Ramble-ings Part 2

Sep 16, 2008 in Updates

2nd day of my course! After learning the Southpark style cartoon animation, now we are into the interactivity part, which I’m most interested in. But I hope we can finish everything today, cos it looks like there’s still a lot of things to cover.

So many things to learn and there are just so many tutorials that I want to learn. AE, fireworks, flash, etc… It’s a lifetime of learning man… Had a fantastic lunch in my office pantry area just crapping away with my colleagues. Heh.

Going for a short holiday in Oct. Oh no, I just said that I’m not going to buy any major things for the next 3 months. Is holiday considered an object? Oh well, I’m going to tw. Just discovered a short-cut way of batch resizing my photos in PS! Feel like an amateur man… Probably can post my paris photos soon!

Friday is a tiring day. Got OT to do until very late. Went to drop by SIM to ask for application cos need to verify that my employer is a SIM corporate member. It’s really a messy management. Tried to find the form online but to no avail. Then my colleague who took a part-time course there a few years ago say have to go down personally and got the form. We went down and they don’t seem to know what we are talking about. Blah blah blah… say the verification letter have to get from my boss, etc. After a long long ding dong, they say they have run out of the form, then ask us to check with the customer service counter. ZZZzz. We took a queue number and waited for about 15 to 20mins. When it was our turn, the lady took a look at our documents and said that we can submit our application on the spot! Don’t even need to chop our certs true copy! zzzz… Saw an interesting image on the SIM campus.. very interesting.. wonder what these guys are doing inside a dustbin =X

=====================

Sleepy Monday today.. Terrible traffic too.. I actually took 1 hour to get to work! Blame it all on the weather… I logged in today and was surprised to find my number of hits for today and yesterday was 100 plus and 400 plus respectively. Wow. Must be a lot of people searching for the blue pill, didn’t know it was so popular… (As I’m typing this, the number of hits went up to 730 for today.. =_=!!)

I’m on flash course for these two days, something that I have never touch before. And the instructor is the same one I had for the dreamweaver course. He’s quite a good and extremely patient instructor I can say. Been quite interesting so far, made my monday not so blue… Hopefully I can pick it up, then can create XiaoXiao number 2!

Ridiculous

I wonder why so many people is selling viagra nowadays, 99% of my spam comments are viagra sellers.
Oh no, I’m gonna have lots of hits now that people search for the word viagra. =X

Today is arrow shooting day. I gena 3 Big arrows man.. but good la, can build up my showreel also. Just a bit worried about one of the project, cos the producer is, er-hem, not around most of the time. Now scratching my head on putting my design into dreamweaver. I went to the course before, yes, to literally translate it from chinese,  I only learn the skin hair skill of dreamweaver. Creating tables is not even helpful in doing a CSS! My head getting bigger and bigger.. a lot of things have to trial and error, and I feel like I’m learning how to fly before walking… ><

I’m sick of listening to my mp3s cos a lot of old songs, so switched to listening to internet radio. But the frequency is so intermittent that you cannot even listen to a song properly. It’s so irritating man. But don’t know why I’m still tuned to it. Just now got a nice nice song by Yang Zong Wei which I like very very much and I thought I won’t be able to enjoy it cos of the intermittency. Surprisingly, there was no breaks in the song at all!! So amazing!! Am I on a lucky streak today?? Should I buy toto?? Tio liao then can quit and enjoy life already!! *Dreaming on……

Sites…

Recently I found out that If I sleep early, I will wake up feeling very very tired the next morning… So I tried sleeping later yesterday and I actually wasn’t so tired this morning! So amazing…

I’ve been assigned to design a website and I racked my brains for 2 days just over a simple banner… Then boss came over and ask about my progress and I showed him what I’d done. He then showed me a website he just designed for the campus and also gave me some links on research on other’s design, with lots of advice and encouragement of course. (I’m really lucky to have such a nice boss man) After the discussion, I threw my design away, it’s too amateur already, and after being enlightened, I felt like a frog that just came out from a well! So after that, it’s research and research, and I’d actually come out with another design already.. luckily.. So the verdict, after the few days of surfing net, I found a design that totally blown me off… *drum rolls….

ta da!!!!! Nice right??? I’m soooooo impressed…. sigh… Can never reach a level like that man..
When I finish designing the site i’m doing now, will post it up for you guys to laugh at. hah…

It’s a tired Sunday. One of those days where you feel so damn tired but you can’t get to sleep when you lie in bed. Maybe lie in bed for an hour but only manage to nap for 10minutes that kind. I have no patience to lie in bed for an hour, so may as well do some work, maybe do up my trip photos so that I can post them up. Gotta resize each and everyone of them cos they are too big to upload here and I can’t resize them here too. Oh well.. hope I can do some today…

Oh my sis book tickets for Andy Lau’s concert! Hands up whoever is going! I’m going for the 2nd night one… it’s a big sold out man.. The first time I went to his concert was in Genting, all cantonese so I catch no ball most of the time… don’t really have much memory of it anymore..

Hope I can catch a nice nice nap later.. yawns…

I must be getting old… Woke up especially early today cos it’s raining, and decided to go work early to avoid the jam. Only old people wake up early naturally without feeling tired right? Anyways… changed my monitor from 17″ to 22″! So shiok!

The problem now is to get the 4Gb ram to run on my vista.. now only reading up to 3Gb only.. headache….
