FMO Ep 6

Now is FRI and the day for submission of design have really ended...to be true have waited for so long alrd...fr ystd 12 noon to today to today 12 noon to today late afternoon and it have finally been approved!!!

Have been going home very late at night for 4 days and today is definitely a nice day for me to be back home at 8.45pm...really feel quite bad about it coz in these 4 days when i came back is either my parents have gone to sleep alrd or soon and so basically ahve none or just little conversation...and all is becoz of those TAGS..i am not a designer by nature and initially thought it is going to be a uphill task for me...but judging from all my designs till now all i can say is i am quite proud of myself for my designing..really came a long way from no inspiration and lack of confidence to finally designing a tags which is to people likings...sense of satisfaction is definitely there...esp on the OGL tag which is wore by everyone during FMO

The most sad part  is of coz the previous proposal tag concept which i have been doing all way long then just before it is very bear to the submission date-the CONCEPT is rejected...Wth y i was not told way way bef an du r telling me now...at that time i really cannot accept in such a short time how can i have a new concept.inspiration for a new tag?...but was glad that something went in my mind and manage to come out with a new concept and design which only took me 1 day only and it is approved...WOW...

Will talk about what happens ystd but just in short detail..ystd went with shawn and ko to visit the supplier coz i need to be ard and know the place as i will need to be there the next time when submitting design as ko is away for holidays and i will need to know hat is going on..

And this is how it goes aft going for the supplier of coz it is time for dinner and during the journey to suntec just aft i have came out of undergrd station my pants button suddenly broke...was super regret not to wear belt ystd as it was on wed..and before it drops off it is alrd quite loose alrd wats more when is drop off but till manage to hold on.. aft having our dinner off to carrefour to find safety pins  and apparantly those china workers dun understand what it meant  by safety pins and too bad i tink i have to uy a new pants alrd...but the pants there is too imbal alrd and then came shawn with the sol..-The LANYARD!!!Cant imagine ...at first told him cant one la then later was convinced and WOW he did it and it is super tight and safe...

And becoz of that went home late and only arrive home at 11pm..though was glad to have bought a box of strawberries whic is one of my fav fruit...rarely see a place sells nice and fresh strawberries...

The 2 official tags for FMO are as follow :

OGL Tag

Proposal Tag

FMO Ep 5

Ogl tag

Proposal Tag

New design for proposal tag and updated version of ogl tag to be vetted and approved by TODAY

FMO -Ep 4

Haven really got any time to blog at all due to overload work then is weighing on me...just designing 2 tags already tires me out alot each day...

7 hrs per day and sit down there looking for inspirations is certainly not easy at all; proposal i have the concept there which is good but the same cannot be the same for the OGL tag perhaps because its is more of like freewill design...and the other thing perhaps is because of the pressure which i am facing as my OGL tag are going to be wear by every single OGL as well as helpers during the FMO period and i really need all of their aproval..

And thus in terms of concept wise i try to go for about the same design as last year batch even with the color theme as i do not dare to go for other color theme. Orange and yellow is really a very good color to use given that it is a energectic kind of color u can't ask me to use blue which signify "FEELING BLUE" and red which is powerful color; black-dull color; purple-universal gay color,etc and so to me this 2 colors are the perfect ones and i guess that why last year batch also uses these colors.

After lots and lots of vetting and suggestion given by the excos design certainly have improve quite a lot and in the process did learn quite a few tricks on photoshop...and finally tmr is the deadline for all design to be approved and ready for presentaion on monday..

Can really feel the pressure experience by all of us in the pub team...ystd we will made to stay back till ard 7-8+ to continue our design and in the end u know what i have my dinner at 9.30pm at HG...nice nice actually can eat at sch mac but dun wan la MAC again sian and i do not want to hold down other ppl as well

AND the qn as to why i can i blog now even as i am saying i am very busy that is becoz after vetting my tag seems to be rather ok alrd and i will just made the changes i am told to do so...hope everyone will like my design esp on the OGL tag coz i think not much have seen it all..Proposal tag is ok i have alrd let the Prop team to have a look and they felt nice...though need brighten it up a bit which i did.. do give your comments about all design i have posted..

fmo - ep3

Today is going into the 2nd week of the FMO and all i can say that things are not going as smoothly as i thought



Finding inspiration for the FMO is definitely not easy though some of us have use photoshop before in the AUD module in yr 1 sem 2...so which means though we can do but cannot think of a design that is the thing...


Brushes,textures,blending options these are the things which before 1 am not that familiarise with..but must thank kenneth for his demo session starting from stratch last week so i now know a bit more alrd (and to the other 2 excos as well for their guidance)


Job allocation was given out on mon but was reallocated on tues i have no ideas about it before that and i have no qualms about that coz i am not much affected but the rest of the teammate..


Actually i would say i just dunno why we have happen some unhappiness between the pub team and the excos i wouldnt want to say anything bad but i just hope everything can go on smoothly they must trust us that we can deliver our stuff on time and with good quality but is just that perhaps we are really short of manpower and have to come out with so many things


I was given OGL tag and proposal tag to do hmm for proposal is pretty ok i have the concept there which i think is not bad but the ogl is the stress one everybody in the FMO are going to wear the tag i design...omg is difficult i would say coz there is nothing to focus on unlike other depts it is free for design...was finding for inspiration throughout the day even at mrt,shopping mall,home everywhere but still cannot find lol and so no choice look on photoshop to see which style i can adopt and do it and submit by 2359..


Vetting is on tmr if accepted is good if rejected must edit again and i still have invitation cards and banners to assist others as well...hope everything can be done soon...

2 design for the tags will be posted on a later date...

FMO-Ep 2

Was realy a tiring days for the alst few days have to go back to school everyday for FMO from 10-5pm everyday excluding debrief time which last around 30 mins wow i now really looks like a real working adult but with aboulutely no pay...

Just waiting for the FMO to start asap then it is going to be an exciting one...
Photoshop...Photoshop u are really my friend after manage to hide from u aft this sem here i am seeing u again...who ask me in Publication Department which have kenneth..Was really really lacking in creativity in designing and knowledge about Photoshop...the first design was really *** (see below)

Publication Department patheticalyl only got 10 people in it and 3 excos...nice how are we going to design all those tags and t-shirts,etc i really cant think...all use photoshop

This 2 days are just trial version of using photoshop to see if we are familiar with it and at the same time learn it

Design 1

Design 2

Vote which one nicer of coz we all know which one la..
Tomorrow don't know will do what wait and see!

FMO

Today went for FMO camp(only 4 from our class made for the trip-me,michel,eerong n yaorong) initially really thought is just 1 day only but turn out to be 2 days...so tmr sry guys cant go for swimming and badminton le...

At first feel that this FMO is going to be BUANG alrd coz we will be split into groups and though i know 2 guys from my DPA Course too bad none is on the same group as mine...and the anti-social thing starts again follow by all those lame games which i cant think of...thought of going off secretly midway but later change my mind

But for some time later felt it was not a bad one after all..games wouldnt too lame and quite interesting though i am still my usual self keeping as quiet as possible..LOL lucky during the games period KO grp was just beside me only and got come here and say hello..the leaders from my grp was not too bad very hyper just got lots of things to talk about...Teamates wise not going to say much though coz its just 2 days only after which we will be deploy to the dept we hose

Department inclues

• Proposal (Hates the most)
• Publication(First choice coz of ko inside)
• Games(third coz too many ppl want alrd dun want squeeze and i am not all creative abt all this ice breaking game..in fact hate it)
• Logistic(2nd-a new experience for me...think is gonna be interesting)
• Admin(3rd-shld be prerrt gd based on inuition)
• Finale(nNo comments-sandwiched between proposal)

Hope i will be in the Pub and i should be enjoying my time there..
Now the thing i need to learn is to TALK more there..if nt how can be a ogl during FMO

Have my 3rd Mac meal in 1 week and getting sick of it..please tmr no more mac..
The debriefing part is the most most boring part that i can fall asleep...take so long and ask a lot of hypothesis question...kind of losing patience in the lec but still manage to stay thru out the session

Finally aft the debrief have to rush off to find my mum for birthday dinner luckily the time just match with me nicely...after she knock off from work

Ok anticipating tmr day 2 camp-amazing race and hope it is a nice one again before actual planning starts on wed

FM-7-9 April

Happy Birthday!

Happy 45TH Birthday to my mum on the 8 March!

Really grateful to her for what she have gave me..admittedly between my bro and i she dote more on me try to give me everything i wish i could have and taking care of bread and butter issues and giving me good advice but sometimes felt the way she show favourism(same as my dad but sometimes just dunno why communication breakdown) is too obvious just wonder if thats hurts my bro...hope not!!!

But now seems i am also turning 18 in about 2 months time it is time for me to really think of my future already be independent do those things that in the past i have been hesitating on now its the time for me to realise..

ok shall blog about what i have done today...went out with my mum to suntec to buy her health products coz she dunno the way (omg its that drink i have to drink everyday...) and shop there as well.

Finally got my sports shoes in Royal Sporting House will come in handy whenever i am doing sports..
Then have some Dim sum at asian kitchen citylink mall (mum treat coz she say her b'day)the dumplings and the xiao long bao taste nice..

Then later at ard 4pm+ went to Changi Airport Terminal 3 to send off derrick for his melbourne trip together wif nic,yq and wj...First time go terminal 3 have a good impression there think is way better than terminal 1 and 2 gots lots of things to shop

Looking at the plane flying makes me feel like taking a flight too...the plan to go taiwan have been said lots of time already but always it foil...that will be my 2nd time taking a plane if succeed...BUT to say truly i have a bit phobia of taking a plane coz seeing of so many plane crash reports really affect my views on plane safety...nevertheless still hope to have a chance to take a plane again soon..

Now while i am blogging just thinking of derrick who is on the plane now wonder how he ison the plane huh..

Time to sign off alrd tmr still have to go for FMO at 11am...LOL BEAR WITH IT..really dun like the orientation kind of feeling have to know NEW ppl..AHAHA but as said above i have to learn to adapt.

Hope will be a wonderful FMO TMR!!!

IT'S UP

BLOG is up and running WEF from 10.08PM

Ok shall update what i have done just right after my exam..

Wed
Have a trip to Far East Shopping Centre with kennth Ong and Yao Rong for an epic centre IT Show job but to no avail coz we go to the WRONG place which is Far East Plaza..amazing right even the webpage itself make a mistake..so by the time we go alot people alrd got liao...though we send an email resume before that they say they did not count that..LOL and in the end we end up playing L4D2 in LAN

Thurs
Have a nice reunion with all my pals from secondary school for swimming and badminton game
For Swimming only me yq and hasif make for the trip only while the others only came for badminton..Really have a long time playing badminton..almost for around 4 hrs though i did not play as much as i did coz finger was injured in the process..

And 1 unusual thing happen as well..we always play for FREE at the court which is from anchorvale CC and nobody cares about it coz very few ppl will play there and surprisngly they have install a CCTV there and caught us playing there w/o booking and was made to pay..really hates the attitude the CC staff gave but was quickly cool down when she surprsingly direct us to play in the court operated by SSC which is jsut beside only which cost $3.50/hr compared to the CC $6/hr then we pay for an hour BUT play for 4 hrs +..

Speaking of swimming sometimes was quite angry with myself coz i have already go there quite some times already way starting from after O level exam and yet i have still not learn some technique about it..some of my friends like larry have taught me some..really appreciate that but still cant...BUT the good thing is finally the latest trip to there finally bear some fruit..yesterday manage to swim some distance with the frog style w/o wearing goggles strange enough the moment i wore my goggles and tried to swim-it FAILED feel something is blocking me from moving forward...anyway thought of it already going to take up a swimming course real soon(for a night classes)

Today
Again went for a movie with my sec sch friends late at night for a 9pm show
Reach at ard 7 ready for dinner but surprisingly cannot find a place which have less people and end up eating bread as dinner

Show Title-Alice in Wonderland

Was quite a nice show with a good storyline and interesting story was quite enjoyable throughout the whole movie..after movie derr bear and i home sweet home by 88 while others went home by train
