Evidently, we got a dude to model for us this time.

Digital painting of my good friend, Elena. So far the response has been largely negative. People say I have made her look fat. Oh well, more birthdays coming up, more practice.

First lesson was pretty good. Now should I still drop it?

I love iMovie ‘09 and its stabilisation feature. This was footage taken from last week’s Pulau Ubin trip with Kader and Calvin.

Amidst all the junk on my desk, it stands tall, silent and strong. Presenting the all new Macbook Pro. This has been for me, a journey spanning 3 years, watching enviously as people around me got their own sleek high end Apple machines while I laboured away at my Windows Vista powered HP Pavilion DV9000. I assured myself that my choice of a PC was a pragmatic one, considering the amount of work I do on Windows as an animator. I was contented, until about the same time last year, a white Macbook came into my life. Sure, it had the most basic specifications an Apple computer could have, but it made me actually enjoy doing work. With its ram upgraded to 4gb, I found myself doing concept art, video editing, compositing, motion graphics and then some on this neat little machine. The only thing I couldn’t do was play games or use any 3D animation software. A year later, here I am staring at this beautiful 15 inch LED glossy display on the new Macbook Pro 2009, while my old Macbook is in the hands of a random buyer off the internets.

So I thought, what the hey, I’ll do a mini review of the Macbook Pro.

It’s been a long time since I posted anything on this blog. But I think this email I received from the NTU Students’ Union deserves to be the first post on my blog in a long while. There were some people who questioned the humour in this email and started a debate on whether polo shirts were a viable piece of clothing in Singapore’s hot climate, until they realised a missing letter. It brightened up my day. I hope it brightens up yours too.
