-Weapon of Choice?-

Just watched Battle Royale, the Jap film abt a class being trapped on an island and the only way out is to kill each other until there is only one left. (Go wiki it) Anyway each person is given a random weapon. (Yay random) If I were in such a game, what would my weapon of choice be? a piece of TAUPOK! Eh dun laugh lah. Taupok has many uses, from being bait to slapping ppl to death. (List of uses here: LINK)

Ok but seriously, I would choose the shotgun. Massive damage. Sort of like a close combat 1 hit KO thing that does not get u dirty. Also the reloading sound *Chick-chiak* is so cool. One reload and the enemy will most likely run away (Unless he has a piece of taupok. JKJK) BATTLE ROYALE ROCKS!

BTW i had this funny convo with Jeremy (Mass com) on perfumes. Dunno whats so funny. Coconut Milk, Coconut Oil... whats the diff? Both smell the same =.=

[シャム] says:

the one at airport and the one at mustafar the same smell
smell like those stuff indians put on
he bought 3 bottles
one frm mustafar, one frm airport & one frm taka
other than the taka one, the rest got a hint of indian

Jeremy Toh says:

LOL

=x

[シャム] says:
erm...

Jeremy Toh says:

[シャム] says:

Jeremy Toh says:

hahahahah
what the fark, coconut milk!
LOL!

[シャム] says:

lol

Uses: "Although not suitable for use with condoms, coconut oil is an excellent, inexpensive lubricant for sexual intercourse"

Jeremy Toh says:
hahahaha
AHAHAHAHA WTF

So random. On another hand, I just installed my Hifi set in MY ROOM. Super powerful suround sound system. Now listening to some chinese song. Can't seem to understand the lyrics, I just like the rythem.

-Finally-

Woot I have finally finished the moving of house and 'organizing' the layout of my new room. Sooo tired that im not going to post today. Maybe later or tomorrow. Maybe.

Oh ya i was thinking of maybe moving to my wordpress blog. Maybe.

-Trust in the Lord with all your Heart-

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

I love that verse above, helps make random-ness something to be looking foward to.

Today I woke up and for some strange reason, thought I could leave the house at 9 so that i'll be on time for school (Trip takes 1hr). Standing at the bus stop, I looked at the time and paused for a moment. Class on monday starts at 9 right? I freaked out. As fast as I can, my eyes gave up on scanning for 154 and instead, a cab. Nice way to start off the 7% GST, with a cab ride.

Me: Uncle, Ngee Ann Poly
Uncle: Zai Tampanies arr? (At Tampanies issit?)
WTF?

The whole trip cost $10.60, 60 cents mainly due to the driver aimlessly driving around Jurong trying to figure out which road to take. In the end I directed him from Jurong, PIE and finally Bukit Timah Road.

Oh well, I was 23 mins late. (8 mins, if not counting the 15 mins grace period) Can't say its not my fault. Im still in holiday mood.

-Lazy lazy lazy-

Wow i've turned into a sloth, so this post shall be slothful as well.

TRANSFORMERS ROCKS!!! Whoever wants to watch it call me along. I want to watch it again.

A huge thanks for the people who helped do the survey. It really helped alot. THANKS!!! (Do note that the survey is actually a last minute assignment so sorry for spamming u guys)

Yes the FMS mass convo was my accident. Im sorry. Stupid "Mass PM feature" actually adds everyone into a mass convo. Nvm, my dream for inter FMS bonding came true for 5 minutes. (BTW i did not start the convo. Tok to me on msn for more details)

What a mac needs = TENDER LOVING CARE, and thats what im giving it. I don't need RAM. (Cool my macbook turned into a smackbook for a day. No wonder it lagged on me during the rushing of my podcast)

YAY FIRST WEEK OF TERM 2!!! Im already dead in assignments. A big thanks to those who help give me support.

-Oops my blog almost dieded-

Yesterday I went back to Yuan Ching for an Alumni high tea and meeting. Walked there with Fern and Mingest and talked about Ngee Ann and sch life on the way. At the same time I took my Handycam and filmed our journy to school (again). When we entered the sch, we met the e1 and e2 gang. Took a few photos and talked about stuff that happen in school. Later we went to the canteen to have the 'High tea'. Most of us were expecting some buffet or something 'high' (Duh its called HIGH tea) but sadly, it turned out to be small snacks and drinks were diluted scouts syrup. Brings back lots of memories, the syrup. (It still tasted like water)

At the 'High' tea I met lots of ex-YCSS seniors, some even had grey hair! The high tea supposed to last till 5, but after walking around the school compound and a few more photos, we left at 2. The atmosphere there was really divided, mostly due to a large generation gap. Fern, Ming and I waited outside the sch for Kang, Shawn and Jeff. Together we went to JP and ate lunch. Talked alot and shared lots of stuff about JC and Poly. Makes me kinda regret not going to JC, kinda. After lunch we went to Toys'r'us and talked alot about our sec life and ex classmates. After Toys'r'us went to kiddy palace. (Ya we are still kids -.-) Sigh I miss sec sch life.

School is startin tomorrow and im not really happy to say that I like going back. Yes FSV is fun, but the first week of school means only one thing: The rushing of assignments meant to be done during the holiday. Can't really say that I've done all of my assignments, but at least I attempted a few.

(Will post photos later. Now im just too lazy)

-Major Update-

EDIT: Mac has a problem in flipping images. To see clearly, pls rotate ur head or ur monitor.

Yes I know I have not updated for 1 week, but no I have not gone overseas like SOME lucky ppl. Instead, I have been packing my room cos im moving house. YES IM MOVING HOUSE! Any guess where? Two floors up. Yes its nothing much, but cos the house above has an extra room. Yay im finally getting a room of my own.

Yesterday I finally went back to church (3 weeks alr) instead of Mediacorp and wow, the church building looked so much better, with new curtains and a new set of paint. Quite nice really.

The reason why I did not attend for the last day for the Live the Dream auditions @ Mediacorp cos it was really boring there. (Except for meeting Utt in person. It turns out he is really a nice guy even behind the scenes. Oh btw, im taller than him ^^) At Mediacorp, we were so bored that Adrain and I filmed a little walkthrough around Mediacorp with his handphone. (We are FSV ppl!) If you want to see it ask Adrain or me. (We can't post it on Youtube due to security purposes)

We were so bored that we actually sat in one of their many meeting rooms and watched TV. Apprently their TV is special. There were Taiwan Channels, Japan Channels and a Australlia Channel. They even have their internal channel where we can actually watch the Mediacorp ppl filming in progress. At that time we could see the filming for the show: Kinship (Debuts 19 June, Chn 8) It was sad to see the same scene being filmed again and again just because Elvin's facial expression is wrong, Xiang Yu's eagle claw attack is wrong and some forgot their lines (its in chinese, can't blame them)

Bahh better start going back to packing. I cleared my posters and books but my table is like always; In a mess. (B4 and After)

-Let's Live The Dream!-

Sorry for not updating my blog this few days. Was busy during the weekend with the Live the Dreams audition. Had to skip church on sunday for that. Wish I had taken half days off and gone to church... Everyone in church knew I was missing. Feel so bad.

Anyway for those of you who don't know what Live the Dream is, is something like Singapore Idol but for age 25 - 75. During the two days of audition, I was an usher, registration officer, tagger (we gave the contestants their number), bouncer and the most glamourous job... SAI KANG!

Hmm Mediacorp just called me, asking for me 'services' (More like free labour) at the Mediacorp studio. THE MEDIACORP STUDIOS! I was so happy that i argeed, only to find out later that it is on a sunday (Im gonna miss church again) and I don't have a clue where it is. Glad some peeps from T1B1 are also being called upon. Maybe can just follow in their shadows? JkJk.

This whole week was really like a holiday to me. I don't have to go to sch on Wednesday due to "Common Test Week" thus my Tuesday and Wednesday is freed. And on Wednesday night Ms Mel emailed us to inform us that she had MC for thursday so class is cancelled. Yay? Sadly not. Apprently my brothers are also having school holidays so my holidays are spent shouting at them and being irritated by them. Tsk blocking them on msn is not enough.

Bahh gotta go finish up my Storytelling blog. Everything is due tomorrow an i've done 60%. (I just realised that today)

2007-06-02T00:23:00.000+08:00

Edit: Its just some people that make me think its the whole class. Sorry.

-At Semester's End-

The semester is coming to an end, and I must choose my alliance. Should I go for marks or for friendship?

First of the alliance is my class, T1B1. Fated to be stuck with them for the next 2 years in FSV, I will have to work with them, for marks sake. There is a sense of Jealously and Pride in this bitter power struggle. People who hate mass commers, some of them hate my connections with the outside world. This alliance is filled with stonners, who can never understand the meaning of entu-ism (The ways of being entu). Like an orange in a sea of apples, I am currently just going with the flow, pretending to be a stone. But I am not alone in this alliance. Some are actually really friendly, but sadly this is the minority. For marks sake I guess.

Second alliance is with T1B1's rival class, T1B2. Total opposite of T1B1, these ppl are really filled with the entu spirit (Which T1B1 can never understand). It is these FSV people that actually provide the light at the end of the tunnel. This is where friendship and marks combine, where entu unites people. Count it my luck to be able to work with them for IS Issues and IAC. With such class bonds and spirit, Even I get jealous.

Last alliance is T1B1's worst enemies, Mass Commers. But not any mass commers, but the ones from the "Night trail gang." These people are like a well balanced meal of friends, from the hyper entu Jeremy, uber friendly Joshua (Tan), easy going Yichee and emo 大姐大 Chelmin. People I can count on. 95% Class (Mass Com) and 5% Spice (FSV), FMS courses hath no boundaries. This group is a living example of FMS unity. Even though im not in any of the same class, (HELLO! IM IN FSV) randomness always lets us meet in campus, and if the chance is right (Wednesdays) we'll eat together. Yay for FMS bonding.

With the 3 alliance pulling its bonds on me on all 3 different directions, where does my loyality lie? For now I am like an ambassador within FMS, bridging the gap between classes and courses (And it does not help that T1B1 is the bitchest class in FMS. Not my fault). There will always this regret of why I did not choose Mass Com, but maybe it's God's will for me to give the stonners life or maybe to stop the conflict between FSV and Mass Com. Am i the only one in this quest for righteousness? Its like a racial riot in FMS, and am I the only one that is colour blind?

-Tuesdays, Love it or hate it-

Ahh Tuesdays have finally come again. That means no school, and that I can sleep till 9. Also the only time it seems im really free enough to blog. EDIT: Bahh I just received an email saying I have to go submit the hardcopy of the IS Issues homework by TODAY. Sian... Looks like I'll have to stop by school later. So inconvenient.

Yesterday I learnt that "Experimental film" is just an excuse of a film that does not make sense, a random film left for people to praise. Example would be someone were to randomly film stuff without any motive, pass it off as an experimental film, in class the lecturer will say: "So-and-so has highlighted the importance of the elements surrounding us. This is a good experimental film." LOL I bet even the director did not think that far.

On saturday I went with my family to my step-cousin's wedding. Not related to me by blood, but I was dragged along by my parents, who said we must give face to our uncle who invited us. I bet its because of the buffet dinner. The wedding was held at Fort Canning Park, a large patch of grass just above the fort. Surprisingly the seats area were not sheltered, and when I ask my aunt, she said I had little faith. We should respect God's works and have shelter so as not to trouble God to hold the rain. =.= Oh well, me of little faith.

Since I have (NOT) so much time on my hands, I'll go do a 20 qns friends quiz. I am now convinced a pet rock is the best option for me (NOT) and no my fav number is NOT 7. Yes I design acrylic:

-Life can be so random-

Yesterday was a really stressful friday. First of all, during the Storytelling class break, we (T1B1) decided to buy Macdonalds. For me, even though I hate the food rationing from Macdonalds, decided to try the Grilled Teppanyaki Burger Shrek 3 set (Even though Jap theme has nothing to do with Shrek 3) to see if it has changed. If any of you can remember, they used to sell a burger quite similar to the Grilled Teppanyaki Burger. Revival of an old burger but this time under the Shrek 3 name? Maybe.

Well we told to MacDelivery to deliver at 12.15, just after our class. By 12.30, the guy had not arrived. Met Jeremy and Peici while waiting. Then out of no where, a taxi pulled over infront of the FMS block and OUT CAME THE DELIVERY GUY! Wow Macdelivery must be earning lots, using taxi drivers as GPS navigtion systems. With 15 mins left, we rushed through our lunch. The Grilled Teppanyaki Burger is quite good really, except for the fact that ITS SO SMALL! I give it 3/5, Worth a try but not worth the cost.

It was after eating that I realised that I left my ART folio in Storytelling class. Rushing to Ms Wendy (lvl 3), I told her my sitution and she was nice enougth to allow me to retrive it. Rushing to the lift, I met a few T1B2 ppl. In a rush, I decided to take the lift down and up again. Coincidently met Chel in the lift. At lvl 1, sh went out and in came Mr Siew. Haha already late for class and still can meet ppl. Finally at lvl 7, I rushed to the class and the T1B2 ppl were very kind, one even helped to pick the folio from the floor. Yes, THANK YOU T1B2. In the end I managed to reach Art class before 3.15.

For photography, we were to do take photos on people. The toughest workshop yet! Some photos I managed to take behind people's backs. But through some divine intervention, I met lots of ppl I knew today and that made my job alot easier. I met Ming, YiChee, Hui Ting, Jarrel, Issac, Valerie, Joshua S., Joshua T., Justin and Vignesh. Spammed a few photos on some of them. Then when time was going to be up, Jonathan, Kelvin and I decided to head back to FMS blk. I still left one portrait photo and lots of lighting photos. Then out of no where, my friend noticed Chel was walking behind. In exchange for chocolate (Standard currency for females), managed to finish up my last portrait shot. Then when we were heading back, I met Mingest again! This time, managed to take a shot for "People at ease". In the end I spammed the last few shots on Mr Douglas Kwon.

Wahh today met so many ppls. God must have had a hand in this. Also im cured by my friendship blues. Now I realised how many friends I have in campus I can rely on, and many more outside campus. So what if T1B1 is the bitchest class? It's only for 1 semester (I hope).

Ahh I would like to thank you for reading my long and lor-suo post. Here is your reward. A shot film by me on YCSS's DM Mr. Hon. Enjoy. (Yes I manage to make it, one day after I got back the DV cable)

-Card Stacking is fun-

Haha I just found something fun: Card Stacking. Ever since the Trybe facilitator training had a card stacking game, i've somewhat become addicted to it. Here is one I did before dinner, and after dinner.

There is something that is bugging me since yesterday, Friendship. Apprently the Friends test i've posted here came back with shocking results. Apprently on average, YCSS ppl knows 60% of me, FMS ppl knows 50% of me and primary sch friends who I have not met for years SCORED THE BEST (70%)! Arr im so ashamed... YCSS ppl we close for 4 years and u guys score a 60%? I was expecting a 90%. Even FMS ppl who I met for 1 month score a decent 50%. Xians... Maybe I'll do a 20 qns one this time just to be more accurate.

(Haha Chen just send me this old pic. Brings back memories)

Because of this thing, today morning I woke up in a bad mood, added on by class at 8. I tried to JUICE (Join Us In Creating Entertainment) up and managed to keep a positive attitude during Studio Production. This time I was assigned Director. Quite alright, really. The only stressful thing was that you have to shout standby cam, check the cam focus and angle, and finally take the video shots all under 10 seconds. I personally found it fun. Too bad it was a restricted directing.

I was tired from Studio Production and decided to take a walk with Kelvin and Jonathan to the atrium. Met Chel in the smoothee shop and finally got to repay her the chocolate I owe, in the form of a smoothee. Glad i no longer owe ppl stuff as I don't like to keep a debt (homework does not count). Ooh just remembered Shawn still owes me $25. Anyways was so tired I did not want to eat nor drink anything. But due to peer pressure, I got myself a smoothee and a food thing. I wish I had not. Read on.

The next class was Intro to film. I was SOOO sleepy. The smoothee and the comfortable theatre seats added on to my fatique. OK! Must endure. During one of the short films about Singapore graves, I FELL ASLEEP! Ahh first time I fell asleep in class. Ok it was hard to pay attenttion to the film. First, it was dark and second, it was in chinese so I can't close my eyes and listen. Yes I slept (It turns out so did the guys), and Ms Mel noticed. Lucky she allowed us to go out of the class to buy coffee. What a taxing day.

-Time is of the essence-

Phew now I have time to update this blog. I just finished a blog post for my assignments at my alter-ego (And better english) blog site: http://peanutbutterjames.wordpress.com/ I did a topic on the shrinking of McDonald's burgers there. Go check it out.

Today morning at 7.30, I met Fernando, Rachel, Amanda, Joycelyn and Vee Sheng at YCSS bustop outside. What were we doing so early in the morning? Well as usual my purpose was filming, but the true goal here was to give a cake (that rachel bought last minute) to Mr Hon, as he is leaving YCSS to be a Vice Principal in a primary school. Sad moment sia.... Anyways, when we entered the school, morning assembly had already started and as all the paths leading to the DnT Block can been seen by the entire school, we as a gang tried to walk quietly into the school from the side, but for some (OBVIOUS) reason, a few teachers noticed us. Stopping halfway and hiding behind one teacher's car, we slowly discussed as to what to do. The plan was simple. Quietly walk a group to the DnT block as though nothing happened. As I was holding the cake, I stood up and walked first, without looking back. Once I reached the side of the DnT block which can't be seen by the school, I turned back in horror to find the rest still hiding behind the car, stoning there. Pang Seh Kias

Anyway the thing went smoothly when assembly was over (They finally got the guts to move). Cookies and Cream cake was sooooo nice that im not reviewing it (also b'cause im lazy). Went for IS classes later and did my 800 - 1000 test essay. Surprisingly, I did not really refer much to the internet, just relying on my pure inspired words (If Turnitin says I was plagerizing im gonna say its others that plagerize me instead, and im the original source) After IS Issues I went to eat lunch with Yichee, Joshua T. and Jeremy. My true friends in FMS. Made me think about friendship. After IAC class I went to the library with Joshua S., Nurreen and Pamela. There they talked about class bonding and friendship. Made me think deeper. Im not gonna say why, but because of this topic on friendship, when I was playing Avril Lavigne - Keep Holding On, I really felt like crying. Bahh im starting to feel the same way now... Not gonna say what made me sad on this blog. If you wanna know more pls msn me. This is not the right place.

Ahh Pictures! Now addicted to card stacks... Yup its done by me.

(Done by HWSS girls and me during the Trybe session)

Me solo

-My Savior-

(Shot taken during Photography class. Cool right?)

Nescafe has been my number 2 savior throughout this week, keeping me awake for my tutorials. (1st is Jeasus, no fight there) With major stuff like the crapboard and the written report for the podtard, my day light saving hour has been increased up to the point where now I usually sleep at 2. Bahh I don't even have time to update this blog.

Last night for SgNewWave I watched the Hong Kong film, Exiled. Mass Commers Jarrel and Joshua (Tan) joins us for the first time! Good thing they came for the 2nd screening and not the 1st. The 1st screening was really crap. Refering to my past rating for that, I gave that a 1/10. For this Exiled, a movie on gansterism in Hong Kong and how 5 brothers support themselves when 4 were ordered to kill one of the brothers. The sequence is so good and the fighting so cool that I give this film a 8.5/10. 1.5 short of the golden glory because of the blood splatter being a mist and cos the plot is driven by 'coincidence'. I recommend anyone who is not living under a rock to go watch it.

After the screening, Joshua and I decided to tag along with Jarrel to KFC, where he is meeting his friends. At KFC, I introduced a stress busting game (Mac) to Joshua. I wish I had not. Now Joshua is addicted to the game. Hope he plays in moderation.

Im so looking foward to joining FMS Society. Im now looking towards that to be my main source for cca points. Hmm the BAs and CHMs have recuitings... I hope FMS have their recuitment soon.

-God heals my nostalgia-

After my really depressed post, God has read my blog and given me a balance of good O' Friends to heal my increasing levels of nostalgia. Such a balanced example would be the people I meet on campus. Just today morning I met Jonstance (FMS) and How Kiat (YCSS), and in the afternoon Illias (YCSS) and Chel (FMS). Such a balanced diet. Also for events, yesterday was Rachel's party (YCSS) and today, went filming with Jeremy and Joshua (FMS). If I keep this going, im going to loose weight (aka nostalgia). Anyways, to remember such joyous occasions, lots of pictures have been taken too.

-Rachel's Party @ Shangri la Hotel (Full Album)

-Filming @ some ulu location

Bahh I have so many assignments to do. Don't talk to me about them. Lalala~ Im not listening...

2007-05-15T09:21:00.000+08:00

-Will the assignment ever stop?-

One month has passed since i've entered FSV and the assignments never seem to stop. Now currently I have 3 projects coming up. I have IS module, doing research on teens, Photography, taking photos on Nature VS Man made and finally Studio Production, doing an interview and demo show. Ahh the stress.

It also does not help that the studio production team, aka my class, is doing NO discussions whatsoever. Stuck between a rock and a hard place? Hmm maybe. My role in it are Cameraman, Liason Officer and Assistant Producer. All I have to do is to follow others orders. Not bad, considering that NOBODY IS GIVING ORDERS! The only 'order' i've been given is to find female hosts for the shows. Seems simple enough, except WHAT KIND OF TOPIC ARE WE DOING? Sheesh... you can't expect me to find a emo dressed girl if we are to do about the topic of ice cream. Sigh.... sometimes the things my class do, gives me nostalgia for sec school and FMS FOC. Man i miss you guys. We should go hang out someday.

Sigh yesterday some divine intervention helped abit of my nostalgia. First during class Jeremy Toh sms-ed me to join for lunch. Too bad my lunch is earlier than them... After school at the computer center, I met chel. Sigh, 2 points for FMS FOC. Then when im waiting at the bus stop for 154, who was to go take the same bus than Macy and Ryan. (Also noticed usha but nvr go sae hi) Lol one from 4E1, one from 4E3. 2 points to YCSS too... On the bus, who was to call but Rachel. Sigh got hit face first by nostalgia again. she was mentioning abt birthday party today. Sign meeting up with YCSS peeps. Hope this will cure my nostalgia.

Hmmm I just noticed im CCA-less... Ambassador interview got rejected. As expected. Also can't get much from SGNewWave as I don't usually write reviews. Now im hoping for FMS Society. I'll maybe join the new shooting club next sem. Now i'll try to help a few guys from around Ngee Ann and form a Billard Club. This is SERIOUSLY the only sport I truly like (Playing in aircon ^^) and I wanna see this formed asap to rescue my CCA points. Pls help support by going on the NP Forums and clicking on 'WCRC Tournament' or the 'Pool CLub?' (Oh BTW im classified under mcm, not fsv. Weirdness)

Sigh. Now I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. My CCA is so screwed. So what if there is 100+ CCAs? None appeal to me. Bahh i miss YCSS IT club. AVA in sec school is so fun. Now AVA stuff in NP is done by Radio HeatWave ppl. Sheesh I DJ tracks, not radio DJ. No point in me joining RadioHeatwave. Sigh Ambassador oso denied. KNN AMBASSADOR DENIED. Wah lau eh sia.... I was hoping for ambassadors to push my CCA grades up. Hmm I must go see a CCA advisor soon.

-Coffee served bitter-

Ahh woke up at 6... soo sleepy. 7.30, Met Vege at Jurong East and together we went to the Trybe center in Tampines. Ahh why are we going to the Trybe center soo early in the morning? Its due to this Dare to Dream Training to train us to teach others. I think this is the only thing worth missing the weekend morning for. Dare to dream is a programme that helps highlight a few of the many talents in a person and help him/ her in becoming a better person. Something like a motivational talk, except this really boosts ur selfesteem and is not boring. Really looking forward to teaching others on the 22 of May.

Ahh as about the previous post, during photography class my mom just randomly called me and told me she bought tickets to Spider-Man 3. Total randomness. (BTW abt photography, sry chel for wasting ur time) So the movie was at 9.30 and ended at 12+. Overall, the movie plot was alright and the CG was cool. The only part I didn't like about it was the camera pans and the totally random way of the black goo landing near Peter Parker. Other than that its not too bad... I give this 7/10

Hmm now im feeling mixed between sleepy and awake. The coffee at the Trybe center tasted soo weird (Probably it was the creamer. I demand milk grawr...) and was very acidy. Kept me awake the whole day but made me look like I was on drugs. Bahh I need sleep.

Oh I just remembered. I totally forgot to by flowers for tomorrow (Mothers Day). Ahh I'll think of sumthing.

2007-05-12T01:05:00.000+08:00

-Bah its 1.05 a.m.-

Ahh tomorrow is a saturday, and when everyone is enjoying their weekend (AKA sleeping till 12), I have to go to Tampines for a Trybe refresher course and discuss with my assist director abt Project: Memories. Argg I should be asleep by now! The thing starts at 9 and thus I have to wake up at 6. Hmm maybe I'll finish this post on the train tmr (Oops TODAY). But meanwhile, here is some pics from today. Go figure out what happened today before I repost this.

Have Fun!

-FREEDOM!-

Haha finally finished with my podcast and presented it today! Seriously dieded (Ppl's podcasts were 5-8 mins, mine was 2:30 mins) BUT I DON'T CARE ANYMORE! Finally got the thing off my chest.

The funny thing about intro to film is that although the lesson is fun and intresting (except stuff about Hitchcock), nobody seems to like the assignments. Like for example is the discussion board for "The Usual Suspect." Even though everyone liked the film, NO ONE did their discussion for the first 2 days. (even though its due 3 days after the screening, a.k.a. TODAY) Only yesterday did some posted, but cos i plan to go in at night and 'examine' the other's postings, MEL WENT DOWN! It was down even until i went to bed. Luckly i managed to 'bia' my work during studio prod break.

Another thing i dieded today was NP ambassador interview. The interviewer asked me my worse question: "Tell me more about yourself"
As a typical Singaporean, i don't know why but it is instinct to be humble when it comes to yourself. Thus dieded a second time in the same day.

Well, if randomness delivers death, random delivers friends! Today when im going to NP, I saw Jeffery, Majjetta (Crap i forgot how to spell her name!) and Joyce going to JC. They look so sian... i guess this is what JC life does to you. Then after NP classes, I saw Faizal and Uzair. They look crazyer then usual.... i guess this is what poly life does to you.

Polytechnic is like sec sch to me, except meeting LOTS of different types of ppl. I have made best friends and class bonded this quickly. Oops too quickly. Now for studio production im assigned under assistant producer and Liason Officer, the producer's sai kang and the ppl searcher. Oh well, at least im not a clapperboy. BUT KNN WHAT HAPPENED TO DEMOCRACY? Where is my voting rights? Oh well, like I said, at least im not a clapperboy so i should be happy.

During Studio Prod the lights just randomly went on and off, bright and dim. Looks like the studio may be haunted.

Waiting outside before Intro to Film class aka my D Day

-Argg my arm STILL hurts-

...But not too bad as yesterday. Now have no problem opening the coin pocket in my wallet, but opening the fridge door is too painful. The worse is bathing. Go and try one handed bathing. I think the hair left side of my head is dryer than those on the right.

But luckly its not too painful to type using two hands. Today I managed to finish my blog post for Storytelling (http://peanutbutterjames.wordpress.com/) and 70% of my podcast. Don't get me wrong, its not that i don't wanna finish my postcast, its just that i can't find much pictures on the internet thus im going to rip it out of the DVD tomorrow.

Argg I just felt another sharp pain... Just now i forgot and stretched my arm. It is a good habit to stretch now and then after excessive typing but not when ur hand is injured. Hmm i still dunno what is wrong with it. As it seems to be getting better, Im just gonna let it heal by this friday. After that if the pain is still there, I may have to go get an Xray.

Hmm tomorrow is IS day, maybe going to 'Stalk' ppl for my storytelling module. Ok not really stalk, but just to watch and observe 2 ppl. Another cool assignment from a cool lecturer. I wonder what the next one will be... Show and Tell? Haha we may never know...

Im feeling like doing Ms Mel's assignment on the film 'The Usual Suspects' A really nice film, filled with suspence and all... but dunno why no one has submited their assignments yet. Im gonna wait until tmr and see how others format their answers :P. Naaa im just too lazy!

Anyone wanna stalk with me tomorrow? Im planning to stalk after 3. SMS me bfore that. Remember to bring binoculars or telephonic lens! Haha jkjk.

Sorry no photos today. I was all cramped up at home. Promise there will be photos tmr okay? Bahh I have nothing better to do right now... So maybe im gonna sleep. YES SLEEP BEFORE 10! Will call a McDelivery for a cup of McCafe cappuccino first thing in the morning. If the steamed milk is cold by the time it gets to me, im so gonna demand a refund.

EDIT: Due to Terms & Conditions, forget it lah... not worth to buy a cappuccino at $5+. Apprently there is a $2 surcharge for every delivery order and Minimum order of $18 applies for Jurong Industrial Area, Changi/Loyang. I thought they were boasting "No minumium order." Haha I like the last term: Vanilla Cones are not delivered as the nature of the product does not allow it to travel well. The "Nature" means that it is too cheap to deliever. $2.50 for the delivery of a vanilla cone? I like to see them try.

-Wahh my left hand hurts-

Today I have experienced life of a handicapped person, and boy it is tough! I can't even open my coin pocket in my wallet without experiencing immense pain. Maybe its due to me sleeping on the wrong side of bed? I seriously dunno. But what i do know is that my left arm maybe immobilized for a few days. Tmr if its still in pain im gonna have to get the arm sling.

On a brighter note, just now during Intro to film we watched 'The Usual Suspects'. A really nice show, something like Ocean 11 but OLDER and less effecty. Amazing film for a low budget one. (2 mil if im not wrong) I give this 7/10 (3 points minus due to complexity)

Argg its painful to type with one hand... Gonna post pictures. A picture speaks a thousand words so pls take that as my blog post. WTF? I got this msg when trying to post.... apprently when I re-entered blogger.com i also got the same error msg. It looks like something out of iRobot. Google taking over the world? Lol maybe...

Edit: Finally working... Now to add on to the pics im gonna post a screenshot of the error msg.

Crazy MCM ppl going to Poly in their sch uniforms. At least Joshua has a cool uni.... YCSS uni is CRAP!

Quest for the dounut!

My favourite cup. To type this post out I made my own Latte using Vietnamese Coffee Beans and the Viet way of making coffee. Verryyy Niccceeeee

Oh yea when im free, im going to do a food review section in my blog. My love for good food will never die.

-Empire of the Jam-

Blog Skin title: Empire of the Jam
Author: Jam Studios
Works Best With: IE7, Firefox and Safari

Finally finish with the layout of the blog. I personally made the background to give off a clapperboard theme. Also, I have done away with the laggy and useless tagboard and reverted back to cbox. (Do note that I re-used the one from my old blog and im too lazy to delete the old tags) I also replaced the welcome page with my blog page, thus saving the trouble of clicking on the links to read my blog.

Hmmm I think im procrastinating for my podcast... I seriously don't wanna do it. Im alright with presentations but podcast is not my thing (My voice does not deserve to be on air!). Stupid fad on podcasting, stupid Apple supporting podcasting...
Argg!!! Enuf on podcasts!!! Okies ive decided. Since I can't do it tomorrow and monday I might be too busy, Tuesday im going to do my podcast! Everyone pls help me keep this commitment!

Speaking of tomorrow, its my turn to do scripture reading. Normally I would like to read scriptures infront of the entire church but... usually on average scripture reading would be reading on a topic in a bible, which usually would last for around 15 verses, I GOT A 21 VERSERS ONE! Usually I won't complain but THE VERSES ARE SO LONG AND IM USING A KING JAMES VERSION! Im so scared im going to pronounce it all wrongly. There should be a Singlish version.... Take a look at my verses: Eph 5:1-21 (NKJV) It is just like all the V words in V for Vendetta.

Hmm this afternoon I ate at KFC to try out the Cheesy BBQ Meltz. Think of Cheese Nachos, pizza and KFC Popcorn chicken wrapped in a Roti Prata. That is what the Meltz is. Warning! For Cheese Nacho lovers only. If you don't like Nachos, the is going to be a waste of money as the nacho taste is strong but very little meat portions. But its worth trying once. U'll either like it or avoid it. I give this a 7/10

Another thing I noticed is their salad. Nicely put in a plastic container, the salad is nice and refreshing, apart from all the meat in KFC. (Like duh... they even have the word 'Chicken' in the Fast Food name) If im not wrong, the salad is the only thing that is not fattening (unless u put the thousand island dressing). If im not wrong, i may be addicted to it already. (8/10)

Speaking of addiction, I think I have rid myself of Lattes and have moved on to Cappuccinos. With a stronger shot of espresso and a hard to make 1cm thick layer of steammed foam milk, I may have found my one true love in coffee. Now the only thing left to do is to try Starbucks, CB&TL and TCC cappucino. It is a quest for the holy grail!

Randomness has touched my life again. First, at 11.59 pm on Thursday, Joshua S. called and ask about the homework due Friday. Go figures. Secondly, on Friday, during the Ambassadors interview thing, guess who I met then Vignesh and the guy from Red Camp. Thridly, when I thought I was going to eat dinner alone (It sucks eating alone), Joshua T. decided to eat Mac with me. THANK YOU JOSHUA!

Sigh... Im starting to love this new skin. COS I MADE IT! HAHAHAHA! Just joking. Its nice, but i've seen better...

2007-05-03T19:49:00.000+08:00

-A New Hope-

Haha I finally finished all 4 assignments and watched the film im supposed to do a podcast on. The film is "He love me, he loves me not", the best film I've seen for Intro to film (so far). I am not going to spoil about the movie, but I strongly advice EVERYONE who is reading this post to watch the movie. It is in the NP library. If anyone wants to watch it, call me along! (I know where it is located :D) I seriously want to watch it again. I give a rating 9.5/10! (0.5 short because it is in french XD)

It seems that copying homework in sec school (for 4 years LOL) has really thought me lots on homework management. With this skills bundled with me (Buy 1 get 1 free) I chiong all my assignments yesterday and today. Don't think I neglected my blog, its just because I was stressed out (Yes the calm jAM can get stressed)

Today I ate at the Alumni Building AGAIN (4 times total). This time I tried their Katsu-don (Halal). SERIOUSLY DELICOUS! Worth the $4 spent. Canteen 1's is NOTHING compared to this. I give this a 7/10 overall, 9/10 for food in NP! (Japan's katsu-don is still the best)

And YES! Photos! Now with more time on my hands, more photos! (Oh yea I have not named by phone... any ideas?)

Lights!

Camera!

Action!

Not forgetting our lecturer, all the way from Korea, Mr Douglas Kwon!

Yup all these were taken in the studio. Man I love that place... Oh yup Ambassador's Interview tomorrow! Wish me luck in 'tar-han'ing their lame games!!! XDXDXD

BTW new blog skin underway... Man it will take time to redesign a new one.

2007-05-01T00:09:00.000+08:00

-Just trying to survive-

Fernando just told me on msn; "wa lao u everytyme slp so late" Everytime sleep so late huh? I just realised that maybe something else is acting as my caffine. For me, Caffine = Mass Con

Nono I did not spell mass com wrongly, I am talking about Msn Mass Convos, where different groups of people chat about... NOTHING. Maybe its due to people needs affection from one another (Giving out FREE hugs! Anyone?) or just need to release to the public who likes who, I am always dragged into this kind of convos. Hmm... now my average of mass convos at one time in one day is 3. Yes 3 mass convos at once, spanning from 7pm-1am. Each with around 5-9 ppl in it, it always seems that it will never end.

DON'T THIS PEOPLE HAVE TO SLEEP? Lucky for me, I open my msn in my Windows laptop (It has no name... yet) and watch season 2 of prison break on PeanutButter. So most of the times whn I see meaningless topics in the convo that looks alot like gossip, instant mute. Only ppl who deserves my attention will get it. Im ok with gossip in a 1-3 convo but 9 ppl??!!?? Man I don't wanna know what u guys are talking about.

Woot just finished season 2 of prison break. Why do I have so much time on my hands you might ask? I don't. I have lots of assignments for this week. LOTS. 2 by Wed, 1 by thurs, 2 by friday and one really stupid podcast by this sunday. Ok I really have no intention of doing any of it right now. If im in no mood, won't my work be a load of junk? Maybe I can do it during labour Day.This might seem weird but I don't like this holiday. First of all, Tuesdays I have no school. Second, I can do my work peacefully without my bros disturbing me. Third, its a holiday for everyone, meaning my bros will be at home and I won't get the peace to do my assignments. Oh well, I must push foward!

Oh yea if i have time i'll design a new blog skin and convert my tagboard to Cbox. Apprently my blog is best viewed in IExplorer and tagboard best posted in Safari. If I have time, that is.

2007-04-28T09:47:00.000+08:00

-Saturday has come again-

Yup today is saturday so it means NO SCHOOL!!! Its not that I don't like poly life, its just that it is very taxing. Week 2 has passed and within this 2 weeks, I have watched: The Shinning, Shadow of a Doubt, Wizard of Oz, V for Vendetta and lots of short films, animations and Korean MTVs. Out of all the movies I watched since I entered FSV, the one that sucked the most was last night's film.

Last night was the first SgNewWave meeting. Not bad on a whole, met Eugene, Lavanya, Kane and Ben. It was only the movie screening that sucked really badly. It was picked by a guy that went to the Berlin Film Festival. Supposed to be the opening film for the festival, I thought this might be quite good to be an opening film but NO! The film was draggy and so slow that even Shadow of a doubt (Black & White) can kick butt anytime. The film, about two kids who gets abandoned in a field by their stepmother and goes on a journey back home, has a really good plot. Pity the director wasted such a good plot.

What was even worse was that when some guy found the kids and wanted to bring them to their parents, the kids, like what they did to their stepmother, pissed the guy so much that he abandoned thm in the middle of the road. The ending was the worse I have ever seen. After the guy abandons the kids, they walk down the road and until out of sight (2-3mins) an it ends when their gone. Waste of 3 mins worth of film.

I believe that this movie has a hidden message: Film Festivals can get boring. If this was only the opening, what about the rest? Bad sheep spoil the flock.

I give this film a rating 1/10. Total waste of time.

Something nicer than the film, here is the pics of the week:

-I have to do an assignment for photography during the weekend so here is the sch cam and my bag.

-During Art class we did a grid drawing. I did the Face!

-Our leader at work on the final grid.

-Everyone enjoying the sight of the combined work.

-During my grandmother's b'day. My brothers, Cousin and I.

Oh yea even until now, im sooooooo jealous for Mass Com ppl.... they get to do location video now... I so want to do it! As usual this makes me wonder why I choose FSV over MCM. Argg nvm! I'll get to do locvid either next sem or next year.... ARGGG I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

2007-04-26T19:42:00.000+08:00

-Life goes on-

Milk makes you sleep, Coffee keeps you awake. So what does a latte do to you?

Ok! For the people who have been living under a rock, a latte is a type of Italian coffee that contains one third espresso, two-thirds steamed milk and a layer of foamed milk on the top. So an espresso is concentrated coffee and milk is milk. With that said, What are the effects of drinking a latte? Well i've begun to drink more latte instead of standard Kopi and the effects on me were really obvious. Here is the timeline:

0600hrs: I woke up, still sleepy.

0805hrs: Reached the Studio production class abit late, still sleepy.

1000hrs: Started to notice my surroundings. Paid more attention to Mr Douglas.

1100hrs: Began to 'host' a Desu Hour with Jen while the rest of T1B1 meddled with the cameras.

1210hrs: Went to Alumni Canteen with Diana, Jen and Kelvin. Food was OK.

1230hrs: DRANK THE LATTE

1300hrs: Was fully awake, went to Ms Mel's Intro to film class.

1310hrs: Started to fall asleep. Luckly i came to my senses in time.

1330hrs: Started to fall asleep AGAIN. Came to my senses in time AGAIN.

1345hrs: Watched lots of titles and Psycho. Was mixed between wanting to sleep and paying full attention.

1500hrs: Went to collect my EZ-Link. Later followed Jonathan and Diana to BTP to buy art supplies. Status: SLEEPY

After that, the whole day I was between wanting to sleep and being fully awake. I am going to classify latte as DANGEROUS. But that is not going to stop me from drinking more latte.

2007-04-25T22:59:00.000+08:00

-Being a man : FAIL-

Huh I just realized Joshua (Tan) and I failed at being a man... When we were accompanying Serena to the bus stop, Josh said its natural for man to ensure girls walk safely home... If like that... why we never accompany chel to wherever? Maybe cos 大姐大 can protect herself? LOL maybe thats why...

I just noticed the time... 11.11 p.m., should be asleep by now (tomorrow got 8 am class) but I guess the caffine from the coke light is the cause of it. I guess I should be lucky caffine still works on me. Its my Redbull.

Tonight half of the FMS ppl went for V for Vedetta. Can't really see much, Joshua (Simons) was sitting infront for me and for the first time, I realised how tall he really is. Maybe I will go rent the movie and watch it at home just to fill up the gaps. Oh btw I saw paul2hill! Was alot thinner than on TV (Like I watch Singapore Idol) Hair was shorter than I heard. I seems the guys from camp did not succeed in cutting his fringe (Or did they? hmmm.....)

After the movie, Joshua T. and I joined up with Joshua S. and gang and went to al-azahar for dinner. Justin and Josh S. was soo funny! They ordered a $8 mutabuk together! The person taking our order was so shocked that he confirm it 3 times. Apprently the $8 mutabuk was HUGE! In the end they could not finish and we came to the rescue.

After dinner, I was so clueless as to how to go to lakeside that I aimlessly followed Serena and Josh T. hoping to find a bus that goes to the nearest MRT station. After we accompany Serena to her bus stop, Josh and I walked down opp. Bukit timah market. In our attempt to find a bus stop, we did not realise the road was one way, and the side we were walking on will NEVER have a bus stop. So since bukit timah plaza was near, we cut thru it and went over to KAP (King Albert Park). There, I finally was in my comfort zone. I took 74 to dover and back to good O lakeside.

At the end of the day, im split between two different groups. Should I hang out more with my T1B1 classmates or should I hang out with the 'FSV and MCM mixed' Raptors Gang... Well good friends should stick together so I should balance my time between the two. Hope you guys don't mind.

Ahh the caffine is starting to wear out... till tomorrow then...
BTW my module blog (yes i need a blog for my assignment) is http://peanutbutterjames.wordpress.com

2007-04-23T21:05:00.000+08:00

For those people gave a "Huh?" to my secondary school, if you were to go look at the Straits Times front page, you can read more about my school. (Is my true colours a gangster? LOL i don't know)

Today's Introduction to Film was so much better. At first I was starting to hate the subject but WOW! Today we watched the 1930s Wizard of Oz. 3/4 in colour, this movie is one of the best I have ever seen. completely under rated before i saw it, it was a huge shock to me that the film is so good. Even the animation was good (Its a 1930s film u noe)

Hmm my mood seems to be better... thanks to the movie i guess...

2007-04-22T21:58:00.000+08:00

This person makes a net,
This person prays and wishes,
Would it be hard to guess,
Who would catch more fishes?

Learn today at church that just by praying you can't get things done. Though I knew this already it reminded me. Things do not happen naturally. It is the reaction of someone's action. Equivalent trade huh?

If that is the case, who am I really? All my life I have been putting others above myself, thinking about other's feelings other than my own. Is this even normal? Last week when Jeremy and Yi chee came to a totally same assumption but at different days, and even though I told them what I felt at that time, was what I said really true? If you were to ask me about my emotions, I would just give you a blank look. Even up till now im still clueless to my own emotions.

Now that I think about it (2 days of thinking), I realised that my actions are mainly due to others. I am the reaction to people's actions. All that i've done is to make others feel happy. Others above self huh... Even though I am aware that I am following a path that pleases othetrs, I can't seem to break this cycle. When I start to be a little selfish, at the end of the day im always feeling that I did not deserve what I got.

What is my true colours? I seriously don't know. I can't even decide for myself anymore. For example even though I was sick, because I promised Ben and friends, I turned up for dare night. Constant prayer to God through out the friday has help me into lasting through the night. In return now I feel tired and sleepy quite often (Equivalent trade). But oh well. Others above self. This way I won't feel guilty or sad for hurting other's feelings. In a way im glad I went for Dare Night. Thanks to God for delievering me through the night.

Are the people from FMS, ppl I just met for 15 days only, my nakama, my friends I can trust forever? It feels like it, but I hope they will be the ones who will help me realise my true colours, if it is good or bad.

On a brighter note, here is the link to my storytelling module blog (Yes the module requires a blog)
PeanutButterJames.Wordpress.com

Oh yea there will be NO photos for dare night as it is with the FMS ppl. All that I have are videos of our dares. Don't know if I should post them on Youtube...

2007-04-21T01:08:00.000+08:00

-Huh?-

Wow my expectations for friday was so wrong! So much for randomness.

In the morning, we had Storytelling. Don't be fooled by the title of the module! It has NOTHING to do with those bedtime stories and stuff. It is an English essay lesson! Sounds boring right? Well the subject is... just thinking about it but the lecturer Mr. Ryan really brought out the fun in the subject. We written a short story with the sentence: "Jonathan put on his hula girl suit and walk into a temple." (This is what i can remember. Will correct this soon). Had a fun time thinking what Jonathan might be doing.

Second lesson was Art and Design. We almost could not find the room. It was Blk 53 lvl 3 room 7. Level 3 was like an open carpark and we could not see any Room 7 in sight. It was thanks to the floor plan near the lifts that we realised Room 7 was at the far corner and the only way to go there was to walk single file through a narrow passage at the side of the building. SOO EASY TO FIND -.-

During art lesson Ms Wendy taught us all the basics of art and told us to draw lines, shapes and tones. It really reminded me of sec 2 when Mr Goh taught us ALL the basics. Now I know that Mr. Goh is a God at Art. It all looks like child's play now.

Next lesson was Photography. Apprently there was a miss communication (Convert the "i" to an "a" in miss and we would have been alright) in the location of the tutorial and as the lifts were al the way to the top and we were close to being late, we WALKED up the stairs from lvl 3 to 8. At 8, the classrom was really empty and someone noticed the lecturer at the cage (lvl 1). We WALKED down the stairs to the cage and apprently the 3 hours lesson has been transformed into a 30 mins one. We learned how to operate a film type camera (Non digital) and how to change the settings. So cool.

Later after that tutorial, we split up and I met Joshua (Tan) and Jeremy at the library. Watched 300 and waited for Chel and Jarrel. Went to Canteen 1 for dinner (WTH is it with canteen 1?) and walked together to the Dare night event. Apprently there were only 15 ppl who signed up and so we were split up into groups of 3 (With 2 GL with us). Due to randomness, Chel and I formed one group and Hui Ming joined us.

The whole night was filled with randomness. The location in the clues were changed, we ran up and down the wrong place and we lost our GLs in the process. Due to sheer combination of MCM and FSV, we persevered foward and even though we wasted lots of time running round the campus aimlessly (One clue stated SDAR office and there were two on either sides of the campus), we managed to get FIRST! WOOT! (Im still in shock and awe in being first. It must have been the power of 大姐大!

Note to Chel: Get the Chinese input pack! If i am to type 死乌龟 (Dead turtle), you may think im saying 大姐大 (Big sister) so its really important.

EDIT: K im gonna b helpful and post the download link. DON'T WASTE MY EFFORT!

K as usual, photos and a more detailed version of Dare Night tomorrow. Gotta sleep now... Have MAC Training (Teaching podcasting and more) tomorrow at 9. SMS me if u FMS ppl wanna meet.

2007-04-19T20:06:00.000+08:00

-undecided-

Huh really sleepy today. Not going to post a essay length post. Just a summary and im going to sleep soon...

Really starting to get a headache looking at the computer screen... gonna force myself to complete this post.

Ok! Today I woke up at 6... stupid 8'oclock class. Did not really get enough sleep. Dunno why but my stomach really hurt... must have been the peaking duck last night. (Will post more about that when im feeling better).

Then throughout the whole day, i was mixed between really sleepy and having the feeling to vomit. (Thank God I did not) Luckly I have a really good classmate: Kelvin! THANK YOU KELVIN!

He really helped me out, offering to eat with me at cheers and accompanying me back to the FMS building. Stupid slope. Just to let you guys know, I was SWEATING while going up the slope. In the process i forgot to join a CCA... hmm maybe thinking about PSP or fencing...

At least today's classes were fun. In the morning we did Studio Production, where we played with the cameras, Visual Switcher and had a chance to direct a simple show. The other lesson we analyzed movie trailers and deduce what the movie was about. Now I know why Chicken Little was a major let down.

After the lessons Kelvin and I took 154 back. Im soo glad I have a direct bus. I had abit of sleep on it. When alighting, I saw Wei Bin. Apprently she was waiting for Jorina to go collect the O Level Certs. Since im feeling abit better, I decided to follow them. So cool! The cert is laminated!

Lol my results are like: BAABAAD.... Stupid D go spoil the sequence. No challenge guessing what subject i got D. Oh well... Randomness.

K gtg sleep now... Will post pictures when im feeling better. Hope I will be well enough to attend Dare Night tomorrow. I WILL go to school tomorrow (Its a must apprently) and Anyone reading this please understand my condition.

2007-04-18T00:13:00.000+08:00

-School has begun and im working-

Yes today is like the second day of my new poly life and im working! Nono i did not skip today's lectures, cos today i have no lectures! Guess im the lucky class.Aslo It just so happens (randomness) that my cousin's famous store which sells HANDMADE KOREAN LEATHER SHOES; Lilica, is holding a 'Members' only pre-launch sale and is in need of a bouncer. So guess what? I became that bouncer! (For the record, this is my second time being a bouncer)

As the shop was at The Cathay and there had a Ben's & Jerry's (Today is free scoop day) I thought i can drop by and get myself one free scoop. BAD MISTAKE!

Note that B&J is on the 2nd floor. The queue in the photo is on the 3RD FLOOR!

Im sorry i could not take a better shot. I can't leave my shop post u noe... Well even though I did not get to eat the free ice cream, luckly at the basement there was the famous Oyster Mee Sua... Just typing it makes me hungry.

Well another strange thing happen (Randomness). While working, I recieved a sms from Jeremy and I replied it back like how I would normally reply the mcm-er. After like 3 - 4 sms, I then finally realised I was not sms-ing to the MCM Jeremy. I was sms-ing to my Sec sch jr. Jeremy! Screwed up piece of randomness.

Was so bored that I taken a pic of myself WITH FLASH!

The famous Handmade Korean Shoe shop: Lilica. For handmade stuff, things here are pretty cheap and good. Lots of customers said its very comfortable (Even for high heels!) Too bad im a guy and can't wear them. Hey if anyone wants to go to the shop or get a name card msg me! My presence may deliver a discount.

2007-04-16T20:32:00.000+08:00

-A new Beginning-

HA! My poly life has begun! Today I took MRT from Lakeside to Clementi and took 184 to Ngee Ann. 184 was soo crowded and slow that when we were just before Maju Camp, ANOTHER 184 overtaken us and inside was really empty. Should have waited abit more.

I met Joshua Simons on the way to the FMS building. Apprently his free Mac bag was in black and orange! MY FAVOURITE COLOURS! The stupid ppl who gave me my mac said that there was only one colour. WOW im so colour blind (-_-)... Oh well at least i've personalised my bag. Sewing is such a pain...

My first lesson was Photography with my advisor Mr. Siew Kee Liong. He gave us a brief into on the general rules and stuff. Quite a friendly guy. Next was Studio Production with Mr. Kwon Jae Youn. He is really very funny and always made us laugh. (in a good way) He also gave a brief intro on himself. Korean guy that used to work with Samsung Adverts. Soo cool. Last was this Canadian - French Lecturer Morrissette. She showed us this short film called Jesses by Royston Tan. To my opinion, it was a really hate/EMO film. I think that short film killed my inner child.

The later films were much better. We watched this stop motion film about a person fighting a chair called A Chairy Affair and a full lengthed black and white movie called Shadow of doubt. Nice movie... for a 1940s film. Morrissette told us to critic on those films.

After the lecture we went to the atrium. It was raining heavily and so I decided to do the homework at the library. Met Joshua and Val there. As Kelvin and I slowly thought of what to type, I noticed Chelmin online in Bonjour (Like what are the chances!) Apprently she was also in the library as well thus our 'bonjours' can link. Using iChat, we tried to locate each other's position but only Chel managed to locate me. When she stood up away from iChat to go find me, I notice out of the window across the atrium to the other side of the library, a girl in white stood up. (WTH SHE WAS JUST INFRONT OF ME!).

Randomness happens to me everyday so im used to it. After Kelvin and I moved to chel's location (her's have power for my 'PeanutButter'), we went back to work. Kelvin went home first and I wrote finish my assignment. Oh yea Chel was a great help! (Can't say in helping what... the lecturers may be looking at this) so THANK YOU CHELMIN.

After I met chel's friend and they have both gone home, I packed up my stuff and prepared to leave. Randomness happens! I met Yi Chee and gang! Apprently like the Mass com peeps, FSV 1.1 has to read up a book BY TOMORROW and the book has like only copies in the library.

Randomness happens everyday.

Oh yea here is my group in the FMS FOC Camp. We have become best buddies ever since.

Left to Right:
Bottom - Peggy, Ben // Mid - Jeremy, Seri, Hui ming, Chelmin, Wen xin // Top - Yi chee, ME!, Hui Ting

Hmm edited my last post. Strange I forgot to blog about today.

It is also strange how God works. In church I was trying to find the verse about casting away ur eye if it causes sin... (Matt 5:29-30) and could not find it. At home when I opened my Bible, Lo and behold the verse I was looking for was bookmarked earlier at church. (I bookmarked Matt 7:7 at church)!

Whats even more amazing was that when I mention the 'divorce verse' to Chelmin but forgot the exact verse number, THE VERSE WAS BELOW THE 'EYE CASTING' VERSE! God works in mysterious ways (and causes me to do thing in randomness too?)

Wow this is soo amazing Im gonna blog this in a seperate post! Pls read up Matt 5:29-30. It will really strengthen up a true Christian.

-And a new chapter begins (Edited)-

Hmm just got back from the Specs shop. Apprently my degree went up by 25 so now its like 700+, 600+... Heng its not 4 digits. It looks like im gonna wear those thick sided specs. Not that I have a choice. FMS is all about image.

Woke up to my handphone ringing at 7.30 a.m. really sleepy. It turned out Ren Wei and Jia Yuan wanted to swim at my condo's pool... oh well im not the kind of person who would usually said no. Wish i was though... Because of this when I went to church I was really sleepy, lucky i did not sleep during Bible class and Bro. Richard's sermon. Both were really intresting. Even now I still feel sleepy, heres the reason why:

Yesterday night there was a 4E2 BBQ gathering at my house. The 'Food committe' pretty messed up the number of food. We had 16 ppl turning up and there was 20 otar and 10 fish balls. We also messed up the satay. Apprently the satay we bought was in a lump and was meant for microwaving. One lump wasted...

The guys that carry... And the Gals that poke the chicken

When setting the fire, my father set up everything. Wow he must be a super pro! After he left, the fire was so strong that 2 packets of charcoal used up pretty fast and the Aluminium foil melted, YES MELTED! The heat was even so strong that the otar CAUGHT FIRE FROM THE HEAT!

My life is full of randomness. So many things happening around me. In the end we ordered Canadian pizza.

Hmm school is starting tomorrow... I remembered the lecturer saying he's gonna mail us something but my mail is empty and i keep getting 404 error from Mel.

Oh well it was fun while it lasted.

Note:~

To FMS ppl: Wow I think i've been around u guys too much. Feels weird not to be together.

To BBQ attendies: Those who have not paid yet pls pay $7 to me (James) and if you ate the pizza pls pay $3 more.

2007-04-14T08:27:00.000+08:00

Life is all about how you handle it.

Wow Poly life is sure different! Its so easy to make friends. Like for example now, just 1 week since we met, the FMS Hawks and Eagles group are soo bonded! This is like a cultural shock for me as I am usually cold and a loner to strangers but this time im open... hmmm strange.

Lsat night I had a good sleep! Luckly the Banana Java Chip did not get me on high too high. THANKS YI CHEE!

I don't know why but im like so in to iChat, but sadly most of the ppl around me don't like using it... I wonder why...

Last night i had a chat with chelmin... apprently her self esteem is soo negative... RAPTORS CHEER HER UP! I also realised that being EMO should be in moderation. Hmm i don't understand how cutting urself helps at all... After all, its not ur fault. If it was me, i would mass nudge random ppl... at least its more constructive...

And oh yea... HAPPY BIRTHDAY SERENA!

Here is my timetable for those who want it.

EDIT: I just realised that when the lecturer said the timetable has a lesson missing, I did not expect the lesson to be on friday which is already pack... oh well at least tuesday no school

2007-04-13T23:47:00.000+08:00

-Im on high with no sleep-

Ok im just lazy to do a post right now... So im just going to post the photos today (without watermark) and let u guys 'Drag and Drop' (Mac Only)

One small step towards mac,

one giant leap to being a MACtard

Wow today's Mac training was wow... full of awsomeness. We learn stuff like ichat, iphoto, iwadeva and much more! Now im like Ichating with Joshua and Val. Gonna post photos and stuff on today later.

Wow now its like 6:50 in the morning... stopped iChating at 12+. Due to my coffee shot earlier at night, I DID NOT SLEEP THE WHOLE NIGHT! Just kept rolling around...

K yesterday basically had the mac training, Checking of class, biometric thing, Adobe Creative suite.

First of all I intro-ed Yong Ming and Peici to the Raptors Gang. I dunno why but i feel bad.... maybe its due to us being seperated in the LT and Computer lab. Sorry.

When it was checking of class, I noticed there is no familier face in my class T_T. I was thinking this might happen as..... I HANG OUT TOO MUCH WITH U MCM-ERS! Oh well... im not gonna stop, just go on making friends.

Oh yea did i mention FMS gave us FREE Adobe Creative Suite? That means Photoshop FREE!!!! Oh man im so happy! On a side note, Reformatting ur Mac is the dumbest smart thing to do -_-

K what is a biometric thing? Its using ur fingerprint to enter the FMS building! YES A FINGERPRINT! Haha i dun need a fujitsu to do the fingerprint thing!

K after all that, the gang went to play billard. Was fun at first, me and Yi chee VS Jarrel and 大姐大 (Chel). The game was full of randomness. There are those we can hit, those we randomly missed (0_0). In the end our 大姐大 won by a few balls.

Second round it was Yi Chee and Jarrel VS 大姐大 and I. LOL 大姐大 and I full of randomness! When I was to start break, I shot the ball, it curved, zoom pass the 15 balls and into a hole. LIKE WTF? BREAK OSO GOT MISS ONE.... when it was second round, 大姐大 shot a ball into the hole. Full of randomness. Oh yea how did we win? Yi chee shot the black ball in the wrong hole by mistake. Full of randomness.

It was then 大姐大 and I VS Jeremy and Yi chee(If i can remember). We spend the first 9 shots still open. NOT A SINGLE BALL IN! After a while, Yi Chee shot a perfect snook and snooked the 大姐大

Oh well... a day full of randomness.

Note: It turned out my billard stick tip was slanted. So much for randomness

2007-04-11T17:40:00.000+08:00

RAPTORS OEI~ OH SHIT, A Brief summery!

A Brief Summary (aka FMS camp RAWKS!)

Just came back from FMS camp. Was damn fun. Thanks Ben and Peggy for helping us (Hawks) OWN the others! Raptors rawks!

During the camp all we did was run, run and run. Then stupid sia... the amazing race our FIRST STOP was a Blk 60. We circled the block like 3 times but could not find the Station master. Then we realised HE WAS AT THE CANTEEN. WTF CANTEEN IS CANTEEN, BLK 60 IS BLK 60!

Ok lah give him chance lah.... the canteen was NEAR blk 60. BUT KNN I THINK HE WANTED US TO KILL HIM. HE GAVE US THE WRONG CLUE! And wrong is like something that can kill us... Ngee Ann poly is so damn big and the wrong clue cost us to go wrong station. NVM Hawks can still catch up. Then we go our correct station, "Why are you guys so late arrr..."

WAH PIANG LOOSE ATTITUDE SIA! KK some of u campers reading this will say that I never looked like i lost attitude wad... Cos im not the person who would let others see i LA. Later u guys oso LA. So can lah, i go to the back and cheer the Johnstance (fat dude) to run with us.(Shld have poked his ass, the PSkia -read further to find out why) When we reached the last station I thought we will be last. BUT NO! WE CHIONG UNTIL LIKE 2ND! Heng i nvr LA on everyone.

Later we did the dress up GL thing. Wah lau Chel the drawing damn nice sia!(Oh yea she also designed the flag in 5 mins while we pondered for 20 mins) Yi chee, Jeremy and I went foward to make the mini hat. Was really nice, looked abit like an UFO. And of course, WE WON FIRST!

At night I tried to sleep but can't. First off some of the boys were talking abt perv stuff... dunno why Paul twohill name got come out. Maybe cos he will be in MCM this year... Also the room was damn cold and Yi Chee was shivering. In the end i shared the pain with him and opened up my sleeping bag. Slept for 1 hour. Woke up really sleepy and just nice the canteen was open. Bought myself and ice-kopi and it kept me awake like the whole day.

Later in the afternoon, we practiced the skit. Wah everyone so on sia... eh where is Jonstance? Hmmm maybe he went for smoking break.... KNN HE PANG SEH US! STUID PS-KIA NVR TELL US. Ok lets just forget abt him ok?

In the end, we Raptors and Hawks kicked ass.

Edit: I rushed posting this, so im gonna post on the water bombs and the 'Night walk Gang' soon.

K im back. So here is the winning 'Dress the GL' with Peggy as the GL and Chel as the designer.

The Final Battle

K during the Final battle where all 3 families (Raptors, Mystics, Wild Cats) and the GLs fight out in a 4 way water bomb battle. At first we allied with the wild cats for a peace treaty. So all the Raptors did was to camp and protect our base. Mystics were aiming for the GLs, Wild Cats were aiming at Mystics. Do note that Wild cats had 100+ more bombs than us.

As the battle continued, the GLs bombs began to deplete. And where do I come in? A the Raptors were camping, a few of the boys (including me) became 'Chiongers (Rushers)' As a group, we chiong to both Mystics and the GLs. As the GLs had no bombs left, I chiong to their base and like the Death Star blowing up, the bomb in my hand punched through the 'lolipop'.

With the GLs out, they decided to join our worthy cause. They were advicing us again and again to finish off Mystics. Good thing we did not take their advice. As Wild Cats went to wipe off Mystics, we watched as Wild Cats threw their bombs and thus bringing our bombs count to be around the same.

After replenishing bombs on both sides. the battle started again. Now we, the rushers, are now promoted to Kamikaze dudes. While having our last 'sake' at our base, the others (plus GLs) formed a line and with 'Banzai' in the air, the front line rushed foward straight. Meanwhile, us the kamikaze ppl rushed from the front and sides from behind the line and weeved through the Wild cats. Fellow kamikaze Joshua Simons dashed with me and together we brought damage to the enemy's 'lolipop'.

Both Wild Cat's and Raptor's bombs have depleted (Cats=5, Birds=1) and the game paused due to someone throwing a pail, YES A PAIL, at our lolipop and apprently it hit Chelmin. The pussies even wanted to claw the lolipop. Pissed off with the fowl attack by the wild cats, Everyone formed a line again and now all former rushers formed a human shield round the one guy who had our last bomb. Briskly walking foward, our line met the Cat's line and with the urge to kick their ass, our line pushed through and with the final bomb, made lots of damage on the enemy's 'lolipop'.

In the end the cats also rushed their 5 bombs at us but thanks to our 'tankers' we managed to burst the bombs before it reached our base. Apprently MOST of our Kamikaze ppl did NOT get hit at all! I left the battle a healthy man. (Note that if we were really kamikazes, we must commit seppuku cos we were untouched)

Even though we won the battle, many T-shirts, Pants, Shoes were wet in battle and had one victim. Not gonna say who. you can guess yourself.

2007-04-08T21:48:00.000+08:00

2007-04-03T18:37:00.000+08:00

Hmm last thursday after filming for Project: Memories at the stadium i met up with shawn, liz, zaim and together we went to Peici house for 4E2 gathering. On the way we decided to meet Jia yuan. Wah lau eh we supposed to meet him at city hall but he go take until after bugis. Heng Zaim ask me to call JY and ask where his is or else we will be stuck at city hall waiting for ghost.

After we reached Tanan Merah we need to take bus to Peici house. At the stop shawn press the bell but lizann say its not the stop... Then we were scolding shawn and stuff and once the bus started to move, Lizann and Zaim realised THAT WAS THE STOP. Oh well, b'cause of that we had to walk down a hill.

At peici house, joycelyn, vee sheng, jie jun and peici (duh) were already there. Later came rachel and jia ying. Faizal, uzair and sufiyan came a little later. We ate pizza, pizza and more pizza... watched The Guardian abit and played Xbox racing and halo abit. At night we slowly walked to pasir ris park and went through a pitch black mangrove area led by peici's bro. Even i was scared a little. I was so dark that when u reach out your hand, you can hardly see your fingers. What was worse was that we walked until a dead end overlooking a pond and the area was foggy. (It later turned out that it was my glasses that was foggy)

But that was not shocking. What was shocking was that AFTER we came out, the girls (Who did not enter the mangrove) was running to us screaming. It turns out they heard a errie kind of singing. At first i thought psycho had came to ruin our gathering but it was actually someone singing out of tune nearby.

Till the next gathering.... (Maybe BBQ this sat at my house?)

2007-03-24T08:03:00.000+08:00

Just came back from Ngee Ann... WITH A MAC! I bought the 2.0+ GHZ White Mac Book. KNN 80 GB onli plus once i install Final Cut Express HD the space will be 60GB. Oh well there goes downloading anime and songs into the mac. Games is out of the question as ITS A MAC!

Damn photoshop is not included. Wanted to get hold of one. (Been using Paint and photoplus too much) But at least they gave Final Cut, Microsoft office 04 and Studio 8 (Flash, Fireworks, Dreamweaver & Contribute) free. MSN included sucked like shit so much that "Your Msn messenger is out of date." When i clicked the link they gave to get a new version, they brought me to Live messenger. WTF LIVE MESSENGER IS FOR WINDOWS! Stupid Wintards can't tell what is a mac. I had to google (At least google is not a wintard) for a Mac version of MSN. Good thing that existed.

Another stuff cool about the mac is that it has a remote controller and damn the graphics rocks!

Well now I have two laptops sitting on my desk; one black, one white. Gonna buy a white mouse for the mac soon. [Click to enlarge and compare]

2007-03-23T13:54:00.000+08:00

As promised im back. Wahh registration for Film, Sound & Video so stupid sia... I was waiting for my FSV enrolment package until the last day and still dun have. (I received the mass com one liao) I called Ngee Ann and heng i call sia. They told me that 'When you enrol online, you can choose between mass com or FSV. Also cancel the course name in the forms and change to Film, Sound & Video.'

WTF NOW THEN TELL ME! WEBSITE NVR SAY ANYTHING, ENROLMENT PACKAGE NVR SAY ANYTHING.

Oh well... Did my enrolment liao... Going to Ngee Ann to look at laptops soon. KNN leh... I already got a laptop but FSV need a mac... A MAC! I always wanted a mac but not a mac laptop... Oh well, even if i went to mass com i oso nee to but so maybe it is God's will for me to own a mac.

I won't leave this blog dead!

2007-02-21T06:40:00.000+08:00

Hmm i just remembered someone saying "so long nvr update blog de" and so im back! Lots of things have happen since i last posted.

First of all i gotten back my O level results: L1R5 = 10, R4 = 7. Wahhh so I must have gone to JC right? WRONG! I am one of those people the newspaper mentioned: 'Students who can go JC go Polytechnic instead.'

Well that article was a load of crap (I mean, if your results are shit, why waste on popular courses like mass com? BE REALISTIC!). Anyway yea im going to poly. Ngee Ann offered me 2 choices: Mass Communications or Film, Sound & Video so im going to FSV.

Graduation Night Video Status: Publishing

Compiling --> Timing --> First Editing --> Credits --> Second Editing --> Testing --> Completed --> Publishing

Finished the grad nite video... now what is left is the publishing. Please note that I will NOT pass the completed video to anyone before the Graduation Night ( 24 Nov 2006 ). After the Grad nite i'll post a download link 4 those of u who wanna download and on Youtube for those who wanna save space.

*Latest: The video will be 63 mb and last for 7 mins+ . I will also make a 'making of' for fun

2006-11-21T15:20:00.000+08:00

Progress for the grad nite video has improved now that the Os r over. Yesterday filming went pretty well. Thanks to Jia Yuan's video cam, i managed to film the final parts of the video. After grad nite i'll post on youtube the video and the making of the video to let u'all see ^_^

Currently i've finished the credits part... can't do the actual thing yet as much of the video clips r with rachel. On a brighter note, since 4e1's video is going nowhere, Dexian has decided to join both our videos up. That means that Jam Studios would be making most of the grad nite video... (the rest is under Illias)

Grad nite is coming this fri. Need to submit the video on thursday to the 'censorship board'. Most likely my video would be given a PG-13 but NC-16 is also fine by me. Just kidding.

2006-11-17T20:20:00.000+08:00

Yay A maths Os finish! Now what is left is Science MCQ and D&T paper... Just an announcement:

[All 4e2 students pls meet in class after the science MCQ for a little
get together. Will take less than an hour]

Schools r going to end... Gonna miss sch... all the teachers, classmates, CCA camps... After Os gonna find work... if you know and good jobs pls intro me... Also maybe going to Japan for holiday... Always wanted to go there but now, dunno wad to do there... If anyone of you been to Japan pls msn me and tell me wad to do there and maybe i'll get u a souvenir...

2006-11-13T16:31:00.000+08:00

WOW THANKS MACY!!! As u all notice all the stuff is no longer grey thx to Macy for pointing out the filter which darkens everything... (Stupid orginal template fault...)

My com now has been running with about 30+GB free thanks to the recent purchase of a 250GB external hard drive. Now all my anime and work do not have to be cramped into my com

To all O level peeps, the timing for the Os Amaths on thursday will be changed to 9.00 a.m. and the FnN and POA on friday to change to 9.00 a.m. and 11.30 a.m. This is due to GW Bush visiting S'pore. If you dun believe pls visit here: channelnewsasia.com

Also pls do not sent me the sms saying of this change. I received abt 15+ sms all telling the same thing... Should not have helped spread.

I also have discovered a new game: PirateKingOnline
Something like Ragnarok online but pirates based. Sadly the game is not Noobie friendly so playing a ragnarok type game for the first time will be abt confusing.

Gonna study some B²-4ac=0 for now... NAH

ANNOUNCEMENT!!! ALL 4E2 ppl pls stay back after the Sci Mcq paper on Monday 20 Nov for a short class gathering.

2006-11-10T20:21:00.000+08:00

Today i had my E maths O levels. Quite easy for me, hopefully can pull up paper 1 where i screwed up alot. Gao ge say my blog very dark... sry but i still cannot find the reasons why all words that i type all turn out grey...

Today i also drew my character for www.anime-eden.com forum Bleach RPG... kinda the kind of character i like, fully dressed in Captain robes. Anime-eden is a nice site, with lots of anime info.

2 weeks left until O levels finish... gonna find work after that...

2006-11-05T07:47:00.000+08:00

Today my heart was pounding. Not because my O levels start tomorrow, but because last night when I turned on windows movie maker to check on the graduation nite video, I was so shocked when the preview window froze and nothing could be previewed. Seriously I needed to preview my work but I can't seem to get it to work. I think the problem is due to a lot of realmedia codec.

(Realmedia SUX. Don't use it, don't view its formats. Wait till an avi version is out. Don't spoil your com just for a realmedia video)

Anyway after I panicked a little while I remembered what my master taught me:"If you cock-up, there is always System Restore." I happily went to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore when the unthinkable happens. "error: System Restore has been turned off by group policy. To turn on System Restore, contact your Administrator." WTH I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR!!!!!

So here i am. The solution was simple. Go edit the registry, edit group policy (why windows invented this, i don't know. Maybe trying to be stupid) and volia la! Windos movie maker is back to normal! the only down side is all my collection have been erased. Oh well better than nothing....

2006-11-02T12:53:00.000+08:00

Haha back again... Can't help the words being abit grey... I keep stating the colour to be white but some filter causes all stuff (words and pics) to be grey... gonna find the problem in a moment.

I finally found a place to put my certs (Microsoft Word EXPERT and Microsoft Powerpoint SPECIALIST), on the wall right next to the clock infront of the computer. Good thing Mdm Ang offered to laminate it or else i'll have to find for 2 frames

2006-10-23T14:56:00.000+08:00

Yay i finally got this blog up and running. It is abit of a pain in the ass but finally got the background pic ready. At least doing this was more fun than studying. (O levels a few weeks way) Gonna add a tag board and finish the links after the Os...
