Save the Cat 2

Ok here is the story I experience today, like I say I'm not a cat fan. So anyway about 4 days ago, my mum opened the garage door to get the grass cutter out of the garage. Apparently a local cat went inside, it was found a day later that the cat was inside. My mom assumed that the cat left so everybody was happy.
But the story didn't end there, today we found the cat still living in the garage and survived for 4 days!!!
Since we use our garage as a storage, we have tons of things in there and the cat hid in the corner. So we had to clear out the stuff, I was prepared with my garden gloves just in case it attacks me.
I grabbed the cats tail/leg, but it clawed on the floor. So much resistence since I tried to save it.Second time I used proper force to pull it out and throw it outside and saved the cat.

點心 Dim Sum

For those who don't knoe Dim Sum:
"Dim Sum is a Cantonese phrase (点心), literally "touch the heart" but meaning "morsel/snack". It may be derived from yat dim sum yi, meaning a "a little token". Though the English word "dim sum" refers to the Cantonese variety, the idea of a wide variety of small dishes for lunch also holds for other regions of China.
Equivalent terms, such as dian xin in
Mandarin, exist in other varieties of Chinese, as a generic term for any of a variety of snacks or small food items. The terms "northern dian xin" or "Shanghai dian xin" have thus come into use. These dian xin are, however, not necessarily Cantonese dim sum, although the two still share the same written script in traditional and simplified characters.
In
Australia the word dim sim is used for a particular kind of dumpling."

Basically it's like China speciality meal like Japanese Sushi.

It comes to my attention that Dim Sum in Birmingham sucks. Actually to be precise there are only a few restuarant that makes Dim Sum rather than cheap mass produced Dim Sum that you can buy for about £5 for 50. I mean London use to have good Dim Sum but it's quite bad now.

These are samples of Dim Sum that I've taken when I was 11 (My dad made these):



More pics will be hosted pretty soon:

I'm not dead

I'm not dead yet, I'm just very busy over the last uni days. Uni's life is good but not much of social time...
Animation course is awesome, I'm learning Maya program (Used in Pixar hit movie Toy story and Square Enix's FFVII:Advent Children). I'm surprised by my outcome of my flipbook, I though it wouldn't work out but I was wrong... But now I'm on my 5th week out of my 8th week so I have to hurry on my final 20 weeks...
Compostion is really dreading me, I'm really hating the whole typography and I hate the teacher.

Ok I seen Children Of Men, a really good film. It has a open ending but I like it but my sister hates it.

Speaking of films, I'm really pissed off with "The departed". A remake of Hong Kong film "Infernal Affairs", how can the remake that looks so bad is better than the original!!!

I try and post more from now on.
