~~~~~Happy Birthday!!~~~~~

School has started... Actually, it makes no difference as for the past 3 weeks of my holidays; I went back to school to do post production... We finally submitted our short film for Canon Fest yesterday... To be honest, I didn't know that we had to do packaging for our mini DV tape... It was kind of cool once it was placed together with the tape... I rushed through the design on Thursday night and had a hard time getting the measurements out just right... Anyways, I'm just glad that we managed to finish it in time to submit for Canon Fest... So far in school, we are touching on a new topic which is, Flash... It's very different from Video Production completely...

As for today... If you happen to notice on the right hand side of my blog, today is my 18th Birthday... So what went on today was that, we had our lunch at my Grandparents' place... My mum bought a special lunch for all of us... It was a Swensen's treat from her and followed up by an ice-cream cake bought from Swensen's too... This year was my first time celebrating my actual birthday at my Grandparents' place... Anyways, I had a great time spending my 18th Birthday with them... Thank You!! After we ate our lunch and cake, I went out with my mum to buy presents for myself with the money given by my Grandparents'... I decided to buy myself a Fox cap that costs 45 bucks... Then I went Challenger to get myself an internal DVD/CD Rewriter... Just now, I had Canadian Pizza for dinner and another chocolate birthday cake... Well, what can I say about my 18th Birthday?? It ROCKS!! Thank You mum, dad, sis, grandma, grandpa, little cousins, aunt and uncle... Thank you all for making this a wonderful 18th Birthday for me... I would also like to thank all of you who wished me a Happy Birthday through msn, sms, tagboard and friendster testimonial...

For this time, I'm not going to end off saying the same old stuff... So once again, thank all of you for making me smile for the entire day... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*:)...

~~~~~The Departed~~~~~

I apologise to each and every one of my readers and viewers for not updating my blog for more than 2 weeks... I've been busy editing for our short film so that we would be in time to submit to Canon Fest... Finally, today Simon and I finished the editing... Although today Simon didn't go school to help out on the final editing stage, as he was sick, he was there with me for the past 2 weeks editing half of our short film... So Simon, this is for you... Thank You for staying back these past 2 weeks to help out on the editing... Things wouldn't have flowed so smoothly if you didn't help out on the editing... I couldn't have done all these alone so really, a big thank you... To my team, I also thank you all for being patient with me and understanding on what I was doing... If not for all of you, things wouldn't come out the way it should... Although it had some bad comments, don't loose hope... We've done our best and that's what counts... Most of all, we had lots of fun and experience...

So like I mentioned, I've been going to school to do the post production although it was our 3 weeks break... To me, the 3 weeks was more stressful and tiring than going to school... Anyways, at least we're done... For tomorrow, we're going back to school to export our final short film into tape and we'll send it to Canon Fest...

Since I was free in the evening and no more editing is to be done, I went out with Jeremy and Lester at around 6pm to watch "The Departed"... It was a 2-hour movie and the story line was interesting... The language they used was quite vulgar so kids, don't even think of watching this till your 18... The ending was confusing and weird as they finished it off with a rat... It has been a long time since I caught a movie with them...

Well... gonna chill out on my FFX-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... Please come again...... but for now, this is JoNaThAn... signing out*:)...
