Adobe Premier Pro CS3 Basic Workshop
Thanks to Applebox Pictures teams and John Hii for their passion towards media softwares.
Eventhough the purpose of the workshop is to taste the water, but the respond is good. The workshop is just fantastic and it really gives me a lot of insight and extra knowledge. It is amazing to see how Premier had developed. The interface focus so much on interactivity as well as the flexibility. At the first glance, it might be confusing, but as the user explore the interface, it is quite easy to get hold of the idea at the end of the day. Nevertheless, the software is no doubt a powerful tool for video editing. A lot of built in what-u-see and what-u-get default option is included such as the fade in and fade out transition for both video and audio.
And, for home video or a simple montage, it can be easily done through out the software. User can explore the variety of the effects and of course, simplicity is always complexity :)
According to John, the CS4 is coming out at the end of this September and more features will be added in for exploration. The media is just too quick in these modern era, and it is so much to learn and update. But i am glad for this opportunity to upgrade myself, and I hope there will be more media workshop to be held in the future.
As always, i hope to see a revolution of graphic perspective in Miri. People here are just taking too much advantage on them; and exploiting them to the max!
We are the professional with the "Eyes" to solve "graphic" problems. Give us a chance!

Lost memory
The shelther when we were out there.
No longer there...
No longer there...
The empty house,
was once full of life
No longer there...
No longer there...
All that is left, is only the memory,
only you and I know,
but you have left,
without a trace,
and when I came back,
everything is just too late,
cos you were no longer there...
A memory for Antie Chong and Uncle Zhang. 19??-2008

Miri-ans' perspective in Graphic Design
the role of a graphic designer is to solve "visual" problems. with the inner born aesthetical sense, and the sensitivity towards colors and combination: designers convey and communicate through art pieces which consist of layout, typo, visual arts, packaging and etc. graphic designers are often visual orientated, and are train to perceive things graphically. the success of a designer is to meet the need of their targeted audience. and of course, one of the element that a designer should have is "creativity".
being involved in this field, especially in miri, i personally felt quite upset on how the mirian perceive the role of a graphic designer. we are often exploited. i remembered i was so underpaid. it is just cruel to see an advertising and printing company is paying RM800 for a graphic designer! in their mindset, they thought that all we can do is , to "produce artwork" using "computer". often time, we are being perceive in line with the secondary graduates... and i personally felt sad that the malaysian is unaware with "intellectual property". that is why pirated cd is everywhere!
the wikipedia translated intellectual property as: "a legal field that refers to creations of the mind such as musical, literary, and artistic works; inventions; and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce, including Trademark Patent Related right. Under intellectual property law, the holder of one of these abstract "properties" has certain Exclusive rights to the creative work, commercial symbol, or invention by which it is covered."
just imagine when you put all your efforts into an art piece, and other people just take it as theirs without any acknowledgement... how will you feel?
i really hope that the graphic designers in miri can stand up and educate the people! it's not about just taking in but it's about sharing - the passion for Original art & design~

Strange Relationship
Sometime, it is such a joy to meet friends around the places like supermarket or etc.
But, today, I don't feel like it.
I met 3 groups of ppl from my past stepping stones in A day, and at THE SAME place!
Well, before the thrill began, I was surprise to meet up with Matt and Cat, these lovely couple at the same restaurant. Then, my colluegue and his sister, at the Same restaurant too!
I was like, wow!
It began when i met up with my past colluege when i worked at Global Art! Her son is already 1 and a half years old! And we were at the bookshop. When my brothers and i'd enough, I saw my prevous job Boss and wife just outside the bookshop! Arrgh, i just don't feel like saying hi, so, i'd decided to hid behind of my brother.....
I thought i am safe when we went into the department store. And as i followed my brother to the toys department, I terjumpa dengan my 2nd job's boss and his children! Oh dear! I just have to say Hi and quickly run away... my goodness.....
I began to think what God is trying to tell me with this strange circunstances that happened today... XD
Anyway, happy birthday, my lil lovely brother!!

Things changed. Too late to realize. When I stood in front of that old house, the owners were no longer there. The last time I hear her voice is the first day of CNY 2008. Eventually, she passed away on the 10th of CNY...
silent regret. memories passed. things that can be done, is to move forward...

Charge Up!
Life working in Curtin is moving along the way, despite all the politics... U just need to do what is right and what is righteous. :)
Being called as a "webmaster" is really embarrasing.. as i m totally out of this field, since i am from the design background rather that a web bg...
But, thank God for the supporting colleagues and most of all the Charged Up, soon to be conference organised by Livewire Media, to charge up the media artist out there for God's ministry! (24 April-28April)
web production is really a new concept for me. eventhough i did a minor in the past, but still, im incapable of handling one.. therefore, i felt sesat when i was called to this post... >,< but i believe the Mighty, Author of Salvation will guide me, and show me what will be laying ahead of me! :)
looking forward for this wonderful conference and the impact for the journey ahead!

Shiro Neko
my 2 dogs were barking madly at 2 am.
Even my neighbor was awaken by them.
I thought that a thief had broken into our house. And with my brother, we went for an exploration in the dark, to the place where they barked.
To our surprise, a cat is lying under the rambutan tree. My brother is so angry that he thought the dogs had killed some cat from outside. When the torch light flashed toward the poor creature, it is wounded severely. A pure white cat, so beautiful and so wounded. The legs are broken, and we can see that it is no stray cat. Because it is huge! The poor thing is in fear and exhausted, lying on the floor after a long fight with my dogs. Imagine the scenery: 2 dogs verses 1 cat!
We do not know what to do. Thinking of bring the poor creature into the house is not a good idea. And my brother even suggested just to throw the cat next door!
After a long hour, we try to grab the cat, but at the same time we fear that it will attack coz the fellow is not friendly. And it is in the state of fear defending mode! We brought a shover, thinking of shoving the cat and put it outside, so it can walk back home safely. Well, it is not a good idea! the cat is just too heavy.
In the end, we covered it with cloth, and carried it to the front door. As long as the gate is open, the poor thing went outside as fast as it could!
I can imagine if that poor creature is my pet, i will be extremely sad! I hope it is ok and the master can treat his wound well.....

The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
I enjoyed musical drama since young. Movies like Sound of Music, Mary Poppin and Dancing in the Rain. etc is indeed: classic! Those music + expression are always intriguing. Just watching the actors and actress' singing and putting their emotion into the movie, is really heart melting.
This time around, after The Phantom of Opera; is my fav director and my fav actor, making another master piece together: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street .
I was so surprise when Depp took the challenge to sing. (eventhough he can't really sing well.. haha). But the whole movie, is tragically beautiful. The combination of the monotone b&w +color, is brilliant. The goth style make up and the 18th century fashion, how contrast yet creates the atmosphere. All in all, the movie is bloody, (just see how Depp swing the shaver and cut ppl's throat like chicken, and how the blood spill out like tin of coke after having a hard shake... well... it is quite insane.. haha) and ironically sad. The tag line: Never Forgive, Never Forget, give a clear idea how the story will end.
Anyway, I believe not everyone will love musical drama. But, I believe Burton is a genius when he portrayed the original script in this way. The reborn version of Burton's style is indeed a unique piece and beautiful artwork.

Another New Episode
I'm always struggling for my work. Most of the time within the past year, I have been striving just to get a better paid job. I remembered one of the goal is to be a young entrepreneur, setting up a new "company" or something like that.
But God works in a very amazing way. His thought is always higher and His plan is always perfect. And that is how it started....
Joined MedianLabs and now working in a bridal shop (which should be a "NO" in the list... me working with brides, NEVER lolz)
The bridal shop is really God's plan, when God open door for me to really share Gospel in this workplace. First a collueague who had left apperently, is one of the fellow who is really open to the Gospel. We discuss on many things regarding to Christianity, and that is such an experience that I have never thought of. Then, I found out that the whole "community" in this workplace is somehow heard and even come in touch with God before! First my boss and his wife.. are christian who had left church for a long time. Then another 2 collueagues who had christian relatives!
The highlight in this workplace is, I met a very special person. A special person that God brought into my life.. someone to take care of and especially on the duty of dicipleship. This sister has touched me with her powerful testimony.. and help me to see how strong she is, eventhough she suffers from cronic health problem. To tell the truth, I felt threatened when I found out that she's coming back to work. (As in I am the replacement when she felt sick)
But God opened my eyes! And teach me how to love and be sensitive to the needs!
Today, my prayer is that this sister will be healed from her sickness, and grow in Him. And most of all, I will try my very best to help her, not only her physical need, but her spritual growth as well. I really thank God for her!
May God help me to open my eye and continue to seek Him in this 2008!
