Another year has come to an end. This would be yearly closure blog post I'm doing.
Previous year could be found
here. :)
This year was still a busy year for myself in terms of work. Very very crazy year but not with its ups despite all the downs. Let's go through them below.
What happened this year:-
1) Deployed project to Japan! One of the most complicated BU of all.
2) Thus, fight and obtained for opportunity to travel to Japan itself to provide onsite stabilization support - one of the best decision I've made so far in my life, Japan is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
3) Travelled to United States for the 1st time with Calvin for CRP 1.5. Ad-hoc crazy last minute plan, obtained all the necessary letters, went for interview at U.S. embassy at KL, booked and constantly revise our flight schedule, hotel booking.. and the long flight there with multiple transit. Hey, at least I've watch the bats at St. Congress Avenue.. ^^ and not to mention carried a few Coach bags back...
4) Nightmarish almost 6 months period of constant work, late night calls, pressure mounted up to my throat
5) Lead a small team of 3 people for the LATAM project...
6) Have minor decorated a Christmas tree at our office
7) Was very very sad when Steve Jobs passed away...
8) Bought my iOS Wacom Bamboo stylus.. hey, finally!
9) Less photography session with the gang as well as myself. I think I took a lot when I travelled to JP and U.S.
10) Built 2 nice Gundam RG grade kit and loved it, cheaper price, very good articulation
11) Brought my mum to nice lunch at TGI Friday's on mother's day
12) Brought my mum to the project appreciation dinner at Rasa Sayang's Spice market
13) Made my 1st Transition glasses!
14) Felt sad and sorry for Japan with the Tsunami and earthquake that devastated the whole nation...
15) Took 1st medical check up in years! the needles weren't that bad, hey.. I'm quite healthy except for the cholesterol meter. Gotta watch that, other than that, I'm doing pretty good! thank goodness for that!
Gadgets owned :
1) iPad 2
2) iPhone 4S
3) Macbook Air 13" Mid 2011 with OSX Lion
4) nice pair of V Jays headphone
This year I took what I've learned last year and really applied them at certain situations in life. That being live life without regrets. So far at almost year end, I'm happy to say I did it. Succeed? Well, I would say yeah. Sometimes, one just gotta take the leap of faith.
2011 came and gone, I loved it. There are somethings that I do not want to put it here but somethings that happened, it started as a sad year but ending at a medium good note I would say. :) looking forward to 2012, I hope it's not end of the world yet... no. Life is still "young".
Looking for more travel next year. Gotta see more of the world before it ends.
Cheers everyone!
Made 3 version, 1st one is clean from Sketchbook Pro for iPad. 
From Snapseed, a powerful photo editing app... adds the bokeh effect around the sides.
Last but not least, with Halftone with all the crazy comic balloon conversation boxes to go.
The other day came back from work and found this parcel at my desk.
Upon seeing this address, I know what it is....
Haha, Art work... well, it's something related to art work but definitely not one. But nevertheless thank you for their handling and care on that.. Appreciated!
Here's the book I've been waiting for, from 1 of my favorite artist of all time - Bobby Chiu. It caters mostly for start up artist who wants to be inspired and motivated to attract clients to sell their art work to or even provide service. However, it contained more than that, including years of experience accumulated by Bobby himself and also from the artists he met along the way and their advice as well. All, bundled into a few chapters in this book.
I think I have missed creating 1 piece of Christmas art last year. I don't want to miss it out this year. Painted half way and the app crashed with only partial save, frustrated but picked myself up and continued immediately to make the date.
