Four down.
Three to go.
Finally, all these would come to an end, these days of pain, days of stress, days of anxiety. In a couple of weeks, all these would vanish into thin air, with only a filmsy piece of paper as a memory of it all. And what a memory it has been.
I awoke early this morning to embark on my quest for knowledge. After the necessary complimentaries, I made my way to the antechamber of wisdom, only to find scholars already there.
I have to awake even earlier tomorrow.
My quest for knowledge was not an easy one, hindered by fatigue, boredom, and the sheer frigidness of the place. It was not an easy task trying to learn under such conditions, but I tried my best, bearing the hope hour after hour that my beacon of hope will arrive.
Jeremy came today, and he did his best to study as well. Alas, he too succumbed to the hellish conditions that had plagued my being. Despite that, both of us continued to strive on, as best we could. My eyes floated to the door every five minutes, wishfully thinking.
At around noon, both of us went for luncheon. The grilled fish on a platter I had was alright, other than the price of it. However, if a certain factor was present it would taste better than foie gras (fwah-grah) and baked potatoes combined. I'm quite sure the innkeeper implemented cost-based pricing for his product lines, but his higher prices were justified by the quality of his product, which fulfilled its core benefit and the actual product did well in conveying this benefit to the consumers, namely me.
After lunch, we headed back. Theories and facts found niches in my neural network, which, day by day, is being taken over by an identified but sadly unstoppable virus. The theories and facts which managed to wrestle a place in my mind from his deadly virus were the lucky ones, the ones that I would most likely remember for life.
Four in the afternoon:snack time. Jeremy and I proceeded to the shopping arcade to purchase some warm sustenance to satiate our hunger. A certain stall sold curry puffs at a dollar each, ten cents more than what I perceived it would be. Whatever happened to the societal marketing concept? Aren't companies supposed to implement marketing mixes that would serve the individual consumer and improve the society as a whole? And the price of a product is part of that marketing mix. Seriously speaking, I am appalled. The service sector has degenerated as of late, with an attitude-deterioation epidemic spreading like wildfire among the salespeople. If I met another one of these species of salepeople, I'll flip. Unless...
Well, the day did not bring anymore surprises. And I'm brought crashing down to Earth once more. ..

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~
