assignments... presentations...

i actually have nothing to write about... my current life is majorly about.... assignments..... assignment..... presentations.... presentations.... assignments.... finals.... oh... it's too early for that...

today's beta test is a pure disaster... it just adds my hatred towards design subjects... hate hate hate.... its week 13 next week... which marks the due of our short film.... i have not finalise the script yet... gosh... and my production report... aish... what else do i have to worry??? hmm... the stoopeed programme id for multimedia broadcasting...
and my pilot script... which i have already started writing... so i will not worry about that first....

there's something wrong with my antivirus... it just will not update... it has been 2 months already.... aish... what i have to do now is uninstall the thing and reinstall it but i cant find the cd... so much for being organised....

another week with less than rm10 to spend.... but still i got thru... haha.. i'm now upgrading my "jimat" skills... so that i can carry on with the same thing when i'm out for internship... i really need to go light on the cash.... hopefully my allowance is high... but i really doubt that... i never ever experienced high allowance before... i've got like... rm1 per hour... rm20 per day... so we'll see how it goes...

i cant sign into pet society again... aish.. why is this happening to me all the time???? my internet connection is getting very cranky these few days... it is either damn slow... or the dns light will never stop blinking...


i should be starting on my communication research methods report... i have said that since i'm done presenting my proposal which is like 2 weeks ago already.... till now... nothing is done... but i still have to finalise the script for the short film... which hopefully could be done within a short time... then i should write my production report... which i am still starring at a blank document not knowing what words to fill.... and i am also supposed to do the outtro for the multimedia broadcasting assignment... but i hate it so much... i rather do other things first... eventhough the due date is later.... aish...

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!!!!

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!!!!

frustrated short semester...

i just dont know why but i really have a very negative feeling about short semesters... everything seems to go wrong for me during this time of study.... foundation went chaos.... i could accept that as a coincidence... but degree too???? i dont think so...

i know short sems are suppose to be a more relaxed time of study... but no... not for me... everything is squished up into 7 weeks instead of 14... assignments are in a rush... everything... is a hassle!! when there is doubt you'll have to wait till the next week for consultation.. because most of the lecturers are part time... even if they aren't, you only get to see them once or twice a week... which you will have to delay your work until the next week which is also a week closer to your deadline....

all my assignments gone haywire during this semester... nothing just seems to go right... not even a single thing.... dont mention public speaking because it didnt go as plan either... my impromptu was utter nonsense... as i dont have enough time to work out the points... my persuasive was worst as i was damn nervous of being late and the FIRST one... my demonstrative was a huge disaster!!! as our topic wasnt demonstrative enough and we were under the time limit.... these are the minor cases of the semester...

let's hear about the serious ones...

multimedia design and applications... why do they always have to have web page design subjects in short semesters??? why do they have to have it in our course anyway???? i so hate webpage design now... i think i would now rather work in a bank than to work with web page design... i change my mind about giving it a chance when i'm desperate... no chance given... eventhough i have to beg in the streets... no web page design!!! if you see me charging into the webpage design field in the future... i'm not the person you've known anymore... so dont greet me or anything... i might be suffering from amnesia due to a huge great big accident... i might not even remember you... so please bear with me...

my assignment was a total wreckage!! if my demonstrative speech was a disaster... this assignment is a whole "doomsday"!!! at first... ok the only part that went right... is i got to choose the title that i want... that's all... then everything starts to go wrong... i'm in charge of flash.. and i cant do anything right with it!!! ok the page by page thingy is ok... but when it comes to linking... i'm really near to killing myself... i thought of just failing the whole assignment... but i cant bring my group members down with me... the whole assignment is a total failure all because of me... and ever since... nothing has gone right with this assignment... even the posting doesnt work for me... fine... i'm so thru with webpage..

Summary~~

time to sum up stuff that had happened these few days....



starting with thursday.... momma treat us for k-session again!!! yeah!!! before we left... i cant believe who i saw in my opposite neighbour's house.... she looks a lot like pn liew(my chemistry teacher, who was kind enough to help me pass my chemistry exam by giving me one more mark....) and boy, she dresses like pn liew too.... while i was opening the gate... i couldnt help looking at her coz she wasnt facing me and i cant really see her face.... until my neighbour greeted us then only she caught a glimpse at me... and she still remembers me!!! heee.... unfortunately... i'm so thru with chemistry that my current course has nothing at all to do with chemistry.... but i did told her that hui ping is doing chemistry... wahahaha... she must be very proud of you hui ping!!! weee...

k-session went on as usual... just that we were too early... so we hung around and wait for them to get ready.... until around 2... we were kinda expecting the bill coz they will usually pop out before the session ends.... due to the fear of you leaving without paying... but there were no sign of bills to be seen... and my parking ticket was until 2.15 only.... if they are not coming in that means we can continue and i will have to pay for another hour for the parking ticket in case summons are going round... rm0.50 parking ticket to rm40 of summons... which is more worth it??? you do the math...

anyway... i was suppose to drop by at joanne's place to grab my external with our webpage in it... since i will not have time to do it on friday because i have a small exam for my korean class and i have to flip through... although i didint.... heee...

but since k-session ends at 3 and joanne was going out by that time... we'll just put the thing on hold till friday then.... see what i can do....





friday... have to woke up early.... because we were suppose to meet at joanne's house at 7am to rehearse our demonstrative speech.... weeewaaa.... *censored* until around 1.30 i head home for lunch.... didnt really start on the webpage.... instead complete the slides for presentation.... flip through my korean stuff... went thru the grammar and off i go for class... the quiz wasnt easy but it wasnt hard as well... just because i didnt study the vocabularies and pronunciation.... anyway... there will be a replacement on saturday... 3-5pm... wa.... my whole saturday... gone!!!



saturday.... which is not really my day.... because of.... ****censored**** anyway... my presentation did not go well... in fact.... nevermind.... others did a great job though... we even had lemon marble cupcakes and lemonade.... heee...
then its md&a tutorial.. i couldnt get the file to open because the file was saved in a different version... but anyway... the tutor gave me several tips on completing the website... so thanks... and she saw us playing pet society on facebook... ask us to send her the link... hehehe... and then after almost everyone left... me and eggy offered to help her mark our mid term paper... wahahaha.... then eggy accompanied me until around 2 because my class starts at 3 and i'm alone... but i went to pb at around 2.15.... hung around and bought ice-cream from news junction... i didnt notice that news junction was actually just opposite of pb.... it's always so far from pc i keep thinking that it was miles away... i almost missed it...
eggy's car kena broke in and her whole bag was taken.....
i heard marc had an accident too...
i guess saturday wasnt only MY unlucky day.... bc3's too....
sheesh...

spreading lazy-ness~~

frankly speaking... i have been very very lazy during the past few weeks... and that's actually normal... if i suddenly have all the "semangat" coming from nowhere which makes me hardworking then something might be very very wrong with me... go seek help from a counsellor or some psychology major which i can easily grab a handsful from my campus....



well... i have not been completing my assignments lately... maybe its because when i suddenly have the very "up-lifted" spirit to do the flash for my multimedia design and applications assignment... everything seems to go everywhere else but the right direction.... feeling hopeless i ditch the work off and started playing pet society.... i'm kinda hooked up on these playfish games lately... or maybe ever since i've joined facebook... "who has the biggest brain"... "word challenge"... "bowling buddies"... "pet society"... and the latest "geo challenge"... all playfish's games are colourful and cute.... i'm currently addicted to pet society... always wanting to earn more money to shop for clothes... furniture... food... and many other stuff... maybe its just because i'm too stingy to spend real money... so i get the same pleasure to spend "imaginary" money in pet society.... wahahaha....



i know my persuaive speech is on this saturday... and i also know that i'm required to hand in my outline on that day too... besides i have to redo the flash thingy... which is really kinda frustrating... i wonder how those people create websites with a dozen of flash applications???



anyway... after a few rounds of web page designing subjects since my foundation days until now... i have a very strong feeling that i'll never be venturing into the webpage designing field although i can earn alot.... unless... of course... there's no certainty in life... i'm jobless for like 5 months and i have only 1 option... haha... no point fighting with money when you are desperate... wahahaha...

i now think that korean is very much harder than japanese.... how come people say its the other way round??? i still think japanese is easier to understand... although korean have a lot of similar pronunciation with chinese... so now i'm considering whether should i continue level 2 next year... but it's kinda wasted if i dont continue because thet knowledge is already there... and i really love learning languages... just to show how "multi-lingual" am i.... yep.. i'm a show-off... what can you do about it??? i might even be learning spanish later!!! gracias amigo!!!

i'm currently done with my speech script... so now for the outline... lazy-nye... and yep... group demonstrative speech has a topic now!!! yeah!!! we are fast and efficient... once suggest... the decision is made... no further hassle... wahahahaha....

public speaking presentations

should i be sharing about my impromtu speech presentation today???

maybe i should... i'll delay last wednesday's japanese cultural event thingy since it's already delayed for more than 1 week... so i guess... people are now used to the wait.... hee..

impromtu speech... the rules are like this.... who goes first of last will be decided by luck... which we had draw lots earlier before... i'm number 13... unlucky???
then when the time comes... the first person will pick his/her(in my class's case, is a Her) topic from a bunch of topics prepared by our tutor... then.... he/she have 2 minutes to prepare and after the 2 minutes is up... he/she will have to go up and present....

we'll just skip those before me... coz honestly... i dont really remember them... yah... my memory...

i was supposed to pick my topic when the person before me, which is when no.12(to protect his/her privacy, we'll call him/her 12....) 's speech reach around 2 and a half minutes.... well... frankly speaking... 2 minutes of preparation is never gonna be enough for me.... although everyone claimed that i have ample time to prepare but i am still not ready... 12 had a lot of pauses and was even give a chance to start again.... so that really gave me bonus time for preparation...

anyway... as i reach for my "lucky" topic... i actually caught a glimpse of 1 of the topics which was "death"... at first i thought... should i pick that one as i already saw it... but i cant think any points about death at the moment... so i just "try my luck" and see what my luck brings me... and guess what??? my topic is....


-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
ABORTION!!!

gosh!!! what the??!!! what kind of topic is this???!!!
anyway... i'll just stick to my luck... who knows what "brilliant"points may come to me when i'm preparing.... so i sat down half cursing my luck and the other half is cursing myself for not listening other previous presentations that involves abortion... i believe there was at least twice... this topic was presented in class for other subjects... and why didnt i listen???!!!! ok... i did listen... so why didnt i pay attention???!!! while cursing... i'm still busy scribbling down whatever that comes to my mind about abortion... as mentioned before... 12 paused for quite a while and even started over... so i had maybe more time that i was suppose to have...

however... when the tutor said that i'm up... i was like "i just sat down!!!" and i actually just finish writing the introduction and list down my 3 points... i was just thinking about the supporting details and my time is up!!!! gosh!!! why did i pick this topic???!!

ok... i went out... and just blab all my points and stuff that pops up in my brain... because i was just randomly picking out very random phrases from my mind, some sentences dont really link from start to end... but anyway... the trick is... to just blurt them out smoothly and assume its one sentence... people might be convinced that's its a sentence too... wahahaha....
just skip the details during my presentation....

after my presentation... i suddenly realise that the room was actually shivering cold... as i was shivering and shaking from the inside out.... ish!!!

i dont know how did i do... but the tutor's comments sounds ok... so i guess it should not be bad...

now next stop is to prepare my persuasive speech outline... i'm still struggling between 2 topics... both sounds boring.... but i still have to choose anyhow... ish!!!!

MV screening

yes... i have realised that i have been taking long breaks from blogging ever since my mv shooting week.... yup... i do know that... but that's not the only thing that is stealing off my blogging time... there are also... copywriting print ads, multimedia website and print ads AND ambient ad.... several random items that just plainly stole my blogging time... oh ya!!! and not forgetting.... my individual broadcasting ii assignment... although i'm not really involved in the editting part of the group assignment (MV) but i still have to do some shooting and editing of my own for my individual 4-shots documentary.... within 30 seconds!!! which is very very very short!!!!

it was our group assignment screening day today.... but as usual i went to school early to attend my last japanese 2 lecture... which mainly consist of video-watching and revising.... and i bought the text for japanese 3.... so now i'm really broke....


after class... pieggie and bear went to the mamak stall for lunch and i went off to tappers to meet cheng hui... when i was there... i though maybe i should test my assignment dvd to see if it opens or not... speaking about that... i stayed up till 1 something just to burn the damn videos into the dvd... i wasted 3 dvds just for that.... the first time was ok... since everything went successfully and it stated that the burning process in complete... but when i tested it.... much to my dismay..... THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE DISC!!!!! what the??!!! and i have been waiting for more than 1 hour for the thing to burn.... all down the drain la!!! ok fine... i'll do it again.... this time it went halfway and FAILED!!! apa la??!!! but i have to burn it into dvd-video format... so ok... i'll try again... and it's already 1am that time... so i left my computer on to let the thing continue burning while i took my so-called-short-nap and assuming that i will wake up in an hours time.... however... i woke up at 5 in the morning and again... it FAILED!!! why is this happening to me??!!!! so alright.. i'll give a last try and if this fails.. i'll have to find a way to explain to mr beh why my dvd is in avi format and cant be played thru the player.... so i gave the burning process a last chance.... while i get ready my stuff for uni... and lucky me.... it worked!!! finally!!!! phew....

so i went off to school... teman-ed cheng hui (actually it was me who needed company) for a while before going to the japanese class.... our territory (aka the discussion room) has been invaded by someone else this morning!!!!! ooohhh!!!! so instead we switch places and headed to the reading room...

ok back to the old story... i tested the dvd in cheng hui's ah cer but it cant open!!!! oh my tuhan!!! this cannot be... i tested it at home and it works and open fine... how come???!!!! feeling a little freaked out... i headed off the bear's house and tested it again using her laptop.... and thank tuhan... it worked ok... just like the way it worked when i tested it at home... double phew.... after cropping the cover for the disc i went to have a short nap in bear's room.... until i suddenly thought of something and woke up... didn't mohan said that we were suppose to hand in the disc before 1pm??!!! oh gosh!! it's already 1.10pm!!! we rushed off to get our stuff printed and rushed to pb to hand in the disc.... luckily i wasnt late.... "the importance of punctuality" (quoted, mr beh)


during the screening... each group will have to come to the front after their mv finish playing for a Q and A session witht he audience and not forgetting our lecturer mr beh and tutor ms foo.... all went off fine.... ours was towards the end because we were the 2nd last group for shooting.... and yup... mr beh and ms foo asked about the black and white background of our mv... ish!!!! didnt really see that coming.... i told them the reason why we used the black background once is because the singer stood out more in the white background.... maybe i should just blurt out the truth that the black background has several technical errors which was cause by our own carelessness.... however the part where the singer stood out more in the white background was the truth too!!! i'm not lying!!! just that i hid the major factor which i now regret for not saying it.... (luckily no lecturers are reading my blog...) anyway... i would like to stress the fact that i DID NOT LIE!! thank you very much....

after the whole screening session ended... cheng hui and i were walking back to our cars when the rain suddenly pour out of nowhere... it first started as a few big drops... then it turn into cats and dogs!!!! we were like running our way to our cars because there's no time to pull out the umbrella from our bag.... anyway.... i wasnt really wet... caught some drops....


and now... i'm officially free from whatsoever assignments... which also signify the end of the semester.... and aka.... "Finals are Coming!!!!!!" time sure flies.... subjects are getting harder and harder every semester.... so i'll just keep on pace... and try not to drop too hard....


here's my individual assignment.... it's a little lame... i'm aware of that... so please be prepared before watching.... and again.... 30 seconds is just TOO SHORT!!!!













after this... i'll be catching up with my sleep and at the same time cure my panda eyes....


p/s.... i'm so looking forward to my semester break plans.... heeee....

pre-presentation blues~~

wooo..... currently waiting for my comm theory presentation....... ish.... "gan jeong" la... dont know how it will go... anyway... points are all out.. i'm still thinking about whether or not should i make cue cards... but cue cards are kinda distracting wey..........

anyway... let's sum up yesterday's stuff... first.. we have comm theory lecture.. this is the very first time i actually pay full attention and listen to whatever that is being taught... yala... i do pay attention during the previous lectures.. but this time is 120%... because it concerns my presentation topic... and also... eggy and i went up to u-know and ask questions!!!!! wheeewooo!!!!

after lecture... it's mv production discussion time.... cheng hui has been complaining that our grou has discussed the storyboard like a gazillion times already!!!! from the time we know which mv proposal has been picked until their production week( they were the first to shoot - week7)... until their editing.. until they are done editing.... until now... it's already a few weeks later.... we are still discussing... hahaha.... kita orang manyak gigantic mia production weee!!!!!!!!!!

while discussing.... we got a last minute message that advertising copywriting lecture has been cancelled... aish.... it's a good time too... we can discuss about the mv and also our comm theory.... me and eggy were discussing about the comm theory conclusion... critism and suggestions.... and because of this... we now declare that both of us have very very very critical short-term-memory-loss..... and the weirdest thing is.... we can just forget the very same thing!!!!

anyway.... to report my current where abouts and situation.... i'm now in the discussion room using cheng hui's laptop to update my blog.... and now... chenghui, jessie and eggy is discussing about cars and stuff....

very distracting....
i wanna join the conversation....

done~~

finally... i'm done with the moral presentation... and i'm officially free from assignments in BM... good!!!!

presentation like always... especially when it comes to LAN subjects.... it's kinda boring.... and the worst thing is... our group was the 3rd group at first because we got question no.3..... but the lecturer suddenly wnat us to draw lots before the class... and i got group no.6!!!! the last group of the day... oh my god!!!! everybody is really desperate to go home by the time we are presenting... but who cares anyway.... as long as we presented and it has ended today.... that's the best part of the day!!!!

"listening" to the other groups' presentation are kinda torturing too... just the same as others when they listen to our presentation.... but some group's silde's design are kinda interesting with captions all around... so at least i get to pay attention to the slides just to read what is the caption saying.... because sometimes the words on the slides will block the captions....

"if living is without you, i cant live anymore... well i cant forget this evening, or your face as you were leaving. but i guess that's just the way the story goes. you always smile..."

this was what written on the slides as a design.... don't ask me what it means... because i seriously dont know....

tomorrow i'm supposed to stop by pieggie's place after japanese class to complete the call sheet and stuff... i feel so lazy now....

anyway... i have another 2 days 1 night activity at UM this saturday and sunday.... boy i almost forgot that.... luckily bear and pieggie reminded me.... i thought it is next week... how time flies man!!!!

presentations~~ exams...

Its my moral presentation tomorrow... now i'm still going thru the report... but it will be the last time now... wheeee.... because i'll have to hand in everything tomorrow and woohoo!!! get over it after presentation!!!! yippeee!!!! after the very torturous corrections and lack-of-info problem...



anyway... i'll be going to school early tomorrow... so that means no worries about getting a cost-free and summon-free parking space already!!! besides... the graphic design's students will also start working on their assignment... collaboration between broadcasting and graphic design.. haha.. they'll be designing our mv's cover.... i'm quite excited to see what they have done... because i'm not good at all in design and i'm always thrilled to see others' creative plus wonderful designs that will never appear in my mind.... ya... that is why... i'm not a design student!!!



wooh... today's broadcasting two mid term was a total disaster!!! worse than comm theory and multimedia tools for advertising!!!! the problem is... we dont have any question paper to refer to... our questions are all on screen through the power point slides... and if you think this is good because we are saving paper and the environment at the same time... think again!!!! we are doing multiple choice questions!!! the speed of answering for everbody is different so we are only allowed around 1 minute per question... we have one minute to read the question.... go through the choices available... and flip through books to refer the answer... ah yes.. i forgot to mention... it's an open-book test.... and no, it's not good at all... because within the 1 minute... you'll not have time to flip thru pages and search for the answers... unless you are 100% certain where the answer is... but if that's the case... you'll also have to be certain about the answer already... so no point refering after all....



but that's not all!!!! we also need to DRAW!!!! oh my tuhan!!!! and stick-man is not allowed!!!! oh gosh!!! that's the only thing i know how to draw that resembles a human being... and now i have to draw a human body!!!! what the!!!! i'm not sure whether mr.beh understands my drawing... because of the un-defined gender cases... i myself am not sure whether i'm drawing a man or a woman in those pictures... but it's mostly men... cuz i dont know how to draw long hair... pathetic la!!!!



i'm not finish yet!!!! i still have to write a shooting script!!! which i'm not really sure about the format... and i have to write it within 8 scenes!!! oh gosh!!!! i like panjang lebar punya story!!! this one is too compact!!! anyway... it's better than the last 2 sections anyway... despite the fact that i'm not sure of the format....



oh... forgot to mention again... for the multiple choice question... 1 mark will be deducted for every wrong answer... but if you leave it blank... then no marks will be given or deducted... so might as well leave it blank than to risk marks being deducted.... cuz i might just get one answer correct and end up getting a negative mark.... whoosh!!!! i never in my life ever receive negative marks for exams... so i guess this might just be the first time.... CHOY!!!!



anyway.... it's mentally and physically tiring after comepleting the whole exam... although it's just only around 1 and a half hour... whoosh!!!!

poetic~~

a form of pleasure which i crave
mommy will award me when i behave
a present as such
a piece will never be too much


on a gloomy day
when things just get in the way
just give me a piece
my mind will just be at ease


when i turn a year older
friends will have too much to bother
my birthday cake's best choice
just leave it nice and moist


it gives me warmth, it cheers me up
to get a piece, anything i'll give up
oh for god's sake
it's my lovely chocolate cake...


Chocolate Cake
P3 Panda (aka Pei Tsan)
16 june 2008


if you are wondering what's with the sudden poetic mood... well... it's just something i have to do during class... we are required to write a poem within 10 minutes... and if that sounds easy for you... hear this... it should be in 4 stanzas... means 16 lines... 16 lines of words within 10 minutes... how about that??? and we are just required to read it out in class... that's all... and the tutor conclude that we actually dont really think out of the box... because her title was chocolate cake... and everybody was really writing about chocolate cake.... nobody wrote anything else... so i guess we really cant escape from the box anyhow.... i tried my best to think out of the box..


but i'm just somehow trapped inside the box... so sad~~~
so there goes my chance of being a copywriter~~~~ all because i dont think out of the box...


oh yeah... the mv proposal thingy.... no surprises... our group's proposal was not chosen... we were not putting any hope anyway... hehe.. since our budget was like sky high due to petrol... so now we dont have to drive all ther way to selayang anymore... yippee!! so now we are required to merge with other groups... before the presentation... i got to know about bear's group's storyline.. i really liked it... it's so cute... but they already choose to go with stephanie and gang if either one of their proposals were not chosen...however.... both of their proposals was chosen.. cheers!! so it leaves us groupless... but i told bear and pieggie that i would like to join them if our proposal was not chosen and both of their proposals were chosen.... so now... here we are.... working....


i need you vs i need you....
anybody got the whole set of series... the royal tramp 2008???
if you do.... please tell me... i want!!!!

Weee...

Weee... yeee... haha... i found my pendrive!!!! thanks to my beloved classmates!!!! it turns out that there was a hole in my jeans pocket and i guess my pendrive might have slipped out thru the hole during one of my tutorial class.... wahahaha.... thanks ya!!!!

I have presented my proposal today.... basically nothing much... just a lot of laughter... i wonder does that happen to other group as well???? mr beh keeps laughing and laughing.... dont really know why... my mv's storyline is kinda tragic.... apa laugh laugh??? anyway.. i'm done with this thing... yeah!!!! now the exciting part... to see who's proposal get to be picked and being produce... i kinda got the feeling that ours is somehow halfway thru the longkang (aka drain) now... cuz our idea is SO NOT creative.... only dramatic.... sigh... anyway.. i think it should be fun shooting a music video... who cares who's idea i'm shooting.... as long as it's low-budget.... hehe... tahulah... orang miskin....

i woke up super early today... no.... not because i'm too nervous about my presentation... no way!! that'll never kacau my sleep.... because i need to send my dedi off to the airport... he should be at the airport at around 6... so i woke up and around 5.30AM!! and went out at around 5.50AM!!! after dropping him at the airport... i headed straight to school... since i'm joining the japanese 2 class on 8am... so might as well just go to school.... and guess what??? i reached school at 6.30AM!!!! gosh!!! that's usually the time i leave my house.... oish... nothing to do... well.. a few of my class mates came early too... to discuss about their presentation.... hee.. got teman... i stayed with them until 7.45.. then head to ph for japanese class...

after class... went back to pc... help bear and pieggie with their presentation.... then did some changes for my own proposal.... we lepak-ed until around 1pm... my presentation time is at 1.10pm....

done with proposals... what now??? oh ya!!! my ideas for multimedia tools for advertising.... 4 ideas to advertise yourself... aish... susahnya!!! especially for those who have no creativity in such.... aka me.... how to come out with those canggih canggih ideas???? how to get PHD??? Permanent Head Damage punya PHD ada la!!!! ish ish ish.... i cant even get 1 idea... how am i gonna get 4???!!!! help me!!! i cant do anything.... i'm not good in anything... except for crapping, maybe.... how???!!! i ni tada kelebihan la!!!! how???!!!

Oh my!!! i suddenly have an idea in mind!!!! wait... i'll have to sketch it out... s**T!!! la... i cant draw wey.... how now????

oh ya... not forgetting to mention... i removed my panda cursor.. although i still love it but people have been complaining about the cursor being hard to target on links and stuff... so i guess i better just remove it and let the normal cursor guide you....
p/s: those using firefox all these while... just ignore this... i know you cant see my panda cursor...

New feature for Bloggy

Got the bits and pieces of my proposal together already... i hope i can get it done today somehow... well... i guess i must have the whole thing done today.... since we are preparing the slides tomorrow....

i'm almost done here anyway... i'm doing doing the budget part and waiting for a certain "somebody" to send my the fully-typed storyline... apasal ni lambat???? well... our budget basically consists of transportation.... yes with the petrol price increased... you cant miss that... and that's about all... almost all of our props are "sponsored"... haha... but the petrol charge itself have already reached around rm300 already!!! wow!!! anyway... i dont see the point of preparing the budget... i know this is supposed to be a formal proposal where i should list everything down and this and that.... but if our budget is acceptable... do you mean we could claim from utar???? haaaaa... i guess not... i can even see our lecturer mouthing the word "in your dreams"...... if we would have asked such a question....

i've added another feature to my blog... i know.. i know... people are complaining that my blog takes time to load... and sometimes you'll only see the background color because i have added to many stuff in my blog.... but i like having a lots of stuff on my sidebar..... it gives me satisfaction at one point.... oh ya... about the new feature... its a blog list... now i can see who has updated their blog and who hasn't... so it saves me time and i dont have to click into others' blogs just to see the same old post that was posted ages ago.... only one thing... i just can insert certain blogs... specifically those who use blogskins.... dont know why and i'm kinda lazy to find out... so i'll just keep my old blog links column just in case.... so if you would like to check out this new feature i have added... please scroll down to the end of my sidebar... its the last item at the sidebar.... after the "extra elements added" column...

What the ****!!!

heyoo....
i'm back to battle against the spiderwebs around the corners of my blog...
oh gosh... i cant think of anything to write.... total blank-ness
ok... i'll just grumble about my unlucky-ness these few days...
let's start with yesterday.... all begins with cultural and religious studies.... the tutor wrote down all the assignment titles on the board... 7 of them... we(my assignment group members) were pondering around a certain "datuk gong" topic.... all of us were like... "what in the world in this "datuk gong" thing???"... "better not get that topic.."
we were all aiming to get the malay wedding procedure topic...
but!!!!!!!
when its time to draw lots.....
guess what????
look like this "datuk gong" guy really like us... as we got "datuk gong"... no further questions asked....
ok... this was still ok because i found an article about "datuk gong" and its quite informative as its complete with the references as well... so now we know what book to look for....
NEXT!!!
mass media and society.... another draw lots session about assignment topics.... there were 2 topics to choose (draw, to be accurate) from.... which is MUSIC genre.... and reality TV.... well... all 4 group members in my assignment group know nuts about music.... ya.. we do listen to music but we dont go into details about the genre and stuff... we just listen to what we like....
and guess what??? (you're right!!)
we've got MUSIC GENRE!!!!!!!
what the hell!!!!!!!
i know some of you love music.... and will be wondering why am i making such a big fuss for getting that topic because "music is nice ma..."
i agree music is nice... but the problem is.... i don't know any other thing about music besides the tadpoles on the 5 lined ladder.... how am i going to be able to differentiate the genres???!!! i dont even know how many genres are there to choose from..... help!!!!
just my luck as i'm the one who drawed both of the topics.... ish ish....
good luck charm... anyone????

Just to say hi...

Just to say hi to my dead blog....
sorry for not posting these few days....
going off to an event later.... organised by some hong kong students.....
what else is there to talk about?????
o ya...
i (more accurately: "we") have completed our broadcasting -radio channel- assignment...
at first it looked like.... nothing special.... just a purple booklet full of words..... then after a night of hard work by festiny.... owe you a lot, girl!!! it turn into the star assignment of the day!!!!
Man, you are a genius, festiny!!!! go girl!!!
i'll show you guys what it look like after i get hold of the photos of the assignment....
i'm a dead failure in arts.... everybody knows that... give me a paper and a pencil and ask me to draw.... i can stare at the paper for 2 years not knowing what to do with it.... maybe ending up by just writing one of my own stories instead.... i prefer words than drawing.... that's is why i volunteered to write the whole proposal and leave the design part to the rest of the group....
that's a great decision.... because there's no way i could come out with a design like that!!!! great one!!!
or you guys would like to see my last assignment????
mass comm magazine???
like it or not.....
i'll just post them up....
it was designed by joanne.... but i edited a little here and there.....



The cover page.... this was designed by yours truly.... as you can see.... nothing special about it... that's my art-creativeness standard....







The first page... all text are contribution of yours truly....


The second page of the assignment.... all text are still contribution of yours truly..... (there's the only thing i could contribute anyway....)




The back page.... nothing much to contribute.... its just copy and paste of some advertisement.... but i'm the one who added the address at the bottom....

End of my post...... sayonara!!!
