Update in Progress

It seems I'm now having a habit of updating irregularly- due to a number of obvious factors or otherwise. I guess this month will lack of a real post. *sign*

Anyway, I'll guarantee the next post or two will be a major one which is about my job at my current place and the impact made in my life after a full year working. Yeah, my 1st anniversary of working at Animasia was last month actually :P No celebration what so ever though.

Well, I hope ( like I always do) to make a regular update on this blog after that. So look forward for it ;)

Still AWOL

Sorry for the absent of posts in the recent months. Guess i'm kinda have my hands full (anime, psp, artworks, sleep) during these few months especially after the long hours at work >.<"

But i'll promise to get back to regular posting in a month or two, or even earlier. Thanks and sorry to those who regularly drop by only to see the long out-dated post.

Got Tagged

It been a while since I browse around people's blog and then found out that i been tagged by Sakura chan . Usually I dun even bother to reply to tags. But for the sake of fun and the tags seems rather interesting, so i give it a go.
Btw, there actually 4 tags but i left out the last 2 since both involved editing a picture and i dun feel like starting up my photoshop now. Maybe next time. Gome ne, Sakura chan ;)

1st tag
list (8) random facts about yourself :

1. I'm a shy, quiet guy which kinda boring to have around.. me think. But drop me among my siblings or close friends and i can be quite annoying and loud.
2. Plain blur like sotong. But sometimes, it's best to act blur.
3. Slow and steady. I like to take my time working at something- which might not a good thing on a job with a deadline. But my works almost always turn out above average.
4. Spent RM 2000 ++ on multi-level marketing products which turn out useless in the end. Sworn never to get myself into any of those again.
5. I'm fashion blind. My clothes are mostly hands-me-down from my relatives. And dun really interested in buying new clothes even on Chinese New Year. Plain simple and comfortable.
6. Three must-go-places when I'm in the shopping complex- general book store, scale model/ hobby shop and anime or manga related shop.
7. Usually watch movies alone in the cinema.
8. Can be really indecisive at times. But usually like to act at the spur of the moment.

2nd Tag
8 things I’m passionate about:

1. Jaw-dropping digital illustrations and trying reach that greatness myself.
2. Anime and manga. They are what which drives me on this road called life. Anything related to them, be it toys, music, magazines, events etc etc. It's good to be an otaku.
3. My current love- my 6 years old PC. Spent most of my free time in front of it. Extremely protective of its well being. Regreted of leaving it in the hand of my bro for almost a year while i'm in hometown. So sorry, dear.
4. Going online. Blogging, chatting, sharing stuffs, playing games, reading- almost everything i did i did them online. If only i can work online too.
5. Friends and family. I learned that to fully enjoy life, you must have them both. Appreciate them well.
6. Video games espesially RPGs. Real life can be extremly dull without them. Living through different lives at the price of one.
7. Sci-fi and fantasy movies. Nothing beats the feeling of watching fantastic creatures and epic stories on the big srceen.
8. Reading newspaper, book or mag while having breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's one of those moments that i like to be left alone till i finish either of them or both.

8 things i say often:

1. shoot !
2. erm..
3. ah/ hah?
4. yo~
5. honto ni?
6. wa sai~
7. i know...
8. kk

8 books or mag I’ve read recently:

1. 50 Robots To Draw & Paint
2. Venom vs Carnage paperback
3. The Animator's Survival Kit

5. GameAxis March 08 Vol 4 Issue 12

8 things to do before I die:

2. Publish a few graphic novels.
3. Travel around Japan.
4. Fall in love, get married, and live happily ever after.
5. Own a least 2 properties.
6. Create my own video games or at least have my own designed characters in them.
7. Six pack abs.
8. Have the resources to collect anime related figurines that fill up a big sized room.

8 songs I could listen to over and over again:

1. Houshi Boushi by Younha
2. Sorairo Days by Shoko Nakagawa
3. Sen no Yoru wo Koete by Aqua Timez
4. Chance To Shine by Akino
5. Every Little Thing by Grip!
6. Home Sweet Home by Yuki
7. Sakura Kiss by Chieco Kawabe
8. Say Nothing At All by Ronan Keating

8 things I learn in the last year:

1. Never let anyone decide for me that can alter my life. Make my own damn decision and stick to it.
2. Never get too rely on others- even close relatives.
3. A slacker's life sucks. No money, no purpose, no friends, no life.
4. Asks and be enlightened or choose to remain quiet and ignorant.
5. Of all the good things while living in Singapore, it can't beat the familiarity and comfort of my own country. And it's overated.
6. Divine counseling can be quite intimating and surreal experience. Especially facing with the priest acted as a medium for a an underworld deity. Then again, what he know about the 21st century mortal world.
7. There's a lot more budding artists with great talents locally than I have imagined. So better buck up.
8. "A digital illustrator using a mouse to paint is akin to a chef using a hammer to cook although they can get the job done in the end."- a member of Imaginary Friends studio. Meaning, get the best tool for the job.

So there is it. Apparently i have to tag another 8 people but i really dun like things that work like a chain letter. So if anyone of you wish to reply these tags, do let me know :D

Blogthings of The Month

You Are 40% Left Brained, 60% Right Brained

The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

Are You Right or Left Brained?

The True You

You want your girlfriend or boyfriend to be more relaxed, calm, and composed. With respect to money, you spend as little as possible. You think good luck doesn't exist - reality is built on practicalities. The hidden side of your personality tends to be methodical in your ways - with trouble adapting to the rules of society. You are tend to think about others' feelings a lot, perhaps because you are so eager to be liked. When it comes to finding a romantic partner, you don't have any particular type in mind, but you are inclined to look for someone who will say yes when you ask him / her out.

Who's The True You?

Your Love Style is Agape

You are a caring, kind, and selfless partner. Unsurprisingly, your love style is the most rare. You are willing to sacrfice your world for your sweetie. Except it doesn't really feel like sacrifice to you. For you, nothing feels better than giving to the one you love.

What's Your Love Style?

Fun Activities to Start the Year

Yo, it been days since i last update the blog. Kinda inconvenient to blog these days. Spent most of the time doing some thing else. As you can see, i have customized the whole layout design of my blog.. more like put on a new skin.. lol. Anyway, rather satisfied with the outcome :)

Okay, some recap of what i been doing the past days:
As you all know, i went back to hometown for a quick refresh of the year. I came back to PJ a few days later, bringing my youngest brother, Chee Keit for his first visit to Klang Valley in many years. So, basically we have a siblings bonding of sorts, lol.

Last Saturday, we (except my 2nd bro, he's working) went 1 Utama to catch a movie, Erogorn. It was an okay movie story-wise but the special effect alone worth the ticket price. Before that, we went for a little sight seeing around the shopping center. Well, sight seeing has an alternate meaning for my late teen little bro... lol. Almost missed the movie btw...

The following day, the four of us went Sungai Wang Plaza, KL for some shopping. Actually, my little bro was the one who have a shopping spree that day. Manage the spent almost RM 300 worth of clothing on that day alone *sweats* Well, he the vainest of the family, by the looks of his appearance. As for me, an otaku, i only spent RM 30 on a couple of collectible anime figurines (i'll will post some pics later) We cut short of our plan to walk around Times Square since my bro spent too much time shopping.

On Monday evening, we went to a weekly night market at SS2 nearby. Well, it been ages since i last walk through a nite market. Lots of people especially young adults like us, since there are a few colleges and university around. Had our dinner there too.

Alas, Chee Keit had to get back to Pontian on Tuesday morning especially he skipped school for the past few days (new school term started on the 3rd Jan.) lol.

So there. And not to mention i played Ragnarok Online during the guild war yesterday. Heh. Oh ya, looking forward this Saturday for a gathering of my online friends. Plans to watch a movie together. I'll will update on that then.

And if you have any comments on the design, pls do. I'll appreciated it :)

New Makeover

Strange, of all the days, the internet service choose this day to breakdown, when i finally have my old blogger account able to switched to the new one.... dem ironic.

Still, since the net today is kinda unstable, i'll post a short one even i have a lot of to blog especially concerning an friendship issue i encounter yesteday evening.... Anyway, i'll leave that for tomorrow... that is if the net is up and going.

Unfun Busy Holiday

Yeah, a holiday today- birthday of the Selangor Sultan. But then again, spent the whole day paying bills and canceling my telephone and streamyx line. Spent a lot of money too, transportation fees for going to and fro the nearest Telekom center which not very near at all (about RM 5.80 ride by taxi) *sob*

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 ~

Mini Post

Sigh~ kinda lot happened this past months and yet i updated nothing...... more like i dun feel like updating.. Still, i thanks to those who are concerned.

Anyway, i will try to update more this coming days. Hopefully.
