~~~~~Great Job Everyone!!~~~~~

YEAH!! Finally I can get to sit down, fingers on the keyboard and start blogging once again... Holidays just started yesterday, till the end of 3 weeks... Well, for me, holidays or no holidays makes no difference for me as we still have M8 in our hands...

Before I get started, I want to thank those people who came down to give us a helping hand for our M8... Names shall not be mentioned as I rather to keep them confidential... As long as you know who you are, this is for you... Thank You for giving your time to help us to make our scenes a success... Thanks You for being our talent for one of our scenes... You all really helped us a lot... I also want to apologise for being late... In fact, I owe you all a meal... So the next time we meet, remind me... On behalf of my crew, we want to say THANK YOU!!

So here what went on with my past week... On Friday evening, Simon, Ricky and I went to draw our equipment in order to film that night and Saturday night... The bad news was that we had no red-heads and thus, we couldn't film on that night... So we had no choice to film on Saturday and Sunday... We planned to leave our Sunday free but in the end, we had to use our Sunday...

Saturday... We started off in the afternoon to do our jamming scenes... I booked the studio for 4 hours and good thing I did because we made good full use of every single second... Good thing that we had extra people to help us out or else, I think even with 4 hours, it couldn't be done... Next up, we went on to film at Simon's house but this time, our lighting was better I must say... We managed to film the interior of Simon's room and now we're left with the exterior... We wrapped things up around 11.30pm and I reached home around 1am... You should have seen the cab fare when I reached home... 26 bucks to travel from Choa Chu Kang to Tampines...

Now for Sunday... I had duty in church this morning and it has been a long time since I last touched the audio mixer... I missed the chance to go up to the altar to take my Holy Communion as I was too busy on controlling the volume but in the end, I was so touched as they brought the Holy Communion to me... THANK YOU!! You all really made me glad and happy... Anyways, I didn't go for LG and SG as I wanted to come back home as soon as possible after lunch... I had to come back home to rest as I have to film in the night... We managed to film the scene finished thanks to the help we got... Thank You for your great acting and Thank You for giving me advice on my camera angles and teaching me stuff or two... THANK YOU BOTH!!

As for what went on yesterday... I went to school to return the equipments to our supervisor... I had to leave straight after that as I had to go for my IQ test at CMPB... My mum accompanied me there since she was on leave... After that, we ate lunch at Swensen's...

Back to the present day... I went to school today at noon... It was already the holidays and the school was very empty... Since I only went there to capture the tapes, I decided to go alone and let my crew take a break... So there I was alone in the lab, with many computers, a camera, firewire and a DV deck... I regret using the DV deck to capture as, for 2 hours, it couldn't capture and I was already using the 5th station... In the end, I couldn't take it anymore and decided to draw out the camera to capture the tapes... At last, it could be captured... It was already 5pm and I still haven't taken my lunch... Since I was all alone, I couldn't endure the hunger anymore and decided to call for help... I called, MacDonald's... They delivered soon after and finally, my lunch was served...

Well... gonna chill out on my Final Fantasy X-2 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.... NiTeZz to all my homies and fellow readers out there somewhere visiting my blogsite and reading about my daily activities... Thanks for visiting...

~~~~~3, 2, 1 and ACTION!!~~~~~

Another packed week again... Busier than ever but somehow, it's a good thing... It gives me lesser time to think about things going around my life...

So this was what went on for my past week... On Monday, it was our submission for first MTV... The good news, the exporting went well but the bad news was, it couldn't fit into a cd and thus, problems arise... The AVI format was alright and all but when it came into exporting into MPEG format, any unlucky ideas you could come up with, appeared... Let me give you one, audio came out wrong... Well, after much determination and perseverance, it was burnt into DVD and everything came out fine...

I'm just going skip Tuesday as it was only viewing of our MTVs for both Q and R class... Kind of funny and cute looking at the other MTVs... Good work by the way to all...

Wednesday was the longest day my group members, for M8, and I ever endured... We didn't go to school for that day but instead, we went to do our M8 short film project... Rome, Randy and I met up at Tampines MRT station at 8am.. We set off to shoot our first scene at Potong Pasir... Simon was very early... He waited for us at Potong Pasir MRT station at 7am till 9am... Sorry to have kept you waiting... Anyways, we took lots of takes for that scene... At 10am, we set off to Peninsular... Now, you must be wondering why we went to these places... Well, we were searching for the different studios to shoot... Now back to our different scenes... After we were done, we went on to our next destination, Tampines Studio... It was a mess when we were there... We realised that we were short of a soundman and thus, I had to be the producer/director/cameraman/soundman... We didn't even take the scenes that were supposed to be in the studio, only the outside of it was shot...

Next, we proceeded on to the best scene ever, the pub... It was well shot and the atmosphere was great... Sad to say, our actor couldn't make it and we had to make lots of phone calls but in the end, I had to act... Later, it was off to Simon's house and then, we were all tired and restless already... I tried to get them to at least act some parts of the scenes so that when we go for our second day of shoot, we'll know what camera angles we should use... At the end of the day, we were somehow dissatisfied with the shots and we ended late... What a day it was... Thank you Randy, Simon and Rome for being so patient and understanding... I really appreciate your hard work and as for Ricky, I really hope that you'll join us for our next shoot... I'll tell you the day 2 days in advance and so goes for the rest...

Thursday was one tiring day for my group members and I as we stayed up till 2am to rap things up before making our way back... So tired that I straight away after school, went back and took a quick bath and knock out on my bed...

Friday was one special day for all of us as it was my grandmother's birthday... I went to buy a present for her... Although it doesn't cost much, it's something that she can use and she's happy to get...

Saturday... I rested for today and play Final Fantasy X-2... Leveled my player up... Then went to my grandparents' place, with my mum, to buy some daily essentials... After that, went to have dinner with my dad and mum at some restaurant at TM, Vient Thai... Came home after that... My sis didn't join us as she went for bible study...

Well... gonna chill out on my Final Fantasy X-2 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.... NiTeZz to all my homies and fellow readers out there somewhere visiting my blogsite and reading about my daily activities... Thanks for visiting...

~~~~~What's This??~~~~~

It's been a long week... Busy is the exact word for this past week... Before I start off with my post, I want to share what I'm feeling right now... Tomorrow is another Sunday and I can't just help it noticing her every week... She just looks more and more mature and gorgeous... The sad thing is that, does she notice me?? How can I be noticed by her if I don't even make effort to go up and talk to her?? The only problem is that, she's always around with people and thus, not having chance to say a simple "hi"... Even so, who am I to her?? Her senior?? So what, she has many seniors way better than me?? Why am I feeling this low?? DAMN!! I just want to be friends with her but why is it so hard??

Alright I don't know what I was typing up there but if any of you know what the hell I was sharing about, keep it to yourselves... Shhh... Now let's begin with my past week... We've been working for our first ever MTV that ate up our whole week, plus shooting and editing... Our MTV was in the genre of Rock but it was an emotional song... We managed to get some extras to act as well... Thank you by the way to those who helped us during our shoot... Anyways, on Thursday and Friday, we managed to join another class to do our editing... Well, somebody had to stay back and do editing so, Ricky and I decided to take the initiative to handle the editing... Officially, the 3 of us, Watie, Lokman and I were the editors but since they were busy and I wasn't, might as well I do the editing... I couldn't possibly do alone so, Ricky decided to tag along... To Watie and Lokman, I understand that both of you want to do parts of the editing but not to worry, I understood which scenes both of you want in and want out... Now back to the editing stage... Ricky and I managed to finish everything yesterday and rendered it out as well... In my opinion, it can be done better but, we tried our best and we are satisfied with our final product... Thanks Ricky for staying back... Now, I really thank my whole crew in the creation of this MTV... Without all of you, it wouldn't turn out the way it should... THANK YOU!!

Let's get on with what went on today... Today was a special day for our church... It was a Food & Fun Fair occasion where we have lots of food, games and of course, worship... I went there with my mum and sis as they had to help out the take care one of their stalls... So since I was free, might as well I take a breather and help out and have fun as well... It was so fun and I really enjoyed being there and by the way, our stall sold lots of moon cakes, snacks and lots more... No regrets of wasting my time or whatsoever... I really made the right choice to tag along and this occasion really made me released my stress... Hallelujah!!

Well... gonna chill out on my Final Fantasy X-2 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.... NiTeZz to all my homies and fellow readers out there somewhere visiting my blogsite and reading about my daily activities... Thanks for visiting...

~~~~~HTD!!~~~~~

Before I start what went on today, I shall tell you all what went on for my past week and yesterday... Oh yes before I forget, to all the teachers out there and mine, HaPpY tEaChErS' dAy!!

So far, I find that it has been a chilly week and I won't be surprised there's more to come... Anyways, my week has been great so far... Our M8 supervisor finally accepted our script... YEAH!! He has given us the green light to go and shoot our short film but he still insists on seeing our shot list... So now, we're left with the shot list... To be exact, half of the shot list as we've touched up the first half of the scenes we're going to shoot...

I didn't go back to my secondary school yesterday as I wanted to have a run-through of our scenes but in the end, I had to attend some teachers' ceremony that my class advisor invited me to attend... I enjoyed watching the whole event until when they decided to do a performance taken from High School Musical... It wasn't that bad but, I feel that with more practise, they'll sound better honestly... Anyways, since I had to attend this event, my group members decided to head back home first and maybe later meet up... When the event was over, when I looked up to the skies, I see dark clouds... Fortunate for me, when I reached back home, then it started to pour down heavily... My surroundings were completely dark like it was the night sky... It was only 3pm then and it was already pitched black... I decided that it wasn't the day to do a run-through shoot so, I told my group members to meet up on Sunday since they're not going to be free today and tomorrow...

Now, let me get started on what I did today... I went shopping with my grandma and little cousin at Econ Mini-Mart... We bought rice and other stuffs... After eating lunch at my grandparents' place, I headed to the gym... Since I decided to go to the gym, I asked Jeremy whether he was free to go... We exercised for about 2 hours... Later after that, I decided to chill out at Jeremy's house... What a day... I really missed the gym... I got so tied down with school projects and all that I don't even have time to go to the gym... Finally, I managed to make time...

Well... gonna chill out on my Final Fantasy X-2 for a while before hitting the sack.... so cya real soon alright.... bye folks........ so long and goodnight, so long and goodnight............
