Urgh.. Silap besar tdo lambat smlm. T_T  My progress of work was snail-like. I even nap inside the Surau for god knows how long. And I was still sleepy. Uhh… Ok today I will sleep early. 1am!

Finished Haruko Ruhara fanart today at the Mac’s Photoshop. Too bad the USB connection for data transfer is blocked. I can’t upload it. Ah Loong (the boss) saw my drawing and said it was good. (but not good enuff) It’s nice to hear comments from other people other than just “Wah So Good!”. :3 Thanx Ah Loong!

Nothing much happened today. The story of Cave Rangers continues.. haha!

p/s: Wilson is such a joker. Too bad I damn blur. Can’t understand whether he’s making a statement, sarcasm or humoring himself. =___= so sleeeepy!!

Current Mood: sleepy

Woke up damn late today. 8 am. T_T Departed from home at 9 am. Reached work at 9.30 am. O_O Everyone (well not EVERYone but most of them) just settled in their working spaces already. T3T Uhh…

Ah Bee just moved to the ground floor studio today. He used to be the tean leader of the animation department, now it’s Lynling. Our team got called just now into the room. He gave some advices and a little farewell talk (as if he’s going far far away XD. Downstairs onli maa) Ah Bee personally told me that I was seated next to Jien (i think that’s how her name was spelled) because he wants me to have a rough idea and hopefully learn a little bit of something about keyframing. He hopes one day I could do it too.

Wah I was just getting used to doing clean-up and liking it, now I need to learn Keyframe? So fast!! O_O But seeing how Jien work, looks so hard. Clean-up was merely like tracing over… Keyframe means, you’re doing the lines which are to be traced by clean-ups. Uhh… My figures not so good. (especially hands) T_T This would be an opportunity for me to improvise my sketching skills. @w@ Ganbatteh!

I just found out that Carrie’s only 18. O_O I thought she was around the same age as me. Wah so young!! So cute summore. *v*

Current Mood: speechless

Wilson just handed me the staff security card. Uwah so fast you guys gave me? I didn’t expect to get it untill my 3 months of probation ends. OvO Whee now I have my own card I can go in and out of the building easily. No need to worry about no one to open the main gate for me. Uyeah!

Ah Bee asked me and Carrie and LeaLea to move our workstation to the front row. (Facing the blank green wall T_T) I’m now sitting in between LeaLea and Jien (hope I spell her name right). LeaLea is like me, doing cleanup while Jean is doing keyframes. Ah Bee wants me to watch and learn how to do keyframes frm Jien. Wah good!! I love learning new stuff. But just now I see her work, she look so stressed out. Even when Carrie and LeaLea went back home after 9pm, she’s still there! And I went back too, she’s still there!! She said she needs to finish it tonight or else tomorrow more files will come piling up. OAO No wonder people are really stressed working there..

I have two files to finish today actually.. But I didn’t even manage to finish one file. T_T Both files are 10 second scene with LOTS of keyframes to clean-up and two characters each scene. Uh.. tomoro really must finish it. Ganbattehh!!

p/s: So glad I moved place. Now I don’t have to sit next to that weird emo guy anymore. ;p Ah~ jahatnyer~

WII IS HERE!!!! IT’S HERE!!!!!! Animasia studio has just added a new console to the family of recreation room!!! WOOHOOOO!!! I’m excited because I’ve never really played (let alone touch) Nintendo Wii before. Saw Melissa and Steven playing bowling on the Wii Sports. Lulz. Funny yet exciting! Looks really nice. Maybe I’ll try it some day. Uwaahh!!

Oh and Dasimah just told me that the company usually by cakes every month to celebrate birthdays. Just now Kok Lee came back with a strawberry chocolate secret recipe cake! Yummm!! Happy birthday Steven and err.. another guy whom name slips my mind. O_O

Yesterday was punching bag day. Today is Wii and Cake day! XD Wonder what new exciting stuff will come next woohoo!! I’m enjoying myself here in Animasia. :3

p/s: Dasimah just told me the secrets of communicating via iTunes and networking. XD

Day 03 - Thursday

O_O I actually forgot half of what happened yesterday. Anyways, point notes just to take note on progress.

• I finished one and a half scene that Carrie gave me
• Ok I messed up her name again. It’s Carrie @ K-Rie. NOT Karine or Carolyn. XD
• I brought my iPod to work today coz the music on the Mac’s iTunes is… not much of my liking.
• My only female Malay friend, Dasimah just got transfered from 3rd floor to ground floor along with her senior cum supervisor cum task giver, Wan and the rest of the storyboard artists. ;_; I miss Dasimah…
• So I am now sitting beside the Lim Kok Wing intern boy whom his attitude is a little bit weird and it gets weirder by the day.
• I LOVE WORKING HERE!!!! Woohooo~~

Day 04 - Friday

• Animasia’s 3rd Anniversary today. There was a meeting held at the “cinema” room (I think that’s what it’s called) today. Awards were given to the super senior workers for their hard work and some got promoted. Lynling, Han, Colour, Moon, Apai, Fei Chai (forgot his real nick name) and two more whom I coudln’t recall. O_O
• Ah Loong, The Boss, talked to me today and seems very nice. For a boss, he sure acts so cool and laid back with the workers and all ^_^
• Oh and they even asked the newbies to introduce themselves on the stage in front of all the department. @,@
• Ayour from Gempak came over the anniversary event during dinner time. Talked to him. Glad we have a little talk back then hueee.
• Makan-makan was delicious!! First time I join for four days got so many things happen in the company summore. Somehow I really wanna work myself up to work as long as I can here. I find the upper workers takes care of their subordinates quite good. Oh and I heard their going for company holiday this October. OvO wah so nice la! Though.. dunno if I can follow or not since I’m new. =w=
• I HAD FUNNN WORKINGGG!!!! :3
• Oh.. and today balik awal. Boss kasik! XD Whoohoo!!

Second day of work, turns out I messed up the name of the girl sitting in front of me. It’s Karine. Not Carolyn. She gave me clean-up work today. Quite the same basic principle as tracing character on my previous exercise BUT.. this time it’s animated. So I have to really trace the movement so that the outcome doesn’t look so cacated. First time doing it, I hentam onli… After replaying the animation, looks sooo cacated. I need to redo/touch-up/clean it tomorrow.

*sigh*

Took me the whole day (9.30 am to 10.15pm) to do a 10 second scene. And that’s just cleaning the HAND of TWO characters. 9_9 Aiyaiyai.. And I made lots of careless mistake which ends up me re-doing the whole frame again… Tomolo better focus!! FOCUSSS!!

On traffic note, I departed from home a little later than yesterday. Went out of Shah Alam at 8 a.m, the morning traffic is slightly congested compared to yesterday (plus it was raining summore). I arrived at work roughly around 9 a.m and the door to the studio department is still not opened until 9.30 a.m. XD *swt* Having this urge to depart slightly later tomorrow too haha!!

p/s: I am still messing up the keyboard shortcut when using my PC…Why the difference in button positioning of command between Mac and PC. *_*

Current Mood: wtf..

Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been caught today. He was supposed to report to the police at 2 p.m. He was caught at 1.05 pm at his home after he came back from the Anti Corruption Agency. This is conspiracy. Even if the police wants to capture him, they could’ve atleast waited for the clock to past 2 pm, according to their statement.

I guess Pak Lah (or the government or the one who’s been controlling him) is afraid of his own shadows.

Speaking of that, the traffic jam last Monday really has cause so much trouble not only for the citizen of Malaysia but for foreigners and investors who happens to be here aswell.I just read The Star newspaper just now. A Thai investor complained that he had missed his flight back to Bangkok and had to cancel his two important meetings just because the government is afraid of this “one guy”. Great job you guys. You’ve really put a “good” impression about how Malaysia handle problems. 9-9

I’m not into politics very much but seeing all this “drama” the government has been putting up, I can’t help but think and ponder on it subconsciously… and I’m not type of person who really cares about current issues!!

Took the route to work via NPE today. Takes roughly around 40 minutes or so to arrive, WITH the “minor” morning congestion at Jalan Klang Lama. So I’ll be taking the NPE route from now on. Cheaper. But just now I departed from home quite early (7.40 am) and arrived there around 8.15 am which is REALLLLLYY early coz they opened the gate to the office around 9.20 am just now. XD Aiyoh! Supposed to masuk kerja at 9!!

First day of work, very educational. They teach me basic Flash. I did an exercise of character tracing and they teach me about layers and grouping. For zero knowledge in Flash, I find it reaallly realllllyy reallllllyyyyyyy inspiring!! *v* Took me about 10 hours to finish trace one character. XD But better than most newcomers who took around a day or two to finish it so yay!! The only problem is I think my work is not tidy enough for the standard of animation. Hmm.. better put in more effort into details. O_O

Oh and today was the day I first use Mac. OvO *insert jakun mode*
I come back home, and gotten used to using ALT + C to copy stuff. Coz the ALT key is where the command key is at Mac’s keyboard. X_O

Tomorrow, serious work. Carolyn (the helpful girl who sat in front of me a.k.a one of my tutor) said she wanted to give me “work”.. Ok goodnite.

p/s: I dunno why but my hand is shaking while moving the mouse and typing this. ;_;

My experience of driving from home to work via Federal Highway today was…

HORRIFYING!!!

Guess why?

Instant traffic jam right after I entered the Subang Jaya toll. Stuck there from 7.30am to about 8.30am. Mind you that’s not the whole journey. And Guess how far I have moved for 1 hour? 3km. HAHA!! That’s like from the toll to the first exit. I took the nearest exit to Subang Jaya and returned back home. Upon arriving, I read the newspaper only to find out that the government are arranging roadblock at all major road connecting to the heart of KL hoping that they would avoid unwanted rally of the opposition supporters at the parliament.

Yeah thanx for making me waste a lot of time and petrol. I wonder how many people were late for work today. And how are we going to generate revenues by making people waste their precious time? You think.

Other than that, I think thanks to the horrifying traffic congestion at federal highway, I have forced myself to find an alternative route to Jalan Puchong via NPE at Sunway. Turns out it’s much cheaper than going through Federal Highway. Hmm.. We’ll see how long it’ll take for me to arrive to work via NPE tomorrow.

Yeah my first day of work tomorrow. *_*

Current Mood: cheers!

I just finished ironing my working clothes. There’s tonnes of clothes actually and I can’t believe I thought I have few. I even found out some unworn pants and shirts while cleaning up my closet. Good thing I finally decided to clean it. I packed away some old clothes which still could be worn. Going to give it away to my cousins and extended family back in Taiping. Mom always says not to throw away clothes, shoes, books and toys which are still in good condition. Some people might need it more than we do.

Will be starting work on Tuesday. Tomorrow, I’ll just drive myself to work just to estimate the time and traffic to work. I heard Jalan Klang Lama and Jalan Puchong packs some serious jams and butters. Oh and I need to pay the Touch’n'Go card afterwards. Not sure how much balance is left but I’m sure it’s few.

I think I have managed to fix my biological clock a bit.
Atleast I can finally sleep during the moon shines. LOLZ! Seriously I couldn’t even shut my eyes untill the sun shines.

Ah~ Feeling all *dokidoki* about starting work. :3 woohoo~
