Website Update~!!!

Its been a while since I last update www.artist-llau.com.
Took me a while to figure out what to do for this summer.
I figure out that my old design/layout doesn't look professional enough, so I decided to give this portfolio site a new look.
And here it is, a new look website which is more Maroon than Red, with a more cleaner code.



It took a couple of days to learn how things worked, tinkering, designing, coding and all, but all in all, things will be coming more and more now. It's easier to understand and things will be updated.

Website Complete....

WOOOT  WOOOT~!!!

 
Finally I have finally completed my own portfolio website, and there will be more updates soon.
It took me at least one and a half months just to figure out the coding from Dreamweaver, layout from Photoshop
and Scripts from Java, to put together a basic website. 
 
Its has a clean layout so its easier to navigate. 
Most importantly is that I have my demoreel, and artwork uploaded so I could show you my work.
 
Even better is that I put lightbox code to overlay images on the current page. Its so COOL~!!!!

"Gold or nothing" My Reaction on Liu Xiang's Withdraw...



If you know Liu Xiang, you will know him as a famous 110m Hurdler from China, who won the gold medal in Athens 2004. His 2004 Olympic gold medal was China's first in a men's track and field event. Liu Xiang in China has been treated like a celebrity, because he set a new standard on China's position on Track and Field for many Olympics to come. Yet the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, its a different story.

Liu bore national expectations of a repeat victory on home soil in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. China deemed another gold medal from Liu is essential for a successful Olympics for the whole country. I was at a friends house witnessing history if Liu successfully defending his gold medal . But as you can see, everything went wrong when you see him grabbing his right leg as if he's in pain. The worse part is when he re-aggravated his right leg after a false start and was forced to withdraw and unable to defend his Olympic Gold Medal, leaving a crowd at the Birds Nest Stadium stunned in disbelief. It turns out that Liu has suffered from a chronic inflammation in his right Achilles’ tendon, and has been hampered by it for more than 5 years, according to his coach. The injury would force Liu to unable to compete for the rest of 2008. The aftermath of the event is much worse as he'll be facing media and public scrutiny, to find what went wrong. According to a report on CBC, the blogs of the state broadcaster, CCTV, were not as forgiving. "We cannot accept that Liu Xiang quits! Liu Xiang dispels the passion of Chinese people," read one web posting.


THIS IS MY REACTION

As a Canadian with Chinese Heritage and a fellow Liu, I am very disgusted by the Chinese people and the medias reaction on Liu Xiang's withdraw and how they treated him after the race. The crying and outpouring of grief of the 1.3 Billion people in China is pathetic, selfish and self-centered! The guy has an Achilles tendon injury and is a death to performance of any runner and no amount of trying will overcome it. Yet since its Beijing 2008, National Pride comes first. China has focused all of their medal hopes on this one man. One of their National sports directors has publicly announced that "if he fails to win the gold, all of his previous accomplishments will be meaningless." He's human, not a tool for National Pride!!!  You got almost 40- something gold medals, way ahead of the United States, and yet you still dogged a man who risk his body, just for the sake of National Pride? UNBELIEVABLE!!!

I, for one, am glad that Liu Xiang has the courage of walking out of the competition in front of his 90,000 supporters. Do they want to see their national hero leaving the stadium, on a stretcher? I know that Liu wanted to defend his gold medal on home soil, but the pressure of 1.3 billion people in a country, just crushed him. Hope that Liu would successfully recover from his injury and will hopefully will see him again in 2012 London Games... in top form.

Peace out
