Recap

Again... you thought you have seen the last of me for this year.. haha.. here i am again!! Just in mood for another post before the New Year... this time it's gonna be a recap of the things that has happened during my semester.. which are not blogged about...

There will be photos too!!! not much.. but there will be... woo-hoo!! consecutively 2 posts with photos.. my blogging mood has finally come back, i think... bonus bonus~

Ok.. where should i start?? Let me recall... -tracing back *beep beep-

I guess i shall start with the steamboat at Titus' house..


Then it's the broadcast journalism assignment... cover events~~~ cover events~~

First event.. walkathon (we had to wake up at 4 something for this)

Vitagen..( this was fun.. the shopping part... haha.. it was held at sunway pyramid.. what do you expect??)

Lion's drawing contest plus tzu chi's recycling exhibition (Yikes!!! my fat arm!!!! i'll never ever let it look like that ever ever again!!!!)

Easy Phamax (the biggest event covered... kinda lost though.. dont know what to do.. who to catch and what to shoot...)

huhu.. i suddenly have the urge to quit broadcast and maybe do some major on journalism.. since.. i think i'm more comfortable writing than running around holding a camera.. of course.. scriptwriting or screenplay is still the first choice.. but i havent found a university that offers it for masters.. so for the time being.. i guess i'll stick to journalism since i think my degree has certain relevance to it though.. hopefully...

Then.. it's the graduation photo taking...


What else?? Sze Ern's quality relationship campaign... never been participating a campaign so whole-heartly... ok.. it's the bear i want to win... and also.. sze ern is my friend since my days in Sungei Way!! how many years that is?? 14 years!!!!!! i have no excuse to not support her then..


And of course... i taken the korean language level 2 class.. this is way much much much harder than level one... struggled quite a bit..

luckily i have bear with me...

Oh ya.. i'm not done with broadcast journalism yet... we still have to shoot the whole news programme... hehe.. we stayed in uni until around 9pm... i think that's the longest time i have spent in uni...


Jessie Chang went to Bali... and bought us this...



Oh.. just to share... the biggest k-room i have been to... it could fit 30 people, i think... but there's only 3 of us... i wonder why did they give us such a big room for??

This is just half of it... imagine how big it is..

ok... end of post... i dont think there'll be anymore surprises already... let's welcome the new year... i better get my new year post ready...

another post for this month..

Hey Yo!! Just when you thought that i was going to end the year with just one post for this month... haha.. i'm here to surprise you... not only that i'm updating... it'll also be full of photos... hohoho... a merry christmas to you!!!

My blog has never been a picture oriented blog.. number one.. i'm not really interested in taking photos.. except for special occations.. that's exceptional... and especially those with my face in it... dont know why.. i just dont like seeing my face in photos... anyway... reason number two.. i'm lazy.. yes.. do you know that uploading and arranging those photos into a post takes like forever?? especially when you are not good at it... so to save time.. DONT upload.. reason number three.. it's not that i do not own a camera phone.. but my phone requires a cable in order to transfer the photos into my computer.. dont suggest me anything about bluetooth because my antiques at home dont have it.. so it's just my phone alone... and the best thing is.. i lost the cable!! so what for taking photos when i can just only view it in my phone?? hmmm...

ok... end of stuff that is dragging me away from my actual topic here... oh.. just one more... i'm officially done with the GD exams of Y3S2!!! yippe yay!!! finally... after those torturous days... i'm finally over with it...

now.. i'll start my initial idea for this post.. yesterday was the last day of our exam (yes, this belongs to the topic...) after this, it's our sem break... so the 616 gang organised a pre-christmas outing plus celebration to ikano-curve-cineleisure...

First stop... lunch... at Manhattan Fish Market... plus of course... the early birthday celebration for our dear lecturer... Mr Luqman...


he's officially the granduncle of the lai gang..





then... it's present hunting time... i was actually planning to get the chip and dale plushies.. they are jsut so cute!!! but judging the space left on my bed... i think again and thought maybe i should get something else... so i change my option to a japanese DVD that i have always wanted.. Galileo File (or something like that.. i forgot the actual name).. who knows.. when i dont wanna buy it.. it keeps showing up luring me to bring it home.. when i sincerely want to... it is nowhere to be seen.. sigh~~ that's life.. you always don't get what you want... and there are always regrets.. i kinda miss chip and dale now.. ish...


Oh ya... gotta give credit to the K-mon gang... i have been spreading the K-mon Christmas tradition here... hehe... the exchanging gifts part... Wee... and i miss you guys!!!










My sandwich at Ikea cafe...


Group photos!!

"C" is not what i wanna get for exams...

I know i havent been on my regular updating mode.. i'm not sure why but at least.. i'm back up here to update on something...

it's the start of my exam tomorrow... first up is Creative Strategy for Advertising... good one.. by just looking at the name you'll know what is the main core element of this subject... "CREATIVITY".. you must be blind if you couldnt figure that out...

so i'm suppose to prepare a campaign for Extra chewing gum and some freaking anonymous-invented paper... tell me, why did i put myself in to this again??? well.. my campaign is typical for the chewing gum part.. and completely clueless about the damn paper... so screw it tomorrow...

then it's film appreciation, criticism and interpretation... another easy to find core element.... "CRITICAL".. ok fine... another thing which i could find any in me... when will you stop torturing me?? this is the subject that will leave you completely clueless.... like throwing a stone into the ocean.. you have no idea where is it going to end up... except maybe at the bottom of the sea.. on a sea bed or something... same goes here... my crappings will end up on mr. luqman's hand and will be at the mercy of his red pen... that's all i know for sure...

last but not least... broadcast journalism.. this subject wasnt so bad... but judging on my skills to write a good lead for the news script for TV and radio... i'm not so safe after all... but that's next week's thing... so i'll put that away temporarily... talk about it later...

i guess... my blog posts this year is far lesser than my posts for last year... i really wonder what kept me off my blog?? i still blame it on my aging process... wuahaha

to avoid making myself even more guilty for staying online so long and not start drafting my campaign for tomorrow... i'll be signing off here...

beep beep...

Just talking

Yo.. i know i have not been around my blog for a very long time.. i'm back up here to clear away some dusts and spider webs hanging around here... i havent been blogging and i really dont have much to blog about currently... well.. some of my news report stuff are kinda interesting but i dont have time to share them up here... i havent got the photos anyway... those copied from facebook are not from the best quality.. anyway.. it's just excuses...

my short semester is coming to an end... just a blink of an eye yo... sigh~~ this has not been an overwhelming semester.. thing have not been going on smoothly.. or they'll either be ok on the surface, hiding a whole lot of challenges and problems underneath the very nicely coated top layer...

the subjects we have for this semester is seriously heavy... gosh.. 3 equally heavy subjects cram together in a short 7 weeks... imagine a ton on your shoulder... get the picture?? ok, so now multiply by 3... guess how it feels... you are squished onto the ground...

csa is just a disaster... ideas were given, presented approved but they dont go together... a campaign will need to have at least 3 ads in a media... so we have 3 ads plus an ambient which makes 4... and all the tutor did was to approve all of them.. BUT, the magic word pops out... "NOT CONSISTENT"... what the??!! i think we already have 5 different but incomplete campaigns already... everytime the tutor approves a few.. we'll have to think of others to match those that were approved... but we couldnt think of any.. so we change the idea.. then there he goes.. the same thing about the "CONSISTENCY"... why??!!! we have an average of 2 ads per campaign.. which makes them all incomplete... what a disaster!!!

then here comes broadcast journalism.. the assignment itself is kinda fun... covering events and news.. but when it comes to writing news stories... the nightmare arrives again... my articles are too "report" style.. similar like those "laporan" essay you do when you are in high school.. sigh~~~ and it's hard to change... i gave up writing and focus on my online news instead.. shooting went ok... just ok.. coz there were problems in the way and the fun part somehow balanced it up...

film appreciation, criticism and interpretation... sigh... sigh.. double huge big sigh~~ i'm no critic.. i hardly critic stuff... i dont see thinks critically.. i'm a very surface person... i go by the literal meanings... if you will have to ask me what is the meaning behind something... wooh... what the hell are you talking about??? besides.. i'm not observant enough... my eyes are slow... what to do?? i'll be staring at the movie for my assignment without blinking to interprete the shots... poor eyes....


i know it's kinda late to rant.. but i just couldnt help it... why must the government allow the ptptn loan to be converted to scholarship if the student is a first class honours?? why must this have to happen?!! i remember there was such thing a few years ago.. and i dont know why it was abolished dont know when... but all i know is when it's my year to apply.. there was no such thing.. ok fine.. so it'll just have to happen right i before i graduate.. what luck i have..

i am not a lucky person.. i know that.. i never have the luck for things, lucky draws and stuff.. i'm ok with that.. but this is too much... how can i be so unlucky??

i need luck.. i need creativity... i need money... i need more time... i need i whole load of things... where can i find them????

worn out...

wah~~~ just a sudden urge to ride my bicycle.. so i decided to take my dust-coated "mountain bike" out for a ride... also, i need to post a letter to oolong tea.. so i might as well go to the post box near my house and drop my letter...

so i move out my bicycle... the tyres werent full of air so i took out the foot pump... but somehow dont know why the tyre is still kinda "flat"... after a few rounds of trying i gave up and took the other pump which requires the car engine as a power source... i think the problem is with the foot pump and not the bicycle tyre... after all my tyres are full of air... i hop on and off i go to post my letter..

in the beginning of the journey is still ok... until i met a slope towards the post box.. not 1 but 2 slopes... huhu... after i dont know how many years of leaving behind my riding skills.. it certainly is kinda scary being unable to control the speed of the bicycle.. it's funny that i didnt notice the slope before... coz i used to drive thru that road... so slope or no slope didnt really make any difference to me...

ok.. letter into the postbox... now here comes the nightmare... going down the slope is scary... imagine going up... it's freaking EXHAUSTING!!!!! gosh... 2 slopes man!!! this is no joke.. after i reach the end of the slope i felt that my legs arent mine anymore.. however there's still quite a distance from my house.. but luckily the road is flat... *puff puff~~

after i reach home... my arms and legs dont feel like mine anymore... dont know why my arms feel like that too... weird~~ do they share the same nerve system???

i know i have not been exercising AT ALL... i guess... this is a sign of me getting worn out...


hands and legs are falling off...

back to uni

Hello everybody... after tomorrow it'll be a week of uni already... being back in school after around 5 months being on holidays and internship, i'm not used to all those schooling life all of a sudden... those early mornings... lectures and tutorials... piling assignments... never ending discussions... sigh... but it's my last year already... so i guess.. i'll just have to bear with it for another 7 months... then off to my graduation trip!! wooo~~~


I have been checking.. my posts for this year have been gradually decreasing... wonder why.. too busy or too lazy?? or maybe i just have nothing to write about..


Uni have been ok these few days.. as usual.. I will not feel the pressure of assignments until the middle of the semester.. currently, it's still the beginning and introduction stuff... so i guess i should be getting used to the stuff about uni and get my engine started and get going.. i have a creative brief to submit next week and nothing is done yet... i wonder will i be able to get it done by tomorrow...

ok.. i'm going off now..
sigining off~~~






p/s: are my post getting shorter and shorter... hmmmm....

SC

Sigh... uni is starting next week.. back to the early mornings and limited parking space.. then the dont-know-what-to-eat-for-lunch issues... the rushing on assignment 2 days before the deadline... cramming notes (actually wanting to just burn or melt and swallow them) half an hour before an exam... and many other issues... well, that's uni life... cherish while i still have it, as a lot of people say... i will...


times flies so fast... as i keep delaying stuff that i planned to do during my break..
D.I.Y birthday card (70% done... almost)
a video (for whom-it-may-concern)
Story (TFKC, reaching the climax.. almost done,i think..)


these few days i again found something i have not been doing for a very long time.. i have been picking up a lot of things that has been forgotten during this year... this time, it's kimo clubs and SC!!!





SC stands for Sam Club... 王少偉（王紹偉）俱樂部... i was once an active member here but when he started shifting off from show biz to his Uncle Sam's bakery cafe and hardly appeared on TV, i started to shift.. not that i dont like him anymore.. just a shift of interest.. however, artiste or businessman.. i'll still be supporting him.. hehe...

so these few days, i manage to sign back into his forum and start posting threads... just to go back and be an active member for a few days... kinda miss those days.. miss leeling, and valer..

sure hope to see him again in Malaysia... or maybe just have an Uncle Sam right here.. hehe... i wish though...

Happy Birthday to Panda's Space!!

Yooohooo!!! it's Panda's Space's birthday!!! 3 years old.. well.. i have been managing this blog for 3 years already.. how time flies...

i started Panda's Space during the beginning of my university years and now i'm reaching the end... sigh... it means i'm getting older... you just can't run off from the hints that tells you that you are getting older...

owh... i didnt mention... i went back to my ex-company to collect my claims... and meet up with my ex-colleagues.. how i miss them!!!! really... although it's just less than 1 month but i miss them already... i miss teresa and her sarcasm with coco who is so blur to understand her point and the point will end up fighting but each going different ends... until one side gives up talking... i miss nick and corine, the new interns who resembles so much of the old me when i first step into the company as an intern... very "semangat-ed" to do everything and keeps asking a lot of questions... at least i dont think i ask a lot of questions because everybody seems so busy back then... i dont think there's anytime to stop and think of answers or questions... anyway, the office is still the same old... nothing has change much from the pass few days with me hopping around in the office...

and before visiting my ex-colleagues... i went for a k-session with hui ping.. that marks my.. erm... 4th k-session of the month(september)... 1st was with my collegues.. ex-colleagues now... plus san and chris who were ex-employees of the company... then it's with half of 616, egg, lsf and jessie.... the 3rd is with my family.. momma, bro and sis.... and the 4th is with hui ping... well.. i'm really satisfied.. i wont complain about not going for k-sessions for the whole semester... hehe...


ok for now...

here i am...

Back from genting 2 days ago...

bought 2 pair of shoes....

dedi paid... hehehehe...

enjoyed the trip...

didn't know that dedi is so willing to go shopping with me and even pay!!!

hehe, so although i'm just with my dedi, i still did enjoy the trip...

the casino ain't as exciting as i thought it would be...

just a big room with table games... the typical round or hemisphere table with green velvet on top.. plus loads of slot machines... it's something like an arcade, just that it has an age limit and is strictly for grown ups...

i sure miss mami's cooking after eating in genting for 2 days... sigh~~ the only safe thing is to opt for fast food... but then most of them are free so i'm not complaining much... dedi just have the power to get free coupons for meals...

and then, i have a room all to myself!!!! wahahaha... i can sleep on 2 beds... stay in the bathroom for as long as i want(what for??)... keep the lights on during bedtime... watch tv and never have to worry that the volume may be to loud for other people in the room... hehehe...

i just realised that i did not take photos of my new shoes yet... anyway.. i may upload them here later... maybe later or tomorrow will do... if anybody's interested...

stay tune...

filling in

currently not really in the mood to blog... about my shooting post part 2... sorry but you'll have wait... coz i dont know why but i just dont have the mood to continue... anyway.. uploading photos need a lot of time and i need to rearrange... lazy~~

i'm posting here because there has been quite some time since i last blogged... filling up some words around so that it will not look dead..

bilibala bilibala... i'm still on my semester break... really dreading to go back to uni next month.. holidays are still quite up and kicking... anyway, i dont mind staying at home the whole day... besides... hari raya week has been kinda fun... shopping plus k-sessions... huhu...

just to summarise... after a round of searching for wardrobe reference for my ex-company　(sigh... past tense..) i just can't help looking at clothes other than those required by the company... however, those required by the company are also very tempting.... but the price some how pauses your temptations... too high to afford... my allowance ain't high... that's what i always say to myself when the urge to put the clothes on the counter and start pulling out my purse to pay is too strong to resist...

however, there are also some tempations... such as when you go out with friends and decided to try on some garments... they'll be convincing you to buy... buy... buy... hehehe... anyway, that's just an excuse to buy... of course, the price is affordable though...

therefore, i have spent almost half of my last allowance on clothes... wuuu... i guess the main reason you earn money is to spend... however, this is the time where i spent so much in such short period.. hehe... i'll earn those back when i graduate... there are still a lot more waiting for me... i took some photos.. well, they are actually for the company's wardrobe reference... but i pick those that i like... so i guess... i'll put them up later or in another blog where not so many people is reading.....

stay tune~~

Internship.. Byez~~

Well... it is official now... I'm done with my internship in XuanWorks... i'm certainly gonna miss this place... the best thing is the even had a farewell lunch for me and xiaochin as it was our last day.. hehehe... i heard there usually wont be farewell for interns but... oh well... we extended... so i guess we are not just "interns" anymore.. hehe... became part of the company...

well... my days in Xuanworks are certainly full of various emotions... ups and downs... but in the end... i can say that i really did enjoy my days there... although sometimes there are frustrations.. but then... i still did learn quite a lot... and i guess that's what internship is all about...
