I finally have time to write a proper entry on how emo, angsty and whatever's left of puberty that's still in me... With bmr literature review(s) and film journals behind me, and lots more to go, i'm more resolute that i'm GOING TO SURVIVE THIS SEMESTER! and whatever that the future is going to throw in my face... take that, future! *blows huge raspberry* I'm got a bad case of the cold... i'm coughing like i have tuberculosis...

I just came back from my stay at the Orientus country club, which was generously sponsored by my cds tutor... we mainly just ate and hung around and lessons were very relaxed... we were supposed to take photos... here are some...

view from the room i shared with huiyu, sarah and audrey





at lunch today... 许老师，me, 亚航，sarah, aud and huiyu. plus eddie below...



there were other more adventurous shots but they were in the other cameras and i don't know when i will get them...
and some shots of the surroundings...











blurry shot of a beautiful dragonfly...


so, time has been flying past and it's term break (no term test)... the 'quickness' of it all just makes me think, i'm going to be 18 soon, and what have i done so far that is significant enough to make me proud?

I haven't even had my first serious relationship (go ahead and laugh, i'm going to hold on to my idol drama+princess diaries fantasy), although the social life in general has been much better... i actually have people on msn who aren't in my class/school/work... I've made more friends!

i've become better looking (i'm not a narcissist!), although nothing happened on the weight front... just look at past pictures of me and now... i've changed a lot...

i've become more expressive... i'm no longer as shy as i was in secondary school... i was mean on purpose to some people today because they were being so redundant and saying stuff that was useless... not that i really wanted to be mean to them, it was three weeks of built up angst!

* i'm editing this post so the correct date is 2nd june 2007...

7 things i hate/dislike:

habitual lateness

waiting for people who are late (even though i'm early doesn't give you an excuse not to be on time)

taking your own sweet time (time's a wasting!)

last minute work (no one's going to make excuses for you...)

not being prepared (and thinking everything will be done for you...)

taking things for granted (money/answers don't fall from the sky, and when you realise that, i shan't be there to cushion the fall... it's not my lesson to learn...)

fickle-mindedness (the world does not revolve around you, you know!)

i'm desserts. geddit? shan't tell, what i mean though it's super obvious... teehee...

Audiopro assignment was a piece of shit... shan't talk about it either... shall just say that it was not up to standard... geezus... how am i going to survive?

I have no idea on how to go about doing bmr literature review...

msn is a little bonkers...


but the good thing is,

i have started my film journals

and i actually understood today's bmr lecture...

i'm randomly getting stomachaches and migraines pretty often... i get sick on the bus too... must remember to bring painkillers that the doc gave me... but they cause gastric if i don't eat, so i have to bring antacids too... and the antacid needs to be chewed or sucked and they make me want to hurl, so i'm in a real fix now... to hurl or not to hurl, that is the question... *SIGH*

i'm so frustrated... i am going to hate basic media research cuz i don't get anything about it at all, the tutor just makes the situation worse.... he doesn't give you an answer to your questions! i asked if there were any constraints on the topics for the 'witweetuwe (literature) wewiew (review)' and all he did was say shit, and shove the subject syllabus in my face, which didn't even answer my question, cuz there was only allocation of marks... yucks, add that to the rumours going around about him...
i started at gelare yesterday and it went pretty well, except that today i supposedly 'jumped the gun' and helped out where i wasn't supposed to... but whatever... i don't care... most important is that the customer is satisfied... saw models may and choy on my break yesterday though... they really are pretty!

Blogger has finally recovered from its messed up state... had my skills test for single camera today... Geez was it nerve-wrecking! miis chee was all serious and all, and she prompted me on the filter thing... but i think i should have got an A or B... i did alright... but i was shaking, don't know if it was because i was cold or nerves...Lots more projects to go...Wheee...

Damn i lost my PSA proposal when i went to the Plaza Singapura mac to meet my PiCC groupmates... I'm mad about the money... and the trouble i went to print it... but the meeting was fun...we chatted about everything but the project as usual... Yahang was there too, and we decided to help her with her english... Jia you!
Saw Kamalia on the way to the MRT station, glad to see she's doing well.
AudioPro was pretty cool too, we made a pretty fun commercial... my group now has munah in it, WELCOME!
Saw something sad though, i saw a dead cat that was run over. It managed to run a little way onto the pavement before being knocked out. God bless. I could put this in for my audio assignment...hehe...
Single camera skills test tomorrow, i hope i pass! Wish me good luck!

I am kinda rushing my PSA proposal for the single camera deadline on wednesday... I'm doing my pain-in-the-neck storyboard and its almost done! I just hope people don't think my PSA is some lame-o cheesy crap... it's on art, but it is much more relevant to your everyday lives... if i get to do it i will post it up... i seriously think that it will look great on screen... but meanwhile, for the damn thing to even have a chance of getting to pre-production, i got to finish the irritating proposal...

PS. thanks amalina for doing that interview for me... you were great... love you lots man!

These two clips are hilarious... I do not think it is insulting... I'm a Jolin fan myself...

I'm so mad and frustrated... guess what? i went for WSQ this afternoon after school and found that my name was NOT on the list to be assessed! Luckily someone was on MC so i could replace her... but although i passed in the end, i would much rather have been asked to go home because i was tired and virtually unprepared... i just hantam the questions part anyhow... i probably pissed tina off too... tina is the assessor and i've encountered her lots of times since i went for my first NSRS a little more than a year ago... then i met up with winston, we were supposed to watch bridge of terabithia but they didn't have it at princess, so we ended up going to the airport to mac... to sort of tell them what happened during the WSQ...

My memory is getting from bad to worse and i have to resort to writing every single thing down... i have lapses where i just space out all of a sudden.. i wonder if it's some serious disease... Oh no, i'm going to die! (that was random ok...) I have work tomorrow, an interview for project (and finally starting at gelare) the day after and a PSA proposal to hand in on wednesday... not to mention a dinner meeting with my PiCC group on tuesday night... it's no wonder my memory is deteriorating...

I'm doing this from school cuz i reached super early... don't know why but the results just don't seem to fit the template...

Yesterday and today were filled with great dinners...
Ribs at Tony Roma's yesterday (the family and uncle barry!) and pasta at New York New York today (with the PiCC group)... here's one pretty satisfied girl...
Anyway, audrey and i met up with our cds group members for dinner supposedly to discuss our mini presentation for saturday... but we ended up chatting about the most randomest stuff and goofing off... it was so fun...
I joined chinese stop press (the school newsletter) and went for the meeting before dinner... i have to cover graduation day and all that... which should be fun... Hooray for me cuz i finally have a cca! Haha... but projects are coming up..*dread*

P.S. Something i totally did not expect happened in the bus i was taking to the mrt station today that left me super emo... although thanks to my PiCC buddies i was able to forget it for awhile and i got super high on the mudpie and ice cream... no one but me knows what it is though... haha...

Tuesdays with Morrie is such a tearjerker... it's so touching... we watched it for apel...
But the highlight of the day was seeing ethan guo playing flash games and it was so funny! mr guo came to the audio classroom to help mrs nah with something while the rest of us were in the studios editing our material... tracy and i were first to make it back to the classroom and caught the interesting scene! they played some korean game and super mario la! we were laughing so hard... mrs nah was like 'ethan guo!'.... you have to be there to witness it for it to be funny....

Blogger is so screwed! But that will not deter me from posting!
Watched Citizen Kane for film t&c... much better that the Battleship Potemkin which failed to intrigue... it was quite good for a black and white film (which at least had dialogue), it portrayed a man (filthy rich, and had this estate called Xanadu, probably grander than Neverland, or wherever Michael Jackson stays...) who didn't quite understand what love was, although he was searching for it, he wanted everyone to love him, but ended up a sad old man who died alone...

Then we went to bugis junction's seoul garden to celebrate tracy's birthday and stuffed ourselves... me, tracy, audrey, anthony, gim siong and perry... gim siong tried to create some 'masterpieces'... no photos cuz we were busy stuffing ourselves... then went to take neoprints... all 6 of us... will post them when tracy scans them and sends them to me... we are now called 以后就会红... lol... the funny band of people... played arcade for a bit.. i played basketball, which is the only thing i will ever play at an arcade although i suck at games... then went to icon building to explore the place... they have quite interesting stuff, but we took about 20 to 30minutes to cover the building from 6th floor down... can't wait for the neos! haha... they look like family photos man, we actually got the guys to take with us!

the thing about 以后就会红 was something audrey, tracy and i cooked up in the taxi last week going to mediacorp... it's a variation of the funny trio (xiao zhu from 100% entertainment on channel u... we are always coming up with such ridiculous things... anyway... tracy has sent the photos and voila...
























































Gim Siong: Block the teddy bear cuz i'm the care bear!




















以后就会红





















so family photo-ish! somehow i like it...

I'm not sure what's wrong, but my screen currently looks like this...

I've been watching Hana Yori Dango I&II the past few days, which explains the lack of updates... even the memes... but i think this semester ain't gonna get easier... i just re-looked at the stuff i had to do for individual assignments:

6 film journals (i get a reason to watch movies i like, so i like),

a 12-page film term paper,

2 single camera proposals (i think it's about one inch thick each, and i don't know what kind of crap is going to go in),

2 literature reviews for basic media research (WHAT is a literature review, for crying out loud?!),

2 audio capsules (pet enthusiasts, look for me!).

the key word is INDIVIDUAL.

The group projects are mostly practical and should be done outdoors, so the only problem will coordinating our crazy schedules.

Just shoot me (again, i know.)

Adrian Pang is hot! My new idol... I went to watch a recording of Deal or No Deal with tracy, audrey and afiqah... Adrian Pang hosts, and he is totally cool! Remembering the script, and looking at the camera, the professionalism just left me awestruck... the suitcase ladies were pretty too, i must say, some more so than others... but we left after one episode (there were supposed to be two i think...) cuz we were so hungry! The wubbie totally sucked at warming up the audience though, he was so lame, and had the 'best' fashion sense with baggy leather pants and curly hair circa olivia newton john in Grease... Dinner was at Changing Appetites where had a huge parmesan fish and chips and a marshmallow mudpie!
