happy halloween.

I was never a halloween person, nor do i like pumkins.
I've never celebrate it in any way with you when i know you want it so badly.
I'm sorry.
Anyway, here's a little something for you.
Happy halloween to you.

To "Ulyssys" military company.

I'm not suppose to disclose any "TOP SECRET" informantion about National service, So i'm just gona do a cheer(kinda).
It's not agains the law of army to do such thing right?
Anyway here goes...

"Ulyssys! Ulyssys! All the way!"

P.S. 8hours to booking into camp. Oh, and deepavali to all! :)

Tonsillitis

Just experimenting with adhesive tape design.
hahas, it's kinda fun branding a virus infection.

I don't know about other company(military unit), but this Tonsillitis thing has been spreading
all over mine.

3 obvious symptoms i've personally observed are
- cough (dry ones)
-Sore throat
-Fever, chills

For me, its a pain in the ass (literally), i hate it, and its not going away. *bloody hell*

Is this the legendary "tekong cough" every recruit that came in had been complaining for years?

Down by the MO, took a little walk.

The MO is actualy refering to the Medical Officer every recruit loves to visit once in awhile to avoid and run away from training. They'll issue Yellow arm bands to notify other higher ranking people that this recruit has a medical status.
No sergeants would forced you to do training nor punnishment :)

This 2 month of BMT(military training), i had fever once, cough almost everyday , fell and bleed once(today) and never once visited the MO. See how much perseverance i've got! :p

Cousin turning 21.

Have i ever mention that i've got 12 cousins?(I'm closer to my mum's sides family)
And yes, my eldest one is turning 21 in a few days time!
Happy 21st in advance!

The Army is slowly killing parts of me.

Bookout.

Ha! Even before i enter Tekong(camp), I’m already thinking getting out(bookout).
I dread this day to come, and counting down makes it worst. Damn.

So, as mentioned in my previous many post, I'm entering the army.
And hey, i just realised I’ve got 2 more days being a civilian!(including today)
I know it's not like the end of the world, but every meals seems like the "last supper" to me man. It sucks.

Alright, thats about it, gona pack some "civilian cloths" into my bag and prepare to "serve the nation". whatever man.

"Hi, i'm selling my house!".

Housing in Singapore is getting more and more insanely expensive,
Prices are sky high. wooh!

It's nearly impossible for most of the younger generation like myself to own a house in future.

Lets migrate!

dribbble.com

Maybe I'm a little bit slow, but just yesterday, i found out about dribbble.com.
After getting invited, I've post my first "Shot".

"What are shots?
Shots are small screenshots posted by members to show what they are working on. Some have called Dribbble "Twitter for creatives." Shots are to Dribbble as tweets are to Twitter. " -dribbble.com

A photo of me.

Check out my new "About me" photo taken in Phuket by rina! :)
About me.

Classic Cliche.

Just a little fun over the weekend.
First time experimenting on logo making like this, so hope it's not too bad.

A quote from the recent movie "Friends with Benefits";
"i know i'm new at this, but what i lack in experience, i make up for in cliche"
Here i am trying to create a classic look of a cliche logo :)


Feel free to drop me a mail for comments and feedback! :)

Phuket - Island hoping II

Thailand - Phuket - Raya Island.




A red bench from a sleazy layback bar along the coast of Raya island.

A photo of Raya island, before the tsunami 5-6 years ago.

Phuket - Island hoping

Phuket - Khai Island.
Pristine - soft, white sand.
Colorful umbrellas and chairs.
Coconut, Corn, Icecream, Cocktails.
Commercialized. Too Commercialized.

Phuket - young sailors.

"So when i grow up, i wana be a sailor, just like my dad." might just be what this kid was thinking at that moment.

yes! I'm back from phuket! and yes, you could expect more photos up here in days to come.

The Peace Before Disaster Strikes

My last overseas trip before i shave my head and enter national service. (last one i promise.)

7D7N Trip to Thailand - Phuket!!!
I'll attempt to update this blog while i'm over there, and will post lots of photos when i'm back! Wait for me!

Here's a poster i made for this trip weeks ago.

Party.

A super awesome friend of mine just turned 21 just two days ago,
Happy birthday Guan Han! GHL!
And here are some photos taken from his balloon party :]

oh, and helium balloon are awesome fun!

Sungei Road - Thieves' Market.

Who's still digging oldest flea market in Singapore?

Since the 1930s, the road has been synonymous with the Thieves' Market, where the locals can hunt for all sorts of second-hand merchandise as well as contraband goods.

My personal retro hunting ground! :)

Singapore, My Home.

Inspired by Albin Holmqvist's work,
I've create typographic logotypes for My country, Singapore.

Today is Singapore's national day, today we celebrate the Separation from Malaysia, and i'm glad we did.

Happy 46th Birthday Singapore! :)

A Tiny Island In Singapore Called "Kusu".

So together with a group of friends we found ourselves in this nearly empty island.
Excluding the 6 of us, i estimate around other 8 pairs of human feet set on the island.
It felt like we owned the entire island! And hired 4 bangalas workers to maintain the place, 1 coast guard, and 3 terrorist trying to invade our land.

I try to include more "alive" subject in this post, after realising most of the photographs in my blog are just things. dead, motionless things.

And in this post, i told myself to keep to 1 editing style, which i failed again. Gosh, so hard to maintain consistency.

Wetland.

So I've visited Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve a few days back, and realised how awesome nature is.

28 mosquito bites... ... ...

No seriously, living in a busy city like Singapore, we've forgotten what "fresh air" smells like.

Up Yours.

The second piece which i made used with this magical modified facebook finger.

Multipurpose Finger huh, can be used to push blames & responsibility, and now even rude insults.

P.S No offence, just for fun :)

Logo/Icon

NO! It's not a simllie-face icon okey!
It's a Cow's nose!

Imigine the logo with eyes on top... HA! Now does it look like a cow's nose?!



UPDATED.
Check this out bitches! I've got my logo up as a favicon of my blog site!

Keep Calm and Blame On

What?! You’ve not heard of the ‘Keep Calm' craze yet!?

Recently the old 1939 poster produced by the British government have come alive, people have been re-producing these posters and used it as a decorative theme for whatsoever. People have been using the print on book covers to take pictures as accessories, hanging them in their restaurant as display theme and stuff like that.

“The poster was initially produced by the Ministry of Information [2] in 1939 during the beginning of World War II. It was intended to be distributed in order to strengthen morale in the event of a wartime disaster. Two-and-a-half million copies were printed, although the poster was distributed only in limited numbers.[3] The designer of the poster is not known.” –wiki

So I bored and made my own version of “keep calm” poster!

Basically retaining the style of the ordinal poster from 1936, and adding he modern element like a twisted version of Facebook “like” button. I called it the “blame” button.

And no, it’s not my fault. Mostly it’s the government fault.


Oh, the original looks something like that .
Open your eye, mashups are everywhere.
Keep calm and stay awesome people!

wishes.

Tie a red cloth to a tree, make a wish.
Close your eyes, and hope it all comes true.
