Nadeshiko Club





Reo-chan, a first year girl, gets dumped by her boyfriend because she’s not skilled in the home economic traits women should possess in his mind. Her ex tells her that she must apply to a home economics club before he reconsiders going out with her. Therefore, Reo-chan has little choice but to join. But there’s a catch: the only members are four gorgeous bishies. The other first year in the club, Irinaka, competes with her a lot. As the story progresses Reo and Irinaka get forced into a lot of interesting situations together and, in the meantime, become closer and closer.

********

yesssss more shoujo manga!!! 8D I came to like this one. It's filled with comedy, friendship, life stories, romance and school life. Not only does the drawing looks...well...cute to me, but the story and the message that the manga-ka tried to say is quite clear and very good for those who still can't decide on what path to choose after they finish studying. The main girl character reminds me a lot of myself haha xD somehow i can see the similarities (except that she got a boyfriend....CHIEEEH!!! and she got dumped before~ lalala~)

so yeah...that's my manga pick for today!!! 8D

status : on going (7 volumes all in all..it on the 5th volume now)
scanlated : Perfect Illusion (and it's an active project!)

can't wait!!! >w<

now off to work! OTL

Gifts


"LIFE IS HOW YOU LIVE IT, NOT HOW YOU SPEND IT"

True. Finally watched the movie till the end. (after replaying for like... more than 6th times while waiting for it to finish download. I even memorized some of the lines already LOL) This is one of the greatest movie i have ever watched! Eventhough it's not as popular as other hit movies out there, but this is one of those movie that i won't mind spending my money on.

{ About the movie }

The Ultimate Gift is a film based on author Jim Stovall's bestselling novel. Eventhough it didn't reach box office hits, but the DVD selling is quite high. 

When his rich grandfather, Red Stevens died, Jason thought he was going to inherit a piece of the old man's multi-billion dollar estate, but it came with a condition. In order to get his share of the willed inheritance, Jason must complete 12 separate assignments within a year. Each assignment is centered around a "gift". The gifts of money, friends and learning are among the dozen that Jason must learn before he is eligible for the mysterious "Ultimate Gift" his grandfather's will has for him.

I would LOVE to list down all the gifts name... but i think it's best to sort of guess and have that "oooh!" feeling you know xD

Yup, it's a must watch for me. I learned a lot from this movie.... I AM SOOOO GONNA BUY THE BOOK!!! OAO TOMORROW!! YES! i wonder if they sell the DVD here in Malaysia. hmm..

{ THE BOOK }

randomly random things~


Once upon a time... a cat was walking around the forest... and it's hungry~

Then it stumbled upon a... deliciously weird looking object...

And it swallowed it...

And then...I'm not sure why... the cat did a flip on his backside... and you can see the name of the owner.....(must be the weird thing it ate just now)

After the incident, he decided to stick with mouse.

Hey i know it's lame... but i ran out of ideas. which is not a surprise... hmmph... did a Tablet cover for my white coloured bamboo fun. (just for the sake of finishing my felts) LOL! i hade fun tho~ xD ain't he adorable!!! *slapself*

time taken : well it took me 2 days... on and off...
inspiration : random scribbles and pirates of the carribean:the curse of the black pearl soundtrack 8D it's AWESOME I TELL YOU!!!!

yeaa... anybody want 1? 8D have to pay me tho~~ lalala~

***********************

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR PEOPLE!!!! 8D

i was left alone by my housemates....yes... ruthless people they are *kena tampar* 8D oh well~~ 

some random stuff..... I was requested by Judy to post this one up _-_ ;;;; now the whole world officially knows what i really did in class 8D (and i was sitting rite in front where the lecturer stand~~ lalalala~)

My partner in crime for marketing class... in order (left -> right)

WEB DESIGN2 - sitemap n moodboard

So this is the site map for the website that i'm gonna redesign for Anakku. I cut down some of the pages and took the ones that i think is important (and lesser for me to do xD running out of time people!!!!!! OAO )

*LOOK!!! a colored sitemap!!! homgwtfbbqayamasakkari*



and this is the moodboard. I've been thinking of making the web look more friendly and soft. More organic designs perhaps? but i have to keep reminding myself that this is a commercial web =A= ; so can really put a lot of childish elements now can I? so maybe I'll just change all the human pictures with hand drawn ones? well except for certain parts. Well i'm not sure yet!! lets see what the lecturers will say after critic today.

*make use of the branding color xD*


p/s Pirates of the Caribbean sountrack is SUPER AWESOME!!! d(O_O)b makes me feel so CEMAS! LOL!

WEB DESIGN 2 - ASSIGNMENT1 (PART1)

For my final project in this class, i will be doing a redesign job for anakku website. Here is how the original web look like :

{ CLIENT'S WEB }

So... :

-Basically, In this project, i'm gonna redesign the clients website. The layout for the webpages needs a new refreshing & interesting look. But it won't stray far from the corporate or the branding identity color schemes. 

-The website is quite user friendly. Just that there are some broken links problem, and there should be a control over the song playing on the main page which keeps on repeating non stop.
-Links for competitions related stuff should be more interesting and eye catching so that people will want to click it. Maybe add some flash elements?
-The "customer care hotline" at the bottom are a bit hard to read because of the color.

-This brand is a middle class position. Can be afforded by everybody.
-This brand is a home grown brand that has become so widely accepted. The wide range baby product, built on a strong, solid foundation of premium quality, safety and reliability can be found in most department store and major retail chains as well as having their own boutique.
-They also ventured to include a more comprehensive product range by introducing fashion war for babies and toddlers, feeding equipment, toiletries, diapers, accessories, strollers, playpens and more.
-As it grew, it realized the need to exceed expectations by featuring a one-stop baby center, thus a chain of anakku boutiques were established.

-Emphasize more on the highlight section, especially the new product available. For now the new product promotion page is the same like the normal product page.

-The target audience for the web is basically parents. The web provides information such as info on baby needs and other additional items to help your in raising your kids.
-They also gave services such as franchising for those who are interested. So the user will have a connection to not only the products but also the website.


{ COMPETITORS WEB }

- Can't understand the web. Should have english version of it so can have a wider target market.
- Words size are a bit small
- Product info consist of the price and discount price (if got)
- Can sort out the products according to colors which is an interesting way to interact with the audience.



- Product page not consistent
- Color of links (top right hand corner) not consistent. A bit hard to see which one is the visited link
- Link for "FORUM" directs user to the products/what's new. Confusing.
- There's nothing on the "LATEST PROMOTION" page
- But other than that, the colors are quite nice. Background pattern is interesting plus some additional toys around the border gives user some idea of what the site is about.




- Honestly, I think Johnson & Johnson's website is nice
- There's a search bar on top of the web
- 1 line of red where the main links are put on gives more focus to the user & easy navigation
- The "consumer product" par could be more interesting though




- Not consistent web page
- Designs are all over the place. Makes it look messy
- Information on products were made in JPEG format and were not properly arranged.
- The baby logo keep on blinking. (no point in making it blink)
*i think by the time i finished this one... somebody just updated the web. so it looked different but still... not much difference* 


{ NICE WEBSITE }

PRINGLES

- Vibrant colors

- Stated all the products there is

- Easy navigation

- A bit of flash here and there to make the web livelier

- There's also games for user to play



J.CO DONUTS



- I LOVE J.CO! 8D *cough*

- Very nice navigation on the main page (using donuts!! so clever! *_*)

- Information on the products are available

- Easy navigation

- There's a simple animation on each page to make the pages more lively



CHANEL



- Chanel~ mmm~ <3

- Nice choice of color for the web. It made the whole thing look so elegant (and of course, expensive)

- Clear navigation

- Can pick the product that you want + an even detailed look on the product. There is also information given on the product but there's no price mention. (well, we all know it is expensive whether or not they put the pricing)





- A very clear navigations
- a very interesting pictures shown on pages to not only fill in the space, but show the product as well
- A very clear information on the products
- An easy "contact us" forms were also provided!

***************



xD was googling for any updates on Rabu Kue manga... and homg xD my blog is one of the top in the finding results! hillarious!!! *ahem* OTL ;;

Rabu kue manga

well i'm not really the type that'll post about mangas and animes and stuff coz i only post that kind of topic when i feel there's something worth to talk about. so... today i'm gonna share this BL (BOYS LOVE) manga with you guys!! 8D

RABU KUE

This manga starts off with Akabane being sucked into a different world with a guy named Moriya and run into a girl who is a fighter named Marion. Apparently, only between the exchange of body fluids (i can't stop laughing when i read this words xD body fluids...LOL!!! ) between the two boys can power her up to fight against various monsters attacking. 

Mangaka : Hoshino Lily (I LOVE!!!!)
Genre : BL, shounen ai... (i wonder if it'll reach yaoi level in the future O_O '' hope not! OAO)
Status : Ongoing
Volume : 4chapters...





DON'T WORRY!!!! no explicit content inside!! trust me! the "exchange body fluids" (ROFL) can be quite deceiving! xD hahahahha!!! (not to forget hot megane guy!!(guy wearing specks!! 8D homg!! )

this is just the type of manga that can spark up my interest in drawing manga again!! i just don't know why!!! but i feel very 'bersemangat' to draw manga when i read this manga!!! yes! THIS MANGA ROCKS!!!!! can't wait for the latest chapter to be released!!! ;w;

YAY!!!!! 8D

More like "Being an a*sh*le"

Being Nasty, Saja Mau Cari Pasal

As always I was having my meal alone again, at some food court in some shopping complex. I was not in my best of mood. It is more like a state of mood I am in most of the time.

There is this lady who came near my table asking for permission to take some empty chairs over to her table.

Lady, pointing to the empty chair: Ada orang ke? (”Is there someone?” *in Bahasa Malaysia)

Me: Lei kong mat chat? (”What are you talking about?” *in rude Cantonese)

In Malaysia, most Malays cannot understand the Chinese language. However, most other races can understand and speak fluent Bahasa Malaysia. The Malays are often very reluctant to speak in other languages than theirs. Even if they speak in the English Language, they will have accent, with their own flow and generous fare of lah’s. I am not in the mood to make her understand, not this time.

The lady was taken back slightly and looks quite surprise at my response. Somehow she summed up her courage to ask again.

Lady, pointing to the empty chair: Ada orang ke? (this time much louder)

Me: Ni Mah Ter. Ni suo seh meh? (Some vulgarities and “What are you talking about?” *in Mandarin)

She scoffs and walks off.

Moral of the story? There is none actually, just fed up.


aurelia put this link in twitter --> http://www.emporiumblog.com/
which belongs to a guy who posted that thing up there u_u ;

I'm really pissed by this guy... He's a jerk that have no self respect. I mean like...what's the point of him doing that to the lady? (at least he addressed her LADY =_= ) Is it just me or can i sense some hint of racism in this act? It is clearly an insult to this lady. What would you feel if something like this happened to you!!!?? 

This BRILLIANT act of his I think is one of the reason why people with a particular race scrutinizing other races. VERY BRILLIANT move *applause* childish... seriously i was shock that this type of human being really do exist!! (hey.. i know there's A LOT of rude jerks out there...but this is the 1st time i really encounter a guy like this...) and he even blogged about it!!! Is he proud of his act?! homg =_= Malaysia will be a more decent country without this type of human roaming around. what da fish =_= and what's the point of opening a blog if all you wanna do is telling the whole world you have a very very very depressing/ irritating life?!!! how can you not be like that if your attitude itself is rotten enough? what's the point of passing others your depressed life?!!! geez!! wake up man!! if you wanna seek attention, there's a more decent and respectable way of doing it!!!! it disgust me...

Reading his blog is a waste of time =_=. I don't even wanna reply on his blog!! feel like slapping him in the face and feed him with the food called "respect". 

p/s O_O i hope this post looks ok in window's computer. somehow when i edit this, the words became huge!! O_O lol!
