back to reality~~

wog wog... it's 10.15am....


i know i'm thinking too much that people will respond me right after they receive my application.... ya-la.... because when people are desperate... they tend to be very very totally very extremely and extraordinarily naive and sometimes stooopeed....

it's just like when you are trap in the dessert with no water.... you'll always think that water are just a few more footsteps away.... and water will just magically... un-logically appear out of thin air... and end up.... receiving the very harsh, hard-to-accept truth.... that it is just a MIRAGE!!!!

it's the same principle....

i should not be continuing my stupid hopes of getting any respond today... however i'll just pray hard for next week....


okok.. now i'm thinking.. should i try a few more other places??? or just stick to the 3 i'm aiming and just pray hard??? how am i gonna choose if i'm accepted into more than 1 place??? I really am thinking too much now....


i'll just drop this thing off for the weekend and just pray hard and hope that miracles will happen next week.... omitofo.... amen...



woah!!! 3 posts in 1 morning.... a record!!! on the last day of february... and i was saying that there'll not be more than 1 post a week during february.... wahahaha.... i guess i do love blogging after all....

signing off!!!! for real!!!

argh..... waiting is torturing....

It's currently 9.30.... zero replies... but the number in my inbox did increased!!! ya... 2 new mails....

wooooo -drumrolls-





facebook notifications!!!!!


waaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please don't do this to me... and yes... i confess that i secretly hope that those who applied the same place as me does not have a CGPA higher than me....
yes... i also hope that the person applying also does not have better qualifications than me...


eh-hello... this is the real world here!!! competition!!!! you'll have to fight for things!!! and when you can't fight with your hands... the least you could use is to fight with your qualifications.... but the only thing i'm losing out here is my employment history.... which is a HUGE... i mean HUGE factor when it comes to applying for a job, intern or whatever.... my employment history is a total joke if i were to insert them in... so i just eliminated the whole column....


so what now??? i'm still waiting... oh well.. i'm posting my 3rd application later... via snail mail... i really hope the snail will be able to arrive its destination in the least 3-4 days or i'm toast!!!! come on come on.. you can do it mr. snail!!!!!

I'll be checking my mail everytime when i got the chance... i'll on my phone 24/7.... pick up calls even during 3am....

come on now... where is my luck when i need it???!!!!

I NEED REPLIES!!!!!

Waiting desperately..... -the desperate student-

Oh Gosh!!! what am i doing???? i'm up already on a saturday morning... and for your information.. it's 7am!!!! waaaa!!!! the best thing is.... my class starts at 12pm....

why am i up so early??? no idea... maybe it's just something that has been bugging me for the whole week.... INTERNSHIP!!!!

woah!!! i have never been so "semangat-ed" until my sleeping hours are affected.... this must be something really important... ya... if it's so important... why am i like doing loads of stuff last minute... sent an application to a production house via email.... NOTE: 1 production house...

Yalah-tu.... ok... just sent another off... ok.. so now i have 2 applications sent... and ZERO replies.... argh!!!! this is really killing me!!!!

Ok.... I have not post my application to NTV7 yet... apasal???!!! because their email's inbox are constantly full!!! if i wanna send i should do it via post (aka snail mail)... with the name snail mail there... it's obvious that my application will reach there soon *tuhan-knows-when...

and i am required to submit my offer letter by like next week!!!!! i was actually planning to do 1 application at a time... but time doesnt allow me... (and which dumbo will actually believe that they will be accepted at once???) so ok... i sent 2 and 1 more will be post later today.... wah.... how come the deadline is so tight???!!! i thought this thing should be like given around 1-2 months of time to apply and stuff.... apasal??!!!!! this is UTAR.... planning is always.... better not talk about it.... in case somebody from UTAR is actually reading this (except the students, of course!!! they will most probably agree with me anyway...)

hoo-laaa.... why no reply yet????!!! people don't go to work that early ke???? but it's a saturday.... half day.... so that means there should be people working de-ma.... even if you don't want me just at least give me a reply with a big fat "NO".. of course... that's not encouraged... just that waiting for something is really torturing... especially when you are really really desperate!!!!

it's 8.30am.... should start working liao gua???? no replies yet.... the number of my inbox has not moved ever since....

still waiting~~~~

internship!!!

First and Foremost!!! i would like to wish "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to keekee... although we never met each other before... but we share many same interests... and we have been managing a facebook group together... wahaha... although i have not really do anything yet... except leaving a few comments...

currently scratching my head over my resume... my life is so empty.... nothing much to fill in.... my employment histories are not very nice to be seen so i rather leave those blank... and what kinda of additional skills do i have????? don't feel like bragging because if they believe in it and ask you to demonstrate then i'm toast!! but in the resume... you are suppose to brag... to convince people to hire you.... sigh... dilemma....

Another thing is the application letter.... where should i apply to????? big big big question mark... i actually plan to apply vision new media... but a friend's advice tell me that i should not plunge myself into something so specific yet... as i am there to learn... why not go to a bigger company with broader fields so that i can get a hold of everything (or maybe just watch) and at the same time learn everything as well...

ooo-hooo... being a greedy person like me... i would really prefer to learn a lot of things than to just focus on one... but i love series.... what about harmonic studios??? but i have no idea where is this place.... sigh.... dilemma again..... to be safe... i should try applying ntv7 first as it is the closest to where i stay and i know how to get there....

so how????

Done for now... but not yet...

woo-ooo...

i finally finish the almost-full script for my short film assignment... sent it to my director and asst. directors already... they make the changes and then it's off to all the other bc5-ians and also jessie plus chenghui....

i'm really looking forward towards this assignment... one thing is because i'm working with people that i have never ever worked with before... excluding peili and eelin coz they were in my moral assignment group last year... anyway... i think i'm so far so good with them.. and i do hope that they feeel the same with me and my 2 fellow bc3-ians....

well.. i'm not done with my job yet.... i still have to write the background plus narration of the story and also the summary... but i'll leave that for later... since i already have the script as a guideline for my summary and stuff... the script is really the backbone of the production.... without the script... they can't carry on with the storyboard... camera angles, lighting angles (lucky, my director told them to imagine them first...in case i couldn't finish the script in time...).. shooting script... location, shooting schedule... call sheet.... etc etc.... so after the discussion on thursday... i straight away started on it... but our assistant director... who is also came out with the main idea for the film said that it somehow did not match her feel... oh-oh... now how??? after a few times of corrections and edits... i finally somehow understand the "feel" she wants... but i still find it difficult to put it in words...

anyway... i finished the script in time... and hopefully it goes ok.... we'll have to get everything done by wednesday because we are required to present the proposal on thursday.... but since we delayed our discussion quite a lot of times... some things will have to rush... we only have less than a week to get things done... we stayed back till 8pm on thursday to discuss the plot and stuff...

working with people who are not from my class pulls me out from my comfort zone as these people don't know you that well and you'll have to show them what you're capable of... where as being in a group with people that has been in the same class with you for 2 years makes things simple and they'll totally know the way you work and everything is already well-adapted...

however... this is a nice challenge for me.. to try out something new and not always trap myself in my comfortable box...

cheers!!!!

030209... tv filler shooting

i know this is kinda late... but i think i should post something more interesting on my blog instead of quizzes and dull moans of my boring life....


last last tuesday.... 3rd of february.... our assignment group for tv filler.... me, cheng hui, kevin, jessie, joanne, egg, marc and titus went off to melaka to shoot our tv filler... with a great big help from my auntie(duah koh), of course.... weee...

that morning... kevin at first extimated that he'll be reaching subang at around 6.15am... who knows he sudah sampai at 6am!!!! gosh!!!!!

and we meet cheng hui and gang at the seremban R&R at around 7am....


our tidbits... left-overs from yesterday's heaven god prayers ceremony... from egg.... was full.. so didnt really tried even a piece... but they after that gone to waste due to the humid environment in the car... sigh....




the gang plus titus who was holding the camera at that moment... at seremban's R&R.... wee... off to melaka we go!!!!

after reaching melaka it was very early... around 8 something... so we decided to have our breakfast before going off for shooting... where should we go??? shops are normally not open this early.... and its still CNY period.... woooo.... where else but.....

MCD!!! i'm loving it.... paparapapa...

what's wrong with the hash brown, kevin??? apasal frowning??? you see.. cheng hui loves her hash brown.... don't merajuk la...

this is what happen when 2 cars are parked too close to each other....

cameraman, conty girl plus lighting mui...

camera girl, conty girl and mr editor... woah.. big brother... godfather...


infinite enigma in action!!!!

my lighting girl and boi boi.... wahahaha... too bad no lighting was used on that day... so my lighting girl became the runner... running here and there... and my lighting boi boi became....


a guest star!!!! woohoo....


not easy tau... he have to kneel there for titus-knows-how-long and shake the "chim tong"... until hands lenguh....

then eventually... the sun starts welcoming us to melaka... risen up with a really bright smile on ITS face....
egg(conty girl) holding the reflector to block the sun... the reflector has finally served its purpose...

producer and editor holding umbrellas for the crew... it seems like miss producer is enjoying her task... she loves her umbrella-holder job...

we finish our shooting at around 12 something to 1pm... i'm not sure of the time... and off to lunch we go....

UN happening...

You Are FAQ

For you, the internet is like your personal library. And you know more facts than fifty normal humans. Your brain is basically lot a computer at this point. You have a lot of information stored up there. You spend hours looking up obscure information and learning things. If you have question, you always Google it. You can't help but be a bit of a know-it-all. You can answer everyone's frequently asked questions.

What Internet Slang Are You?

Currently, life has been pretty "un-happening"... it's so "un-happening" that i have nothing to write on my blog.... my february posts total is just 2 for the past 2 weeks... boy... that's so not like what i have planned... anyway... i'm back up here to update about my life...


last tuesday... our assignment group of 8 went off to melaka to shoot our tv filler.... i know i have mentioned this before... this certainly shows how boring my life is.... it was hot in melaka during our shooting... but it was still ok for me... i have been through hotter days.. when the temperature can straight away cook you up.... shooting went off quite smoothly... we did enjoyed ourselves there... and everything was done on time... we left melaka after lunch and dessert at around 2 or 3 something....


then here comes the torture... editing!!!! i'm not really good at editing... actually i CAN'T edit.... i don't have the skills and creativity to add effects and stuff... usually it will be all plain and dull... which explains the video i made for whom-it-may-concern.... but lucky thing is... i'm not the editor!!! wahahahaha.... after a whole week of rearranging videos.... cut and paste.... arranging the sound to the video... recording the narration.... recording the narration again... and again.... because dont know why it cant open the first time... well.. it can be open but there's no sound... so what's the use of a sound file without the sound???? record again!!!! and finally.... our filler is almost done.. what is left is the subtitles and my editor will get it done tomorrow... wee-hee!!!


next shooting assignment will be our short film.... well... the discussion will be on next week... so nothing has been done currently... just that i have to think of a storyline to contribute to the discussion... if you think that creating a storyline out of the blue is easy.... think AGAIN!!!! we do not only have to let our imagination run wild... besides that, we'll have to think practical... like are the props easily available and accessible??? does the location exists??? do we have the budget??? can the talents deliver??? etc etc.... so we'll have to think realistic-ly... so that means don't let your imaginations run too wild or it will be hard to catch....


maybe i could refer to any previous works.... but of course... look out for the popular ones... because you'll be known as a copycat if your idea to too similar.... look for the least popular stuff... then the smaller the possiblity of you being called as a copycat... mind you... some not-so-popular production have great storyline!!!! but... i still can't think of anything.... how???

CNY is ending...

Your Energy Level is High

You are a very enthusiastic, productive person. You have no trouble getting anything done. Beyond having a lot of energy, it's likely that your energy level tends to be quite steady. Unlike people with very high energy, you don't tend to be impulsive. By keeping your energy in check, you are able to use it as productively as possible.

What's Your Energy Level?

just in a flash of time.... what kind of description is this??? anyway... CNY is ending soon.... tomorrow is already the last day of CNY... this year... everything was pretty cool and calm... maybe its because of the financial crisis so a lot of activities are more or less cut down... i had quite a nice new year this year... i celebrated with my uncle and cousin from england... they were nice... my brother especially enjoyed their presence.... because my uncle bought an england jersey for him... but it was kinda small... so he's now wearing it while i'm here waiting until he's too big for it then it can be "passed down" to me... haha... it's changing now... no longer the elder's worn out clothes pass down to the younger... it's the other way round now...





our primary classmates annual gathering yesterday was great... teacher's new home is nice!!! she have the clothes-changing room and a jacuzzi!!!!!! it's great getting together after so many years of graduating from primary school... evrybody is changing.... so much that you sometimes can't really recognise them... heeeheee...





assignments are piling up already... it happens always during week 4 and onwards of the semester... getting busier and busier.....

New year... CNY!!

You Were a Cougar

You are a great leader who has dominance without ego. You are wickedly cunning and off the scale confident.

What Animal Were You In a Past Life?

i thought i would be a panda... but a cougar is still ok just that its a little scary.. i'm "wickedly cunning"... so be careful!!!
