Hey hey.
Finally found time(or rather decided to) blog. So tired today, but I expect even tired-er days ahead. Oh well, I got myself into this and I have to make the most of it. Jiu duo chuang qiang er yi. Haha, kidding la. I dun have latent suicidal tendencies. Yet.
Anyway, today was a rather straightforward day. Had LOCVDP Editing Test in the morning. Was quite alright, other than the irritating trashy junkyard-candidate of a DV tape. Kept giving me problems like no one's business... ZZZZ. As a result I took a far longer time to complete the test than I anticipated. And yes, i have to comment on the footage. That robber is stupid, he could at least check the car before his big hit, or at least get someone else to drive the car instead of himself. And which robber wears a stocking nowadays? Helmets and cool black ski-masks are the in-things now. Outdated fella. Opps I'm digressing, sorry~! =P
After The Test, the Fab Four(Baubug,ZX,Jason,me) proceeded to the library to finish our template 4 while the other 2 went there to do some reasearch for their poduct. At the word "Library", you envision a place of calm, tranquility, and above all, Silence. Well, the guy who came up with the definition of Library obviously hasn't met us. =)
We were like having a concert in the project rooms. At first it was a cacophony of loud, rojak tunes and melodies from the 2 main language factions, and Clarence later added in his own voice, a solo concert. So that made the project room noisier than ever. But after a while, the Singer decided that he had enough. He made us take turns to play one song each. Well, at least that went well, for 15 mins at least, cause we had to vacate the room to allow the next booker in. And we did this THREE times. Well done man all those bookers. =)
By the time we finished, it was almost time to consult Peter for our FP. The Fab Four went to the workshop and alas, we were greeted with a chaotic sea of confusion. Shockalates( i think so) was there, as well as some of the ppl from my class having The Test now. And, yes you guessed it, talk talk talk talk talk talk talk~
Other than the complimentary small talk and "Hi"s and "Ho"s and "Yo"s, there were of course my favourite topic during this phase of my life - GOSSIP. I'm loving it, ba la ba ba ba. Lol. Gossip is rampant almost anywhere in society, and our class ain't spared. But then, WHY SHOULD WE? Its like so interesting. Listening to what ppl have to say bout others and their 2 cents about you... Its enriching, yet terribly confusing at times. Its easy to lose your footing, orientation and even dignity in the perverse region of gossip. But thats what make's it soooooo fun. =) I better cut back though, everytime I do that I feel like an auntie from the wet market. Brrr....
As expected, more changes have to be made to the script due to cast confusion, technical problems and timing issues. Haiz. All these are part and parcel of this module though, and I have learnt to take things as they come, take things in my stride. =) That way, I will live longer, and happier to.
So that means I have to produce the Script, the Lined Script, the Overheads and the Shot List by next Friday - Filming Day! You may think all those sound like a lot, but in actual fact its not. Its HELL lot. LOL. No la. Its quite alright. Why not split jobs with the rest you say? Well, we considered that, but everyone else have their own stuff to do, their own lives to lead. And since I enjoy doing paperwork, ITS ALL MINE! WAHAHAHAHAHA. -_- I'm swear i'm going bonkers... Too much Maple...Hmmmzz..
Ok thats about it. Stick around for the next instalment till then have fun absorbing the following. =) Good night and sleep tight all! And thank you all for your continued support. :)
If one man can dig a 5m hole in half an hour using a 2 metre long stainless steel shovel with lift power of 29J per lift, how long will 6 men take to dig half a hole of diameter 7m with 1.6m long wood-metal hybrid shovels of lift power 20J?
Those who know the answer pls dun give it away for the others. Thks. =)

HELLO. FINALLY I HAVE TIME TO POST! So sit back and enjoy this once-in-a-very-long while experience. Nah, just joking. Dun read nvm lor. =P
Ok where do I start? Hmm... Alright I shall begin with my Break week,the one week break all Poly-goers like myself get 7 weeks into the semester. Can you believe it? SEVEN WEEKS have gone by! Just 7 more and I have a 6 week holiday waiting for me. WOOHOO~
*Ahem*
Ok. Enough rejoicing. I dun even know if I can survive those 7 weeks. But hey, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Doesn't it? =D
Break week. Hmmm. Doesn't seem much like a break to me. Why so? Read on.
Super-summarised Chronology
Monday: Went to school. Purpose:Book LOCVDP equipment for filiming on Wednesday. After that wanted to go to the CC to revise for common test, but felt nauseous on the way home, so abandoned the thought and headed home. And guess what I did back there? You got it! Maple!
Tuesday: Went to school again, this time for PRMACOM template completion. Everyone was cooperative today however, so we finished our assignment without much incident. After that, went to the good ol' CC and revised Chapter 1 for the upcoming PRMACOM common test the following week. Why is Common Test called Common Test? There's nth common about it thats for sure, but its a test of our knowledge. It just doesn't make sense. =P
Wednesday: Back to school. Filming day for LOCVDP Adapted Project. I would attempt to chronicle every event of the day, but my memory is currently chock full of marketing theories, so I shall make a long story short: Wednesday was tiring.VERY tiring. Hit the sack once I got home, at around 10+. ZZZZZZZZZ.
Thursday: Back to school yet again(ZZZZZZZZZZZ), to return the equipment and finish up PRMACOM template 2. Oh yes we tried our hand on editing our AP then too. Scene 1 incomplete. -_-
Friday: FINALLY. NO SCHOOL. Spent the entire day in the world of MapleStory. Went to the new world called Bootes(what a silly name), and obtained the coveted Mark of the Beta Bandana!!! Wee~ Although I tried to "relax" today, I was plagued with numerous telephone calls from my colleagues. Guys, try to study on your own. I know as much as you do. =D
Saturday: Awoke early, about 9+ coming to 10. Got dressed and headed straight to the CC to stuff MEDISOC theory into my brain. Woah, that place was near empty when i got there, and was no better when I left. Oh well. It ain't the "peak" periods, where students have their examinations. Only an elite few were there. One SRJCian, 2 NJCians, a few Uni-undergrads and a horde(3 individuals) of casually-clad secondary school youngsters. And of course me, your Ngee Ann Poly student. Seriously, I think I'm the only Poly guy going there on such a regular basis. I must be outta my mind.... Anyway, I clocked 7 hrs of hardcore studious learning then, and returned home with a heavy head. Ow...How come I can't seem to walk straight? o.O
Sunday: Sunday rolled along.A day of rest, relaxtion, and release. NAH. Not for me at least. Sunday was similar to Saturday, primary reason being the MEDISOC common test was on the following Monday, which is yesterday. I crammed hard, my hand becoming a quasi-motor page flipper instead of an organic appendage. So draining. Clocked almost 7 and a half hours, then returned home. De-stressed a little with Maple, then went to sleep.
There you have it. My one week break. Hectic isn't it? So all you JC-goers who think that Poly life is slack, think again. Really.
Yesterday,Monday, was the MEDISOC common test. Quite alright actually, if you have studied for it, that is. Only thing I didn't know was what the hell COMPASS stood for. I swear never to work for them. Ever. Not in a million years. Ok...maybe if the pay was good I would consider. =P
After the test headed for the CC. Chiong-ed 2 chapters of PRMACOM. As expected that place was deserted. But if you had seen the situation today, you would agree thats nothing.
Today awoke at 10, rushed to the CC to finish revision for PRMACOM. As expected, the place was empty. Went for breakfast then started on the marketing road trip. Haiz.. So much info, so little memory capacity... And I was so lonely... No one came through the wooden door until it was almost 2, a NJC gal. Silent, steadfast lady, straightaway embarked on her studies the moment she sat down.WOW. After some time other ppl streamed in, namely my sis and her classmates. They stayed for barely an hour, then left. Funny people. =D As for me, I stayed till 6+, when I had finished with my revision. Came home and Maple-ed, then decided to blog, cos yesterday SOMEONE asked me to post more. So here it is. What you have just read. Phew, well its not so hard ain't it. Maybe this blog will be seeing more happy days ahead. Till Next time. Au revoir~

First of all, SORRY.
I apologise for the lapse in between the posts,but I can't help it. I didn't feel the need to post. There wasn't a sense of urgency,nor was there any motivation.Besides I'm at home all day long,so nothing much happened. But fret not,the situation should be improving shortly. =D
Alright,lets begin shall we?
As per any other day till school starts, woke up and booted up the PC and played MapleStory. Well,its not reaally considered as playing,as I wasn't training,just sitting there talking to ppl till about one when my fren logged in. Yipeee.
Trained for a while,"scammed" a fellow Mapler then went to a part of the dungeon. There, I felt an immense sense of accomplishment:I killed 4 Cargos,an precedented feat performed by my character.WOOHOO...I was so proud of myself,although I used up half of my white pots,6 unagis and a crate of mana elixirs....well you can't win them all can ya? As I did this, my fren yielded to them. He couldn't drink his healing potions fast enough and became lunch for the mutated cats. Saded...T_T
Thereafter,I pulled myself away from the computer screen and made a trip to the library to replenish my ever-dwindling supply of reading material.Again,I selected books on my favourite topic-Weapons and Warfare =). With that i left for home,as ominous cumulus clouds loomed over the overcast sky.
Back at home,back to maple. No training done just chit chat. Maple is getting boring...should quit ASAP. :P
Well thats about all. Another uneventful day in my boring exsistence. Haiz...I need to go to school...fast... Wee Maple outing next week,wonder how my fellow Maplers are like... Ha ha... That wil remain to be seen...
Alright,this posts ends here ---------------->.

Random Outing
At last,something nice to post on my blog.Yay.
Today was another day with the word "OUTING" prominently displayed on it, as with last week. Same thing,KBOX once again. Spent three hours three singing our hearts out-Dez,Chienzz,Augustine and me.I think i sang a little too much,my throat still feels a little sore. Can't be, I only sang Di Er Tian Tang,Qing Tian,Ba Wo Hui Lai Le twice,An Jing,Yi Fu Zhi Ming and a few more only. Sianz,weak man me. Ha ha.And yes I have something to complain:our lunch didn't arrive until half an hour to our due time.Why like that?
After that we met up with Mich and Brian and Zheng and our little party was completed! Three Cheers! Now came a problem,coordinator did not plan where to go next. He suggested going to the Esplanade to see the Star Wars memorabilia again,all the Jedi's lightsabers and things,but the decision was literally ignored by most of us. He ended up rapping with me while Dez discussed the next move with the rest of the gang.By the way,coordinator=Chienzz. =D
We ended up in Heeren after a while and milled around the complex and around it,making a few small purchases along the way. Aug and I each bought a colored wristband which seems to be in fashion recently,and Zheng and Brian satiated their hunger with warm snacks from Old Chang Kee.With that,we entered Takashimaya,en route to Kinokuniya.
After paying a visit to our old friend Sauron's Finger aka Ultimate Nose-Digger, we travelled deeper into the vast bookshop,flipping through book after book and making jokes outta everything. LOL. Suddenly Zheng and Aug announced that they were thirsty,and we therefore proceeded to Cold Storage to get some cheap beverages,minus Dez and Mich.
Took em look enough to choose their drinks though. At first wanted F&N,then later switched to a big,cheap bottle of China-bottled cola,then returned to F&N after gaining enlightenment on that aspect of its manufacture.Make up your mind la! Give up....
Finally, we were outside the supermarket and Chienzz was trying to discern the whererabouts of Dez and Co.They were at a toy store and we promptly went to meet up with them.Wow,that shop was no ordinary toy shop,it was a store selling MIND GAMES.Puzzles and educational pieces aligned the shelves of the humble enterprise. Furthermore,they allowed people to play the games on display cool. We stood there fiddling with a metal mind puzzle for about half an hour,during which Dez and Co. left us,again.Now they were at the library@Orchard. Playing a while more with the puzzle and successfully solving it,we moved to the library,where we decided to be a little mischievious.
We "stalked" the pair of lovebirds for a while before some of us decided to give the game away. Sian.Spoil our fun.Anyway it was dinner time. We went to Crystal Jade Kitchen for it, as per Dez, only to find a LONG queue already there.We took a number and waited,while Brian entertained us with his many mind tricks.
Dinner was a time-consuming and costly affair,paying almost up to ten bucks for it. T_T no more outings for me until I get my allowance 38 days later. T_T Sob...To make matters worse, they wanna go Gelare for ice cream.Oh my god...
It wasn't too bad.The waffle was good,the ice cream excellant,and the floorshow spectacular. LOL. After eating,we did each other a fon adieu and went home.
OMG.HECTIC DAY. HAHA.
Thats its guys.Thanks for joining me. Till next time. =D
