post-mv shooting (celebration -part1)

After all the hassle about shooting.... moving... adjusting angles... waking up early in the morning.... running here and there.... stuffing everything into the boots of the poor little myvi... making my poor proton go faster (wooong woooooong).... setting up.... clearing up.... making a mess every where.... panic-ing.... frustrations... sleep-less nights....





we are finally done with everything!!!! YAY!!!!






clearing up all the bags and equipment.....













we were planning to have our lunch at full house... but it's not open for business yet... not until 12pm... so we wondered around... that is when PJ lost his car keys and they magically appeared inside his car.....








then... we hop off to big apple









and ordered some donuts...








Catch the pig!!!!!







caught red-handed!! (or its sticky handed...)







diiig iiiin.....









the gang....







joining the gang...



the gang... again...


the outsiders....

day5 -part1+2+3

Woke up damn early this morning.... 6.40am!! alarms keep ringing and ringing... one louder than the other... ish ish... so the 4 of us sleeping in festiny's room(eggy+joanne+me+festiny) drag ourselves out of bed and got ready.... those in the other room are not awake yet... so we thought maybe we'll just start setting up first... until 7.30... there's still no movement from the other room... so festiny went in and woke them up.... seems like they stayed up late the previous night to go through footages of the earlier shots... and found out that the one shot in section 17 cant be used due to visible shadows and unconsistent lighting.... oh shoot... now we'll have to seek for another place fast and quick... because tomorrow's the last day of our shooting week...

continuing last night's unfinished takes.... some of us went down for breakfast... taking turns...

then... a group plus our male talent set off to jalan kuching for the next scene while a few stayed back to finish the "unfinished" scene....


male talent doing yoga (acting)



then... could resist posing in front of the camera...

when there's nothing better to do~~~

I really liked this part...

talent posing~~~

crew posing...

resisting laughter... (it's funnier at the male talent's side.... he stoned his facial expression...)

eye contact (electric waves... zzzzz)

after completing all scenes in jalan kuching.... we headed back to selayang and reshoot the part which was "rejected".....

pro-nye... kite orang mia director and cameraman...

it sure is obvious that no one is in mood for photos...

maybe not....


to be continue...

exam times~~~



Here's my third ebay item!!! yay!! Arrived while i was busy scribbling for my advertising copywrting exam.... i'll be expecting another 3 more arriving together... which i think will arrive on thursday.... when i'm squishing my very dry brain for answers during my broadcasting ii paper....


today's advertising copywriting was one of a kind... ok... first thing first... i did not went "sesat"-ed like last time...


the exam clock has started ticking.... i'm busy brain-storming for ideas to fill the copy required.... why didnt i prepare this earlier??? anyway... all was ok... i finished the compulsory question and move to the "answer 2 out of 3 question".... at first i was planning to write the sales letter... then i suddenly have no confidence in writing letters creatively.... besides i forgot which info should be in which paragraph... so i practically skipped the question... and went off doing the television commercial script.... you guys may think... writing scripts are my specialty... it will be a breeze for me... but you're wrong this time.... i'm not good at writing commercials... due to the time limit and lack of info.... i think i said something about hating time limits before.... anyway... nothing much to blab about this... NEXT....


after i'm done with question 2, the tvc... i went on with question 3 which requires us to change the existing body and headline copy of a billboard and reposition the product.... everything went pretty smoothly until... i "ter"-saw.... (i wasn't peeping!!) my eyes somehow caught hold of kevin sitting diaganally in front of me... i saw him twisting, turning and folding the paper... "what's his issue with the paper???" then i saw him tracing something on to his answer script!!! OH S**T!!!! you have to draw???!!!! panic-ing... i quickly scribbled some very lame-looking pictures under my answers.... well... i dont think i have to explain how "decent" my drawing is.... and then... kevin told me that actually drawing is NOT REQUIRED!!!! oh faraday!!!! why did i waste all my time drawing those lame pictures???!!!! dang!!!! i bet mr zachary or ms tianne will be laughing histerically after seeing my drawings.... on other hand... i think my drawing may result marks dedustion!!!! because they dont really match my description!!! a so-called stylish ford(the car) has now turned into a toy-car-like vehicle... thanks to my drawing.... shooooox....


hopefully mr zachary or ms tianne or whoever is marking my anser script... would be wise enough to ignore the drawings and just look at the words instead... besides... i think i have inserted too much words for a billboard!!! i should have omit the highlight copy.... why am i so "kepo" to just insert it in the copy.... billboards dont have highlight copy!!! screw my "kepo"-ness....

arrived!!!


my second item from ebay has arrived!!!!

yay!!!

2 down... 4 more to go!! (that's for my ebay items)

1 down.... 4 more to go!!!! (that's for my finals!!!)

advertising copywrting tomorrow... creative writing is the main element for this paper... although i love playing with words... but i dont think my words fulfill the creative writing category....

sigh... i'll have to "swallow" (aka telan) 4 books in one day!!!! maybe not just 1 day... but i think i'm left with 12 more hours... minus eating, sleeping, watching tv... hanging around doing nothing.... plus wasting my time doing things that are kinda irrelevant (which is what i'm currently doing...) i think i'm only left with around maybe 4-5 hours... aish!!!

besides that... i'll also have to prepare the creative brief.... copysheet... sales letter.... and all other stuff that are coming out for my advertising copywriting paper tomorrow..... time is not enough!!!! (or it should actually be... i'm not studying hard enough...)

i have been really really really looking forward to my sem break.... which also means... the genting trip.... hk trip.... cheryl's farewell gathering.... and reading my ebay winnings.....

now i'm kinda hungry.... lunch!!!

signing off!!!

















p/s: malays are immigrants too!!!! (they are from Palembang...)

lazy excuses~~~

i've won all the items i've bidded in ebay...

so now it's waiting time...

the previous seller that i keep mentioning finally replied me and said that he received the payment... hurray!!!! phew~~~

i'm currently expecting 2 more books to arrive at my doorstep.... which should arrive by tomorrow according to my calculations and "trust" towards malaysian post service....

then i'll have to pay for for 3 more books and wait for maybe another 3-4 days.... wuallaaa.... all the books i wanted has arrived for me and i've got something to fill my time during my sem break... wheee...

then i guess i'll take a break from ebay and keep maintaining my maybank account.... as around rm1oo has been spent on these books... wooo!!! i cant believe that!!! i'll be leaving my maybank account alone for now....

oh gosh... i have completely distracted from my so-called revision plan... currently busy arranging time for making transactions and stuff... anyway... i'm not really aiming high for this semester as everything is kinda vague.... not really a clear format is out... nothing much to be read about as there are not much theory questions to be asked.... everything is about your understanding, application and not to mention creativity (was wondering when will it be mentioned...) so now i'm still having problems overcoming the "creative hurdle"....

so i guess that's my excuse of being lazy....

random blabs -again-

so i'm gonna be facing my "pendidikan moral" paper tomorrow... and what have i done??? besides ebaying, blogging and facebooking.... i think i did read through all the notes given by the lecturer... hopefully there's something which penetrated into the unusual thick skull of mine.... to just make the few hours of reading through worth the time.... hahaha....



as mentioned... still no news about my payment yet... whether it got through or not... i'm assuming that the seller is too fed-up with my bugging about whether he recieved the payment or not and decided to just ignore me just for the fun of it and making me anxious over rm21.... aish... maybe next time i should just stick with a seller with a maybank account to avoid all these troubles.... i'll just keep that in mind...



what else do i have to say here???



i'm running out of stuff to be written here.... besides complaining about my finals and how the subjects are so freaking hard to understand... i'm currently still facing the "creative hurdle" (oh, i love this phrase!!! beats the "writer's block" a gazzilion times!!!) in generating ideas for the advertising copywriting paper.... ish ish ish... the paper is on tuesday and i still have zero ideas in my mind.... i'm so dead!!!

my coursework marks arent helping much... well... as usual.. my marks are usually not as high as expected... i have been getting used to that... since year1sem2.... so i guess i'm ok... hahahaha...

it finally arrived!!!

my very first online shopping item has finally arrived!!!!!



yay yay!!!


told ya i have this sudden crave for chic-lits.... i bought a whole lot of them from ebay... which were priced reasonably in my opinion... dont tell me you can get it from somewhere else cheaper.... unless it other books out of my shopping list....


however... i'm kinda worried now as one of the seller have not reply about receiving my payment... i made that payment online via maybank2u because he dont have a maybank account... and now there's still no news about him receiving it or not... ish... jangan-lah con my rm21!!!!!



kecoh-nya ini maybank2u.... first if you wanna do online fund transfer... you need to have to TAC pin... for security purposes... i understand... but you'll have to register your handphone number thru the atm machine first in order to get those pin numbers... because each pin will only last for like 2 hours max.... argh... might as well go and do the transactions thru the atm machine... i feel safer this way.... but because i'm not sure how to conduct an interbank transfer... that is why i got the TAC pin from the atm machine and went back home to do the transaction to avoid myself standing in front of the atm machine for like ages dont know what to do... and thinking for at least 10 minutes after every step to make sure what i'm doing is correct.... besides... i could also avoid angry eyes of the long queue behind me....




at first i completed the transaction... then it stated that the amount will be credited on the following day... which is today... and it requires some kind of id no.... which is just simply insert the item no.... then it requires the name of the account owner... which i think i put it correct... but there's not enough space... as you know... malays have long names... muhd... something something... then followed by bin muhd... something something.... because i'm running out of space... i totally omitted the part after "bin".... i hope that's not a wrong entry...


ish.... dont!!! this cannot be happening to me!!!




please reply me and say you have received my payment!!!!

pre-finals...

I have been missing from panda's space for a while now... i bet most of you will be thinking that i'm actually busy studying away from the computer for my upcoming finals... NOT!!! well.. some studying has been taken place but not as much as it is supposed to... hahaha... me not studying when i'm suppose to is just like breathing in oxygen.... it's so normal that you cant even feel it...

anyway... i have been kinda busy ebay-ing.... haha... making trips to the bank for transaction purposes and stuff... i still haven't receive anything yet but i think it shall arrive soon... hee... cant wait... it's my first time doing online shopping... hopefully it goes alright... please dont con my RM20...

besides that... i have been kinda busy clearing the files in my pc... yeah... the hard disk space is getting lesser and the bubble keeps popping up telling me that my hard disk is running out of space.... which is kinda annoying... the thing is... i'm not sure what is taking up so much space in my hard disk??!!! i dont download series which will practically munch off your hard disk space.... and my documents dont really have much stuff either... it's only around 2gb... my other files are saved in another drive... softwares are not taking up much space either... i cleared my temporary files folder and recycle bin but that annoying bubble still pops up from time to time... argh!!! i guess i'll have to just empty "my documents" folder.... and tip everything into my external.... ish...

what now??? oh ya... i should be revising my moral stuff... then get on with broadcasting.... ish the angles, lighting and stuff are really killing me.... not forgetting the sales letter... how am i going to write a letter creatively??? a letter is a letter... how creative can it be?? it might be just too creative until the receiver doesnt understand a single word written on it.... so what's the point??!!! well... as my faculty's name changes from "faculty of art and social science" into "faculty of creative industries"... everything done requires creativity... even a boring moral presentation too needs creativity... what the??!!! what is the use of creativity when nobody is listening???!!

anyway... i'm not aiming high for this coming finals... like they say... the higher you aim the harder you fall... so better not do that this time... as long as my name remains in the dean list... how's that for not aiming high?? as i have lower my expectations from being in the president's list which i know i'll never be back up there eventhough i gain a 4 flat for the coming finals... so i might as well just give up that hope and hope for a more practical one, easier to achieve, that is..... hahaha....
