Get in Shape!



I have started swimming again! once per week for 2 weeks already! :D Why? because sometimes I ask myself, "why is it hard to breathe sometimes? I DON'T SMOKE!!", "what sport have I been doing regularly since high school?". Plus, after that car accident last year, swimming was recommended to prevent/heal any potential injury. Frankly, I am not used to swimming anymore. I remembered I used to swim alot from gr.2 to gr.5. It's been 10+ years! The position and technique are all forgotten. Since I am (trying to be) serious in swimming again, I've got to improve my gesture! Therefore, I checked out some videos on youtube.



I can pretty much checked all the faults on the list. :P
Now I have the solution, it's time to pay more money and get me fixed!
While searching for swimming technique, I also searched for swimming animation. And this is the most decent one out of the trillions results.



how lame....=_=..

So, I went to this event with my friend on saturday night. The event was okay. It's not something that makes me WOW. Throughout the "party", it's pretty much just having multiple colours of light shining on walls, not much interaction involved. Some of them were very similar to what I did at SFU 2 years ago, setting up interaction which communicates with the "audience" by using different sensors. My favourite would be drawing on a huge touch screen (God knows how much that's worth), and projecting whatever drawn on the wall. It's like a light Graffiti, which is legal. Even though the concept is not complicated, it's pretty~:P. Well, it was nice to see families having a great time on the street in Vancouver during night time, other than drunks and druggies. It's something that you'd rarely see. I hope this will become an annual event, because there is still plenty of room for improvements. :)

Lack of Brain Juice

This reminds me of why I don't like talking to not-so-smart, yet stubborn people.
$0.002 =/= 0.002 cents!!!!!!!

"I Love Thursdays!"

So..this is my first time staying for the entire 6.5 hours in between 2 classes, starting from 12pm - 6:30pm. I must say it was not as productive as I expected. After the first 2 hours of modelling my environment for the animation assignment plus some modelling during the early 3 hours class. I was completely stoned. I start jumping around and saying random crap. I guess I have not been working at one spot for a long time since last year when I worked full-time. No wonder digital arts companies are more laid back than most other companies. I guess they really need to stop themselves from concentrating at the monitor for too long. Anyways classmates, remember to STRETCH!!!

w00t! Procrastination for Marks!!

well, this is for marks in one of the classes.
This is going to be an online showcase on whatever I am working on.

So, what happened on the romantic Valentine's weekend?
My brother and I bought a game called Left 4 Dead on Steam Cilent! It's 50% off by the way on the past weekend. I got addicted to this game after playing it once in a net cafe the other day. Hopefully by the end of this year, I will have an opportunity to participate in a game production.
By the way, my SteamID is J-Ranger (under jamescheu). ADD ME!!!!!



mmm...yeaa....8-)...
I will post up my WIP as soon as I have decided to NOT procrastinate.
so....Stay tuned for more action! :P
