Training with unexpected results and outcomes....
20-Jun-08
Heyea mina!! (everyone) greetings and a big welcome back to all you blinkers out there…..to yet another journal update here in my personal blinkz website. Been a reeeeally and I mean reeeeeeeally long time since I have last updated the site….gomen gomen…heheheheh….been kinda caught up and busy with tons of unrelated activities and events (and I do mean TONS…..) in my ‘wonderful’ happy life……(yea…right if only life were that simple…) oh well let’s just cut the crap….and start this journal update off shall we??
First things first…..well currently its finally my college internship training….(oh nooo!!) and working under a small media agency in Bangsar, KL call V2 innovates…..in my own opinion I guess…..working here has both its advantages as well as disadvantages…. Advantage no 1…you get tons of handy experiences and advices from the man himself……(in other words my boss….) Disadvantage….Besides advice and comment…he would also criticized….and hit directly at your weaknesses and not to mention your missing elements…. (which is good in a way…) Advantage no 2….Working colleagues are nice and helpful……as they are interns from other colleges too….Disadvantage…..none of us got any monthly pay check at all……(-___-“”)
Advantage no 3…..a friendly yet organized working environment…..which is much like a real advertising agency… Disadvantage….all the computers has its weakness…..(mine just so happens to be the only without any speakers/sound…..) Advantage no 4…..you would get tons of projects from a list of different clients….Disadvantage…..certain list information requires you to find yourself….with whatever means possible……Advantage no 5….working hours start at 9p.m. sharp….Disadvantage…..ending hours are normally not set….at times….i had to stay back until 6.20 p.m. (man……) Advantage no 6…..Wireless internet connection….Disadvantage……disconnected at times and minimal access to certain websites on certain occasions…..
So yea…..a detailed comparison between the good and the bad…..but then again….overall without internship….i wouldn’t be able to realize my weaknesses and not to mention strengths….that i have personally…..now all that’s left is the college internship report, in which I have to learn and write at the end of the training……(Oh how I long for a full 100% break from it all….) Besides this….on another important matter…my final exam results are out again!!! (-lightning strike in the background……-) (o____o’’’) and believe it or not…for the very first time in the history of all my result-showing-moments…..my dad is not angry or disappointed with meh at all…..
Instead all he said was…..” Nevermind, you tried your very best……” and it somehow felt really weird…..my dad felt that I should be getting more….instead of just average grades….in which he holds the college responsible of certain situations….that has nothing to do with me at all……Solution?? He asked me to email all my lectures to evaluate as well as compare other student’s grades…..with mine….(sheeesh…..) and not to mention asking if it is possible to either resubmit the assignments or retake the exams instead…..of just paying for college fees….to retake the particular subject….anyway here’s the breakdown list of all 5 subjects for my finals…..Media Planning……(a miserable D), Creative Comm Production……(a C+…What a relief!!), Comm Project Management…..(an unsatisfied C….could have been better…), Comm Research Methods……(another C….but it’s okay…at least I pass…) and Academic Writing…..(an A-….for the first time in my life!!...wooohoo!!)….well well as you can see….it is a proven fact that….one of my strongest areas is definitely language…(not to boast or anything….)
(Sigh…) it’s still yet another long and winding journey for me…..but hey…think positive!!! Your life is not always in one big mess……you will have support no matter where you are in life…..from friends, family, relatives….as well as other people you meet in life….so yea lighten up….(it’s never the end of the world…..) I’ll have to continue to do my very best….and to succeed in life no matter what path in life that I choose to take in future……(you have the edge and the advantage…..use it!!)…..
Final words??.....well heheheheheheheh sorry once again…..fans of my artworks…..if I haven’t been updating deviant with newer artworks….and cg drawings….i just can’t seem to find the time to sit down and complete a cg drawing…..please bear with meh for a while…until my next deviation update…..(-__-‘’’’) oh and recently there has been a tremendous response of other blinkerz signing my guestbook…..i was shocked at the overwhelming comments and support you guys and girls have been giving to my personal blinkz site….(sniff…..) I’m touched…..well then that about sums it up……I cya all in my next journal update……..until then…..i’ll be waiting in the shadows…..
-Closing statement from Daisuke7….-

A really loooong Colorful Christmas greeting with unexpected results.....(-___-''')
24-Dec-07
Ho..Ho...Ho.....Merry Christmas everyone!!! especially to all you blinkerz ( the word 'blinkerz' never cease to amuze meh.....heheheheh) here in blinkz site.....No it's not Santa Clause in disguise using Daisuke7's name all this time......nor is it Daisuke7 who has caught the holidays flu.........(thank goodness......but no) then what exactly are u shouting out about today?? u might ask.......well it's CHRISTMAS EVE......!! the day before the main day......a day before everyone around the world,......open presents around the fireplace and in front of their love ones, a day where there is magic, happiness and warmth in every family household, a day where it snows and thereby bringing the term 'white christmas', the day where we experience family togatherness and feast on plates and plates traditional christmas food......(yum....) so bring out your christmas stockings!! and happiness as we yet again for another year........celebrate Christmas, the holidays and very soon the New Year's......in peace and harmony, with our love ones......
Well then enough about that......let's start this blinkz journal with a BANG!! and ending it with an exploding finale shall we?? so yea.....what's been happening in my life lately.....?? well for starters on the 15th and 16th, for two days it was Comic Fiesta 2007!!! the only main anime/manga/games event here in Malaysia.....(wooohoo!!)......This year however the venue....was once again shifted to a newer location in KL, Selangor.......mainly inside a shopping complex called Times Square......compared to previous events.....in recent years......the year 2007....has proved to be one of the biggest with an unexpected number of anime fans showing up for the fun and excitement, newer doujin (amatuer comics) and not to mention a number of newer related sponsors.....
If u think that is something......wait till you hear just how long....the queue (yes...in other words the line....) was all the way to the ticketing booth......for the monorail (a type of public transport train....)...One word to sum it up though....MADNESS!! absolute madness!!!......the line was at least as long as a transport bus......(definitely not a school bus.....) and everyone was just lining up for the same ticket.....(sheesh....) but nothing was as bad compared to gettting squashed like a can of sardins when we return from the event......(man....) anyhow....spent on a lot of stuffs....and left a hole in my pocket......(it was worth it though......) 5 art doujin books, a free sketch and a Lena lee (from the anime D Gray man...) bookmark.....overall i had a blast!! that day.....taking pictures of people i do not even know......, ito chan's costume, pcmaniac's doujin booth........the CF art gallery, stage and more of people i do not even know in life.....hopefully 2008 would be better than the last......with tons of suprises......and unexpected experiences....(wooohoo!! can't possibly wait....onward 2008!!)
Besides this, on a more serious topic.......my college results were once again out....but this time.....it was good news!! (well in other words....i was mainly satisfied....) this time i had managed to pass all of my subjects for the first time studying in Taylor's College.....and technically the grades were in a way better than the last.......considering that they were my 'retake subjects......' so here is the quick rundown of the grades i received......Media History: (C+)..., Communication theory and research: (C)..., Advertising: (B+)......and for the rest that were not retakes.....Corporate Communication: (C) and finally Issues in media contents: (C)....i know what you are thinking as u read the grades......it's not exactly something that u would boast about.....but hey....i am still satisfied with it no matter what u intend to say....my parents did not went into 'angry mode....' when i told them my results.....in fact my mum was clearly satisfied and relief when i mentioned it.....my dad however still propagates his message that he expected higher from eventhough......he was furious....dissapointed but....trully going on and on on his expectations......my father was as you can see very dissapointed at first......however when i just could not take it any longer......angrily and sad....i voiced out my feelings that i just couldn't....be exactly as who he expects me to be.....it was just impossible....i did everything and what i had to do to somehow pass the exams but still....my best for him is just not enough......which was definitely entirely 100% true in almost every moment when i am.....forced to revealed my exam results to him.....so therefore after listening to my explanation....and apologizing, he realise that he was for all this time judging my results based on figures....than achievements and personal understanding.......anyhow no matter....i will still continue to do my very best!!! and by targeting success......
Well then...that about sums it up.....phew.....gomenasai mina.....(sorry everyone....) for the really long winded and time consuming journal update.....definitely need to work on my planning and distribution in terms of related topics.....maybe in future journal updates....a focus on just two general topics......oh well.....Cyaz....and thanks for the support!!!

20-Oct-07
Heyea fellow blinkers (hmm..blinkers i like the sound of that)!!! its meh Daisuke7 once again back in a flash.........here to bring you yet another blinkz journal update.....after months and months of waiting........(let's face it...all you blinkers.....were anxiously waiting day after day for a new post.......come on don't be shy.....) sigh.....well can't help it though......its been a rather stressful and not to mention tiring week for meh.....in the form of mainly college assignments, preparations for finals.......,more assignments........and not to mention life......(okay i i was only kidding....life is not always that stressful when u're with your friends and family......). Besides this there's also the fact that.......i had to find inspiration and topics to ultimately start the journal.......in other words.....writer's block.......
anyway....enough about that....and let's get started shall we??? first things first......just a few months ago......my college friends including itomaki....manage to organize a a charity project specifically called project 'PHUNK' (obviously not the word u'll thinking of right now......) which is tranlated into 'providing hospice with undertsnding and kare' with a K to add a sense of uniqueness in the term itself......so yea......after all the garage sales, launch event and spreading the awareness to other students and the general public, the main final event itself was to be made in the Laundry bar, The Curve (a shopping complex in Selangor, Malaysia). It was a major success...due to the overwhelming group of invited students and lecturers into making it one rocking night......(i had tons of fun....drinking, laughing and listening to the many local artists they had that night.....fushion music rulez!!!!). In addition to this.....the event itself was also featured in local newspapers.....like The Star newspaper as well as inside the lastest Lime magazine....(if i'm not mistaken its the one with the Taiwanese singer 'Wong Li Hom' on the front page....) featuring the one and only Ito chan aka Itomaki......!!! Souvenirs on the other hand that was made to in honour of the event itself, came in the form of really 'phunky' t-shirt designs......designed by guess who...once more???
Moving on, just last month...(eventhough it is after all an old story....but who cares....i'm still happy for him.....and it is an achivement after all....) my friend Victor has manage to make it in the newspapers under the education page.....carrying the special achievement, on its own as one of the outstanding A-level students who scored well in their exams........!!!(Woohooo!!!)once again......congratulations on a job well done......you definitely earned it........continue to ganbatte in future though!!!! hmm what else??? what else??? oh FINALLY!! yes!!! ladies and gentlemen...i am please to anounce that.....after much waiting for all these years........and hours.....i have gotten myself my internet upgrade to a broadband.....(can you imagine the speed with just a dial up connection???) and my very own personal digital tablet.....(still needs pratice though......but i'm getting there....somehow....) anyway yea....with these two upgrades........life for meh working on the computer could not be any simpler.....(in my own opnion that is....) fans of my artworks...be warned too......cause very soon....my style of digital coloring will definitely advance as a result of these new found tool.......-lightning strikes- wahahhahahahahaha!!! wish meh luck......well then that about sums it up.......until next time then fellow blinkers.....-Daisuke7 will be back.....-

07-Jul-07
Gomen....gomen......greetings everyone!!! its Daisuke7 once again here to bring u yet another journal update....specially made for Blinkz site........yea i know....i know.....it been a rather 3 to 4 months or so....since i last updated......my blinkz site.....mainly because of of many reasons such as......FINALS......, my last few remaining crucial assignments that i must definitely attend to....., stumped for ideas as to what content i should include in my next journal update......and basically......been almost to engrossed with Deviant site.....(sheesh......) so yea.......excuses??? i do not think so.....since those are after all solid reasons to actually support the main question......that u intend to ask.......anyway......u may be asking what's been happening in my life after for so long since my last update??? well for starters...the last two whole months was my semester break!!!! it was fun in a way.....i managed to do all my fave things.....all over again.....for example......eating....,sleeping....(man...talk about being lazy....), drawing, onlining, playing my old games in Ps 1......(for now...its broken...), holidaying (went to cameron highlands and Malacca...)....,praticing my driving....(i would have to retake my driving exam once again...)....watching movies......and the list goes on and on and on.......sadly though......did not manage to hang out with my friends......cause of the difference in schedule......but then again there are times where we would go for a 'drinking outing...' in an indian restaurant.....(oh well....)...besides this.....last week my dad had a long lost UK friend by the name of Cara.....who came over to visit Malaysia.....and keeping in touch with my dad after for so many years....So as guests and of Malaysians.....we took them to see many intresting and yet non tourists all around KL and Malacca.....as well as shopping for really hard to find......fake- goods.......before heading to the east of Malaysia......i had pure fun.......with them during that brief but long....period....especially with his youngest son named Berthy.......where we exchanged different types of game console information......prices in games.....and socialise with my cousins back in malacca.....in addition to this....through out that period we also got to have a few laughs.....and took a walk back down memory lane with my father......when he was just a teen studying in London....(hahahahaha....) Moving on in other news......my results are out!!!! (Oh man...) and let's just say my parents are not too happy about it..........especailly with my mum........with the following....a B for desktop publishing......,a C+ for computer graphics......and a C- for both Media History and law as well as my major subject Advertising......which ultimately means....that i have to retake both these C- subjects.....all over again due to College's administration rule under University Science Malaysia....(USM..) of retaking any 'Failed' subjects.....starting from C- below.......to really top it all off....it was really hard and not to mention unbearable of just reporting the news towards my parents........the same so called atmosphere (memories.....) i get from many examinations i went through in the past..........especially SPM examinations......or O levels....the guilt and same feeling that you get when u realise that somehow or someway you have actually let them down.......on that fateful day i had one heck of a lecture.....from my father.......and it made me realise that i need to actually turn over a new leaf........and work another extra 50% more better than my previous semesters......however this is not the first time that has really triggered this sudden change of heart.....other events too such as seeing just how well my high school friends are doing and not to mention my Media history law lecturer's personal chat with meh......all played a major role in this unexpected turns event.....(sigh.....) oh well wish me luck......and this time I will Ganbatte in every obstacle as well as twist and turns in my life!!!........well then that about sums it up......once again arigato my thanks for all everyone who has actually taken the time in visiting or browsing through my web site....and i will be back again soon with further updates to keep u guys entertain......till next time......then Sayonara.....
Oh i almost forgot.......i have no idea why but......for some strange reason......i can't seem to update my photo album section anymore......i keep getting an error message every single time i intend to upload an artwork in to Blinkz.....(sheesh....) so in the mean time.....do visit my deviant art site for more updates on artworks.......and hotoni gomenasai(really sorry) everyone.....besides......this....just to make it clear for everyone who comes and goes.....after visiting my web site.....is that....this is not a 100% blog website......rather it's my very own personal web site where i report on updates, write stories about my life and just have fun....linking the web sites.....that may be a personal fave to meh.....so i really appreciate it if there is no further confusion in all of this.....
