Fate of this Blog

updated on the about page, where is this blog heading, why I don't give it up even I got only 20 visitors a day.


"I did not expect any visitors to drop by..
20 visitors a day average is very little for those PRO bloggers, but hey, I really, really, really appreciate every single visitors that drop by. On 2010-2011, I totally stopped blogging and stuff (life gets in the way), and during that period, I did realize my creativity dropped (a lot). After college and start working, I eventually became another "lifeless Zombie" or a "Robot". 


After 2 years, coming back to my this blog, I was stocked, this blog is still getting the same amount of visitor it used to and I never did any blog marketing stuff, all I did was just posting some interesting stuff... and that is what motivate myself coming back to posting.


The comeback, 2012 and beyond
I want to come back to be the fun, creative I used to be and get back my soul (sounds serious, but its reallly pretty serious to me). I want to get back to my root, arrange time to do the stuff I love, bboying, photography, making videos and all that, but for the fate of this blog is going to be a little bit different..


This Blog won't be about me, is about the "Creative Inspirations"
Hey, my English is considerably ok but not excellent, what I'm trying to say is that I will post something that inspire your creativity. If you realize, creativity can be inspiration coming from somewhere else, like your photographer, you can get your inspiration from painting, maybe children or animal. I myself when I have a creativity block, I do get inspirations from something else that I'm currently doing. So what I'm trying to do with this blog here will be 90% of the Creative stuff that I find will Inspire you. If I post too much about myself too much, I got nothing much to post about and I don't want to act like I'm a famous blogger or some sort, and what I can do is getting other Inspiring people helping to inspire you.


Would do my best to update this everyday, Happy Blogging to myself and sincerely thank you for having enough patience to read till this far, You are Awesome and Have a Great day :)"

2012 Back to Posting to Keep Myself Sane

Haven't post much stuff on here for ages. Looking back on this blog kinda remind back when I was Uni. Well.. now, already 2nd year after graduation and this could be the most awkward moment a graduate can face in their life, not sure which job to get but after you got a job you won't be sure if that is right for you and all that stuff.

 Been reading heaps of books (2011 I've actually read more books than my college years. As for this year, fortunately for me I know where I want heading now and chose entrepreneurship. I'm sure will face a lot of challenges with business venture but the most challenging thing is my own mind. However, that is what I'm passionate with and actually having quite a lot of fun with it (lucky me).

Well, enough about that. So, I'm back to posting, probably this could be the place to keep me "sane", to chill and to remind who I was in the beginning. Things I'm going to post might be as random as before, however, definitely better quality and all that. I guess thats enough for now, let's see what's going to happen. Peace!

My first short film, "Karma - This is a Loop"

This is my first short film ever. I want to create a story that able to loop endlessly and my personal life experience which gave me the inspiration of this storyline.

What goes around comes back around, no matter what you did is good or bad, everything will come back after a cycle. In this video, the loop can be endless but I cut it to be repeated only half of the loop which I think is sufficient enough for viewers to understand whats going on and what I'm trying to show.

Also, for this project I wanted to try 3d software and also use after effects on real life footages because I'm really crap on this 2 softwares :)

As for karma, this is just my own personal believe and do not meant start any religious views clash thingy.

My first time on Lighting Writing Animation!

I'm always a fan of light writing, I used to post a lot of Lichtfaktor and Pika Pikas' work on my blog. Last night, I tried lighting writing ANIMATION, gosh, it takes tremendous effort for a 6 seconds footage. I did 'FAKE' lighting writing before using After effects which takes a lot of time as well, but the difference is you seating on your comfortable chair while the "photography stop motion light writing animation (which I call the real light writing)" I have to move the equipments, spending time in the cold, animate everything frame by frame. Anyway, I'm not complaining and the outcome is really satisfying!

Actually I did this for my Uni elective units project called "Text".I wanted to use AE and make a similar one to what I did before, but think of it, this is a good chance to get my lazy arse outside the comfort zone and try something new. Not sure how the whole video would look like but I'm sure it's gonna be great!(at least for me).I would update more on how and what did it used for this project soon.

Also, Thanks Myoung for helping me out or else I would have to spend 6 hours for a 6 seconds footage :)

This is my "FAKE" light writing video.

BBoys in Fukuoka, Japan

One month in Fukuoka I've been training with these guys almost everyday. I reached Fukuoka with a really really bad Japanese, but.. we speak bboying. The bboys there were just so friendly compare to other bboys in most Asian countries and they tried to talk to me and all that. Patrick, a German trickster that I met at the language school was amazed how friendly Bboys culture is. BBoying is the best icebreaker is pretty much true, we do get aggressive on the floor but most of us are cool other time.

I filmed this video on the last day before I left Fukuoka, well, not all of them let me film, Japanese people are just shy. Anyhow I was still able to capture some pretty good shots of the bboys. Big respect to Hakata Bboys, and Taichan Roc (Japan old school, 36 still rockin fresh)

and oh, i learnt this japanese greetings "O Tsu Ka Re Sa Ma De su", have to say this everytime I leave. Hard to translate this to English lol

**For the bboys who looking for a training spot in Fukuoka, goto Hakata Station's underground shops from 9pm.

Snowboarding, new passion?!

Been living in a country that having a temperature around 32 degree for the whole year, what can be happier for me to enjoy the snow and freezing my ass off? My Japanese bother Masa is a really dope snowboarder, but I haven't seen him showing much skills because he have to wait for me because I'm slow and that was my very first time to do snowboarding. Guess what, after one hour lesson from Masa, I were able to reach the bottom of the hill without landing on my ass which made me really proud and I was like "Im hell talented!".

Anyway, before we went for snowboarding, I was thinking what sort of video I can get from snowboarding? So, I came thru a video by Provo brothers video on Vimeo, got inspired and copy that idea and flip it.. a bit. You can call me a biter(bboy term) if you want, well, just having fun, dont have to be so serious! :)
Enjoy the video!



and.. some words for Masa, thanks a lot bro!!! Love ya!!

Relax, watch and listen

I've been wanting to try this in Japan but I failed few times because the owner of Japanese sushi bars just wont allow me to do so. I was inspired by Dennis Wheatley's video in vimeo, which he basicly did the same thing. I found the exact same Sushi bar in Tokyo, but I was rejected by the staff... probably I shouldn't have ask them. Well, I actually gave up to make this video but I passed by a sushi bar in Malaysia and I was thinking why don't I just give it a try?

The result.. lack of some feeling, the Japanese feeling, but I'm still happy with it because I still able make a video on sushi train. :)

As suggested, when you watch this video, try to relax, and then watch and listen.

Finding my purpose

Flying, flying and flying.. Well, some people get sick of it but i started to enjoy it, a lot. I Have been flying for the past few months and now, finally, settle down again, well, not completely, because still got lots of stuff to unpack, Thats the part I don't enjoy the most for travelling, pack and unpack.

Well, now I have some time to Blog, I don't really enjoy blogging you see, I got too many stuff I want to learn, to practise, to see, to experience, whatever it is. I'm just lazy to post something, but why am I still blogging, I dont know lol. To show or market my work? I'm neither professional photographer, videographer, dancer or dj.. still a student, and yep..

I'm final year student, thats why I'm lost, don't know what path I'm going to choose for my future. Just like this blog, this blog don't have much direction as you can see, I like to put lots of crap into this blog (as long as I found interesting). Recall back to two years ago, I dont really know why I started this blog. I think I just think it was 'cool' to have a blog, just like my other hobbies, I did it because I think its cool, and after I get more into them, it's more than just being 'cool'.

So.. I dont know, I still dont know why I blog, I'll keep blogging if possible, show off some work and posting up some craps lol.

Anyway, heres some of the photos i took during my adventure in Japan. There would be more videos coming.

City Tour with the school in Fukuoka

Just suddenly feels like making this video during the tour with my school. was a pretty good trip and an opportunity to meet some new friends and train my Japanese, although I don't talk much. I decided to make this video after the lunch, so I missed a lot of filming chance while in another spots. The footage is very shaky, should have bring my tripod along.

Was a bit sad when I first uploaded it and I got a 1 star for this video... 1 star!! lol, thats the worse rating I ever got, yeh, I know its crap tho(shaky, not bboying, blablabla). But only worth 1 star does made me upset for a second. Well, that motivated gotta learn and practise more, never gonna give up!! lol

shot by: Nikon d90, 50mm f1.8 edited using sony vegas 9.0a

oh yeh, but the school likes it a lot tho. so.. Worth it. Also, the girl at the thumbnail display is cute! lol

Merry Xmas!! my light writing that havent practise for ages

Its boxing day today, and i didnt update this blog for ages! i even missed to post on christmas day. by the way these are some whack light writing I did few days ago. These 2 are the best already among all (draft), took me one hour to remember how to i did it last time and the camera settings. Hope you like it :D





some tips for the light writing here is that you don't really need a different kind or different colour of leds/torch. Just use one led torch and cover it with a cloth that you want, and i used green and red tee to make the colors.( original led color was white)

Sydney Photos

Money that came out from no where.. the scholarship from heaven?

I am a real broke kid few days ago(spent too much on records and shoes), until yesterday.. i got extra $700 in my account that came out from no where! and i double checked today theres no transaction recorded in my account. I think the first thing normally people will do when they realize they have extra money in their account is withdraw all the cash!! I never had this much cash notes since a while! LOL

so... if i could spend that money how should i spend it...? i think ill just keep it for surviving this few months

my puma suede collection

The other day I took all my puma suedes out from the boxes.. wow, i didnt realise that i actually got that many pairs already.(its very little compare lots of nike af1 freaks out there). Im have stop collecting since few months ago, gone really broke right as i gotta save more for my travelling soon. What a journey that i had hunt and bid over the internet and waiting them to arrive Australia, and those Puma suede mids cost me heaps and im very proud to own them, they are my favourite of all.

heres the photos the other i showing off in bboyworld.com, but i didnt get them laced properly tho

Update

Had been three weeks since i last update this blog. Well, I have been staying in Melbourne for 2 or more weeks for holidays and I don't wanna stay in my room because when you are alone you would think heaps of stuff, good or bad. When personal and life problems come together, theres very little chance for you to think 'positively' at that moment. Worrying just making more worries.

so yea, i decide to stay at Melbourne because most of my hometown friends are there. they are so many till I could randomly meet them in the city without telling them 'Im coming'. I had a pretty good time over there, going for trips, get some good foods, digging around the record stores, bboying.

heres some random pic

Space Music!

Shave that stupid hair! Its a new life!
