More random rants - February.

-Blog entry-

So February is here. Sorry I didn't get to post in January. Well, frankly because nothing much was going on.

Neither is the recently-begun February though. But I thought I could take this chance and rant about life and Valentine's day.
A project from last year's work. In case you were wondering, it's a movie count thing, with 1 in the top left, and 4 in the top right. You work out the 2 and 3.

Yes, I'll be spending it alone (from the looks of it). I hold no personal grudge against this hallmark holiday, but it's no big deal, just another day. Wish I was in Japan though as I would still be in high school and hence increasing the chance of receiving chocolate. Or am I getting some kinds of stereotypes wrong? It's just UK that's not big on exchanging. I'm proud to say though, I haven't spent all 18 Valentine's day alone in my life.



A poster work form the last project for a fictional tour of a band. I so wish Skillet would come to the UK though. This is a variation of my final project, which is inverted in black.

Anyway, it's all the same with life. College workload, on the other hand, is piling up like crazy. For ONE of my next assignments I'm gonna have to draw about 500+ frames of stills for animating a music video (part of). We're not required to do it in such a fashion, but I thought a proper anime-styled animation, hand-drawn frame by frame might spice things up, along with my portfolio for the future. Still, an enormous work amount for one person, where I have various other projects on the side.

Just a very small corner of the random-task-based-themed college work pile.
Still, I found time to draw my own things which sometimes, calms me. Here's some finished pieces and sketches.

Revised & heavily referenced pose sketch on your left, and original crap sketch on your right.

A recently finished piece, once that I surprisingly am pleased with.



Also, my friends and I got to talking about customising clothes. Not a big surprising thing, since everyone does it. But how does putting zippers(solely for appearance) on jeans and jackets sound? I was thinking ripping up jeans soles and sewing them together with zippers. Strange? Hmm....

Dying my hair (twice in the last month!!!) red didn't go well. As expected, red doesn't show great on natural black hair. Sad thing is, I've dyed my hair a lighter colour before by myself and it turned out fine, and the same dye I've used in the last month worked on another naturally black-haired friend of mine perfectly! Guess it's just not meant to be. But strangely, when not under bright Sun, my hair does seem a bit purple-ish now.

Although no match to OSX and the Mac awesome-looking hardwares,  with a bit of a push, Windows can flare too.


Anyone into Windows skinning or customising? I'm a keen Rainmeter user myself, and changes layouts and skins and wallpaper on a more than twice a week basis. I know, but I like turning on the laptop to something new every week at the least.

So drop by any comments on this lonely blog, and best of February to you all. Until then, peace.

God bless,

Mobile blog attempt! on 'Blogger Droid'

Since I will also be featuring reviews of what I can get my hands on, I might as well try out blogging with apps on my Android phone, meanwhile reviewing the app, phone, and see how the blog will look like.

What's lacking in this app is the thin blogging lines available. The blog content line only expands as you type into the end of the space. If people didn't have a solid QWERTY keyboard like mine I would assume that they won't be able to see more than half the stuff they type, also another why I got this phone I'm using now.

Funnily enough, I could save the trouble and blog on my laptop, which is just in front of me, or just go on the blogger.com. But then again this blog is about everything.

I IZ GIANT LEGO SANTA! MERRY CHRISTMAS?!


BTW I have no idea how the picture uploaded is gonna turn out. If you can see it, it's a Santa made up completely of Lego pieces that was on display during the Christmas period.

Hope I can upload this properly. Until next time, peace.

Self-introduction, and begin the photo blog.

As those of you who don't know, I'm Neo. I'm studying Graphics Design in college (not Uni), and is a keen on drawing and playing guitar. I'm originally from Hong Kong but I've lived in the UK for quite a few years now.

I'm currently 18, for those of you wondering.

The rest of interests are in the about me box. I think. I'm not gonna make the mistake of posting my novel on my blog like before, so I'm turning this into a picture/photo/update blog.

I recently cleaned out and organised my desk for a better workspace, and gave it a little Otaku touch. Come on, who buys awesome stuff on their holidays (holidays to home land, sadly) and not want to show it off, at least in their own room? Below is my current workstation and... where I spend most of my time after college really. For various reasons.

I only have my DC camera with me, so please excuse the bad picture quality!

My desk... which might turn back into a scrap yard in a matter of days.

A closer look at what's on the wall (at the moment). I want more stuff on as time pass, and get a wall shelf. And tile my wall up... Anyone a Haruhi fan here?

Wall otaku stuff + gig tickets.

Evangelion fans? Fans of the original series or movies or both, like myself? These are the movie explanation booklets thing, apparently only obtainable if you went to see the movies in Japan. I got it from the Hong Kong Anime Fest, each from the corresponding year that the movie was out. Evangelion 1.0 and 2.0. A closer look of the insides of these common yet precious booklets in future blog entries.

Pre-movie booklets! I love these. Reviews on them later.

My Nendroid Petit Kyon. He is sort of my desk mascot now. Gotta love his expression. Could you tell what's behind him...?

Nendroid Kyon is looking at you! Or is he...

Last shot of today. A show of the dying man pen-holder that I got as a present last year. Awesome pen-holder if you ask me. Only that the graphics tablet pen is a bit too big for a steady hold. Still...


So, think you know more about me after seeing some of these photos? More blogging to come in the future. stay tuned.

God bless,

New blog, first post!

Happy 2011 everyone! Hello to everyone who is reading this! I'm starting a new blog (leaving my old Xanga one to rot), dedicated to whatever I'll want to talk about. As stated in my blog description, it'll range from Anime to TV talks, gadget talks to desk organisation, and of course, music and everyday experience. I'll appreciate those of you who follows the blog, or solely just taking time to read my ramblings.

I'm still on my way to configuring my blog, to ensure that everyone (including me) has the best experience. That's a lot of big talk from a guy who has little blogging experience on a new blog, but it won't hurt. I intend for this blog to be a photo blog, with talks.

If you're interested in the blog, be sure to keep yourself updated!

P.s. If anyone knows of any interesting blog, be sure to introduce me to them!

God bless,
