end of march

it's the last day of march already.... time sure flies in the speed of light... it was like just last week when i post up the 1st of march post... and now its 31st already... it also marks the almost-end of my semester.. finals is near... oh gosh... i'm so getting a "C" for multimedia broadcasting.... just because i failed my mid term... the stoooopid mid term....


but overall... the whole month has been great for me... met new friends... done new things... reached a new age(yikes... that's not really good... getting old here...)... got a company for industrial training... went to jogoya for the first time... and a lot more of fun stuff...


i have been abandoning my fic on the other blog for almost a month already... i should be continuing with it before ideas start leaving me because they will get the wrong idea that i dont appreciate them when they are around... so its time to get on the documents and start pouring the ideas into the document...


oh gosh... i'm running out of ideas.... nothing else to write about...
so this will be a short post....

whoosh...

hate design

i hate design subjects!!!! i hate and hate and hate and hate design subject!!! i never choose to have advertising as my minor... its fixed... i'm forced to... whatever design subjects... no matter they are using illustrator, photoshop, dreamweaver, flash or after effects.... i just hate hate hate hate them!!!!
ironically i'm going to a television commercial production house for industrial training....



ok.. so the beta test was cancelled today... but still... after effects isnt getting any easier... the more things we wanna do... the more complex it gets... very good....




i'm currently... again... broke.... i just like to spend a lot after saving for a heck long time... pampered myself with bbq chicken last thursday while doing our IA report with the whole lot... the "LAI" gang.... when we reached bbq chicken... it was totally empty... then slowly... customers filled the place as it is lunch time.... then at around 3pm... i started to rain... CATS AND DOGS!!!! ok now... we are all trapped in bbq chicken.. we cant attend ashwinder's class.... the whole lot of us... 8 members of the "LAI" gang... all stuck in bbq chicken... until "lai yan" said his car is actually at jaya1 and drove th drivers of the "LAI" gang to get their cars... the jam outside utar is honestly... terrible... horrible... vegetable.... brrr... it took me like almost 15-20 mins to get from utar PC to jaya1.... aish...




back to today... CRM lecture was pathetic judging on the attendence... people are somehow getting fed-up of the lecturer's frequent-insults.... well... the problem is he just can't stand or tolerate with a teeny weeny bit of noise... in my opinion, bc students have been pretty quiet in his class already... if he could be like other lecturers who keep an eye close and just entertain those who wanna listen... there will not be so much problems... you cant just keep comparing with others.... every class is different... even when the whole class is interested... there will still be noise... arent you teachers were trained to compromise with the conditions in class and try to adapt different teaching styles to different bunch of students???? this should be a quality that no other occupations have besides tutors/teachers.... oh i forgot... our dear man couldnt even handle the microsoft word properly.... what else can i ask for????



i just washed my car... the best thing is... it rained right after i clear up the stuff... good tuhan... luckily my car is parked inside so it's free from raindrops... hopefully it'll last me for a few months... why does my car get dirty so easily????



i should be doing my crm assignment 2... but i prefer editing my screenplay and scriptwriting proposal... wahahaha.... "pilih kasih"-nye...

earth hour day!!

its 28th of march... earth hour day!!!


off the lights at 8.30pm sharp.... and get it back on at 9.30pm... sharp... its all about being punctual... wahahah... just kidding..

anyway... we past up our filler stuff today.... wahahaha... i think i had the very very very best shooting experiences this semester.... tv filler was fun and short film was great... who could have ask for more??? although i admit... i care a hel lot about my grades and marks... but still... i still have to thank those who are worth it... takkan la so stingy.... wahahaa...

kevin got his harry potter today!! haha... you are lucky... it came in this morning...

well... i know it is earth hour day... everything is supposed to be peaceful and blissful.... but i just have to express this...

some people just think they are so "educated" that they could just insult anybody that does not please them... so what if you are educated??? does that mean you could go round and say others are not educated when they dont follow your rules??? because of you people... the country is a mess... because when they follow your way... you say they don't have principles... when they dont... you complain.. what's the point???!!! doesnt your so-called "education" thought you to be tolerant and learn to be lead??? ok.. so you love to lead... so go on... lead the pack!!! you go your own way and nobody is happy or satisfied about that... then you complain again... you never compromise... what has your so-call "education" taught you anyway??? what is the use of going to havard, oxford, stamford, princeton, cambridge when you cant even be a better person??? ok.. so i'm not "that" educated"... i admit that... but at least i know who is worth to say "thank you", "please" or "sorry" to... i still have my brains to think... although they are not as big or as "filled" as yours.... damnit...

Long time no "sick"...

I was so "semangat-ed" to try and make vanila ice-cream yesterday.. due to the very very extremely hot weather on monday... i worked out the ingredients and even took out the mould for the ice-cream sticks....

who knows.... on monday night, my head was so heavy i slumped myself onto my bed and sleep til morning... the next day... its still heavy and grogy... ok now... how am i gonna make ice-cream like this... the most important thing is how am i gonna eat??? will anybody allow a feverish patient eat ice-cream??? even homemade ones...

ok then... so i gave up the idea... and delay it till next week... if i have the mood...

and then... i start working on my target audience analysis... open the "sial report" and start summarising the points... while doing this... my head might just as well burst out of frustration... its not the points that are creating problems... its the mind map box... i just cant resize it... i dont know why... i have done this kinda charts before... and as far as i remember... the boxes could be resized to the author's own preference... but it turns out that i'll have to adjust the whole chart in order to adjust the size... very good... fine... i'll just tolerate... since i dont have the energy to figure out the solution...

talking about being sick... it has been quite some time since i last had a fever... i already almost forgot the feeling of having fever... wahahaha... that is why... i tend to take things for granted... as i stayed healthy all these while... even during the hectic-exhausting short film shooting days... besides of feeling bloated after having a heavy meal after going thru a whole day of hunger... i did not even coughed... ya... so i was arrogant... and thinks that my body is like the "toughest of them all"... serve me right.... so now... its here to get me...

after being light-headed for the whole day... at least i still managed to finish my part for the media planning assignment... hehehe...
next up... international advertising report... woo-hoo... my SWOT and MPGEST!!!!
-due this friday

and my very favourite... proposal for screenplay and scriptwriting... i have been starting on this since last week and enjoying very bit of it.... even when the tutor/lecturer point out that i have to do a few more extra work... i did not even grumble or complain... instead... i happily accepted that and continue writing.... although i'm not finish with it yet... but i'm very confident that i'll be able to finish it before the deadline... wahahaha....

coming back up to blog does mean that i'm feeling better... no more head-doesnt-weigh-its-actual-weight... no more pain-in-the-bones.... and no more sudden feel of heat or cold...

signing off... ciaoz...


SWOT... MPGEST...

BIG PROBLEMS

we handed in our multimedia broadcasting sketchbook on last friday... and guess what... the tutor somehow "stormed" in today and say that there were a hell lot of problems in ALL our sketchbook.... woah!!! i was like "die lo... have to re-do..."

he even said that if he say what's wrong with our sketchbook in the beginning of the class.. he might get bad mood.... what the??!!! is it that serious??? my second thought was... what did we do wrong now??? i wrote the wrong thing for the contents and stuff??? aish... was so worried... until he called us group by group to tell us what's "wrong" with our sketchbook...



First things first.... we should use a clear transparent cover... because we cant find any clear transparent one... we opt for a near transparent cover with circles glittering when you turn them around... ok.... MISTAKE NUMBER 1...

MISTAKE NUMBER 2..... i forgot to remove the damn price tag from the damn black cover!!!! oh s**t la!!! he just have to use the red marker pen and circle the price tag.... and wrote "WHY IS THE PRICE TAG HERE???!!!" What the ****!!! wasted the whole piece of hardcover... 2 pieces actually.... he did the same for the back cover too.... WHAT THE ****!!! you think students now a lot of money is it???? although it's like rm0.80 per piece... but 2 makes rm1.60... and now i have to buy another two... which makes it rm3.20... eh hello.... i didnt buy the board for you to "conteng" ok???!!! if you wanna "conteng" just try the walls in utar... big big white white... nice nice... conteng all you want and see who cares..... now the whole board no use already... cant be used anyway... unless you would like to have it and "frame" up the "conteng-an" of my tutor.....


MISTAKE NUMBER 3.... our content did not start from the top part of the page... due to some unforeseen alignment problems... ah... this one also cannot... aish!!!! just some minor alignment problems.... what's the big deal??? at least its the same for every page... there's a consistency there... so what's the fuss????!! ish ish ish....


MISTAKE NUMBER 4..... in some of our title page... our titles werent "tepat-tepat" in the middle of the page... "oh... ini pun kena!!!" coz maybe i ter-press the spacebar too many times so its not right in the middle... but its still ok for me... aish.... big fuss!!!


MISTAKE NUMBER 5..... our storyboard page have extra boxes there.... so???!!! we drew the boxes first before filling it... how in the world are we suppose to know how many boxes we need??? so of course logically we draw extra.... just because we did not get rid of the extra boxes... you'll have to purposely circle them with red ink... so now we have to re-draw the whole thing.... what the ****!!!!


those are the BIG PROBLEMS about our sketchbook... aish... i thought the problems will be like... your content is wrong.... you left out something or you should color them or something.... so it turns out to be some minor-to-us-but-major-and-crucial-to-the-tutor problems....

so we'll have to retype.... reprint... rebind... repurchase the stuff that the tutor has "suka-suka conteng".... ish ish ish.... so much for saving due to finacial crisis.... with a tutor like this.... how to cut cost????!!!

at first wants us to use caligraphy pens to draw the sketches... ok fine la... i buy caligraphy pen(not cheap wei!!!! rm5 le!!!)... now waste all our papers... covers... hardcover boards... printer ink.... money for printing and binding.... time for redo-ing... can we claim from utar????


that is why i hate design subjects.... its always a waste of money... unnecessary expenditure... what the!!!!

Birthday Surprises!!

ok.. so it is my birthday and i'm 21 already... not much changes though....

thanks for all the wishes!!!! all my friends and family!!! even my relatives are wishing me thru facebook!!! wow!!! wonderful!!! i bet they'll never know its my birthday if facebook wasnt around... anyway... thanks!!!

its my birthday... i still have to go to school... went to school early morning... but i reached quite late.. due to the very-couldnt-understand-why-it-happened traffic jam... i reached at around 7.30... and yes.. it's my international advertising mid term today... am i ready for it??? NO WAY!! i only remembered it like about less than 12 hours ago... so what do you think has been drilled into my mind???

ok.. so i still have to sit for my mid term... why do i always have to sit for exams, do presentations and stuff during my birthday??? its usually like this... unless when the ex-sultan of selangor is still around... coz his birthday is on the second saturday of march which usually is my birthday too... so it'll be a public holiday.. wahahaha....

mid term??? still ok.. much much much better than the damn multimedia broadcasting which i somehow totally flunked the whole paper becaue i dont know how to answer a single question on my set... whilst i can answer almost all the questions on the other set... tuhan damn thing!!! this is so unfair!!!! anyway... the "best" thing about the IA mid term is it has questions about the videos that have been shown throughout our lectures... oh very good!!! i never really remember those videos... so somehow crapped a whole lot base on my imagination....


then it's time for our short film voice over recording... thanks to facebook again... the whole bc5 knew its my birthday... they sang me the birthday say in the broadcast lab... hehe... sweet.... thanks!! then they gave me a very very special present... wohoho... i'll reveal that later...

and guess what??? on my birthday... i got an OFFER LETTER!!!! wey-hey!!! its from XuanWorks.... an advertising company... better than nothing... since i have received not a single word from NTV7... Vision New Media... Red comm... even Astro.... maybe one sentence from ntv7 that i'll know my status after 2 weeks which is waaaay past the deadline.... so ok... XuanWorks i'll go...


maybe its just some birthday luck... even multimedia broadcasting lecture doesnt sound as frustrating as the past few lectures.. or maybe its just my mood....


i finally got the offer letter and i'm safe from being arranged to tuhan-knows-where by the university.... i think its mere birthday luck... thank god!!!


p/s: about the present from bc5 as i mention earlier.. there's something wrong with my camera... so i think i'll let you guys see it a little later then... so sorry...

lucky week... happy~~

last week was one of the happiest week of my life... not only i have a very enjoyable shooting experience... my high school buddies decided to treat me sushi as an early birthday celebration... wahahaha... so touching... sushi zanmai... yummy!!! photos??? later la... with huiping...


actually they wanted to buy me a present as well.. but... i know the japanese meal was kinda expensive already... so being a very "considerate" friend... i "refuse" to choose a present lo.. wahaha... i actually kinda like the bear and the mickey purse... waahahahaha... i'll buy it myself other day la.... but too bad the chicken is a little "cacat-ed" or else it'll be great... rachel can have a chicken to teman her... so cute... she likes hen... so dont get any chicks... get a hen!! time always flies when we have so much to talk about when we are together... although this time its only me, huiping, jiashan and rae... we still have a lot to talk about... never-ending topics... weewawaweewawa....


i really enjoyed the meal!!! thanks to huiping, jiashan and rae!!!! sushi rocks!!!! wahahaha...

when is the next time we are going out??? lets go pyramid again??? then i can buy the mickey purse and the bear bear... wahahaha.... anybody??? teman me.....


i just love gatherings.... especially with old buddies.... i love talking... talk non stop.... sharing our lifes and stuff....


ok... it's really my lucky week besides the frustrations of the internships and stuff... nobody replied me still... maybe because its a public holiday today and i resubmitted my applications on friday... so weekends plus public holidays... nobody will entertain me la!!!

so in the end... the lucky part still overcome the frustrated part... overall i'm happy....

great experience~~ missing it already

after a total of 6-7 days of hectic shooting... our short film production week has finally come to an end...

day1.... ktar (setapak) .... went back at 9pm...
day2.... Utar (PJ) ... went back at 7 something...
day3 & 4.... Rawang (Cymon's house with a very cute doggie name ah boy... missing it!!!) went back at 9 something on day3 and almost 12 something at day4...
day5.... PV10 (setapak)... went back at 6 something....
Day6... UTAR (setapak), tiff's house (selayang), some random playground at setapak ... went back at 3 something the next morning!!!!

this morning... i reached home at almost 4am... around 3.45am i think.... that's the first time i'm driving back myself so late or maybe it should be "early".... like what yan jan said... we gave a lot of our "first time" to this production....
after reaching home.... i straight away went into the bathroom... wash up... and on the bed i go... finally... i can sleep without the alarm clock ringing during wee hours...

woohoo~~~ that sums up our shooting schedule... it was great great fun!!! and i'm missing it already.... i miss the whole bc5.... anyway... we'll be meeting up again after all our assignments are done.... we'll be celebrating in Jogoya!!!! wooo-hooo!!!

this is certainly a great great experience!!!! i really enjoyed every part of it.... next up... i'll have to finalise the script... wahahaha....

i think the director is currently checking back the tapes.... to see whether are there any no-good takes that requires a "reshoot"... oh-no!!! i sure hope there won't be any... although i said i miss production week... but certainly.... these 2 days are for rushing off my assignments that are due next week.... so better have nothing in the way....


i'll be posting the photos of production once i get myhands on them..... then i'll be posting up day-by-day reports.... hehe... stay tune!!!!


oh-ya... about my internship.... NO REPLIES... ANSWERS... whatsoever... oh gosh!!! i'm so toast.... screwed... finished.... whatever... you name it.....
please just somebody.... just let me know something!!!!! i need answers by friday!!!!!!
pretty please......

greatly appreciated

Well... after like 5 days of shooting... i'm certainly drained out.... but when comes to an end... i'm gonna miss this experience.... although it is tiring and a lot of time and effort has been dumped in... but i really appreciated the whole team effort of my group members... the whole bc5(edaline, krystal, tiff, sus, teck woei, yan jan, jian wen, pei lyn, pei li, whye, new, eelin, evelyn, leiny, soke jing, fong zuan... did i miss anybody???) plus chenghui and jessie....

i was really happy joining a completely new team... excited as well... i have never worked with a whole group of people which i have never worked with and we hardly know each other!! but after discussions, presentations, plannings, shootings and not forgeting nonsense-ing.. we all mix around very well... they have never treated us as outsiders because we were not originally from their tutorial group... nor were we from ktar.... but they treated us as one of them... taught us whatever we asked... entertained us eventhough they were dead tired.... took great care of us.... listened to our opinions.... just too bad we didn't stayed overnight together on wednesday.... because us bc3-ians had classes on thrusday... 3 tutorials from 8am onwards.. they allowed us to leave the group... and rest for our classes while they stayed up all night shooting.... then they usually let us off early when we were shooting in setapak because we stayed far away from setapak... and never mind-ed us not doing anything during shooting except laughing my lungs out and end up being chased off and eliminated in the "laughing survivor" game.... always let us help around although some times it is not really necessary.... they tolerated with our time and tried their best to not make us skip too many classes.... really appreciated that....

although my job as a scriptwriter is only involved during pre and post production... but sometimes i feel bad for not being able to help out during production....

and to the bc5-ians.... we (chenghui, jessie, peitsan) are very very happy and honoured to be working with every single one of you!!!

go pro-production!!!!!

1st of march...

i just realised that i always have blog posts on the first day of march... so i guess this year will not be any different.... the first of march has just started... so what do i plan to do???

  1. plot my screenplay
  2. research on my communications research methods assignment
  3. see what i can do for the media planning assignment
  4. start developing ideas for international advertising
  5. get myself ready for shooting on monday...
  6. study for my multimedia broadcasting mid-term
  7. study again... for my international advertising mid-term....
  8. get the report + sketchbook stuff done for multimedia advertising...
  9. draw illustrations and sketches for multimedia broadcasting
  10. study for the crm mid-term...

well... that's not really what i have plan to complete today... but more likely... my to-do list for these few weeks.... i sure have a lot to do!!!!

procrastination..... please don't bother me in the meantime..... come back later... i really don't need your company, currently.... thank you so much!!!

i just can't stop mentioning about my internship thingy... i heard people have been getting replies and went for interviews... and i'm still here waiting.... that is why i "shoo-ed" mr. procrastinator away.... i did basically everything last minute... and now i'm complaining....

its just too bad lo....

sometimes i wonder... how comes things just doesnt go the way they should be... what is the matter actually???? how comes other can do it perfectly well while ijust somehow can't??? something's wrong somewhere.... maybe it's the ATTITUDE..... i should be learning from others... TOLERATING and COMPROMISE... not being all self-centred... being a jerk.... thinking all about MYSELF.... while leaving others to rot with their HIDDEN COMPLAINTS and CONSTANT DISSATISFACTION..... so don't just ask why others can while i cant... instead... try to LEARN from others and change my ATTITUDE.... that'll work big time!!!

yeah!!
