My P&Q2 assignment 2 is almost done, left the minor part which is the cover page and the contents page. Altogether is about 2.3k words(not including a summary). Today didn’t do much stuff after school comes home to sleep until about 9 pm, eat my dinner, and finished up my last bit of P&Q. Wednesday at 5pm is the deadline for both CANI and P&Q2.
Got my hands on 3DS Max 5 a few days ago, I must say that the GUI is almost the same as Max 4. Well, Max 5 has improved and more advanced lighting effects, now radiosity is stimulated instead of having to create a lot of lights just to stimulate it, which is so troublesome. The track view is more user friendly now. I still got many more features that I am uncertain of.
Today, all the local tv channels has been tune to the broadcasting of National Day Rally 2002 live, spoken by Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong. Well since I got got nothing to do, I watched the rally, and it was very interesting and it gives me general knowledge on more about Singapore.
Stayed at home the whole day and rush my P&Q2 assignment 2, almost completed with about 2k words. Left strategy, summary and conclusion. 3 more days to deadline.
Went to school to do Entreneurship assignment 1, after that Alvin and gang came my house to do the powerpoint slides. Its just a short presentation, only 14 slides. We played Worms 2 after that, 5 players in 1 game, it was so fun. Old school man.
My parents fetch them to Tanglin Halt hawker center for dinner, wanting to eat the duck noodle there, but didn’t open, in the end, ended up eating fishball noodles, the fishball noodles really tastes good. Next time got long breaks in between, can go there for lunch.
Learnt rigging during CANI pratical lessons, rigging basically means boned your character. Not that difficult actually. During DEUI tutorial, my classmate, Zhi Fan, when presenting tutorial 3, his speech make us all laugh, it is very very funny, the way he talk. ROFL
Stayed back in school till 5pm to discuss CANI assignment 2 with Klaus and gang. After some calculations, the movie we estimate is about 2 minutes long, but our assignment requirements is only 30-45 secs. LOL
Today didn’t do anything at all. Wanted to do P&Q2, but don’t have the drive to do it LOL. Even in school also boring, WWWP pratical and DEUI pratical pratically this 2 praticals I have been surfing internet and playing Literati, total of 4 hours.
Even my last lesson of the day which was DSAL pratical, for the 1 hour, I have been surfing the internet and chatting away on IRC. Really a slacking day.
Yap, my CANI assignment 1 is done, rendered the 26 seconds/650 frames of animation in 54 minutes. Import it to Premiere and added in music to it. File size is about 15.6mb. Report also completed. Will be doing my P&Q2 assignment 2 tomorrow. 1 more assignment to go for me, which is IWED.
Went to eat teppanyaki express located in the Food Junction at Lot 1 earlier on. After that went to play Warcraft 3 at the LAN shop, I can say that the LAN shop computers REALLY SUX. Reaper’s and Lester Goh’s computer hang about 3 times. And when playing the game, it is so laggy even though all settings have been set to lowest. In the end we end up being raped by 3 computers in a 3v3 match. Cannot make it.
CANI assignment 1 deadline has been extended to Wednesday, 21st August 2002, my lecturer announced it today due to many requests by students.
Finished my CANI assignment 1 report, 600+ words with 4 pictures, will be rendering my animation tomorrow if eveything turns our as planned. Must finish my CANI by Thusday, so that I can forcus on my P&Q2 and IWED. Both assignments are due next week.
My house downstairs there is a pasar malam(night market), met up with a couple of friends and went down for a walk. This year’s pasar malam very little stalls, maybe due to the economy. Within 20 minutes, we was able to walk round the whole pasar malam. After that we proceed to a nearby playground to chat, since we did not meet up for about a month.
On our way to the playground, saw a black cat crossing, so did not want to cross the path, as chineses always say, “never to cross a black cat’s path”. After making a turn, my left foot step into the drain, my foot scratch against the cement. Lucky only minor injury. How unlucky.
Went for my last driving theory lesson in the afternoon with Lester Goh. Well, the instructor command of English wasn’t that good, but his jokes are good. I still can remember how he pronounce penalise, “pen-na-lise”. LOL.
After my lessons, went to Queensway to buy Converse slippers, they are having 20% discount storewide, my brother also bought the same slippers as me and a pair of Adidas shoes.
Basically, the whole day I stayed at home to rush my CANI assignment 1, spend about 7 hours including breaks to get 12 secs of my animation up and running. I went to visit my grandfather and my auntie at Toa Payoh. I went there for my dinner, had fish soup and fried oyster egg. The fried oyster egg at Lorong 6(I think) is recommended by many television programs like Yummy King and City Beat. It is the best-fried oyster egg I have eaten.
I came back and spend about 3 hours extending my animation by 4 seconds, now my total animation lasted about 16 seconds. Got stuck after the 16th second, that is why I took a break to post this piece of blog. Shall continue my animation later in the afternoon.
