A shout out & a come-back!

i was about to write down something about my boss so that i could throw ALL my anger at him in one shot, but i've decided not to. Why put up unhappy stuffs in my jolly good happy blog isn't it? *wink (damn gay... i know...)

but still, i feel the urge to shout out just once:

MY BOSS DON'T HAVE BRAIN!

(now that feels good!)

Okay, done with my shouting, let's see what i want to report this time. It's been one whole month i haven't update anything though, aha!

My Comic Is Completed! It was completed one week ago, and today i got it all printed out! (not published yet lah, just printed out for my own fun's sake) 21 pages of actions without story line! =D

well there is a story but the focus weren't on that, i planned this out to test my drawing ability and seek for more room to expand, and apparently i found A LOT of rooms for me to expand (which is very good)! Want to make this my debut as well, or at least a portfolio that allows me to work full-time as comic artist! It's one of the many stepping stones that push me up a level higher in my journey, and to build up my morale as well... working in this company had made me slacking off and i've reached to a point where i say, "i just don't give a fuck about anything anymore!" There are many reasons that causes it, but let's not talk about the details shall we?

So it's like this, when you reached to a point in your life where you say, "i just don't give a fuck anymore", it's a bad sign, it always is, it immediately pulls down your working ability, it pulls down your morale, and though it might not be related, but in many cases it pulls down your morale in other expect of your life as well! So when you said this sentence, you'd better start doing something to save yourself or you'll be wasting your own life for nothing! So this is my method - i set a deadline for my comic and work myself like dog, day and night, bring it to office but of course i didn't do it during working hour, i do it during lunch time and off-office hour. Stopped hanging out with friends and collegues, stopped yum cha, skipped sleeping, everyday just draw draw and draw! and i think my sacrifice worthy! I look damn terrible right now with serious dark circle around my eyes, but i felt more in control right now, and able to achieve things that i want to achieve! And really, i kinda like deadlines nowadays, especially the whooshing sound they make as they fly by!

Give Your Best Shot!


Give Your Best Shot by ~wilstheone on deviantART

Updated new artwork, featuring Sakura from Street Fighter series.
Did this one as a practice, and i found that the line art is too thick, if i could draw it thinner the artwork could present a better impression! The colour matching is not very ideal as well, the skin tone is... i don't know why... i can get it right with hand-drawing, but everytime i put it into my com... it just ran out of place... =_=
should do some detailed skin study!
So here's what i should improve on:
- skin study
- line art
- colour matching
... which is basically... everything....

damn...
~meh ~_~

A question that leads to conflict...

This is what i read about in the news this morning:

Survey: Majority of Men say no to condom
China Press reported that the majority of men do not like to wear condoms while having sex.
In a survey statistics provided by Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) in 2005, only four out of 10 interviewed used condoms.


Now here's the question, to the girls:
Would you like to loose your virginity to a real thing or a rubber bag? (other things are not an option)

Now here's the question, to the guys:
Would you rather seeing your girl loose her virginity and stumble into ecstasy (or whatever... -_-) to you, or to a rubber bag?

My answer:
I want to give her the real thing, but safety precaution says "ALWAYS USE A CONDOM!"
So what shoud i do?
T_T

.... conflict

oh crap... =_=

damn it! i couldn't finish my comic in time! AAAArrgh! Geram!

well... not that there's an official deadline or wat... it's just my habit to set deadlines for my own projects... and i'd planned to finish off my first comic by the end of last month at the beginning... BUT DAMNED I COULDN'T MAKE IT! SOMEBODY SHOOT ME PLEASE!

i want to give myself excuses... infact i have one... but nah!

Filthy Rich? or Dirt Poor??

Here's a quick shot:
Do you want to be a rich fella? or a poor guy?
Well i believe that no one really wants to be a poor people, most of them are forced to, due to their lack of luck, slip of opportunity, uncompatible skills and capability, short of initial capital, betrayed by fellow friends and all sort of shitty hardships. But all to all, no one wants to be poor. And the question above is basically a stupid question with only one short answer most of the time, a big "i want to be a filthy rich man!"
It's only normal, i would've answered the same as well! Being poor is... difficult... people look down on you, no one gives a damn about you... your existance - is insignificant, whether you're dead or alive, it doesn't matter (at all!). So everyone wants to be rich, to put it simple - money moves people. Money drives a person to move forward, to build up a better future (whether it's for themselves or for their kids, it doesn't matter!). You may put up all sort of excuses saying that i'm working hard right now for my family blah blah blah, but the core of this conversation remains unchanged -- you're driven by money! So let's face this fact, yea, there's nothing wrong with it, and actually, many successful people are being driven by this factor: take Donald Trump for example, take Genting's owner (or more like former owner, i called him Uncle Lim ;p) for instance, they dreamt big, their goal is to be one of the richest people on the planet (well, uncle Lim is in Malaysia alright ~_~), and they dedicated their time, their energy, their life, for their goal. And they made it in the end, that's very good!
So everything is good, let's make money as our ultimate goal, and our jolly good time in the end! So what's the issue here? Well, the problem is, human is not just motivated or driven by money, they're "driven" by money! People... changed, because of money... the same guy that you used to hang around with 10 years ago, might be a totally different person right now, who looks down on you just because he's a penny richer than you! The friend that you used to share all your secrets, your goodies when you're in school time may be the person that you have to watch out because he might backstab you in any moment! These are just some dramatic examples of course, but it's very true, people changed because of money.
I've seen quite a lot of real life examples of how money could change a person. A friend that i used to laugh around with, respect, had now turned into a proud, loud noise idiot who never keep their words; and a once humble, lovable old aunt of mine had been avoiding to see the bunch of us... maybe there're other reasons to it, but money's definitely one of them... can you blame them for the change? Not really... they've worked hard, and now they're harvesting their fruit, they earned their status in the society, so what's wrong with talking a lil' louder? They got more money in their hands now, they need to manage it, they got more things to do, so what's wrong with forgetting about the promises they've made? People around them get easily jealous and some may have said things to offend them, so what's wrong with separating themselve from us?
So who's right? who's wrong? what's right? and what's wrong? Being a rich person, you got the money (definitely), you got the social status, you got big house, big car and a big mouth, but you might loose your friendships... faithful people, honesty... life is probably just a big scam for you... Being a poor person, you got true friends, you're able to find happiness even during the hard time, but you probably got no stand in the society...
So the best solution would probably be that we become a rich person while still remain unchanged! But is that possible? i guess not... Nothing remains unchanged forever, as time goes, things change, people change... and after considering the possible changes, try ask yourself back the same question,
"Do you want to be rich, or poor?" which path will you choose?
take a pick...

Just in case you're wondering, "where the hell is Wilson right now?"

Yallo ma' fwen! It's been awhile ya! Have been very busy lately, "busy with what?" you asked? hohohoho! No worries no worries, let mua show ja!
^^

First 2 weeks of Febuary:
Chinese New Year loh... duh... need me to tell you why i'm busy ka? It's chinese new year, and genius like me don't clean his room till the day before new year wan! So busy loh!
XD
CNY is like... normal loh... go back JB... all the cousins jam up in a small appartment where i lived... noisy... as ever... kepoh... as ever... kacau... as ever... so can't do anything there, basically just slept the whole day then got bully by my cousins (they're all much younger than me, in case you didn't realize)... and visit other relatives... but this year seems to have collected a lot of ang pow y'know! Went visit relatives in Singapore also! First time in my life ~ collected Singapore duit leh! 10bucks become 20bucks, 20bucks become 40bucks! wahahaha! i love the exchange rate man! And this is the first time i step foot into Singapore territory after 18 years, yea, that feels good! Like i've concured the island itself!
~idiot >_>

3rd week of Febuary:
A new member joined my family! No i'm still single and i haven't married AND VERY MUCH AVAILABLE! (~meh ~_~)
I mean a pet dog! :D
A Shih Tzu, the name is Terry, he's ma' new bro 'mon! Only 4 months old ^^, very cute, very naughty, very good boy (yea, i know...what am i talking about?), love following people around... and lie on the floor right behind you... so almost step on him a couple of times already =_=
Very hairy, looks like a carpet on the floor, feels like roll it up like a bolster and use it as my pillow...
=D
too bad... i don't have a girlfriend to show off to... Sad wei~
Taking care of a pet dog is no easy job i must say, have to teach him where to shit... where to eat... and since this is still a puppy... he basically bites everything that he can reach... so have to teach him what he can bites, and what he can't... but overall he's quite obedient! And very lovable little puppy! ^^
And why i suddenly get a pet dog? Don't ask me man, ask my brother and my mom... they suddenly got a dog fever and wanted a dog... so we have Terry right now...
>_>

The rest of the days until now:
Busy... very busy... busy playing with Terry (^.^")... and busy drawing man! Have been drawing none stop since coming back from JB! Almost finish my first comic! Planned to use this comic as my debut! My journey as a manga artist will start with this! Yeah!
But the sad things is... my current job... bos is going to be a blocking wall in my journey soon... they're gonna ask me to work extra... over time... take out of my precious time for drawing...
>.<>
MUST CHANGE JOB! *BUT*
i haven't been touching engineering stuffs for 8 months now... what i've learnt? long gone with the wind... switch to another engineering job? bad... you have no idea how bad it is... it's a bad... bad... bad... BAD idea! Switch to art and design job? bad as well... went through some interviews already... pay too low... NOT only that... working hour... MUCH longer than what i'm doing now!!!
The solution:
none yet... but there's a thought... to give tuition! That should be able to sustain myself if i give enough tuition! Plus my first comic is going to complete soon, and i planned to go full time as a manga artist from now onwards! So there should have some income as well!
So yea, i'm gonna make a leap in my career this time, i'd never expect it to be easy, but i'm gonna move on with this!
Now please allow me to re-introduce myself ~
Wilson, the mangaka (漫画家), at your service!

元日 ( - がんにち - )

It's 2008 already, yet another new beginning, another new adventure... the story of a man fighting for his dream continues...

2007 ended with a peaceful night, thanks to God, thanks to everyone, i'm still alive and in one piece. Many things had happened, happy moments, sad moments, frustrating moments, exciting moments... there are times when i lost track of my goal and whinded up in different paths, forgotten what i'm suppose to do, forgotten who i want to be... lost... but it appears that these misleading paths weren't so misleading after all, i was able to get myself back on track, learning new things in the process, adding spices and colours to my life, meeting new friends and all... and like what i've always said, "life, is good!"

The happiest event occurs in 2007 -- I GRADUATED! All these years of patience and endures had finally come to an end, and i found myself a job as a System Engineer, but what i'm doing is actually designing and coordinating advertisements for our company... so yeah, good for me! ^^
I've heard a lot of comments saying working life is bad, and that you'll be missing your college time and blah blah blah... The moment i miss the most is my secondary school time, college is hell to me! Working life is actually very good y'know, i finally get to do what i want to do, no restrictions, no one there to stop me, though the salary is kinda low, but i'm doing something that i really enjoyed doing, and i'm doing something that'll make me stronger in my pursue of my goal, and most of all, i'm making progression in my journey now! It's hectic, but seeing the progression makes me stronger; it's tiring, but to me, everything is worthy! And with all my friends' supports - i can make it!

Though the saddest thing is that our BU gang is getting smaller nowadays, everyone walks their own different paths now, and it's only occasionally that we get the chance to gather up, to cheer with each other. But like what i've said before, this is only part of life, people come and gather, and when the time's up, each will be going in different directions... we gather occasionally, but it's never the same as before... What i can do right now, is cherish the moment when we're together, appreciate that these people had once stepped into my life, and treasure the friendships that meant so much to me...

WELL, those are the bittersweet part, now is 元日 (gannichi in Japanese), or New Year in English, so let us all start up our engine, and march towards the unknown future! Don't look down, don't look back, just stand straight, stand tall, and march forward!

Happy 2008 my friend, cheer on!
