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....

signing off!!!

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....

day4 -part2

after class... all of us gathered at pieggie's house to wait for PJ and Boey... since their class ended at 2pm and ours ended at 5.. i assume they left the uni already....

our journey to selayang is not as smooth as it is suppose to be... as we got lost.... stuck in the jam... etc etc... why is everytime going to selayang a diasater??!!! sheesh.... i'll never ever get there 1 shot smoothly.... by not getting lost and stuff... ish ish ish...

anyway.... this is when i missed the opening ceremony of the beijing olympics...

reached festiny's place at around 9 something.... rushed off for a bath and get things settled down and start setting up....

poserz...

eggy is always busy with her phone.....

poserz everywhere!!!!

Ready...

she's miss lighting for today... (coz the original one is not around...)

Jay Chou in da house!!!!

our director "sacrificed" so much for our mv....

Poor thing.... it's really tiring...

this is the best place to be.... air-conditioned....

here i am... hanging around...

and around...

photo of the day....

spooooky.... NOT!! i just happen to be moving while this photo was taken... and coincidently... i'm wearing white...

day4 -part1

oopps.... after so many days... i totally forgotten that i have left my mv progress reports behind... heee...

here's days 4...

Friday.... today's comm theory tutorial class was cancelled... so we took the free time in the morning to shoot the swimming pool part of our mv... at ken iii apartment... thanks to bear's friend... adrian for helping us persuading the guards...

due to the security guards' pestering.... not many photos were taken.... at first they say we can shoot as long we dont shoot the building... then suddenly they said that we lied to him about shooting and we are not allowed to shoot again... ish... bising betul~~

photos floating on the water....

those in white shorts are my legs you're looking at.......

and i can assure you that the water is super-dee-duper cold!!! it's 8 in morning!!!

Poor PJ had rashes on his legs due to the cold water...

Just dont ask...

MV -I need you VS I need you-

Our MV is finally viewable in youtube!!!

please comment after watching...

thank you very much...

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....

signing off~~

end of beijing olympics...

after 16 days... the beijing olympics 2008 has finally come to an end... although i missed the opening...


but luckily i still get to watch the closing... heee... along with my individual 4-shots assignment editing.... now i know... how i suck at editing.....





being in broadcasting is like a wake-up call to me... telling me that what i think is simple and easy is actually not really what as i thought it is.... things that i thought needed the least effort actually requires the most.... things that i thought i could easily manage turns out to be the hardest of all... its not just what i think it is anymore... its more about technical skills, drawing skills, design skills, editing skills, production skills and a lot of other skills which are not found within me...

sometimes i really wonder if i have chose the right course.... it's entirely my choice... my mom and dad were open minded enough to let me choose something that will decide my future.... so that means i have full responsibility of all the decisions made... i cant blame anybody for any problems i faced.... however... i'm not sure whether do i suite this field.... i was pretty certain that i belong to this field... but it seems like that because i'm compared to my other science stream friends who are currently doing chemistry, law, nursing, pharmacy, medicine,engineering..... and all other science related or non-communication-related courses... i just seem to be the most suitable out of some "unsuitables"....







i cant draw... i cant act.... i cant plan shots... i cant design.... i cant edit... and now i even doubt whether can i write anymore..... everything just seems so hard.... everybody is better....

but if anybody out there thinks that broadcasting is an easy-peasy course which you can just grab a degree with your eyes closed... think again... or just give it a try... you'll think twice before saying that this course is easy.... in my opinion... it might be just as hard as those science subjects out there.... so watch out...





ish.... apasal emo??!!! back to olympics...


time just rockets away... i still havent really put away the emo-ness in me because i missed the opening... and now i'm actually watching the closing... ironic...


I love the mascots so much!! BeiBei, JingJing, HuanHuan, YingYing and NiNi

Especially JingJing!!! because he's a PANDA!!!!

Cute!!!

day3, maybe not...

was actually planning to write a day3 report of the mv shooting progress but i'm not involved on that day... because it requires class-skipping.... and i became the representative to attend classes to jot down what the lecturer's taught.... i believe i mentioned that before.... so i guess i'll just skip that part and go on.... but i'm kinda lazy to be uploading photos which will cost me a lot of precious time... so i guess it'll be delayed till the next post then... or whenever i have to mood....

about today... as usual... reach school early.... nothing much to talk about.... except that after completing our squirrel print ad... eggy went of for breakfast date... so i'm left with with cheng hui but she's preparing for her presentation... so i shall not disturb her.... luckily i bought my external with me... so i watch some shows saved in my external.... end up laughing to myself and receiving weird looks from cheng hui from time to time..... then.... jessie came in and gave me similar looks whenever i'm laughing.... and then... titus arrived and did the same thing both of them were doing for the past 45 minutes......

then we were to see ms preesha to get some comments about our website... however... we went at the wrong time... she was having class and we'll have to wait until she's done with the class first before we can get her to check on our work... in the end... we were late for comm theory tutorials and the tutor was seriously pissed off by our actions... because a majority of the class were late... cant blame her anyway.... it's over the limits....

during break time... we started discussing about our genting trip after finals... woo-hoo!!!! really looking forward!!! we planned the transport... food... activities and stuff... until festiny ask us whether we could change the date from monday to tuesday... ohhh nooo!!! this is planned out early ago that we'll be going on a monday.... so no delays!!! heee....

anyway.. today's comm theory lecture has made into records of the least attended lecture class of all... around 25 students are present from a total of 3 courses join together.... and guess what... 10 of them are from bc3... hahahahaha......

although i'm currently drowned by assignments but i suddenly have the urge... crave of reading chic lits.... i tried bidding the shopaholic series by sophie kinsella on ebay but lost because i didnt notice the last time i was out bidded... aish!!! now all similar stuff on other shopping websites are above rm20..... not cheap!!!! currently also searching for meg cabot series... but most of them requires payment via paypal... which is something i dont have.... how???? i can only pay via bank transaction thru my maybank account.... susahnya!!! wanna support the reading culture also tak boleh..... hurdles everywhere.... mafan!!! the first hand new books available in bookstares cost rm35 something.... so expensive!!! how to buy???? i'll see where can i borrow these books...
but i'm a very slow reader... slow in a sense that i tend to stop halfway and continue drowning myself under assignments and exams.... so i dont think borrowing from the library is a good option....

i still cant install the dreamweaver software.... how??? what's wrong???

banyaknya problems ni.....

dodged...

after i reach home from school today.... i got to know that a parcel for me has arrived yesterday when i was busy shopping in pyramid.... so.... instead i'm left with a pink card telling me to collect it at the post office within 15 days or else.....

the post office closes at 4.30... since i reached home before 4.. i guess i could just go over and get my parcel instead of risking it being sent back to the sender because i may forgot all about it after this...

after retrieving my parcel.... i was on a hurry to rush back home... when i just shot off when the traffic light turned green.... well... doesnt sound wrong, right??? but nooo.... it's awfully wrong.... i was so focused on going home... i didnt realised that the green light was actually meant for those vehicles which heading straight but i'm planning to turn.... so i just turned and almost crashed into a toyota vios coming from the next lane..... luckily that guy jammed his brakes hard enough to stop and avoid the crash....

and lucky me too... there was no damage done towards both cars... however... i think the driver of that toyota vios is still cursing me like hell... and seriously doubt my driving skills and qualifications of getting a license.... so sorry man!!! i know that it is impossible for you to be reading my blog... but i just wanna say that i'm really really sorry!!! oh gosh.... i promise i'll be more careful next time!!!
