PHELPS!!

I know I may be very very late for this post but nonetheless, better late than never!!

Last Saturday, I watched Michael Phelps' 7th Olympics game Live on television. I must say, watching Live is definitely far far far better than watching YouTube repeat videos!

I woke up real early that day (his game was scheduled 1010h) and watched the game with my dad. It was really really breath-taking! My dad was like 'He's not gonna win....' that kinda because Phelps was lagging behind for the first 3/4 of the lap!! Then he finally catch up with the first swimmer in line but was barely overtaking him.. when the first swimmer (Australia? I forgot), was like 10cm away from the finishing line, Phelps was in the midst of completing the next stroke when *FWAH* his stroke ended before the first swimmer!!

How exciting is that??!! Furthermore, there was a debate on who reached the finishing line first as the difference was a mere 0.01 second. The recorded video was played back and slowed down by 1/100 (is that how you phrase it?) to witness who actually reached the finishing line first!!

Although he didn't break the World Record for that game, he got yet another gold medal!

I watched his last game on Sunday and wahhhh... it's so nice.. he won again! It was a 4 x 100m medley relay, and the second swimmer (breast stroke) was lagging behind as the Japanese breast stroke world record holder managed to pull a huge gap away from other countries.. Then when the third swimmers dived in (butterfly stoke.. Phelps!), Phelps was clearly pulling his distance away from other swimmers!!

Okay, to cut my story short, after Phelps won his 8th Olympic gold medal, the whole stadium's attention was on him lor.. Such a young swimmer (23 years old), with such great achievements. He not only broke the previous world record holder of having most gold medals in one Olympics, he is also the best Olympian so far.. with 14 Olympic gold medals..

Just read his wikipiedia page lahh!! Trust me.. I bet alot of girls like him as much as I do.. Till the next Olympics, Phelps! <3

I didn't know somebody would be using my tagboard nick just to find out details of my friend. It totally ruins my reputation! (FYI, I'm not really close with that friend, hence there could be some friction on the questions the fake me asks)

It simply disgusts me to realise that I did not tag such message on my friend's blog, and those questions the fake me asked were quite private questions. Anyway, it shows that the fake me visit my friend's blog everyday as there were posts made on 17th, 18th and 19th August. I was at BF's house when the fake me tagged on 17th and 18th!

I went to tag the board on 19th to clarify I wasn't the fake me on 17th and 18th, and the fake me appeared like 10 hours later to clarify that the fake me is not me again???? Like wth? Why would I go back another 10 hours later just to clarify it again. That person must be dumb.

Period.

My friend knows the truth though, but this made me more careful when tagging friend's blog. I'll probably stick to Blogger comments if there is, at least the fake me don't have my username and password access :D

I'm just ranting :P

MNE2

Watched Money No Enough 2 on Tuesday with Jie Xiang. The show in my opinin, has too much CG and was quite unrealistic, except for the mother role.

Thumbs up for the lady who played the role of the mother!



Credits to Jack Neo.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Why did I say the mother role was realistic? Well, because I believe it is common in Singapore. Siblings quarrel over money and who to take care of parents. The sight of the mother having to downgrade to sleeping just outside the toilet made me cry. The sight of the confused mother being brought to an elderly home made me cry. The sight when she realised she was going to an elderly home, upon seeing her son running away after dropping her off, made me cry.

The mother role was very well acted that I believe I heard some sniffing in the quiet theatre when emotional parts of the movie was screened, but the crowd burst out laughing during the comedy part which comes after the emotional though, but I didn't. The sad emotions in me overpowered the comedy.

Anyway, I think the quality of the video is lousy. Perhaps cos I watched too many HD movies in cinema, and that the quality of MNE2 disappointed me.

Thumbs up for the mother role though!

I still prefer The Dark Knight. Sadly, Heath Ledger has passed away, he wouldn't be able to see his brilliant performance on screen but he will be remembered. I heard from Catharine that he actually had drug overdose because he tried to forget the Joker role? That's sad, because he played that role so fantastic that The Dark Knight had many reviews like "best superhero blockbuster ever"

RIP Heath Ledger.

Oh, new Olympics layout :)

Michael Phelps is hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been hearing his name on the radio and I decided to google it (seriously when I heard the word "Phelps", I roughly reckon the spelling would be "Phelps" and bingo!!). OMFG you gotta click on this!

Two years older than me yet so many achievements! (Okay I know different people, different destiny) He is good looking too, and that body!!!! *drools*

Let me fangirl for a while (mine is always very short-lived except for Jay Chou)

Today I heard on the radio that he had, yet again, broke the world record for 200m Butterfly Stroke. Maybe something typical for him but guess what??!! When he dive into the pool for that tournament, his left goggle was filled with water! He was 'half-blinded' and how the heck was he still able to break the world record????

He actually 'counted' his strokes so he'd be able to roughly tell when he is reaching the finish line!

Seriously a born swimmer!!!!!

Pray he clinch three more gold medals this Olympics to break another world record. He has already broken many world record, just read his Wikipedia page!!

Okay, let's just wish him all the best!!!!!!!! :)

Evolution

DISCLAIMER: I've lost the source of where I got those images from, so it's not because I simply don't want to credit you, but it's cos I forgot where it came from.

As promised, I'm back to blog on the evolution of my web design! I shall touch on school project works then to blog layouts..

Click on images for larger view okay..

Let me start the ball rolling with my first website done for module Internet and Multimedia Fundamentals (IMMF).



OMG, that was not bad right??

Second project for IMMF; SARS website, targeted at retired adults (group work).



Erm.... okay I know it looked more catered to teenagers.....

Wenna, do you remember the flash you did for the homepage? LOLOLOL!! I can't upload it for you to reminisce.

Singapore Fine Arts University website (group work) for User Interface Design module if I remember correctly..



Now you see improvement... right??

The top SiFAU thingy is actually a flash banner, but was done by Wenna.

One random Graphic Design Fundamental magazine layout.



Images all drawn by me.. my drawing not good.. I know..

The Petals for Visual Interface Design module.



It's a flash website by the way, but unfortunately, I lost the files as my laptop crashed I think.. I can't even remember how I did the beautiful petals =/

That's all I have for project works!! The rest of the files are either non-design related, or I had lost the files to it. I remember I did a logo design which was displayed during openhouse, but I only have hardcopy of it...... too bad lah..

My blog design fluctuates, I guessed it depend on my drive for designing the layout when I wanted to.



Simple.. but I guess it's the image which made it wow.. as this was one of my earlier works like when I was 17?



I even designed one for Initial D cos of Jay Chou!



Another simple design.



I like this layout alot!! But the content area is kinda limited..



Lovely. Scanned this out of the Heinken badges thingy.



Think I did this because I had a huge crush on someone...



Tears are the words the heart can't say..



Cute layout but it seems the side bar is abit too squeezy? Like no air to breathe lidat..



Beautiful illustration



When Jay Chou's November Chopin was out! Was in love with that song..

Last but not least..... my favorite!!!!!



SUPER NICE RIGHT????

Perhaps I will try to convert my current one into that design... erm... when I'm least lazy xD

Where's the passion?

Feeling nostagic as I ran through my old blog designs. Seriously, I felt I had lost the passion of blogging already. Is it due to hectic work life? I believe so. Although most of the days I report home after work, I don't feel like blogging. Perhaps cos my job revolves around the WWW, hence sometimes I just want to break free from it. (although I stream dramas online alot *shrugs*)

I promise to blog about it when I'm least lazy.. promise!!
