dunno why...
i suddenly feel bored...
not that i have nothing to do...
i just feel bored & lazy to do my assignments...

finally...
i've some understanding on how to use spss...
but cannot use the programme in uni lab because cannot save the file...
yes...cannot save into desktop, my documents, pendrive...
no use typing all the data but cannot SAVE!!!
only one of the pc manage to save the file...
jac is so lucky...
weird la...

everything is going to end in 2 weeks time...
let me count the exact days...
13 days more...
i not sure whether i should feel relieve or sad...
relieve because i don't have to go throught assignments & exams anymore...
actually assignments are still ok...
but not exam...stress & tension...
sad because i'll gonna miss school life...
& step into the working world forever...
unless i pursue Master but that time it would not be as fun as now...
sometimes, i really hope all these won't end so soon...
but what can i do?
life still goes on...
time still moves on...
i don't have power to stop time from forwarding...
unless i have "Click" remote control...
haha...keep dreaming...

so, what will i be in the next 5 years?
i don't know...
i really don't know...
haven't really thought of it...
i only wish that i could find a job i really love...
hopefully one where i could travel & work at the same time ;P

talking about travel...
below are some of the photos i took during Kuala Selangor trip...
enjoy...

done nothing much today...
in the morning, i did 'pre-testing' for my corporate video...
well...the comments are not bad...
done editing the footages...
now only left the music, narration & color correction...
but stucked here...

for the questionnaire, also stucked at analysis...
yup...cos i'm not so sure how to use spss...
need to wait till next week only can do...

so for now, i only can do literature essay...
but these few days i was really exhausted (stucked in the 'ice box' editing room for few hours facing the pc)...
looked at the paper, can't think anything...
can't even concentrate...
so i watched tv, listened to music & on9...
until today, only written 1 paragraph...the introduction...

today, sat for almost 2 hours at Tai Zi with Huishan...
have lunch there & 'gossip' a bit la...
both of us felt very lazy to move...
actually i wanna go home earlier to rest but lazy to move my butt...
Huishan wanna go toilet but lazy to move also...haha
so we sat there until 3pm...
when it looked like about to rain that time...

this semester's media law students (i'm not one of them) will have 'moot' court next friday...
sounds quite fun...
the images of court proceedings in tvb dramas flashed in my mind when huishan told me her group's story...
i'm tvb drama freak but not as crazy as huishan's sister la...
the lecturer even had borrowed all the costumes & the props used in real court...
wow...she's really looking forward to it...
well...i might be one of the audiences...hahaha
just wait & see la ;P

finally...
i will get to watch Harry Potter...
my father said he wanna watch so we plan to watch it tomorrow...
hope it goes on smoothly...
actually the plan was today but it was a bit late already & gonna rain soon at my place...
so have to postpone it to tomorrow...
i've heard many negative comments from my friends...
but i still wanna watch it...
wanna know how the director transformed the novel into motion picture...

it has been 'years' since i logged in to JJFC forum...
well...i got quite a number of hot news (some i already knew)...
JJ has broken the Guinness Record!!!
in 2 hours & 30 minutes, JJ had signed 3052 copies of his latest album in autograph session!!!
no short cut oh...the signature is the same he used everytime he signed his album...
below are some of the pictures...

LiF3, As uSuAL

life goes on as usual...

actually, i'm quite happy today
do you know why?
wanna know why?
here you go...

i've collected 100 copies of filled-in quetionnaire,
which means that i've achieved the target...
but there are still some with my beloved friends...
it has been a week already since i started to give out my questionnaire...
now, i can start analyzing the data anytime i want...
don't know how long it will take...
the program (spss) hasn't become my friend yet...
today, i've approached more than 10 male students (yes, in my uni) to help me fill-in the questionnaire...
when i was waiting to get the key for editing room, i walked around the corridor searching for my target...hahaha...
my friends & I all help each other to distribute the questionnaire...
thanks a lot to my beloved friends...muacks ;P

yesterday, i worked as conti for MIFA 8 competition...
well, i've gained some knowledge on fashion (as i'm very outdated in fashion cos i'm not into fashion)...
Twiggy (i haven't seen how she looks like but i know she's very thin)...
organiza (a kind of fabric...don't know how it looks like also...the spelling correct???)...
don't want to reveal much here...
wanna know what it's all about, please stay tuned to StarWorld, Astro (but i don't know when it'll be aired)...
wanna watch the show, but i don't have Astro at home :-(

oh...just remembered...
i still have literature assignment (1000 words essay) to do...
but i just feel very lazy to get started...
i mean start to write as i've searched for the references last week...

done nothing much today...
went to editing room at 12pm...
came out for lunch at 12.50pm...
back to editing room at 1.50pm...
went home at 3.20pm...
i've just editing about 1 minute scene & it's from the rough cut...
most of the time chatting in the editing room...
a bit regretted that i didn't cherish my time...
but never mind...
still have time to do editing (hope so)...

just knew that my best friend's eyes are infected by dunno-what-reason...
hope she'll recover soon...

ok la...
that's all for today...
go makan now...
& watch tv...
hahaha...
luckily i don't have astro,
if not, i'll be glued to the tv from morning till night...

worried...
frustrated...
STRESS is BACK!!!

20 days more before research presentation...
& yet i've not completed distributing the questionnaires...
still have 20++ questionnaires not yet return to my hand...
still have 10++ blank questionnaires with me...
there are more than 10 invalid data...

oh NO!!!
i'm really running out of time...
haven't even download spss...
but the main frustration is i doesn't really know how to use it...
attended spss seminar but still can't really remember all the contents...

i really need your help...
if you've received my email with questionnaire attached to it,
pls do save my day by filling it & email back to me...
your participation & cooperation are greatly needed...
your contribution will be highly appreciated...
a trillion of thanks!!!

thanks to all my friends who helped me to distribute the questionnaires...
yinwei, sukkee, chinlay, jaclyn, meichih, carmein, meng choo...
& my beloved sister...
did i missed anyone?
i hope none...
apologize if i had :(

today,
i've edited 3 mintues plus of 6-8 minutes corporate video...
but there are still many footages & ideas have not edited...
i think it will be more than 8 minutes if i didn't cut out some parts...
but there are so many nice footages...
need to make rationale decision here...
how i hope i could chunk in all the footages...
but this is impossible...

too long, audiences will be tired of it...
too short, there will be not enough information to capture audiences' heart...
& influence them to visit Kuala Selangor...

just imagine,
producing 6-8 minutes video from 3 hours tape of footages...
it's really not that easy...
as the footages are all scenery footages...
no dialogue...
no interview...
no archive footages...

the best footage is of course the sunset...
we've capture 30 minutes of sunset...
after increasing the speed,
the movement of the clouds and the light are so beautiful!!!
i could only say this trip is a worthwhile trip...
although we didn't manage to capture any fireflies footage...

just checked the 2nd draft of final exam timetable...
Introduction to English Literature is on the 3rd day of the final exam period, 13 August (Monday)...
this is the only paper which has final exam...

being in the last semester of last year of degree really makes me worned out...
hope all these will end soon...
TIME is my greatest challenge...
my greatest enemy...
so must cherish every second i have now...

let me count how many assignments are still in progress:
1. Intro to English Literature 1000 words essay
2. Frankenstein novel (still half way through)
3. 6-8 minutes corporate video - editing
4. distribute questionnaire (after that, use spss to calculate the data)
5. prepare final report and presentation for the survey findings

another frustration...
find job for internship...
but i do not want to care about this now...
as i have too many things on my mind already...
do not want to add more burden on my shoulder first...
so after final exam only take this into account...

...Nothing is Impossible, Absolutely Invincible...
...没有不可能, 只有打不死...

today, went to watch Invisible Target <男儿本色>...
directed by Benny Chan...
starred Nicholas Tse (Chan Chun), Shawn Yue (Fong Yik-Wei), Jaycee Chan (Wai King-Ho), Wu Jing (Tien Yeng-seng)...

one word to describe...geng...superhuman
just imagine being hit my lorry while 'flying' down the road & hit by a car after that...
not a 'light' pressure' but hit with great pressure...
being punched and hit repeatedly (cruel and brutal) during a fight...
whole body smashed into glass, kicked, punched continuously...
surely that guy will be seriously injured right?
but not in this movie...
the characters still alive in one piece with minor injuries...
that's why i say 'geng' (in cantonese)...

one can estimate what will happen next in some parts...
but i won't reveal the parts here...
wanna know?
just go to the cinema to watch it yourself la...haha

there are some touching scenes...
very touching...touched deep into your heart...

action-packed, bombing, blasting, fighting, smashing of glasses, fire, gun-firing, chasing, kicking, punching, hitting, 'flying', jumping...
a truely Action genre film...
quite violence...

the children did a great job here...
their acting are very real...

despite all the violence scenes,
humour element is infused during the tensed moment...
haha...

there are 2 different scenes,
but both use the same footage...

overall,
a worthy film to watch...
but if you can't stand 'extreme' violence,
please be forwarned...

Last 2 weekends (6/7, 7/7, 8/7, 14/7, 15/7), i was busy with production. This was one of the reasons I didn't update my blog for 2 weeks.

6 & 7 July: Me and my production crews went to Kuala Selangor to shoot corporate video for our Screen Production project.

-Day 1-
It was a long trip, about 2 hours to reach our destination. Our 1st stop was tanjong Karang fishing village. We were lucky to witness fishing boats returning from the sea. My ships, haha. Because each time I saw fishing boats coming back, I'll say ship, ship ship. My friends cannot bear it and said they are my ships. Lunch time. We went to a stall (house). The orange juice was so refreshing and 'delicious'. Next, we did a dangerous 'stunt'. We stood at the edge of the bridge to shoot the scenery. When big lorries passed by, we felt like floating in the air but the footages who got were quite nice. At Bukit Malawati, we saw many monkeys, naughty and love-to-eat monkeys. Some climbed on top of the car! At night, we went to Kampung Kuantan Fireflies Park. I was scared to sit inside the boat at first but when I saw fireflies with my own eyes, I was stunned. They are so beautiful and 'kelip-kelip' around the trees, like Christmas tree. We took the wrong road back. So we travelled to as far as Klang.
- End of Day 1-

-Day 2-
We went to Bukit Malawati again. This time, we took the tram ride up the hill. There were many talents involved here but they were 'free'. Haha. It was Saturday. Tourists poured in and took the tram ride, which was why we shot footages on the tram with children. Then, we went to Pasir Penambang to shoot some footages there and enjoyed fresh sugar cane drink. We bought some crackers as 'souvenir'. After that, we went back to Bukit Malawati (yeah, this was the 3rd time) to wait for sunset as the sunset on Day 1 was not nice. We shot 30 minutes footages of sunset on top of Bukit Malawati. It was beautiful. It was awesome. It was eerie when the night fall as many warriors were killed there in the past, in defending Malawati Fort and Kuala Selangor.
-End of Day 2 and Kuala Selangor trip-


8 July:
Work as 'conti girl' (in-charge of continuity - Take 1, 2, 3 etc. NG, Good take etc.) for MIFA 8 competition. Started around 8am and ended at 10pm. Nothing much to talk about. So, to sum up, the contestants are very talented designers.


Day 1-14 July:
This production was the opposite of Kuala Selangor production. The schedule was very 'flexsible'. Day 1. Morning met up at 10.30am at South City Plaza for office scene. It was very funny. Due to lack of 'human resources', all production crews except our cameraman, were in the scene, act as extras. The so-called 'CEO' had the potential to become 'real CEO'. Hui Shan really looked like music teacher (after she changed her clothes). Wait. Missed something very important. As this corporate was about Halo Music and Halo Cafe, there were pictures of Halo Music artistes in the office. Chin Lay said Rynn Lin Yu Zhong is my new friend. So I added, JJ Lin is my old friend. HAHA...The main characters of the story were very photogenic and handsome/pretty). End at around 2pm. Then, my friends went to my house to 'lepak' and sleep. HAHA. At night around 8pm, we went back to SCP for live performance scene at Halo Cafe. The performer was evergreen singer.

Day 2-15 July:
Started around 1pm and ended around 2pm for house scene. Went for lunch. & wait for the rain to stop. When stop raining, we went to the playground to shoot the playground scene. As we were setting up, it started raining again. We continued to shoot in the rain. Luckily, the rain wasn't heavy. Then we headed to SCP Halo Cafe for fake and real performance. The real performance was at 9pm but by the time we had our dinner (8.45pm ++), the whole plaza was out of electricity power. It was so dark and romantic inside the cafe. So, we didn't shoot and headed home.
