My source of inspiration

• Music : Plays the most important role in all my creative process! Well, normally when i am lost, I will load up itunes and blast my room with all sorts of music while i think of the concept and ideas. There are times, when I would stare at the mesmerizing visualizer in iTunes to look for inspiration for my motion stuff - no i am not joking. Seriously i can stare at them for at least 30mins. 

• Movies : Since I am in multimedia, my work involves movies production too. So there is no reason why movies shouldn't be in my top 5 list. :P In fact, it is my lecture's advice. WATCH MORE MOVIES! Movies are my companion while i work on my work and to keep me awake as i work through the night till dawn. And normally I work a whole lot better when Pride and Prejudice is playing - i know it is not the world best CGI movie nor is it the most interesting movie, but i just love Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy!

• Internet : One of the best source of inspiration! I normally spend a lot of my time over at DeviantArt looking at other people's artwork and also through people's comment on my artwork to get myself inspired and stay creatively connected to the world . Besides that, blogging and reading other people's blog can be just as inspiring too! and not to mention, Facebook can be pretty inspiring and fun. 

• Long Hot Shower : the best place to think as well! ahahha just when the hot water is  streaming down from my head to my whole body, that's when I feel all fresh and all my stress washes away with the water and that's the time I seek for fresh new ideas! Oh I have a friend who once shared with me his way of seeking his inspiration is by sitting in the toilet, like The Thinker by Auguste Rodin and I couldn't agree with him more. Sometimes, the worst time and place, can be the most inspiring one. :P 

imagine him sitting on the toilet seats doing his business

• Friends and Family: Last but not least, my family and friends are the most important people in my life. With their continues support and love, my compassion and loves in art comes from them as well. And whenever i am stress, emo and lost, they are always there for me to rant and listen to me. Thanks! 

Now, here's the list of my nominees for this award : 

• Under18Carbon - my friend from uni. One of the most creative person in my class and I love all his vectors and respect his patience in doing them. His vectors are really really superb! You just have to check out his gallery especially if you love cars (lamborghini to be exact) and guitars!

• PotatoNation - he's my cousin bro. What can i say.... his graffiti art speaks volume and his latest being the backdrop for AVIMA (Asian Voize Independent Music Award) 2009! Love his graffiti and what he do! if you are in Penang, and stumble upon any graffiti artwork with a green monster, that's his work. Good luck bro! Keep up the good work!

• Ind Elwen Tinuviel - my best friend since high school. Her work is simple, minimalist but NICE! love her fashion design especially! 

• RyanScent - my photography kaki and also a colleague of mine. She specialized in couple and fashion shots and they are good. Do remember to check her blog.

• Qilayout - another coursemate of mine and like me, he's an apple fan but even geekier and more fanatic. haha But most importantly, he's creative too. Love his card designs which you can buy from foldees.com. Check out his site too! 

I guess, i have come to an end of my post. I have to get back to my work that is pilling up....

Wish me luck and hopefully I won't die of stress just yet ....

Just me about Malaysian Dream Girl

Have been wanting to blog about MDG for a very long time but i never did. So today, finally I did. So here goes....


There's only 6 girls left in the competition. They are

1. Adeline

Nice pose but she need to work on her facial expression


like her pose here. she looks like she's flying + dancing.

My comment:
Adeline has the height. From the show, I can see that she doesn't gossip much about other girls in the house but still she's doing great unlike Eyna who doesn't talk much and does not have enough votes to allow her to stay. Wish Eyna is still here....

2. Cindy

looks like aunty cindy

don't really like this picture... expressionless

My comment:
Cindy is too bit*chy for me. She doesn't appear like a girl that I would regard as a Dreamgirl. She's too ah lian and I don't think that she's capable of being a top model because of her attitude and her normal look. Probably she'll do great in some soft porn DVD interface. (sorry, i know i am harsh here). But is this a dreamgirl competition... she might be in the top 3 if her family and guys continue to vote for her. I don't think she can win votes from girls... just my thinking...

What's with this make up girl? Makes her look so UGLY FUGLY OLD!

3. Hanis

B-O-R-I-N-G

I like this picture. I think this picture is the best among all.

My comment:
Hanis... the sweet girl next door? I DON'T THINK SO!!!! She looks like an innocent girl with that fresh and naive look... but from my opinion, I think she's the smart one at trying to mastermind and make people vote for her. She's complaining so much about everyone and she's swearing so much in front of the camera (epi 13 when she was disqualified)! Innocent?? -.-"" I know when you are angry, words come out from your mouth... but hello... she knows the camera is rolling....and furthermore, i notice that when Cindy was in the bottom 3, she gossip about her kau kau and when Nadia is at the bottom three, she switches her target and then start gossiping about how competitive Nadia is and how Nadia is spreading the negative vibe to others. Probably she's trying to win some votes from Cindy and Nadia's fan. :P Smart? Well.. this is a reality show... everyone has their own way of doing things... i just don't like her gossiping so much about others.... totally not DREAMGIRL-lah.

On Hanis, in Bahasa Malaysia : "Air yang tenang jangan sangka tidak ada buaya"

Furthermore, her pictures are BORING! High fashion + international standard?? NOOOOO!! She's good for KIKI LALA ads.

Datin Kiki Lala

Like i said earlier on Cindy, she might not be a model material but has the potential to win and be in the top 3 because a lot of people is voting for her. So i am not surprise if she's in the top 3. This is a Dreamgirl competition it is based on votes. Her family will definitely continue to vote for her... no doubt.

4. Jay

Love the gown! love her pictures

WORST picture of the week! What happen Jay?

My comment:

Jay is probably the most qualified among all the girls for modeling. She won Project Runway (which I think is because she's lucky since she was paired with the winning designer). Her height and her body is just perfect. Potential! Vote!

5. Nadia

nice body

normal picture and i don't like her mouth here. I know it's hard to control the expression and jump at the same time!

My comment:

Nadia is HOT! but it will be hotter if she got the height. She's probably lacking in that and everyone is complaining about her looking fierce. Well.. that's her face, her normal facial expression... she can't be un-fierce for 24hrs can she? I know how she feel cos i have people complaining about me looking fierce while i was just being normal.. so i know how Nadia feels and i am sure she's struggling to get rid of it. We are born with the fierce face.. and that doesn't mean we don't smile and laugh and that we aren't the nicest people. Furthermore, being competitive is good. I don't see the negative thingy about spreading the confident vibe to other girls. This is a competition and being competitive will give the competition and extra kick and every girl will try to outperform others and this is good for us as viewers. Like a football match, an equal attacking and defending skills from both team makes the whole game a good game. So, i would love Nadia to continue to spread the competitiveness vibe and make everyone step up a notch and give us the very best the first MDG can give to us viewers. Vote for NADIA!

6. Ringo

a very normal picture. not much to woo-haa about

she looks like an angel or a fairy here! remind me on timberlina! Nice~

My comment:

the cheese? I used to be one of the anti-ringo girl. I never like her cheeseland blog, never like her Women'Secret photo and thinks that she's two face. But after watching 14 episodes, I think I've decided to change my mind. She apologize to everyone about her entry (well at least she's sincere enough to own up her own mistake) and to avoid the bitching scenario happening in the house, she's finding her solace in reading books which i think is a very good example. She doesn't have the height, but i think it is good that we are seeing a girl as petite as her is given a chance to prove herself. She might not have the model height, but i can see that she's not making that as an excuse for not performing well. She's confident and know what she wants. If Nadia or Jay do not win this contest, I hope Ringo wins it!

the show...

the show is getting more and more credibility and giving the girls a chance to catwalk in MIFA is definitely something. I am sure no one expect this to happen.. even the girls said so. I am sure it is once in a lifetime opportunity that all the girls will remember - even for Ringo although she never get a chance to prove herself! The editing is getting better but still there's still lots of room for improvement!


the host...

Sazzy Falak... not really into her and her modelling nor her body nor her hosting... Sazzy is too repetitive on her words such as :

"I am loving it"

"I am loving it"

"I am loving it"

OMG! Hello Sazzy... stop advertising for McDonalds!

"McDonalds is also one of MDG's sponsor. I'm lovin' it", Sazzy said.

Then her comments are so contradicting. She first commented on Ringo on her first photoshoot,

"Your picture is very nice. very sexy. Which surprise me" (episode 5)

then

"When I look through all your pictures you've done for the past few weeks, none of them shone" (episode 11)

SWEAT! Kenny Sia say "eat grass", i say "makan McD"

No animal was killed when i am writing this blog. Do apologize if i've offended anyone from this post. It is just me and my thoughts....
