Visited the National Museum Singapore... heh... here are the photos... Some sublime works by artists thousands of years ago... such intricacy and details... amazing Walking down the slope to gallery of Singapore Heritage "Ghost busters" Never trust China people to take photographs, or at least teach them how to zoom Banana Walnuts - Coordinagger = ??? QQ trying to be funny... Look!!! They are smooching... Melissa and Harry Potter's invisible cloak... PCK Pte Ltd, Best in Singapore and JB...
Love this song... have been wanting to try it, but saw the score, got turned off... too tough.. haha at B-flat minor, its got 5 flats and the chords are killer... however still a very nice song from Yukie Nishimura... simply luv her... Have time to practice cos... FYP OVER OVER OVER OVER OVER!!!!!
This song apparently means "open the heart"... such a nice song, the bulk of the songs are played in black keys if you noticed... i simplified the song abit, omitted a few notes here and there but retain the original melody... hope you enjoy it as much as i played it...
Found my long lost squirrel diagrams buried deep within my computer... my com's in a utter mess and i shall format and clean my lappy up once FYP is submitted... just in case i deleted something important...
Anyways, two different diagrams by two different folders with very different approaches. The Western approach by Michael la Fosse (American) and the Eastern approach by Hideo Komatsu (Jap). The focus is different, both look like squirrels, but for Hideo (yellow squirrel), his focus was more on the tail, making it more 3-D, limbs and other features are simplified, for Michael (Green squirrel) his focus was more on details and forms than making it 3-D. Michael model is flat if you noticed, whereas for Hideo's its "airy, bloated", and cannot be flattened.
Both are folded from A4 paper and equally challenging. Not tough, but will be a handful for most. Which do i like more? My vote goes to Hideo... Simply luv the tail...
My violinist really that bad meh... my friend told me it looks like star wars figure... :( never watched star wars... but hey friend... guess what... i made a star wars figure anyway... Jedi Master Yoda... Too bad i dun have double sided colored paper... the cloak is suppose to be a different color... nvm... after that, Eileen Kieo's bear... bugging me for a bear so long liao... slipped my mind...
Finally tidied up a couple of photos... these are taken during grandma's bdae... although a bit long liao but still... hehe... everyone present... except for dear sister... cos she 画圈圈... haha
Had another go at violinist again... not very neat but can see its form... human forms are much tougher than animals for sure... more practice... jiayou...
Haven't been blogging... busy... FYP and stuff.. but its finally over... relief... FYP not something spectacular but at least i finished it decently, in my opinion that is... hah... Anyway, a couple of things to be happy about, got an A for my imagining imprisonment, much to the dismay of many... and YES JASMINE... its an A... dun suspect anything... now dilemma dunno which to SU. I thought maybe because my class a lot of Indonesian and well i gotta thank them in some way. Well Prof also said he gave credit to those with good handwriting because there are some atrocious ones that doubled his marking time... haha, so it pays to write neatly, or at least legibly.
Ok... hit by an inspiration this morning and decided to pen down this melody, jot down the chords and wrote it in overture (a software for musical transcription), and printed it out, cos I dun have manuscript pad in my hall, drawing lines are too tedious and untidy... haha... its kinda like a draft one, still need to refine...
Well, here is my first composition of 2008, "The Lass Faraway"(didn't know what to call it, Gin suggested this), for the special girl in my life, well she is pretty faraway... enjoy...
Next is a song by Ah Sang... 叶子... nice song... like it, but if you watched the MTV, i thought Selina sang so much better than her... ok, personal view...
Strange but interesting. This is a car advertisement from Great Britain. When they finished filming the ad, the film editor noticed something moving along the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist. They found out that a person had been killed a year earlier in that exact same spot.
The ad was never put on TV because of the unexplained ghostly phenomenon. Watch the front end of the car as it clears the trees in the middle of the screen and you'll see the white mist crossing in front of the car then following it along the road....Spooky!
Is it a ghost, or is it simply mist? You decide. If you listen to the ad, you'll even hear the cameraman whispering in the background about it near the end of the commercial. A little creepy but pretty cool!
Haiz... sianz... very sad... lost IH finals, though not bad, still runner-up, but disappointed la. We would have won had Ryan played la... call him, ask him rush all the way back from Jakarta, stupid, never let him play. Haiz, politics, internal strife, woohoo, best team!!!
Haven't blogged for some time, deadlines after deadlines, meetings after meetings, almost couldn't breathe... *pant pant* CNY round the corner, wish all health and wealth through the year, more angpows and makan!!! What have I been doing the past few days? i sincerely dunno... wasting my life away, haha busy with making other ppl's v-day wonderful, haha *好伟大啊*
Origami also no new diagrams to try, either too simple or not nice, others too complex to understand... but maybe cos they never document properly... heh... hence hence hence, played piano instead.. Came across a song, written by Singapore's very own JJ for Vivian Hsu, absolutely love it, but you can't help feeling Vivian did not do justice to the song. The JJ version is so so much better, check it out on youtube when JJ sings it live during his concerts. Figured out the chords, though not all, only the main parts, gave it a try... played by ear, no score, even if have also won't share, go figure it out yourself... *selfish* Dedicated ppl with smiling beautiful eyes, keep them smiling...:D
Then there is Yukie Nishimuras #$^%^&%@#* song. Dunno how to read or what it means, just feels that its super nice and soothing. あなたに最高のしあわせを <-- only know how to read 最高の in there...
Next up, all time favourite, haha and a request from gingin, wanted to upload this song long ago, but thought its too personal and private *gingin fell in love with me after i played this song for her, so it kinda marks the start of our relationship* Since she wants it up... hehe so here it is, Sundial Dreams... composed and performed first by the super talented king of contemporary moods (at least to me he is) Kevin Kern. But here, it is performed by also super talented... PINKY :P
Final, to end it of today's sharing session, all time JJ favourite, a very classic JJ composition, 一千年以后, enjoy :)
p/s: all videos taken with my new Samsung G600 with 5 megapix lens... super cool, luv it
