tentang GPRS dan 3G

intenet kalau kat m'sia tu aku rase biasenye orang akan amik unlimited bandwidth je la kan. bukan mahal sgt. tapi kat tempat aku ni.. unlimited tu macam mewah sikit la. mase mule2 dulu memang aku sangat culture shock la bile internet yg aku gune tu ada limit. 5 gig je. takleh nak download2 sebarangan.. takut2 nak layan youtube hari2 pagi sampai malam.

so walaupun internet kat sini lebih lancar n laju (aku rase la) tanpa lag spike yg bleh membunuh kerekter mmorpg kite.. tapi bayangkan internet yg laju tu ade LIMIT. not nice.

tapi....... kat tempat aku ni luar metro area. maknenye takde 3G kat kampung ini. maknenye mobile internet yg aku gune tu beroperasi gune signal GPRS je. maknenye... serupa dialup je la. nangis je la mase mule2 dulu. sampai la sekarang ni dah biase dengan menunggu satu website biasa2 (blog2 dan email) untuk load selama 10 minit.

tibe2 pagi tadi lampu kat bendalah mobile broadband itu yg biasenye kaler ijau bertukar kaler biru. (maaf foto buruk) oh.. aneh. pikir ku. biru tu biasenye kalau aku bawak laptop ni gi bandar. pegi area yg ade 3G. pastu aku cek download speed.. walaupun signal strength satu bar je tapi dload speed 1.3mbps berbanding biasenye around 20kbps. bulat mate aku.

setakat ni satu hari aku on off intenet tapi masih ade 3G signal nye. oh vodafone aku harap korang memang dah pacak satu pemancar 3G baru dekat2 area ni. jangan tarik balik 3G kat roseworthy pls >_<

tentang wikipedia addiction dan anti-earth hour

probably ramai yg ade addiction ni. kalau curious.. and tak tau benda2 yg kite dengar n segan nak tanye orang ape bende tu.or simply taknak nyusahkan orang utk explain benda2 yg mungkin kompleks tu.. search kat google tu ok.. tapi nak result yg mungkin lebih detail search kat wiki. then bile dah start baca tu biasenye terjumpe perkara yg lebih interesting.. lompat plak kat topik lain.. dan seterusnye. last2 baru sedar u spent hours membaca banyak topik and u cant seem to remember anything that u read. yeah

tapi awas.. not everything on the internet is true.

so harini aku terbaca satu blog pasal anti-earth hour dan connection nye ngan freemasonry through al gore ble bla bla. okay.. everyone is entitled to their opinions.

kite semua kan suke conspiracy theories :D.

curious as always aku baca la lebih detail lagi pasal freemasonry kat (where else) wikipedia. banyak benda menarik tapi the thing that really interest me is this sentance :

Many countries with a significant Muslim population do not allow Masonic establishments within their jurisdictions. However, countries such as Turkey, Morocco and Egypt have established Grand Lodges, while in countries such as Malaysia and Lebanon there are District Grand Lodges operating under a warrant from an established Grand Lodge.

really..? aku ikut la link2 sekalian and found addresses and bunch of names. nak cari tak susah. tapi thats as far as i go. aku sekadar tertarik dengan cerita2 berkait conspiracy theories.. and let them remain as cerita.


note: aku rase, ni bleh dijadikkan basis cerite yg menarik bukan? anyone reading feel free lah untuk curik idea ni.

tentang Profile pictures

pagi ni aku membelek2 lah seme gambar jalan2 aritu. hajatnye nak cari gambar baru la utk letak kat fesbuk n frenster. tapi seperti biase seme gambar aku rase tak brape sesuai. bukan nak letak standard yg terlalu tinggi.. tapi i am a plain simple un-photogenic kinda guy

aku cari la gambar yg tak terlalu embaressing.. n tak terlalu pelik. serves me right suke sgt buat muke pelik2 bile bergambar.. n being the one holding the camera memang gambar diri sendiri tak terlalu banyak la. sekarang ni dah ade calon2 yg sesuai tapi takleh decide nak letak yg mane

i really need to think less. my tendancy to overthink simple stuff is ruining my life~!

trailer - Where the Wild Things Are

"inside all of us is a wild thing"

well i think this movie does look fun. biar la apa those people yg tak suke movies yg daripada famous books say. nak tengok >_<

tentang weekend kat Melbourne

melbourne is.. gile best. tak reti nak describe lebih2. dia tak macam sydney.. terlalu crowded.. bangunan2 terlebih tinggi terlebih rapat. melbourne ni lebih kurang crowded tapi bangunan2 dia ade distance sikit.. or at least bangunan mencakar langit dia tak too close together lah.. tapi tram system dia sungguh serabut sekali, compared to adelaide that is. nasib baik kitorang ade local guide.. so we didnt need to understand how anything works.. just ikut je diorang ^_^. thanks fadiha n alia (pic #7)

day 1 starts at around 4.30am. keluar rumah around 5.30am.. about sejam stengah drive pegi airport sebab flight kol 8.10am. nk tiket murah.. memang dapat tiket pepagi bute la. sampai melbourne.. jumpa fadiha n alia.. terus shopping kat DFO. spent $10 untuk 2 tshirt kat just jeans. cheap! around noon check-in kat hotel rest2 kejap pastu keluar pegi st.kilda jalan2 tepi pantai n menjejakkan kaki ke melbourne luna park (tak main ape2 setakat amik gambar je :P). pegi dinner at this street i cant remember the name tapi reminds me a lot of bangsar. had nasik ayam and nadia makan mee bandung.. macam kat m'sia je.

day 2.. pepagi bute dah pegi queen victoria market nk beli (borong) souvenirs. i ended up abiskan $80 for 4 more tshirts :D. nyesal gak kejap sebab beli banyak sangat tee tapi design dia terlalu cool utk tak beli. lepas borong coasters, fridge magnets, pens, more tshirts.. balik hotel sebab in dah janji nk pegi jalan2 lagi tghari tu. noon pegi lunch kat this indonesian restaurant n aku makan ikan keli bakar. nadia makan ayam balado. lepas pegi thai festival kat federation square.. kitorang naik tram free pusing melbourne cbd turun kat dockyards kejap. then pegi parliament building and lepak kejap kat rumah fadiha (23rd floor tu kat tengah2 CBD. takyah naik skydeck :P). dinner kat kedai lazzat (same place the nite before) n makan nasik biryani lak.

the next day early start lagi sekali utk balik adelaide. by now kitorang penat, kaki sakit jalan naik turun bukit city melbourne ni, tangan lenguh angkat barang shopping, duit dah berkurang.. kol 3 pagi dah bangun nak naik cab pegi airport. tiket pagi bute sama cam aritu :P. kesimpulannye, trip ni memang best. tak cukup rest takpe.. janji jalan2 banyak tempat

more pics kat fesbuk ^_^

sebuah quick update

weekend in melbourne wohoo!!! ^_^

sekian

DWIV - design War Machine

yeah... complete sketch war machine yg sampai sekarang pun takde nama lagi. masih blom finalize tapi aku rase aku suke design ni.



takde ekor sebab im not a fan of the ekor idea in the first place. untuk selesaikan masalah balance/tumbang ke depan tu.. aku panjangkan badan sikit n besarkan tangan biar sampai cecah ground. sekarang ni dia cam merangkak la jugak.. tapi kalau tak gune tangan pun bleh jalan gak.

komen pls.. kot2 aku termiss ape2.

tentang keseimbangan dan pusat graviti

ok banyak feedback kate war machine aku ni nampak cam senang tubang ke depan. hmm dah alter2 tapi still ade yg kate tak cukup. susah nih. so aku buat la study sikit2 pasal form t-rex ngan gamba robot macross yg aku jumpe. n aku buat sektches sikit lagi nk tengok yg mane nampak lebih stable.


kalau cam menatang macross tu dia macam nak tumbang ke depan gak. tapi tu dia buat model tak tumbang pun. so bleh kot kalau tak tambah ekor. tapi tengok kaki dia memang kangkang la. trex lak.. balance sebab ade ekor. kalau ekor kurus pun kaki dia gedabak. so cam advice mahata.. kaki kene besar.


aku rase chicken walker cam war machine aku ni memang biasenye nampak tak stable kot

kalau center of gravity lagi rendah.. so dia lagi stable la kan? so daripada study yg aku buat ni.. aku rase (rase?) conclusion dia ialah lebih baik aku tambah ekor.



maybe sebab sketches aku ni perspective dia bengong sikit kot. so aku rase design ni aku nak tambah detail. pastu bleh start model. bile dah model kang bleh main2 ngan proportion dia. wayyy easier. ^_^

DWIV - design awalan War Machine

design war machine tu ramai yg cakap mungkin kurang balance. so ade 2 option utk improve design -

i) alter proportion dia.
a) panjangkan badan ngan leher, rendahkan lagi position badan
b) besarkan kaki, panjangkan lagi thigh

ii) tambah limb utk counterbalance
a) some sort of pemberat ie. cam gunbarrel kat bontot atau end of cannon tu
b) tambah ekor.

aku rase aku nak tambah ekor. simple solution.. silhouette jadik lebih menarik.. robot ade ekor maybe bleh jadik satu elemen yg cool. nampak cam t-rex pun ade

tapi solution ni membuatkan dia jadik lebih tersangat lebih organik. nanti detailing stage nak kene buang banyak besi lah. biar nampak dia ni mechanical instead of some resakse yg pakai armour.

photobucket tgh mentenen so aku post WIP paintover yg aku sempat uplod lah


kaki baru + rough ekor

side view bawah ni kaki baru tapi blom tambah eko. demit photobucket.. cepat le sikit buat mentenen tu >_<

DWIV - design awalan 2

feedback daripada orang2 kat 3dtotal kata design aku ni lagi sesuai kalau buat jadik scout instead of war machine.

so aku sketch la dua2 design. kot2 bleh tolong aku decide n tunggu feedback lagi dr forum tu. hasilnye :-

belah kiri tu scout (saiz manusia) n belah kanan tu war machine (saiz rumah)

ok rujuk plak description scout n war machine kat dominancewar.com

War Machine
These machine types are ALWAYS larger then 20x20x20 feet minimum. They are the assault units that make up the machine army. They are pure machines with no natural living parts (flesh) and only War Machines can be 100% vehicle, a mix between vehicle and robot, or a full robot.

Scout
Scouts are advanced intelligence gatherers for Machine kind. They are small and are either fully mechanical, or animal hybrids comprised of animal and machine. Scouts are extremely mobile, fast, and possess light weaponry and armor.

aku rase takle jadik scout kot. meriam atas belakang dia tu tak pass la as light weapon kot. terase hampeh.. baru je start minat idea scout tu

DWIV - design awalan

harini keje aku sketching. buat character design untuk dominance war.
ok ni type character yg aku nk design n model :-

race - Machines
class - War Machine
description - walking siege canon type robot. hunchback machine with massive wave motion gun mounted on his back.

sketch awalan -


aku tak entirely happy lagi dengan design ni. nak kene study transformers ngan terminator sikit lah. nk tambah cam kerawang2 pada armour.. tambah carvings sikit. pastu maybe cannon tu nak kene tukar kot. buat besar lagi. yg sekarang ni main sketch je tak nampak ngeri langsung

Dominance War IV bermula~!

hah.. sambil2 mencarik keje ni.. aku nk membizikan diri dgn join DWIV tahun ni. tak tau la menang ke tak. tapi aku nk try lah. dah start sketching dah pun. altho aku rase final nanti akan berubah design nye.. tapi aku dah mula la sekarang ni.

expect slow blog updates n cerita2 pasal hidup aku berkurang la kat sini.. tapi as for dw stuff.. aku rase aku post kat sini gak. crits n comments are welcome.. and most appreciated lah.

tentang home baru fesbuk

ok aku nak tulis home tu as rumah tapi 'rumah baru fesbuk' doesnt sound quite right somehow. 'home' tu kalau translate jadik bm ape aa?

neway.. found out fesbuk nak tukar (lagi) layout dia. adei ape lagi la dia nak buat. simple2 takleh ke? macam yg dulu tu. the new one is supposedly a better layout. lebih teratur n makes u feel more aware of whats happening in ur friends life. we'll see la kot.

and there's this thing called the publisher ke ape tah. truth is i didn't really read the stuff kat announcement tu. tapi publisher ni membolehkan kite lebih customizekan lagi posts yg appear kat page kite n kawan2 kite..kot (i didnt really read). no more those text based (yg simple dah pretty btw)

abih la nubs letak glitter2 n animated2 n text warna2 pelangi yg memeningkan

Dominance War IV

dah 12/3/09!!! aku siriesly terlupe pasal DWIV. naseb baik mahata msg tadi terborak pasal DW. aku rase kemungkinan utk join tahun ni tinggi gak kot. tak sabar amat >_<

from CGTantra.com

The main challenge is like previous Dominance Wars. It is a character-based competition with game-like polygon budgets, texture budgets and a storyline. When the rules are revealed on March 12th, if artists have not already chosen a forum to represent, they must do so now. Unlike mini challenges, artists must create their own personal 3d or 2d work-in-progress (w.i.p) threads on their selected forums. Everyone has 8 weeks to post mandatory w.i.p updates and everyone is encouraged to help others with friendly suggestions and critiques. Before the challenge ends, artists must submit their final entries into the DW system and when judging is complete and the war is over, this year's World Champions and the winning forums they represent are revealed in June 2009.

harap harap harap sangat aku bleh join n siapkan this thing on time. and harap harap harap sangat aku dapat keje before this thing ends. aneh? takpe

tentang keje, bekerje n carik keje

kecik2 dulu cite2 aku nak jadik askar. mase tu berimaginasi lebih berfikir kurang. terpengaruh ngan gaban n ksatria baja hitam n GI joe n thundercats kot. then nak jadik perdana menteri (HAH!!). pastu nak jadik doktor lak.. sebab kekurangan doktor dlm dunia ni. right.

tapi fact is i am not at all interested in those positions. maybe deep down what i really wanna be then is optimus prime or duke or lion-O (tapi definately not gaban). dari kecik sampai besar aku suka tengok katun.. so sekarang i have degee in animation and an australian cert in more animation

sblom aku grad lagi dah cuba2 bekerja (not that im good tapi because i had to go into overtime.. a long time at uni). freelance sana sini jumpe macam2 jenis orang. then in 2006 i got this job at a small new studio working with my coursemates from uni on an animation project that is now famous for their cheeky twins. tapi just after a short while working there, i needed to choose between life or career. i just had to say goodbye to them. i did more freelance before leaving for australia.

tadi i just sent out my resume to this games company. it's a big company.. huge may be sound more suitable. cant wait to start working in the industry again lah >_<. i pray that i will get this job. bukan sebab nak balik kampung bukan sebab nak lari.. tapi it's time to keje balik kot.

dari kecik sampai besar sebenarnye aku suke berimaginasi kot. sekarang pun berimaginasi lebih tapi berpikir pun lebih. thats why i love doing this animation.. n 3d.. and kartun.. and games. it suits me well

modeling reel 2008/2009

^__________^
akhirnye siap bendalah ini. besok nak emel ke CM mintak2 dapat le keje

tentang ceti perkasa

oh ceti zaman sekarang ni makin berkuasa lah. dia kata.. kalo tada bayar itu hutang.. nanti kita kasi blacklist u punya nama la. tada bole pigi luar itu negara la. adeih

so haritu memule isu ni kuar kat paper tercari2 la kat mane nak check list nama yg kene blacklist tu. dlm paper kate cek website imigresen..

siries website tu memang... tak terkata. untuk satu web yg 'best viewed with 800x600 res' website.. amat tak patut lah images seme berjanggut utk load. gambar2 yg stretched n squashed toksah cakap la. design nightmare sungguh

tapi jumpe la page utk check tu
http://www.imi.gov.my/semak.aspx

atau sebagai alternatif.. site yg kurang menyakitkan mata bleh cek kat website ceti gak.. kot.

http://www.ptptn.gov.my/web/guest/upkb

aku tatau la ade communication ke tak between these two sites tapi letak je la. kot2 sesape nak cek gak

tentang sebuah laptop yg gigih

agaknye kalau laptop ni bleh react pada environment aku rase for sure dia dah sepak terajang aku sambil menjerit2 maki hamun segala bahasa kat aku. salah aku gak.. dr pagi aku bangun sampai pagi aku tido, laptop ni la jadik mangsa tukang render file2 aku. kesian ko laptop. i feel ur pain (i think). tapi aku mintak2 la ko jangan tetibe bleh transform n enslave me for hours on end doing hard labour without reboot

takpe tak banyak dah nak dirender. tinggal a few more files.. pastu bleh start composit n render lagi.. pastu compress ie render lagi


berusahalah laptop! aku tau ko bleh buat seme ni!!!

tentang perang CG art paling dasat!!!

This year, 12 different art communities in 7 different languages will compete for World Champion standings in the largest event in the series - Dominance War IV!"

omg the war has started!! tak teringat pun nak cek. aku tak plan nak join the war la.. tapi maybe based on the guidelines im gonna make a DWIV specced model and put it here.. hopefully before the actual deadline.

tentang seorang wealthy wise man

i wish that someday i will become this wealthy man living happily with his lovely wife and kids of my own. but what i wish more right now is that i will grow to be much much wiser.. and i sense somehow i still have a long way to go

being wise is.. tricky. well i always think that smart, educated does not mean wise. wise is.. different. but being wise is what i hope to become

so maybe, one really should live in the moment. carpe diem. try, experience whatever.. while we still can. while we're still young. and when we make mistakes.. we take the responsibility and we learn from it. because thats how we'll grow. and if our boss yells at us for making mistakes, we'll learn it quicker. ironically, by fucking up, we'll be much wiser

so yeah.. i believe i still have a looong way to go
