Should I? Can I?

The reason I choose to rent a room and stay outside is because I no need spend times to travel from home to college everyday, I rather use the times for other purposes like sleeping or assignment. Yet, I can hang out with friends sometimes... But very very unlucky and unfortunately, a robber broke into the house that I'm staying now, TBR this Tuesday and stole my laptop away together with my friend's, total 3 laptops. This is my first time and first experience to encounter this kind of situation after so long I rented a room. And I not even have the chance to say "Goodbye" to my laptop that accompany me less than 2 years.

The first thing in my mind once after laptop was stolen is how I suppose to pass up my assignment this Thursday?! Second, all my designs and assignments from very first semester until now are totally gone. So, how I show my portfolio without any design once I'm going to work? Third, my favorite songs, those photos that have different of memories, every single words that you speak to me, any record between you and me... all disappeared and gone...

No more laptop, nothing that I can do now. The first day is really tiring for me since I woke up early for class that day and go for report to the police until evening. Every night, I found it's really very boring for me doing nothing there. I can't touch up my design that need to submit soon, I can't online to facebook-ing and read your profile or blog again, I can't reach to you even that's just an unreal world.

The next day I woke up, I have no mood and very sleepy. And I don't know how to face my assignment deadline and my lecturer. Suddenly, I was thinking to STOP my study or just WITHDRAW now. I think of this because I don't want to burden my parents to give me money to buy a new laptop now. I rather go out to work again and buy it myself again. Besides, I was thinking of going out for work as a junior designer that can "rebuild" my portfolio again where I can't gain back the quantity that I want from just studying Advance because there are many theories to study instead of design work.

However, there are also some reasons stop me from taking any further action to withdraw from study. First, there is group assignments that I can't just leave up and walked away like that. Next, maybe it's very hard for me to gain a work since I can't show any portfolio during interview. And lastly, is this I REALLY wanted? This is really heavy and hard decision to make because it will changes your life entirely. So, I will hold it until the end of the semester. At least let me finish the group assignment with others and finish the exam...

I can't sleep very well this few days because thinking all of this. Is me thinking too much and too worried about the future? Maybe I should stop thinking of withdraw and keep on studying hard for Advance, then only think about the future? Can I? Should I?

Haiz... I think I need someone's guide again... someone's advice...

Second week of AGD1

Monday translation class is always fun like Miss Tan asked us to find out the slogan or anything wrote in English and BM version last week and share your opinion about the translation is whether good or bad during the class. And there is 1 really funny when D4's Eng Soon wrote the Nike's slogan, "Just Do It" with the translation in BM, "Buat Sahajalah". Teacher asked where he get the translation, he answered he got it from his friend own translation. Then, the whole class laughed include Miss Tan. Hahaha... well, the fact is the Nike slogan still remain as "Just Do It" in all the language versions and this is where we should pay attention to and don't simply translate it directly because you might end up lose your job in future. So, translation for me has become a quite challenging subject yet it's quite fun too. And 1 more thing that amaze me is Miss Tan's memory. She's always well prepared when comes to class and I think she had memorized all the big company's slogans in English and BM version. Woah~ what a good memory with her age now... hahaha... ^^

Tuesday was the fisrt lecture of Communication Research Method. And the class really makes me want to get crazy all suddenly because it's a theory class. I really hate theory especially a format of anything that need us to follow it exactly. Hate it... When the lecturer was keep on saying and explaining the format, my mind suddenly was "over-thinking". What I mean by "over-thinking" here is my mind comes out with some kind of resistance that keep blocking everything the lecturer said and keep on asking why I should learn this subject. As what Edwin said previously, this subject is learned to guide us for thesis writing in UK. But let's think further and farer, is it benefit us when we come out to work as graphic designer? Unfortunately the answer would be no. If a company is looking for someone to serve them an annual report or speech for presentation, definitely they will look for public relation or journalism graduate. Impossible for them to hire a graphic designer to write them a news, right? So, I totally pay no attention to the lecture.

Oh yah... after Edwin's tutorial that day, Yan Wei and Joanne went to ask Edwin for something. And this is what I heard from them, our diploma certificate is stated as "Diploma In Mass Communication" but after 2 years it will be changed to "Diploma in Graphic Design" which means the syllabus will be more focus specifically on graphic design instead of mass communication. Woah~ should I happy or sad? Happy is TARC finally has Diploma in Graphic Design instead of mass communication that we can no need to learn non-graphic design subjects. Sad is there will only happen after 2 years PERHAPS... Haiz... too bad I had already graduated that time...

Comes to Thursday, there is also another theory lecture which is Communication Theories on 8am somemore. But LUCKILY the lecturer makes the whole lecture a bit interesting and funny, or else I think I won't pay attention to it neither. After the lecture will be Edwin's practical class, and we are given assignment finally. We are requested to use the pictogram to form a story. In the same time, he also suggest us a few ways to improve our portfolio and to make whole the assignment look tidy and great. I really appreciate his suggestions and what I need to do now is be more hardworking and more passionate to all the works.

Well, that's all I want to share about this week. And after I been through this 2 weeks, I realize that the relationship between each other is still remain as their own group during Diploma. D1 stick with D1, D2 with D2...... is there a way that make us stick closely to each other? Erm... that day also heard Edwin said maybe want to seperate into 2 class since unexpected that many students. What to say??

The First Week of AGD1

The new semester of Advance Diploma in Graphic Design(AGD1) had started on this Monday. It will be another new begining for those who further their study at TARC again. Well, I guess that's only 5 persons from our class are going to study this time. Anyway, do your best and good luck to you all who is going to study at other college soon and also to those went for work. I will always miss you guys!!

After this few day classes, I just found out that there are 3 theory classes out of 4 subjects. Haiz... theory again and there are 3 somemore! What a most pity thing for SSSH students to study theory and especially we're the GRAPHIC DESIGNERS. Well, we don't have a choice but just accept whatever it offers because we are TARCIAN, learn many compare with other professional college in Mass Comm field.

Erm... after see the time table, I think the Communication Theories and Communication Research Methods are not an easy subject. As what you can see from the title subject, we need learn those theories and research method about an issue. We may requested to write a long report or you can call it in professional way, the thesis. And from what we heard from Edwin said, this subject is offered to us is to teach us the thesis base so we can prepare the thesis well when further study oversea. Erm... so, we can't change the fact and just hoping the lecturer and tutor are good in teaching...

For Edwin's class, Infographic, where the designer need to design the icon, symbol or a plate to give the info to public. So, this subject is the only design subject for this semester and it will be interesting too. And before the class really started, he just asked us "Why you want to take Advance?" with his funny smiling face. Haha... for me, I'm taking Advance is to further my knowledge not only the design skills but also to find out the way of generate the idea from study.I also looking toward for learning some new design softwares like Flash and Dreamweaver that contribute to web page design which is quite basic requirement for a graphic designer. And of course another common reason of continue Advance at TARC is C-H-E-A-P CHEAP~ or you can say it in a better way, affordable. Hahaha...

Another subject for the sem will be Translation and Graphic Design. Erm... this subject is totally do with language and is all about translation. And the lecturer remind me of something, "Money is not everything but everything is about money" and "You can't change the pass and control the future but what can do is now" Erm... what she said is really true and always stick to it. Anyway, I just want to tell you that this subject is not that easy but it makes a lot of funny stuff when comes to literal translate. So, it will be fun even though it will be a little tricky. Haha... I quite like it and hope the coming assignment is just fine.

Erm... this is all I want to post about this week. Now I feel a little tired and sleepy because of looking for room to rent and it has been settled. Now just wait for assignment and start again... my college life...

Happy Holiday

Just a few months left before we graduate. Had you guys have any plan after graduate? Well, I think some of them had done a really good planning for their future, right? Hehe... and for those who haven't think of it yet, don't panic and lost your direction. Just focus on what you can do or change right now before you go on for your future. If you would like to change, please take some minutes to think of 1 question or try to ask yourself, "Are you really willingly to change yourself before to let others change for you?"

Well, I hope every thing will be going fine for the next semester and have a cordial working relationship. And now, just enjoy the holiday first. Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Valentines and Happy Holiday~ ^^

The taxi driver

Sorry, guys... it's been a while for me haven't update my blog once after back from Terengganu because I was quite busy with some assignments that require full concentration for it, a t-shirt design for a competition... however, I will try to blog about the Terengganu trip IF I have the time to settle with the photo uploading problems...

Well, these few days actually did happened a lot of things but now I really want to talk about what I had experienced today inside the taxi in the way from Dasein to the Wangsa Maju LRT Station.........

The taxi driver is an older chinese adult with around 40+ ages I guess... after we enter the taxi and See Hwai told him our destination, he just asked us back of which way we want to take to reach the LRT station... of course we want to take the shortest way but we haven't reply him in time, he just keep saying that we are mute in Cantonese and Mandarin all the way to the station... and asked us this and that until we really don't want to speak with him because we are really tired after attend the whole day class especially just finish the Mass Media Law tutorial... and I'm the one most unluckly because I sat the front seat which next to the driver... I just endured with those noise that made by the uncle until something funny happen......

See Hwai suddenly spoke up with Mandarin and made a really funny story that really surprised us... she just told the uncle that we all are English educated since we were young, we all speak English to each other include to our parents all the times, our grandpa and grandma are also English educated and even the father of our grandpa is also English educated too... (公公的爸爸妈妈也是讲英文的) Ee Kim, Chin Eng and me were there to bear with what See Hwai said but actually we really want to laugh at that time... and the story haven't end yet until the uncle keep asking her with different questions:

Uncle: 你们不会讲话的吗?哑巴的吗?你们不是华人不会讲华语还是广东话吗?
See: 我们全部讲英文长大的,跟爸爸妈妈也是讲英文的。公公婆婆也是讲英文的。
Ee Kim, Chin Eng & me: !!
Uncle: 哦,你们真的不会讲华语的吗?
See: 他们不是不会讲,只是怕讲的不准罢了。前面那个是混血儿来的,他的公公的爸爸妈妈也是讲英文的。
Ee Kim, Chin Eng & me: !!!
Uncle: 你们是学生吗?读拉曼的,是吗?
See: 哦,我们只有一个是读拉曼的,他就是还在那里学着华语...
Ee Kim, Chin Eng & me: !!!!
Uncle: 噢,我还以为你们真的是哑巴,不会讲话的... 不会讲,可以慢慢学...
Ee Kim, Chin Eng & me: =.=

I think the conversation was about like that... and what is in my mind that time is:“Walao...未免太扯了吧。什么公公的爸爸妈妈也是讲英文的,还有什么混血儿?好假... =.=”And this is my very first time that I saw See Hwai has that kind talent of making story, what a "good" story maker...and I also really "admire" See Hwai of her courage and dare to say somethings that are fake with a blink of eyes... hahaha... but it seems like the uncle really believe to what See Hwai bluff... what should I say, how fool of that uncle? Anyway, I don't wish to see this kind of taxi driver again because for me, he looks doesn't have any respect at all... how disappointed...

Well, that's all I want to share with you all about funny story in the taxi today... if you would like to ask more detail, maybe you can ask Chin Eng to act it out... because it's really very funny... hahaha....

Preparation to Terengganu

Class just end so quickly today... because we were just asked to show our idea development for T-shirt design to our tutor... that's it... but most of our works were rejected and need to improve more... so, I decided to redraw again based on what tutor told us this morning: simple but unique, do more research, creative without based on something and rational... great... finally know what exactly the tutor ask for...

After the class, I was going to Public Bank at Genting Kelang to pay the school fee with Mervin, Wei Lyn, Chin Eng and Hanz... but unfortunately the system down when Wei Lyn and me made the payment... haiz... so bad luck and stupid system... >.<

So, we went for our lunch at there as well... I order the same food with Wei Lyn as she recommended to me and Chin Eng, Mushroom Chicken Soup... well, it really tasted good especially the soup really made me full... then, we're having our conversation again and this time was talking about some "weird" things that are quite embarrassed... I really don't have idea of how to intervene in this kind of topic at these public places... >////////< and sometimes I also not really understand with what they actually talking about and if I say something wrong... they will definitely laugh... so, I think I better keep quiet there and just listen to them... =.=

We were scared by the cloudy day that time and so we decided to go home after a long "weird" conversation there... and tomorrow we will depart to Terengganu... so, I'm now bothered with what should I bring for this vacation... luckily Mervin's house provide us some stuffs, so it really help us a lot... really thanks to Mervin ^^ Well, today need to sleep early so can wake up tomorrow early too... haha... really can't wait for it... hehehe... good night and have a sweet dream, everyone~

2009/10/14

Going To Terengganu~

Today's first class is Mass Media Law... the only subject that make me quite blur and can't fully understand it at all even I try to concentrate and listen to the class for 2 hours... quite disppointed... I hope the tutor can help me to solve the problems... or otherwise I will face a really serious matter... >.<

Then, we are briefed by our Marketing tutor for our group assignment... erm.... I think this assignment shouldn't be a problem for us since we had done almost the same stuff with advertising last semester... but, however I'm still confused with some part of the assignment and we haven't decide our group yet... this is the major trouble that we're all facing now... haiz... don't know how...

This semester we're going to study about Malaysia Culture too... and today is the first tutorial class... for us as graphic designer, we just think this subject is really done nothing with our course but still we need to learn more about our culture because we're Malaysian... anyway, today's class is quite fun for me and hope I able to do well in every presentation with enough preparation... hehehe...^^

Oh yah... there is also something that very funny happen today too... the bookseller just mess up himself by free us 1 more set of statute book and money too... this is my fisrt time having this kind of situation... what can I say... so lucky~ hahaha... I thought my friends will return the extra books and money back to the bookseller... however we didn't do so but we just distributed the extra money to ourselves and sell the extra set of book to another friend... hahaha... see, how bad we are for not being honest... hahaha.... XD

Next, I would like to say that I had made a decision that might shocked my parents and even myself today... which is I'm going to Mervin's house at Terengganu for 3 days... I really wonder what if I tell my parents later and what will be their expression... hahaha... because this is my first time going some place that far without my parents or auntie or uncle's care with my friends... anyway, I will take it as a challenge to take good care of myself at a unfamiliar place... and of course I will fully enjoy with my friends and take a lot of pictures too... hehe... XD

Well, tell you the truth, I'm now a little bit nervous and excited for this weekend's planning... hehehe...^^

"Again" ^^

Yesterday... I was very happy to see all the D5 students appear in the class finally... especially Mervin and Park Mun... since we had done a lot of assignments together from last last semester... ^^ and the class we attended today was quite fun and meaningful for me... because I'm going to learn some I think is useful to me from Packaging Design and a "funny" tutor for Mass Media Law class... and we are given assignments start from this week and I really hope that we all can improve ourselves and done better than last assignments with cooperation from each other of course... ^^ hahaha...

Yesterday... went to Jusco again... I had been to Jusco 3 times within 4 days... hahaha... what a Jusco Lover... well, the main purpose for this time is actually to help Mervin to look for new shoes that suit him... we had been through a lot of shops and finally we had found a shoe that has quite similar color with Shu Ping's shoe... hahaha... the color of the shoe really attractive and striking with light orange color... I also quite like it because of the shinning things... ^^

Then, we were having our tea break at Old Town and we also went to Fun Zone again to enjoy the games... This time, we all played the basketball and I just scored 86... hahaha... I did improve from the last time I played it... but I really admired with Ryan because he scored 439... really "pro" and Wei Lyn not bad too because she also did it better than mine... hahaha... I really wish to play it again next time... ^^ Next, we were hanging around inside the MPH bookstore for the rest of time before dinner... and I think we were the only group that speak so loud upstair of the bookstore but luckily most people are Malays... so, they didn't understand what we were chatting there... hahaha...

Soon 7pm... it was time for our dinner and we also invited Shu Ping, Siew Fang, Hanz and Shi Rui to join with us... and the place was 黄色店... again... hahaha... that time, we can imagine Siew Fang's expression once after she heard from Shu Ping for having dinner at 黄色店 "AGAIN" although we were in different place... hahaha... but this time some of us decided to eat Bak Ku Teh... so, it did different from yesterday... ^^

After having dinner, 8 of us just sat there and chatted with many different topics... and it was really very funny... we were chatting from planning for the coming holidays to group assignments, from group assignments to the funny tutor, from funny tutor to drama, from drama to different types of "banana", from the "banana" to many other topics again... I was just listening to them and laughing all the times until my stomachache... hahaha... well, I really enjoyed this kind of conversation and it reminds me what happened after we had our steamboot at Shu Ping's house and having such type of conversation inside her room together... I was really enjoying it and I also think that we were the only group that making so much noise over there... again... hahaha... well, this is how D5 always be~ and I really like it... ^^

Time just passed so fast, we had chatted for about 1 hour there but still no result yet for the holiday plan and division of group... hahaha... nevermind... so, we can have this kind of conversation "again" for next time, right? hahaha... ^^

2009/10/12

School Day...

First day of second week for the school... the class is starting on 4pm, so I decide to wake up at around 2pm but however I try to force myself to wake up earlier because I think if I keep wake up this late, I will become a very very lazy person... because almost everyday I sleep on 3am and wake up on 2pm during the weekend... haiz... I think my lazyness is back again since during the holiday... ahhh.... I don't want to be like this..... can someone stop me from become a lazy guy? XD

Today's class is quite normal as usual but still I miss some of my friend that haven't show up their face since the semester start especially someone again... >.< Soon, we have our new assignment to start this week and so I won't be so bored again... hahaha... need to thanks the lecturer, I think... ^^''

After the class, I just follow Chin Eng to look for some magazines at Wangsa Maju and then we proceed to Jusco to buy some stuff. But something happened on the way to Jusco... I was asked by a lady to support their handcraft by just give her my name... the lady also said that's not a money donation but just a supporting for their handcraft... and so I just trust what she said and sign up my name in the form... but.................... she showed me a handcraft with the price RM30 one and RM50 for 2...... the first thing came into my mind was =.= "我受骗了" I had been cheated... again! Fine... I just "buy" 1 for RM30 to "support" their handcraft so I can escape faster... and I was really regret about it... haiz.... very very pain and sad for my RM30 just for a little little box... next time, I really hope there is someone can save me from this kind of people so I won't be so upset for my money again.... T-T

Well, inadvertently both of us meet up with Wei Lyn, Siew Fang and Shu Ping in the Jusco... So, we all walk around together to buy food, snacks, milk, detergen, drinks, etc etc...... And we end up at the Yellow Store (黄色店)to have our dinner... for me, it's my lunch actually... hahaha.... and I wonder why they called the stall as 黄色店... maybe the canopy they used is yellow color? Whatever... I just enjoy my dinner with them and I think the price is worth for what we had... just the food a little unsatisfied...

Well, that's all for today and I'm happy for able to see Mervin and the rest tomorrow... hehe... ^^

好想再去玩~

最近这几天上课还蛮不错的
但还是觉得有点孤独的感觉
或许是班上的人还没到齐吧
也想再次跟朋友一起出去玩
尤其是Mervin和维玲两个人
因为假期前我们都一起去玩
所以我到现在还没完全进入读书状态
好想再找一天跟大家一起去
尤其是Ee Kim、诗慧、秀芳、燕薇等人
因为都不曾跟她们一起娱乐一下
所以想跟大家留下美好的回忆
哪怕是那么的短暂
但却是那么值得留恋的
因为我很想把大家每一位都永远记着啊

给某人的话:"Don't think too much"是你曾对我说的,那我也原封归还给你。Because I'm not thinking that much as you thought for sometimes... that's might just all your self imagination as well too... so, don't think too much as how you tell me before, k? ^^

第一堂lecture —— Mass Media Law

Haiz...今天总算上了一堂讲堂。但为什么我还会唉声叹气呢?那是因为这堂课让我上得很不自然,有些东西还真的很难预知的,所以往往都没有心理准备,但勉勉强强还过得去。

今天教的是Mass Media Law,如你所见就是法律咯。没想到我们GD的也要读法律,没办法咯,老师教什么,我就学什么咯,也算是一门知识嘛。或许因为迟到的关系吧,而且还是跟别的course的学生一起上,突然很多生疏的面孔让我觉得怪怪的,简直好像是first year first sem。但我想主因还是坐在我旁边的那班女生好吵哦,让我觉得更不自然,因为害怕老师会突然生气啊。

时间过得很快,一下下就上完了这堂课。因为电脑坏了不能用,所以老师今天也只是简单的讲解Copyright Law罢了。说真的,Law这一课让我有点紧张,也有点curious,也很想知道它的assignment会是什么样的呢?毕竟我们之前都没有碰过这一类科目嘛。

跟庆恩吃过午餐后,就一起到图书馆去。幸好做了对的选择,因为看到很多参考书,突然也让我excited起来,尤其是packaging design的书,so colourful,也让我领悟到“书中自有黄金屋”这个道理哦。^^

2009/10/06

返校的第一天

不知不觉,假期已经过去了,而我在最后一个星期的假期也没做什么。只是偶尔得空还会去教小学生做功课,不然就在家打机咯。

今天是回学校的第一天,上的是colour studies的lecture。可是却发生预想不到的事,真的有够好笑的。我们班上就只来了9个人,但没关系。我只期待上课与学习的过程,可是我们整个course的人等了半个小时,老师还是没来。我们都很失望了,也打算准备回家去。但就在我们离开的时候,老师终于来了。我们当然还是留下来上课咯,也原谅老师的迟到,毕竟今天是第一天嘛。

然后老师就准备show power point的slide show给我们看。结果,我们全部人看了,都非常惊讶!因为slide show显示的是Radio and DJ还有Diploma in Broadcast Communication Year 1。我们所有人就认为老师进错班了,可是老师说他的时间表没有错,反而还叫我们再检查回我们的时间表,是否有看错。那时候我还很想说:“老师,我们这里有五十多双眼睛,会有可能看错吗?”=.= 亏我还这么期待着一堂课,还等了半个小时,却来了一个教别的科目的老师... 真的有够好笑咯!

就这样,我们叫course rep去office comfirm一下,可是office好像关了。这很明显是office的错了,难怪我们的时间表这么快能够在Intranet那里登出,原来是错的。Haiz... 我们这一趟又白来了,就这样我们各自回家咯。>.<''

第二年第一学期 之 火锅篇

虽然这学期都很忙,但是不管怎么再忙,我们还是会抽出时间透透气。呵呵... 所以我在这学期也娱乐了很多,最让我印象深刻的就是火锅了。不知道什么时候开始,这个学期突然很流行火锅呢。第一次火锅大会就在秀芳和淑娉家的阳台举行。哈哈哈...MetroView的阳台还真的是我们集聚地,不管是生日会还是烧烤大会,都是目前最佳的地方。哈哈哈... 那次火锅大会还真的很好玩。因为完毕之后,大家就聚在秀芳和淑娉的房间玩true or deal的游戏,还真的有刺激又搞笑呢。大家也在那时候得知了很多不能说的秘密,也分享一下个人的心事呢。我也在那时候因为某件事也松了口气。呵呵呵... ^^ 不管怎样,那次还真的是要感激秀芳和淑娉,因为愿意提供我们地方来办这个火锅,我们也知道给她们添了不少麻烦。真得不好意思... >.<

而第二次吃火锅就是在我们上英文最后一堂课的那个星期四,也是我难忘的一天。因为我们一上完课就乘着Mervin的车一起到GreenBox那里唱K。玩到很夜才打算回去,肚子饿了突然庆恩想起“电话饭店”。“电话-饭店?那家饭店有很多电话吗?”哈哈...这是我好奇的地方。也因为要到这家饭店吃火锅,我们还领教到“原来找吃是这么辛苦”的滋味。因为我们确实花了不少时间还有车的汽油才找到这家“饭店”。但这饭店给我第一个印象是“这真的是饭店吗?怎么建在不为人知的地方呢?”不过,这饭店是我认为觉得超划算的烧烤火锅,因为就任你吃到饱为止,也只不过一个人才RM21左右,而且食物都很新鲜。如果有机会还真的很想带更多人来分享一下那里海鲜呢。我们也在那里逗留到半夜12点才回家。

希望下学期也能够跟更多人一起去吃火锅。我想我也被大家影响,开始喜欢吃火锅,尤其是烧烤的那个。^^

2009/09/23

第二年第一学期 之 DGD5篇

当每次有人提到我们D5这一班,我都会忍不住想笑。我笑并不是赞成他们所说的话,虽然也不能完全否认,而我只是在笑他们太小看我们这一班了。呵呵呵...

在这个学期里,有英文老师向我们大发雷霆,有drawing老师对我们失望,也有typo老师说我们的不是......所以我想我们这一班也许在别班的眼中是最差的吧。但其实,我们这一班并不是大家想像的那样坏,那样差,那样的不好哦。

确实我们有些功课是最后一分钟赶出来的,但也绝不会比其他组差。还有就是团结的精神了,这肯定胜过其他班吧。在功课方面,我们都是互相帮忙,尤其是最后一分钟那种。记得那次交advertising project的前一夜,我们几个在Mervin家通宵过夜。说明是前一夜了,但我们那时候还有时间玩MSN和电话,不过最后我们交出的功课可是在班上最高分的哦。呵呵呵...^^

当然还有英文的presentation,我也跟其他组互换功课来检查,帮来帮去的。虽然浪费了我不少时间,但能帮上大家的忙,我都会很开心的。而且到最后,我们的功课也是最棒的哦。呵呵呵... 接下来就是typo了,也是在众多的功课中最浪费时间,精神还有金钱的。记得那次我们几个一起坐车跑来跑去,大家在交功课的前一刻都在DK那里拼命。呵呵呵...地上还留下我们的spray mount的痕迹呢,我想那是无法轻易被刷掉的记号吧。^^

虽然知道last minute才来赶功课是不对的,而且我以前在中学的时候也没有试过这样,明知是不对,但我却有点乐在其中的感觉。毕竟我不是一个人在努力中,而是跟大家一起努力,朋友之间也互相帮忙一下。最后我们还是把功课完成了。“Last minute出炉的功课才是最新鲜又热辣”突然想起来真的觉得很好笑叻。

其实我写这一篇,并不是要鼓励大家要last minute work哦,而是大家的合作。而且last minute可是会很累人的,所以大家还是多付出一点努力吧,相信一定会比之前做得更好。我也答应好自己下个学期开始,要更付出一点点的努力。对了,我也突然想起group study的事,那时也让我怀念我们几个坐在宿舍食堂一起温习读书,你问我答的,你说我笑的,蛮不错的。^^

2009/09/16

第二年第一学期 之 Advertising与Layout篇

这个学期让我学到最多东西的科目,我想就是advertising吧。老师所教的4P还有5M等之类的东西,对我们将来都很有帮助,尤其是想要自己经营的生意,更加不容许错过老师所教的每一堂课哦。我也从老师给project里更对advertising产生兴趣,很有成就感。因此,我对advertising的付出可以说会比其他的科目来的多,也希望考试能够获得A咯。呵呵呵... ^^

接下来就是layout,layout重要的地方就是那些elements。除了这个,我想其余的好像也没什么重要。其实我对layout这科一开始也抱很大的兴趣,因为它所教的东西跟我们将来design的广告都有关联。haiz...只可惜这个学期由于赶别的功课,结果作出来的设计也马马虎虎的,真的有点过意不去。这也难怪,因为两位老师在这方面也不是很清楚的讲解,尤其是practical老师所教的东西,我都可以从网上学回来,所以他的课可以说是废的。=.=''

好了,这就是我对这个学期的每个科目的意见。若有任何得罪的地方,请多多包涵咯。:P

第二年第一学期 之 Typo与英语篇

Typo简直可以说是得空没事做,却要拿事来做!Haiz...就因为它的功课,浪费我很多宝贵的时间!花费在这功课上的时间是其他科目都比不上的!不但时间,technical pen就已经够吃钱了... T-T

Typo对我们graphic designer固然重要,但我们应该更注重设计吧。如果只将设计用AI来做,然后就print出来完成,那岂不是更好吗?干嘛还要我们特地去买technical pen, glossy paper还有lightbox,然后再花至少四个小时来完成那A4size的功课呢?不但花钱还浪费时间,简直是没事找事做... 要不是要花时间用technical pen来涂,我才不会随便找几个字改少少的东西就交上去了,相反地我宁愿在设计方面花时间呢。10 sketches within 2 weeks, 加上老师时常缺课,要给她approve的功课还是要等到last minute的那种!Haiz... 我对Typo有的只是失望,因为还真的是没有学到东西咯... 只学到没事找事做,浪费时间与金钱,得来的成果是少过付出的... 但想仔细下,typo有让我学会一样东西,那就是“patient"-- 忍耐。要不是我忍,我还真的会被typo给气炸了!>.<

接下来就是English for Mass Comm, 也是学不到什么东西的科目。我英文有进步也是看movie和英文的连续剧学回来的。因为他们说的英文不但标准,还很容易让人听得明白才是重点。这整个学期,英文就只注重在那份long report罢了,所以除了一些简单的format之外,我还真的没学到什么东西。老师上课也是讲些有的没的,听得明白的我就跟他点头下,听不明白的我也只好跟他苦笑下咯。老师还说我们这次英文有机会score A。结果呢,这次的考试是我一生来考过最难的!别说拿A,就连B都不知道有没有。因为这也是我第一次350个字的作文,我既然写不到290个字,时间简直分配得不好!这时候我要引用一下我朋友的句子:Exam is used to test students' knowledge, it's not a competition of writing speed..it's the time to change the exam duration!!

这次的英文真的让我很难过,因为根本就没发挥出平时的能力,写出来的句子还真的是中下的。真的辜负老师也对不起自己... T-T

第二年第一学期 之 DrawingII篇

Drawing对graphic designer来说当然是很重要的,而由于转换成100%coursework,所以这个学期里又要学human figure和water color。

human figure老师在tutorial class的时候都教得还不错。至少会比之前那个老师好一点,因为他都会实际地教导我们如何画还有改进。但是呢...他的lecture还真的是有够无聊加无趣的,因为就只是让我们看照片和映像,看的人不是睡觉就是越来越少。虽然那些映像是提供额外知识,但对我们来说不是太深奥就是不知道看来是做什么用的 =.=''

至于watercolor老师,是学校花了一笔的钱从MIA请来了一位master级的老师,可惜教出来的我们还真的是“无以伦比”啊!尤其是我从来就没用watercolor来上颜色的,简直可以说是整个course最烂的那个。虽然老师教得theory我都明白的,但是就连一般人的程度我也涂不出来。layer, wet to wet, dry to wet and wet to dry之类的,知识上我是明白它的原理,但还是对我来说很难运用在画画上,因为我就连最基本的功夫都不会,怎么可能要我短时间内画出老师要的等级呢?而且功课太多,时间不够,所以根本就不能好好学习。haiz... watercolor还真的是我的死穴,要想办法来补救也是很难了。我也因为这个功课还差点崩溃,每次涂着涂着都很惭愧...但为了交功课还是死出来了... >.<''

这次Drawing还真的不知道能够合格吗... T-T

放假咯~

好久没来更新我的部落格了
因为这个学期确实是很忙
忙得我有时候还真的都快要崩溃了
但不用紧了
因为今天是这个学期的最后一天了
真的好高兴
因为也刚刚考完试
所以现在可以放松一切玩得痛快
呵呵呵...

接下来
我也会利用假期的时间
来不断更新一下我的部落格
跟大家分享下在这学期里的点点滴滴
以及我个人对这学期的感想

今天所写的算是前言吧
也到此为止
因为我现在真的很累了
眼睛是时候也该闭上好好的休息
大家也记得要多多照顾好自己吧
Bye~ Bye~ ^^

水彩--我的死穴

明天就要交水彩画了...
这是老师上个星期给我的功课...
彩的是2位女子的portrait
上个星期看老师把水彩运用的很自然
而且真的是让我们大开眼界
但是我一向来都不用水彩来上颜色的
一来我完全不会控制水的多少
水对水彩来说是非常重要的
因为它可以把颜色从深变浅,从浅变深
但一旦不懂得控制的话
颜色就无法你想像得涂出来那么美了
甚至还把整张图画纸给弄湿了
还真的有够讨厌!

一向来用惯蜡笔的我
根本就无法向老师涂得那么好了
但为了交功课
我还是第一次完成一幅水彩画
而且这算是我的小小的进步了
因为要是以前
一旦发现涂到一半就不好
就会停笔放弃
甚至把图画纸丢到垃圾桶去
因为还真的有够难看
所以能够完成我就已经很开心了
至于涂得好不好
以后就要多多练习了

虽然我还是有打算放弃这一科的...
但还是见一步走一步吧...

不满意

今天心情还不错的我
跟Mervin一起到TBR那里去print东西
就是那个Typography的功课咯
理所当然我们都是到那间有很多电脑的

这个功课真的好不容易
我昨晚就因为它害我接近3点才睡觉
所以今天的睡眠也不是很够
由于我们是用AI来做的
所以昨晚我还要打开50+的文件来检查
是否有create outline for the font
然后还要打那个超白痴的Content Page
光是号码就搞到头大

然后今天拿到那间店去print
还真的有够后悔的
因为Mervin print了130多张加binding才RM17+而已
而我的53张还没加binding就要RM29
还真的是walao eh
未免相差太多了吧
而且我还领悟到一样东西
那就是never ever use AI to do documentary but is for illustration
所以我print出来的东西会变小一点点
而且幸好我知道margin
要不然就会像一些庆恩和Park Mun做的
因为他们好像忘了AI是没有margin的
所有binding可能就会连字也一起bind进去
还有要讲的是那间店的老板
还真的会浪费我的时间叻
叫他print东西他竟然在那里讲电话
还print少一张Content Page
Print出来的quality又不是很好又收我这么贵

Haiz...
那时候的我心情变得差差了
是因为那个老板一直讲庆恩和Park Mun做的有些很难print出来吗?
还是因为我觉得我们都做得不够好呢?
当时的我又想起淑娉的话
“Individual work is better”
怎么说我都觉得印出来的东西好像等于“垃圾”
是我太过疏忽了
又还是我的要求很高呢?
