Story of My Life: July 2016

I've written this post on a Friday but I'm posting this on a Sunday.
So this is actually a little throwback post! Hahaha! This post really
mean so much to me that's I was writing this beforehand because
I don't want to forget a detail about that time. And it's a bit long
so it's gonna need your time and patience to read this! But just to
let you know, it'll mean so much to me. So here the post ;

Friday, 22th July 2016.

Today is Friday and it’s my Graphic Design’s assignment due date.
I’ve been doing this assignment for two weeks now.
To be honest, at first since I’m not familiar with Adobe Photoshop, I
really feel like smashing the whole computer. I know it’s very
violent of me but you don't know how pissed I am during those time.
But learning and practicing is the way to get hold of Photoshop,
so of course I need a lot of help and guidance to learn. This is a great

opportunity to thanks my amazing and so very patient friends,
Tung Tung and Shereen. You really did bring me great help and
very calm at teaching an amateur like me. Even though both of you
will probably never read this post, but I really like to thank both of you.
I’m so grateful and thankful to have friends like you guys!

So, let’s talk a little about my assignment topic. This topic is to
create a movie poster with the use of Adobe Photoshop and
Adobe Illustrator. Obviously this is to test our skills in using both of

these programs and have widely we can actually make use of it.

We were required to sketch 6 different pictures on paper, just a rough idea
on what do we want to do for the movie poster. There were a few ideas but
at last I chose the sketch and well, my lecturer Ms.A chose it as well because
she said it was cute and creative. It’s called “FINDING CHICKABOO”! Why
I had this idea is because FINDING DORY just came out and I really love

that movie so that how my idea came about. But I had to find a different

animal to replace DORY, so I suddenly thought about Chickaboo. Just
in case if you don’t know who Chickaboo is, it is an ostrich that went
viral because it suddenly appeared on the highway - running. That’s how
it went extremely viral. So, FINDING CHICKABOO was born

(insert FINDING CHICKABOO SKECTH)

(actually I don't know where my sketch has gone!)

Started two weeks earlier because I don’t know how to Photoshop
hahahaha! It’s so rare that I would start to do my assignment that
early. You should cherish it, Ms.A! By the way, Ms.A is one of the
kindest lecturer that I know. She is so patient to students and
willingly helped us when we face problem with the
programs. I love you, Ms.A! All that I said are true from the heart.

Long story short, did a lot of mistakes no doubt but learned from it.
I kept changing my ideas along the way. This minute, a landscape
poster. Another minute, a portrait poster. This second, wavy pathway.
Another second, straight highway. I was about to make myself go crazy.
Then finally decided on a background that is more illustrated and
use like a gunshot to aim at Chickaboo to have like an animation/
mystery vibe to my movie poster. My friends said it looks Looney
Tunes themed. It does have that kind of vibe to it. A little wild wild
west, cowboy-ish, desert feeling to it. So my poster turned out like this.

Now let talk about the MAIN MAIN MAIN topic of this post hahahah.
I would really like to thank you (N) for helping me on my movie
poster from editing, moving stuff, arranging till printing. You were
helping me from the start of today when I was doing my assignment
till the final printing process. I was so happy, thankful, grateful and
touched. Every time I think about that moment, I feel butterflies in my
stomach. I feel thousands of knots in my stomach. I will suddenly
smile too and then break out into a laugh. That is why I want to
remember each and every moment through writing it all out. When I
asked for your help, you were so willing to come and help me. And the
way you work with Photoshop and Illustrator. You were so fast and

efficient. You know what I was thinking, how I want to do it and what
I wanted to do to my poster. You are definitely good at what you do
no doubt.

For that moment I think you were very manly and hahah, you were
just very good-looking even without having to look at your face.
You helped me to arrange my fonts and wordings. You helped
me do all the necessary settings needed before printing. You showed
me that I need to do this and this and how. I was so thankful and
so happy that you were there.

Then when I have printed my poster, it looked really nice, well to me
at least. Then you keep teasing about FINDING CHICKABOO.
You used those weird voices and said “FINDING CHICKABOO” in
a very funny voice. It made me can’t resist but to laugh out loud!

Hahah!You are so cute. When he (KJ) asked whether my movie was a

horror one, then you answer “YES!” then said “FINDING
CHICKABOOOOOO” in that funny voiceof yours again. Awww.

You are so cute. You kept teasing about it and it made me laughed so
badly. Then you were shocked when I told you that I draw CHICKABOO
myself. You kept turning to face me today and my heart was beating

so fast you don’t even know. Then when I told you that our assignment,
need to burn into a CD, you asked me to help you buy one. Hahaha.

I know it’s really stupid that I’m remembering all these detail

but my mind just can’t forget it because it’s about you. Then after
almost everyone presented and everything you were waiting for your
turn to present then Miss.A said you did a good job but during your
presentation halfway, I left cause I don’t want to look obvious.

After that, you were packing your bags and ready to leave. Then

I was standing at the path in the middle, then you stood up and

walked nearer to the door and then I was really hoping that you

will say goodbye to me. But then I saw you are nearing to past me.

I was a little disappointed and then my heart dropped but then you

hold my arm and then you said goodbye to me. I was so happy,

I was screaming inside. Then, I said goodbye to you too.

Now that moment is engraved into my brain, I can’t let it out

hahahah. You were such a sweet guy today and

thanks for everything (N). HAPPY FACE HAPPY FACE

p.s just in case you are reading this now (N), no it's not you.

I'm gonna tell you that the (N) is not you,

if that's what you want me to tell you..

Nowadays, all people like to take pictures. It had became an international hobby loved by everyone. What is not to be loved about photography? It a simple hobby and doesn't require much. Some people might disagree with me. Photography needs a lot of equipment. Photography need to see the right timing. Sure, but it depend on your own perspective on Photography. Some people can use an iPhone and take amazing shot. Some people can use a digital camera and take outstanding shot.

I'm one of those people who uses their iPhone and digital camera to take pictures which to me, are quite well taken too. One, I could not afford like DSLR camera as they are really expensive and need to have high maintenance. Two, my own perspective of Photography is that I can take pictures easily, no stressing so what. Three, my phone and my camera is with me most of the time and since I'm writing a blog now, I need some pictures. Pictures are the easiest way to express all the things you have to say. They say "A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words". They are right. At the same time, I would able to keep these blog post as memories. In a few years time or maybe a few months time, I would be able to look back at what I wrote and taken pictures of.

This blog is like a miniature diary for me. Without further a do, let me show you some of the pictures that I've taken. I admit they are not the best but I'm still trying my best to improve. So for the mean time, I would like to show you pictures that means so much to me because I've taken it by myself.
If anyone want to use the following pictures, you are welcome to! Just don't acclaim that its yours. They means so much to me. Thank you!

No more BS. Let the pictures speak for themselves.
