End of March 07

It's been a while. I've been meaning to update a post during the past days when i get online but at the same time i dont feel like posting anything. Well, stupid excuses aside, there also a bit a of a problem accesing my account in the cyber cafe i usually go to. Sigh~

So what to update.. since i've been MIA for weeks :P
For starter, i still unemployed. Dunno why i still picky with the jobs these days. Maybe a part of me hate those graphic designer kinda jobs. Mostly long working hours with little pay. Still, i not sure what else i can do for a living. Sigh~

I recently sent an artwork for a local comic magazine, Gempak. It was actually a character design competition in conjunction of the Spiderman 3 movie. So obviously i have to create my own version of Spiderman. The grand prize is Sony Erricson handphone (forgot the model type) while the 2nd place's prize a PSP. Not too keen 'bout the third though- a 3 months free gym workout *sweats*
I dun have the drawing with me now but i'll be sure to load it up here soon. Wish me luck :D

On another related topic , I plan to join a major comic drawing contest (also by Gempak) in the coming months. Still, i have trouble drawing anything... Always end up erasing watever on the paper. Guess i loosing my touch here *cries*

Till next time then.

Marching Into 300

So it almost half way into March already.. and i'm still unemployed. I really not sure what job i need to seek actually, kinda picky like one of my friend said earlier. Well, just say the market didnt offer anything i'm interested nowadays. And i not sure wat i can really do in the meantime. Sucks to be clueless and pennyless at the same time *sob*

Anyway it didnt stop me from watching 300 at the cinema yesterday evening. Me and my two brothers went to Midvalley Megamall to catch the newly opened movie. And god, it was so worth the RM11 ticket we spent each.


The movie is based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller whose his other work- Sin City, also made into a live action movie of a same name a couple years back. It tells how King Leonidas, king of the infamous Spartan lead 300 Spartan soldiers to held off an invasion of Greece by the Persian army of incalculable size. While the story itself was rather straight forward, the execution of the story was a nothing short of amazing. The action scenes, the highlight of this movie was totally breath-talking. Even though it's gory but at the same time rather poetic- almost like a graceful dance lol. U gotta see this movie to believe me. As for the girls, 300 perfectly sculpted half naked hunks is enough reason to watch this movie too *winks* What's amazing too was how the local censor treated this movie. Glad they not over-zealous, cutting-happy nowadays though i cant help to be cynical lol. If i'm not short of cash, i go for a second helping. Sigh~
