tralalalala, lala, la, la.

I just received an email from NTU requesting for my specialisations. Mmmmmmmmmmm and I just emailed the professors in charge of Interactive Media Design and Digital Animation. I really really hope that I can make an informed choice. One that I won't regret making. yessssss.

Yeah.

of shirts and over-enthusiastic counter staffs.

hello.

I recently noticed these couple days that whenever I go to a fast food restaurant, I will be served by an over zealous counter staff.

Take Saturday for example. We went to eat at superdog, and this young girl of perhaps 18 years old was getting my friend's order.

she asked (in this order) whether he preferred:
1) toasted bun?
2) sauerkraut?
3) mustard?
4) egg? ('it's very tasty!)
5) upgrade to beef fries?

all with a smile on a face.

I was at fast east plaza today and i popped by KFC to have a quick snack before I left for home. This guy was uber friendly and was smiling all the way through my order. When my zinger took quite a while to arrive, he asked me to find a seat first and he'll send it to me. When he arrived, he gave the burger to me, took a step back, curtsied, and requested that i enjoy my meal.


how pleasant.

maya 8.

ARGH. maya is driving me nuts.

I'm currently learning the basics of polygon modelling in maya8 to gain some experience and exposure to this program so that I can (hopefully) do a successful transfer to digital animation. And it's driving me nuts.

Tutorial says go to Select -> Select Edge Loop Tool. Simple enough. The problem is, I can't find the Select menu! I think they forgot to update the tutorial after Maya 8 came out. I tried googling and I found a forum post with someone experiencing the exact problem.

I am going to tear my hair out soon.

help me please!

I have no idea what to write but I somehow feel obliged to write something. So here goes.

Recently, I've been having these feelings that I can't shake off. You know, when you feel like your future ahead is uncertain despite already being accepted in a university. I don't know why, I just feel like that. Weird, huh? I might just be having my mid-life crisis a wee bit too early. Haha.

I've loaded my black and white film into my fm2n, so I guess it's time to bring it out of the dry cabinet and begin shooting again!

Time really helps to change one's decision- I've already changed 2 of mine.

One. Before I enlisted, I sweared that I would never shoot in digital format as much as in film. However, I'm currently seeing my film cameras being in the dry cabinet for far too long.

Two. It's been my ambition to work for a company related to the gaming industry like LucasArts, EA Games, etc. I decided to read digital filmmaking in university (it was either that or photography). Right now I'm seriously considering whether or not I should make a switch to either Digital Animation or Interactive Media Design. But considering that I can still work in the media and gaming industry with a degree in filmmaking, I guess I really need to decide on what I want to do. You know, I've been far too indecisive throughout my life and right now I've reached a critical point where I have to make a decision that would potentially alter my career path (horrifically, for the rest of my life!). And I don't want to procrastinate till school term starts before making a decision (for that would be surely an impulse one).

Argh! I better get out of the house soon and start taking pictures.

On a brighter note, BB Week starts tomorrow, for an entire month. So please donate if people in dark blue uniforms start to approach you for money. Or you can just ask me for a leaflet, I'd gladly send one to you. Haha.
