A post that is not about insulting Windows or Bill Gates. A break for you Mr. Gates.

Went for the class BBQ at East Cost last night. Was raining in the afternoon, so wondered if the BBQ would be cancelled, but just went anyway. Met Sky at Cityhall, and went to Bedok int, where we waited for a bus that never came. Stupid SBS bus 401, operates only on the weekends. We waited there for an hour, looking like a fool. Took a cab in the end. 

Reached the BBQ pit to find no one except Esther and gang. And the BBQ pit was abit small, there was 50+of us sharing 2 pits. Set up the charcoal, and had tried to fan the flames with this giant styrofoam board. In the end, after 1 hour, finally I was BBQing satay... 

Too hungry to wait, shared the cold but spicy otak with sky and amin. And wacked the raw salmon. Which tasted extremely sour. Not fresh? Got a strong stomach anyway. People always call me a dumpster anyway, anything can go in.

Mutton steak, took too damn long to cook, so wacked it while it was medium rare?? The fats were like rubber, spat it out in the end.

And there were these sausages, and it was spelt as chicken chickulata.. which I think is chicken penis? But tasted nice anyway.  :) 

Drinks were all gone by the time I felt thirsty, so headed to Macs to buy a drink. Then half an hr later, felt like going home, cause nobody wanted to open up the rest of the food, so we were like eating satay, mutton steak, chicken wings, and the otak. 

Coming Monday there's gonna be another BBQ at moberly. Hope its gonna be better. 

Marshmallows  :D

P/S, Bill Gates you suck.

I think I should stop insulting Bill Gates already. And should thank him instead.

Because of Bill Gates, he created Windows, and many people are using this OS. 

So, without Bill Gates, there wouldn't be Windows. And without Windows, there wouldn't be PCs. And without PCs, my MacBook would just be an ordinary laptop. 

If my MacBook was just an ordinary laptop, people would just say: "oh you have a black macbook, I have a white one."

But compare it with this statement, which was made by some of my classmates; "Oh wow! MacBook! So nice! How much did you buy it for? Wah, damn fast leh." And so on..

So, thank you Bill Gates, for creating Windows. And please come up with a 'better' OS soon. Like VISHIT.

I'm not the only one. Go Mac, and you'll never go back.

I'm going to make a movie. Its called Kill Bill 3: Bill Gates eats shit and dies. (Parental Guidance is strongly advised, PC users are not advised to watch, esp pregnant women and the elderly, in case of sudden fits or heart attacks.)

So many crazy customers today. All infected by trojan viruses from using their damn PCs. 

One of them called the hotline, and talked like she was my boss.

"I want to watch Marley And Me. Got wad time?"

"That show is not out yet. 26th Feb."

"Why never show? I want to watch!"

"Because 26th Feb then its released. Like it or not. Its the same elsewhere."

"Who is the one who gave the instruction to release it on the 26th? If you don't show it, I'm going to stop all the movies from coming to Singapore. Who is in charge of this movie?!"

At this point, I realised that she was mentally retarded or living in another country. So I replied: "Your mama." And hung up the phone. 

Case closed.

Case 2:

This young couple wanted to watch Underworld which was M18. And they were tried bluffing me that they were 18. By showing their sec school EZ link card. Retain for 2 years in sec school? Must be a complete retard. And so like all crazy customers they started to kao pei.

"Please lah close 1 eye. No one know one."

"But if u get caught I have to do a refund for you. And that means I have to pay out of my own pocket, and I dont want to pay."

"Won get caught one, if caught you dont have to pay."

"Ya, you will get caught cuz they will check the age limit. And I dont want to pay just so that you can watch a movie."

"ok sorry." And they walked away.

Case 2 closed.

So many crazed people out there. Damn suay I kena so many today.

I just killed myself during critique today. As a result, received lots of negative comments from my lecturers. Here's a summary of the comments I received.

Positive Comments:

1. Remarkable improvement over the last few terms. i.e workmanship and concept ideas
2. very hardworking - stayed back everyday till 9pm
3. Interesting Design
4. Good 3D computer skills
5. Good animated walkthrough

Negative Comments:

1. "you dont seem to like your client"
2. Good presentation board, but pictures too small
3. Presentation structure was jumbled up
4. AutoCAD rendering is not detailed.
5. "you like to critique yourself, give yourself negative comments"

So. Critique's over, and I'm going to the class BBQ next thursday!

Oh my, do Windows really suck. I cant even access my hotmail account, which is powered by that farking windows of course. Is there anything that Microsoft has created that works? At all? 

Apple should come up with their own email account system and IM. 

Everyone in Microsoft should be considered a cyber-terrorist. Esp that shitbag Bill. Shove a apple tree up his candy ass.

Submitted Intech wall today, and all is left is critique next Monday. Still have to think of how to present my design. ... 

After submission went to funan with Timonthy to get his new camera. Thank God he bought a Canon this time, not some screwed up Samsung, which sucks, but not as much as a Windows based PC. I HATE windows lah.

Then watched Underworld 3, which was quite nice, doesn't suck as much as a windows based PC. Did I just say that? I'll say it again. Windows suck. There. 

Checked the price for the Nikon D80, cause I realised my Nikon D60 was a real handicapper, with no in built AF motor and only 3 AF points, it sucks, but not as much as a Windows based PC. But well, my Nikon D60 works fine. Not like a windows based PC which DOESN'T work. 

Tired, gonna sleep now, but I'll wake up. Not like a windows based PC, where you have to take it to a service centre to wake it up. Or a wack on the hard drive works fine. 

Suck it Windows.

Had a hard time convincing friends in the studio why windows suck. And I really got on their nerves by insulting windows every time something goes wrong. Like when their A1 board is really blur and full of pixels, I blame their windows based PC. When they render VIZ slowly, I blame their damn PCs too. 

But its true. Timonthy's Acer took half an hour to render a 200 frame walkthrough.

Mine too 20min to render a 500 frame walkthrough. And Timonthy's Acer has a dedicated graphics card, and my Mac doesn't. 

Timonthy's Acer hang and died 4 times when he badly needed to extract a file. My Mac was ready to tango in 34 seconds.

Sky's HP took 10 min to open a photoshop file. The same file took less than a min to open on my Mac. 

Thats MORE than a reason to HATE windows.

I'm not a Apple fanboy. Just a hardcore anti-windows normal boy. 

Submission is finally over, well, not for the Int. Tech wall though, which is due on Monday cuz too many people couldn't finish their assignments. Critique's on 19th, Thursday. Which I am not looking forward to. After that, the whole int. design would be going for a BBQ at ECP, and the best thing is that its free. Maybe cuz our lecturers feel sorry for us for having to spend so much money on our materials. But i spent about less than $150? 

Okay, so work is done. All thats left is to catch up on movies. :)

Today we had the last lecture conducted by Kelly for year 1, which is kinda sucky, cuz all my tutors are great. Except for some. But they're great. And too bad they can't teach us in year 2. Which sucks. 

And we had this exercise, on what we thought Int. Design is about. We had a similar exercise back in term 1, were we wrote down literally what Int. Design was about: decorating a room. Which is bullshit. Its more than that. Its redefining a space. 

So today I wrote what I thought of Int. Desgin, after 1 year. 

Int. Design is about:

• anyhow wack, and then bullshit your way through.
• full of surprises. with what you can create by wacking, and how good you are at bullshitting when you actually pass.
• model making, using CAD software, having our journal of our thoughts, and having to re-do all of them if we make a mistake.
• FUN.  :D

And something I actually learnt:

• thinking outside the box, on how to recreate the inside of a box.

Damn, the year passed so quickly. I'm starting to miss year 1.

Poly life is great. Treasure the remaining 2 more years.

Completed:

Mood box

Shophouse

TOD Journal

AutoVIZ rendering scenes 

To do:

A1 presentation board

AutoCAD drawings

AutoVIZ walkthrough

Int. Tech wall

Sleep.

GEMS test this friday.
