Mats & Chairs

I went down to Sinema Old School today to help out for their film festival. Initially, I was rather relunctant to go cos Liwei's not going with me. =( Anyway, I told myself that my word is my bond, so I booted myself out of the house and head down to Old School.

Boy, am I glad that I went down. Yeah, I was kinda friendless at first, then I met this really nice girl from RJC. Smart girl.

I was asked to take photos for the event, once again, it appeared to me that I have no talent in photo-taking. I took photos that will make Kenny Yong cry and chop me into a thousand pieces. Thank God I got through that and I took a dozen of presentable photos.

After the audience was settled in and all, I sat down to watch the screening. Honestly, I wanted to sleep when it started. The movie had no dialogue and no storyline. It was just footages of nature and human civilisation, accompanied with ethereal music. I was dying of boredom when all I was watching for 10minutes was naked tribal people dancing.

Amazingly, I got rather engrossed mid-way, because I kinda got the meaning behind all the footages and stuff. Modern humans behaving like robots, living perverse lives, upsetting the order of nature, that kind of stuff.

The cinematography was AWESOME. Really beautiful. And it had great camera work. Really worth watching (after you survive the first 20 minutes or so).

It was an outdoor screening.

Weiting (RJC girl) and me.

Blah. I am talking gibberish now.

A really good song to me, is one that can stir up a person's deepest emotions with its melody and lyrics. I love this song when I first heard it, and after I read the lyrics, i love it even more.

Pretty stuff that I spotted from this blogshop:

Yep! Go see go see!

Not on the list

I've seen this scenario repeating umpteen times on television.

Y'know, someone throws a party, she invites 'everyone' in the clique except one. The party-thrower is kinda trying her best to include everyone but she can't possibly invite everyone cos a function room can only hold so many people. The one who isn't invited will act oblivious to all the party talk, and try not to let leak that she isn't invited. Until, a charming dimwit asks her in her face whether is she going. At that moment, the poor one has to brace herself and say," I'm not invited."

For some weird reason, I am always the charming dimwit who asked the are-you-going-to-the-party question. And when the person replies that she isn't invited, I will feel like I'm given a

sacred task to get her invited. Okay, if the person who's not invited is a rotten celery then I wouldn't bother. But if the person is a really nice and deserves to be invited to any party, there I have it - I want her to go to the party too. Although, it's seriously none of my tofu business.

Perhaps, I feel bad for rubbing it into her face. Therefore, I want to make it up to her. But it's not up to me to make any decisions about this!

I know what's best. Keep my trap shut. Like really shut.

So...should I still try to get her invited?

I say that I heck care, that is a lie.

You know, many times, people tend to say that they don't care about their classmates, course-mates and the cool crowd in class/course (what a childish term, and cool doesn't mean I think they are cool, but I mean they are easily noticeable. Whatever, it hits the point), but actually they do care. I am one of them. I self-declare myself as a chicken. When I do something which earns a look of distain from one of the easily noticeable crowd, I would brush it aside and say I don't care. Honestly, I do give a dime or two about it.

Seriously, I find it hard to believe that there are people who don't give a quack about what others think about them. Fact of the matter, life is all about relationships. Even the seeming insignificant ones matter. Example: I buy chicken rice from an auntie, and she looks as though I just spit on her chickens. First thing that comes to mind: Why does she look so pissed?

1) I don't know her

2) I've never seen her before

Therefore, she looking like a pug shouldn't bother me! But why did a split-second though about surface in my mind? Reason being human relationships does matter.

This leads me to an atrocious thing I did today.

My group was supposed to edit our video today. Liwei and I happily went to the studio, only to find out that we (actually me) had forgotten to book an editing slot.

We desperately needed a suite and not just any other mac, because we had to digitize our tape. Thus, I solved the problem by going on bended knees (kidding) to beg one of my course-mates to allow us to use her editing suite while she goes to use another mac.

About 15min later, I walked out of the editing suite, only to find out that VIDEO EDITING SUITE 5 was not in used. I checked the book. A group had already booked it, but they weren't there.

There is a rule (in the student guide), if you are late for more than 15mins for your editing slot, your slot will be forfeited and will be open for other groups to use.

Were they late?

Yes.

More than 15min?

Yes. Actually about 45min.

Do I have the right to occupy the room since they weren't there?

Yes.

Then why do I feel so bad for what I've done?

About 1 hour, they turned up and peered into VIDEO EDITING SUITE 5.

I swear I wanted to stick my head into the ground if the ground is not made out of concrete and is carpeted.

And another point. That group is made of the easily noticeable people. Yes, I am a loser. My heart can only take so much. I have a dream - not to be noticeable so that I won't be a topic of discussion.

Seems like this dream of mine is evaporating. Unless, they weren't bothered by it because they know that it was their fault that they were late. What are the odds of that happening? I honestly don't know.

See, it is my fault for forgetting to book a suite. Yes, my bad. I will kick myself later.

So, it is my wrong to 'snatch' their editing suite away from them? Maybe, 'snatch' is too harsh a word. It is my wrong to procure their suite???

Crap.

Lena Park

The very first album i bought is Lena's Park Op4. I heard her song 'In Dreams' from her album's tv commercial. Though I only heard a few seconds of it, I love that song and went to buy the album. It cost $16.90, for a primary 4 student, it cost a lot.

Recently, she performed 'In Dreams' on television, and the clip was uploaded to youtube. She was phenomenal.

In Dreams - Lena Park


You Raised Me Up - Lena Park


She is fantastic.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I-I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

- Robert Frost

How do you use a reflector

12 pm in the day. Our butts were literally burning. Cheryl says we looked like Elves living under a mushroom. I couldn't stop laughing at her comment. This is what we learnt from school.

More photos up on facebook. YA! Speaking of the photos, I have no idea how is it possible, after all those hours under the sun, Cheryl and Liwei are still fair, whereas I'm officially part of the minority race. !@#$%^&*.
