New Home New Begining
After spending the whole weekend organizing, packing, throwing, load up the lorry, reloading and unpack we able to finally move out of wanga maju into our new home (kinda old apartment) in sec 17, PJ. As life has it, things dun went as smoothly as planned especially concerning the old landlord (ex now)...
Anyway, yesterday was really busy... working our ass off from morning to evening. Things made worst, when after we finished moving our stuffs and practically moved out, the landlord asked (when phoned) to clear every single items, ours or not, out of his house. Since he got a leverage over us, we have no choice.And he cant even come to give us back our deposits even i informed him before we moved yesterday.. Fuming mad.
Without a choice, we just have to throw everything which we dun need. Mostly leftover books, clothes and stuffs from previous housemates which are still in mint condition. Not to mention a hill of old newspapers and books. And a still functional fridge.
In the end, we manage to get help from a couple of guys who manage a charity recycle event (lucky i noticed it earlier when we moved out) nearby. We cleared the newspapers and sorted out clothes and stuff to give to the charity. There, the house was cleared. Well, apart from the lone fridge in a corner which we have to leave it there.
So, we went back our new home, unpack and organize the place. The 1st thing i set up is my beloved PC.. lol. Till now, there still some boxes waiting to be unpack. And the floor need a good sweep and mop.
Later in the evening, i still have to rush to wangsa maju to meet up with the old landlord.... if he turn up this time. Sigh~

On The Move Out
Anyway, now taking a break from packing since morning.... browsing all my comic mags and stuffs.. deciding what to keep and which to feed the garbage. Feeling a little "sayang" at all those "Gempak" and "Star" local mags, PC Games and other misc mags which i keep since 2002.. lol. But then again, even i keep them, they just lying somewhere collecting dust and become bug food. And talk about paper, i have more than 1 year worth of old newspaper to throw later =.="
Yeah, yeah, they worth some money if i sell them to the old newspaper collector but i have to clear things out by tommorow when i move out.... or else the landlord wont be happy bout it.....
Wonder if he mind if i give them to him.......
Well, thats wat i get for always doing things in the last minute *sweats*
So as i said, i'll be moving out tomorrow morning by 10 am... if the lorry i rent makes it on time.
Anyway, i bid good bye for this area which i been living for 6 years, gonna miss this place *sobs* And for those friends who live nearby , thanks a lots for taking care of me all this years, directly or not :) Sorry if i didnt make any kind of farewell party or yumcha even though i wish there's one... Maybe next time :) Miss you all too...
Here's to the next chapter of my life.

What Card Are You?
You are The Hermit
Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.
The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.
The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.
The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Unfun Busy Holiday
Then again finally I got rid all the fees that been tying me down since. Hopefully with all the fees cleared, the landlord can give our deposits back as promised. And now to focus on the next problem- house moving. The question is how?
As of now, the current house is kinda in the mess right now. Tons to pack and even more to throw. I planned to pack some up today but kinda tired from the ordeal earlier today... Never thought I spent the whole day already =.=" Guess i have to pack a bit when i get home....
Now, i still got 1 bill to pay- the maintainence fee, but have to wait cos the paying station only open on 6pm *sweats*
And tomorrow i have to go back to work. Sigh~
p.s: owh, almost forgot... today is the 1st birthday of this blog :P Happy Birthday to orangeho.blogspot.com ~

Begining of an End
So in coming week, if all goes well, i will move from Setapak, KL to Section 17, PJ along with my bros. Well, kinda heavy-hearted to move away from the area where i have been living for about 6 years. Gonna miss some friends there, the cybercafes, the BRJ mamak restaurant, the Hartini malay stall..... well, pretty much everything there.
So i gonna be quite busy this and the coming weeks. Tie up all the loose ends, pack things up, throw things away, clean up the current house etc etc *sweats* As for the apartment which i'll be moving in, well, i will go have a look this Sat. LoL, yeah.. i havent see the house yet but my bro did and he said not bad actually.... Well, at least the rent is the cheapest of all we looked in that area and pretty much near my work place and Utar :)
Work-wise, i now in my 4th month and things pretty much settled in. Though there still some problems but then i dun really bother anymore. As long i do my job and there's cash coming in, i pretty much satisfied.
So the coming 2007, i believe, will gonna be a better year.

Crying (Care)Freeman
Anyway, all the years since i was a young teen, i always maintain an emotionless look... especially when bad things happen around me. Even during my father's death, my grandpa or even my fav grandma where everyone else cried openly... i was always without a single drop of tear. Even i myself tot my heart was harden without the feeling of sadness... or maybe it my care-free attitude. I can feel happy but not sadness. Maybe the happiness might been an act.
Still, a lot time. i really wish to cry out. The passing of my father, my broken relationship wif my ex, and especially during the recent year. Yet i cant. Not a drop. A robot like human.
And yesterday night, i just erupted.
I received my salary of the month and hopes to dine out. Yet i dun felt like eat alone. My bros got their own things to do. A few friendly phone calls, a few sms. No favorable result. Then i decide to eat some leftover bread at home. Alone.
Later all bros came back and we discussed about the house moving problem. It became heated when the third and i argued. Second bro tends to not get involve or things might get worse. Soon the third (currently taking a degree in psychology) said something which felt akin to what Steve Irvin got in his last moment... maybe even worst.
I shouted back in rage and retreated to my room. I was trying to calm down when mum phoned. And when talking to her, i suddenly just exploded in tears. I was cried and sobbed like a 3 year old. It was like all the accumulated pressure, disappointments and grief just burst open. Unable to speak properly, i handed the phone to my 2nd bro who standing there stunned ( he said much later that's the 1st time he saw me cried in his whole life)
Obviously, my mum was dead worried when she suddenly heard me like this.
Soon i was able to calm down and was dumb-founded that i cried just then.... Just so surreal. My bro and mum (second phone call) was relieved. Sorry for making u all so worried ;P
Later i made peace to my third bro. Hey, we brothers after all.....
So i cried. Real man cries, as the saying goes. Hey, I'm a human after all. After this episode, I hope things will get better.

Calm After The Storm
Well, in may last post, i mentioned i would do something drastic. Still, after calming down a bit and taking things into consideration... i decided to tackle things step by step wisely. I know watever i will do this last months will affect the next year. I dun wan the same things to repeat again.
Anyway, as for my work now.. well i having a difficulty with one of my workmates. Things start out great with us but we kinda have different options the seems to clash. And couples of misunderstanding.... well thats one of the reasons i been down those past few days. And there some rumours going around about me... what ever that is, i really dun give damn. I do wat I initially suppose to do and thats it.
On a lighter note, I wish to celebrate a friend's coming birthday.. still not sure if i able to since the friend might be away from town.. i see how things go 1st.
Well, until next post then.

Hiccup On The Job
Well, before I start bitching bout it, I do have a few nice thing to say bout tis company of mine. For starters, most (almost all I think) staffs here are overly friendly. They smile, they greet where ever I walked past by, they invite you to sit along at lunch – make me feel like Gordon in HL2, lol. Well I guess it is the culture of tis company. Even my two co-workers in my department is easy to get along wif. A big thanks for looking after this newbie for the past month. Heh. Speaking of culture here, staff are “encouraged” to take part in activities organized by the company. Hell, I done more exercise in the past month than the entire year of 2005… lol. The company do take extra effort in the recreation and activities for the staffs here. Still trying to get used to it. Still, I nvr been in a corporate company before. Just yesterday we celebrated Mooncake festival while breaking fast. I still think I working since I have video shoot the whole event. Hope it was an OT. *grin*
Ok, as for my problem.. well, it been more or less the same since i first work here. Yeap, tool problem and some mismanagement. Not to say my company sucks (well, it’s now a really successful one that is) but things just don’t go well in my department, for me at least. You see, I been given the responsibility to create a corporate video for the company. The thing is my department doesn’t have the machine decent enough to work with. OMG, you must be crazy to expect me to make an animation laden video with an office use laptop. Even Micheal Schumacher can’t win a F1 race if given only a Kancil or at best, a Toyota Celica. *sweats* Ok, 3 weeks ago… with much difficulty on the “budget” we finally brought a decent (hei, wat can u get with RM 1100 nowadays) PC to get started. Problem solved or so I thought.
After some days of animating work, the higher ups decided to use the PC for some confidential paperwork and printing. And since it’s confidential the PC is totally restricted. Now, the thing that is totally unbelievable, I have to use a laptop for the meantime. HELLO~ paperwork with power PC and animated video with office laptop… is there anything right about it? Even the superior from the graphic department who oversees my project shakes his head in disbelieve when he heard tis turn of event. Sigh~
And now I stuck here with nothing much I can do. I even have to content/busy/force myself with meager jobs like arranging table chair for an event or sending letters/invoices/etc to 1 department or another. That even if there anything to do… Well, at least I got to know the people around. Heh.
Another thing is the higher ups like to screw anyone who didn’t get things done, even it’s not entirely their fault. I beginning to feel the pressure since I’m on the corporate video and it been delayed for some time. Anyway, I pitied my immediate superior. He stuck between a rock and a hard place… Well, that’s wat u expect for working under someone else.
Anyway, by next week I’ll get the PC back and hope things dun get interrupted again.. It really taking a toll on my morale. Considered everything, it’s a good place to work in and hope I’ll be more productive. Gambate ne~

I Survived A Week
Anyway, I went to see a movie after work- Monster House. It a 3D animation from Dreamworks and produced by Steven Spielberg. It is about a trio of teens tryin to stop a possessed monster of an house from devouring trick-or-treating children during Halloween. It also deals with growing up, friendship, trust, girls and other cliche stuff bout teens. Basically a horror movie for the whole family. I found it rather enjoyable and storywise better than a certain car movie months ago.

Back On Track
Well, actually I now a bit worried bout something. Even it just 2 days on the job, i felt i was a bit underuse. I was hired as multimedia designer but I see no workstation being readied for me. Worst I haven't given any offer letter to be signed even it was heard readied days ago . My manager said the one responsible for the letter havent came back to work today.. Sigh~ all this bureaucracy red tape really slowing my pace, not to mention my productivity.
Anyway, I glad i work here. Everyone is friendly especially the department i worked under. Hope all goes well for me then :D
Wednesday, August 30, 2006
Finally
Anyway, I was really happy and too exited to go back to sleep (it still pretty early, for me that it) On a gloomy note, TMnet "harassed" me again to remind me of the RM350 i yet to pay... Sigh~ This is too much for one morning and it not even noon yet.
Well, i still a bit worried though, nervous i think. LOL Hope all goes well from this moment on. And btw, I canceled my interview for this noon. I dunwan to waste the transport fee. :P

In Dire Need of Work
Just few days back, i got visited from the former housemate demanding i pay up the deposit since almost years ago. Come on, its not entirely my problem. In my current situation i really cant even part with RM 10 let alone a few hundreds. And usually those who move out should find a new people to replace them. Why I the one who replaced ANOTHER should bear the responsiblity to find other people for them or repay their deposit? It just not fair. Sigh~ blame it to my some unwise decisions and a year back. And worse, they thought I been sleeping like a useless bum the whole time. Fuck. I did my best finding a job and what can I do if I'm not hired.
Anyway, i promised i pay up a hundred first in October. Just pray I got a job then.
Sigh~ at times I wondered where i went wrong. So down these days... So lonely. T.T

Optimistic and Hopeful
Speaking of the last interview on Monday, the atmosphere was more friendly and warm. I was interviewed as a graphic designer and i think made a good impression. Still if i get a job, i have another headache to attend to- the transport or maybe accomodation... Kepong is a way too far from where i live now. Better think of plan in case i got the job *sigh*
Another suprising development on my job searching was on the job which i quited waiting for. Guess what, the boss gave a call another day and asked to email a redesigned namecard of hers to jugde whether i got what it takes. Heck, she should have asked for it a month ago.. *sweats* Anyway, i did what she asked and hope for a good news.
Now, all I have to do is pray and be optimistic. My luck may just change for good.

Moving On
Anyway, for those who followed my blog (whom i think i can count on 1 hand) was to think i started to work since last week. Well, I have to admit i being naive on thinking that i'be employed by the boss after waiting for over a month or so... >.<"
Hey, the boss did said she will hire me... or so i thought. And today, after last week which she promise to call which she didnt.. i thought wat the heck, i'm tired of waiting for nothing and start to move on to find a new job.
A friend (thanks, u know who u r)of mine said i have two weakness, lack of confidence and like to wait for things to happen which i think is true esspecially the later >.<" Well, i hope this time i'll will make things happen. And make sure by the end of this month i'll get myself a job, once and for all.

Blog Thingy Again
What Your Soul Really Looks Like |
You are quite expressive and thoughtful. You see the world in a way that others are blind to. You are a very grounded, responsible, and realistic person. People may not want to hear the truth from you, but they're going to get it. You see yourself with pretty objective eyes. How you view yourself is almost exactly how other people view you. Your near future is likely to be filled with great successes and accomplishments. You just need to figure out how to get there. For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust. |
You Should Be a Painter |
You have the vision, patience, and skill to bring your unique visions to canvas. And you're even tempered enough not to cut your ear off in the process! |
Life Currently
Anyway, nowdays I spent my time playing Neverwinter Nights, trying to finish the whole game plus the expansions. Enjoy them very much... much better than those online game nowadays. Besides games, I also try to brush up my art skills- digital illustration and character designs, hoping to make my current portfolio more solid *grin* Expect to see them here soon.
And with all the hoo-haa with the recent rob and kill in Setapak, I and the rest of the community can finally rest in peace now that the culprits are caught (well, apparently...)Read it here. Still, I hope the policemen and co will not let up the security around here...

Welcome To Wherever You Are
If you been looking at my Friendster profile or been listening to the radio or a fan of Bon Jovi, you probably heard tis song before. Yeap.. tis song, Welcome To Wherever You Are is from his new album, Have A Nice Day.
Well, actually when i first heard or listen to it during my working days on my previous job, i was kinda moved by the song. Maybe because it was what i like to heard during tis period of my life.. Well, the song do have some encouraging words which kinda fit into me.
Maybe we're all different
But we're still the same
We all got the blood of Eden running to our veins
I know sometimes it's hard for you to see
You caught between just who you are and who you want to be
If you feel alone and lost and need a friend
Remember every new beginning is some beginning's end
Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
That right here right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Welcome to wherever you are
When everybody's in and you're left out
And you feel drowning in a shadow of the dawn
Everyone's a miracle in their own way
Just listen to yourself not what other people say
When it seems you're lost alone and feeling down
Remember everybody's different, just take a look around
Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
That right here right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Be who you want to be, be who you are
Everyone's a hero, everyone's a star
When you want to give up and your heart's about to break
Remember that you're perfect, God's make no mistakes
Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
That right here right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far (I say welcome)
Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far (welcome)
When listening to the song, I dun feel bad about myself anymore. Thinking back, i always been an optimistic kinda guy.... only some recent events begun to leave doubts on myself and my life. And these days i begen to wonder whether it is a mistake to quit my previous job... :(
Anyway, the choice is made. It's better to look forward than to dwell in the past. If only i have more encouragement.......

Another Venture Into The Unknown
After some research into the place the day before, I started at Kelana Jaya station which i tot it was the nearest to my destination, the newly developed town Damansara Perdana. Thinking the place was a fair distance away from One Utama, i naively went there via the feeder bus. Upon arriving the shopping complex, I kinda stumbled onto some copies of the new 2006 edition of Klang Valley map book. Shit. I was dead wrong * panicky* The town is totally on another side of place.. pratically impossible to walk to unless u got wings to fly across some busy highways.
As time ran out for my interview time.. i guessed i need to catch a taxi again this time... >.<" 5 minutes and RM4 later, I finally arrived in this totaly still in development town... i can see some contructions projects going on around. Still the place is developed enough with shops, offices and eateries opened up and running for some time...
After some minor confusion (trouble finding the road *sweats*) I finally found my place of interview.. Yeah.
Well, the interview was kinda ok and abit less tense than the previous one. The interviewer ( so sorry, not good at remembering names) who oso one of the owner of this premise, was kinda friendly and open. Anyway, I rather suprised... this animation house, Beam Animation (well, i was interviewed for an animator post) is in progress on an 3D animation series stated to release locally and in China some time soon. From what i seen, this animation is better than what i expected locally produced. Unfortunally i not sure i can give the details here.. *winks*
Sure enough I was exicted at the prospect of working with them. But there a problem or 2... transport (from wat i know, tis place was unaccessible by any public transport other than taxi)and they use Maya ( I only learned Lightwave). Well, the former is the bigger problem as i can learn new things.... Well, only if they decide to employ me.
Anyway, after the interview, it started to rain, totally forbid my checking around the place.. sigh~ Only after some time, i manage to get myself a taxi back to One Utama again to hang around on tis rainly day.
Ah.. another day passed by again unemployed.

Into The Unknown Territory
Just like the interview at Gempakstarz a week back (huh, still no answer *sigh*) this one was also a little brief. Spent around half hour or so at De Touche (an post production company) where just like last time, spending most of the time filling up employee application forms. Anyway the interview took me to somewhere unfamiliar in PJ, that is Damansara KIM or SS20 there.
I took the LRT to Taman Bahagia station, since it is the nearest. Once there, I try to find out whether it is along the feeder bus' route. Alas, not at all. The nearest is across the DPH in Damansara Utama *sweats* Well, no choice then. Gonna took a cab first... Ah, my pocket burned.. The interview was ok but i was kinda nervous and all. Maybe it was the atmosphere- the interior is kinda sleek and modern, make me feel kinda tense. Sigh, i need to get out more....
After the interview, I went search around the place for a bus route to LRT. I went across the DPH (thanks the town management for the overbridge) towards Damansara Utama.. Hmm, not as far as I think it would be. Well, once there, i having trouble finding the right bus stop which the feeder buses will stop(street wise, i'm a total noob). I did a lot of pointness waiting, walking around, taxi waving (which, hilariously, one of them not sure where the station is since he just on the road for two days only *sweats*) and aimlessly checking out the place. Hours later and after totally walk around SS21 , I had it and just took a taxi.
Before boarding, i took note of the feeder bus' route, just in case i going back for an second interview. Anyway, I think a have a good rest before dinner and do hope i can get a decent job by mid June.
To the interviewer (Ms Jennie was it?) who mentioned she did read my blog, if you see this again, thanks for the interview and hope we got a chance to work together.

Financial Sackles
Anyway, this past half a year, financially, the worst of the 24 years of my life. Jobless for a few months, with bills and such kept piling up and even hardly can pay the house rental all those months. I even had have to borrow money from my working brother to pay the bills of my half and for my everyday use ( food and such) .
Even worst I feel like I been working to pay off those piled up bills and my bro's money. Well, all those due to some unwise decisions i made the since the end of last year. Now end up owning a lot of people's money *cry* Streamyx bill, rental, electric and water bill, ex housemate deposit.... i going crazy here @.@
Oh what the heck, better go solve it or die trying.

A Typical Day in May
I prepared myself, have a quick bite and hit the road by 9 am, heading to a supermarket at the other side of the area. And 1/2 hour later... i opened up the Speedy store's shutters and get everything ready for the day... Aih, my other co-worker was late again.. hoped he arrive soon. Sigh, need to do daily clean wiping the videos again..
1.30 pm. Wait almost forever for the time. Almost bored to death... not much to do anyway. Just stand and watch the customers which were hardly any at the time. As soon as my 2nd co-worker arrived, i off to lunch. Finally. Better quickly buy something to read while eat.. i only got 40 minutes.
Try to help around when new stocks arrived, putting in security sensors, repacked and such.. better than nothing to do. Sigh, not much help i can do, my co-workers can get the job done much faster. My supervisor rather have me to watch for customers so nothing get stolen. Damn, felt sleepy already...
Another break on 5pm and there i went for a quick bite while read in the nearby food court. By then the number of customers have increased. Uh, a bunch of kids just came in.. better watch them carefully- they can be rather quick in the hand. Some even worst, bringing ice creams and let them drips on the VCDs.. Argh, gonna clean those later.
Night time. I make myself useful managing the counter. Everything is computerized- scan it, type in the cash recieved, and gave back the balance accordingly. Kaching! Uh.. another credit card payment for a little stuffs there... Buy more la uncle.. heh.
Yeah, 10.15 pm.. better get ready to close the shop. Did a quick DVDs stock counting, putting away those ad-board cut outs and setting out the shutter doors steel beams. 15 minutes later, everything closed and shut. Time to head home. But before that, have a late dinner at a nearby mamak.. Sigh, no friends to accompany me tonight.
Have a bath, read a bit and depend on the shift tomorrow, watch a movie. Ah, good. Noon time tomorrow- digital draw a bit in the pc, heh. Need to brush up my skills there.
2.24 am. Set the alarm and turned off the lights. And hoped to continue the previous dream :D

What Age Do I Act?
You Are 22 Years Old |
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. |

Well, might as well go back sooner... need to see my ailing grandpa and also he want to see me...

Hectic Day Off
Ya, it's a different line of work but wat to do.. i need money and they need a worker so thats alrite wif me. Besides it a stress-free work with minimum fuss *grin* but u need to get use to standing up for long hours >.<"
Anyway, today i spent my day on a wild goose chase- searching for a particular bank to open a new account with, since my salary is bank in straight by the company. Tis RHB bank really quite rare in my surrounded area... the first one i went had its system down after waiting forever for a bus to reach there.. Luckily they told me there another branch nearby but still i need ride two buses back to back to reach there. As they mentioned it is around Giant hypermaket there, so i search the area around it. Felt dumb- founded when i was told it is inside Giant after i asked 1 merchant there.. *slap forehead* Well, i got it made but i still have to go back there tomorrow to get the account booklet.. sigh~ There goes my day off tomorrow...
Anyway.. i hope tis job can last till the day i wan to really resign... for a better job of course. XD

Elfen Lied
Ok, another anime review. Since this anime is only 13 episodes plus an OVA, i able to finished it in almost 1 night and an afternoon. Yeah, I'm pretty free u can say that, lolz.
Anyway, Elfen Lied is based on a manga by Lynn Okamoto and was produced by VAP in 2004. The story centers on Lucy, one of the human mutants (aka homo superior lolz) called "diclonius" which have horns on their heads ( look more like cat ears than horns) All diclonii (plural) possess Vector, invisible arms that can stretch and slice human bodies like tofu and throw things at lethal speed that are lying within their "arms" length which are vary between diclonii.
Back to the story- Lucy, in her escape from the facility that locked her up, got hit in her head and fell into the sea. She then drift into care of two normal teenager, Kouta and Yuka. But Lucy's mind has reduced to the state of an infant and was named Nyuu due to the only sound she able to make then. And her captives begin to search for her due to her dangerous abilities.
Ok, before you watch tis anime, let me warn u a bit- it filled to the brim with graphic violence especially in the starting escaping scene where Lucy is killing soldiers left and right O.0 Also there are a lot of nudity ;) But the core of the story deals with the inhuman of so-called humans, acceptance, love and forgiveness with a lot of social and psychology issues thrown in. All in all, it's 1 of the best anime i seen.
And do take notice in the opening and ending sequences, they r based on the famous painting of Gustav Klimt, a great fine artist. Nice.

Updates and Review
Woah~ it been some time since my last update. Anyway i been "busy" doing some stuff... lazed around, playing and sometimes find a job.... Yeah, still cant find any work yet and my cash is almost depelted T.T
I even went to KLCC a couple of days ago to have some walk in interview as a promoter and now still waiting whether i got the job or not .. lolz
Anyway, i bring myself to do some artwork since i had nothing better to do. It's a good start anyway and at least it can be a part my portfolio *grin*
Well, it a digital portrait of myself (manganized) with a came-to-life-monster as a backdrop. Hand-drawn and coloured with Adobe Photoshop. It's not by Marvel standard but i quite satisfied with it. Still, i got a lot to improve :p Hope i can come up with another art soon.
Anyway, I able to finish the 25-episodes anime series, Berserk by yesterday after sometime. This 1997 anime by Oriental Light and Magic is based on a manga series of the same title by Kentaro Miura. It tells the story of Guts, who was forced to join a mercenary army, Band of Hawks who lead by a incredibly ambitious and charismatic Griffin. They eventually become good friends and thus lead the Band of Hawk to become a great army in the kingdom. But in mist of the action, a great godly evil makes its presence which in turn changes everthing.
Too bad the series ended with a cliffhanger with no sequel in sight by the studio. Luckily the series only cover half of the manga which i will search later on *grin* A recommented watch to action fans ;)

Locked and Unloaded
I accidentally( totally cant remember pushing the locking button) locked myself out of my room while i wash my face tis morning with everything inside -keys, wallet, handphone. I cant even go out to ask for help- maindoor locked too :p
Try ramming the door ( not enuf body mass), picking lock ( just try :p), card sliding ( no cards to slide - plastic folder) but to avail... Luckily there a house phone in the living room (which i nvr used before). So i called up my bro who in turn give me a few contacts who live nearby ( i cant remember any number:p) Thanks god, a friend was free to help. She went and called a locksmith up.
Unfortunately he had to break the main door lock to get it (wasted) since that type cant be picked... Anyway the room door is unlock and I can finally get my day going... tis ordeal wastes a few hours today >.<" And also i need to part wif my RM50 for the locksmith's service T.T
Anyway, a few lesson have learned- hide an extra key, dun be too careless and have some contacts number nearby in case of an emengercy.
And a big big thanks for my friends who got involved into tis especially RX. Hontoni arigato~
*edited*
since wimal requested a pic, this is wat i found the most similar type with mine

Stuck Between Two Heavens
I just got pulled into another multi level marketing firm this afternoon just after I attended a motivating course by Amway.
At first i thought is another Amway or other lesser firm member looking for another downline. Then what I have to face is one heck of a competitor... After hearing a brief product intro and its marketing plan, I was totally dumbfound.. Thats one smack in the face in Amway in term of marketing and money making speed... Ironically just when i began to be interested in Amway.
Now i was given a choice of a lifetime... make it big in Amway where trusted friends are or make it bigger in more easier venture? I can only choose one or never.
Now even thinking of it make my head hurt.... Help~

Anime Marathon No.1: Witch Hunter Robin
Just finished the whole 26- episode flick lolz.
The premise goes like this:
Witches are individuals with special powers like ESP, telekinesis, mind control, etc. Robin, a craft user, arrives from Italy to Japan to work for an organization named STN Japan Division (STN-J) as a replacement for one of STN-J's witch hunters who was recently killed. Unlike other divisions of STN, STN-J tries to capture the witches alive in order to learn why and how they became witches in the first place.
What interesting bout tis anime is things is not wat it seems to be... the story seems a bit like X-Men-ish along the way :p
Anyway a good and interesting anime nonetheless.
Now I got another anime marathon to run :P

Wings Of Rean
Wings of Rean is actually a spinoff from an 1980s anime series, Aura Battler Dunbine which is a brainchild from the same person who wrote and directed the original Mobile Suit Gundam series, Yoshiyuki Tomino. He is also the director of this new series :D
And well, even the animation looks and feels old-school but the action and the "alien"battle ships designs will make up for it. Oh, obviously it gonna be a mecha action anime series :D
The story setting is basically the same as original ones where a boy from tis world got involve into another world's matter. Well, i not sure how far tis will stray from the old series but I expect good things from it as it looks promising :D
Yawn~ now i really need to sleep :p

Blast From The Past
As i had suspected, the one who are running the Amway center which i'm been going is indeed a close associate of my late father. I had a rather vogue memory wif them ages ago :p
Well, I thought the uncle that were sitting in the sofa looks familiar when i first came up the center a week ago. And just yesterday i confirmed my suspection by asking a question that only few knows. Well, the son of his (he knew my father well and who i asked) was rather surprised and really excited to found tis out. Well, both of our families had been out of contact for about 7 years or so.
Me? I found myself dumbstrucked when i learn the truth. Funny how he noted the my standings with him and b4 he knew was vastly different.... Emm, kinda know wat he meant :p
Previously i was really firm on my thinking... now i really dont know... Lets see how the next card will be played....

Return Of The Jerk

WOW
Lo and behold, my 1st WOW character, the Undead Warlock, Anarkin.... Well, i always seems to be interested in the undead.. dun ask me why :P
Spent a few moments in the game trying to figure out how tid games works. I find the controls are pretty awkward to use.. for me at least. WASD to move, left click to target and right click to interact.. well, not to say not good but i rather have my left hand free to press hot-keyed skill when i'm in action. Maybe i still need some time getting use to it... Well, cant say too much since i didnt spent much time on it. But if u got a high spec pc, i can say u will got a better visual than me. Well, as for the server, it strangely unpopulated (only 20+ people online currently) But at least it's not laggy and it close to home (in the Pilippine). To friends out there, join me at tis server. See u soon, heh.
Whew~
Spending almost 12 hours listen some "sucessful" people bragging about their achievement while i try to look as interested as humanly possible. Not to say they are wrong but everyone is entitled to his or her own point of view - I still firm on mine.
Anyway.. like i mention before, been there done that. I really dun wan to say much here...
Just installed World of Warcraft. Probably will spent some time on this :p Hope i dun get addicted, heh. Wish me luck.

FMA-The Movie:Conqueror of Shambala
Finally, a true ending to the series that took the anime world by storm- FullMetal Alchemist. I had downloaded it from Anime Source yesterday and just finish watching it with my bro.
Anyway, the story picks off a few years from where we left at the end of the series. Edward seems begining to adjust himself in the "real" world where else Al is all grown up in the alchemist world and still seeking a way bring back Edward..... But back in the "real" world, some organisation is planning a sinister event that will turn both worlds into chaos...
Well, it's a nice movie overall, and somewhat an excellent conclusion to the series. To fans or those who watch the series, this movie is a must. And to those newbie, i suggest u to watch the series first :D
The Fishes
I recently brought a graphic novel which i been trying to find around KL ever since i missed buying it last time. The book is entitled "The Fishes" by local comic artist Ben from a local comic mag :D
The story revolves around 4 main individuals which brought together by the zodiac sign "Pisces" which coincidentally three of them was born under.
As u can tell, it basically a mushy love story but for me the story is quite meaningful and well written :)
As for the artwork, lets just say Ben have the uncanny knack for drawing really 'kawaii' girls :p But overall very manga like :D
For those who into a meaning love story, nice kawaii art or just want to support the local comic industry, i highly recommend this novel. It a full-colored, almost 140 pages of loving goodness with a price tag of RM 7.50. I suggest u buy it via http://www.gempakstarz.com/home/index.php or to KLCC's Kinokuniya since the graphic novel is pretty much out of stock everywhere else :p
Enjoy~
Makeover
Spending the whole day tweaking and changing and making designs with a blog template generator. It's not bad.. just need some time on the learning curve- me know next to nothing on HTML and shit :p
Here, try it at http://psyc.horm.org/
Anyway i'm kinda satisfy wif it at the moment. Heh~
Why the name Orange Ho? Well, my Mandarin name kinda sound like it and it's kinda special :D
Yawn~ now 4.15 am =.=" might as well get to bed... but not b4 i update my Friendster too :p

Art Attack
Now gonna post some artworks here.. finally. These below are some of my earliest work.. way back my secondary days, haha :p
Ok, it pretty childish now but then these are my finest work back then. spent lot of time on the details. Kinda got violence mind i admit :p
Anyway, these are cute characters engaging in some good versus evil war. No prize for guessing which is good or evil.
Then a couple of years later, i created a new set of characters and let my imagination go wild haha~ As u can see, i put a lot of effort on this one. Poster coloring with more details.. hardly with any more space. Notice the violence level increased :p Dark mind i was, hmm?
You may ask, where i get my inspiriation from? Games? Haha, i not sure but back then i didnt expose to any pc games yet but i think it was anime (Dragon Ball Z, anyone?) which influenced me :) Anyway, how i wish these to be made into a RTS now using Relic's Dawn of War engine. Whouldnt it be cool :D
Well, till next time. In the meantime, drool :p
Jack back in.
Hopefuly I can pay when the fee is due next time.. given my current jobless state>.<"
Anyway, went out the whole day today - just had a bath as i hit home just now. Spent the whole afternoon loitering at KLCC today, looking around and stuff like that. Having discount everywhere.. too bad I was pretty much burned a hole in my pocket after settled all the bills previously >.<"
Well, obviously that didnt detered me from watching King Kong - nice epic movie from Peter Jackson. Great effect and all -obviously, from the maker of the Lord Of the Ring trilogy. Too bad some scenes stretched a bit too long for my liking. Nonetheless, highly recommendable :D
Went to a couple of Amway meeting these 2 days.... chouldnt say no, since they all sincerely want me to attend. Sigh~ been there done that... Still not into it...... yet. Sorry guys :p
Oh, since I back online, i hope to put on my artwork asap hence the one of the reasons of tis blog :D

A new year,a new lease of life
Just came back today from 2 day 1 nite fun-filled beach outing. Well, it is actually a yearly Family Day outing organized by Amway ( a famous product marketing org.) members for members. I happened to get invited on the day i lost my work last year :P
Well, i tot wat the heck.. since it it is the new year, i just tot to have a change of enviroment, to get a breath of fresh air... to forget things for a while.. and to start anew.
And i got more than i bargain for..... got thrown wif an egg in a face during a fun game ( hard time taking the stain off my shirt), sack running ( killing my abdomen) , race for a place holding hands wif a girl( got rammed by an opposition girl :P), playing last man standing wif balloon ( wich i lost) and get to eat potato chips placed on my forehead without hands ( got nicknamed potato chip man, lol) and of cos, BBQing during heavy rain lolz.
Actually, i never tot i ever involved in tis kind of games- i was rather passive to begin wif. Then i made myself a point to get more involve actively in these kind of activities... there more to social life than MMO games, u know.
And special thanks to my good friend Siew Fong (hope i spell ur name rite :P) for inviting me, encouraging me and helping me the whole time. I really touched :) I hope u soon will be wif ur happiness, u know who i mean lolz. Best of luck ;) And a big thanks to her friends too. Hope we have fun like tis again. Arigato~
Boy... now i aching all over =.=" lolz
