This is just a doodle slash good drawing inspired by a song called Everyone Deserves Music sung by (or it might be composed by) Michael Frain and Spearhead. I dunno I just HAVE to draw it. It is posted on deviant art btw.


I recently joined deviantart.com and twas good. ^--^ I kept on submitting stuff but neglected my uni work HAHAHAHA +__+ I really shouldn't be this happy but I guess if you have time please visit me gallery at yunichan.deviantart.com alrighty that's all from me.

BLOODY HELL!! >..<

I swear I will never go into a motorway ever again! +__+ It was so damn scary and sometimes my couz don't even trust me TT_TT we were driving to Parra through a motorway which I have no idea what since I was just hearing my couz's instruction... and then I was on the front nearly accelerating coz I thought the taxi coming for me was quite a long way away and then he said stop!! What the heck?!? so I stopped right after the give way line =__= causing a little bit of disturbance but just a little booboo nothing big and then off we go again and me couz lecturing me this and that when I know it was partly my fault coz I still fear accelerating too much... o this happened duirng Good Friday... how appropriate...

Next incident comes after dropping off another couz in Parra. And off we go again. This time my couz told me not to drive through the motorway anymore (fearing that our lives would be in danger with me behind the wheels :P) so he found another route to take... Only this time I was a teensy bit speeding and then suddenly another couz who came with us also told me how brave I was to do that when there's a police cruiser right behind me. Hahaha... yes that wasn't funny so I slowed down a bit got into this main road that merged but then I was scared of changing lanes and also the police cruiser was also changing lanes and... they did it first and then straight after I went, but please note that I was in front of the police cruiser at this very moment... hahaha and the police cruiser actually slowed down to allow me to change lanes... how nice of them... hehe

Yup and that was all the incident on Good Friday. The next day I also drove a VERY long way, actually it's more appropriate to say that I drove a lot on Saturday because we went here and there a couple of times. But the most exciting would have to be driving all the way to Miranda from Burwood! OMG! Twas quite ok except for a few mishaps which I can't remember. Ach alas there's the parking that I couldn't do when we went to Southgate, which is sorta like a Plaza I guess. I was parking head first but in the end it was sorta wonky and I didn't park it right =__= so needed to reverse and then do it again. PLUS I have to hear my couz's nag about my horrid driving skill. Of course all that is for my own good but I never in my whole driving lessons been just silenced aka there was nothing wrong with my driving *sigh I guess I need to learn more than what I expect it to be. Just when I thought Automatic is going to be heaps easier than Manual.

So on Sunday, which is today yet again I drove. Yes. I realise I've been driving 3 days straight and I swear on the day before which was Saturday my head nearly popped after at last I was off driving. Anyway, lets get on to the story. Today is ok. We split driving the car because there are 3 hopeless need-to-be-fully-supervised learner drivers in our family me and my two couzs. And although I can move forward heaps better than before I really suck at parking, reversing, noticing things, and etc etc etc. I swear I made this comment when I went driving with just my couz and I at one time "the number of times I nearly killed myself: countless." And that is the truth! Like today after dropping off another couz (I know I don't even know how many couz I have here seriously they are migrating like rabbits breeding! Sorry that was lame but I have a lot of cousins here...) we were driving along this quite small narrow road with two lanes when I didn't even notice there was this one car that parked but the driver is gonna get out of the car and I was driving too close to the left! so basically we kinda swerve to the right a bit and then back... *sigh and then there was another incident where we were turning off a roundabout when I didn't notice that the car from the oncoming lane was blinking its light to the left so that means I was supposed to give the car the first priority and I should've stopped. But I swear I saw otherwise! ... maybe ... and so I was nearly accelerating when my couz realised and told me to stop and fortunately (really this is such an understatement) I think the driver must've forgotten he let the indicator on but he just moved straight. But basically if he did move to where he indicates to I will certainly have crashed onto his car! ARGH! Dammit! I kinda hate driving but it has become a necessity in this day and age.

*sigh I guess I really need to improve really fast before my license just pass out (that means before it expires) so basically here's the run down of the skills that I need to improve before taking the test:

1. Parking. Which can be subbed into two categories forward and reverse. But the skill that I need to learn is how to park properly and not just guessing my position and start basing judgements upon that guess.

2. Blind Spot. My couzs told me that I usually don't check my blind spot correctly. They always say "show some ACTION" like hell I can. Seriously, even when I check the blind spot it gives me headache coz I need to turn my head fast. I know, lame reason but there you go.

3. Far Sight. Yes, trying to be on the lane, concentrating on speed, traffic lights, and surrounding signs are already hard enough but I still need to be able to notice further traffic to avoid mainly collisions and damage to the car and others around me.

4. Changing Lanes. I suck at this seriously. The first time I tried this I checked blind spot (barely), slowed down (which is appropriate to some point but I swear I slowed down too much especially on main roads), and swerved to the lane that I'm changing on to too fast. I'm still a bit wary of changing lanes.

Overall, that's all that I can think of at the moment. I swear that's probably a small amount of skills that I need to improve on. I probably need to improve a heck lot more and gain the bravery for moving cautiously, smoothly and perfectly upon merging lanes and motorways. At the moment I vow to never go on motorway but I must take little tiny baby steps before this ever happen.

So for today I bid farewell and wish me luck upon my next adventure jeopardising my couz's car on our little road trips ^--^

cya

hiya all! i know i know... it's been a while since i posted the characters for our little characters... o well... sometimes i just wonder what to do and ponder over my typo or whatever i'm doing at the time and drawing these characters have become a short distraction i guess...

so here we go... marina's character and that's the only thing i can offer at the moment... enjoy!


hmmm... somehow the white's a bit off must have been because of the adjustment i made after scanning it in... o well...

o just for a little fun i also draw a random thing...

alrighty that's all from me now ~cheerios!

THIS AND OTHER DRIVING LESSONS

Today and yesterday have been rather hectic first on Friday I couldn't go to a night invite coz I have to help my aunt prepare for my couz's daughter's b'day party the next day, but not a kiddie party it's just a party between our relatives, but in the end I end up doing nothing or rather not helping at all coz I was actually spending overnight at another couz's place (I usually do to relieve my tense moods coz it's quiter there hehehe let's just call it my 'second' home here) And then the party was over before it even started ^--^ hehe not really but all we did was eat and talk and then some people go and there's just us left. But it was all good~ she (my couz's daughter) end up with quite a bit of gifts including a backpack, a spiderman soft toy and a sunflower with a duck face (strange I know, but her little sister seems to be fond of it), a packet of stationaries and best of all an Incredibles Playstation game! hehehe yeah you can say she's quite a Playstationer (she's actually pretty good) but if you are wondering if I had been boasting about my gift to her that is untrue since it was from my couz (not her mom but her uncle) so she ended up playing it when we were talking ^--^

Next on the agenda is how many times I've been driving today... YES today only... I dropped off my couz to her work this morning, I drove back to my home in Burwood then drove back to Strath, then drove back again to Burwood, but then sat in the passenger's seat coz we were driving with a baby on the back but we went back to Starth, then I went to pick my couz up again at Burwood, then drove off back to Strath, and just when I thought that was the end of that my couz (who was going to a b'day party tonight) wants me to wrap up a prezzie so I said all my wrappers and stuff are back in Burwood, so I drove again, then back to Strath again but soon after we went back to Burwood... and that's the end of that... phew! Considering how many times I said that it was not such an amusing thing since I'm driving or rather has been driving the same route over and over again. But compared to about a month ago now I feel much more confident on the road even though I get told off sometimes for accelerating not-so-smoothly, but at least I didn't hit any car right?!? Yeah... I like driving now even though I've been getting through a heap of mishaps but I still like it. I've been driving sorta like what they would ask me to do during the test (even though it will never be as accurate as hiring a licensed driver instructor, but I need to cash up, man...) But the only weakness that I have is probably... actually make that two weaknesses that I have are reversing and parking... I totally suck at it. Just last week I went off the kerb a bit oh yeah and I also suck at roundabouts too... I can never get the circling right. Sometimes I would be a bit too close to the roundabout or it's just not as smooth...

Well anyway that's all the wild happenings that I've been having today... not as wild but considering this is the most times I've been driving in one day it was AWESOME (that is minusing the 45 minutes drive to my aunt's home which was CRAZY! I nearly died... of course not literally but I can just feel the membranes inside my brain popping off every 5 minutes...)

So tis all for today's blog... cya

ooo before I forgot. HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY EVERYONE! ^--^ just for today only all truths are considered lies...

"Remember, remember, the fifth of November. The gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot."

Last night after a little bit of persuasion I made my couz come with me to see "V for Vendetta". One word to sum it up... AWESOME! Even though it's an adaptation of the graphic novel by Alan Moore I still give it thumbs up.

To sum the story up Britain in the future is led by a totalitarian government, setting curfew, preventing them from opinionating, TV stations are operated by the government, any form of arts which are deemed unsuitable are banned. It is a scary world that no one wants to be a part of. Among the scared and lawfully abiding citizen stand a masked figure who defies the current government and vows vengeance, the figure is code named V.

The casts include Hugo Weaving as V, Natalie Portman as Evey and John Hurt as Adam Sutler, the high chancelor leading Britain. Hugo Weaving, to me, is just PERFECT as V you can never find another voice or even demeanour as charming as he is (maybe), but one very interesting information that I found out about this movie is that Weaving is actually not the first choice for the part of V, it was actually given to someone else and whilst they are undergoing the production the producer (or it might've been the director) find that the actor doesn't have the essence of the character that he was looking for and so Weaving was then casted. Now let's talk about the movie. The movie is equivalent to looking back to Hitler's reign. It's dark, bland and concrete, a time where government officials are abusing their position and the people are left to defend themselves. The story has a twisted dark element to it, throughout the movie you uncover the secret one by one as to who V is, what the government has done in the past, the 80,000 deaths of the St Mary virus, and the silence over the Larkhill Detention Centre.

I went with my couz last night and we bought the tixs off the internet ^--^ it was only $10 with $1 booking fee. ^--^ But I guess since there is an increasing number of people preferring to wait until the DVDs come out for rent or buy I guess they've been posting incentives to attract more people to come and watch it at the cinema. But seriously... I don't regret going to see this movie. Coz I thought the idea, even though a bit extreme, but fitting to the present situation somehow. And I especially love the film noir graphics (although not as film noir as Sin City was) and how they still maintain the red english lines but instead inverse the white colour (if you haven't notice I think England's colours are characterised by vertical and horizontal red lines over white) to black. And how the high chancelor appears before the government officials not as a person but rather as a figure on a huge TV screen looking down at the inferiors appearing before him.

Another thing that I also LOVE from this movie (or maybe even the graphic novel which I haven't read yet but WANT to if I get the chance to do so) is the use of the mask throughout the movie. You might think that the mask is intimidating to some sense but considering the effect it gives slowly the mask becomes more human than the government officials' faces. I absolutely love the mask. ^--^ I thought that the mask would restrict facial expression but instead the direction is just fantastic, it gives out the hints of emotions through the directions and lightings. PERFECT! Love the mask... hehe I know it sounds weird but Weaving characterise the masked figure to such perfection the mask looks ALIVE! hehe I know I'm trying to be a critic when I don't even know what I'm talking about. But nonetheless I thought the directing was good also.

But anyways, setting things apart. I really like the movie but somehow I keep thinking whether my couz would like the movie or not coz there appears to be a lot of 'talking'. Yeah I know... strange. But she's not very fond of 'thinking' movies as to action ones. =__= But luckily this movie is a fusion between the two, which makes me like it for the better. ^--^

That's all from me I guess. It's been a while since I talk about movies. I actually have seen quite a lot but I just haven't got the chance to put it in this blog considering I just want to talk about this movie coz I thought it was really good when I saw it yesterday and so I just HAVE to post a blog on it.

Alrighty cya all then. Domo~
