A Blogspot??

April 9, 2009 at 1:55 pm (Life In General, Uncategorized)

I created a blog over at blogspot about a week ago. And back then, I thought of that blog as just another side-blog, like my LiveJournal, but now, I’m thinking of making it my ‘official’ blog. Not really sure why though. Probably another one of my whimsical decisions. But I guess the ability to freely change and customise the template to whatever I want may have had something to do with it.

Yes, I know I posted about how I like WordPress better than blogspot about a year ago. And yeah, I know that makes me a hypocrite. So sue me. I detest myself. Whatever.

So I guess I won’t be using this blog anymore…?
Hmm~ Maybe I’ll still post my latest photoshop-related stuff……??

Although somewhere along my life I may suddenly use this blog again. I’ll never know.

Anyway, I still plan on using LiveJournal though. Because miscellaneous, trivial, random stuffs (or spam if you wanna call it that) need to go somewhere.

So yeah.

Vector: Hayato Gokudera

April 8, 2009 at 7:17 pm (Anime/Manga, Katekyou Hitman Reborn!, Photoshop, Vector)

My very first vector.

Gokudera Hayato from Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

Link to the lineart is on DeviantArt.

I did a vector instead of colouring like I usually do because vectors are quite simple and easier to do. I’m lacking the inspiration/motivation to do a soft-shade anyway.

Intuos4

April 8, 2009 at 12:49 pm (Life In General, Uncategorized)

God this looks so AWESOME!


I just found out it was just recently released and will be available in stores in Singapore soon.


New features include a customizable Touch Ring. This makes photoshop work much more convenient as it can be used to change brush size, zoom, opacity, canvas rotation and stuff like that. The Touch Strip of Intuos3 can be customized to only change one thing but since Intuos4 has a toggle button, it can used to change multiple stuffs. Cool.


Intuos4 also has OLED Displays next to their ExpressKey. That way, we won’t forget what we set the ExpressKeys as.


Compared to Intuos3, Intuos 4 also has twice the Pen Pressure Levels and a better Tip Sensor. Also, opening our favorite web browser and email client, or accessing our most often used commands can all be done quickly and simply with the Intuos4 Radial Menus.


Of course, there’s a bunch of other features as well, but I’m not gonna bother posting it all here because I didn’t really read through all of it.


I just bought my Intuos3 last November so chances of me actually buying an Intuos4 are zero. Sad, but true. Money isn’t the only issue. Well, actually, it is. Because if I’m loaded with cash, I would so buy this without a second thought.

But if I think about it, the features of the intuos4 isn’t really that much different from intuos3. I mean, I don’t really care about the pressure sensitivity all that much because I’m fine with the sensitivity of my intuos3. The Touch Ring of i4 would be nice, but the Touch Strip of i3 does it job too and the Radial Menu of i4 isn’t really important to me. The OLED display of i4 is cool but that too isn’t necessary.

I think the reason that really compels me to buy the intuos4 is the design. Seriously.
It looks so damn cool! Stylish! Professional! God it really looks so awesome!

Meh~ Whatever. I guess it’s not really that important. (But God I so want it…) I don’t use the tablet that often anyway. Only if I have the inspiration to do so. And that comes and goes. If I’m a frequent user, then maybe I would think of buying the new intuos. But I’m not. So yeah. Besides, I’m not a professional anyway. I just do it as a ‘for fun’ thing, like a hobby. So it’s not worth buying a new tablet.

What’s Next?

April 1, 2009 at 3:32 pm (Anime/Manga, Life In General)

I think I’ve mentioned this before but I’ll say it again anyway, for boredom’s sake. After the “O” Levels ended a few months ago, I kinda ’stopped’ watching anime for some reason. It was around that time that I started watching Lost and I then gradually picked up other TV Shows.

All those time, the only anime series that I was up-to-date with were Gundam 00 S2, To Aru Majutsu no Index, Soul Eater and Naruto Shippuuden.

To Aru Majutsu no Index ended last week. Gundam 00 S2 ended on Monday. (Technically, it ended on Sunday, but I watched the finale on Monday. So yeah.) And I just finished watching the last episode of Soul Eater just now.

All I’m left with now is Naruto Shippuuden. Which will not end for a very long time.

So what’s next? I don’t think only watching Naruto will be enough for my entertainment. TV Shows are entertaining, but they’re ‘realistic’, as in, no jumping across unbelievably long distances, no standing up after losing a lot of blood, no lasers, no explosions, no interesting fight scences, well you get the point. With the exception of Heroes of course. That’s why I like the show so much. Sure the plot may not be as great as it was before, but just the concept of people with abilities is interesting enough for me to keep watching it. Anyway, that’s why I still watch some anime. I need the fantasy. Because it’s not boring.

So yeah.

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, the side-story to To Aru Majutsu no Index, has been green-lit for production, but I don’t know when it’ll be out. So I guess I’m just gonna have to wait for that one. In the meantime, I guess I’ll be watching the second Fullmetal Alchemist anime that’ll be replacing Gundam 00’s timeslot.

I was also thinking of re-watching the first season of Gundam 00 or maybe Kuroshitsuji. We’ll see how it goes. So then, I guess that makes it 4 anime series again, excluding To Aru Kagaku no Railgun.

SP Scholars Programme ~Yes or No?~

March 22, 2009 at 7:20 pm (Life In General, School, Thoughts)

Just got this letter from Singapore Polytechnic saying that my GCE “O” Level Results and CCA Achievement (lolwhut?) qualifies me for the SP Scholars Programme.

Sounds pretty prestigious. And yes, I’m considering to apply for this programme. And yes, at the same time, I’m kind of hesistant to do so. So yeah, I am, once again, in a dilemma.

Anyway, this programme is all about developing and maximising intellectual and leadership potential. SP Scholars undergo special training in leadership, communication & interview skills, current affairs, and undertake overseas community service projects.

I’m thinking of applying for this for several reasons. One of which is because I think I should be more active and try to do things I don’t usually do and make the most of my time instead of just, you know, sitting in front of the computer.  It may also be a good opportunity for me to change. The more practical reason for applying is of course because it will make me look good when I want to apply for University.

On the other hand, I’m also reluctant. I don’t know if I want to change. I mean, I kinda like being an introvert and my indifferent and apathetic personality. And I don’t know if I would fit in with the rest of the people. Surely, these people are the kind who enjoys being with other people. Or is that just an assumption? And there’s also that laziness of mine. Always a problem.

I’ve never considered myself of having good leadership qualities. I just couldn’t care less about those kind of things. That’s part of the reason why I’m hesitant. The programme might not be suited for me. But it could also be an opportunity to groom my leadership qualities. That’s part of the reason why I want to apply. I mean, if I want to be somebody, I need to stand out right? And just being good academically isn’t enough.

When I decided to go to Poly instead of JC, I decided that I would perhaps be more active in my CCA or something. Pragmatically because it’ll make me look good when I apply for University. Is this programme the ‘answer’ or something?

Anyway, I need to decide by 31st of March.

*Sigh* Well, at least I know what would be my topic of internal discussion to make me go to sleep tonight.
