Due to laziness and lack of timeness, i have decided to import the posts from the blog I made for my wife for our wedding day ( www.iheartwing.com) and concentrate on posting at boliaosia.com. Don't worry Wing, most of the posts will be about you .... I promise!
I have also change the template for boliaosia.com. Still have some adjustments to do ..... when I have the time and feel better .... sick .....
Just collected our wedding pics from Alvin yesterday, hope to post some pics in the future.
A little update on Wing's life ...
Her teeth is now brand new after 3 treatments at Dr. Leong's clinic. No more pain!!
She also celebrated her birthday and our 1 year anniversary last month. Made her a special atm card that can be used weekly by swiping it at my backside. =) Real money will be issued okay!
P.S Like the new blogger changes ... very easy to use now. :)
Previously, I mentioned that Eric strike 4d first prize, now its my turn!!Last week I strike 4d!! Not first prize though. I bought the hotel room number that Wing was staying at when I went to Jie Xin Niang 接新娘 and won the "starter prize" =) Not as much as first prize but got strike I happy liao haha. However ....
On Wednesday, Wing tooth got very painful after washing her teeth. It was so painful that she cried many times. At it was night time and dental clinics are closed, we went to KK Hospital 24 hours clinic first to check if there it was safe to take some medication to stop the pain to last till the next day so that we could go visit a dentist. The nurse said that we could take the normal panadol (safe for pregnancy) but it could not stop the pain. Then we went to SGH Accident and Emergency (A and E) department to see the emergency dentist but the wait was too long and they do not have the equipment there.
"Chewing Gum" stops the pain
Then finally ... after some more google searching on the phone we finally found a 24hrs dentist! Thank god that someone at Flowerpod posted the contact of a dentist who provides 24 hours dental services. I rang up the dentist, who I think was sleeping at that time and he kindly agreed to meet us at his clinic. After some examination, he found out the problem and we did a root canal treatment to treat the tooth and save it. That was the first treatment and now Wing's tooth has a chewing gum like thing protecting her tooth. 2 more treatments to go and hopefully her tooth problems are over. Thankfully she does not feel any pain now.
For those who are desperately looking for a dentist late at night, you can look for Dr. Leong. I will copy the flowerpod user and post his website and contact details here he he. Good things must share right. =)
Dr H C Leong Dental Surgeon Tel: 9671 1096. Website: www.leongdental.com.sg Address: 8 EU Tong Sen Street #20-86 The Central (Office 2)
The clinic is really nice. Makes you feel at ease. Nice doctor, nice view, nice design.
I think fortunately (or maybe unfortunately =P) for him, there are quite a number of people who has called him at night because of the flowerpod post. The power of flowerpod he he. Thank you Dr. Leong! Without your help, I don't know what will happen. Wing finished the treatment at around 3am (!) and Dr. Leong was still very alert. As for me, I was sleeping like a pig while he was doing the treatment ... there goes my 4D winnings =P .....
Yesterday we went to the Mothercare fair at Harbour Front (must queue to go in!) to check out the prices for some of the baby items. Baby is due in June. Time to prepare for baby Wu!! She already bought a lot of stuff from Hong Kong though heh. Now we need a baby bed, stroller and some other stuff. A few more upcoming fairs at Takashimaya and Expo to go before buying. Hope we can get good deals.
Oh ya ..
Last Sunday, we ate dinner at Chomp Chomp and went to Night Safari with Wing's brother. My first time is more than 10 years I think heh. I shall end this post with a picture we took there. As it was dark and my camera is lousy at night, there are no pictures of real animals. Hope this will do ...
Hello there ... I'm back from my break from blogging due to work and play. It’s been a really busy past few months …. I have extra OT stuff to do at work, and at home, I need to help my father (and sometimes mother) with stuff and also need to tutor Miss O, my gf. I don't have much alone time to do my stuff, hence the lack of blog posts. I don’t even have enough time to watch my favourite local TV series, Fighting Spiders 2 :( … time for some catch-up TV on MSN or maybe mobtv on Mio (yes, I subscribed it for the English Premier league ....) when I have the time. Watching live Newcastle United matches is something I can’t live without, so that I will always find some time to watch he he. Singtel’s tv connection is not so fantastic though …
Luckily there is a long weekend this week due to (holiday) and I have some extra time to blog, just in time to tell you about this really exciting event coming up in a few weeks time ….
My previous workplace, Marina Bay Sands is going to have 2 really fine clubs opening next year at one of the crystal pavilion, and the iconic Avalon, one of the clubs (all the way from Hollywood) is going to have an event this month during the F1 Singapore Grand Prix!!
The event called GO!, which kick starts a series of events in anticipation of the grand opening will feature world famous DJs and acclaimed music performances, against the backdrop of artwork created by cutting-edge visual artists.

Are you excited?? I certainly am!! I’m really looking forward to this event and the opening of the 2 new clubs.
This is where you will be drinking and dancing at in 2011….
Shiok right?? Can’t wait for it to open ah!!!
I do not have much time to club these days but when I do, I would certainly make this one of my top destinations to club. =) I love what the 2 IRs (Integrated Resorts) are bringing to Singapore, casinos and all.
Speaking of IRs …
Despite my busy schedule, I also go out and have fun lah … but mostly (okay maybe all) with Miss O. Recently, we went to Universal Studious at the other IR, Resorts World Sentosa and had a great time there. It was actually my third time there (the previous 2 were trips to the casino :p).
It would be a waste not to go Universal studious when it is situated at your country right? No need to take expensive air tickets to other countries he he. Really good for cheapos and poor guys like me. Feel so proud looking at the Universal Studios globe right here in sunny Singapore. I think I felt a tear coming out from my eye when I stared at the globe for the first time ha ha. Taking a picture there is a must I think, and you don’t need to pay tickets to have a pic taken with the globe as it is situated outside he he.
Once you are inside, it’s like you are in a different world. Everywhere is so movie like with so many nice spots to take pictures. There are also lots of themed rides, shops and places to eat. There are 6 themed locations there … New York, Hollywood, Land of Far Far Away, The Lost World Jurassic Park, Madagascar, Sci-Fi City, and Ancient Egypt. All of themed are unique and will look familiar to movie lovers.
We explored the different location, tried the rides, shopped a little and ate a little (with the free voucher given along with the tickets). My favourite locations are Ancient Egypt and Land of Far Far Away. Both of them have the better attractions at the moment I think. I was a little disappointed with Madagascar and Sci-Fi City as the main rides were not available (although I’m not sure if I dare to ride the Battlestar Galactica at Sci-Fi city, the world’s tallest pair of dueling roller coasters :p).
There is more I can write about my trip but I think you should go there and explore the place for yourself (plus I’m getting a little sleepy already). There is one very important thing I have to tell you though …. Please bring along sunscreen and an umbrella when you are there …. Its super hot (stupid Singapore weather)!!! Will I go there again? Definitely…. but until more rides are available.
Now …
back to life at home …
and my Sakae Sushi Adventures!
As I have been busy these days, and do not go out as often as before (besides work), plus no one cooks at home, I order lots of home delivery for lunch and dinner. Besides the usual, McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut, I also order home delivery from other restaurants. Maybe I can make a list for home delivery I order in the future ….
For a healthier choice, sometimes we order Sakae Sushi. It’s less sinful (I think), although a little more costly. For Sakae Sushi, we usually order either the bentos or the party tray which comes with lots of sushi and wasabi and soy sauce and wet tissues and chopsticks. Recently they also have some new menu items … We tried 4 of the 6 new items (most with rather cute names) … Sakaelicious Cha Soba bento, Sugoi Crispy bento, premium sushi set and Chirpy Katsu bento. I ate the Chirpy Katsu bento which was really nice and my sis, mum and miss O ate the other 3. The new menu items are welcomed as we were actually quite sian of ordering the same old bentos over and over again. Do try it if you haven already done so :)
I’m feeling really tired now. Time for some rest. It’s back to work tomorrow after the long weekend. Now I have to work at 2 different locations throughout the week, every week …. Sian ahhhh. Hopefully, there is less work to do soon (fat hope).
When is the next holiday ah?
Oh yah, I bought an Ipad recently to pamper myself after working so hard he he. More about that next time :P I use for work and play and love it so much.
Blogged from My iPad pad
Joking lah … I still use my computer for some stuff.
P.S: Sian ah ... it seems like some of my images are not appearing in my previous posts ... my blog logo also gone :( .... hope it appears soon.
(Pictures Taken From: my camera and Avalon at Large)
Today is our 4 months anniversary …. 4 months of not updating you. :( I’m sorry that I have not touched you for exactly 4 months. I have finally have some free time from work and play and now I’m ready to once again update you. I have been too lazy busy that I have not even changed the boliasia.com header .... its still the Christmas edition!! A lot of things have changed since the last time I blogged. I changed job, found someone special, grew a little thinner than a little fatter etc etc ... I’m to lazy to go into details, but I guess you might be that interested anyway ..
Here are some of the picture updates for the past 4 months. Didn't really take much pictures so not many to post pai seh ....
and some other stuff .....
One thing that never changed during these times is my love for Sakae Sushi. I have been going to the outlets every once in awhile with my friends, family, and Miss O. I also order Sakae food delivery every now and then too when I am too lazy to go out. I like the new menu Some interesting new stuff they have there.
Sakae Sushi isn’t the only thing Sakae I ate recently ... I also went to Sakae Teppanyaki a few times and I really like it a lot! All the food I ordered tasted really good and it is really nice to see the food cooked right in front of you by the great chefs. The garlic rice is a must for every visit and if you have cash to spare, please get the foie gras. It is super nice can ....
I will try to blog a little more often in the future, but I think most of my posts will be shorter with less pictures, unless there is some major thing I’m covering. I am no longer that bo liao with nothing to do, but I try my best to update okay? =|
Oh man, it’s been a long time since I last blogged (again). Miss me?? (dun vomit) Training/work, exploring both the Mio TV and Hubstation HD setup boxes, playing Uncharted 2 on PS3, and celebrations and outings here and there have kept me so busy that I neglected my dear little blog. I have completed Uncharted 2 and there are lesser celebrations at the moment (until Chinese New Year) so I guess I have a little spare time to blog heh. I think I shall blog about what I did during the Christmas and New Year period …
I have already talked about Mio TV in my previous post so let me now talk about the Hubstation HD setup box which I received recently. As mentioned in my previous post, I got the hubstation HD free for 1 year and 3 months free subscription of the HBO pak after being the first few fans who responded to Starhub’s fan offer on their facebook page. =) The Mio TV box is also free as I signed up for the early bird special (free Champions League, Europa League and Serie A for the rest of the season!) he he. I love free stuff! Anyways, it my first time using hubstation and like the Mio TV box, I love it! I like how I can easily record any show anytime I want, and watch another show while recording it. I also like how I can record by series and record HD content in addition to standard definition programmes. It’s so easy to use and definitely very useful for those working and constantly missing their favourite tv shows. I can even rewind live tv!! It is something like Tivo right? Pai seh I never use before. Don’t call me sua ku!
HBO HD is also really cool. It’s HBO in HD!!! Ha ha. All the shows you see on HBO are shown on HBO HD at the exact same time, only much clearer! All the movies look so gooood ….. except the super old ones heh. And yes, you can record the shows on the Hubstation HD =) No need to buy blue ray movies or ahem download stuff and waste disk space heh. On to gaming .... I bought Uncharted 2 after selling 2 of my old games and I really like it! One of the best games on PS3 I feel. It’s been a long time since a game has kept me interested long enough to complete it lol. I played it on my new, super nice, LG W2486L monitor which I received recently (more about that next time) =) Since I have completed it, it’s time to sell it and get another game he he. What should I buy? Hmmm ….
Besides work, exploring Mio TV and Hubstation HD, playing Uncharted 2, I also had a Christmas BBQ with my UWA mates, watched a few movies, ate Sakae Sushi, played UFO catchers, and had some little drinking outing …
On most Christmas eves, I would usually stay at home and watch TV. I did something a little different this year … my UWA mates had a BBQ session at Pasir Ris Park on Chritmas eve. It was quite a last minute thing but luckily we managed to book a pit.
Everyone had to bring their own bbq item (potluck) and a gift to exchange. I made a poster for the event and posted it on Facebook events he he. We also had discussions there regarding food and stuff so as to avoid bringing the same food. Skali everyone bring hotdogs lol.
I ordered around 200 sticks of satay (my fav food of all time), lots of Otah, charcoal, fire starters, aluminium trays and some other bbq stuff from City Satay … great place to order from for lazy and car(less) guys like me. Fuss free, no need to think, just order and enjoy he he.
The satays and stuff arrived earlier than the planned bbq session starting time, so I went to the place early. My sis soon arrived and we sat at the BBQ pit and waited for the others to come. We didn’t want to start the bbq first out of courtesy …. erm no …. because we didn’t know how to start the fire lol. You know, I’m the kind of person who goes to a bbq just to eat and not cook. =P
Luckily for us and our noisy stomachs, Jun Wee arrived next and we found out that he is the bbq pro. We realised that we only had 1 thong for the food and no thongs for the charcoal, so poor Jun Wee had to use his hands to arrange the charcoal and use tissue papers to start light the fire starters. The BBQ would not be able to start without him man … thank you Master Chef. Luckily, back-up tongs arrived later, and we (okay Jun Wee) were able to add charcoals more easily.
So … besides the delicious satays, what other goodies were available at “The Christmas BBQ at the Pasir Ris from the PM to the AM”???
My sis brought stingrays and squids, Jun Wee and gf (now fiance :p) brought his mum’s specially marinated chicken wings and clams, Iska brought his home-cooked spicy fried rice. Wayne brought sweet potato, marshmallows and some beer, Weida and gf brought drinks, Shawn brought plates, cups and utensils, but was really late so we had to beg from other bbqers, Rayne and husband brought salad and some more beer and Ling Zhi brought Jelly dessert. There was one very important thing missing from the list of food …….. hotdogs!!! We had a discussion on Facebook to prevent everyone from bringing hotdogs and now we don’t even have a single hotdog lol. Is this the only bbq in the world without hotdogs?? The closest things we had to hotdogs were the Taiwan sausages brough by Darren. Only 2 packets though =P
We ate till 12 plus, wished each other Merry Christmas, and had the gift exchange session. I got a towel from Darren. I think I have the same set at home lol. We then tried to form words with the sparkers on the floor but failed miserably lol. Lucky we managed to take some cool looking shots with the help of Jun Wee (again). He adjusted some settings on my camera and we were able to take the pictures of the words “UWA XMAS 2009” formed by sparkers.
After that, we ate some more, drank some more and went home …. after packing the place up of course. Hope we can have some sort of gathering again next year. =)
The day after Christmas, I met up with shawn, Wayne and Iska after my training/work for a movie and chilling out session. Before the movie started, I continued my Sakae Sushi adventures by asking my friends to eat at the Sakae Sushi over at Citylink mall.
As usual we ordered chanwanmushi and drinks to start the eating session. Then we ate some red plates, fried tempura (Ebi), fried vegetables (Kakiage) and fried salmon. The main course was the Chicken Sukiyaki and some donburis (rice with food on top =P). It was my first time eating the Chicken version of the Sukiyaki (usually I eat the beef one), and I find that it tasted just as good as its beef version. The sweet soup is simply irresistible he he. It was a little weird eating at Citylink mall where lots of people are walking around though. I think if everyone were to order Sukiyaki and sit outside, it will attract lots of people to eat at Sakae. It smells so good.
According to the Sakae Sushi Facebook fanpage, they are going to come up with a new chawanmushi called the Ikura Chawanmushi!! I’m so going to try that when it comes out in the new menu.
After Sakae, we went to the UFO catcher paradise (dunno the name of the place - the place with lots of UFO catchers) at Marina Square and I saw a very interesting UFO catcher heh. It’s called Robo Catcher.
Instead of your usual UFO catcher way of “catching” the stuff toys, you are given some time to control a cute robot to lift the toys out of the barricade. You can try to lift the toys up as many times as you want within the time limit. In case you are interested, I took a video of the machine when Shawn was playing lol.
I think we spent more than 10 bucks on Robo Catcher and won nothing lol. In fact, I think I wasted around 20 dollars at that place without getting anything lol.
After wasting money at UFO catchers, we went to watch Sherlock Holmes. I was really tired by then and slept through half of the show =P The rest loved the show though, so I guess it’s my fault for being too sleepy. After the movie and my sleep, we went for some drinking talk cock session.
I had another drinking talk cock session with my sis and Wayne on Wednesday and spent New Year’s Eve at home with dad, mum and kimi counting down (as usual). Watched the countdown show on channel 5 and jumped around with coins in my pocket when it was 12am, 1st January 2010 for good money luck. I also ate some noodles as usual for long life. I know I’m very pan tang (superstitious). At least I managed to see some of the fireworks from my house even though it’s very far away from Marina. I also got to hear some nice songs from Da Mouth. One the songs Na Qu, has been stuck in my head for the past week man …
In case you missed it ...
I like the song and the dance sia =) Get it get it on get it get it on ..... na qu na qu na qu .....
On the very first day of the year 2010, I went to watch a Hokkien concert with my mum and Shawn.
The concert had actors from 2 of the Taiwan hokkien dramas on channel 8, Love 爱 and Unforgettable Memories 意难忘, which are very popular with aunties and uncles he he. I don’t watch the dramas but just accompany mother la lol. Some of them sang really well, some not so good, but I’m sure my mum and all the other uncles and aunties enjoyed the concert he he. For those who have watched the show or have someone in your house watching Taiwanese dramas, I’m sure you will find this song familiar ….
I ask sky I ask sky!!
It’s the main theme song of Love!! The guy who sang it was really good and it sounded exactly like the version I hear on TV every week! That was my highlight of the concert he he. At the end of the concert, everyone got on stage sang the song again lol.
Okay okay, I shall stop here for now (time to sleep!) … in my next post, I think I will tell you more about the really cool LG 24 inch monitor I received from recently. So big, so slim, so beautiful …..
P.S: I still love my HTC Hero!! Please download Handcent if you have an android phone .... its awesome!!
(Images Taken From: Katherine’s digital camera, my digital camera, my HTC Hero, Sakae Sushi Facebook)
Oh man …. It’s been a long time ( > 10 days!) since I last updated my blog. I have been so “busy” exploring Mio TV and the free programmes which will be available for 1 month. Want to watch English Premier League on TV next season so had no choice but to sign up for the Football Frenzy package. My family have to see which other channels (besides the football channels) are nice to decide whether we want to subscribe to them before the free preview ends he he. My favourite channel so far? WE TV. Too bad WE TV stands for Women’s Entertainment TV and I’m not a woman lol. To make myself feel less gay, I shall psycho myself to think that the word Women is actually “wo men (我们)” which actually means “We” in Chinese he he. Call me a laggard, but it is the first time I get to use Video on Demand and find it really useful indeed. I love it when some channels allow us to view their programmes anytime we want. Movies and tv series are available on demand too which is really cool. Hundreds of episodes of my mom’s favourite Taiwanese drama 爱, is available on one of the Video on Demand channels lol.
This Saturday, I will also have the chance to explore the Hubstation HD from Starhub with 3 months free HBO Pak subscription =) I actually get to use the Hubstation HD free for a year without signing any contract! Can’t wait to finally explore the Hubstation which also has Video on Demand. The hours spent camping at Starhub’s facebook fanpage has paid off lol. They have fan offers (TV, mobile, broadband) every week for those who become their fan on Facebook, you might want to check it out if you haven already. Some of the phones on offer are really cheap if you manage to be the lucky first few to click on the offer. Too bad I have just recontracted my plan and can’t get a new phone anytime soon. At least I got free Hubstation HD for 1 year and the HBO Pak which includes HBO on demand, HBO HD (yeah!) and some more for 3 months =) See .. I got good lobang I share with you okay. =p
Okay enough about my TV exploration …..
I have found some time off my “busy” schedule annnnnndddddddd it’s now time to finally wrap up my “End of School Life Special” with the final post of the series: My Bo Liao Guide to Forming a Good Project Group in School!
Showed you The Project House which was the base for most of my group meetings
Showed you MY Random Group Project Visuals including some individual ones
Showed you My Random Presentation Slides we used for presentations
Sooooooooo, how do you form a good project group in school?
By good I mean a project group which gets along well and do well in terms of getting good scores for projects. For me, having fun, while doing our projects are just as important as getting good grades. We shouldn’t form a group with the prime objective of being the best in terms of grades. Having a group consisting of all the top students might guarantee that you will be the highest scoring group (or maybe not heh), but if you do not get along well with the people in the group, what’s the point. No fun getting good grades when there is no group celebration after that right? Happiness is more important, so form a group with happy members first then aim to be the best after that.
How to gather people to form a group on the first day in school when most people don’t know each other? Just look at the person you hope to be in the same group as you, smile and give him or her the people’s eyebrow, point at the person and point back to yourself several times, nod your head and wait for their response. It may be a girl or guy you find attractive or someone you feel might have the same interest as you. Just try your luck and you might just end up in the same group and be lifelong friends or maybe even your future spouse ha ha. =)
After the first ever semester, forming a group with people you like will be much easier heh.
Note: I think it’s better to have a mixed group with guys and girls. If you have an all guy group, you might end up having too much fun and find it hard to complete the project in time and have to do lots of last minute work. Last minute project work might be fun, but too much will be torturous. =P Girls are usually more serious and hardworking, and will make sure work is done along the way. It’s impossible for me to be in an all girl group for obvious reasons (I’m a guy la!) but I feel that there might be a lot of tension and quarrels might occur on a regular basis. Of course, if you are comfortable with an all guy or girl group just go ahead and ignore what I have just written. Just my 2 cents, don’t flame me he he.
Different roles in a group you might want to have when forming future groups - once you get to know your course mates better.
8 roles not according to order of importance:
1. The brains
Have at least one above average student in your group heh. You don’t need to have a group filled with top students but if everyone in the group (including you) is clueless, good luck to you.
2. The one and only one group leaderEvery group needs a good leader who is respected. He must a good student who knows what the objectives for the projects are, how to solve problems and make decisions which all group members will accept. Try not to have a group where there is more than one person who wants to be the leader. There can only be one alpha male (or female) in a group as having 2 or more of them in a group might result in conflicts. Lucky for me, I have always been in groups with great leaders he he. I call them the boss.
3. The secretary of state
Assign someone to be the secretary who will take down all the important information during projects discussions and share the information with all group members. This person must be neat and organised, or else there might be a breakdown in communication.
4. The English teacher (or whatever language the project must be in)
This person must be good in English. The person will read through the whole compiled report to check if there are any typos, spelling or grammatical errors in the report and make it more cheem.
5. The joker
Even when everyone in the group gets along well, there might be conflicts during discussions due to difference in opinions. If you have a group member who is really funny, and will try to crack some jokes along the way or when he or she sense that something bad is going to happen, it will help in easing the tension. Jokers are usually very sporting and will be willing to sacrifice themselves to be the model in project visuals for the sake of the group.
6. The creative director
This person must have lots of lame ideas to contribute during project discussions. Out of hundreds of lame ideas, one might actually be really good and will make your project legendary. Beware of the mood swings the creative directors might have every now and then, especially when everyone doesn’t like his ideas.
7. The makeup artist
Although the content of the main report is very important, the way the report is presented, the extra accompanying visuals and the presentation slides will help your report stand out from the rest. This might earn you some brownie points and gives the marker the impression that you have put in a lot of effort into the project. The first impression is really important heh. The makeup artist must be proficient in MS Office applications and photoshop. If he or she has a mac and likes to design, it would be even better. I really like those presentation slides made using Keynote, its soooo cool. Wish I had one.
8. The others
The others.
Note: Some members can take on multiple roles. Everyone has to contribute in writing the report.
Once you have formed a group, find a great project meeting place where everyone can be comfortable in, like my project house. =P
You can’t always be in the same group due to change of classmates and schools, but you can try to observe your current members to see what roles they can be in, and try to suggest to them or to the leader during the first few project discussions. Once you get to know more people in school by making friends, getting to know more friends from the friends you made, listening to gossips at places like the canteen, tutorial rooms, lecture theaters and secret smoking corners etc, secretly liking a certain guy or girl, then you can try to be form your dream team or squeeze into one.
Once everything is in place ……………
Have fun and get to know your group mates better!! I love doing school projects!!
(The poster Sean (me) has done over 30 group projects, and has been in around 10 different groups in his poly and uni. Most of the time happy and scoring well. Please don’t flame him if you disagree with anything in his Bo Liao guide. Please ignore typos and grammatical errors as he is lazy to read through what he has just written)
I have finally completed my “End of School Life Special" series!! Just in time for the next chapter of my life … Chapter 3: W.B.M (Working fulltime before marriage). Yes, I have actually found a fulltime job last month and will be starting very soon! =) Won’t be blogging about my job though in case there is a conflict of interest. I don’t mix business with pleasure he he.
Time to continue my TV exploration!!
P.S 1: Watched Broadway Beng and loved it. I ask sky, I ask sky ……
P.S 2: Starhub finally brings in the iPhone and gives it 17 free TV on mobile channels after I sold my iphone …. Oh man. Lucky I can watch Tv on Mobile on My HTC Hero too sia. I guess TV on Mobile will look really nice on the big screen iPhone has. Lucky new Starhub iPhone users ….
It’s my sister’s birthday today. Happy Birthday Jiayi!!! May all your wishes come through and your luck be power-uped. =)
Today is also the day I post the second last part of my End of School Life Special. Sorry for the long wait from the previous post of this series, I had other things to post about. Although the header states Part B (Random Project Visual Part 3), it’s actually the second last part of this series as I have already finished Part C. For every part in the series so far click here. I have already explained what this part is about. If you want to read what I wrote again please go to my End of School Life Special: Part B (Random Project Visual Part 1).
In this part of the series, I post the rest of the random visuals I did in school. Some are made very long ago (years) some quite recently. So let’s see the boliao random visuals I did during school shall we …..
Let the action begin!
First is a set of posters for my poly’s open house. I made the poster for my course. Looking at them now, it doesn’t look very nice he he …
Here is a poster a made for one of the subjects during my poly days. We were suppose to make some public awareness poster I think. Can be regarding anything and I chose my favourite place … the toilet. This poster should be placed at all Male public toilets in Singapore!!!
This is an Electronic Direct Mailer I made during my internship at Tangs marketing department. I sent this out on the second last day of my internship and the response was great! I got really nice gifts in return so the treat was worth it. =p Joking joking, even if no one gave me any gifts it would still be worth it as I had a great time there and learnt a lot.
This is a logo I made for our imaginary brand for our advance e-commerce subject.
My group used a Dilbert comic strip for a visual illustration for one of the topics and made a service blueprint for a company for our Consumer Services and Retailing module.
We were required to come up with a phone and market it and thus the birth of the hPhone … too bad watching TV on Mobile wasn't one of it's features he he.
Our lecturer wanted us to market Popiah in a foreign country and the country that my group got was Japan (my favourite of the lot!). I like this visual a lot as I think it’s the cutest of them all he he. I like to act cute can.
I had to draw the turnip mascot (inspired by Mario’s turnip) on a piece of paper and trace it out without the pen and board thingy. It was troublesome but I like the process and the outcome =). Not sure about the accuracy of the Japanese translation though. It supposed to be something like “wrapped turnip” in Japanese.
That’s all for the Random Group Project Visual Part i.e part 6 of the End of School Life Special. Hope you enjoyed it. Visuals are usually not required for projects unless stated but we make them anyway for brownie points =P Although they look very amateurish, I had a lot of fun making them he he.
One more part to go!! Next part …… My Bo Liao Guide to Forming a Good Project Group!! (I dunno what to write sia)
P.S: Please note that these slides are for our school projects, and the companies mentioned are not involved in what we have included in our projects. Cheers. =P
