Sohs I updated my scriptorium at last,decided not to put in any illustrations because
1.I'm lazy
2.If I eventually decide to do so,it won't be this term break.
I'll prolly be updating it once a week with a new chapter

Sohs here are a few pictures from my trip,not many because my camera kaputted halfway(on day 2/7 ohkaaay....)Video still works tho.
the usual view from the plane.
Kuching International Airport.Looks like a mini KLIA.
Some deco on the wall of a restaurant opposite my hotel.It's about Sang Kancil.
Carpenter street.Looks like those old family run business kind of shophouses along Petaling street.Almost all shops including coffee shops close by 6.30pm though.*yeah,I know,spot metering is like so totally not working here*
2nd day,in Bako National Park.We only took the 0.8km jungle trail,which is 1 hour to and fro,but when it's up and downhill,that's tiring enough.The longest trail is 7 hours each way,but also prolly would have the most interesting animals.Instead what we saw was the usual macaques and some wild boars near the park's HQ.
The beach at Bako during low tide.The cliffs look like old parchment.OK,after this my camera is spoilt.Tadaa.
Wait...there is one shot that works,this is inside Wind Cave,taken with flash.Another cave had bats in them but i didn't manage to take pics.Looks pretty freaky without lights,no park guide,high humidity and screeching bats all around you.All you get is a feeble torchlight which lights up about a few cm space...When it's dark in a cave you can't even see your hand right in front of you.

OK,fine,I will add a few more lines about the highlights of our trip.
We also went to Semenggoh National park which is known for it's orang utan rehabilitation programme. They let the orang utans roam free in the forest and visitors can see them being fed during non fruiting seasons.There was one baby born just 2 weeks ago clinging to the mom too.When we were watching the orang utans being fed,one of them almost shat on me.I think it was aiming for the woman next to me.Yilyn was so having fun when I told her on msn.I know she wants to be shat upon by a wild animal one day. They also have different gardens for wild plants around the park.
Near Semenggoh is the Padawan pitcher plant and orchid farm.Lol...first thing i though about when I heard that name was Star Wars.Anyways...it's quite a small farm,and has more pitcher plants than orchids,especially if you concider orchids has so many varieties.Lots of mosquitoes though,ironically.And no visitors eventhough it's supposed to be a tourist destination.
Another good place to go is the Santok market which is on Saturday afternoons to Sunday afternoons.Not sure if they stay there overnight.It's basically a big pasar malam but they also sell plants and pet animals.
Besides that we only went to the usual museums.Ethnic museum was ok,Art museum was super lame,Cat museum was lol,Textile museum was not bad.
That's all.lol.Basically if you want to have a unique experience in Sarawak you should go for the national parks .I'm not sure about the cultural village,the entry was expensive at RM60,but everyone keeps talking about it.Claims to have daily tribal dancing and can see tribes' daily lives.Prolly something to look out for if you are there during the Rainforest music festival.We just missed it.It was last month

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack.
~~~~~~
From Sarawak.

I shall type some stuff about my trip later, but for now let me leave you with an interesting thought to ponder.I don't think adults really like their children between the ages 6 and 12. Because when they enter school,they are caller std 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 students. Sexually transmitted diseases #1,2,3,4,5 and 6. Hmm...

Oh,I just noticed I passed my 300th post mark.lol...
Feels so good to be finally free of assignments.I think everything went ok except concept art.
So anyways I'm going to make a to do list for the holidays(it's so fun to do this cos you can get away at putting all sorts of useless junk in and calling it a duty XD)
1)spring clean my room. Dust bunnies are creating a metropolitan under my bed and a few smaller cities on various surfaces
2)spring clean my computer.Maya files are totally slowing it down.
3)update my dA.I think there are dust bunnies there too.
4)practise violin.I must convince myself i'm not totally tone deaf.Or if I am,try to change that DX
5)study Japanese.lol...I seem to be getting nowhere on this
6)do some almost forgotten art exchanges
7)movie marathon.OMG...long list...
-Wall-e
-Kung fu Panda
-Dark Knight
-The Cell
-Schindler's list
-the stuff that's in the list i posted
-stuff on crunchyroll
8)fill up my iTunes even more.You know how several hours of assignments on end using the computer can make all your favourite songs sound dull...
9) post stuff on my scriptorium blog.I'm typing some stuff in Words now,and everytime I do that I get a backache.Dunno why...if I use a mouse and tablet for hours I have no problem,but 1 hour on the keyboard is enough to kill my back
that's all i can think of for now.

Finally I've finished my Maya,with 4 hours of sleep while other people are currently having a mini holiday already.*merajuk*
Anyways...i think i prefer this lighting to the one in the reference,more cozy.But no,I will not post the pic of the reference because mine looks very sad next to it.Everything went well except I forgot how to use occlusion.I think I might have just missed out just one vital step...yay to vague note taking/bad memory/goldfish attention span.So I'm just submitting the usual occlusionless jpeg file.
Meanwhile I will be off to Kuching on Monday,so if anything happens*yes,as in to my assignments*,please call my handphone(does it work in Sarawak?)or email or leave a note on my blog.I'm paranoid something will happen.
Happy Holidays!!
footnote:how many light sources are used for this image?
Actually I thought only 2...but in the end I used 6;2 main lights and 4 fill lights.I think the reference might have used 7 or more though.

the soundtrack for Memoirs of a Geisha with YoYoMa on cello and Itzhak Perlman on violin...I like the concept behind the music.
~~~~~~
in other news,there's only 1 more week to term break.
list of things to do:
-study for South East Asia culture test
-do colour thumbs and final piece for marker rendering
-complete bird +take animation
-complete character sheet (first priority)and environment painting for concept art
-complete interior in Maya
I'm quite happy for completing my floursack animation on Wednesday and my lipsync animation today.
Seems that there's actually an extra week for Maya because there's a replacement class during the term break,but I cannot take advantage of that because I'm going to Kuching as soon as term break starts.

| ihihihihihihihhhiiiiiiiii... i think i'm a bit high... i think i wanna watch all the movies on this list... Red-done blue-not yet.someone please lend some cds to me. Look! Pan's Labyrinth and The Fall are waaaaaaayyyy up there!!!! Gaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! for the movies that I've watched,I kind of agree with the list,except for Star Wars and Pirates of the Carribean. Because I can't remember either's storyline. And in movie making that is the worst that could happen. Although the designs for both movies were nice. ~~~~~~~ Where's my Mirrormask?! hmmph... |
