Day 10

Besides work... therez nothing much today to talked about... cant seem to find anybody today... so we are kinda like stranded here... have been waiting to get papers since thursday, but seems like that room is locked since that day and we still didn’t get papers...

No papers... no work... so did some doodling and practice my drawing skill on used papers...

Hope we get our papers tmr!

Showed Corro, my shifu~~~~~ ( the holy artist, he starts drawing at the age of 10!) the 3 pieces and though therez still have some changes but i can see that there are improvements made. The changes made is minor, jus abit to the left and right and im within the range... so quite happy... ~

Since we cant find anybody today, we went off earlier.


Was Rushing back to hotel to bathe before the sun sets.... Its kinda risky to bathe at night because i dun wanna to hav a blackout in between my bath and spoil my wonderful bath!

Not feeling well today... Taken medicine already, rested early...


Its SIZZLING HOT DOGGG!!!!

Day 09 : Kovalam Beach~~~

Have been looking forward for this day to come! For the whole week, this is the day we have been looking forward to after 5 to 6 days of work!

This is Kovalam Beach~~

Hohohoho... cost us 300 rupees to get there by autotrishaw from here... saw huge lumps of shit at the roadside... wonder if its from the elephant’s... the auto trishaw too fast.. didnt manage taking a shot of it. Hahaha...

Before you can get into the beach... you have to pass through this row of shops... Scary is because, tons of promoters are standbying down there to pull you into their shops.... but there are interesting things and products around... so wont hurt to take a look. they have souveniors ranging from statues to hand-made products like bags, shoes and many more.

(These are drawn, not printed...)

Had our lunch there, hahah, I got this seafood platter for like 500 rupees which is about S$16? It consist of fish, prawn masala and sotongs with some herbs, and with rice and one chapatti... its kinda big proportion and in front of us is the sea... hoots! And the food is nice...no doubt... hahah.

Some scenery shots:

For some reason, many people keep asking if we are from Japan or Korea... people starts 'genki' and 'konnichiwa' us. Maybe because we looked 'asian'...thatz why... perhaps?

During our walk walk see see... there are promoters again trying to sell their goods to us, and we are easy targets because firstly we are the only Asians there, (kinda of) secondly, we are students, innocent harmless student... T...T..

We are often stalked by particularly 2 groups: ‘The Pineapple Beauties’ & ‘The Drum Handsomes’... they keep persuading us to buy their things and tend to find faults at the products that we have bought earlier and keep following us wherever we go.

Got one of the ‘drum handsomes’ actually eyeing on my handphone. Of course i wont agree in whatever terms he named for my phone... No No No...we began to flee like refugees when we see these 2 groups... kinda irritaing but well, they are trying to earn for a living so I always decline them with a smile... J haha.

Didn’t manage to take much photos because my camera died... Bwah!

Have been seeing ‘me’ at different places...

Was randomly looking out of the window and saw this elephant walking past....



We have been dropping quite some hair like ah ma... and we got like this small bugs that keep appearing on us out of nowhere... like little ants. Hope its not something bad... but the situation improved... I got none of these now.

Wonder if its from the birds or something, oh yah didnt metion about the birds...
Seems like there are some birds living jus outside Wei Ling’s room at some crack on the wall and we can always hear them making noises, and therez some weird smell after a few days.

Wei Ling got her room changed after that... we went to the city again to buy some things and tatz all... haha...

Day 04 ~ 07

Day 04 - 07

We start from the basics; we were given 5 keyframes to draw and thatz when we started to feel demoralised and realised how unprepared we are for the industry. Our foundation is like not even there. W e were then taught drawing perspective drawing, sketching different human poses and so on.
Thatz me in office....

We were also taught how to use toon boom too... its called ‘stage’ here. Dunno why... hmmm

Sible is the one teaching us and very thankful to him and some other people because they hav to stay until 7:30pm with us jus to teach us. And lagging me took quite some time to get it... haiz...

This goes on for some days, we kinda feel bored doing the same thing over and over again... but wad to do? Our basics not even there, and pratice makes perfect! Lots of practice until thurs we were given 3 new scenes to draw... Wei Ling was so happy... LoL...

But the 3 new scenes are more difficult to draw...T__T INSANE DETAILS!!!

And we got our local lines aready... and its super long... +91 97479 68406... trying to know how it works too... oh wells...

Food wise.... well... we had a varieties; its either eating in our hotel or eating at the food courts in technopark... or Subway! the price is kinda cheap here... around 135 rupees which is around S$3+?

Hahahha... So far so good, didn’t get any food poisoning or so... jus that maybe at first tummy feels weird after eating, but dun worry nothing happens and yah need to drink lots of water tatz all.... the food here is kinda heavy flavoured... took some pictures of our food we have eaten...

Lots of cows here Rinna... :)

Day 03

Day 03

Finally we get to meet the people in toonz animation. It is located in a park call technopark where all the business companies gather and stay together... toonz animation is in a building call Nila... 7th floor... and half of the whole stretch belongs to toonz.. kinda big huh... our ginger hotel is located near it and we hav to walk quite abit to reach.

We will have to walk this dangerous road... with vehicles one inch away from us... and at night there is total no lights~~...

We spent the whole day walking around getting know the people and obviously, we don’t remember most of their names...because they looked all the same and yeah their names are either too hard to remember or similar or confusing...

However we got some of their name cards... and it really helps us a lot in identifying them.. their namecards are kinda cool..because their caricature is printed on it too.. we tot it looked kinda cool and I went for a collect namecards frenzy.... hahah.. cos its COOL!!!

We were wondering if we will get one when we leave... hahaha .....

Left to right: PJ, Divas, Vinu, Vinish, Renju

*Renju kinda reminded me of marvel heroes superman or batman!!!* Dont ya think so?

Well, we will be working under Renju on a project called ‘Shiva’... we were introduced to their work crew; Rahul, Coro, Sankeer and Sible and more. Dunno if I spelled their names correctly...

The people there are very friendly and approachable. We often hear like ‘its ok... its alright...’ whenever we got errs... and they are willing to teach us when we are so UNSKILLED in many ways. Kinda feel bad cos we are suppose to do work for them and its another way round now.

Went lunch with PJ, he is VERY comical and full of expressions... hez cool... thanks for the ride and guide. He currently actually working on a monkey project which kinda related to Wei Ling... haha... After that is more intros...bwah....and so on....

Didn’t know we can actually see this at our workplace... its not something we expect from a workplace... nice sceneries though its all trees... but ...nice... fresh air...

Haha... we kinda dunno wad to do for awhile before we decided to step out of our hotels to do some exploration. heh...

The kind receptionist help us call for a auto trishaw and it cost us around 150 rupees to get to the city. The ride was fast, noisy, windy and SHIOK... hahah... it was quite an experience... we eventually felt that this is even more comfortable than taking plane... hahah...

We went to a city... Think the road is called MG road or something...
lots of crowd... the air is bad here... vehicles everywhere... honking and beeping.... -__-
people walking around...even on roads... kinda chaotic...

We walked around for some time... their signboards are in tamil... my gosh ... we do not know where the hell we are... so we asked some random lady for directions...walked some distance and we bought some everday stuffs and went back after that...


And we need to pay for our internet access... frownz.... cost us 130 rupees per hr or 330 rupees unlimited within 24 hrs.... frequent blackouts.....

ZAK! there it goes again... speaking of the devil...
