devMeet SG 09

well, the night of the 20th, i saw a tweet by zemotion about her joining in the for the devmeet on the 21st

what went across was, wow, singapore finally have a devmeet, something new, i thought

so i went on to search around deviantart and found out that it's actually a deviantart world tour meet

meaning that it's an actual official deviantart meet

not just some locally organized devmeet man

but then again, i took a lot at my schedules and todos

:| :| :| so many things yet to be done

and so many things to be done FAST !

i thought of not joining : /

the morning of the 21st,

i thought

well, this kinda thing don't always happen

and the chance to meet amazing artists, the like of zemotion herself

was WOW

+ i haven't been picking up the camera for some time

so i thought, well, just drop by, if it's just some boring meet up, will just make some excuse and leave early and go for a walkabout shoot myself

but i was wrong !

the meet up was great man !

made a couple of friends

went alone not knowing what to expect

and came home :D

ok nothing much to say really

just happy that i went :)

a total of around 160 deviantart artists came !






myself and Heidi, deviantart Director of Marketing






oh and myself and JingNa of course
the always inspiring admired photographer











the deviantart *celebrities
left to right
'Artgerm, $Heidi, 'b-photo, $syped (co-Founder & CEO of deviantart) and 'zemotion

i had fun :)

aight

now is time to go sleep : /

random iPhone pictures

i re-organized my iPhone pictures folders last nite and found a couple of pictures that i actually kinda like and never got the chance to share them

coz now = a lot of work

if i can finish them by today means tml then can go out shoot

if today cannot finish means tml is another stay at home day and do work work work

nevertheless,

i still do hope that everyday i can live this kinda life

doing things that i love :)

poster and leaflet design

well, life must still go on
and for that matter,
tonight is a pretty very productive night
after gathering my thoughts and drafting out the design ideas,
i finally blast the music and began designing
making what's in my head into a reality is something i truly enjoy
and these are what i've come up with : /

poster design 1






poster design 1.1



yeah yeah
just a black version

witnessing death

monday

11.15 a.m.
i was cleaning the fish tank, went back to the old house to get a drink
then he walked by the narrow corridor connecting my old house and new house, carrying a ladder in hand and asked me to pass by first as i was walking back to the new house where the fish tanks are located

11.20 a.m.
finished cleaning the fish tank
went up to my room to bathe and was planning to sleep

11.35 a.m.
done bathing, look through the dvd collections and pulled out "the holiday" to watch before i sleep
a habit that i've undertaken during the exams period
a movie before i sleep

11.40 a.m.
was about to lie on the bed then i received a frantic called from mum
"UNCLE FELL DOWN..FASTER COME DOWN..HURRY HURRY !!!"
"ok ok ok....."
in my head i thought and imagined he, sitting down on the floor with both leg stretched out, a hand holding a cigarette like he always do whenever he's at work and saying things like he's alright, tough as he was and that mum had just made a big deal out of another small matter

11.42 a.m.
i was down there
nobody in the living room
walked out all the way to the front of the old house
a lot of people gathering around
went out to the streets
and there,
the sight....
he, lying on the street
blood running out from his nose and mouth

the neighbor had all came out for help
some in confusion
some shouting words that appeared wordless in my ears

i was shocked

11.45 a.m.
without thinking twice
i asked the maid to open the main gate
i went in the car
drove out
and the neighbor helped me carry him to the car
dad sat beside me
and we sped to the hospital

12.00 p.m.
i went pass a red light and we arrived at the hospital
in the car dad had called an in-house doctor to be on the standby for our arrival
he was there behind
lying
the blood had dried off by now
the nurses came
i opened the door
they carry his helpless body onto the stretcher and wheeled him into the emergency room
i parked the car
ran in to the hospital
straight to the emergency room

12.05 p.m.
for the first time in my life, i saw dad panicked
but still he remained his cool
he gave calls to his wife, daughter and son
also to other cousins
there i was standing helplessly
looking
the sight
two doctors by him
he wasn't even properly wheeled into a "station"
he was just there
in the middle of the room
they gave him cpr
had the oxygen tank to help him breathe
then he chocked


12.10 p.m.
the fight went on

dad, still giving calls

i still there
in disbelieved on what i'm seeing
then the doctor turned around

"there's been some internal bleeding"

then
i saw the nurses sucking blood from inside his body
and others injecting him with i don't know what

"we're losing him"

and the doctor began pumping even harder


12.15 p.m.
"we've lost him"


i, have lost another uncle.
only this time,
he left us before my eyes.

omg so busy

as anticipated
my "holiday" back here isn't really much of "holiday"
i've just booked my flight back to singapore
flying back on the 18th
i play a little games in the late afternoon, waking up in the mid afternoon
then have my dinner
then more games and family time
then my supper
then i'm up all night working
have got 1 major editing to be done
but looking at the condition of my laptop now
i think i'm gonna have to postpone that till i'm back with my mac
then the piling up works are designing works
- exhibition poster design
- exhibition leaflet design
- exhibition invitation card design
- mini website draft design
and the only design complete were the previous post's t-shirt design

after leaving designing off for quite some time
am kinda :| to have so many designin work to do
but it's all good
= time re-visit photoshop in detail
and get the head back working for fresher ideas XD

am totally loving NOW.
lots of works be it photography or design = LOVE

syog t-shirt

2 days ago
we had a syog meeting updates
then i was requested to come up with the syog volunteer 2009 t-shirt design
