Tomato.

So I'm just going to get straight to the point and say that I am now going through an internship at an animation company. It has been three weeks since I started working and thankfully, the wish I made on my last post came true.

Getting into the company wasn't really hard really. I was desperate to just get a company to accept me. And my company didn't really judged me on my skills either. They just wanted people to work for them, I guess.

But their pay wasn't really low for an intern so I'm not complaining.

The company's really chill. I'm allowed to surf the web, I don't have to arrive really early for work and the people there are fine.

I am lucky to have a classmate following me so it wasn't that lonely and awkward. And I was super, super, super grateful to have another female intern joining us at the end of the second week, because I seriously thought the only female I would see in the building is the cleaning lady.

She caught me watching videos of Overwatch when we first met and we started talking about it instantly. She's younger than me. *wipes tears*

My first choice was definitely not 3D animation, but I had no choice really. There aren't a lot of 2D animation companies and clearly I'm not good enough to be accepted into companies that did illustrations, concept art, etc.

I had to learn using a new program called Blender, but it's just a matter of getting used to things. It wasn't really difficult, but I found myself getting confused when using Adobe programs. Just everyday problems when you have to switch between programs. *shrugs*

I had experience in animating, while my classmate doesn't. So I was assigned to animate quite a lot and he did some modeling, painted texture and did some story boarding. I dreaded at the thought that I was going to animate for the rest of my internship.

One day when both of my classmate and the female intern was assigned to drawing concept art, I felt so jealous (sad but true). I expressed my thoughts to my supervisor during lunch and I'm glad he listened, 'cause I got assigned to draw days later.

Another thing I learned in this internship is how much I am not looking forward to the working life. Sitting for eight hours, doing the same thing everyday for the rest of my life is simply not appealing when I'm not doing something I love. I immediately miss studying, and I really wish I don't have to graduate so soon.

So, everything's okay. I'm glad everything's okay. I had other friends who had to stayed back for work till wee hours and others who had nothing to do, so I'm glad my situation is okay. It has already been three weeks and hopefully everything passes like the breeze.

Thoughts about HTTYD: The Hidden World

Image
On the first of February, I went to the cinema with my brother and a close friend of mine to watch How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. It's the third and last film for the almost decade-long series. If you didn't know or aren't my Twitter follower, I am a huge fan of HTTYD. I became so impatient when they wouldn't enter the theatre on time. I kept mentioning that I waited five years for this, and I didn't want to miss any second of it. We did miss a few seconds of the movie because I went to the bathroom. After the movie ended and the credits started to roll, I didn't really know how to feel about the movie. I told myself some time to gather my thoughts about the movie. I wrote my first draft while I was celebrating Chinese New Year in my hometown, but I had to stop myself to think about it again. I'm wondering if I should watch the movie again and think it through but I don't know when the movie will be available for streaming so I

The Handsome Side Of Biology.

LOOKEY GRAY FULLBUSTER IS LOOKING AT ME < 3 --- I once gave that title (look at blog post title) to my tuition teacher who taught us Biology, but he doesn't know that. Mr Jay (not his real name) teaches Biology (duh) at ERA for I don't know how many years and among all the teachers, he's the youngest I think. I can say he's quite good looking and he has a great personality. I first saw him when I went to a seminar for PMR. I was sitting far away so I couldn't really see his face. I just remembered he made us laugh a lot and no doubt, he's good at what he's doing. He works at the hospital too. When I came into Form 4, I attended his class and yeah, I thought he was handsome. Lots of girls liked his looks and even Mr Ding, the owner of ERA said he is handsome. A couple of my friend went crazy over him. I got over it after a few weeks. HE'S A TEACHER COME ONNN. So anyway, yesterday was our last class, you could say. Mr Jay never came on

Ballet Grade 6

Image
Having my Grade 6 examination soon. Makes me go nervous AHHHH. Grade 6 isn't children grade anymore, it's a performance grade, where you seriously need facial expression, eye focus and blah blah blah. Just like what my teacher says. Everything need to be done, performance-y. I had two regrets during this grade. ONE. I choose PINK for my leotard instead of BLUE! I have always loved the colour pink. If it's possible, I would choose pink every time. But this time, I preferred blue much more than pink. The reason I wanted blue because I wanted to choose the Free Movement dance, so I thought. Maybe, if I choose blue, it will be more nicer than pink. And it looks more. MORE NICE LOL. When all of us were making final decisions, I heard the pianist said : "If you pick blue and dancing Free Movement, it will be like water flowing around. It will definitely look great. " Oh, that really, really brighten up my day x) But no, my own teacher took away my confidence >___>
