NUJABES, R.I.P

I was hoping I could save this post for finally finishing my finals (not including graduation campaign) and having our freedom!! (don't count in graduation campaign lol) but as I logged into MSN today, saw a friend's status saying that Nujabes had passed away.

my heart and creative soul cries for him.

taken from here

Nujabes, or real name Seba Jun (Nujabes was his real name spelled backward actually for those who doesn't know) died in a car accident in Tokyo, somewhere around February and was just announced yesterday, 18th March 2010. He was only 36 years old when the tragedy happened. He was a really private person person, so nobody really know he has died.

this Japanese hip-hop producer was the founder of Hydeout Productions, as well as the owner of two Tokyo record stores, Guinness Records and T Records. He also contributed songs for the anime Samurai Champloo, which is one of my all time favourite, which has a mixture of old samurai days plus hip hop.

Nujabes was (and still is) one of my favorite artist. I could listen to his songs for HOURS non stop. I honestly feel very sad. There will be no more songs composed by him in the future.

Rest in peace Nujabes. You will always be remembered by your fans, especially me, for your contribution to the music industry, and amazing songs. Eventhough I know that nobody can continue what you did like the way you do it, but lets just hope somebody will continue your legacy. Your music will always have a place in my heart and my iTunes playlist, and it sure will continue to live on. R.I.P.

Hachiko

I knew at an instance when i watched the movie "Hachiko:A dog's story", it will leave a very deep impression on me.

No, I am not gonna talk about the movie in this post (maybe just a bit), but the real life story of Hachiko.

A story about loyalty between a dog to it's owner. Hachiko a pure Akita breed, believed to have some connections with royalties (based on the movie), was brought to Tokyo by it's owner, a professor of some university. His daily routine was went out to work every morning, and came back in the evening by train. Hachiko will send him off every morning from home, and will wait eagerly for his master to return each day at the Shibuya train station itself. The routine continues until one day, the professor was attacked by stroke in the university. He died and never returned to the train station where his loyal companion waited patiently each day.

Hachiko was eventually given out to a new owner, but often escapes to get back to the train station, and wait for his master's return. Each day Hachiko waited for the professor. Each day, he did not see even a glimpse of his friend among the other passengers and commuters.

People who often saw Hachiko and the professor together, never stops nourishing Hachiko by providing food.

The wait lasted for 9 years and Hachiko only appeared precisely during the arrival time for the evening train. A bronze statue was build to remember his loyalty and devotion to his master.

Hachiko died on a street in Shibuya.

I am not even a dog lover but I was really touched and awed by Hachiko's loyalty towards his master. His master must've been one heck of a guy! It's just impossible to not cry when you watch the movie itself.

I learned a great deal about loyalty today, and all thanks to a dog. Makes me really wonder about humans' level of loyalties. hmmpph.

for those who never watch the movie, i super duper highly recommend it to you.

gnite everybody. gnite Hachiko.

not in the mood

to draw =A= i just don't know why. i can't seem to make even 1 decent artwork today. maybe i should take a bath, then sleep. sleep like there's no tomorrow!!!!

sigh. was actually imagining the kid drawing to be more... nice. but it just turned out like crap =A= i think i'll leave it for a rest. continue tomorrow, or sometime later. yeah. duwanna force myself.

making of Young Warren Buffett

and he himself was not even there!!!!!!

ok, this post is seriously filled with rants and complaints xD I'm sorry if I offense anybody u_u

pronounce as Ba-phet (like pro-phet), seriously. I can never think of any other worst form of torture other than this!!! TRAUMA!! OAO I can't imagine how those people do it!! talk about investment, forex, portfolio... and other things!! I thought I am gonna die!!!!! it's like, a HUGE veil was put in front of my eyes! I can't see anything creative!!! OMG!!! i really thought I was gonna die!!!!!

we arrived there a bit late since we slept late 8D took taxi... arrived... feeling underdressed.. =_= REALLY underdressed. a lot of people wearing black colored suits. and we were wearing like wat, jeans, t-shirt, and for my part, bright blue colored shirt ;D and lovin' it! WE ARE DESIGNERS!! we don't do boring funeral clothes!! (no offense xD) so we pick seats that are quite near to the stage. sat down for awhile... feeling sleepy. then Doreen went out to get some coffee xD so we (me n orilia) were stuck in there, and they showed this corporate video with TRANSFORMERS soundtrack + clips from HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL =_= right then, i just knew this talk is going to kill me. if only my jaw can drop, it'll fall to the ground and roll down the stairs. but I am a patient dude ;D so i stayed (and suffered) then....I went out. eat some hard sandwiches + tea. *sigh* then went back in again. wrote down some notes... then started to drift off.

the proof is a drawing of me, walking... and a bird. I found it more enjoyable than listening to the speakers talking about things that i can't understand, and cold life threatening jokes from the emcee. When it reached the part where she asked those people who wants to answer questions after each talks (and receive presents when ever they got it right), to say "I'm a young buffett..." before each answers, I started to block my brain from anything related to the event. I became a rebel. seriously. proof?

i drew portraits of my companions instead. (dun worry orilia, i didn't put in your awesome drawing here ;D cept for that one *points*) me. a rebel. can't believe it. then I fell asleep and not even feeling guilty. seriously. there's a part where they were talking about portfolios, but i really can't understand a sh*t. =_= their definition of portfolios are just different from us designers i guess.

don't get me started about lunch time! BAD MANAGEMENT!!! totally not organized!! and so much for putting ethics 1st to be in their kind of field, but cutting lines!! which part of that is ethical? fine!! whatever. so we took our food, no doubt la the food is kinda nice, but they don't even have enough spoons!! OAO SERIOUSLY!!! NO SPOONS!! i have to eat using fork. FORK!! imagine eating prawns with just a fork! (eventho i usually eat prawns wholly (?) calcium xD) argh!!! then we went back in the torture chamber again. I almost snap when the emcee asked us to stand up and put our hands in the air and yell "I'm a young Buffett!!!!!" *curse* which i happily DIDN'T oblige! i went 4 on my hands and feet on the ground instead (because my pen dropped actually xD) but yes... like hell I'm gonna put my hands in the air and shout that...that... DAMN!!! OAO living in the shadow of some old rich dude. omg. =_= i know la maybe they are just doing it for some, i dunno, motivational purposes, but when its been used frequently, i just can't stand it.

even worst when the emcee asked us to clap hands in order to measure the "awesome-ness" of the speaker. I'm like, OMG *facepalm* and the constant advertising for their company by the speakers (insurance, financial advice, etc) in each talk. very clever lo.

well, there are a few good points that i get... very few, and I can barely remember it, but still...

ah!! I am EXTREMELY GLAD to be where I am now!!!! can't imagine any place other than this! THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!!!!!!

aesthetics

got my very 1st aesthetics magazine today. it's the latest issue!! 8D yay for me! been wanting to have the magazine for so long T_T it's impressive how the magazine is free of charge! O_O seriously!! you can just take it if you see it lying around somewhere!!! (I don't recommend you to take people's one tho haha!) I want the previous volume seriously!! T_T

so I went to their website. kinda nice web. I think the only way to get their previous volumes are either depend on your luck, who knows maybe it'll drop from the sky or smthin' which is not possible. OR, go to their office =A= darnnit!!!!

so i kept surfing, and saw this section for readers to submit artworks. 8D *huge grin* so I want to try!! this is the piece that i decided to use.
