... i think that's old-english for "things wil get better soon."

This morning.. while bathing.. i bent over to get some shampoo. It was in one of thse pump-action thingy that has found purpose for the base of our thumbs. I was a bit groggy that time, what with having a high fever and stuff, and i accidentally laid my entire weight on the little pump and the shampoo just squirted all over the shower floor like some pre-teen having his first ejaculation! LOLZ!!! I laughed my head off after watching that.

=p


anyways yeah ive been sick. It's like... worry leads to depression leads to sick leads to maturity. For me at least. =p. Dunno la... i have this mentallity that when you become very sick all of a sudden, its a form of reaction ur body gets when it's growing up. haha...

but nevertheless i went to school for a little consultation abt my Writ Comm assignment; Informative essay.

Initially my first thesis statement was, "The German language is more well-suited for assertive speeches than the English language is."

Miss ann was like,"No no no this cant be done, its persuasive! you'll get lost! it's nt a strong thesis staement! " on her emails to me. literally, i received a short essay on why i shouldnt use that thesis staement for an informative essay. haha... but she said it's good for a persuasive one.

so... i changed it to, "Aikido; the modern Japanese martial art that emphasizes the balance between the body and mind of its practitioners that in turn benefit them to a large extent."

Then, as ordered like the others, i wrote out a brief outline of wht im gonna write for this 1200 words essay.

so i came down at 2:10pm today for my ten-minutes consultation.

First thing she said," Your thesis statement DOES NOT have a verb."

dots...

and she got out her red pen, cancelled out my semi-colon after the Aikido word and wrote in, "is".

"Ahhh yes.... NOW it's a complete sentence."

omg wht module am i in.... -.-....

lolz anywyas yeah she mentioned my outline was indeed well done, not medium-rare, tasted like chicken but looked like beef and was presented in a very modern-asian style.

err yeah... she liked it...

I was still feverish (coming down to sch with my specs and all, getting the "hey, nerd!" response from everyone." and i happened to bump into Shaun and Joyce outside class...

well well well... this morning we... no.. they... had their preview screening of "Savage Cravings". Seems like our group finished our editing first. wootz!

Shaun then described to me mister Patrick Cheng's (pak chew cheng... =p) reaction to our video (which was completed wayyy ahead of schedule...) .... He watched the 7 minute video.... silently.. (wow!)...... the gys thought he was angry... then when it came to our climax part, he slammed the spacebar to stop the clip... looked at every member of the crew (and imagined me... i was at home then...).. and said,"I would have never expected this out of year one students. The set design was good, the acting was good, the camerawork, although jerky at times, is good.. considering that it was handheld all the way. And this camera is a very difficult toold for handheld shots." ....

lolz.. wootz man!!!

then i heard... that my FIRST NARRATIVE VIDEO PROJECT..... scored an.....( suprise!!!)..... scored an A!!!!! OMG!!!!!

lolz!!!

if it werent for paperwork (my producer was one of those oh-no-i'll-melt kinda ppl... slacking on the job..), i couldve gotten an A+!! zzz but then again... 'A' is good. whee!!!

and then.. finally... the crew CHANGED the final project script! whee!!! no more psychotic mumbo-jumbo.... now its.. finally.. a romance clip...

i heard the story (described by Mariah-Carey-Manic Shaun) and yes... it was indeed light-hearted... touching somewhat... romantic. Then i asked about talents.... they had no idea who to choose... So i gave them my two-cents,"Why not we get a real couple? I mean.. the chemistry's already there...."...

The agreed...

So now I'm calling upon Clara and Donald to come up for auditions (which is basically me going to you and takin video then passing it for crew to see over the internet).

Wouldn't you just like to be part of a project that is crafted by intelligent video-makers? yes you do.. you do...

yeah then things went to a higher note at night... finally i met sarah to pass her some foreskin... lolz... that recording she took where SHE interviewed John Mah, the guy who shocked everyone with his Fourskin. LOLZ!!! that's nt even grammatically correct! But is there a verb? hm.. yes it does...

It's so not difficult to lose sarah's voice in a conversation... she's the most whiny-motherly one. =p

Hmm yeah then now i'm reverting back to scale modeling but this time on much larger scale, literally. I'm making out a 1/10th scale of a Type 97 Chi Ha, made out of aluminium sheets, real rivets, wood, an engine and workable tracks. Why am i doing this? ah yes.... because somewhere... sometime... in the future... i'm gonna make a story on Singapore... World War Two style... =p ... And this super huge scale model of the tank.. coupled with bluescreen... and an enthusiatic film-crew, i can create shots that would compel viewers to change their views about what they can do in life even though they may be academically-challenged..... or poor..... and also to think about the suffereing our GRANDPARENTS went through... and how stark it is of a contrast between their time and ours now.... 60 years is not a long time...

quoting from someone,"Our society has modernised too quickly for the society to keep up." (Someone, 2005, p. 15)

or it sounded st like that.. i used that quote to support my," Advances in technology is the cause of complaceny amongst young Singaporeans today" essay..

well done, audi.. well done...

but remember to help others as well.
