Cartoons!!

Holiday season is here..

I do not celebrate Christmas so I got a lot of time to spare. I thought I explore the world of cartoons.. Making cartoon version of myself to be more precise.. :D Hmm, maybe I should go back at drawing manga characters once more to kill time..

Anyways, I found out that there were many websites out there in the web that allow you to create cartoon version of yourself for free.. Awesome!! There were the usual 'create your avatar' and more interesting ones like - "simpsonize yourself" and "make your own southpark charater".. Wow.. It was fascinating to see that one can actually see how they look like in those popular cartoon shows on TV.. I am a Big fan of Simpsons!!



This my avatar I created a long time ago in yahoo.. I stopped using yahoo messenger a long time ago and used msn instead as such, I didn't get to see and use this avatar till just now when I logged onto yahoo avatar..



This is a simpson version of me!! Even though, this did not look like me one bit.. I still liked it.. maybe I would make my appearance in the Simpsons.. Though I bet that it would be a very slim chance to have a popular guest star with that exact same character version of him..



This would be my southpark character.. Well, I hope I do not offend any of the southpark fans out there.. Frankly, Southpark characters look all the same to me.. :) As such, I just matched my skin colour to that of the character and I decided to just go crazy on this one.. :D I wanna be a Jedi knight!!Fighting with my light saber in one hand and the other for using the force.. hahaa..

This would end my exploration.. Probably should get back to my preparations for GAMSAT.. Cheers.. Happy Holidays!!

Corrinne May ~ song writer and singer..

I love piano songs.. Corrinne May is one of my favorite in my list..

I would like to dedicate this music video to all Mothers who had willingly sent their child away from their side.. knowing that their future is better off elsewhere.. This include, mothers who had put up their children up for adoption, mothers in war-torn countries who had given up their child to let them live in refugee camps.. and closer to me.. mothers who had sent their children abroad to allow them to chase their dreams...

I know its a huge sacrifice to see your children leave.. I can't imagine the pain and sadness of such a scene as I am only the child and can never be the mother.. Hats off to those mothers and even mothers to be.. I am truly grateful to you, Mother.. Take care and I see you soon..

MedRad PubCrawl 2 for 2008

The MedRad Pubcrawl is a twice a year social event held by the MedRad society. That was my first time attending one. It was great fun.. Even though I don't drink.. It was fun to hang out with everyone in my course. The theme for this particular Pubcrawl was "Characters" where everyone was supposed to dress up. Well, I didn't dress up unfortunately.

There were "Bananas in pyjamas, fairies, harry potters, witches, mario, cheerleaders, and frankly, the best one for that night would be stitch from 'lilo and stitch' and a green dinosaur.. (see below)



The green dinosaur and stitch costume were very cute.. Reminded me of those bear costumes you purchase from the'make your own bear parlours' for your teddies however, instead of those cute bears we got cute girls in them.. Awesome.. =)

RiverFire 2008

August 30th, 2008 - RiverFire

It was a splendid display of fireworks... Not only there was fireworks along the Brisbane river.. But there were even fireworks placed strategically on top of a number of buildings within the CBD to light up the whole city.. It would be an awesome sight if you were on the 'Brisbane Eye' in South bank.

The air show was great too.. To complement the fireworks, aircraft flew with flames behind them and that lit up the night sky.. You could see them as those bright streaks running across the picture above..

However, I did not managed to get a good view of the fireworks display that night.. As always, I got turned off by the massive crowd. The crowd had been there since about 4-5pm that day just to wait for the fireworks display at 7pm. Wow.. I wished I could have their patience.. =)

Anime.. (ef - a tale of memories..)

Dear Anime fans..

Exams are over and I got all the time in the world to unwind and relax for the next 3 weeks or so.. I was browsing through my Anime collection and decided to watch some of the series again.. Ef - a tale of memories.. One of my favorites among my list of school life romance titles.

The Anime ran 2 concurrent stories in one.. One of them involves the typical love triangle while the other revolves around a guy who loves a girl who suffered trauma to her head which result in memory lapses.. She will forget everything that had happened to her from the following day! everyday! This does sound familiar right.. It was adapted from a similar concept in Adam Sandler's movie - '50 first dates' in 2004.

All in all.. Personally, the Anime was great. It even managed to draw out a tear or two out of me.. Totally awesome... Catch it if you are free.. Its a short Anime. Only 12 episodes in total.

I added episode 1 as a preview.. Enjoy!!

Shave your head for a good cause...

I was soo stressed out yesterday.. I had put up with my hair poking into my eyes long enough.. I felt that it was time for a hair cut.. Unfortunately, I did not have the experience or have the skill to cut my own hair.. I tried at first.. but it did not turn out well.. so there was one simple solution.. A shaved head.. :D Luckily I got a friend at that time to help me out..

Heard of the Australia Greatest Shave, Save Leukaemia Foundation?? I always wanted to register and have my head shaved for a good cause.. But I somehow never gotten the courage to join.. (Maybe its cos of the fee).. Well, it was an easy task anyway, something possible for a DIY fix.. Thus, I did it at last..

Another plus point, I could use my head to practice surface anatomy and understanding the radiographic positioning of the skull.. It was a small sacrifice for a greater good.. hahaha..

Anyways, Hair will grow back.. this is just temporary.. :)

Buddha Fest...

It was Buddha Fest a weekend ago and I thought I walked over to SouthBank to have a look around and see a lil bit of culture.. Pretty colourful occassion.. The whole place were lit up with lanterns.. Nice.. :) It was a 2-3 day long affair.. I didn't go for the whole event unfortunately.. so I missed out on their fireworks display.. Shucks..




Continued my walk to West end.. Just felt like walking that day.. and to my horror I saw this...





Gosh.. It looked like a prop for a hunted house.. Ghastly!!.. The whole top end of the lampost was covered in cobwebs.. Even the sign next to it was engulfed by the cobwebs.. No wonder the lights around the area were soo dim.. All the lampost in that area were in the same state..
