writer, J. L. Borges and other specific authors.
i took extra interest on Borges cuz he is a surrealist writer.
So, I designed it in a way which my critics call "Borgessy".
.Anyways
Soooo...ill be going back to msia pretty soon.
Looking forward to see you guys back there.
Ok then, till next time.
Peace out sides.

Through Oceans of Time

2009-11-25T18:44:00.007+11:00

Hahahahaha...
I just thought to myself,
the title, traveling through oceans of time,
you'd be expecting some sentimental or ambient first image.
Instead, i used this amusingly chaotic one. Messed up the vibe.
Splash! hahahaha!
aha..mab some of u guys are wondering the wtf is big deal?
Hahaha...Sorry...im just shioking sendiri...
Fortunately, the title clicks with the second half of this post.

I just love this image.
So fun and chaotic.
Anyways, classes are over and the holidays had started.
Decided to head down the bogie hole and hang around.
this one of me fav spot in newcat.
I could stay there the whole day.
Just watching and listening to the breaking of the waves.
You sit on a rocky cliff and there is this
small river where the waves come in and break pretty close to you.
Gets you excited every time the splashes almost get to you.

Along came this crazy bastard who jumped into the bogie hole from the cliff.

I would estimate...
one a half or two stories high??
gonna try that one day when i bring me swimmers.

This is how it feels like to be in a tsunami.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Few days later i decided to take a hike down the beach and stay over somewhere for a night.
My initial intention was to hike down Sydney via a 14day bush walk track(250km),
"The Great North Walk" route.
But i dint had any camping equipment. Tent, sleeping bag, mestins.
Ultimately, my mom did not allow me to go alone.
Took awhile to make up my mind on what to do cuz i was still
driven to go all the way down to Sydney.
I recently watched into the wild, a story of Christopher McCandeless
aka Alexander Supertramp who was my main inspiration to go on my solo adventure.
I finally made up my mind at the last minute, to just take a short hike along the great north walk till the end of newcastle.
The last minute. Thats why the first image of this second half of the post appear to be pretty dark.
I started at Newcastle bout 7pm, then i reached the last public beach when it was dark. Mereweather beach.

Beyond Mereweather beach was the end of civilization.
Well, it is not isolated to the public. But, there wasn't any city lights or party music.
Not very ideal to walk the path during the night.
There wasn't a moon that time to give a little shine of the way either.
Aint that just the thrill of it?
So it was dark, i was alone and i wasn't very familiar of the route ahead of me.
The sounds of the breaking of the sea became more intense and i was worried that the high tides might flood the path.
The beginning of the dark route appeared to be really rocky. There were large boulders i had to cross. I guessed sandy areas were already flooded and i had to stick close to the cliffs.
I tried to minimize the use of the torch, because i wanted to make use of my night vision.
Not night vision goggles, the natural night vision ur eyes have if you let it get used to the dark for a while.

I finally reached the end of the beach and there was a route leading up the hill.
I settled down and decided to stay there for the night.
It was just me, the hill, ocean, and the stars.
It felt pretty awesome.
Anyways, i still wasn't that far away from newcastle city. I din't walk that long.
perhaps 7km?
I realized i had forgotten to bring my damn remote for the cam.
Couldn't take desired long exposure shots.
Thats why this pic has so much noise. I blew up its brightness on photoshop.
Sorry guys, ill go there again and take another.
Anyhow, sleep was awful.
the wind was strong, it was cold and it started to drizzle from time to time.
Once again, i had no tent or sleeping bag. But o well.
hardly had any sleep.

Dawn began at 5am.
It was freezing!
Quickly gone down the beach to do the shit(the photography thing).
The was air was pretty humid and the lens constantly caught vapor after wiping it.
The breaking of waves and strong winds added to the wetness of environment.

After taking these pictures, i realized that dusk make sunrises look like crap.
Actually, i knew that since a long time ago. Never really had a personal proof.
Sunsets are more colorful, the sky turns from red to purple to blue.
Sunrise, the sun rises and its yellow/orange all the way.
Unfortunately, im at the east side of aussie.
I dun get to see the western setting of the sun on the horizon.
The only reason why some of these images appear to be more colourful is because they are all heavily photoshoped.
Anyways, it doesn't mean I don't appreciate its beauty, ur able to clearly see the eggy edges of the sun. Which is quite fascinating.
Ah, sunrise, smunsrice, people who live by the sea who wake up early see it all the timeeeee...

Surfer dude just came out from no where.

Go slowly through this one.
Try to visualize it as a motion clip instead of individual still pictures, they are all interlinked.

_______________________________

Heya!..hope the images did not frighten you...
This is a personal project i made for the fun of it.
Well honestly, not all that fun.
Pretty sick of it and im glad that it is finally done!
It wasn't all easy as it looks, it took a lot of sweat, time,
trial and error for the lighting, effects and feel that i wanted.
Sounds insane, but i chose these 17 out of 400photographs that i took in the dark.
No shits, mainly bcuz i din have any assistance.
Editing process was shitty too.
Goes to show that it aint all that easy to work in Hollywood.

In case you are still wondering what all these strange flashy put together pictures are about,
It is an experimental mashed media commercial for Sennheiser Earphones.
This experimental style demonstrates that blurry pictures are not all that useless.
Also exploring fickle image transitions,
the different ways we can see things(distortion, burns, mirror, inversion, etc)
AND lens flares!(these pics, utterly unrealistic and overdone)

Perhaps not a very appropriate ad to be aired on tv because
it has quite a dark and frightening touch to it.
Not that i give a shit anyways, could be a Halloween special ad.

As a final touch, I also added a logo quote/catch phrase/wtv.
Sennheiser: "Amplifying Your Imagination"
the quote reflects on the story em pictures put together

Description on the less obvious things:
The ghostly figure in the story may not necessarily be a ghost.
It is a human who is doing some visually exaggerated headbanging
as he listens to loud music from a Sennheiser earphone.
The loud music that can be heard from afar has caused the torchlight boy to be delusional
which also cause the image world to erratic, referring to first few random images.
His delusions becomes more intense when he openes the door,
where the headbanger appears deformed, continuous movement,
thing like, wtv you wanna call it.
Finally, they both scared each other. end.

So in this story here, there are no ghots, just wild imagination caused by sensational earphones.
hahaha...fooled you didn't it?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

So any of you wanna suggest an alternate logo catch phrases for this one??
example, nike: just do it, honda: the power of dreams.
It doesn't have to be appropriate for everybody...
This is whole thing was for fun after all.
I had come up with a few and finally sticked with this one.

Chia Ming and Shin lin also suggested some cool ones:
Chia Ming: Sennheiser, Bringing sounds to the after life.(wicked sick!)
Shin Lin: Symphony of Apparition

Jings/Rachels Laptop.

My desktop.

Tragedy!!!
See the difference?
Something that i have discovered from jings and rachels laptop.
Ah!..my photoshop footprints made obvious through their screens!
Here's another one.

...........................................

Jings.

Mine.

I had no idea that i would have left such a trace.
As u can see, their laptop screens had some weird
brightness/contrast setting or something.
But no matter how bright and low contrast the settings my own screen,
i still can't be able to see em lighter spots.
Same story with my Uni's computer.

...........................................

Jings.
AHHH!!!...SO UGLY!!!!
STUPID RECTANGLE!!
Owh ME GoShhhHHHHH
cant take this...

My comp.

So i apologize for you viewers who are
able to see these explicit images all these while.
Perhaps only u people with em cursed laptops could see this.
Which im pretty sure most of you use laptops.

...........................................

Yikes!
Ok to be honest.
I have no idea how to fix this problem.
I dunno if its the screen or the image that makes this stuff obvious.
I also dunno what to describe it on google.
Is there some image finalization settings that im suppose to do on photoshop?
Any of you have any ideas, lemme know!
thx!

A Day on Mars

2009-09-24T03:28:00.019+10:00

Whooaaaa!!!...Dust stormed here at East of aussie!!
Soo exciting to have such strange weather...
I woke up and my room was red from the light out side..
When i went out i was like thinking...I'm on Mars...awesome!
The wind was so strong, everything seems dusty and deserted.
The next thing I was hoping to see was to see a tornado!

There should have more of these kinda weathers...
reminded me of eclipses and shooting stars...
Making life alil more interesting!
(despite the inconvenience, dusty surfaces, health and death of many living creatures and the screaming public in panic.)

It came and gone so hurriedly.
Nyways..all these here are some nice red pics...
This is Sydney. Newcastle aint got no fancy buildings.
So obviously they aren't mine...
My cam was with shin lin...
So wasn't able to personally take em shots my self.
Owh btw, if you guys think it is common for stuff like this to happen in aussie,
it aint...its unusual...

.....
Now, i can tell the people in Malaysia what it feels like to be on mars!
a poorly mimicked mars anyways...
but still fascinating enough for me live to tell my tale.

Nobbys Beach.
hur hur hur..another long over due post...
Only had the mood to blog like recently because me assignments are due soon
and when there are assignments...
I procrastinate alot...hahahhaha..
So here are some of the not so latest happenings.

it is spring!
the sun warms up the cool cool ambiance of aussie
and the beach is alive again!
However, there are still some people who choose to wear such 'appropriate attire'
and look so happy about it.

Whooo...so awesome to lie down on...
But damn sand gets into everything...
Bags, towels, pants, shoes, books, rice, dogs, koalas and son in laws.
Particularly my old camera which got killed by sand.
So people be very extra careful with ur electronics at the beach.

Thou we have came to the beach several of times at night and site studies,
We had never taken a swim.

I just thought that this was such a wicked epic shot.
Just so happened that there were two girls and one wearing a bikini in the background.

Coincidence?
Or did someone had a target for a glimpse of action?
......
Aha..im just kidding...

Insane freezing water.

Primarily, what i wanted to talk about in this post is that...
The beaches over at this end of the world is freaking insane!
Waves are massive!
well from afar it may look puny,
but the experience in the water was really awesome.
At one second, the water was around neck level,
the next, a huge wave that is higher than your head swallows you up!
Yeah, me and norm constantly got gobbled up by em waves and drank heaps of sea water.
Not really where i recommend you people to learn how to swim.

Sadly, we don't have no surf boards.
But if you make your body straight,
you may just slightly catch a wave.
Feel so awesome, i wanna get a second hand surf board!

Another sad thing that day was that there were no sharks.
No real live Jaws action...awh..
But we manage to find a tiny puffer fish on the sand.
It's dead.

As for these two boring people...
they regretted for not bringing swimsuits
camwhored and had no fun at all...
kidding, no camwhores here...

8-bit trip

2009-09-18T10:02:00.021+10:00

Ooo..Eff..
this is such a friggin orgasmic video!
(Lol...just had to use the word...
thats the only word that i thought could gratify it after reading
wing hang's orgasmic caramel fudge ice cream topping post.)
Hmmm...probably not very appropriate if a guy said it...

Anyways!
This perhaps the most insane Lego stop motion ive seen so far!
It's a tribute to em classical 8-bit video games, lego style.
Awesome music composing too!
According to the creators, it took 1500 hours to make produce it.
Shit, i would be happy burn that much time of my time to make
something as cool as this.
Just makes you feel like making stop-motion.

Go check it out n see what i mean! Watch in HD!

A MidwinterNight's Laundry

2009-09-07T22:34:00.056+10:00

Spring
the reemerging sun gathers the clouds

The day candle blows out
and a web sets off,
drawing an athirst spider from its winter sleep.
devouring its prey,
Vicious, Unforgiving,
Traumatizing.

Space
still cold and gloomy.

the only way to heat up
is to fire up a couple of cigarettes.

and Nature remains eternally beautiful.

At labyrinths end
wake up,
back to reality now.

. . . . . . . . . .

wake up...

I rubbed my eyes several times too much
things are still delirious
still disoriented
waking up towards the horizon of a narrow escalator.
but ill come to soon.
Sleepy visions in black and white.
where colour is pre-defined as of dreams of time hereafter.

Cold
Exhausted
Confused.
But it is slowly coming to me.
Slowly...
The intensity(colour).
I see it now...

A late departure at melbourne's cold winter night,
Silence
Emptiness.
6more hours and ill board another,
but im for sure yet, what? or where?

A star

twinkling ever so brightly,
wrapped around the darkness of the lonely sky
I move towards it,
slowly and gradually,
the little dot of light expands
slowly i noticed, this is no simple light.
constantly switching illuminations in an oval opening.

A window.
why a window in the middle of all this darkness?

Curious,
I tilt my head forward to have a peak through it.
i see,
The sun changing.
The world moving.

Moving...
So fast...
In hyperdimensions
long exposure lines.
My skin, blown backwards by the momentum.
Tears being forced out from my eyes.
My hair turns white from the excitement.
The world, i see at the degree of most psychedelic.
I started to scream at a mute.
as I began purging out contents of a digesting meal,
deforming it self into clear liquid as it departs from my mouth,
drifting weightlessly in this insane black space.
Simultaneously, I engorge a never ending flow of pressure,
forcing its way inside me even as i remain throwing up uncontrollably.
gaping through my throat, veins, nerves and eventually my thoughts.
Twisting my mind, flesh and bone.
My senses have been pushed to its peek.
drowning in exhilaration too intense.
My mind was once again, going...
Going...
Goi...
in....
ng..
g...
..
.
Eventually,
I came to this dismal vast field.
Relived by the past psychedelic experience.
Awaking in confusion of a glaring bright sun.
This familiar sun.
This place.

First lucky 7 words i said when i just arrived here:
"Shit, I'm back in this shit hole."

Heya people!
It has been awhile.
This is gonna be one of those over due post which gathers many events,
which will result into a very long post, with many many pickitures.
It has been more than a month since i came back to newcat.
But before i left msia, i told ben:
"Nothing wan laaa, I'll be back bout three months time, like going NS oni. ok, now i needa catch my bus to kem newcat."
So, i found a new place near uni.
Share house with with 4other people.
3mins walk to my class!
So if class starts at 9am,
i can wake up at 8.57am!
Nearer than rachels and normans place. ha!

My super small room
but ill be moving in to a bigger room when my house mate moves out.

Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

I know some of you people(especially girls) are suckers for this.
the cute stuff.
Apparently, my house mate have dogs.
So again i have pets in da house.
Bowey
Stampy
looks like a midget here

I think of it like a bonus that there are pets at home.
(Thou, the dogs shit all over the place)
The first place i stayed had a cat.
Now 2 dogs.
Doesn't mean aussies love to keep pets.
Most share houses don't allow pets.
Nyways, after staying with these 2 types of animals.
I think i am more of a cat person.
Yeahhh...i like kats.

beyond the infinite

2009-08-10T17:09:00.021+10:00

As some of u may have obviously noticed...
New header...
1st of all
Moon, not earth,
as u can see from my the source image above, a detailed moon.
I asked several people on their opinion of the final photo manipulated image.
mixed comments, mixed visualizations...
chia ming, benjamin, u-jean, faril and shin lin...
some say moon looked like earth
some say its not in earths atmosphere
some say moon should be more vase shaped to look more like a real balloon
some say too much glow, should lessen it
some say too blue, should be less saturated, like a real moon.
some say / asked why got pixelation wan?
some say it looks like i took a pic of a moon
and drew some lousy lines around it(this one i most agree with)
some say excellent, no probs at all.

Ill say...this is da weirdest, strangest, curious of works i made.
challenging the thoughts and opinions of diff people
At the same time, it is my most difficult work to produce.
I have no idea how to work with colours and making natural 3d images...
I have commonly been making black and white 2d abstracts..
So yeah, this one is kinda new.
Finally, i left it the way it is, no change.
Looks kinda like DreamWorks eh?

Only the moon image was used as an external source.
clouds, stars and other shit, photoshop cs3.
special thx to nasa or who ever for photographing the moon.

previous header
random dude falling and getting his head blown to bits

__________________________________________

This piece was inspired/copied from the hot moon balloon used to capture stray robots and finally sent for public demolition at the flesh fair
from the movie Artificial Intelligence.
So in other words, this one I made is a fan art for the show...
The design of the basket wasn't modified.
I decided to stick close to the original reference.
I loved the idea having a moon as a hot air balloon,
very imaginative and creative in a surreal genre.
Im digging surrealism now.
wanna think and express in that sense now.

So, here is a little look at the original frm the movie.

________________________________________

Spielberg's A.I. is one of me all time fav movies...ever
Old movie, i know, 1st watched it when i was 11.
one of the most moving and inspiring.
Extraordinary frm start to end
Development started by the late Stanley Kubrick.
It was until his death, the project was continue with Spielberg
Knowing that recently, i realize it's relation of it's story pattern to 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Kubrick's reoccurring themes and motifs.
Ultimately, The end, David's journey beyond the infinite in search for the blue fairy.

2009-08-02T02:37:00.008+10:00

you can't take pictures

you can't photoshop

you can't draw

Hope,
TRACING!!
It feels great to trace somebody else's super awesome art work.
Thou it aint originally drawn by yourself,
but the thought that you used your own hands to produce it,
convince you that it is your shit(your masterpiece).
The images traced are from different sandman comic strips,
featuring characters Dream and Death.
So, the only thing that is really my doing is positioning
n some other extra bits.
Kinda messy and crowded if ya ask me
and at the same time, a few dead spaces.
Initinal intention was to do some random practice on digital paintings
and some testings on the wacom,
which eventually became some fanart piece.
This here,obviously, black and white(i like b&w)
Moving in to coloured paintings later may be a killer,
hohoho.
I took half a day to trace this shit.
Tools of trade:Photoshop CS3, Wacom

So ppl who can't draw
....like me...
Trace!

2009-07-29T01:01:00.008+10:00

Moon(not new moon, just moon)
Daybreakers
Tron
Zombieland

2009-06-11T17:14:00.007+10:00

Thank you facebook for killing the quality of my pictures.

Finally, Yes!
After all these mortal years in this blogging realm of dark asylum
(Damn...have to stop putting this morbid stuff in everything i write),
Justin blogs about his life!!(the beautiful and colourful world)

Ah but you know me,
I like visuals.
I need pretty pictures to assist my words.
Then came the decease of my former tool.
Now,
At last, The new,
I have brought my fat, bulky and inconvenient cam out
Resulted in taking many epically failed blurry images due to my inexperience.
Blah! Anyways...

Sem 1 is almost ending and
us architecture people are done with our assignments.
Rachel and Norman are about to go fly back to malaysia.
Wait!
What about exams!?asks the non architecture student
We dont have exams!!!! hahhahaha!!
Well good luck to you ppl anyways...
W
W
W
.
.
.
Thou we no exams, we have shit loads of work to do ok...

So we went out.
Norman, Rachel, Crynl and me

We took a bus to Newcastle city.
Rm 8.9574179
per way ride.
Unlike Rapid KL,
with RM1 you have a whole day of of bus service.
recalling that I used to stinge with public transport in malaysia.
But of course it is still more efficient here

We ate at Blue Water pizza

Then went to the cinema to play air hockey
and watched Terminator salvation.

...............................................................................................................................

Errrr...
It was OK...i enjoyed it...
Disappointingly, most parts of it don't seem any like the original terminators anymore.
Feels more like transformers and some military war movie.
But i think I only liked the story of the cyborg terminator(which has completely swayed away from original terminator concepts).
I don't expect much from terminator anymore, after judgment day, its a 360 turn in setting and the story line. Terminators terminating all humans now, having the whole world involved.
While the old movies focuses on fewer characters in the past. But realistically, that's how the story should flow.
So when is Terminator gonna end?

One of the extras in the show which i thought was utterly stupidly unnecessary,
The CG reappearance of Arnold Swats-a-nigger.
WTF put him in for!?
He looks like the giant baby from spirited away..
Dun get me wrong, i love the dude...
His facial expressions...computer graphics and all that...
His role is also unnecessary,
failing the needs of fans which they should have ignored.

...............................................................................................................................

After the movie,
We went to Nobbys Beach
against the freezing blizzards of night winter(exaggerated).
Awesomely beautiful night,
Clear sky flooded with sparkling stars.

But nooooo!!!!
The uncalled for!
Glaring and intense urban lights that blinds our eyes!
Burning them from inside!
Restricting us from the darkness of the night(have to stop ghoulish talk)

Well, it dosen't bring tears to our eyes.
But it did slightly lit up the sky and
creating excess light to my long exposure shots.
Cant blame them street lamps.
Next time, I shall travel to darker ends of the beach.

Vincent

2009-05-29T00:25:00.010+10:00

A newly discovered amazing short movie that I have found...
Vincent
Another one Tim Burton's ingenious stop motion films!!
Also, one of the many short stories he made from his early works.
Tim Burton, one of my favorite people.
Admire his style and is talent in making Gothic poetry.
Genius he is.

"Vincent Malloy is seven years old,
He's always polite and does what he's told.
For a boy his age he's considerate and nice,
But he wants to be just like Vincent Price."

In search more of his unnotable early works,
i found "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories"
They are all words, so if interested, There's the link.
and Also"Frankenweenie"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I am also aware that Burton's upcoming movie for next year is the remake of
"Alice in Wonderland."
Which i am obviously, deliriously anticipating for it release.
It stars Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Helena Bonham Carter as red queen!
So, to my excitement, i went on to search on the first look at it.
And this is how our Mad Hatter looks like...
Not what i expected, but its alright!
It'll could still be ever hypnotic with like to see the characters come to life and when the story telling is brought to flight.
Took me awhile to realize that he was holding a rabbit.
Personally, it would preferable if he remade Hansel and Gretal or Wizard of Oz.
But i suppose that fairly tale wonderland could be twisted into his perspective.

The Black Freighter

2009-05-24T02:04:00.014+10:00

"A ROPE SNAKED DOWN. SPLUTTERING, I GRABBED IT... AND A CHEER WENT UP, BOTH GROSS AND BLACK, ITS STENCH AFFRONTING HEAVEN...I WAS A HORROR: AMONGS HORRORS MUST I DWELL."

I know i bragged alot about watchmen....
And i know it is not everybody's cup of tea,
but just bare with me here..
hopefully this is gonna be the last watchmen thing im gonna talk about..lol

Just when I finished my reflection upon the release of watchmen as a movie,
A prequel was just recently released on dvd's
The Tales of the Black Freighter/Under the hood.
Ahhhh yes!!!...More of them cinematic display in expressing the experience of watchmen graphic novel in detailed.
Which was a factor for me, because...
...Unfortunately, I wasn't very appreciative of the graphic novel because I never quite understand the Tales of the black Freighter, as it was layout in such a fading and reappearing incident. It was also very poetic and non literal, henceforth, with my utterly non-figurative mind, I took it for granted and read through that part absentmindedly.

Tales of the Black Freighter is a comic in the comic book, which reflects intimately to the main story of the watchmen. Its a story a pirate captain who had lost his ship and men to the Black Freighter, leaving him the only survivor at sea. He was intimidated to go to his home and save it from the black freighter. His determination drove him mad as he was still at sea........

Generally, I really liked the movie. Its a short animated film, 24mins long. Notttttt reaaaalllyy what I expected of the choice of cartoon style. I expected something more artistic, stylish, bold and different. But it was fairly a typical and safe kinda cartoon. So, i thought that maybe they wanted to focus more on the poetics and the narraration from the original text which i now truely admire.

On the other hand, other features in the dvd, including,
Under the Hood(a realistically re an acted documentary of Hollis Masons/Night Owl1's book and the minutemen)
Chapter 1 of the action comic(actuall graphic novel storyboard brought to life)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Other than that, looking Alan Moore's works in general, he is never credited for any of his works made in to film. Which really made me feel at unease because his stories are so awesome, and no one knows who is the original writer for them. In fact, he dosen't want to be credited towards films which he may say, disgraced his works, manipulating them, changing the total experience and meaning of them. Spoon feeding the viewers, not having the need to stimulate their own mind in wondering, wondering the twist that lies beneath them.....Anyways, he is the ingenious mind behind graphic novels like, V for Vendetta, Watchmen, From Hell, Hell raiser(Constantine)(involved) that are now made to films. As you notice, there are all mature genre comics, not em silly superman stuff.

With no doubt, i respect his comment. He is indeed nobel and proud of his works. After all, the watchmen graphic novel ranks #4 in all time must reads(includes all word novels). Adaptions may certainly ruin the autencity of comics. So is there a need to make this adaptations??
I dunno, i personally have V for Vendetta as me fav comic book movie, It was the best!!!..No shits...
But, yeah, still we are spoiled by the spoon feed stories which visual stunning effects are used to take advantage for our visual understanding. But, though we enjoy the sheer luxury of gobbeling them up and demanding more! Hmmmm....They shouldnt make no adaptations for the sake of the autencity of them comics? If they made it as good, ehehhehehe, they should make more!!!

Sorry, i make no sence, I am spoiled, selfish, weak, I wouldn't know these stories if it werent for the films nyways...
But what i am trying to say, if the makers are passionate enough to make them as close to the source, then perhaps they could be permitted to do so.

In the Making

2009-05-08T04:18:00.003+10:00

It is in the making.
Second time-lapse movie.
Set in Sydney and Newcastle.
I am very much driven to do a very professional one
and its not very easy to do so when I don't have the proper equipment.
So I am currently still experimenting.
None of the stuff above are gonna be used.
The stars aren't even in focus!

The intentional goal for this movie is to compare the urban world
and the human life style with nature.
Due to the change in seasons here, I will be shooting on and off.
Hopefully finish before end of this year?

Things to consider:
Location, Location, Location!
Clouds! Moon! Stars! Sun!
Direction! High exposure times!
Night and day! Light! Shadows!
Soundtrack! Mood! Time intervals!
Weather! People! Tripod! Battery!

Life it self,
would seem more clear when in fast motion.

Which is like the toddlers(as it appears to be) picture storybook version
featuring The Endless characters from my absolutely craved comic series
The Sandman by Neil Gaiman.
Whereby, this version, the characters, art and plot is cutter, kiddy and chibit.
I though it was cute actually and i liked it.
The uniqueness of the sandman is that it is art and characters are subjective.
It appears in all sorts of ways as it's characters and
comic art is done in various versions by various artist.
Well i don't know how to describe the stories.
It's a dark fantasy/fairytale that is
beyond my reach of words.(me too stupid to put in words)

I remember...I used to havr always to go boarders at the Curve
and sat there reading The Absolute Sandman.
Most of you would have known!
even during new years eve.
THEN THEY WARPED THE BOOK!(tragedy!)
n couldn't read it no more.
Why not buy you ask?
Too expensive obviously,
rm90+ per absolution volume.

But now!
I have found a way to complete my reading
of the other volumes!Aha!(like who gives a shits)
75 volumes and other sandman comics.
Whereby, I shall not announce howwww..
It'll be stupid if I did and i'd get in to trouble....
Dammit, now ill be distracted from studies.

Spock

2009-04-28T20:57:00.006+10:00

Upcoming STAR TREK film no doubt about.
I have never followed n watched much of the startrek franchise to be honest.
I'm more of a star wars typa person.
But, the trailer really caught my attention
and also the fact that it's director, J.J Abrams is quite reputable.
We all know it has many disappointing sequels in the past.
Therefore i hope this one it is not going to be much of an epic fail.

Hmmm...thats what movies tend to do these days.
Like the "the Spirit"
Thought it was gonna be as good as 300 or SinCity(2nd fav graphic novel/comic book movie)
was looking for forward for bout 8months.
epic failure.

Intense movie poster btw.(matches my blog...)
the villain dude from heroes which i forgot his name
suit the new look for Spock perfectly.
Mangkuk hair cut is the new look!

I am not very free people....
I have been doing this personal thing of unimportance
the whole friggin day of today.
Have been thinking bout this since yesterday.
Couldn't get it off my mind.
Which have wasted a lot of my valuable time
Neglecting my ASSIGNMENTS which are due real soon!!!
noooooooooo!!!!
NOOOOOOO!!!!
im screwed.
upside down. inside out.

Eye comes to Australia for Holidays, not for Studyings...

2009-04-25T09:14:00.030+10:00

Sorry dear readers!
i have been away in Sydney for the past Easter Holidays.
n there is so much to update about.
Moreover, the last post before this is also bout sydney.sigh.
So i got lazy to update all these traveling things.
Not really me to talk about what i did in near detail so often.
Nyways...
Just some bunch of pictures
and lil bit of captions here and there.

So we mainly went to three exciting places.

The Royal Easter Show

Bondi Beach

Blue Mountains

Royal Easter
Wtf i wanna take a pic with a bus for?

So its Azim, Jing's sister, her bf Ping, Jing, and Carmen who came later.

and faril...
from a distance...

Dog show

Faril's obsession.

So kids! here is where milk comes from!

Faril love lamas
We all know these are all farm animals...
Not just for show, but ironically, to be slaughtered later.

Caught in the act!!
Nah just joking...
as far as i remembered he was doing something else but scratching...

Incredibly long lens

Litter

Speaking of pure awesomeness!!

All the rides were insanely PRICY!!...INSANE!!...
This haunted house ride was 6dollars(rm15.6)...
The other thrill rides were 10 - 15 dollars per ride!!
So we did not sat on any...
Atleast, we manage to bare witness the stunning almost realistic atmosphere cought out from the outside of this pure awesomeness only looking haunted house!!!!

Yeah!!! Half vampire blood thirsty ghost witches rocks!!!
You even get to see some unusual round thing at my jackcet only in this photograph!
Ghost perhaps? Camera fault?
The effect is just awesome anyways.

Though we did not manage to sit any of the over priced rides,
Me and Jing manage to buy ourselves each a poster.
He got a Blink 182 poster,
I got my self a Sin City one.
Sin City is totally awesome.

So we finally possed with the giant fruit fish..

...then we went back to jing's place and play wii, and sleep.

_______________________________________________________

Bondi

So here we are at bondi's
One of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Crowded as well.

Cool Skate park by the beach.

After hanging out at the beach... we went to walk along the Coastal Walk.
Which had absolutely spectacular rock like thingsss...

After awhile we got bored of walking the man made routes,
we decided to walk on the rocks!

_______________________________________________________

Blue Mountains

Yeahhh!
so here we are at the Blue Mountains Echo Point view of the Three sisters rock formation!
Unfortunately that day was really foggy and rainy weather.
So all we could see was just white foggy space!

So after that,
we went on our adventure hike down the giant stair case to see some up close cool things!

So we finally reached the bottom of the stair case and it was jungle tracks!

So it started raining heavily, n we got very wet.
N cold especially.

Me and faril got only ONE leach!
I wanted more so that i could have free bad blood removal on me legs.
Not really,
just thought it was cool to see many slimy wormy like things sucking off the surface of my flesh.

We finally took the train back.
We were tired and extremely cold...
N thats that for my sydney trip wit faril and jing.
Mom and Grandma came the next day.
Came to newcastle to see the place I stay and etc.
Went to sydney again...
N went off at the end of Easter hols...
Bla bla bla...
ok bye got work to do...
Spent to much time uploading all this damn pics...

city sydney

2009-04-05T12:19:00.006+10:00

__________________________________________

Seems like i have been differing in posting past events.
broke my camera at the beach during earth hour,
arrived at newcastle a month ago.
But, i write but them long after the times it actually happened.
Now sydney.
I went there 2 weeks ago. lol.
sorry, i have not been busy then, but i am busy now.
So, i guess working makes me bored so, i blog now!

Sydney is approx 118 km away in displacement.
Not that far away, it shorter than frm kl to ipoh.
Yet, the stupid train ride was unnecessarily 3hours.
And it's 18 dollars one way.
Us group of friends here have to share money to buy a car man.
(just saying)
+ Sydney is really awesome.
i would wanna go there more often actually.
Considering going there for a part time job.

I got off at central station,
which is like where all the train lines meet up.
Consider it being like kl "Sentral"(sentral/central, yeah.)
but only way bigger.
As we already have guessed, overseas public transport systems
are wayyy better than any in malaysia.
Humongous trains mannn.
N they have a sceduled time table aswell.
Price is the only problem here thou.
Everything is over priced compared to rapidkl man.
Cityrail its called btw.

I bumped into Faril 1st.
He migrated to Sydney last year,
immediately after gratuation.
Stupid fella, did not believe me when i said i have arrived in Aus.
Well, i did pull many i am going australia now,
when i was no where near in schedule of of going there pranks on him.
Meet him at his Maquarrie Uni.
Went hiding around the corners so that he couldn't find me,
hoping that he'll think im still im malaysia.
We went to watch WATCHMEN again!
Its my second time,
And after reading the graphic novel,
I have came to notice some things added into the movie and
missing from the novel.
Which concludes that the novel is alittle bit better than the movie.
Well, they said it was unfilmable. But zack snyder did it!
N it was as close to the novel as it could have gotten.
Ok, im sorry i got carried away with Watchmen.
Back to sydney ok.
Anyways, i stayed a night at faril's.
Done for the day.
Owh n btw, Watchmen was uncensored at the cinemas here!
Wow, n their cinema adds are also,
unique from what we usually see in msia.

Meet up with Jing the next day.
He and Faril were gonna show me around the place.
Droped by his crib, went nandoes for lunch
and then went to check out his uni sydney.

Graffiti tunnel in his uni!
I noticed that the graffiti that fills the street here
are way more artistic and doesn't contain much explicitly.
Msia on the other hand, just writings on the walls,
with many pornography and negative political comments.

Awesome place man,
All these old medieval buildings.

Wow, something familiar.
They import wira cars?
Don't really have many people posing with a wira.

We were on the bus on our way to Circlular Quay
Then we passed by a rally. A free gaza demo.

Circular Quay.

We were on our way to Luna Park which was on the other side of the water.
We took a ferry there and went underneath the harbor bridge.

Thats a facinating big head.

Dunno the wtf is faril doing.
lol
see the rubbish sign above?

We were like damn gays man.
3 guys walking around sydney.
Going to these tourist attractions,
taking picturesss...
having funnn...

Epic.

Then we were on our way to the operah house.

Guess there is nothing much for me to say about what we did.
The pictures are doin all the talking.
Facinating building btw.
I have to analyze the building cuz i have to.
Studying architecture mah.

So, i went back to newcastle after that.
I really like sydney.
There are more mixed races here.
More happening here.
If i could, i would wanna come down here regularly!
Job perhaps.
Many students actually go down to Sydney to work every weekend.
So, we'll see.

broken cam

2009-04-04T01:42:00.008+11:00

not just any random artistic graffiti.
MY CAMERA REALLY IS SPOILED!
BY SAND FRM NOBBYS BEACH!
sand gets to everywhere,
your underwear,
your hair,
your eyes,
your cat,
aunty,
dad,
mom,
chuck norris
and now cameras
hence spoiling it.
Damn you sand of a b*tch!

Nothing more than blurry images can be captured now.
But the bright side is...
the cam was already very crappy and old.
I desperately need a new one...
Have another timelapse video in mind.
Not to mention taking pictures for me bloggings...
I prefer express myself visually.
Or in other words, i like pretty pictures.

The other side of the horizon (Newcastle, au)

2009-03-30T01:10:00.008+11:00

Newcastle, Australia.
Approx 118km away from the more familiar Sydney.
1 hour 28mins via vehicle
3 hours via train(damn train have so many stops).

photocredit: Gabby

Unlike a city,
Its a town,
linked to many suburbs.
Its massive water waves made its beaches favored by many surfers in Australia.
Many shark attacks recently aswell.
Looking forward for a real life Jaws intepretation!

photocredit: Mrs West

I am (censored)
A Malaysian boy,
a city boy,
who has been here near a month now.
who was from the other side of the horizon.

I stay in in home at Woodlands drive,Thornton,
more like a like a resort to me.
Gargantuan as it appears to be.
(you can google map that, there even have street view)

photocredit: Gabby

I am currently living with foster parents,
Mr Robert and Christine West.
They are really nice and friendly people.
(just to let you know that i did not bumped into psychos!)
I am their first home stay specimen.
They look after me and familiarize with the Australian life style during my home stay.
(when i say look after me dosen't mean i dunno how to look after my self)

Gabby West, foster sister.(middle, holding cam)
Joyce West, grandma(not in pic)

And a cat,
called Psycho,
who hangs around the house
and coming to my room regularly expecting me to feed some chips.

First impression that I had,
was my room seemed like a five star hotel room.
I have a balcony where i can go out at night and look at the stars.
and get bitten by mosquitoes.
On the right at the desk lays my entire desktop i brought from home.
And other stuff, you can see in the picture.

Fortunate as it may be to have picked a random home,
and to stay in a place like this.
Not every home stay has the entire package like this one.
We watch many many horror movies together,
talk and share about many things,
Go out, etc, etc.
Me and Gab may be going to some tourist, real haunted jail in Maitland!

Owh, random fact.
my backdoor neighbour owns ponies.
Plus there are many kangaroos which hangs around the place.

Studying at the University of Newcastle.
The university is practically like scattered buildings in a jungle.
Which means a lot of walking from one place to another.
I personally love the idea of the way it is.
The train stops in the uni itself.
But, it takes me avr 20mins to walk to my classes.
Unlike Sydney and Melbourne which are so called the second m'sia.
Its appox 5% asian here.
And there are about 300+- 1st year architect students in my course.
Less than ten, asians.
Not that I am feeling awkward, I alright about that.
Just that i'm not used to seeing so many caucasians.
They all look the same.
The blacked haired mata sepets seemed to be the ones who look familiar to me.
This needs sometime for getting use to.
Not to mention, the guys here are mostly buffed up suffer dudes here.
Making me some unique and rare chopstick man.

Just when you thought that universities are promoting
it's nice environment by getting students to sit on the grass and study.
Hence, putting their pictures on University brochures.
But, people here actually really hang out on the grass.
(This picture is not taken from uni brochures.)

I take a train to Uni.
25mins ride.
Everything here is firggin expensive.
Its ringgit to dollar.
4bucks per one way ticket!
Planning to work here next time if no actual Uni work piles.
Then, independently i am able to pay my rent.

I meet few familiar people that I really did not expect to meet.
Two actually.
Found friends as soon as i got there.
Hui Wen, a long time ago friend from a camp.
Rachel from taylors, artclass friend.
Rachel is in the same course as me,
meet few other people through her.
Like Norman(pink shirt) who was also from taylors.
Unfortunately,
i have not made any friend friends yet with any caucasians.
erm, soon perhaps.

So far, all things are well here.
It's a total different experience to be here.
Wished that some of you back home could be here with me now.
Btw, went to Nobbys Beach with rachel and norman for earth hour.
Went to sydey too last week.
A soon to come post featuring faril and jing.

Earth Hour

2009-03-23T17:34:00.018+11:00

Earth Hour has became a global vote between earth and global warming.
It started in Sydney in 2007, where 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their switches for one hour.
This year it has became global, urging for the world to vote earth with a target
of 1billion votes.
The votes will be presented to the world leaders,
where the Global Climate Change Conference will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, replacing the Kyoto Protocol.
This is the opportunity for the people of world to have their voice heard.
After all,
I am just one person.

2009-03-14T04:03:00.000+11:00

it has been a week now...

as some of you may have known,
or most of you who doesn't know.
I am currently in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.
Not for holidays, but for studies.
"Like already!? Why the hell are you there already!?"
Sooner than expected huh?
Originally and what i've told many,
i was suppose to go Perth at June or July.
But, thanks to someone who walked into Studylink...ahem...
I followed her in...
n some how,
some counselor dude talked to me n manage to get me into Newcastle uni.
(Newcastle Uni is apparently Top2 architecture schools in Aussie)
So I couldn't resist the offer.

Anyways, cut the Uni Crap...
The information of me going was less than a week before my flight.
So, it was quite rush.
Like someone said it was surreal that it was so soon.
I too thought it was surreal.
I only told the ones who were closest to me. who are only a few.
Actually, I had many plans of loiter before June.
Such as a road trip to climb several mountains,
to drive(i hav only driven my car for 1 month!),
rock climbing,
Biking, Taman Negara, hang out some more? and what not.
Well, i guess those are all scrap now.
But, on the bright side.
I manage to spend some last times with my close pals.
So, thanks you's for accompanying me to watch WATCHMEN!!!
and going to lookout point.
Anyways, Ill be back from aussie during summer holidays(dec).
Very unfortunate for some who are goin to Canada to study.
Due to different holiday schedules,
the chances of a reunion in Malaysia are highly slim.

I would like to apologize to those who i failed to inform that i was leaving.
Sorry that I am leaving sooner than expected.
Thank you to those who manage to spend time with for my less than 1 week in m'sia.
Thank you kaylee for stepping foot into studylink.
I know you did not meant for me to leave so soon and without intention.
But thx to you, i got a better uni!
So, if there is anyone to blame, you know who(just joking).
But it is for the best.
Ultimately, thank you those i have known all this while.
Whether ur that daily van driver who sent me to primary school
or that F**ing guy who robed my handphone
(dun actually know him but i remembered how he looked like).
You guys are the....
hmmm...
I have no idea what the hell you guys are
but im sure most of you know where im going with this and what i mean.

Finally, i have mentioned about this before.
For those of you who never receives a reply from my msn, dosent mean i hate you.
It's just that I am not really an online conversation or text msg person.
Ill immediately become lazy as i see that convo tab blinking at my task bar.
I know it is very unnice of me.
But fortunately, this blog will continue to be active.
So here is the place to check for updates.

Making Rorschach's Flame Thrower(reposted)

2009-03-12T22:31:00.000+11:00

Its a matter of time I suppose.

: )
im sorry people...
im just so obsessed with Watchmen now.
Watchmen was just a ****ing epic.
Stunning, Beautifully crafted, extraordinary,Terrific and etc movie(what ever you wanna call it).
Was practically blown off my seat in the cinemas.
Alan Moore and Zack Snyder are geniuses
9/10

Anyways...
As i watched the movie,
it came to the part where Rorschach was setting the policemen on fire.
I was humored by that scene due to its relation towards my "spitfire" post.
Its funny how my small and humbly simple fire became brilliantly exaggerated in the movie.
It was just so cool to watch.
So in celebration of that scene and my excitement over watchmen,
I decided to re-post "spitfire"

hello boys and girls...
feeling curious today?
Well i know i are and i found out something cool
wanna know how to be a super hero like Rorschach from the Watchmen?
ill teach you how to make his spontaneous weapon of choice.
Homemade style.( His is also unprofessionally homemade)
the flame thrower

Scenes of Rorschach setting the policemen on fire from the watchmen trailer.

me, setting fire in the air.

So, here are what you need...
Lighter.

WD-40.

Well actually any flammable liquid in a spray can.

Put the ignited lighter in front of the mouth of the spray can like this.

Then spray the whole damn can of fire anywhere you want!
Wheeeeeeeeee!!!.....

Works good when:
-scaring the shits out of ur neighbors barking dog!
-scaring away bullies!
-Burning ur grandma's ugly hair-do.
-Scaring away zombies of course!(zombies r afraid of fire!)
-Burning bee hives and ant hills!(dont do that, be nice to insects)
-and many more! Use it based on ur on creativity!!

No good when:
-Direct fire food cooking!!!(poisonous deficit of spray liquid is gonna end up on ur food!)
-At all times!!!(i noticed that everytime you spray this shit, there is black smoke!)
So conclusion is!!! No spray no fire around!!

A Comedian died tonight.

the dragon ball and chun li movie reaction

2009-03-05T12:40:00.002+11:00

3 weeks ago...
Friends Harry and Dick were happily driving on their way to a nearby hip place.
It was an ordinary day for these average and innocent teenagers who were just seeking fun.
Until they passed by something very...very...disturbing.
As they were driving towards the Damansara toll,
it was big, high, vibrant and hard to be unnoticed.
They glanced up to have a view beyond their windshield,
focusing on the nearest ad billboard.
.............
.........
......
...

DRAGON BALL EVOLUTION!?!?

WHATTtt ttTHERRR @#$*&%!!!
as you can see, Harry and Dick were horrified by the sight of the horrifying disturbance.
harry hates his new hair cut btw.

___________________________________

Note: i have not watched any of the movies yet, this is just my opinion on their before release.

Honestly, im no dragon ball fan. I have never read or watch any of the manga's and anime. However, i do generally know most of the characters. For i collected dragon ball stickers when i was young! lol.

I know many people do feel the same way I do about this. I feel that it is weird how hollywood could remake this japanese anime in to an american movie. I mean common, Goku is caucasion in this adaptation. The anime would definately loose its authenticity. Not to mention its reputation if the movie sucked.

Nyways, i actually found out about the release last year.
So to my curiosity, i went watched the movie trailer on youtube.
and here was one of me fav comments at that time....
It's just hilarious the way he/she wrote it.
Nyways, the trailer aint all that bad, just some real weird kiddy parts.
Well, kids show mah.
The explosion of the city strongly reminded me of the ultraman series.

On the other hand, it could end up as a good show.
I mean hollywood made many adaptations that we like and don't like.
Transformers-rocked
Spiderman-awesome
Punisher:Warzone-horrible movie
Street Fighter(the first movie)-Ok laa
Mortal Combat-good

So, despite the the caucasian goku and the other modified characters
this movie might just be able to blow us of out seats or puke in our popcorn bag.

_______________________________________

Whaddabout Street Fighter:Legend of Chun Li?
a second street fighter movie?
One of the Ugliest posters ive seen in all time
I think i can call this childhood rape since i liked street fighter.
And especially the character Chun Li
From this (chunli style: by artgerm)...

To this....Crap shes not even in costume....

I understand if they couldn't find a hotter chun li.
But, this street fighter is too modernize and does not follow most of its original reference.
Ultimately, chun li is caucasion!! or mixed?
As well as the other characters.
Stupid of em to even think of making a chun li movie.

2009-02-26T03:55:00.001+11:00

I have been craving to watch some the recent nominated movies.
Funny how most of us here find out about them during the oscars.
Majority of the films nominated through the years aren't shown in the cinemas here.
Excluding this year you can say.
GSC and Cathay are now screening some of em oscar shows that was originally released last year.

Anyways...
Ive just finish watching this oscar movie that i have downloaded
Waltz with Bashir
Wow...superb movie
Its an Israeli animated documentary movie by the way...
Bout the war and massacre in Lebanon in the past...
First caught my eye when I saw its concept in vexel art, surrealism and the comic illustration effect...Sooo coool...
Well, the animation wasn't the only thing good about it.
All was good.
Highly recommended to watch movie.
8.5/10

the Pink Repair

2009-02-22T13:37:00.000+11:00

As some of you may already have known, my ride is suicidal. No signal lights, harden tires, poor breaking, dull break lights, a busted head light, rusted wiring and several other minor deficiencies. Therefore, I dared not drove my car much. Previously, it was my uncles car and he left displayed at his car porch for about a year. Anyways, Pepper, thats what i call her. Me and me uncle went to fix the hunk of junk up so it'll be safer for me to drive. Not many shops are able to fix antique cars like this one. So, we had to go to a 'secret place'. My uncle directed me to this vw specialized garage shop in Kl.

The shop indeed did not appear to be very professional. However, i was astounded by the setting of the place. Many old stuff chucked everywhere. Messiness that was years in the making. The place was as like an antique like my car. I was tempted for photography time. No camera. So i used my cam phone.

Reminded me of Watto's junk shop from Star Wars

Anyways, got almost everything fixed. Had to go three different shops to fix different components. So, its now good to drive.

Bloody hot Wax
Just a little something new i made...
wanted to further experiment on black and white with isolated colour photo manipulation.
Not to mention the idea,
I was inspired by the many macabre and horror art on deviantart.
Then i finally came up with this.
If you guys are wondering, it is my hand btw.
Special thanks to U-Jean.

valentines day
not really a day of much interest and participation for me honestly(perhaps not yet?).
im not a saddist...lol
anyways and however...
I do love the world and all its wondrous things it has to offer.
like my t-rex here.
or maybe art, people, animals, technology, etc
Most of all, the natural ecosystem.
Not in a very good state, 'hurt' badly it currently is.
Make a change
I believe we can start small as an individual.
save water/electricity
use less plastic
recycle
do not litter
burn less fuel

Putra Jaya's new mountain bike track has been an addiction lately.
Ive been there few times already with derrick, chia meng, kenji.
it is just awesome.
Far better than the usual place i go to, Bukit Kiara.
The place aint like a jungle with unpredictable terrain like kiara.
But its smooth with many technical berms and launch dirt jumps.
Mostly machine made i guess. Derrick sez it's designed by some german dude.
Its a fun place and can be compared with favorable international tracks.
The only problem is that it becomes hot as noon comes due to the lack of tree shade.

view from above.
You get to clearly see this cool building and putra jaya city from afar.
great view for sunrise.

An awesome super fun to do U-turn berm. sometimes you get to see dust smoke off the wheels of moving riders. cool!

A friggin huge gap jump with a nice inclined receiver landing. Bout 18feet wide? Well its currently to crazy for me. I suffered too many past falls. I take the small jump on the right.

Whooo...i drove there with my moms car last week with chia meng!
It was the first time i drove solo!

Chia meng documenting the place with his handcam.

Eh?..whos that retard I see at the bottom of the hill?

Sigh....sighhhhh....its jason loh...it took me 40mins to convince him to come today.
Not to mention he got lost coming here.
Jason loh: Eh!!! How to go laaa!?!? I'm at jalan puteri!(wtf man, jalan puteri, lol)

I lent him my bicycle...errrr...you can say he din't really cycled the actual going down track.
well he has nvr done anything like this b4...sooooo, u ask him laaa how was it...

Anyways, Its a very small hill that is spilted up into 4main catogarized tracks. Jump, Downhill, Family, Cross country tracks. I and gang have only tried and been hanging out at the Jump and the downhill section. Since its a small hill and the track is short, we continuously push our bikes up than cycle down many times and taking short breaks at the pondoks. There is also a dirt jump park in the area that is soon to be open.

This is a good place to practice different jumps, stunts, cornerings, speed, whatever. For beginners, its quite safe if you go slow and then you can gradually learn.

..............................................................................

Justin to Jason Loh ( directions ): Very easy wan to go there! You wont get lost wan! Ok! You know sunway toll right?...Go follow towards putra jaya first. Then, after ahwhile you see the directions to Dengkil with Putra Jaya. Follow Dengkil! Dengkil is shortly after putra jaya...Then turn left into dengkil and turn left again at the first junction infront of the chinese grave yard. Then go straight and you are at taman cabaran putrajaya. You are there! now look for the pondoks on the hill.

Yet he got lost before putra jaya.

awakening( surviving a zombie attack in malaysia )

2009-01-20T04:08:00.000+11:00

hey...my mood has been drawn to zombies lately
perhaps is due to playing the intensifying left 4 dead and watching watching 'rec' recently.
So, ive been wondering what if...
A zombie apocalyptic invasion has to happen here, home, in malaysia.
so, here is
justin lee's
SURVIVING A ZOMBIE INVASION IN MALAYSIA!!!

AHHhhh!!!...Not em F**KING ZOMBIESsss!!!

pls ignore the obviousness of the Caucasians and blond women

01. resson wan(lesson one)
wtf are zombies anyways?
first things first, wtf is a zombie?...the image above may give a visual idea of a utterly confused one.
A zombie is basically reanimated human corpse.
We see many genres of zombies in movies. However, the most common type of zombies are the ones that begins as a viral experiment which eventually becomes an outbreak.
They usually appear to be brutally injured and dead because they are already dead but brought back to life! Zombies spread by biting normal people and infecting them at the same time through their saliva.
They are hungry and intend to eat you before making you into one of em.
ZOMBIES LOVE TO EAT: your flesh, intestines, small intestines, ah organs, perhaps genitals? and their personal favorite, brains! Not forgetting little children!

Killing Zombies
When you see a zombie, dont go like,
"Dude! im like stupidly shooting this ni**a at the chest like bout nine times already and its still coming towards me...what do i dooaaAAHHHH!!!...F**Kkkk!!! IT GOT ME!!!
Alright, so obviously, you have to aim the head when it comes to zombies. Whether you are using a gun, a base ball bat, a knife, or your ipod, thumbdrive, cpu(hey we have technology now). Beheading will work too :D

As you are having so much fun killing zombies. There comes a time when an emotional killing is neccessary. If so happen one who is close to you becomes bitten or infected, you and the victim must understand that the he/she is now potential zombie. Therefore, you must execute who ever it is. It is hard and emotional but it is only rational. Same applies if you are infected, kill your self, or request to be killed by someone else.This situation is one of the greates weeknesses in survival group, where one refuses to reveal that he/she is bitten. Remember, do not be selfish. You are risking the safety of your entire survival group.

Invasion Malyasia
There are many types of zombies that could invade the world. It could the classic walking zombies, running zombies or the ridiculous zombies that can communicate and pick up guns and shoot people(land of the dead was a retarded movie). For this case, ill pick the running zombies inspired by my favorite zombie movie, Dawn of the Dead by Zack Snyder.

Honestly, survival chances is quite slim in Malaysia. I estimate that 75% one will not survive the invasion. Why?
-Weapons
ultimatley, Weapons, we don't have gun stores like in other countries. A melee tool would be no match against running zombies that are charging at you. Moreover, after u successfully killed one, another one will come charging at you at another direction.

-Racism,
chinese guy: "gong xi fa chaiii...."
malay guy1: "Eh CELAKA, zombie cina!"
malay guy2:"Cepat cepat!, Api Dalam Lubang(fire in the hole)!!!"
sfx:"BOOOMM"
......(haha just joking, lol)

-poor military defense system
-Self destruction, alright, if kl gets infected, the goverment would want to keep the infection from spreading. The only way to be sure is that the infected area is bombed and wiped out. Well, if whole of m'sia is infected, im sure the us would like to test out their nukes.

But hey! you still wanna know your 25% survival guide right?

Survival
So let say you are awaken from your sleep by screams. Your curiosity draws you to look out side from your room window. And you see your neighborhood has gone down to hell. Early action and notice of the situation is very important. An early zombie attack would have less of them. So do something before its to late!. What exactly are you suppose to do!?

-Step 1: Dont panic!!! Immediately find a weapon. Wake all housemates up. The more the followers, the higher chance of survival. Remember, Keep Quite and don't create attention! Zombies are attracted to sound!!

-Step 2:check your house for any zombie scum. Kill them if there are any. Close and lock all doors, draw close all curtains, barricade any glass doors.

-Step 3:Be prepared to leave. Your home is not your sanctuary(your roof could be, but how long will you last?). In few hours, zombie armies will tear your house down. Pack supplies(FOOD) and prepare many many many home made explosives (MOLOTOV's). Well, molotov's don't actually create a big explosion, it just sets a place on fire. Something that many don't know, Zombies are afraid of fire!!

-Step 4: Leaving your home may be very dangerous. Opening your front door, starting your car engine may draw attention. So leave quickly. Throw some molotov's if nessary. When on the road, dont stop and drive fast before it gets jamed. Take detours. Run down anything in your way.

-Step 5: Where the heck are you heading to? Many will have in mind going to walmarts, shopping complexes, one utama, pyramid. I think, there are too many people there, zombies or no, its too risky. Too many entrance, glass windows, etc. We have to get to sea and away from this place. So i say, go to the nearest port. Port Klang!!!
-Step 6: When you arrive there, the situation could be anything. Some boats may have already left, many people there panicking, zombies already infested the place. Well, if its the worst, then you'll have to find another way, no regrets. If all is good, get on to a Supply Ship and sail away.
However, you face a new problem, surviving the members on your boat, for you may be at sea for a long time.

Reasons why supply ships are good:
-They have long lasting stock of supplies
-They are able to travel vast distances at sea
-hide in cargo boxes
-Able to stay away from land if bombing occurs
-If the whole world is infected, you can stay on the boat till you die or you can go Hawaii!!!

Don't forget to use many foul language when surviving.
If you have to die, may your last words be "Oh F**K!"

so thats that of Justin Lee's Suviving a zombie invasion in malaysia.
Do give your oppinions, comments and perhaps other ideas. There are many ways in surviving zombie attacks. Most of the time it is based luck.
So, i hope yall enjoyed this one.

Simply, I love movies.
I am a movie maniac.
Perhaps like one of those comic-con geeks who talk star wars all the time and end up arguing with the star trek or lord of the rings fans that u watch on tv.
Well, not that geek.
However, i do analyze movies.
If im obsessive, wikipedia the movie for more behind da scenes info.
Im usually inspired by films and i admire the people who puts it together.
There are all unique in its own ways. Some may fancy it, some may not.

So, there are the ones i like and the ones i don't.
As for me not having much light in the bulb for something to blog about,
Im gonna talk about movies that ive recently watch and finally give an over all rating for it.
If yall dunt like what i say bout a movie(cuz i know yall love movies too).
Sue me la!!

Anyways, the movies that i enjoy, importantly need these elements
-good plot
-creative story line
-stylish
-conceptual
-artistic
-realistic, in the storys own fictional background.

the genre i like most are:
sci-fi, horror, fantasy(excluding narnia)
________________________________________

So ill start of with a movie that i just recently watched
i watched rec just a few hours ago and they wait the night before in the cinema.

They Wait
Uh, dun even feel like talking bout this movie now. I personally did not really enjoyed it. Although my mom partially did. It was some what silly and weird?...Scary?No...
The story was based in shanghai during hungry ghost month. So u have all these chinese ppl talking funny english, which spoiled the vibe. The story was like any other ordinary ghost story and it was pretty direct. However, there were some sudden frightening parts that i enjoyed.

Overall rating:
3/10 decapitated heads

REC
whoooooo, i like this show. At first i thought it was a ghost based horror movie like Blair witch but it was a zombie cam movie. It's a 2007 movie but its being shown in the cinemas now. why? Btw, It is the original non remade movie for Quarantine. So, if u have watched quarantine(which i have not), its has da exact same plot. Plus this movie is in spanish. The movie uses the shaky first person camera thing. The shakyness wasnt overdone like cloverfield. There were many surprise frightening parts and it was also suspenseful. However it wasn't scary because zombie movies are nvr scary. The plot is different from other zombie movies. Usually zombie movies are about massive apocalyptic invasions, but this one is about the containment of zombies and survivors in an apartment. Pretty cool show. Some parts were boring due to the casual interviews with the survivors. But, it was necessary for realism.

movie comparison:
-Rec is better than> cloverfield
-Dawn of the Dead Remake(my fav zombie movie) is slightly better than> Rec
-Rec Vs Quarantine(i dunno cuz i hav not watched quarantine)

Overall rating:
7/10 decapitated heads
