day4 -part2

after class... all of us gathered at pieggie's house to wait for PJ and Boey... since their class ended at 2pm and ours ended at 5.. i assume they left the uni already....


our journey to selayang is not as smooth as it is suppose to be... as we got lost.... stuck in the jam... etc etc... why is everytime going to selayang a diasater??!!! sheesh.... i'll never ever get there 1 shot smoothly.... by not getting lost and stuff... ish ish ish...

anyway.... this is when i missed the opening ceremony of the beijing olympics...


reached festiny's place at around 9 something.... rushed off for a bath and get things settled down and start setting up....

eggy is always busy with her phone.....

day4 -part1

oopps.... after so many days... i totally forgotten that i have left my mv progress reports behind... heee...


here's days 4...


Friday.... today's comm theory tutorial class was cancelled... so we took the free time in the morning to shoot the swimming pool part of our mv... at ken iii apartment... thanks to bear's friend... adrian for helping us persuading the guards...


due to the security guards' pestering.... not many photos were taken.... at first they say we can shoot as long we dont shoot the building... then suddenly they said that we lied to him about shooting and we are not allowed to shoot again... ish... bising betul~~



photos floating on the water....











those in white shorts are my legs you're looking at.......







and i can assure you that the water is super-dee-duper cold!!! it's 8 in morning!!!








Poor PJ had rashes on his legs due to the cold water...

Just dont ask...

MV screening

yes... i have realised that i have been taking long breaks from blogging ever since my mv shooting week.... yup... i do know that... but that's not the only thing that is stealing off my blogging time... there are also... copywriting print ads, multimedia website and print ads AND ambient ad.... several random items that just plainly stole my blogging time... oh ya!!! and not forgetting.... my individual broadcasting ii assignment... although i'm not really involved in the editting part of the group assignment (MV) but i still have to do some shooting and editing of my own for my individual 4-shots documentary.... within 30 seconds!!! which is very very very short!!!!

it was our group assignment screening day today.... but as usual i went to school early to attend my last japanese 2 lecture... which mainly consist of video-watching and revising.... and i bought the text for japanese 3.... so now i'm really broke....


after class... pieggie and bear went to the mamak stall for lunch and i went off to tappers to meet cheng hui... when i was there... i though maybe i should test my assignment dvd to see if it opens or not... speaking about that... i stayed up till 1 something just to burn the damn videos into the dvd... i wasted 3 dvds just for that.... the first time was ok... since everything went successfully and it stated that the burning process in complete... but when i tested it.... much to my dismay..... THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE DISC!!!!! what the??!!! and i have been waiting for more than 1 hour for the thing to burn.... all down the drain la!!! ok fine... i'll do it again.... this time it went halfway and FAILED!!! apa la??!!! but i have to burn it into dvd-video format... so ok... i'll try again... and it's already 1am that time... so i left my computer on to let the thing continue burning while i took my so-called-short-nap and assuming that i will wake up in an hours time.... however... i woke up at 5 in the morning and again... it FAILED!!! why is this happening to me??!!!! so alright.. i'll give a last try and if this fails.. i'll have to find a way to explain to mr beh why my dvd is in avi format and cant be played thru the player.... so i gave the burning process a last chance.... while i get ready my stuff for uni... and lucky me.... it worked!!! finally!!!! phew....

so i went off to school... teman-ed cheng hui (actually it was me who needed company) for a while before going to the japanese class.... our territory (aka the discussion room) has been invaded by someone else this morning!!!!! ooohhh!!!! so instead we switch places and headed to the reading room...

ok back to the old story... i tested the dvd in cheng hui's ah cer but it cant open!!!! oh my tuhan!!! this cannot be... i tested it at home and it works and open fine... how come???!!!! feeling a little freaked out... i headed off the bear's house and tested it again using her laptop.... and thank tuhan... it worked ok... just like the way it worked when i tested it at home... double phew.... after cropping the cover for the disc i went to have a short nap in bear's room.... until i suddenly thought of something and woke up... didn't mohan said that we were suppose to hand in the disc before 1pm??!!! oh gosh!! it's already 1.10pm!!! we rushed off to get our stuff printed and rushed to pb to hand in the disc.... luckily i wasnt late.... "the importance of punctuality" (quoted, mr beh)


during the screening... each group will have to come to the front after their mv finish playing for a Q and A session witht he audience and not forgetting our lecturer mr beh and tutor ms foo.... all went off fine.... ours was towards the end because we were the 2nd last group for shooting.... and yup... mr beh and ms foo asked about the black and white background of our mv... ish!!!! didnt really see that coming.... i told them the reason why we used the black background once is because the singer stood out more in the white background.... maybe i should just blurt out the truth that the black background has several technical errors which was cause by our own carelessness.... however the part where the singer stood out more in the white background was the truth too!!! i'm not lying!!! just that i hid the major factor which i now regret for not saying it.... (luckily no lecturers are reading my blog...) anyway... i would like to stress the fact that i DID NOT LIE!! thank you very much....

after the whole screening session ended... cheng hui and i were walking back to our cars when the rain suddenly pour out of nowhere... it first started as a few big drops... then it turn into cats and dogs!!!! we were like running our way to our cars because there's no time to pull out the umbrella from our bag.... anyway.... i wasnt really wet... caught some drops....


and now... i'm officially free from whatsoever assignments... which also signify the end of the semester.... and aka.... "Finals are Coming!!!!!!" time sure flies.... subjects are getting harder and harder every semester.... so i'll just keep on pace... and try not to drop too hard....


here's my individual assignment.... it's a little lame... i'm aware of that... so please be prepared before watching.... and again.... 30 seconds is just TOO SHORT!!!!













after this... i'll be catching up with my sleep and at the same time cure my panda eyes....


p/s.... i'm so looking forward to my semester break plans.... heeee....


signing off~~

end of beijing olympics...



after 16 days... the beijing olympics 2008 has finally come to an end... although i missed the opening...


but luckily i still get to watch the closing... heee... along with my individual 4-shots assignment editing.... now i know... how i suck at editing.....





being in broadcasting is like a wake-up call to me... telling me that what i think is simple and easy is actually not really what as i thought it is.... things that i thought needed the least effort actually requires the most.... things that i thought i could easily manage turns out to be the hardest of all... its not just what i think it is anymore... its more about technical skills, drawing skills, design skills, editing skills, production skills and a lot of other skills which are not found within me...






sometimes i really wonder if i have chose the right course.... it's entirely my choice... my mom and dad were open minded enough to let me choose something that will decide my future.... so that means i have full responsibility of all the decisions made... i cant blame anybody for any problems i faced.... however... i'm not sure whether do i suite this field.... i was pretty certain that i belong to this field... but it seems like that because i'm compared to my other science stream friends who are currently doing chemistry, law, nursing, pharmacy, medicine,engineering..... and all other science related or non-communication-related courses... i just seem to be the most suitable out of some "unsuitables"....







i cant draw... i cant act.... i cant plan shots... i cant design.... i cant edit... and now i even doubt whether can i write anymore..... everything just seems so hard.... everybody is better....

but if anybody out there thinks that broadcasting is an easy-peasy course which you can just grab a degree with your eyes closed... think again... or just give it a try... you'll think twice before saying that this course is easy.... in my opinion... it might be just as hard as those science subjects out there.... so watch out...





ish.... apasal emo??!!! back to olympics...


time just rockets away... i still havent really put away the emo-ness in me because i missed the opening... and now i'm actually watching the closing... ironic...


I love the mascots so much!! BeiBei, JingJing, HuanHuan, YingYing and NiNi

Especially JingJing!!! because he's a PANDA!!!!

Cute!!!

day3, maybe not...

was actually planning to write a day3 report of the mv shooting progress but i'm not involved on that day... because it requires class-skipping.... and i became the representative to attend classes to jot down what the lecturer's taught.... i believe i mentioned that before.... so i guess i'll just skip that part and go on.... but i'm kinda lazy to be uploading photos which will cost me a lot of precious time... so i guess it'll be delayed till the next post then... or whenever i have to mood....

about today... as usual... reach school early.... nothing much to talk about.... except that after completing our squirrel print ad... eggy went of for breakfast date... so i'm left with with cheng hui but she's preparing for her presentation... so i shall not disturb her.... luckily i bought my external with me... so i watch some shows saved in my external.... end up laughing to myself and receiving weird looks from cheng hui from time to time..... then.... jessie came in and gave me similar looks whenever i'm laughing.... and then... titus arrived and did the same thing both of them were doing for the past 45 minutes......

then we were to see ms preesha to get some comments about our website... however... we went at the wrong time... she was having class and we'll have to wait until she's done with the class first before we can get her to check on our work... in the end... we were late for comm theory tutorials and the tutor was seriously pissed off by our actions... because a majority of the class were late... cant blame her anyway.... it's over the limits....

during break time... we started discussing about our genting trip after finals... woo-hoo!!!! really looking forward!!! we planned the transport... food... activities and stuff... until festiny ask us whether we could change the date from monday to tuesday... ohhh nooo!!! this is planned out early ago that we'll be going on a monday.... so no delays!!! heee....

anyway.. today's comm theory lecture has made into records of the least attended lecture class of all... around 25 students are present from a total of 3 courses join together.... and guess what... 10 of them are from bc3... hahahahaha......

although i'm currently drowned by assignments but i suddenly have the urge... crave of reading chic lits.... i tried bidding the shopaholic series by sophie kinsella on ebay but lost because i didnt notice the last time i was out bidded... aish!!! now all similar stuff on other shopping websites are above rm20..... not cheap!!!! currently also searching for meg cabot series... but most of them requires payment via paypal... which is something i dont have.... how???? i can only pay via bank transaction thru my maybank account.... susahnya!!! wanna support the reading culture also tak boleh..... hurdles everywhere.... mafan!!! the first hand new books available in bookstares cost rm35 something.... so expensive!!! how to buy???? i'll see where can i borrow these books...
but i'm a very slow reader... slow in a sense that i tend to stop halfway and continue drowning myself under assignments and exams.... so i dont think borrowing from the library is a good option....

i still cant install the dreamweaver software.... how??? what's wrong???

banyaknya problems ni.....

dodged...

after i reach home from school today.... i got to know that a parcel for me has arrived yesterday when i was busy shopping in pyramid.... so.... instead i'm left with a pink card telling me to collect it at the post office within 15 days or else.....

the post office closes at 4.30... since i reached home before 4.. i guess i could just go over and get my parcel instead of risking it being sent back to the sender because i may forgot all about it after this...

after retrieving my parcel.... i was on a hurry to rush back home... when i just shot off when the traffic light turned green.... well... doesnt sound wrong, right??? but nooo.... it's awfully wrong.... i was so focused on going home... i didnt realised that the green light was actually meant for those vehicles which heading straight but i'm planning to turn.... so i just turned and almost crashed into a toyota vios coming from the next lane..... luckily that guy jammed his brakes hard enough to stop and avoid the crash....

and lucky me too... there was no damage done towards both cars... however... i think the driver of that toyota vios is still cursing me like hell... and seriously doubt my driving skills and qualifications of getting a license.... so sorry man!!! i know that it is impossible for you to be reading my blog... but i just wanna say that i'm really really sorry!!! oh gosh.... i promise i'll be more careful next time!!!

Moonlight Resonance (summit USJ)

Let's now take a break from my mv shooting reports... i bet you guys are tired of them already by now... so i'll just shift your attention away... and provide you with some details about my life besides the mv shooting progress....



was just (not really just... around 3 hours ago...) back from summit... went there to see the moonlight resonance's actors....
Har Yu, Louise Li, Moses Chan and Tavia Yeung.....


moonlight resonance is a so-called sequel for heart of greed which was aired last year...

i reached there at 11.30am... the event starts at 12.30... but like any other typical meet-the-fans session.... it was delayed by half-an-hour... this is considered very good already!!! i have waited for approximately 2 hours before for Louis Koo...
so this is acceptable....
luckily i've huiping as company while waiting..... thanks yo!!!
the very first photo of the day....
i know one person is missing from the picture due to the very "awkwardly" positioned tv.... kacau-nye..... it just have to block the "Very Important Person"!!!
nevermind...
now i'm happy.....
waited until 1pm.... then only the host announced....
that they have arrived!!!

after a round of games and interviews.....

sorry... hands a little shaky with all the aunties pushing around....

It's autograph time.... (no.. i didnt went up and get their autographs... sigh...)

after autograph-ing.... its group photo time!!!!

then.... its time to say goodbye!!!
