Burning the midnight oil

Now it is already pass 1:30 am, its a thursday early mid night morning. I feel so tired, my muscles are aching. My eyes are heavy and my neck feels like its going to give way. Right now Im rewriting one of my script for my final year project. I have my previous version, but its not suitable for using it to shoot during the production time. So I am writing it back again, considering the way of shooting. Because the previous one, I did not write it as to how I should write it, that is the scriptwriters format, rather I wrote it with the vision of my final video, of how I one it to be. But I notice that is not the right way to write it. Because script is for helping to visualize the idea and concept of the director. Anyway, I dont think I can finish this my tonight, might have to continue tomorrow after class...

Good luck with assignments and projects,

Final Cut Pro 7 vs. Final Cut Pro X (10)

The thing about working with a program is the suitability. How comfortable you are working with the program it self. Because, programs are made by programmers to suite many different people from all walks of life. So in a nutshell, it is you who have to adjust to the way things are in the program itself. Its like making yourself love the person that you most hate.

An Open Truth

Today, I walked the streets of economical heart of Malaysia. Trust me, it was an eye opener. After so many years staying in Malaysia, now I agree and straight forwardly speak out the truth. If you hate what you read here or dont believe me, then you yourself can go and see.

I walked for more than 5 hours in Kuala Lumpur today. To be exact, I walk in Bukit Bintang, which was said to be the heart of business, where travelers come to make deals, do business and hang out with friends and families. To tell you the truth, what I seen today was not business. It was not a place of fun at all.

Instead, it was filled with the smell of vomit, piss and even rotten food that lies on the floor. And with that much people walking on that streets, those food just hits on everyone's shoe. What rots! Futhemore, there were thousands of cigerrate butts laying on the floor, papers and plastic flying all over. It was not a clean sight, not to even mention about doing business there.

Yes, business there is good and money comes. But dont forget about being clean too...I mean...I really wanted to puke with all those smells....

Malaysia's beauty is a beauty, only if they know how to take care of it...

Time To Work

It has been a tired week. With the weather like this, its been raining like for two weeks in KL, lucky thing is that its on and off raining, or else I would not have any clothes left to wear. But there is always the Dobi that I can go to.

Anyway, now my latest project is editing for my dear friend. She is participating in a film competition. I do hope that we win. If not, well at least we did something. Her story is about a young boy who paints with his fingers. He doesnt have brush because his in a poor family. And later the father comes home and give him a broken brush. Somehow I feel like the tag line should be: Better to have it rather than nothing at all.

Tomorrow we will be shooting for a how-to video on making fake blood for production. We are thinking of shooting it in the way of a cooking show. The only problem is that there is only 3 person in the production including myself. Hope that it turns out well and fun.

Well thats all for this morning, hope you guys have a pleasant day ahead of you.

Getting Things Done For School...

I remember when I was back in primary school and even in secondary school, I would come home, eat, on the television and put all of my piles of homework on the table right in front of the television. I would sit there for hours and hours till my mom comes back and I would still be sitting there trying to get my homework done.

Now, I am in university in Selangor. And not to my or any of your surprise, I am still doing my work in front of the television, but guess what, the television remains off all the time! People say that its a habit. But I dont think that its a habit when you start with the television on and now your doing it again with the television off. Its not about habit of sitting in front of the television and doing assignments. It is about the comfortability that takes our mind away.

 It is now my last semester in this place. I cant wait to actually graduate and head out for work. But I will definitely miss some of my wonderful lecturer and friends. I am sure they will fill the same
