I am always curious of how visual effects will influence the presentation of the show that I find myself often experimenting with effects, layers and boxes, when all I needed to do is offline editing, ie setting the structure, selecting complementary visual, edit in and out certain phrases, etc. for me, getting truly hands on in the production of the show is crucial to whether I am able to bring...

thought provoking question of the day
I came across an interesting, thought provoking question on Facebook earlier today.
how do you define “passé futuristic ways of thinking” in the context of looking at old and new ideas/ knowledge.
so below is my attempt at defining “passé futuristic ways of thinking”..
” i guess it refers to the thinking that has been accepted by the community as where the society...
on editing
experimented with some layers today on final cut pro. longer rendering time, but hey… even a few seconds of visual presentation matters!
Quote: Embrace Failure
” I love this idea of wrong thinking… of encouraging people who have ideas to go see if they work and not dismissing them just because they sound like the wrong solution. No one has the right answer at the beginning. I made 5127 prototypes of the bagless vacuum before I got it right. “

Romantic Genre
Reason I am not into romantic genre be it books or movies. Romantic genre reminds me that it sucks to be single. I have been technically single for as long as I know it, haven’t been attracting the right crowd and find it challenging to attract those I am interested in. That also explains why I am so career centric. Coz it seems that as long as i work towards it, the effort I put in for...

Common Truths and Shared Wisdom Despite...
I am born and raised as a Chinese. Fact. I am proud of my origin. Very much so. There is one thing though, some sort of tradition that has been passing down through several generations… my family find it hard to accept a non Chinese and embrace one as one.
At this time and day, this is not the way it is supposed to be.
You may find this common, as it is actually not something new in the...

Quote worth noting.
“The most important aspect of my personality as far as determining my success goes; has been my questioning conventional wisdom, doubting experts and questioning authority. While that can be painful in your relationships with your parents and teachers, it’s enormously useful in life.”

what you regard as impossible may become possible.
“I would like to make you more insecure, more uncertain — because that’s how life is… When there is more insecurity and more danger, the only way to respond to it is by awareness. … In your unintelligence you feel secure — all idiots feel secure. In fact, only idiots feel secure. A really alive [person] will always feel insecure. What security can there be? Life...
It started as I searched Konstantin Guericke. Then terms like thin client, fat client, middleware pops up. I believe there will be more computing terms I would soon be encountering as I check out all the speakers’ bio. Gotta learn to speak the code if you plan to meet any tech evangelist.

Woke up to the news that Steve Jobs passed away. The great innovator. The great change agent. He lived an extraordinary life. As I am typing a way on the iPhone, I think he passed away knowing that for every Apple product that is circulating in the world, for as long as we are using the products, his spirit, his persistence for perfection lives on. Rest in peace, Steve Jobs.
