310 : Quick-time

A quick summary of things which happened all too quickly.

First up some design pointers i picked up while speed reading at a hon-ya.
- Using materials as a design concept or engine to propel a project forward.
- A 1 piece object vs a modular object
- Homogeneous vs Combination
- Function as a by-product of form
- Sophistication is a very useful word.
- Think multi layering, think kueh lapis.
- Think ease of production.
- Transforming 2D into 3D produces very intriguing results.
- GLASS vs PLASTICS


I did an interesting sketch today in which i gave it away to a new friend i met today. It was a piece of paper used to record scores with pencil but i doodled on it anyway. The table had some texture on it, and the pattern resulted of my pencil shading turned out wonderful.

Boy time passes when you're having fun. Finally got to met pravvy and gayry those 2 BFFs and got to see another side of human nature. Transformers was not as half bad as i thought, i did get a hard on when i saw the CGs. Oh and yeah, fox.

I dug this up while err sorting out my pictures back from way then.

Believe me its one of those less embarrassing photos lying dormant inside my pc. Bloody hell he looks exactly the same as 5 years back. Sorry gayyry. I'll this picture here till i find a lawsuit in my mailbox. And yes i only check my mailbox on weekends.

For those who didn't believe me when i told you guys i had an A1 picture of a naked guy in my room.

7 more weeks of course to go till another lull. Will take this time to bulk up (again) and break a few more bones. For the time being, i'll try to get less paper cuts while serving my clark duties.

308 : Carrot and the 100m long stick

Recently i bought Dan brown's The Da Vinci Code for a friend as a birthday gift, because throughout the whole of this person's life he had never finished reading a single damn story book. At the fiction section corner i got another book for myself for the long hours in camp this week, Digital Fortress also by the same author.

Its been 4 days of reading and i'm already halfway though the book. Pretty impressive considering i read the book during cough*toilet*cough breaks, lunch break and the 15 min train ride home, or any other chance i find myself not doing anything and waiting... which doesn't happen all too often thanks to my job =(.

Ok. 'nuff said.

I was talking to myself in the shower and i realised all this bad working conditions is due to the culture of the place and people. Ahmi is too concerned about image and the culture is just as the title says, Carrot Danglers. Promise you this that, but the action falls short of all the big talks, won't state any examples as there are just too many. Argh.

There was some concerned there are eyes prying the net looking for idiots who reveal too much about how ahmi is/was. There was also some concerned that as blogs are often accessible to anyone, my future employee or interviewer could run a search string on my name and err... read all about me. Responsibility responsibity. I know well even if one day i delete everything here, they could be retrieved somehow (i won't tell you how) and bam the past will come to haunt you.

So fellow readers and ahmi personnels bloggers, be careful what you write and be responsible about it, your ass might just catch fire one day without you knowing. Oh tweets are also being monitored too btw.

As a disclaimer to CC (cover car-chng), everything you guys read here are just to be taken with a pinch of salt, and never quote me and reference me for anything i write here. kthx.

At time of writing, i just saw the trailer for Modern Warfare 2 and this DS game called Scribblenauts, do check them out and be wowed. I've always been a serious player for COD4:MW and erm, its time to move on. I can't wait to play them coming... end of year.

Long way more to go for ahmi, 1 year 3 months. Loads of people left the service today, envy envy. My next 2 weekends will be burnt in camp thanks to poor planners and people who don't give 2 shiets about feelings.

307 : Oh no !

"We are pro-workers OEI OEI ! We are pro-business OEI OEI !"

306 : Lipsticks

So much to do so little time. Time, we all need time to do things, we also need energy and in a way we need sleep to regain that energy lost. And then there's food, food for the mind and the body.

Looking at the new Sims 2 game, well, with old concept, and looking back at my own life.... haix, what a mouthful.

My short short short 1 week block leave is soon reaching the end of its run. My 3 day genting trip was in a way.... fulfilling, as they say, time pass while you're having fun (and spending lotsa cash while at it), time flew like .56s whistling past your ass.

Its june now, midway of the year. I always seem to take notice of this every single year and blog about this, just check out the archives. Exactly 1 year back, i was in Sydney, enjoying the air, the cool nice 10-17 deg C temperatures with the azure blue sky over my head. Good stuff, during then at the back of my mind i was counting down to shaving my head and getting myself some good tekan. Now, with my this mini holiday come to pass.... what should i be counting down for ?

Some suggested my 21st birthday celebration... which is in like... another 4 long long months more. I'll probably be busy till mad as i'll be preparing to lauch to taiwan for training. Ok, how about year end breaks ? Hmmm... December holidays are just as non-existant as having a life. Goodness gracious. Fast forward a bit more, into 2010 august, and i'll be busy preparing for university orientation and mental prepness to study again, which means no holiday.... The next university school holiday, i'll need to serve back the extra 1 month i owe the nation. GG.

Its times like this you stop and wonder, what in the world are we doing with our lives man. Are we merely following the flow, having a few breaks in-between if you could afford and carry on a monotonous lifestyle ? There must be something else.

2 more nights to bookkkkinnnnnn. Dang i need more rest. Once the madness starts again, its gonna be another admin nightmare.

305 : A Sketch a Day

Black chinagraph on fine grain paper, 149 x 210mm

Kai's private paper bag of miscellaneous scrap sketches.

One night, it was freaking hot. I fell asleep on my comfy bed without turning on the ac or my fan.... but i dreamnt of this lady above. She was looking at me with eyes of untold sadness, as if telling me, hey dude life ain't too bad eh ? Lookee me, the worst for me was far from over, you just have to tong for another 1 year 3 months and it'll all (mostly ) be over.

A good movie these few week was probably monster vs aliens. The price for the 3D film, another 5 more bucks is quite worth it if you ask me. The animation is just awesome and the jokes, well, if you get it you get it. I liked the president's character and how he's being portrayed, makes you want to get into politics/power and push buttons, big red ones to make coffee.

I'm off for my much anticipated holiday this coming week as i'm taking (forced to) my 14 days of leave and heading off to another short holiday to lovely m'sia. I can't wait to see my relatives in casino land and relieve all those great times i had with all my y0unger cousins there.
