Past celebration!

So it's been a month since my last update. Yes, it's not the first time, and my determination to post more frequently is just like the general public making new years resolutions. They never seem to last. Sure, maybe two to three days, at best, a week or so. And the next thing you know, you completely forget about it. 

So anyway, the past 31st August, was Malaysia's independence day. The country I call home. So yeah, a brief shout out to Malaysia, "HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!" and with that done, part 1 of this post has concluded.

What? You thought I was gonna talk about independence and how we fought for our peace and shi- stuff? Nah, there's this little friendly thing called, Google or Wikipedia too for you to read up on it. That's as patriotic as I can get cause I am not one who's really interested to talk about something that happened WAAAAYYYYY before I was conceived. 

What I'm more interested to share today would be..a celebration. A celebration for what? Coincidentally, a one very known idol's birthday falls on that exact same date, and that said idol would be...HATSUNE MIKU! 

Yes Miku-chan, it's your birthday.

So, the pre-celebration report first. I met up with a group of friends at MidValley to catch a movie. Sadako 3D to be exact. Long story short, that movie was a total joke and I bet me and my group of friends were the worst audience in the cinema. We were laughing at how unreal and comical they made the movie. The movie was a mix of a girl with "Supersonic" voice powers capable of killing cricket like ghosts and the main ghost, was a really cute girl that.. till now I can't seem to understand why she had to die. Oh, and lots and lots of hair.

After the movie, we were all tearing the movie apart, going through bits and pieces of the whole show. Then we headed to Carl's Junior for some om nom nom. It was pretty great and quite a number of people attended the highlight of the event, Miku's celebration.

Yes yes Miku-chan! A celebration for you!

And so like most birthday celebration, we had cake we had food, we didn't really have booze, and we had laughs!

Thanks to Sakura a.k.a. Syazana for the CAKEY!! And look at the Mikus celebrating around the cake!

We had some fun figuring whether or not to sing a birthday song out in public while holding the nendoroids at the risk of looking like nendo worshipping otakus. But then common sense won out and we just cut the cake.

Choco Miku on a cake!

Lero doing the honor of slicing the cake.

And...D'AAWWWWW the complimentary feeding pict!

So yeah, it was a great day, great time spent and back to reality of college and assignment rushing. You guys were the best! =D We should do this more often =)

The gang and the cake before it was mutilated.

Till next post! (Only God knows when I'll even be posting   -___-)

Cheers all!

Modelling?? Really now?

So yeah, for those of you readers who have been reading or checking on my blog frequently, THANK YOU SO MUCH! *bows and wipes the manly tears*

I'm touched. No, really, I AM touched, with no hint of sarcasm, not one single bit. As I've mentioned in  my earlier post, I'll be posting some progress on my 3D modelling of the Blade Liger Mirage(ZOIDS).

Here goes =D

How I started off. By emulating the skull of a dog. The main form before  messing the polygon lines.

 SO, HOW TO BEGIN!? The question that was screwing up my mind. Luckily for me, I thought of a dog's skull. And that gave me the idea to begin/start off the main form(have to thank one "Bubbles" belonging to a someone). Before I mess with the polygon lines and edges/vertices/face and then, lo and behold the outcome of the head.

And here you have the head, with whiskers. Well, it still has yet to go into perfection messing. SOON...SOON!!!

And once I was done with the head, I went on to the body.

Somehow, it resembled a rocket/cannon/blaster

That's the body..yeah, nothing special bout it yet. And moving on~

Foreleg, with no armor on, YET.

Yes, that's the foreleg. without armor on it yet. But soon..SOON!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH- *cough cough* *hack* *wheeeeezzzzeee* Dang, can't even laugh right. -_-

So yeah, that's all I've got for you readers this round.

Stay tuned yo!

Cheers~

Of kits, and models. Model Kits

*knock knock*

Who's there?

*silence*

Must be one of them kids playing with my knocker again.

Yeap, lame start, but like "they"(maybe just me) say, Lame is the new Cool. So yeah, howdy everything and everyone. Been nothing short of busy lately, what with the submission dates for assignments looming closer like the jaws of a fiery dragon about to swallow it's helpless prey. Truth be told, haven't really had much progression on my assignments.

Ended up getting some reference material for my 3D assignment. Surprised me, myself and I though, that I actually went to this extent to get reference. Not getting a clue to what I'm saying eh? Here's a picture.

Yeap, hello there baby

So, a picture of my current project. Just bought this model kit for my 3D modelling. Reason being?

None.

Juuuusstttt kidding. Reason being, I'm a meticulous person. I need to actually feel and see the thing that I'm modelling so I can actually make it perfect. Yeah, and that pretty much summed...this up?

Scale 1/72, Highend Kit, Blade Liger Mirage, Kotobukiya

The CEREMONIAL un-boxing of the model

It was all good and all, hugging, carrying, lugging the huge box back home via KTM. Dear God, the KTM commuter system, could have been the death of me. The jammed packed-ness and all. The box was no tiny BANDAI HighGrade size yo! But this is still better than the size of a BANDAI PerfectGrade box. THOSE ARE LONG AS THEY ARE HUGE. GOD, bless me.

Right, topic derailed *slaps self*. Where was I? Oh, being happy and all. 

Right, so I was happily dragging my haul back home. Taking some memorial pictures of it. Admiring the cover, the art, even...the box itself (Yes, the BOX. You heard me right). Then, the CEREMONIAL un-boxing of the kit. 

The change of look on my face was...quite comical to my dear sister. From the happy smiling, grinning look that abruptly transformed to "OH GOD WHY? THIS CANNOT BE HOLY MACARONI PIZZA SHIZZNITS HAPPENING!" face...You get the picture. Here's a simpler picture.

When I saw this,

Oh god...THE NUMBER OF RUNNERS, THE PARTS!

My face turned from this

That HAPPY FACE

To this

To the OH GOD WHY....NUUUUU FACE

And why is this? Cause I got less than a week to complete both the 3D and the model. I guess...good luck and all the best to myself is needed.... I'm gonna really need it. Truck loads of it.

Been almost a year since I last touched Model Kits. Time to dig out the old weaponry, the ancient tools and whatnots to battle this kit. Hope my skills are still....there.

Anyway, will be posting some progress here and there... o_o

Cheers,

Vincent

The Story That Should BE

Hello everyone and everything. I'm back again. Why? I don't know myself. Maybe it's because I'm just sitting here and suddenly thought of maybe..procrastinating a little...rest a bit, get off them assignments...or maybe I was just bored. But here's a story for you people!

HAPPY READING!

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful duckling that was so beautiful nobody wanted to be friends with her. The reason? They thought she was a fake duckling. So the poor duckling search far and wide for a way to rectify this problem. Lo and Behold! She found...the ROASTER! So she went in and sat for an hour. After an hour, she came out roasted and she was served to a family. Everyone ate and they were happy. The duck? She was happy everyone was happy and also she was roasted black so she couldn't care less. Everyone lived happily ever after. The End.

AND SO

Concludes my post today. I shall now take my leave.

Cheers~

Bon Odori 2012 ~ Summer Event!

Well, hello biological beings! I'm back with a new post. This time a look on the summer event, Bon Odori. 

Bon Odori or Bon Dance, is held to honor one's ancestor. But still it never stops people from joining in the festivities. This year, Bon Odori was held at the same place, Stadium Matsushita, Shah Alam on the 14th of July. There was stall loads of food and a stage was set up in the middle of the stadium for the Bon Dance. 

This year marked the 4th year of my attendance to Bon Odori, and the 2nd year in a yukata. 

So enough talking and pictures! =)

It won't be hard to guess which is me =)

That's all for now folks!

Cheers~

Event Coverage on Anime Festival ASIA!

Hello AGAIN everybody, this few days, it's gonna be a mad rush of updates covering the events that occurred in the past two weeks! Bear with me, for some of this events may have passed already. College and personal life really don't go well together. Ughhh..... >_<

So here it is, I attended the inaugural event of DAY 0 of Anime Festival Asia MALAYSIA. It was held at Plaza Low Yat. For those of you unfamiliar with that place, it is situated close to Bukit Bintang. Easily accessible via monorail. The press conference which also included the appearance of all the special guests and artistes was quite a hit with the ACG (Anime,Comic,Games) *ahem* correction, AMG (Anime,MANGA, Games) fans! The Day 0 event also had early ticketing sales for those who want to skip the crazy long lines on the actual day of the event. 

The event started off around 6.30pm with the appearance of emcee DANNY CHOO himself and Ferlyn Yoshimi (damn, I gotta admit she was cute) 

Yoshimi and Danny Choo kicking off the PARTY!

 We even got a glimpse of the man who made it all possible, Mr. Shawn Chin, the Director. He gave a short opening speech and some short promo video of what to expect at AFA MY(Anime Festival Asia Malaysia) and we even got news of AFA heading to Indonesia this coming September! After the short speech by Mr. Shawn, we were then treated to seeing the special guests and artistes!

KALAFINA!

There was also appearances by Aimi and Maon Kurosaki which sadly I didn't get the opportunity to snap a good picture of.

A placard me and a friend, Max Chu, made on the spot to show our support.

All in all, it was a great opening to one of the well known AMG events in ASIA!

Cheers all!

Vincent.
