IT HAS ARRIVED!!!!

APRIL HAS ARRIVED!!!

SEM BREAK HAS ARRIVED!!!

KEI'S GALLERY ARTBOOK HAS ARRIVED!!!

YESSSSS!!!!! KEI ;A; FOREVER!!!

--------------------------------------------------

Anyways i almost dieded this last week working on


for figures 3 final due on Thursday

and for perspective due on Saturday

I just love purple don't i? both versions look so purplish orzll
Bigger versions here and here

oh mai gawd working nonstop on 2 full scale cgs within a span of a couple of days is tiring and crazy. After figures class on Thursday i went home straight, kaputted, woke up for dinner and kaputted again till the next day. I woke up on Friday cursing myself for the work not done for Saturday.

From 10 am till 6 am on Friday, i sat in front of my computer working the piece for perspective, halfway almost giving up and just submitting the bare minimal requirement of an outline (at 10 pm). But something inside me wouldn't let that happen. It is the "Xiao Qing" effect part within me which tugged at me. Something flared, telling me that i should not shame my religion and God (Xiao Qing) and thus i pushed on. Coincidentally at 1 am i got words of wisdom and encouragement from the GOD XIAO QING and thus i persevered.

--------------------------------------------------

If paid off.....though i wasn't really satisfied with both the works i did, but still i felt proud of the achievement.

I felt liberated after handing it in on Saturday 10.45 am...

I had wanted to head home to rest then but i made a tradition promise of a dota match at the end of each sem with my gang. (the one and only time i will play) And so headed off for lunch and later the CC. Game ended at around 4.30 pm. I got home at 5.30 pm.....

KO-ed straight on my bed. I vaguely remember my mum trying to wake me up for dinner but i swatted her off and continued my slumber. I woke up at 8.30 am the next morning...took breakfast.....kaputted again at 10 am till 1.30 pm.

Headed off to town with my parents and bro for lunch, and later picking up Kei's artbook at Kinokuniya. Got myself some damned expensive ImagineFX mags and another Warhammer 40k omnibus of the Blood Angels.

Signing off now, stay tune to more kai-ism posts later this week.

Kai-ism demands respect!

Bohahahaha again it has been some time since my last entry. Kai-ism states that i must slack off whenever i can and pretend to be busy.

Anyways, it has become customary lately that i get notes or 'summons' frequently each time when i head to my trusty mode of transportation. Eversince the location where i bank my ancient relic has been found to be pretty consistent at the same spots, i have great fans of Kai-ism dropping notes on my windscreen and toying around with whatever apparel which they can find on it, which many a times is the windscreen wiper. Oh thank you great worshippers, except for the one other relic which might be older than my car, who does not seem to know how to behave herself and act her age. Now death alone is too good a thing for my followers. I shall bless them with 9 generations of Kai-ism.

----------------------------------------

It is almost time to rejoice, or maybe already time to rejoice as the amount of subjects have greatly decreased to 4, which by next week 3 would be left. Now which one next will be eleminated. Find out next on Americ...i mean on kai-ism.blogspot.

Ahhhh life is so beautiful when i can start concentrating on the more time consuming subjects now and put more effort into it. Things are starting to take a turn and i'm actually starting to get a B- FOR FIGURES! finally bitches!!! C...Co...COMBO BREAKER!!!

Anyways, another fun thing to note is the final assignment for figures which i can look forward to cging. I hope i won't slack off too much for it as finally, FINALLY there is something which i am more than happy to do without much persuasion. Those in the dark about this matter will know more when the time comes. I'll post it here :P

Because of that assignment i'm currently brimming with ideas i would love to execute, so i think some of the thumbs i did but failed to pass the "ALMIGHTY GAN" standards will be refined and carried nonetheless when i have more 'personal space'.

Stay tuned for more kai-ism next on the next episode of Americ.....kai-ism.blogspot.

The basic principles of Kai-ism

Subconsciously, after knowing someone for a while, his/her traits will rub off onto you whether you like it or not. To illustrate this, let me give a scenario based on what i have experienced myself.

example 1

When i'm giving advice to a friend, i tend to act and imagine myself being my father at times. Like really donning on his very body and speaking through it. Of course i am still myself, but i have brought along traits that he portrays when doing the same to me.

example 2

This i think some of you can relate to easily. When i mix around Mr D for too long a time, i bring home some traits of what he keeps saying when i'm around him. It's like he goes "RACIST THIS RACIST THAT" and then you tend to carry that around with you for a while and use it yourself without his presence. At that moment and that time, it feels like you are Mr D. Of course whether you will continue that or not, time will eventually evaluate that.

example 3

When i witness a certain gesture from someone, lets say Mr AB, that i find interesting i would then unknowingly repeat it in the presence of others. At that particular moment i feel like i am Mr AB himself doing that gesture and a part of my mind flicks over to think that i am exactly Mr AB now (which by now i would guess his behavior and how he would act).

---------------------------

Those are some the examples that i can come up with right now. I know i'm missing some good ones but i think for now it's enough to get my point across.

In a way, after your first encounter with a stranger, inevitably some traits from him/her would rub off onto you. So a part of that person is fused into you subconciously. He/she has passed on a little of their "essence" into your very being.

I think the closest word that can describe this is "influence" but that's not it. It's like you are that very person itself at the split second you think you are. A mind link sort of thing where you drag out and bring that person into yourself. The longer you know that person the easier for you to visualize as him/her.

In some cases doing what i have mentioned above has helped me achieve things i couldn't before. By willing myself to be another person i have managed to overcome insurmountable problems.

So how much of yourself remains after all that other-person-thingy? Are you still your original self or are you borrowing the skins of others and making it all into a cocktail you call yourself?

I guess everyone differs because it is in our abilities to filter out what we choose to mix together to form ourselves.

In the end, i might just have written something incoherent and confusing. It proves nothing other than that i'm doing my usual crapping. But know that once you have read this article up to this point, a little bit of Kai-ism is already passed on to you :D IT'S TOO LATE TO REGRET NOW!!! I AM SOMEWHERE LURKING WITHIN YOU NOW!!! *mind raeps*

---------------------------

Have a little work in progress before the post ends. Year of moo moo new year pic which i has procastinated long long.

Vocaloid

Yes, it has been sometime now since i last updated.
@.@ oh boy the most hectic week just passed me by. Drama classes are all over now so my mondays are off mwuahahaha!

It's officially exploration week next week but it's filled with replacement classes again. For some reason this time around i'm not that particularly disappointed. Something is not right with me. It must be the numbing effect that is a result of the previous sem that has caused me to be immune to such things anymore o.o!

Anyways, today i'll like to do a little introduction on Vocaloid and what it is. Jun just asked me about it a few days back and i was wondering, why not spread the thing that is the obsession of this blog's owner.


Well, basically it's a voice synthesizing software whereby depending on the generation and unit, produces a generated voice for your song generating purposes (when you know your own voice will make babies around the world cry or even those on youtube). So depending also on the expertise and skill of the composer, songs can turn out to be close in resemblance to the pitch and tones equivalent to an actual singer.

With the release of Vocaloid2 series Hatsune Miku (初音ミク), the Vocaloid series got popularized, all thanx to Nico Nico Douga (jap-version of youtube). People started posting their composed songs together with 2d+3d generated videos and soon Miku turned into an virtual diva/idol. Subsequently better improved versions like Rin&Len and Megurine Ruka (the latest) were released. Fan made artworks started flooding the imageboards of the internet. Even the Vocaloid1 series Kaito and Meiko were not left out of the circle.

Well, i won't get into the finer details so if you're interested hop on to wikipedia for some facts.

Drama class - Objects and Appearance

@.@ oh my i'm so glad one of the major drama acts and appearances are done with. Now just have to go for the last push for the final drama next week orz.

For objects, we were supposed to come up with a play which incorporated

"Repressed Homo Desire, Forgiving Heart, Renewed Confidence, Machine Love"

Needless say it was stupidly hard to come up with a story. But fortunately my team of 4 including me managed to scrap through with a B++ even though it wasn't strong enough and not exactly entertaining. (i'm sorry my team mates TwT)

Basically the story line was cheezy, with a perfect guy which excels at everything he does, except...the catch is.....perfect guys are always gay :P So he comes up with raunchy dreams about his best guy friend and finally decides to confess to him. But too bad, he was rejected and thus bla bla bla he go builds himself a life partner of a robot which was supposed to have human emotions.

Anyways, i like the play done by Terry the best, though i would say Pei Yoong's group was equally as entertaining xD. Sorry though coz i won't write a sypnosis about it lol.

-------------------------------------

And so even after a hazardous performance of drama, it wasn't the end yet....

We still had to do an 'appearance' whereby we were to work on conveying a certain emotion to a fictionaly character B. We have to keep talking for 30 seconds or more on the theme, and of course showing the appropriate mood to go along with it. I'll break it down to it's category, the first being:-

A scolding B [anger involved]

Oh how much fun and anger for this part. It must be due to all the stressed up moments we students of TOA have accumulated throughout our semesters. 8D everyone was having fun yelling away and swearing like it was no tomorrow. Poor Ah Beng had to be the model B which was supposed to just sit there and be empty. (For the benefit of those not knowing, 'empty' is just an emotion blankness where the person is not supposed to do anything and just stay there with a poker face throughout 'empty') He had to receive the most amount of punishment and bad 'chi' from almost all of us. Should have seen it when his turn came. He was almost bursting with anger. xD One can see all his neck veins popping out and his face turning red from all the stress lolololol.

For this, i imagined a certain 'Satan' at home which i came to quarrel with. So its was easy as pie to vent out all my pent up anger to that person. [If you're reading this and know who you are, thanx bitch D8]

followed by,

A expressing love for B [be it family or lovers]

Erm, nothing to much to say here except it was a solemn and at times a tearful moment when each of us took turns to express our love to our designated target. So as to keep it a secret among our own group, i won't disclose the name of my classmate whom i feel did the best among all of us when he/she conveyed it with tears. I was moved as well @.@

Oh we had the romantic type as well where love is expressed in poetic-flowery-sugar-coated words which might come in handy when i'm trying out some pick up lines next time hmmmm....

And finally,

A expressing excitement to B regarding C (object or person)

This part was interesting as well. I got to see all kinds of excitement level ranging from fangirling-type to the creepy-sensual-stalkersan-type lmao. Felix's excitement appearance really had me cracking xD. It was about - A bully who apparently kicked the bucket......the catch? it was only in the FPS game xD! nice twist to the end lol.

I didn't do too well at the 1st try as i wasn't really comfortable with my written script of meeting Steven Spielberg. I had to really stretch it to meet the time requirement. So in a way i was kind of binded by time and couldn't go all out. But i redid it and got better grades :D Actually i was sort of reluctant and content at 1st but with support from lecturer and classmates i eventually succumbed and came up something new altogether. Lol again, thanx to some of my classmates who checked out my blog, (hence they knew about "ALICE" or Arisu) giving me inspiration of using Alice as a theme for my appearance of excitement.

With a little bit of a maniacal excitement/laughter, combined with perverted otaku-ism and ideas from the manga "THE WORLD GOD ONLY KNOWS" (where the main chara finds 2d girls > 3d/reality girls) i managed to pull off a much better version which sent Ah Beng who was supposed to be my empty model cracking under all that randomness XDDDD! (empty models are supposed to remain empty till the appearance ends) In the end i came home suffering from stomache cramps and i still have it now dammit! XD

And to end it, thank you drama studio carpet. Thanx to you i'm filled with carpet burn scars all over. Without fail i will be inflicted with some damage every week.

O Hai Thar

Uh huh. Inactivity as you would call it. Hahahah i've been spending so much of my free time reading History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi that i pretty much neglected everything. Including my sad deviantart page now which is reduced to nothing. Fark i wasted too much time!!! Hmm but i won't say it's a complete waste tho :D managed to sharpen my fighting-pose sense quite a bit from reading it. (And i just love those big boob girls in the manga - Shigure roxxors)

Anyways, a little something which happened before (1) and after (2) the 1 week break for CNY.


i found receipts with piggies drawn on them stuck on my car by no other than the naughty/mischievious/old Celine...CELINE PLEASE ACT YOUR AGE!!!!! (i'm gonna die if she reads this)

Since both of us of the "older" generation choose to save money and park in the back lanes of PJS 9, often times our cars are just back-to-back. Dammit! she's really quick! I had always wanted to do it to her 1st but she was quicker. Great minds think alike.....but lazy Kai lost in execution.

---------------------


So anyway, Composition class paaaaaawns and makes us yaaaaaawn again. Due to the nature of the class i had to keep myself awake with doodles of the Magical Yaoi Loli Meido. Running-like-a-horse birthmark on leg included.....


......transformation from that harmless loli mode (which appears when certain some1 is around) into an assassin type maid (of my own fetishes). Influences from HSD is apparent in the doodle kthxbai. Trish added Yokey, who also hates my guts lots biting me, which Ah Beng decides to add himself stabbing her.

Until next entry, ciaoz
