Nothing is impossible. Now, the world are linked. We are unity and as a whole, right?

Car owner to aware

For you who are a drivers in a running box on the road, scratches & machine not functioning well are the common issues.

Machine breakdowns always happen, especially the local made Milo tin. We are shocked about the selling price and even more shocked from outside to inside of our Milo tin. Technology of making, understand that it is poorer than the others but please, not as poor as what we should see today.

A local made and sell is not "cheap" in price but "cheap" in quality. No need to hit, no need to bang, no need to get accident; just a press from a child can made the tin from outside go to inside.

Well, I'm not planning to discuss on the QC of the running box even I did it up there. Haha...

Not sure that have you all met the situation I had. I remember 3 years ago, when I heard some rough sound from my car brake, I went to the nearest mechanic for brake pad replacement at KL. However, the mechanic told me that I should also change all my 4 brake-discs as it were wearing down or it will crack and break later. To change, it will cost me about RM 1,800.

Luckily I don't have enough money to change at that moment. I went to my mechanic to clarify the brake-discs issue, and he replied there is no such thing of brake-discs broken, even for a car down from Genting and the brake-discs heated till its burning red in colour - it just won't crack and break. FYI, my brake-discs are in good condition until now.

So, why the KL mechanic comes to the conclusion that my brake-discs will be broken?

Recently, my driver side power-window is not functioning when I drove from hometown back to PJ. Well, it spoiled when I was using it. I heard clearly that it is belt snapping sound, and I have the experience to change the belt at past.

Funny thing happen now. I drove my car to one of the PJ mechanics to repair the power-window. It is a miracle. The mechanic have not and never check on my power-window, they straight away told me that I need to change the whole power-window system on that side and it costs RM 200+. What a magic, it sounds like a patient went to a doctor and without any check-up, the doctor can diagnose & straight away giving the medicine to the patient. Maybe I'm the frog under the shell, I didn't know that our technology nowadays are so advance!!

Of course, I told the doctor I will repair it later where I will never & never go back to him.

So, if you are a driver & you own a car, please be aware that, at the world out there are a lot of demons that will threaten or intimidate you just to want to earn your money where they are not supposed to.

Hence, please be mindful of the walk-in mechanic shop.

Maybe Later

Artist: Peter Pan Song Title: Mungkin Nanti
Saatnyaku berkata
Mungkin yang terakhir kalinya
Sudahlah lepaskan semua
Ku yakin inilah waktunya
Mungkin saja kau bukan yang dulu lagi
Mungkin saja rasa itu telah pergi
Dan mungkin bila nanti
Kita kan bertemu lagi
Satu pintaku jangan kau coba
Tanyakan kembali
Rasa yang kutinggal mati
Seperti hari kemarin
Saat semua di sini
Dan bila hatimu termenung
Bangun dari mimpi-mimpimu
Membuka hatimu yang dulu
Cerita saat bersamaku
Mungkin saja kau bukan yang dulu lagi
Mungkin saja rasa itu telah pergi
Dan mungkin bila nanti
Kita kan bertemu lagi
Satu pintaku jangan kau coba
Tanyakan kembali
Rasa yang kutinggal mati
Seperti hari kemarin
Saat semua di sini
Dan mungkin bila nanti
Kita kan bertemu lagi
Satu pintaku jangan kau coba
Tanyakan kembali
Rasa yang kutinggal mati
Seperti hari kemarin
Saat semua di sini
Tak usah kau tanyakan lagi
Simpan untukmu sendiri
Semua sesal yang kau cari
Semua rasa yang kau beri

A nice song to share where it touches my feeling everytime it was played. The song title "Mungkin Nanti" means of "Maybe Later". The lyrics is meant for the past relationship. It said it maybe the last time to talk to you as you have made your mind to leave and end this relationship.

Maybe later both of them may meet up again, but don't even try to retrive the relationship as it is already a history.

I'm agree on the lyrics. In my opinion, a relationship should be made up by both parties; tolerance, forgiving & understanding to maintain the relationship. Maybe I'm wrong, once you have giveup & surrender the relationship, never expect other to accept you again. You have made thousand and one reason to leave, but then why you eat your words?

3D modeling project

Time passing fast, it was a year ago when I created the 3D models for my Uni project. It was a fun subject, I learn a lots especially in the animation history & technology. A 2 hours 3D animation show, it consumed and cost thousand & thousand hours from the planning till final production to movie.



















These two characters are my project model. They are ants. Of course, not so nice compared to the professional animators' works.

Just to create these two characters, it takes me about 2 days. (First time doing this, consider very fast already). Later, these two characters have been 're-generated' many many just like Matrix to incorporate into a series of storyboard.

During the whole process, I feel very happy that we are given the chance to expose to 3D animation. (FYI, I'm the first batch of students who start & having the 3D animation subject & class)

Unfortunately, happy hour ended fast. Just about one month we were hand-ons to the animation. Eventhough it is only a Uni project, but I think there is more & more improvement space that we can do it better.

Software is a magic. The more you practise, the more secrets you can found out. 'There is no one who can 100% fully manage & using a software program even the creator / programmer himself.' This might be true, as more we touch on the program, there are always alternative ways to done up the project especially graphic & animation.

But, do we need to be perfect user since the program itself may also incomplete?

Back to the place I belong...

After the long break about a year...finally, I'm back.

I was searching for a direction to go. But, as been told, just be yourself.

Feeling, knowledge, opinion & many others think & thought comes to the mind, should it be just share? Of course, I think. See you then.
