<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was a blistering hot day, the day I've made my first step towards my career of choice ~ art. Induction into then one of the few art colleges around, known to be one of the more creative and diverse pushing creativity in design, architecture, fine arts, advertising and digital media. I have never felt more excited going to "school" a school where I don't feel like an odd ball as everyone else was that "kid" who drew at the back of the class. The arty and creative, nerds of nerds, we all enjoyed geeking out on games, manga, film, anime and all things "normal" kids would shun away. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In a way it was a dream come true to be free and express myself creatively with my peeps, people who support and not having to worry about being ridiculed for being different, being some one who has to take risk and breaking the boundaries and convention of our culturally conservative. Pushing ourselves and each other to be better at our crafts, learning to give and take criticism so that one day we would follow the foot steps of our peers, peers of the past, peers who set the foundation of arts we all have the leisure to learn from and follow so that maybe one day we young lings could reach for the stars and reach our goals, to fulfill our dreams. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mine? ~ Gun Dream : Battle Angel Alita. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Was the 1st manga I <strike>read</strike> picked up and watched the pages flow, and boy did it blow my puny 10 year old mind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Maybe one day some one will make it, maybe I'll make it? That was the goal set that day I step through those doors, I would work my way to one day fulfill my dream, after all it's just a dream right? A target so far away and unreachable, a nice goal to try to achieve, something to strive for, something to hope for. It was wishful dreaming.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">May 2003....</span><br />

<div style="border: 0px;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i>"What I like about it is that when we first meet Alita she's very young, she's sort of almost pre-pubescent in a way, and she actually matures throughout the story. I like that, that the development of her mind actually affects her physicality. There's a lot of really great things about it, and there's a lot of things ? whether the artist really intended them or not ? that I read into it, and so I think it'll be a good fusion of what Kishiro created and how I would do things." </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;">"The manga is very episodic and very discordant ? it's not internally consistent, meaning sometimes she looks like one thing and has one set of abilities, and at the whim of Kishiro he'll go off on a whole different tangent. It needs to be fused and focused and given a centralised storyline. But the character will be very, very true to Alita as she is in the manga." </span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;">"Motorball might find its way more into the second film ? I definitely want to do more than one film. I want to create a world and a character that can go through at least one more film, possibly more. And that's not just for the classic financial reasons, it's just that I think there's a possibility for a real mythology here, so I feel that this is a good canvas to do something big that's got more scope." </span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>"Battle Angel is a very real possibility, and that's the film that I fully intend to direct, that I *will* direct ? the issue is will it be the next film, or will it be the one after the next film? That's really all there is to it at this point. We've done a tremendous amount of design for the film, we're fine-tuning the script, it's just a matter of time.", says James Cameron. </i></span></span></span><br />

<br />
*Tick ~ Tock ver.2.0<br />
<br />
<br />
Days turn to night,<br />
Day in day out it's flight or fight,<br />
My fruits of labour sours, where's the light,<br />
My source of power, my dreams at night.<br />
<br />
Seasons bloom into years, I truly fear<br />
Missing the only boat, unfurling at the seams,<br />
Reasons of fear; Time crawls up my rear,<br />
Snickering, oh they gloat, as I yearn for my dreams,<br />
Grinning ear to ear, their intentions clear,<br />
My goals are so far fetched and it's no where near,<br />
Their long slim grin, truly a sin.<br />
<br />
I push on, blood, sweat and tears.<br />
I push on, but I fear<br />
Shattering my mind, fragmented by Time,<br />
Pressure of Time, slowly losing my mind,<br />
My only actions are mine,<br />Rushing on, my life on the line.<br />
<br />
Like the sentence in this line,<br />
Optimism in the mundane I find,<br />
To lift me up, to not give up,<br />
To scream fuck fear and crawl out of my dump,<br />
<br />
My hearts pounding, my psyche pumped,<br />
It's now or never, times run out.<br />
The last push I make, is the last bullet I'll take,<br />
Gambled my life for my dreams, I sailed across the lake,<br />
I held my breath ~ approached The Gate,<br />
The thoughts of standing in my very own wake.<br />
<br />
The longest breath I took,<br />
The farthest goal in sight,<br />
There I stood, my body shook,<br />
My dreams, The Dreams I dreamt that night.<br />
<br />
All those feelings of regret,<br />
All those remorse and tears I've shed,<br />
All those stares, the glares I get,<br />
All in time will I never forget.<br />
<br />
Here I stand.<br />
<br />
The boy in the man.<br />
<br />
Here, me, I am....<br />
<br />
<br />
Flash Forward ~ 2018 Sept 27th, Ports B, Windy Wellington, NZ.<br />
<br />
... Here, I am.<br />

It's that time again, culling season and time to replan and schedule my goals.<br />

Guess it'll be 7 years from now when I look back when times weren't actually as bad as they seems to be.<br />

This particular one really shows an extremely pure and honest expression change from sullen to intrigued and finally appreciation. Really great subtle expression changes, yet so effective.<br />

Firstly I'm no ballet fan but there was something in that short sequence where the main ballerina was just so mesmerizing to watch. she was graceful and smooth but not soft, there was power in her movement and every thing was timed and executed with intent, but it just flowed so well. Just watch her arms, it feels weighted but light at the same time, the drag and overlap is so well controlled and her finger poses just accentuates her arm movements even more.<br />
<br />
And I really like the song and band, enjoy!<br />

In short what had happened was that there was a lot of mis~communication/organisation in the Ticket Availability and where to purchase/collect the tickets. The lack of advertisement banner display at the makeshift booth regarding Ticket purchase for EUFF sc<br />
reenings yet there were so many posters around but non at the actual ticket booth. Just by having the Seat Availability as Sold Out would have made potential general audience from asking any further questions regarding EUFF screenings when in fact there was a stack of free tickets to be given out if you had asked.</div>

I was so very eager to catch Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist with Great Expectation film screening at GSC 1Utama this Saturday(19th/11) afternoon. To my surprise all the tickets were sold out in bold red letters when I got to the queue. I was already hesitating if I should just go home after being stressed out getting stuck in a jam just to catch this film which was sold out. To my luck they mentioned that it was redeemable for free at a counter at the entrance of the cineplex, apparently it was just a survey booth. I had to queue up a second time at the ticketing counter before they eventually pointed me to the right make shift table counter to redeem the tickets. Honestly it was quite an embarrassing sight; just a make shift table with no banners of any kind to advertise EUFF 2011, even though they had posters all over the place but non at this very important booth. A person passing by would have thought they were selling cotton candy as the booth was situated next to one. I was surprised again when the person in charge told me that I had printed out the wrong form to collect this particular screening, at that point I was pretty much about to just leave but since the screening has already started and I had explained to him that I was rushing to catch this screening that he kindly gave me both the screening tickets, for which I am grateful for. I was kinda irritated though that there was still a giant stack of tickets for those 2 screenings yet on the film time schedule display stated that it was sold out. True enough both screenings only had a handful of people, approximately a dozen which was maybe 8% of the hall seating and it was a small hall. </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway after all the fuss, I did enjoy both films as it's the first time I watched a Silent Black White and a classic Black White film. I was happy to have caught a screening of Sophie Scholl as well, it was a great film, one of the best films I've seen this year. Thanks for 2011 and I'm looking forward to EUFF 2012 but with better organisation.</div>

<div>
Sophie Scholl is a must watch for facial and emotional studies, as well as a lot of secondary actions and small subtle gestures in a very stiff body motion. Lot's of slow intense interrogation drama with subtle facial changes which portrays the characters emotions.</div>
