Sorry for the lack of a better title:P ahaha. Oh well, some people has been asking me if I've updated my blog yet.. or subtly hint: "u've not updated ur blog in a while.." ahaha. Yes2 i get what you mean:P
Anyways, by right, i should talk about my Graduation Day and Dinner. But it's been so loong and quite tiring and at the same time I'm quite relieved that it's over in the sense that there's no more of that apprehensive feeling whether things will go right or not. I mean, I'm glad that it went well. A lot of smiles and tears in the day... but overall, it was good:)
Ahmad says this holiday will be like.. my last ever holiday, thus i must enjoy it:P Ahaha. Oh well, during my Form 5 when I was having my exams, Kausar introduced me to One Litre of Tears, this japanese drama and it's like.. on every Saturday evening. And I couldn't quite follow it because either I had plans or something and when I watched it, I was already halfway through the series.. Ahaha. So I told myself that I would be patient and watch all the dramas I want after my Form 5. After my IGCSE. Ahaha. And true enough, for these past .. umm.. Since november *gasp* I have been watching japanese, korean, taiwanese dramas. No thanks to Aki for having the dramas and making me watch them. And also for introducing me to the website!!>_< Now i have become addicted which is no good. Seriously.
So a lot of the plots are the same... I like to watch them because I guess u can say it's cute and also the way the story develops is pretty unique:P ahaha. Hmm.. u can say that it's pretty slow at some parts. I have to admit *with apologies to Aki* that I always skip to the end when I'm halfway through the drama. It's either it's really so boring and I need to know the ending. Or it's so good that I HAVE to know the ending. The suspense kills me.
THere's a PC fair coming up here and I thought of getting a Graphics Tablet due to a few reasons. One, i need to distract myself from... myself. Ahaha. From watching too many dramas and wallowing myself in selfpity:P And secondly, i told myself i would upgrade my critical thinking skills or public speaking skills and all.. but when i started to read on ahmad's critical thinking book, i absolutely cannot go on. I have no idea why. Maybe I just have no interest or maybe the book is too difficult for me that i LOSE interest. Ahaha. So i told myself I have to get at least one skill this holiday so I thought since drawing is my absolute hobby, might as well bring it up to a new level!:D My dad says fine and I have to get it with my own money since I'm working anyways. I'm the only one out of my siblings who is working at the moment. Ahaha.
Actually, it seems that my oldest bro is more excited about getting a graphics tablet than I am:P Ahaha. He did all the research and everything and even found articles and stuffs. So now I'm opting for a Wacom Intuos or a Wacom Graphire. most likely a graphire though. I'm comforting myself by saying that I would do my very best and can produce an artwork as professional as an Intuos when using a Graphire:P
I've considered getting a graphics tablet since the very beginning but I thought I wouldnt use it much because i would start University soon and it's not like I'm going to take graphics designing or anything. I'm opting for medicine and as much as I CAN do like heart diagrams and everything, i don't think medicine requires much of the use of a graphics tablet. But oh well, it's an investment. Who knows it'll come in handy some day...
So in conclusion, instead of spending hours with pencil and paper, I would be spending hours with a stylus and the computer:P ahahaha. I have only 1 more page til I finish my sketchbook!:D so it's a good err..closing? ahahaha. It took me 3 years to finish drawing in it. Ahaha. I can't help it, the paper is so nice and smooth, I just can't start drawing in it unless I feel total inspiration so that I would draw something nice. And so because of that, it's taken soo long for me to fill it up. But then someone got mad at me and so i started drawing in it no matter what, even if i don't feel total inspiration and finally, it is done:) With a mixture of my total inspired and not-so-totally inspired drawings. Ahaha.
So here, a loooong post. Chalga:D

A Graphire is perfectly ok. =) As long as you don't try an Intuos, I'm guessing you won't know the difference. XD My Graphire3 is about 4 years old already, and physically slightly worn out but it still works, Alhamdulillah. =D Just needs some driver downloads sometimes.
And yeah, it's totally fine for hobbies too! Even I haven't really used the tablet for school stuff (but mainly because we're supposed to do things by hand, manually =T ), just for personal art and as a replacement for a mouse/touchpad. =P (I dislike both, especially the latter.)
That's true, about keeping a sketchbook... Don't be afraid of messing it up, or else it won't be called a sketchbook. =p
it's amazing that u can keep up with other blogs. And it's nice to know that u read my posts and even reply them:P
Anyways,I went to the PC fair and half the people I asked, they were like "Graphics.. card?" ahaha. SO my dad said that a graphics tablet is something that not EVERYONE is looking for so then they didnt have it:( I didnt get my graphics tablet:'( but then my dad says that maybe we'll go somewhere else and find the Graphics tablet!:D Wheee..
But then again, one of my friends said it's better to get a laptop for studies and everything.. so now I'm in a dilemma>_<
Oh well. ahaha.

Oh, haha, blog-hopping's my hobby, can't let a day pass without checking my Google Reader. :D I just like reading/listening to stories, 'tis a nice distraction from my own life. -_-
Yea, most people wouldn't know what a Wacom tablet is... I'm surprised the PC fair didn't have them, though. O_o (Graphicscardbuatpe! >< ) I don't know where my dad bought mine, but I did print out a list of distributors in KL from the Wacom site and gave it to him, there were quite a few. :D And mine was like RM200, I think, so you should be able to find some around that price too.
Missy Elf, it's not laptop and graphicstablet. its either laptop OR graphicstablet:P
Ahahaha. Anyways, graphic designing=graphics tablet does it not?:P
N btw aneesah, its only rm 200??:O when my brother checked it out, he was like.. the Graphire is rm600 and the Intuos is rm1K plus>_<
So yeah. iL check out the wacom distributors in KL:D
thank yous:D
goshh y can't it be BOTH?!
thn of cz la laptop.. nods**
u x need ze tablet- jst continue with ur drawings.. start painting mann!! OR buy laptop first.. THEN ze tablet!
no.. jst cause there's the word "graphics" in it.. doesn't mean it uses .. ze tablet..
GD is more on poster adds, magazine.. business card.. layouts.. cards... the billboards.. etc.. illustration.. well.. they.. make logos more thn the GP.. and more.. ilustration stuff .. ahaha..
OH RIGHT! u guys use RM! yeah.. i think ahmad saw a better version of it.. u cud definitely gt a cheaper price.
N u cud always go 2.. EBAY!! ;P
OUCH. 600 ringgit?! No way! D= I think right now kalau dah naik harga pun maybe RM300-400 tops. And this is the lower-end Graphire lah, Intuos and Cintiq lain citer. ^^;
Or... you knowww, you could buy a tablet PC! :D It's a laptop AND a tablet, so it's possible! x) But the tablet's sensitivity is way less then even a graphire, but hey, you said you might need a laptop... ;D Tablet PCs are very mahal though, unfortunately. =/
