Me, myself as a student (part2)

I know it has been a long time.. my excuses are still the same.. busy and lazy... oh.. and no mood.. well, you need to have to mood to do things... that is why i am not sleeping now (it's 1.00am, fyi) and sitting in front of my desktop typing myself out...

Where did i stop?? ah, yes... I believe i ended at the end of my secondary years.. which turns into a new phase of study.. a totally different environment, known as the university.. I started my university life with foundation.. An exciting start to begin with... as it is completely different from my previous schooling days.. A fun year to start my university life.. although I did not really get to enjoy a campus life but at least then friends part did help replace that... life was happening back then when there were times we race off to the nearest shopping mall for lunch during our 3 hour break.. and even had k-session during our 4 hour break... don't ask me about the long breaks.. i really dont know why were they so long... anyway.. it's a really exciting experience for somebody who just reached 18..

Then, after my foundation years came to an end... my degree years starts... into a course that i was really looking forward to.. i started ok, my exam results, i mean... and then it went down every time... well, that's not something nice to mark my degree life.. so let's just let it go with this brief introduction... moving to another topic.. it's a bunch of nice coursemates that actually adds in the spices of my degree years.. it was not always happy, carefree, lovey-dovey... there were conflicts, arguments, disagreements and many other negative stuff... but in the end, i guess... we are still a class to hang together with.. besides these, the hanging out part and not forgetting the outings for assignments part are really memorable... during the time when we are free from classes, we'll be out at shopping malls, karaoke, steamboat-ing, traveling... etc... all of us have a gang we belong to.. 616... BFFs?? Nah!! it's just a childish way Paris Hilton use to categorize her friends.. She even have a reality show for it!! a reality show to be a BFF?? what the hell does BFF means to you anyway?? to me, a friend is a friend.. the level of "best-ness" differs but however so, their category as a friend will not change... so, we are friends and hopefully it will last forever... yeah!!
Our friendship could be seen through my previous posts of our outings... it's a bond that not a simple combination of alphabets can just represent.. it's kinda hard to put it in words if you ask me.. so just see for yourself (take a peek at my previous posts if you have time)

I'm almost done here.. I know its much much shorter than my previous one.. but my university life is more less recorded in my blog so i guess there is no point for me to repeat and summarise them here.. those who have been following my blog will know and those who have not, feel free to check them out if you have the time..


that's all folks!!

Me, myself as a student

It's me again... to invade my own blogsphere.. another sudden mood... so another random post... Here goes...

After next week, i could unofficially shed off my student identity card and start a whole new life... why "unofficially"?? the official date falls during the convocation, right?? the day i throw off my student id once and for all... well.. i have been a student for almost my whole life.. and i can't believe that there's one day i will have to say goodbye to it... Maybe because i'm used to ticking the box on the occupation category that states student... Now, i'll have to tick something else.. or maybe UNEMPLOYED!! if i don't manage to get a job secures after my finals... yikes!!

I started to put on school uniforms when i was 2... and that's when i start kindergarten.. in case you are wondering why did i start so early... i remember mentioning that my mom was the headmistress of a kindergarten when i was born till i was around 3 or 4 years old.. so i was basically born in a kindergarten.. when i was 2 my mom put me in my very own school uniform and "kicks" me off to class, where i start learning to read, write and count...
since i started at 2.. my kindergarten days was unusually looooong... there was a time when my cousin ask, why are you forever in the kindergarten stage?? What can i do?? i'm not at age yet to enter primary school.. so of course i'm in kindie... what a question to ask.. i should have answered that during that time... aish... As a kindie student, i was quite talkative.. often being punish for talking in class... hehe.. i was quite good at reading.. judging my process on the "Peter and Jane" series... i was usually ahead of others.. '.' v

after 4 years of kindergarten in 4 different kindergartens... hahaha... my record... i finally reach the age to step into primary school.. my first primary school was in Penang... where i spent 4 - 5 months there... then i moved back to Subang and went to Sungei Way.. it was a "transit" while waiting for Lick Hung to accept me... I was there for around 2 - 3 months.. i remember how i hate the prefects there... i dont know why.. they dont let you open your mouth or stand up for god's sake.. What The??!! At least those in Lick Hung were slightly better...
then i was transferred to Lick hung and settled there throughout my primary years... people always say the pressure in Lick hung is unbearable.. but it's really weird that i don't feel anything... The homeworks are ok, additional classes in the afternoon are kinda fun because our initial classroom is occupied by the afternoon session so we get to use the science lab or the "kemahiran hidup" lab... which is very different from typical classrooms... how boring could it be when you can look at saws, hammers and other tools or test tubes, thermometers and other apparatus in class... they are kinda interesting, if you ask me.. a shift from the text... hehehe...
I was quite a good student.. yes, i am... i did my homework although occationally forgetting some, but i always manage to finish it before handing in! I go to school by bus so it arrives super early that i'm usually the first to reach the class and on the lights when i was in the morning session.. so i have plenty of time to complete my "unfinish" business... even if i forgot to do my chinese caligraphy, i could easily find ink and brushes conveniently in one of my classmate's drawers... hehe... as long as i wash it and put it back... he's ok with it.. he's used to it anyway... he needs it too... then i'll have dictionaries in the drawer on another classmate which is a big help when it comes to those exercise that needs to description of words and stuff or even idioms.. that guy have all sorts of dictionaries under his table.. you name it, he got it.. huhu...
besides that, the best thing about our class is we have been in the same boat (class) for 6 years... so we are really united when it comes to conflicts.. we even help back each other up during punishments.. and some of us are still in contact... after 10 years.. (woah!! I'm old!!)
the bus rides are also the best moments, i always set my watch alarm to ring 5 minutes earlier than the school bell to remind me to pack up so that i can run to the bus and secure a seat when the bell rings.. as you know, boys and girls this age like to fight.. it's always a fight on who gets the most seats on the bus... but sometimes the boys will buy us, girls keropok lekor to enjoy during the ride home.. that's kinda nice of them.. but they still fight with you.. sigh~~ boys are already so complicated as such a young age...

anyway.. my primary school life are the happiest student days throughout my whole student life... Where is the pressure?? I did not really feel it.. so stop saying that Lick Hung is full of pressure.. It is not.. and, mind you... I've got 7As for my UPSR... so trust me.. no pressure...

Then, i moved on to secondary school just opposite where i stay.. it takes less than 5 minutes walk if there are no cars on the road separating my place and the school.. this a completely different life compared to my primary school, which i will do anything to get my primary school life back... it's not that i hate the school.. it's just.. i don't like it... don't know why... the people there are ok.. teachers are ok, some are very nice.. the students are fine, classmates get along quite well... i just don't know why.. maybe the lack of sense of belonging??
well... this is the time when i realised i have no interest in science an maths... although my marks have been quite high during primary school... i have suddenly lost interest in them when i reached form 1... weird.. i still don't know why... at least i was quite a decent student in school... i don't break rules.. unless you count bringing liquid paper to school... but do you know how many tubes of liquid paper i can buy with the price of one correction tape?? and how long can i use it?? do the math.. people can also "conteng" using correction tape la.. without liquid paper, there are still loads of things to use, like pens, for instance?? forbid us to bring pens then.. hahaha... obviously i would not be that stupid to waste my liquid paper to "conteng".. what's there to "conteng" anyway???
The best part, i could say during secondary school is the co curricular activities... i was quite an active member back then.. because the school is near so there is no transportation problems.. the same clob and society every year.. Taekwondo, chinese language society and ping pong... shows my loyalty huh?? Taekwondo is because I have been learning it since standard 1... so might as well continue... Chinese language society is because i really miss my primary school days... and ping pong.... erm.... this is just random... i'm not good in ping pong... er... i FAIL in ping pong.. why did i join in the first place?? i think its a random pick... since i'm not THAT into sports and badminton requires members to go to another place from to school to practise.. so i chose ping pong... and i till dont know why...

That sums up my secondary school life... nothing much about it... the most to talk about are my friends... but i guess you already know them.. they have been constantly appearing in my blog.. hui ping, sheh lee, rachel, cheryl, ain, ika, syahira, fathimah, cze theng, wei lin... etc etc... so i'll jump off to my next paragraph...

oh... then, it's my university life.. which is broken into 2 parts.. foundation and degree which is totally different... and i decide to continue them in my next post... so i could have more posts this month and also continue with my endless studies... huhu...

Signing off~~~

*stay tune for my next post... should not be long after judging on the consistent bugging of blogging moods... Toodles!

again about communication

Ah yes.. before you forget about me.. i'm a bachelor of communications student so basically my subjects in school are about communication... intro to mass comm... comm theories.. comm law... comm technology... etc etc... so by right.. i'm suppose to be superb at communication??

right?? NO!!

i believe you have spotted my post 2 years ago about communication theories or something.. if not.. i think it'll pop back up in the links below this post.. anyway... it's not that important... because i'm not going to be talking about communication theories or whatsoever... i'm gonna share something about communication technology or better know as ke-munication technologee... Again... another communication subject lecturer who can't communicate... What's the problem with people nowadays?? he keeps saying that we are dreadful students who don't listen in class, have no respect for the lecturer and whatsoever... eh hello... "you blind ah??!!" i'm always trying my best to listen to your lectures ok?? eventhough it kills me softly from the inside..

then he comes up with this lousy dumb st*p*d idea of changing the attendance list every lecture so that we can't refer to our previous signature and therefore people can't sign for you because according to him.. once he found that your signature is different.. he'll straight away bar you from exams.. and dont even dream of him unbarring you... what the??!! do you have a problem?? everybody knows that you can write a word in the exact same style twice... how can you sign in the same style for 14 weeks?? oh ya.. i forgot.. this is a 4credit hour paper... so times 2... 28 times.. there's sure to be some difference there... i would like to see you barring me because of that.. if you do... you are not seeing the last of me... i'll haunt you forever man!! oh.. i forgot another thing... he said if your signature or initial... i was at first using the initial of the 1st letter of my name and a figure that sounds similar with my last name... then he told me to use another initial.. "you got problem ka??" do you know what is an initial?? if you want me to sign complicated, artistic, bombastic signature.. go ahead and say it.. change my initial?? why don;t you ask me to change my name?? and also... are you aware that global warming is getting worst?? so why are you still wasting paper by printing a new attendance list every lecture?? there's around 4 or 5 pieces per class.. let's make it 4 then.. to save your guilt... 4 times 28... you do the math.. cannot?? 112 pieces of paper going to waste.. thanks to him who have to go thru the hassle of checking each and every signature making sure nobody is inventing new signatures or somewhat so that he could add in the list of candidates to be barred.. excuse me.. we did not ask you to do that, ok?? there are better ways of making sure people don't sign for others during lectures.. use your brain and think, please...

i'm not done yet... to concentrate in his lecture is kinda hard coz it's really hard to avoid the annoying invisible questions marks swarming all over your head.. he reads directly from the slides... his further explanation are directly from the slides with a little rephrasing and synonyms.. (ah... that's how you quote stuff from materials... use synonyms and rephrase.. a lesson to be learnt) and then i realise than his notes are directly from the textbook... "eh uncle, you first day in utar ka?? tak tau budak utar 80% english not very good?? you use textbook english, siapa faham?? with your weird intonation some more.. very confusing" ok..

for instance..

a point from the notes "communication is a process of exchanging information using a common sign or symbol" (just an example, the fact might not be correct)

explanation "so communication is a process... of exchanging the information which means you exchange the information using a common sign or symbol"

apa ni??!! if that's the point you think i can't read myself??

then after lectures.. you ask whether we have any questions... saying that when you were in univeristy you will feel very sad if you dont have the chance to ask questions... in my case.. i'll feel very sad if i have questions coz that means i dont understand the lecture and i grade myself as "stupid" already... ok fine.. maybe for further understanding i might ask questions.. but in your class.. no thank you... i tried it once and never wanna try again.. i get even more confuse after asking.. you seem to twist your words everywhere around the world.. when ask a straight forward a or b question... you tell me the story of c and d which is completely irrelevant and none of my concern... so, why waste time?? and make myself even further from where i am initially from the subject...

and enjoys torturing us... you mentioned that you will not give tips for exam.. so?? big deal... "don't give la!!" i dont mind.. dont even care.. i can study on my own.. thank you very much.. but then you like to give out ridiculous hints like "don't be surprise.. i make make that as a question in the exam.." i heard than like a trillion times during my 6 weeks of lectures.. what do you expect us to react when we see the questions?? get the shock of our lives and suffer from a heart attack?? and maybe die on the spot in the exam hall?? and then your favourite phrase.. "i may put that as a question but no promises.." who do you think you are?? shayne ward?? if you dont wanna let us know.. don't say it at all.. it's really irritating... oh oh... another quote "don't expect me to have question so straight forward, there is no way i'm gonna ask like that.." so??!!

understood that the lecture is boring... i know it's really hard to make it interesting with all those facts and graphs.. but at least just teach like all other lecturers do... why keep giving students a hard it's their 3rd year already.. let them be.. you dont wanna give tips then dont... go on teaching and dont blurt out random useless hints which end up with a "no guarantee".. what's your point?? to show that you wanna hint us but at the same time we should be studying everything instead of depending on tips?? you so don't know what our generation are thinking.. so dont ask and show that you understand us as if you were in our shoes.. you are NOT! we are from different generations, FYI..

-Ah.. if you are wondering why did i choose such a striking colour.. i do have a reason though.. so you don't have to read if you don't want to.. just some personal rants-

put on and put off...

Just a random photo i would like to share..
It's Hogwarts!!! don't know why.. i'm currently in a harry potter mood.. i re-read the whole 7 books... and not forgetting janet hayden.. but i lost my papers AGAIN... sigh... have been searching high and low already... but it's nowhere to be found...
sigh... type and save in the computer.. once the document corrupted... cry... write and pen down on papers.. once the papers are lost.. cry again... what's the best way to preserve writings??
Continues writing about Janet Hayden... this time i found the safest way.. well at least it is the safest for the time being... write and save it in my email... at least.. i think email database will be quite unlikely to be corrupted..


Week 4 has just began... workloads are starting to pile.. things are requiring serious attention.. what a way to start my pre-CNY mood...
2 proposals are due today... and several are due on week 7.. 3 weeks left... and i'm still here staring into empty space and empty documents... "don't know what to do" is the best phrase to be used during this semester..
Really in mood for CNY... But the heaps of assignments really puts off the fire... so what should i do???
no.1 Push assignments behind my mind and get on with the celebration and start jumping around anxiously after the celebration because the deadlines are inches away...
no.2 get started with assignments... do bit by bit even during CNY... (That's a put off!!)
no.3 Get everything done before CNY and enjoy the celebrations.. (This is IMPOSSIBLE...)
Whatever it is... I'll still have an assignment-filled CNY...

from laws to ethics

You can clearly count the days that i have not been updating because my last post was on the 1st day of the month.. It's the 21st now so i have abandoned my blog for 20 days... There's a few reason why i have not updating my blog like i did previously...
no.1 i'm lazy...
no.2 i dont think that it is necessary for me to update every single detail of my life already...
no.3 my life is so un-happening that i have nothing to fill my posts...
no.4 havent thought of it yet...

Started the first week of my very last semester as a degree student... the very last chance to get my cgpa back up for a change..

First subject... communication law.. LAW!!! my best guess is there will be a heck lot of lines to remember... and loads of reading to do...

Next... Communication Technology.. honestly.. the only thing i know about this subject is "communication technology"... that's the only the phrase the lecturer has keep repeating for a gazillion times!!

Film studies... dont know how will it turn out... hopefully it only share the "film" word and not the whole critical, analytical, skeptical, illogical, whatever-cal thing...

tomorrow will be my first taste of Media Ethics and Television Production II...

early conclusion.... I'm SO DEAD!!!!

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...

"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...

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....

final report... check!!!

ooo... i finally hand in my final report for my industrial attachment(IA) or better known as industrial training and also internship...

i know i said that i'll finish everything latest by wednesday and get my appendices and reference stuff signed and verified by thursday... but i just dont know why... a common human behavior that tends to stretch till the last minute... i officially finish my report yesterday in the office... of course.. i got a little help from the new intern, Nick... hehehe... he help me crap along for my conclusion... i was so stuck there i stared at the title for almost 3 hours...

anyway.. it's kinda sad to realise that my days in xuanworks is coming to an end... 10 more days to go... hmm... i wonder will i miss my days there???

anyway.. i have an overnight shooting tomorrow... from saturday to sunday... stay at the location for 2 days... i have never ever experienced an overnight shooting before... this sound kinda exciting... and our crew ill have to race with time since the talent will only spare that much of time for our shooting... and we have an infomercial and 2 TVCs to shoot tomorrow...
a challenge... oooo....

besides... i'm kinda looking forward as a part of 616 has plans already for the holiday... hehehe... its gonna happen right after i leave the company... huhu.. what a great way for a break... happy~~~

what else should i be saying??? hmmm... besides my weight issues... it has gone down on monday.. but went up again today... it must be the cheese... sigh~~~ what to do???
and i'm so lazy to exercise... i have been doing sit ups and push ups in the morning before going to work... i think that will help reduce a little weight... aish... when will it be a forty something instead of a 50???

ramblings

i seriously have the feeling that i'm not going to do well in this semester's finals... my cgpa is definitely going to drop again... gosh... what have i been doing for the past few days???? honestly... i'm not sure... i studied... certainly... not much but at least i did.... remembered points... yeah... i'm on track... the correct one.... forcing point forms and words to be drilled into my almost-full-of-anything-but-academic-stuff brain... yeah... i did that... go to the exam hall... yes.. i'm getting there... last mental note to myself whether i remembered everything that i'm suppose to remember... checked....

into the exam hall.... lay down my stationary.... put my phone and stuff on the floor... flips through the exam question paper... voila... congratulations, you've done it again.... the stuff that you spotted and memorised so hard is not out... very good... brilliant.... so what now???? crap as much as you can and don't show anyone that you are freaking out because you don't know how to answer a single freaking question.... great.... just great... start writing... write those you have been memorising so hard before.... make them worth it... worth the effort... eventhough it obviously seem not related to the question asked.... just write... puke as much words as you can... get an extra answer booklet... just to comfort yourself.. i have loads of things to write about... loads of nonsensical stuff... loads of nonsense, that is... does the word "nonsensical" exist??

ok fine... i finish everything in time... not really finish.. i mean pour out all the nonsense i have on the paper... hoping that it'll get a few marks for effort of writing but i guess i'm thinking too much... so i'll just throw everything out of my mind and stop thinking about it... i'll feel better that way.... hopefully... but not....

everything just falls apart... i know i did not put enough effort... i knew that all along... but i didnt bother to add... so what??? i couldnt care less... i'm still the lazy bum who skips math questions so that i dont have figure out so many solutions and yet i still did my homework...

i'm very self contradicting... which kills the hell out of me... i want good results but i'm lazy... damn lazy... i'm disappointed with my forever-dropping cgpa... but when it comes to putting effort in finals... i back off... what do i want actually???

sigh sigh....

why is my post so emo for the past few months???? has my lifestyle changed??? i want my bubbly happy life back!!!! give me back my bubbles!!!!
or is it the aging problem???? changes how i see things... oh no... if that's the case... i better do something.... FAST.... i dont wanna grow old yet.... i still want my bubbly life back...
or maybe its my constant failure.... blame design subjects!!! they have not been nice to me since i was in foundation.... i still hate them... thoroughly...
i'm still waiting for my bubbles...

hopefully i'll find them this coming Sunday... i'm looking forward to it.... time to meet new friends and get my mind off exams and failure and whatever stuff that is bothering me...
bubbles... come to me....


in the meantime...


i just did a test on facebook....

just took the "What is your deepest, darkest fear?" quiz and the result is You fear failure..

You are a very driven person, with specific goals set to guide you through life. The idea that you might not achieve these goals is scary to you. Since you identify so strongly with your actions (your work, your relationships, etc.), you feel that failure would reflect poorly upon you. Without success and accolades, you secretly wonder what value you have, and if people would still love and respect you.



so i have this phobia thingy.... failure-phobia... or whatever you call that.... well i admit that though... although it took me long enough to realise that... hehehe...

tadaima!!!

heyo heyo!!! what's up besides the ceiling or sky....

what's with the long break yo ask me???

well well well... assumptions people....

my study week... last week... this week 3 papers...

what am i doing???? since i'm not blogging????

wahahaha... is your guess "STUDYING"???

lucky guess.... that's not the main reason!!!

its just my internet connection was down for almost a week here!!!
yala tu... i can concentrate on my revision and get the marks i couldnt get during my mid terms and assignments... yeah right... never!!!
1 week without facebook... pet society... blog... aish.... torture!!!
luckily i still have my tv... my savior... so no internet is still fine with me...
until.... when i found out that the stuff that are coming out for exam only has a few sentences in my notes... i began to freak out... oh no.... where is the internet when i need it.... this is tertiary studies... when you don't have enough info... you search for info... but the point is... how am i going to search with the damn dsl light blinking like some kinda of flashing thingy (dono what could i use to describe) which is obviouly driving me crazy...

current exam status... 2 down 4 more to go...

what else...
i guess that pretty much sums up my past few days....
if there's anything else i'll be updating...
so for now... i'll just be....
signing off!!
goodbye folks!!

aint that easy

today started off just like any other school day... woke up at 6am.... breakfast... bath...
oh yes.... the lights in the bathroom decided to not work on this early morning... so i'll have to bath in total darkness... feeling around for shower foam and the knob for the shower...


went off to school early... reach uni at 7am... slept til 7.30am... and walk up to class to start on my script.... i know i started very late... and i know the deadline is tomorrow.. but what can i do??? i wrote the teaser already... then i did some mistakes and end up losing the whole document... what else can i do??? rewrite.... then my act one started off a little weird... so i decided to change the idea from the original one... what to do again??? rewrite.... come on... this is the subject that i enjoy... so just bear with me....

what else??? oohh... cold storage is officially open today... wahahaha... purchase rm100 worth of stuff and get a goodie bag.... well.. it should have open earlier because it's already my last week and i'm going for my internship next semester...


ok now.. i admit its hard to change a novel format story into a script because i cant just put down descriptions and expect words to appear on the tv screen... i'll have to explain everything in dialogues or actions... such as the character's past... habits.... experiences.... it'll be weird for the character to say... "oh i do this all the time" suddenly without anybody else to talk to... when he/she is doing a frequent habit.... yikes... its not as easy as i thought though....


by the way... what's an epilogue??? its not a trailer of a preview... but it reveals what is going to happen in the next episode.... how come it is not a preview???? how am i going to write something that i'm not sure of??? aish.... back to work folks!!! hopefully it turns out ok.....
since i really love the story of "the eternal watcher"....

and i also hope the lecturer likes it too.... beeeboooo

why i talk in class

why do i talk in class???

why do i like to talk in class???

why do i enjoy talking in class????

• it keeps me awake... other than writing notes and scribbling pmc...
• you can usually find a lot of topics to talk about when the lecturer is talking in front of the class....
• i dont find it hard to concentrate while talking... so i have nothing to lose... i can listen and talk at the same time... i still know what the lecturer is talking about... so why not??? i gain knowledge and be entertained at the same time...
• like i said above... i can multitask.... i can copy notes and talk at the same time... but i sometimes will miss a word or two... so i talk and ask my friends beside me... that will usually be egg...
  
• sometimes talking does not necessarily involves topics out of the subject we are learning... and it helps understanding too!!!!
• a class with complete silence... especially bc students... it means something is really really wrong... either they are interested in the topic or they are all turned off... in other words... sleeping... zzzz....
• last but not least.... its my hobby to talk... not only in class... but everywhere else!!!

why am i posting this??? its just to let teachers... tutors... lecturers know why students talk in class... why they MUST talk in class... because i'm really fed-up with people who cant just stand a little... when i mean little... i do REALLy mean LITTLE... more like a whispering noise of people chit chatting.... i understand it might be very distracting for some people... but come on la... dont tell me you will pay 100% of attention to someone who is blabbing in front.... even i myself cant guarantee that... although i DO pay attention in class...


anyway.... try to ignore it somehow... treat it as a natural noise... dont irritate yourself too much unless... the whole place is turning into a marketplace... and that's getting a bit too far... so its ok to show some colours...


although i have no classes tomorrow...but i still have to wake up early in the morning... since i'm off for "ching ming".... woooo....


ciaoz....

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...

-sinking back into the assignments pile-

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!!!!

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!!

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????
