Finally semester come to an end, and its time to evaluate student's work.

I did say you can use table, if there is a very complicated structure which is hard to develop using 'div'. (assignment brief have clearly stated "tableless")

And not constructing "THE ENTIRE WEBSITE" using "TABLE"!!!

7 seconds of tvc purely focus on window 7 new features. (without pinpointing competitors) Finally end with, "I'm a PC..." - you know what i mean :-D

2009-10-24T07:00:00.000-07:00

Microsoft have launch a series of tvcs focusing on the Window 7 new features, telling the world that "Hey, we listen to your feedback :-) and as the result, window 7 is born". It is a very smart approach as Window Vista seems to be an OS that have plenty of complaints.

Pahit getir hidup dan pengorbanan
Terpaksa dihadapi demi kejayaan
Terdidik sejak mula tabah berusaha
Tanpa cuba melangkah tak kemana
Di mana kau berada
Pencapaian tak tiba dengan mudah

Hanyalah selangkah dari nyata
Keazaman membara dijiwa
Menanti saat bebas merdeka
Tiba masa kau melangkah gagah
Bersemangat ke arah matlamat sedaya-upaya
Engkau terunggul
Wajar "Standing In The Eyes Of The World"

Harapan yang pernah terkulai layu
Kembali segar mekar bawah bayanganmu
Setiap manusia ingin berjaya
Namun tak semua miliki tuah
Engkau menghampirinya
Kesempatan telah pun tiba...

Comic Blog

2009-07-05T00:34:00.000-07:00

Comic blog seems to be a trend these day and getting a lot of attention from the viewers. Especially the Emoticon (Emotion icon) created by them have been widely use on the Messenger. For example, I'm sure you all should know:

"Onion"

One very successful comic blog example is

"彎彎" (Wan Wan)
from Taiwan. Starting from a very simple blog, the author extended her fame to graphic novel, tvc and even tv shows.

年代新聞人物專訪特輯-部落格畫家彎彎

彎彎 in 康熙來了

台灣固網ADSL廣告

You can check out her blog on - Wan Wan's comic blog

Also another one of my favorite comic blog -

毛毛蟲 (hair2)

(I find that we have a lot of things in common, for example - we like to showcase our partner (擺我們的令一半上台).)

Click on the image or here to visit hair2's blog.

Of course not to miss out our local comic blog -

Miao & WafuPafu

You don't need to be an artist or designer to create comic blog. Check out

"The life & Time of Jason Phoon"

He is a PROGRAMMER, but the comic he create is hilarious! Although sometimes or most of the time the comic should be rated as 18sx.

So... let's start drawing! XD

The Last Airbender

2009-07-04T23:26:00.000-07:00

The Last Airbender, is an upcoming 2010 fantasy film written, directed, and produced by M. Night Shyamalan (one of my favorite director who wrote and directed The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable).

The film is adapt from of a famous animated TV series by Nickelodeon - "Avatar: The Last Airbender".The animation series heavily influenced by Asian art, mythology and various martial-arts fighting styles.

The story takes place in a fantasy world that human civilization is divided into four nations: the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Air Nomads, and the Fire Nation. Each nation has the ability to control the element of their nation.

Only the "Avatar" possess the power of controlling the four elements and responsible for maintaining balance of the world.

Also spent some time to check out M. Night Shyamalan's official site. It is pretty interesting.

H1N1 crash course

2009-06-26T19:58:00.000-07:00

Confirmed cases of H1N1 lately is making everyone panic without the right reasons. I may not be a doctor to justify all these, but a close friend of mine who is a qualified pharmacist (please note that 'guai lou's pharmacy concept is 100% different from ours in Malaysia) clarified a few points.

1. The H1N1 now is not the so-called 'original virus' from pigs back in the 1920s. It is an infection circulating around human all these while, just like cough and normal flu around the air.

2. H1N1 is being categorized as a flu, just cause it is indeed just a flu. You know, those normal flu you get when your immune system is unable to fight back the normal flu?

3. As we know, we recover from the normal kinda flu once we get proper medication and recovers. Same goes to H1N1, human are contracted to it cause of the immune system. Once the immune system is boosted and recovered, eventually H1N1 will be gone as well from the system.

4. ONLY people who are immuno-compromised (lack of immunity in their body and unable to fight back contractions), like those with cancer and diabetic face risks in being killed by H1N1.

5. SO GOOD NEWS for normal people like you and me, as long our immune system exists in us (which is and always will be), we will be fine and not freaking die!

6. SOLUTION? H20 and Vitamin C. Lots of it! Take more fluids and 4gm Vitamin C per day. It will definitely boost up your immune system and prevent H1N1 from infecting your system even if someone with H1N1 sneezed directly into your face.

7. Masks don't work! Yes babe, H92 or H99 or whatever masks with canggih-manggih name for it, or how often you wear it even in sleep or kissing your girlfriends. ONLY surgical mask works. Yes, surgical masks. Can you find one?

C'mon guys. Please don't fear something you do not know. Just only because others are panicking, we just follow suit blindly for the heck of it. Typical human nature. I almost got annoyed by people who are just worrying everyday as if they are waiting for the flu to infect them.

If you're not infected by H1N1, live your life normally. If you're a positive H1N1 carrier, live life normally as well. What difference does it make? All you need is some medication and rest, just like when you get a common flu.

Michael Jackson Passed Away!

2009-06-25T16:27:00.000-07:00

OMG, Michael Jackson has died! I overheard the news from through radio this morning. I don't know about you all, but I grew up listening to his song. And I remember I was thrilled the first time I watch his music video "Black and White". This is such a big shock as I heard he is preparing his London Comeback tour in this July...

Student survey

2009-06-20T09:07:00.000-07:00

Aaron's recent blog article "a weird profession called students" makes me recall of a youtube video about student survey (comments/feedback/evaluation on lecturer) in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Hope this will bring laughter to everyone, enjoy!

Also Me and Aaron welcome your feedback on our lecture. But hopefully a constructive one XD

Really cool transition effect on the Röyksopp Music Video- epal. It reminds me of a website - Sofake. Really cool and creative, yet the transition so smooth... errr at that time lar.(around year 2002~2003, makes me feel so old...sob ...) .

Röyksopp

2009-06-20T03:20:00.000-07:00

And so I got to know quite a number of fellas who got hooked to the song used in Deadline: post-it stop motion, including me.

It's by Röyksopp from their 1st album: Melody A.M. and is still a hit in live concerts today. Went searching for its original music video, and it's real hard to look for it and that it's a classic rare.

p/s: Do you think the style of the music video can become a potential Flash Web transition design?

Anyway, here it is:

stop motion: DEADLINE

2009-06-18T03:51:00.000-07:00

3 MONTHS of planning...

4 DAYS of shooting...

6,000++ post-it notes...

...and you're still wondering why pre-production is always important in any forms of projects? =P

JipJap & Chipster-Be a Chipster superstar!

2009-06-04T10:55:00.000-07:00

Why send a plain old ecard when you can send a JibJab Sendables eCard instead? There's a JibJab Sendables eCard for any occasion. Whether it's a Birthday, New Born Baby, Anniversary or just for fun. Instead of a simple static ecard, JibJab Sendables eCard enabled you to send an ecard with a short video featured by you and your friends. Check it out!

Try it out at http://sendables.jibjab.com/

And as for our Malaysian version of Jipjap, check out chipster.com.my for the "Be a Chipster Superstar" Contest.

You might be featured on TV (TV3) and also walk away with prizes like MacBook Air, ipod touch and ipod nano. All you need to do is buy a pack of chipster, get the code inside, upload you and your friends picture to be the actor(s) of the movie provided and finally beg your friend to vote for you. Submission end June 8th 2009, so hurry hurry hurry!

Check out the example which I grab from the gallery:

*The website is crafted by Immerse (where I work) and the video is done by Fly studio (where partially of the video(s) were done by TARC Multimedia students while they were the intern there).
