take this music & let it take you away
I began the morning burning a plastic plate in the oven.
I predict the rest of my day will be so wonderful,
i feel a warm glow in the depths of my tummy.
Well that's that. Let me begin the actual entry.
There will be an absence of vibrant colours in our world, nothing but vapid black and white without creativity and a sense of imagination. This is just a random thought that crossed my mind while watching "The Used: Making The Video" on MTV yesterday night. The band incorporated movie themes like Moulin Rouge and Big Fish and also included weird animations in their video. I may not know much about The Used, considering how i have only heard "Blue & Yellow" [which is an awesome song by the ways] in my entire lifetime, but i can recognise creativity and a wonderful sense of imagination when i see it. What can i say, i am a fantasy child whose subconscious is constantly wandering in some fantasy land. Therefore if you see me stoning sometimes [most of the time actually], i am not in some orgasmic trance, i am simply lost in my own world of imagination. Well it depends actually. Hahahaha.
I have survived the gruelsome editing process, with the humble assistance of Editing Goddess Mavis, and buy-for-me-food slave, Julesie Julesie. One conclusion i can establish is that JAAME was too ambitious in attempting a horror film. Yes i sort of agree wit Mavis. It is not a short horror film. It is simply a film with a ghost inside. But to be more optimistic, i say we did a rather dandy job, considering how we lack the necessary skills, knowledge and mostly experience :)
Wit that in mind, i just have to say i take my Mass Comm education for granted sometimes. Movies play a huge role in my life. My love for movies is almost equivalent to my love for music. Maybe i have become jaded? HOPEFULLY NOT! I mean seriously. There i am learning about camera shots and lenses, lightings and generally everything else about the basics of film production. And we have even formed our own film production crews and actually wrote, produced and edited our films independantly. That is awesome. Mass Comm is simply awesome.

LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL pt I
Life has FINALLY permitted me to blog again, or rather, school project insanity has FINALLY subsidied and given me my life back. You have not the slightest clue how i've been ridiculously-itching to blog...to simply find an outlet and experience that joy of expressing the screwed-up thoughts in my head and the feelings in my heart...to feel that joy and satisfaction of sharing with Mrs. Bloggie and all of you how great, fucked up, or how demoralizing and depressing the past 24 hours had been for me. Yes i am a blogging junkie, and these are the withdrawal symptoms - felt like dying.
The last week of school was the most physically and mentally draining week of my life! Freak man, i swear im not exaggerating. Bauhaus is finally OVER! All those horrendous days of having to meet my Bauhaus group members at 8am every single bloody day is OVER! Premmy Baby, Aisyah, Zhixin - we literally worked our ass off for this bloody project. And even though we were 50 minutes late for the presentation and our ideas got slammed left right back and center, we should still give ourselves well-deserved pats on the back and be proud of ourselves! Its been an absolute pleasure working wit you guys, for we are the Fusionists! :)
The final assessed speech was AWESOME! Yes Gerri it is true. We made fantastic fool of ourselves in our respective dashing prince and princess costume, mounting on the carpet-laid table in a vain attempt to re-enact that magical carpet ride eternalised by Aladdin and Princess Jesmine as "A Whole New World" plays in the background. But you gotta admit, it was one hell of an attention getter baby! And do not worry, people did listen to our speech! 2 groups made references to the contents of our speech, and questions were formulated after that, so the class did listen! Aniways Gerri, its been awesome working wit you partner :)

END OF MY BITTERSWEET
FRESHMAN YEAR pt II
Time has a funny tendency of passing by in such a way that the next thing you know it is already the end of my 1st year in Mass Comm. So come and join me as i reflect on this roller-coaster ride i call -
The Past One Year Of My Life As A Mass Comm Freshman *sniff sniff*
I can vividly recall how full of trepidation i was when making that phonecall to find out if i passed the written test and made it to the next step of earning a place in Mass Comm. When i discovered i succeeded it was simply pure jubilation. The atrocious anxiety revisited me once again just before the interview. I remember how paranoid and over-prepared i was with my folder and that memorised script in my head. Cut me some slack pleaseee. Hahahaha. Then my heart dangerously-accelerated like some space rocket when i made that one last phonecall to determine if i made it into Mass Comm. When it was confirmed that i was one of the selected few, it was simply ecstasy. I was on a natural high for days :)
The clock ticks life away and i found myself playing moronic ice-breaker games wit my new poly tutorial mates - the people of T108/T103. I remember how out of place i felt in their presence. These strangers were giving me some seriously misleading impressions. I actually thought Lilynne was an ah lian. Tiffy fooled us all by pretending to be all innocent and demure. ZhiXin freaked me out because i thought she was a fierce anti-social.
But allow one year to pass t103, and lets marvel at how differently we perceived each other back then and how we perceive each other now :)
Lilynne turned out to be a highly-opinionated and intelligent individual. Eugene has established himself as a lame-ass constantly cracking sick jokes that is far from sexy and turning anyone on. ZhiXin may be angellic but underneath that quiet exterior she has a sense of humour and i have found a great fellow fan of animes in her. We both truly understand the characteristics of free-riders in Mass Comm the bad way. Let us hope we do not experience it more than twice yeh? Aisyah, you may be extremely small and petite, but you have showed us you are a chilli padi. Good things come in small packages they say.
And i can never forget my Ging Gang. I am not sure if we have officially broken up, but whatever the case Wei Shan will always be an innocent victim of my bloopers. My hands are never free when you're around aint it Wei Shan? Tim stop recording us. We are not your personal entertainers. Sarah smack him :)
SyaSya you minah, those "I Love Quick Boys" pants is not helping us destroy that perception we have of you. And shut up i am nobody's mat! Jemimah, i can guarantee you will always be a groupie of countless numbers of asian actors, and constantly reading books that beats around the stupid bush and leaves u literally breathless. Stay that way. Premmy Baby, thanks for wanting to marry me after you realised how hot i am capable of looking in formal clothes. You are not that bad-looking yourself. And do not hang on to worthless assholes...you know im referring to that 2-timing dick head . The bitch is gonna leave soon aniways so let him be. Tiffy, if you do not end up in my class next year i am gonna miss having someone to argue stupid shit wit. Stop eating so much lah you woman! hahahaha. Shuling, continue being "sizzling ice". hahahaha.
Eddy should remain a philosophical, geeky old soul. Giddy Boy should remain gloriously brainy and gifted in the designing crap arena. Gerri, should remain sweet, demure and intelligent. Lydia should remain a genuine nice :)
Hahahaha. Well i just want to thank all of you for colouring up the 1st year of my life as a mass comm freshman. Gonna miss the class of t108/t103 2004-2005 !!!

if there is a time for elegance,
this is not it
I think i have formed an emotional attachment wit the slateboard. Throughout the entire day i had this underlying itchy desire to rub off marker stains, re-write Shot, Scene and Take numbers, say them out by the order of the director, and slate the bloody board. It makes me feel useful and important even though im really not.
Filming our latest horror project was...due to the lack of a better word, draining. We filmed outside Splash at skool from 12-3pm, then headed off to Jules' place and continued filming all the way to 6 in the morning. Well this is the case for the rest of the guys, because my mama was being old-fashioned and disallowed me from spending the nite at her place. So i got my brother to fetch me and by about 1.40am i was on my way home. Hey if you guys actually read this miserable blog i wanna say im sorry aight! Don't pee me downnn prease.
Aniways i discovered a new anime which is really kinda cool.
Smokin Action + Hot Japanese Action Babes = arman like

just some weird random thoughts
Just another ordinary night of lonely seclusion.
You find yourself assuaging the restless heart,
Entertaining this beating bundle of muscles with tasty packages of depressing soul music.
She sings songs about your incomplete soul,
and her voice alone just leaves you sore.
Unceasingly pondering, pondering, and pondering...
Never-endingly questioning, questioning and questioning...
What a weird world you are living in.
What a weird life you are living.
When you finally take that last breath you ponder...
Will true happiness finally be in your grasp?
Will it finally befriend you?
Weirdddd
no need for pretences
