Hi ^-^

Hi I like your wallpapers! They ar cute
How are u?

Woow so many long comments
hii^^
long time no talk

I'm So SORRY for the late reply!
Forgive me, I haven't forgotten or ignored you, I've just been totally completely truly madly deeply buried in crapload of things to do lately ..

Thanks for the awesome messages on my page - you are so so so nice *hugs*
(you don't have any allergies against people giving you hugs, do you?? some people do .. ^^;;)

Gosh - what a year it has been!
This yeah's been a really tough year in one aspect but another it's been one of the most exciting year I've had! I've had anything and everything from successes, failures, happiness, tears, joys, stress, personal growth, more stress, engagement - anything and everything you name it! It's been one crazy rollercoaster ride I tell you that ..
And I hate rollercoasters, make me sick (literally) >_<

Really can't wait for next year, though at the same time a bit nervous/anxious looking into the unknown, especially with my wedding coming up .. (and the to-do list hasn't gotten smaller - yikes!)

How about you? Any resolutions for the new year?
For me I would like to explore new areas of arts stuff like drawings, animation and arts. I'd still love to be walling but I prolly have to cut it back a little if I want to achieve all that and still keep my marriage intact - LOL! ^^;;;;

Enjoy your holidays!
(hey, that means you should be able to wall more - where are they?? ^^)

Hello0o!
thanx for the comment and fav
on my totoro wall ^^
happy you liked it =D
sorry about the pen and pencil though ^^;

Howdy Zem. Long time since our last chat so i will make this long ^_^
Before i get into it, I'm just wondering which country you are living in now? Its not too personal, just curious thats all XD

It seems Minitokyo bandwidth has increased now as I am able to surf through their interface and download scans at an extraordinary speed. Since I'm on cable, (like you) I'm expected to get the same speed as I'm browsering through AP or surfing the net. If I don't get that, they just lost themselves a great user and many more users in the community who has the same thought, unless Minitokyo is their second or first home for walls and scans ^_^

I use to have dial-up connection and my god, it was slow. Downloading files took ages like 10mins for a 3meg file. Now it only takes less than 60secs depending on the bandwidth of their server but still a significant difference. I never experienced browsering AP on a dial-up connection but I'm sure don't want to try that.

Fixing up some of your walls huh, thats great. Trying to get the lines looking sharper makes the image itself looks more crisp and clean. First impression counts and when i full view a vector wall, i always look at the character vectors first before i look at the background.

In looking in your works list, I'm really looking forward to "My Neighbor Totor" wall. I've been such a fan of this movie, i can't get it out of my head. I first watched it when i was 4 years old. It was on video and i watch it at my friends place. He allowed my to borrow it so i can watch it again at home because he knew i loved it so much. When i got home and tried to play it, my VCR somehow couldn't read it. It was a old crappy VCR anyway but it was able to play all of my parents chinese videos. I was so disappointed where i almost cried. Oh the memories. I love it how it all comes rushing back when I look at walls which represents my favourite series or movies. ^_^

Thats it for now.
I will see you around. Later

Thanks for the comment, Zem. i'm glad you like it. oh and Happy Halloween, hope you had a great one.

now to your message. ^^ i will now write a comment on your deviantart piece, and i'll add you to my watchlist, i also have a deviantart account. i really think it is fantastic, really love it.
yeah family is sometimes a sad thing. there aren't often that kind of a connection between everybody. we're the same in that kinda things, so i totally understand your point of view. sadly i haven't a good advice on that, i also don't like these things. i think it will be hard not carring for them, i couldn't do that. i'm the kind of person who always says yes to everything and when it's to late i wished i had said no, but i can't really do that. it's hard to say no, even to people who treating you not all to great. well for me it's really not that easy to do.
okay so then i have to wait till it's done. ^^ so hope everything's well anyways at your place.

Sure Zem, sry I didn't notice your post, but yeah, np on the friends thing. I'll get back to posting once I get a break sometime this week. Cya bud.

You wrote me a message already, sometimes i get confused by that, too. and sometimes i just don't answere messages :D. i think must write back to 3 people. ^^
you know, about the family comment of yours - totally agree with you. i'm the same, i see my friends more like a family than my real. cause there were always times were i just don't felt i belong to them. on the other hand there times i feel i belong to them. kinda twisted with that thing, but usual i stay more at my friends than the family. we getting along okay, not that super but i couldn't say they all hate me or something. the only one who real hate me is my dad, it seems. i never talked to him in 14 years so i don't know. but i doesn't want to talk to me, ever i tried in the past he let people say he's not there or just hang off the phone.
well let's just jump to another topic, the one we now end here makes me always so sad. T.T
why not, are you busy with school or work? you don't need to go anywhere, you can relax at home as well as somewhere else. to be honest holidays are always stressing and being at home is boring after a while, but you can relax as well. ^^ try it you just have to do what needs to be done and all the other things have to wait. you just need to be a bit selfish, at this rate when you are tired and feeling bad everyone must understand it.
oh about checking walls, i was so super lazy and on the other hand i haven't had the time to anything with it. oh i die on this one, i know i have to do so much and improve this and that so it felts kinda hard to me to work on it. so far i just deleated some steps. so i know where i was when i get back to work on that.
oh okay, i'm also on deviantart, but i can't draw and i think it won't be worthy to upload something. i will comment your pic when it's done, don't worry i can wait. ^^ so take your time on that.
so what did you had on your mind? *i'm so curious sometimes, especially when someone makes such a mysterious out of it like you did. :D *jk*
okay so until nour next little talk here on AP. well take care. ^^

Hey you
thank you for the fav on my kh wall.
i tried to make it so the design didnt overlay on sora, but when i did, he stood out too akwardly, so i just made the design stand out a little less over him. but thanks for the critique anyway :)

so how are things with you? school is keeping me really busy.. and no i'm not on a break yet. i don't get one until december (for Christmas).. so i'm just counting down the days.
well anyways, i gotta keep this short because i'm suuuper busy. so i hope all is well with you and i'll see ya around!

take care

Hey there Mr. Zem!
i've finally finished a wall and i just submitted it! so i just thought i'd let you know because it has been a while since i've done anything here :P

I cannot describe my utter fascination with your long messages :D
I love them, so don't stop ^^
So, what's up?

Argh, no, no break for me, my classes have started this week, but hey, it's still way much better than having exams! XD
(yeah, my exams went great, I passed all I needed to, so mew's happy!!)
Feels good to get back here...I don't know when my next wall will be ready, right now I'm making a FMA wall for a friend, it's a request... I usually don't make walls on request simply because when I make a wall, I have my own vision of it, which is usually much different from what someone else has in mind. But this is sort of special, so...
Haha, so you're full of ideas, eh?
You know, same thing happens to me, I start working on something, then I get a idea how to make another wall, I start working on that other one, and so on...I have 10 project, more or less, waiting to be done, and when will that be? I don't know, but I hope I'll find out soon LOL

Oh gosh, usernames... well, when I chose mine, I obviously wasn't feeling very serious that day :p
I don't know, but I usually choose some funny (weird?) nicks... when I just remember some of them... wow, what was I thinking? :D
Well, al least you must admit there's not many 'mewchoochoo's around here HAHAHA...

Oh man, my music library...lots of songs there, and lots of cleaning needed, I'd say...every day I keep on adding/removing songs from my list...I think there's around 200 of my all-time fav songs.
Do you listen anime OSTs, j-pop and stuff like that? I personally like some anime songs a lot, but I'm not really a *biggest fan* of it...I still prefer things like rock, blues, classics...

Time for me to go...
ciao to you too ;)

Hi there Zem. Another late rely as usual but i hope you understand my circumstances. Work and college very soon ^_^

I tend to vector the image before i colour but now i'm doing it your way. Vectoring the image and colouring it the same time. If I do this, I will get a clearly image of the my vector image and at the same time compare it with the scan. This way, I can change it to suit my perference or edit the image to suit my liking. Just a question, I recently notice your walls are all stokes instead of shapes, can you confirm that with me? Like i'm gonna start using shapes from now on. It makes the image look more sharper but its extra long to do. But the effort is worth it in the end, don't you agree? ^_^.

Ur right, Minitokyo categories are confusing but i'm still able to find scans from a particular category i want. Sometimes the scans and walls are at the same categories and this is where i hate. Sometimes when i look at the paper and think it's a scan i like, i click on it and it turned out to be a wallpaper instead. Talk about the effort in just clicking on the thumbnail.

Everybody a leecher from time to time. Its either from downloading walls or files from bittorrent. Same here, download lots of files and then realised half of it is junk and i just delete it immediately. Do you have cable or dial-up? I have cable so i don't mind downloading many stuff. Their all fast downloads anyway with less that a minute wait depeinding on the file size and the speed of the receiving end. I think its called bandwidth. Low bankwidth, slower the speed.

I always love your long comments, they are never overwhelming. your just like anolibb, my other friend where you both have something in common, long comments XD.

Well thats it for now.

I will see you around!

Oh cool you're a mix! My kids would be mix too, I'm asian and my soon-to-be-hubby has mediterranean background. But he's also a mix so it's all mixed up lolz!
Always interesting to guess which of the parents characteristics would get passed down to the kids, but for my kids I'm hoping they get my skin, my hairlessness and everything else can come from my hubby - lolz!
Goodness - what am I doing talking about kids??! *wipes thoughts off ..*

Lolz so you have a girl 'twin' who's not really your 'twin'?? That's great - lolz!!
Funnily enough I actually have similar experience with having that kind of a 'twin' - was one of the seniors my sister used to be friends with. But I only went to that school for a year, so that didn't go on for long time - lolz!

My primary school also started at 7am but luckily my parents would drive me so it only took 10mins. But 6am for exam prep - gahh I'm glad I'm not doing that anymore .. lolz!

Nah my trip was just a family visit overseas - wasn't a honeymoon!
We might do a cruise for the honeymoon .. *looks at to-do item #34*

Can I see your drawings? I've been itching to practice my drawing again but walling's taken most of my spare time now (what spare time?!) which is alright, it's still a productive time to practising and learning new skills. I'm heavily getting into digital painting lately, which I would love to spend more time practising. I don't think I have a DA account, but I prolly will create one when I start doing more non-anime works ..

How exciting, only if I can be earning money doing this stuff ..

Oops better go, have to get back at my walling cage ..
Take care matey, see you around! ^^

Hey Zem!

hehe wow, what a long message, but i read it all! :)
that's cool that you're venturing to other artsy areas, but i hope you don't give up on walling! i'd also love to see your other stuff too, is it all on deviantart?

well things with me are alright, i'm right in the middle of midterms; i've had 3 this week and another next week... *sighs*.. i think i've reached my studying peak. i just can't study anymore!! ahhh!!
hehe i'm ok.

ok well i gotta go study some more now (or at least try to) so i'll talk to ya later!

take care
