~~~~~Little Brother!!~~~~~

What a great weekend I had this week... It was full of fun, laughter, learning and worshipping... So far, after having a drop last week, this week turned out to be alright, I guess...

Let me tell you about what went on yesterday... I woke up early in the morning to meet Jeremy at Tampines MRT Station... It was around 10am... Why did I meet him so early?? Well, read on... We took the train to Eunos and to meet Zhao Yi, Lester and Alex... Lester was the last one that we had to wait... Anyways, we took bus 13 to one funny looking house... To be exact, it does look like a house but it was actually a studio... Now, let me tell you why were we there... We went there to do a casting for our IGV lecturer's film... His story was about brotherly love... It was like an Ah Beng film... One of us had to act as the big brother and the other was the little brother... Guess what my role was... Well, I was acting as the little brother all the way through... If you know what type of character I have, then you'll know what the role of the little brother was... It was a really fun experience learning how to act...

After our casting, Lester, Zhao Yi and I went to play pool at Marina Square... As for Jeremy, he went to jam with his fellow church members... It was my very first time playing pool with Zhao Yi and I got to say, he's good... As for Lester, since I played with him pool a few times before, I finally managed to win him once... I finally placed in the black ball... Good game dudes... After that, Jeremy came to join us for lunch... We ate at a restaurant that we hadn't been eating for the past 2 years... It was none other than Kenny Rogers... What a great day I had guys... Thanks!!

Let's carry on what went on today... Today's sermon was preached my Rev Jonathan Seet and it was about giving tithes... No matter how much we earn, we should always give back 10% as that's the Lord's money... Although we're giving 10%, the most important thing is that we give whole heartedly... It was a sermon to be learnt as giving 10% to the Lord is something we should practise...

Well... gonna chill out on my guitar for a while before hitting the sack.... so cya real soon alright.... bye folks........
so long and goodnight, so long and goodnight............ TaKe CaRe you all yo....

~~~~~I Missed!!~~~~~

Today was one of my favourite days I guess... Well, it's the 21st and in 2 months time, it's a special day for me...

Anyways, during IGV lesson, I presented our M8 script work and synopsis to one of our lecturers... The good news she gave us was that our story would be an interesting short film but the bad news was that we had to change the mood of the story... What we planned on doing was somehow quite emo but she advised that we make it into a comedy since our dialogue doesn't fit in that mood... Well, it was quite a heart aching experience hearing that at first but she has a point... Viewers, including myself, would prefer to watch a comedy rather than some sad old movies... So, we planned on starting a new concept of our story tomorrow...
During SW lesson, we did our last station for NAPFA, which were our sit-ups... After that, Randy, Ricky and I went to the street soccer court to do none other than, playing soccer... Since there were only three of us, we played penalty... I shot in a few goals and blocked a few goals too... Later on, Terence joined us... He wanted to be goalkeeper a while... The funny thing happened when I was about to score... I wanted to do a step-over but much to my disappointment, I tripped and fell... To be exact, I stepped on the ball instead of using my foot to go around the ball and thus, I fell... Hurt my foot for a while but continued on playing after that... Justin and Shun Keat joined us later on too... So we decided to have a 3-on-3 match... I did a step-over again and finally connected with a scoring opportunity at the end... After such a great game, Randy, Ricky and I went to chill at Cafe 2 for a while... We made our separate ways after having our drinks...

Well... gonna chill out on a new synopsis and script for a while before hitting the sack.... so cya real soon alright.... bye folks........

~~~~~Sour to Sweet!!~~~~~

Let me start off with what I did the whole of yesterday... I woke up at around 1pm thus, my whole morning just drifted away in my dreamland... Well, sad to say, I couldn't recall what I dreamt at all... If you try waking up around that time, you'll feel that your whole body will start to ache a bit... So lesson learnt, hopefully, never sleep for too long... I only took my lunch at 3pm, since I took my very late breakfast at 1.30pm... What else can I eat for lunch?? Well, you don't need to crack your brains to get it right... I ate cup noodles... Chicken Koka noodles to be exact... I went to my grandparents' place, with my mum, for a Yoshinoya dinner that we bought for them and us to eat...

Today was the best day for my entire week... I went to church today and worshipped the Lord... That's only the beginning my friends... Sermon was also very entertaining, light heartening and something that we all can reflect onto our lives... Uncle Charlie preached saying that cuteness, beauty, muscles and etc. won't last but what we'll carry on is His gift onto us... Each of us has a special and unique skill that we acquire and that is what the Lord has given onto us... That is something that will last till the day we are no longer here... Today was the day that was a turnover for me... From a sour week that I faced, to a sweet week thanks to the Lord... THANK YOU!!!

Well... gonna hit the sack right after this.... it's been a long day.... so cya real soon alright.... bye folks........

~~~~~Worst Week!!~~~~~

I have no idea what's wrong or what's happening for this whole week... It's one of the worst weeks I would like to put behind... I can't believe that things turned out sour at the end... I'm feeling stressed, worn out and upset with myself... Anyways, let me start off at the beginning of the whole shitty week...

Monday... We had Napfa test today... I don't mind doing Napfa test but the only problem was that for the past 3 weeks, we haven't even had our PE lessons... No training at all... We had to self-train and judging from our timetable, we'll come back with our heads on our pillows... We had to do 4 stations... Shuttle Run, Sit and Reach, Standing Broad Jump, Chin-Ups and 2.4km run... It was a shock to most of our bodies after our 2.4km run as it was long time since we touched the tracks...

Tuesday... We got scolded by one of our lecturers for not completing our pre-production for M7 video project 1... He gave the whole class an "F" for not handing all the paper work in time like script, storyboarding etc... All of us were very upset and some even broke down, not in a crying manner... Since most of us completed our script after that lesson, we still submitted in our hard work at our last slot of IGV...

Wednesday... Second day after Napfa and most of us were still walking like robots... It was quite funny though as we had a hard time sitting down and standing up... We even had trouble walking...

Thursday... Yesterday, we did our video project 1 filming... It was a 5 minutes short film and our story was about friendship... We managed to finish in time but returned our equipment a few minutes later and thus, most of us got our marks deducted... We were not the only ones... Most of the groups also shared the same fate... Well, I guess this would be a learning lesson for all of us... Punctuality is very important in the filming world...

Friday... Today, all we did was discussed on our script and shot list... After that, I went for my guitar CCA... Surprisingly, Justin came along too and he even brought his electric guitar... He wanted to discuss with our guitar instructor about our graduation night... Glad that you came man... Nice mini amp by the way... I was supposed to go for my bible study just now but came back extremely tired and fell asleep... I woke up around 9pm to have my dinner... I felt that I could have just pulled myself up and attend bible study but my body won't let me to... I'm really very sorry Lord for not attending your lesson, please do forgive me...

Well... gonna hit the sack right after this.... so cya real soon alright.... bye folks........

~~~~~Silence, Camera rolling, ACTION!!~~~~~

The three words used on the actual filming set... Silence on the set, Camera rolling and ACTION... They had to make sure that the sound was alright, sun was at the right angle and which position is the camera supposed to be facing...

This morning, I had to wake up early again as Jeremy and I had to go to Lorong Buangkok to help out Mr Boi and his crew... Not only to help but to learn a few tips as well... It was produced and directed very well... The actors and actresses were sometimes complaining but they were still persistent on finishing their parts... The enjoyable part of watching films in the making is that, the actor or actress forgets their lines or says a total different line... The first few times of saying the same line was alright but after a while, they would forget and that's the funny part... The way they actually forget their lines are beyond words... You have to be there to enjoy the making of a short film... It's too bad that Jeremy and I had to leave half way as we had to go back to church... Jeremy has fellowship every Saturday and I have to help out with the Bible Olympia the church I attend organised...

Overall, the 7 hours on the set, 9am to 4pm, were very enjoyable and knowing the different types of camera angles and environment really makes different impacts... I feel that I have learnt lots of different stuffs put together on today's set that I attended... I wonder what the ending would turn out to be... I can't wait to find out...

Well... gonna hit the sack right about now.... it's been a rather very long day once again... so cya real soon alright.... bye folks........ so long and goodnight, so long and goodnight............

~~~~~Check + Up!!~~~~~

Today was all a different day for me... I didn't attend classes and for one main reason, my NS medical checkup... So instead of waking up the usual time to go to school, I had to wake up to go for this...

It lasted for 3 hours plus, excluding the IQ test... I have to go on a different day for my IQ test as they had too many people to handle... The checkup wasn't as bad I thought it was... In fact, everything was kind of fast... I guessed that they've been doing these stuffs for quite a while now... I actually thought it would be scary or what but everything went on with the flow... Different stations, different checks...

Anyways, for this whole week, my group members and I have been working hard on producing out the script... Although our first draft was slightly unrealistic, we're now working on an improved version... The dialogue has been changed and more into the character himself... Hope that it would be an acceptable script...
Well... gonna hit the sack now.... it's been a long day... so cya real soon alright.... bye folks........

~~~~~BABY!!~~~~~

Church was good today... My nose bled again on the way to church but that was the final time as until now, no bleeding... I hope that's true... I was on duty at church today and I had to get my hands onto the audio mixer and computer...

Anyways, after church today, I went to meet my pals from my class at Punggol MRT station as we were going to see a baby... A baby that is close to all of us... A baby that is from our very own Class Advisor... A group of us went to her house to pay a visit and to look at her adorable baby boy... It's been a more than 1 month since we last saw our Class Advisor... We had so much to tell but everything had to come to the end as she had an appointment to attend and we didn't want to be in her way... We enjoyed ourselves there very much... God Bless You and Your Family Mrs Cheong!!

Well... gonna start working out on the script before hitting the sack.... so cya real soon alright.... bye folks........

~~~~~Click Your Life Away!!~~~~~

Since I can't find the time to blog everyday, I shall make effort to at least blog once a week... Speaking of my week, I feel that but flu is not fully cured yet... Hope by next week, I would be able to breathe without having any blockages...

Anyways, for the past week; my days were not too bad I must say... It was the second week of school and projects were coming in fast... IGV was getting more and more interesting... We learnt what 3 point lighting was and how to make our actor or actress 3d-like... Speaking of IGV, finally our synopsis for M8 was accepted and we were given the green light to go on with our script writing...

Today was my sis's birthday... I'm not going to announce her age here as well, she'll do something nasty to me... Anyways, we had our lunch at Pariss, along with my grandparents, aunty, uncle and cousins... It was a scrumptious meal... Happy Birthday Sis!! May God Bless You and May All Your Wishes Come True...

After lunch, my mum and I went to watch the movie "Click"... It was a very entertaining movie... The way the story was plotted was something we had seen a thousand times but they made it so different that we came out excellent... If you need a good laugh, I recommend this to you... Although this would make you laugh your head off, it's also heart warming as it comes with sad moments... It's a heart touching must watch comedy movie and the morale of the story is that, never take what you have now for granted... Treasure the people around you as time will pass by in a blink of an eye...

Well... gonna chill out on my guitar for a while before hitting the sack.... so cya real soon alright.... bye folks........
