| My 1st Hebe tee design! |
| Tuesday, January 18, 2011 |
 The final product!
I made it quite subtle that if you didn't take a closer look, you will thought that it is some average design at the front of the tee but if you take a closer look, you will see that it is actually a picture of Hebe cropped inside her own english name.
This picture is actually a fashion shot of Hebe taken from a fashion magazine. I chose it simply because it looks 'fashion' plus the color is just perfect for a noir-sepia tone to be incorporated with either a black or white tee. The font was carefully chosen so that her eyes and mouth are not cropped out.
 Pre-production preview visuals
Initially I have a hard time deciding to print on a black tee or a white tee. Although the design will stand out more on a black tee but in the end I go ahead with the white tee, simply because the overall visual felt more 'fashion'(again) on a white tee.
* I have friends and Hebe fans who wanted the tee... but I don't think I will be printing it for sale. ;p
I showed Hebe the tee at the autograph session, she was pretty surprised and used a sweet innocent voice(I can sense much gratitude in it) to say 'thank you' to me. So naturally, I was surprised by her reaction too... or should I say 'mesmerized' at the same time. Hehe... I was being mesmerized so much that I mistakenly shake her left hand with my right hand... lolx (Her left hand was facing down, not sideway... and my right hand was facing up, so it looked like her left hand was placed on top of my right hand) XD... Besides that, I have also forgotten to ask her if she can sign on my tee! Really regret that I didn't ask... I am pretty sure that this will be the 1st ever tee she ever signed on if she did... and I would have had the tee framed up, for being the one and only tee design available in this world with her signature on it.
So... not a bad birthday I had afterall. But sigh... how come I have a feeling that I am becoming more and more like a fan... zzzLabels: Graphic Art, Hebe |

| My logo in a white color scheme |
| Saturday, July 31, 2010 |
This will be roughly how it looks if I ever changed my black color scheme of my blog(etc) into a white one. The diagram around my logo is from the logo of Blades & Barrels.Labels: misc |

| The dish that I often cook |
| Wednesday, June 23, 2010 |
Today's menu:
Western Fried Rice with Tempura Chicken Nuggets
Some have asked: "What is Western Fried Rice?". It is fried rice with the addition of garlic & butter as ingredients, their rich favour added an extra touch for a western taste.
However... I seems to have forgotten to buy chilli sauce for the nuggets...Labels: Home Cooked Food |

| Confession #02 - An Ocean Lover |
| Tuesday, May 18, 2010 |
I love to swim since I was a kid and I always asked my parents to bring me to the swimming pool during the weekends. I just love the feeling of moving in the water, like I can move in any direction I want. Unlike walking on ground, we can only move on a horizontal plane but swimming is different. Well, if I can fly perhaps I will love it more than swimming. (laughs)
I remember there was once when my family brought me on a tour to the Maldives, oh boy... how I love the ocean there, the clear water, the coral reefs etc made me so fascinated that I just have to swim every single day when we were there. That trip is the reason why I became an oceanologist. Well, it is not like I dislike land animals though, there is a particular animal that I like, which is the snake. I like their smooth shiny scales and the way they move. I remember when I was a kid, I once asked my teacher this question “Why do snakes swim on the ground, teacher? They should be swimming in the sea” haha... how ignorant I was, a kid is a kid ya. Perhaps it is because how they move, made me likes them.
Since young, I have a cheerful nature and a positive attitude. I have never fail to keep trying after failures and I always look on the bright side of things. Although I might be cheerful most of the time but I often feels sad when I get to know that the sea animals are being hunted and killed, like the sharks are hunted for their fins etc. I wish I have the authority or the power to stop all these cruel acts. Ya, I know it is for consumption or even business but... but it is just not right to do such things... it is just cruel. With that said, now I am not even sure if breeding chickens, ducks or pigs etc for human consumption is a right thing or not... sigh. Oh well... When I am upset by things like that, it is my friends and colleagues who are the ones cheering me up instead.
Talking about colleagues, they always say I am the prettiest girl in the company, and they even submitted an application to a model search without my knowledge! They encourage me to try and to get more exposure... well, I went for the fun of it and although I did not win, it was a nice experience. I was contacted soon after by LUSH magazine to be their in-house model. I was thinking of rejecting the offer since I went to the model search competition for the fun of it and moreover I like my present job as an oceanologist, so I told them that I already have a fulltime job but to my surprise, they are willing to have me on a freelance basis if I can’t be their fulltime in-house model. Well, it doesn’t hurt to try new stuffs, furthermore my family, friends and colleagues are all very encouraging, saying that they will soon see me in the catwalk on tv. (laughs) So there I go, modeling for LUSH magazine. My latest job is a series of magazine-ad promoting a new cyber-chic fashion: the Headphone Bra. Hmm... interesting piece of fashion, isn’t it?
Oh ya! The model search competition is also the place where I first met my fiance. He is a businessman, his company is doing some sponsorship thingy for the model search competition at that time. I seldom ask about his work, so I don’t really know the details. I only know that he is a nice guy, been very good and nice to me... that is all I need to know =) Besides being nice, he is also quite charimatic and that made him the target of many other girls. Others often asked if I am worried that he might leave me for someone else, I always reply that he has a choice of whom he wants to be with, and if he chose to be with someone else, I will respect his decision but if he is with another girl while being in a relationship with me, then of course I won’t accept that. I will be very sad and I don’t know what I will do.
We have been together for quite a while now and plan to get married soon, so I hope nothing goes wrong and happiness will be with me all the way.

| Cleo - LUSH magazine covers |
| Friday, April 02, 2010 |
 version 1
 version 2
 raw version
LUSH magazine cover featuring Cleo wearing the all-new fashion gadget: the Headphone Bra! lol... The inspiration came after I was searching for a song in Youtube, and it happened that the picture being used is a girl covering her breasts with a headphone. Anyway, I was thinking of doing a magazine cover for her, so this discovery came at the right time and sparked it all.
I should be designing a few more Headphone Bra, will have her wearing them as in pages of the magazine or poster etc... so keep it a lookout ya!
Hmm.. perhaps I should also add and show an earphone wire connection to the Bra, as if it can really play MP3! LOL...Labels: Blades and Barrels, Cleo, Graphic Art, LUSH |
