not sure what s the reason but my right wrist is having aches from using the mouse too long. it must be my working environment setup at home has some problem. once i work long hours at home, my shoulder or now my wrist suffer.

my short animation is progressing on & off for a long time. i always ve a good sense of urgency at work (maybe things in life also). somehow this time i dont feel i can hurry things up. despite that, the perfectionist is still so often the slave of his own ideals.

just finished jostein gaarder 's the ringmaster daughter a few days back. it is very intriguing & i m impressed by his ability to spin so many small stories within the story. the protaganist in the book reminds me of robert mckee, who is the 'story docter' of hollywood & whose seminar i ve attended in january. the difference is that the book 's character makes a rather unethical living by selling story ideas to writers. while those writers come out with 1 bestseller after another from his ideas, he remains anonymous.

his explanation on why writers have to buy stories from him is interesting but also rather familiar. there are 2 kinds of writers who ll do it. those with marvellous gifts of language & expression, as well as those who want to write so dearly, yet none has anything to write about. all that talent & passion but with nothing to say (reading this now, i remember this is also robert mckee 's opinion on steven spielberg during the seminar : "all that talent but with nothing to say", which i dont feel totally fair to the filmmaker).

unfortunately, i dont quite get what the author is trying to get across with this book. it s a big deviation in style & content from his past books. though i can be sure it must be the problem of my own literary standard.

a team project in which my role is animation & lighting for some scenes. the rendered stills & movie shown are from scenes which i ve animated and/or lit but there are many cg artistes who are responsible in other areas like modelling, texturing & rigging as well.

*my apologies for the most irritating pop-ups ads ... their worst damage so far i ve known was hanging my fren 's IE ...

i finally saw the trailer of Turn Left Turn Right on TV just now. the movie, starring jin cheng wu & gigi leung, is based on the bestselling comic of taiwanese illustrator jimmy, which also has a english translated version titled a chance of sunshine.

it s interesting to see that the director du qi feng has transformed some of the memorable illustrations in the book into beautiful shots. the umbrella scene in the trailer is 1 fine example. jimmy 's loose & minimalistic watercolors sometimes let both his characters be lost into a sea of people, & yet still allow readers to 'find' them.

i ve a premonition that the story ll be quite different from the original (cant be helped in adaptation for the big screen). just hope the changes are for better : )

a job is just to make a living. to end your life, & that of your kid, over pressures at work is really ironic. well, the right word should be sad, i guess.

update on snaps section. esplanade + gusu trip, which took place last year ... not very updated at all. for the usual excuses, the new roll of 40 has been decaying inside my ixus for half a year. last check it is merely half-finished (?).

& when would i be decided on getting which model of digicam ... finally? such embarrassing display of indecisiveness.

it takes 2 hands to clap. if only one hand is willing the clapping, there is always this fear of hitting the other too hard that it will finally withdraw.

my signage design & evil rei 's prawn chef character design for my sis 's prawn noodle stall will not see the light. but for a good reason. sis & bf are so lucky coz they r gonna take over the chicken rice stall which has got much better business instead. this offer is also value-added with special training under the grand master (shi fu) of chicken rice. this will ensure that his stall will be in good hands when he leaves for Shanghai.

i m glad things are looking up for them. i was kinda concerned when i found that their original stall is in an unattractive position in the foodcourt. that things folded out in this way is truly unexpected. this is the classic case of being in the right place at the right time.

do give Hai Nan Chun chicken rice at Oriental Plaza a try when you are ard Chinatown. even the Wen Tong Ji branch there get their chickens from them, see? :P

recent hollywood action blockbusters seem to ve problems with coming up good climax coz they opened the movies so well that it s so hard to top on it. thus, the really thrilling part of X-men 2 would be the beginning nightcrawler assasination & the rundown of X-men school.

nevertheless, it s an entertaining film i like. & much better than the first one.
